Abridged Buu would break the 4th Wall and strip Popo of his memetic powers.
I do like the idea of Popo being Majin Buu, but it would take so much rewriting and revising to try and make something like that work. Much simpler to just have Popo LOLBYE because Earth is screwed.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I wasn't saying Popo was Buu. I was saying that Super Buu absorbs him during his rampage on Super Kami Dende's lookout and Popo was very high at the time. In my hypothetical scenario he finally comes down from his high when Vegeta pulls Fat Buu out of Super Buu and at that point he decides to assert himself.
You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the midA week late but this DB Cember is top 12 Transformations. Sooo anyone hedging bets that Super Saiyan is not #1?
Burning love!Do they mean the top forms or the top transformation scenes?
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.This is another one where your more excited to hear about the runners up than the first prize, because we all know the Number One spot is going to Bad Launch.
The video explains that they mean top forms, and not top transformation scenes, ie they're counting the form you transform into, and not the transformation itself. So the Super Saiyan form is going to be on the list, instead of Goku transforming to fight Freeza, or Future Trunks transforming after Future Gohan dies. That said, those moments are going to be taken into consideration when it comes to how high a form ranks on the list.

Bulma's Top 12 Outfits idea might be gaining traction.
Burning love!I appreciate that they separate how effective a transformation is in theory versus in practice. In theory, Super Saiyan 3 is amazing. Four times Super Saiyan 2?! Holy fuck!
In practice, nobody's ever won a fight using the form. Gotenks got screwed out of his Fusion, Goku discovered at the worst possible time that the form bleeds ki faster than you can even power up, and Beerus made it So Last Season before it ever even got a season to shine in. Super Saiyan 3 wasn't overshadowed by later forms; it has only ever been terrible.
Super Saiyan 3 looks ridiculous, is amazing, and is actually a garbage form whose intense drawbacks far outstrip the benefits of its extreme power output.
I will be surprised if Super Saiyan 3 makes this list.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I doubt Red and Blue will be mashed together, but I do think they'll be close.
On one hand, Red had a fantastic build up and transformation scene to it, particularly in the TV version...but the track record is bad.
While the new powerup turning off in the middle of the fight was great on narrative grounds, it means the only serious fight it had ended with defeat and from them on it's only used as a warm up before Blue gets deployed.
On the other hand, Blue's first appearance was very underwhelming (as Taka said, lots of fanfare, little actual meat), but it being the top transformation for the foreseable future means it actually has decent screentime and kill count.
Are they counting the movies? Because SSJ 3 does have a win under its belt, specifically Hirudegarn.
