Regenerate from Nappa's mouth blast? From Goku's fist of justice?
Which body part was lost here? He blew up and made an egg just before that.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.In the case of his impalement by Kid Goku, the body part lost was a huge chunk of his chest and internal organs. Do those not count as body parts? From the mouth blast, it was whatever damage the mouth blast did to him.
If he can regenerate from "shattered into a million pieces" as long as his head is intact - if he can regrow literally his entire body - then there's no reason these should have been lethal to him.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Which raises even further questions because it disqualifies the idea that the body can die before regeneration kicks in. He regenerated from a smashed off head. If "severed head" can live long enough to regenerate an entire body, nothing short of head destruction should be lethal to a Namekian.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Takes a bit of time to regenerate, and again, only the Warrior-Class Nail and Piccolo have been shown to do it in canon, even though the wiki
states they all can. Plus, they seem weakened after it, and take longer to recover from torso injuries.
x3 He was turned to stone, he probably just slowly regenerating piece by piece to make sure he wasn't out of energy by the time Trunks and Goten came back.
Exactly 5...5 post above this one(Yours)

To spit out another version of himself, which made him implode as he became an empty shell, which then caused an explosion because of the force within.
Buu can do it because he just can. I don't think he would let himself get blown in half multiple times if it was based on his energy at time. Unlike Namekians he can do it the instant he loses it or even from being blown to pieces.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Buu seems to have more trouble regenerating the more exhausted he is. I assume he can only regenerate if he has enough energy to do so (That being said, he'd probably still be alive if splattered while totally spent, just unable to reform until resting for a long time).
The Spirit Bomb could probably have obliterated him even if he was at his peak, but I do imagine fatigue helped too.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Buu wasn't fatigued at all when hit by the Spirit Bomb; he had just stomped all three of the powerful heroes (Goku, Mr. Buu, Vegeta) with ease and was laughing about it. It was simply far more powerful than him and was physically large, allowing it to engulf him. If the same thing was launched at Super Buu, he would've just flicked it away.
Buu can be beaten to death by physical attacks, as his ki drains.

He had been fighting Goku and the others for a long time. Judging by the fact that Fat Buu ran out of energy fighting Kid Buu, and by Buu's regeneration becoming increasingly strained during the fights that actually give him trouble, I think it's safe to assume he has finite energy.
Which would explain why regular Super Saiyan 1 was enough strength to overpower him with the Spirit Bomb.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!What?
Of course. I mean, it's a given that someone's probably going to fight a Saiyan instead of someone else.

I don't know if Buu could be killed by anything short of complete atomization from a powerful energy attack, but he could probably be beaten into unconsciousness or physically weakened and destabilized to such a degree that a weak energy blast could finish the job.

Maybe as Piccolo's power grew so too did his healing ability?
