Did they redistribute between each other some time during Buu's absorption?

That's what I role with. A rough representation of where the life force goes:

Buff Buu = Pure Buu + South Kaioshin

Fat Buu = Pure Buu + South Kaioshin + Dai Kaioshin

"Good Buu" = Dai Kaioshin + 80% South Kaioshin

"Evil Buu" = Pure Buu + 20% South Kaioshin

Super Buu = Evil Buu + Good Buu

Mr. Buu = Good Buu + 20% South Kaioshin

Pure Buu = Evil Buu - 20% South Kaioshin

And why not? I still don't get why Kid Buu is to be considered weak. Weaker than Super Buu, sure, but not by that huge a margin.

Yes, he is. Not only does Goku say that someone in Kid Buu's tier would be "absolutely no match" for someone in Super Buu's tier, but Goku and Piccolo were both fine with Gotenks taking on Fat Buu with just SS. So fine that they rejected using the ROSAT. This clearly marks Gotenks as many times stronger than Goku, and Super many times stronger than Pure as an extension, since SS Gotenks > someone that can trash SS 2 Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan at the same time > SS 2 Goku.

[up][up] Boo can regenerate, so there can be more than 100% of Boo at any one time.tongue

And yeah, the Boo that fought Evil Boo and the Boo that fought Pure Boo could be different. That's a pretty popular theory, actually.

@Enlong Because there's no reason to think that it's the strongest energy attack. And if Goku was helpless against Super Boo going off power alone, then so would Pure Boo. Then, Super Boo with Gotenks is more than twice as strong as Super Boo without, and Gohan-Boo is even more powerful than that. It's a pretty big gap.

If Buu got his love of food from Dai Kaioshin, did he get his love of fighting from South Kaioshin?

[up]I assumed his regeneration was less creating new matter and more redistributing his current matter (And/or reabsorbing the "destroyed" matter from the air). Like how if you tear off a piece of putty you can still reshape the original blob into the same size as it was before, just less dense. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if he can convert other matter into "Buuium" by eating it.

Possibly?

Of course, his love of fighting could have initially been from his masters' orders. He sort of... stopped fighting after Hercule asked him to consider what he wanted.

[up] What about the bit wehre he puls a blob off of his belly to throw at someone, which immediately pops back into full size?

Buu cares not for you conservation of matter.

Which is good, as he's in a series where conservation of energy is a laughable concept.

[up][up] Nope, because he can regenerate his head tentacle even with there being another one lying on the ground, when fighting Vegetto.

Yeah, I know, I just assumed he grew a new head tentacle by using mass from the rest of his body. Otherwise wouldn't his size or density have increased drastically considering all the regeneration and reabsorption he does?

Maybe I'm looking into this too seriously.

Meh, I'll stick with my personal theory that Buu's "regeneration" isn't so much regrowing body parts like Cell as it is just reforming and reshaping.

Boo can do it either way, he's flexible like that.

I suppose that's possible. It just seems odd. Like, he grows a new head tentacle, but then he absorbs his old one later anyway.

It's like how the original Nameless Namekian split into 2 without losing mass, and later reformed without gaining mass.

#4740: Sep 24th 2013 at 6:53:38 PM

Weird.

Maybe the Nameless Namekian converted energy into matter and vice versa in doing so...?

Meh, I'll just not worry about it.

[up]x8, don't worry, it is at time difficult to follow for even those that have followed dozens of threads on the same subject before. Buu strength is just complicated to figure out.

Guys, the main Dragonball thread is over there. Let's stick to Abridged Series stuff rather than yet more dull power level chat, eh?

What's precedent ever done for us?

It's not really about the numbers so much. It's about the principle.

  • Piccolo < Nappa
  • Nail < 1st Form Frieza
  • Piccolo + Nail > Second Form Frieza

Power levels - the very notion that a character can win a fight with another because his power is just that might higher - are bullshit.

It's rather plain that fusion isn't just simple addition. The fusion is WAY stronger than the sum of its parts, if Vegito and Gotenks are any indication.

Otherwise Super Saiyan Vegito wouldn't even be as strong as Super Saiyan 2 Goku.

And didn't Piccolo train at all after being killed by Nappa?
