@@martinderabbie3429 I'm fine with Kid Buu being the original. It follows the trend of the final baddie of each main Arc being "small but dangerous" with the the only except being Cell.

Grey buu isn't actually evil. That was a mistranslation. Grey buu was a manifestation of fat buus rage when hercule was shot. He expelled his negative emotions and Grey buu was created from them. They call him wrathful buu. They have updated the manga to reflect this.

Evil Buu is a whole new entity IMO. Buu split himself into two, one being Evil Buu. But because he split from Fat Buu, Evil Buu retains some influence from his appearance. Kid Buu is Buu without any external influence. I think you could see it as when Fat Buu was removed from Super Buu, Evil Buu became Kid Buu. Like Kid Buu is Evil Buu’s true form.

What I'm saying is that both Kid Buu and Evil Buu are pure evil, but Kid Buu is more so reborn through the physical body of Evil Buu. Remember that Super Buu and Evil Buu are actually the same being, they have the same mind and personality. But once Fat Buu is removed from Super Buu, that act removed ALL influence of Fat Buu from Evil/Super Buu, which in turned caused the mind...the individuality of Kid Buu to resurface and thus transformed Evil Buu's body into that of Kid Buu.

@Greek Young buck OK, except that Evil Buu came out of Fat Buu, so the two merging should have just restored their prior state, i.e. Fat Buu. Why didn't it? Well, Evil Buu became the dominant personality, right? But if something as simple as Buu's state of mind can completely change his form like that, why should removing Fat Buu just change it back to Evil Buu like it was a matter of simple mathematics? Besides, the Buu that was removed could have been the "complete" Fat Buu that included everything that made Evil Buu what he was. Who's to say what happens inside that blob of magical bubblegum? The way I've always seen it, Buu isn't the sort of thing where you can expect changes to his form to be completely predictable, especially if they're based on removing parts of himself. In other words, it's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit.

@@eightbittemplar7394 Remember that fat buu is the result of not just the previous Supreme Kai but one of the other 3 kais kid buu fought.

I think comparing it to the Nameless Namekian is probably the best analogy I've heard. I don't think I completely agree with it, but it certainly makes the most sense out of everything that I've seen presented.

[@zabustifu]

The analogy is not perfect, though, due to the Shins within Buu. I mean King Piccolo is definitely all around inferior to the Nameless Namekian as he's just a fraction of him, while it's not that clear cut about Kid Buu vs Evil Buu, since the latter has the Shins within him (or part of the Shins, since Fat Buu must have kept a part of them).

[@RealTalkOrWalk]

Evil Buu is the most underused & underrated version of Buu & my favorite iteration of him. It sucks that he was only around for a single chapter & just 2 episodes bc he was so awesome looking design wise. I wish he would’ve spawned for at least one more chapter after they ripped out Fat Buu and then when he’s not strong enough to beat Goku & Vegeta, he transforms or reverts into Kid Buu. Anyways this has been the best explanation of this I’ve heard so far and I think you nailed this explanation. Btw glad you’re back man!!!

[@mattys6106]

It makes perfect sense for kid buu to have emerged. The question is, why did the grey buu emerge at all? That’s how I see it

[@zaja2418]

To me, Grey Buu is basically a metaphor for the conflict between good and evil that existed inside Buu. Kid Buu was the original creature, he then absorbed the South Kaioshin, and the Grand Kaioshin, the result being Fat Buu. Fat Buu was not as chaotic evil as Kid Buu because, as a side effect of having them inside his being, the South Kaioshin and the Grand Kaioshin (mostly the Grand Kaioshin) transformed him into a different creature. Now, Fat Buu was a whole new being that was born of Kid Buu + South Kaioshin + Grand Kaioshin (with the Grand Kaioshin having a little bit more of influence behind the wheel). This new being, however, still had evil in him (thanks to Kid Buu being in the passenger seat, so to speak). What happened, from a Watsonian perspective, is that Grey Buu is basically Kid Buu's voice telling the Grand Kaioshin: "I'm not this obese clown. I used to be much more". Grey Buu is basically Kid Buu taking hold of the wheel and putting the Grand Kaioshin in the passenger seat, which created Super Buu as a side effect. I see it this way: Kid Buu + Kaioshins = Fat Buu (with the Grand Kaioshin holding him back). Kid Buu + Kaioshins = Super Buu (with Kid Buu using both the South Kaioshin and the Grand Kaioshin as a power up). Basically, Super Buu is what, by all accounts, should've happened if the Grand Kaioshin didn't effect Buu in a weird way. Fat Buu is a fluke, Grey Buu is Kid Buu's metabolism trying to correct an irregularity in his system. Of course, this is just a Watsonian answer. A Doylist explanation is that Toriyama wanted to surprise his readers one last time.😆

[@ViewerOnline101]

Evil Buu was a copy of Fat Buu as he was. But when Evil Buu absorbed Fat Buu, he took in the original pure essence of Kid Buu (similar to how Cell maintain his perfect form's "code" and regenerated back into it even after losing 18). However, even though he had taken in that part, the essence of the Kais within Fat Buu inside him blocked that off. But once it was removed, he reverted to that original form and power.

[@CarlyRivers_91]

ive always viewed that old man buu as simply an embodiment of his anger split off after having "enough" and no longer wishing to be repressed. And Kid buu was an actual first stage form instead of a manifestation.

I'd say Kid Buu, or "Pure Boo" if you prefer, is the complete, original Buu. Evil Buu on the other hand is just half of Buu. You could think of it as Fat Buu splitting apart into a Yin half and a Yang half, and then getting reabsorbed into a complete whole again with his balance reversed.

Right, and then Good Buu is a combination of the Kaioshin he absorbed, and has barely any of Buu's essence left (even Pure wasn't exactly the same as he was much later stated to have had god ki).

Evil Buu is not exactly the same entity as Kid Buu. Yes, they're both pure evil, but Evil Buu is the evil incantation of Fat Buu. That's why they have the same outfit. Super Buu was born by Evil Buu absorbing Good Buu, thus swapping the roles, and putting Buu's evil side in charge. When the Good Buu was later removed from Super Buu, we thus see the evil incantation of Super Buu (Kid Buu). Same outfit.

[@t5hammer871]

My theory is that when Super Buu was born, Fat Buu, and all of the kais in him were put into a pod. When Fat Buu was torn out of Super Buu, all the kais went with him, spawning Kid Buu again since Evil Buu was the product of the kais being absorbed too (look at his clothes.) Additionally, Skinny Buu (despite the name) wasn't "evil incarnate" the same way Kid Buu was. Skinny Buu was all of Buu's WRATH personified, IE A Buu of Pure Wrath generated by the near-loss of both of his friends. He killed Van Zant for what he did, then proceeded to beat the CRAP out of Fat Buu AFTER Fat Buu swung first. I agree that he is revenge personified and IS evil. But not Pure Evil. We see that Super Buu, then, is Fat Buu if his evil side was dominant. He didn't ACTUALLY get stronger but that with his evil side out, Fat Buu can access all of his power he absorbed from the Kais (including Dai Kaio which initially made him weaker). The main reason Buu, then, wasn't digested after Grey Buu turned him into chocolate could be because he holds all of the kai-energy. When Fat Buu was torn out of Grey Buu, it tore the Kai-power out of Grey buu too who was manifested from Fat Buu who ate all the kais. This forced Grey Buu to revert to Kid Buu, one without kai-energy to influence his form and his personality was completely overtaken by the wild madness of a pure majin.

Evil Buu is a manifestation of Fat Buu, you can say basically he got so mad he almost turned into kid Buu, but the Dia's abilities basically expelled the anger and evil instead, this would expell parts of Buff Kai and Kid Buu and it basically became sentient and turned into Evil Buu, it's like how Fat Buu can exist separately because he's an incarnation of Kid Buu, and Dai

[@alexismanzanarez3815]

Big Facts!!!!!!!

[@GUNDAMURX73]

The way I see it (which agrees with a lot of what you're saying) both "innocent" and "evil" Buu are two halves of Innocent Buu. I think the emaciated form of Evil Buu points to Innocent Buu having all of the Kais within himself still, but now having expelled all the evil within himself having come to understand pain and loss and *choosing* to change. When Evil Buu eats Innocent, he fills out and becomes "whole", basically Innocent Buu but with evil in full control and far, FAR less restrained. On the other hand, Kid Buu is the "true" Buu, before any sort of influence of good in his being. When the pod containing Innocent Buu was ripped out, it quite literally separated all of the essence of the kais and Innocent Buu out of Super Buu-- and with evil in full control, Buu loses his current form and undergoes a transformation back to his purest state. In fact, it's kind of miraculous that Innocent Buu and Kid Buu can exist independently. You can chalk it up to "that's just because Buu is weird like that", but personally I like to think that it's because Innocent Buu grew into enough of his own person to have a "being" all of his own, without needing the evil within him to make him whole. But also, yeah, Buu is just weird like that! I think that's what makes him such an interesting antagonist for Z's final arc. Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, all of them have motives and reasoning to what they do that make them understandable. But Buu clearly operates differently from everything else in the story thus far, something beyond mortal rules and comprehension.

[@Goblin_Hands]

Fat Buu isn't the same as Good/Innocent Buu. Most of his power went into Evil Buu, making him the weakest Buu by far.

[@jaidora]

If I can summarize this outcome, Fat Buu is more or less Buu with gods absorbed in his body, one being powerful and the other being the most gentle soul ever, but the traumatic event with the two looters expelled Buu's "wrath" which only grew stronger after absorbing Fat Buu. He is more or less magical and it's possible that absorbing the pure hearted god greatly hindered Buu's overall power, we saw how similar Fat Buu looked like Super Buu when he was training for the Tournament of Power in Super so there's a connection there.

[@idreadFell365]

So Fat Buu (Who had two kais absorbed) basically created Evil Buu and Evil Buu (Who also had the two kais absorbed?) ate Fat Buu and became Super Buu? Or is Evil Buu just an altered version of Fat Buu but doesn’t really have the two kais absorbed and so developed a dependency on Fat Buu after eating him to stick around?

[@darthnutsack6717]

I always thought Evil Buu was just Super Buus weakened state from having fully absorbed the Tall Kai and having been dormant for so long in the fat form from the Fat Kai. So once he absorbed the Fat Buu (Fat Kai Form) he regained that power and turned back into Super Buu. Yall gotta remember, the Fat Buu and Super Buu forms are based off of the two kais, the Fat Kai and the Tall Kai, that Kid Buu absorbed when he first attacked the Kai's planet.

[@jordanbauer740]

btw super buu is actually not as strong as the version of buu after absorbing the strong kai since in the transformation from super to kid buu he becomes even bigger before returning to his small form

[@andrewrivers]

Yet the kais are forgotten about when they pull out fat buu, if they can pull out the kais from buus, like they pulled out gohan, piccolo, trunks, goten, and Fat buu, but I guess that fat buu is allowed to hold the kais existence in fat buu for some reason. On his new goodness.

[@TrvisXXIII]

I chalk it up to Kid Buu existing due to the transformation method. Evil Buu didn’t have any pink matter whatsoever and was the complete polar opposite of good Buu, so because of how much purity there was in Buu after being absorbed by the evil one as the base, it created a trickle down effect to where Kid Buu retained the color but was still pure evil incarnate. I’d have the same argument if Evil Buu were to get absorbed, we’d have a different final transformation in my opinion

[@JackieFuckingChan]

Evil Buu has characteristics of the Supreme Kai's that Fat Buu absorbed. He has South Kai's temper, Grand Supreme Kai's gluttony, a little of both their intelligence, knowledge of magic with the candy beam. When Evil Buu absorbed Fat Buu, he seems to have partitioned the Supreme Kai's into Fat Buu's body. Vegeta and Goku didn't see any pods for the Supreme Kai's in Super Buu's body - so they were clearly moved into the Fat Buu.

[@ddjacksonjr97]

I remember questioning this as a kid. I had head-cannoned that he had siphoned off some of fat Buu's life energy or whatever while he was absorbed; in order to achieve that form.

[@TrvisXXIII]

[@ultrainstinctgokublack9097]

This is by far the best breakdown of grey/kid/fat Buu I have seen. Great Video LSM!

Maybe it's design could of been intended to be the original Buu but pink instead but it probably looked too much like super Buu but weaker so it wouldn't make sense.

[@Hunter-pt4zy]

As awesome as an explanation this is and how it fits into the story, I think the reasoning simply comes down to artistic style in the end for the manga as a literal thing. I believe Toriyama just decided he was satisfied with having fun with his more silly designs and ideas and decided to go back into a more serious style, hence why so much of Majin Buu's identity seems to just vanish, despite both Evil Buu and Majin Buu combining. Toriyama gets rid of features both Buus share like the vest, the yellow gloves, anything that was exaggerating and/or hinting to a sillier style. This is why I believe we suddenly have a very "Z"ish appearance out of nowhere, sleek, clean, buff, scary looking and sharp design. It's just Toriyama changing styles or going through influential phases and working them into the story. He had his fun with doing unexpected tropes like playing with magic and wizards or using a rather unconventional body for fighting super battles. When this change happens, it gets grim, all sense of fun seems to disappear, but he manages to keep the more unique abilities of Buu intact like using different parts of his body and what not.

[@Zarosian_Ice]

I don't see how this was ever a discussion, it was always super clear to me. Fat Buu had an internal struggle, and seperated his evil side from his good side, creating 2 versions of "Fat Buu", the essense that makes both of them is the same, just 1 is good the other is evil. When Fat Buu dispelled his energy that is all he did, dispell his "bad energy" he did not take himself out of the equation. Kid Buu absorbing kais is what made him weaker, as soon as the "fat kai buu" was deleted from super buu's system he reverted back to his prime. I personally never saw a plothole here either.

[@alexocadiz864]

Great video as always. There are some things about Dragon Ball that I've wondered about and was hoping you could make some videos on one or all of these questions. -How did some of the early Dragon Ball characters, like Bulma, Pilaf, and the Red Ribbon Army, learn about the Dragon Balls? -Why didn't Ginyu try to or at least consider switching bodies with Frieza? -Why didn't Babidi (and perhaps Bibidi) use his mind control spell on Buu like he did with Dabura, Vegeta, etc.?

[@SaturnineXTS]

I think you got exactly the right idea. Evil Buu was the evil half of the Buu with both the Kaioshins inside him, so not at all the same as Kid Buu. That still requires some suspension of disbelief in regards to how Kid Buu came around though, since you need to assume that all the Kaioshin power got somehow concentrated inside the absorbed Fat Buu when Super Buu came into being, rather than remaining distributed equally. Which makes no sense at all, but guess we have to roll with it. I used to also think about why Super Buu is so strong, and I used the fusion argument - just like when Kami fused with Piccolo, they became much stronger than just a + b. But then when we were told that Buff Buu was even stronger than Super Buu, that argument kind of lost water, since it meant that Kid Buu with the South Kaioshin absorbed was already stronger than even Super Buu was. And absorbing a single Kaioshin doesn't sound like it should make someone stronger than fusion would, so I instead chose to think that Super Buu just gains access to a portion of the South Kaioshin's power which Fat Buu didn't have access to. All in all, we can at least know that the South Kaioshin was mad powerful, definitely way above SSj3 Goku tier, probably relative to Ultimate Gohan.

[@gaaraofthefunk265]

I'm no Dragon Ball expert, but I always thought Grey Buu was the original Kid Buu, and splitting from Fat Buu took a lot of energy from him, making him appear old. After he was Buuhan, he had enough energy to go back to his younger form.

[@mathieuleroux9912]

Thank you for giving us more clarity about all this mess about Buu.

[@devilshooter126m8]

Great video I believe the answer simply comes down the body of Super Buu vs Evil Buu's body. When Evil Buu eat Fat Buu he gained the DNA of OG/Kid Buu, explaining why his body goes from grey to pink. I always find it odd how the 2 Buus killed the shooters one used a standard Ki blast, while Super Buu killed him by a unique magic way with his new body. I believe Super Buu was testing his new magic body/abilites. with Super Buu containing OG/Kid Buu's DNA the only thing keeping his Super Buu form was the fat Buu, after losing that his body simply went to most basic form that was in the DNA.

[@PlagueOfGripes]

Matches with my own thoughts. Evil Buu is the evil version of Buu with the kaioshins in him. Kid Buu is without them influencing him, barring Fat Buu's temporary influence as he attacked Mr Satan. But the real answer is Toriyama was just throwing shit at the wall. If Buu had tried to purge his evil after absorbing Gohan, Piccolo or so on, the appearance of that version of Evil Buu would probably be been different as well.

It's always been funny to me that Supreme Kai just kinda shrugs off the fact that Fat Buu is now good and running around with the heroes while South Kai and Grand Kai are still imprisoned inside of him. You'd think it'd be a little more of a conflict of interest. Yeah, he probably doesn't wanna rock the boat and potentially spawn another Kid Buu, but you'd think he'd at least want him dead alongside Vegeta after the battle, if only to set his old friends to rest. Either that, or Toriyama forgot they were even inside of him. I mean, DB Super basically forgot that Grand Kais were a thing, so...

[@N.i.E.M.O]

Toriyama literally forgot. That IS the explanation

[@professorhaystacks6606]

It's not really clear if South Kai is inside him. Kid's regression through the Buff Buu form suggests South Kai is dead after he goes past that, though WHY he is isn't clear. Super Manga eventually remembered Dai Kaioshin at least. It'd be more accurate to say Super forgot all BUT the Dai Kaioshin. The direction Kaioshin and lesser Kai don't seem to exist in other universes.

I like the idea of Good Buu being inside Super Buu, but technically shouldn't we see the two Kais instead? Why are there two Kid Buus if it could spawn again by ripping out the two Kais within Good Buu, or would Buu cease to exist if that were to happen now that Kid Buu has been eliminated?

[@KiremiReviews]

Good Buu is the manifestation of the kaoshin who was powerful enough to effect his personality

[@metaljake89]

It's pretty cool buu has his own purification system

[@bombasticplasticaf1030]

It's been awhile since I've been this satisfied with a fan explanation. Great video!

[@sirsir9665]

I like that they gave Hurcle a big role and he actually was a good guy and was able to befriend Buu and got him to stop killing.

[@arturoperezify]

One small detail that I noticed is that evil/gray buu actually kind of resembles the guy who shot Bee and Mr Satan. Fat Buu saw that guy as evil so his anger literally manifested in that form.

[@LennonVentresca]

Glad you're making videos again. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work.

[@joetyrant4713]

Kid Buu is the original Buu, after absorbing S supreme Kai, buff Buu took over. After the Grand Supreme Kai was absorbed, Fat Buu became the active persona of Buu at the time. So technically Fat Buu should have pods with the Kais inside of him. Fat Buu was a combination of Kid Buu with the 2 Kais. When Grey Buu split from Fat Buu, their power was split between them with the majority going to Grey Buu. The Kai pods probably remained inside of Fat Buu. When Grey Buu absorbed Fat Buu, the evil side took over the main persona of Buu. Leaving Fat Buu with the Kais inside of a different pod inside of Super Buu. When Fat Buu (with the kais) were ripped from Super Buu, there was no longer anything inside of Buu to influence his form. Thus Kid Buu was reformed. That's my explanation

[@Alienldr]

That makes sense. The only thing though is that it assumes after the good buu was absorbed, then the kai influence from the evil buu was absorbed into that good buu in his body. That would also explain why super buu looks much closer to kid buu vs the Supreme Kais like fat buu was. If you accept that assumption, then it makes sense.

[@pietrolollo1233]

A year later,however i just wanted to point this out. In the video,you talk about how cool evil buu design is,and i agree with you. I don't like db super,but I loved how "Slim Buu" who is good buu after he trained, looks extremely similiar to his evil counterpart. I think that new form was a bit inspired from evil buu.

[@ianhadlock2405]

Dude, I can't get over how different you look. You look great congratulations 🎊

[@DLFLux]

Kid Buu was the original Buu, he reverted back to his former self. Evil Buu was like a Piccolo/Kami situation, but there was still the influence of the kais, it wasn't until he was rid of their influence that he could revert back to the real original version. Makes perfect sense.

[@kyurei4478]

I always wondered why it was this way so thanks for this video. I think it makes perfect sense and you're in the right but it just wasn't explained that well in the manga to begin with. Evil Buu appears very briefly and disappears quickly as well so the identity of this character stays pretty obscure.

[@bjeff2k]

Excellent breakdown. I finally understand after years thinking about it lol

[@KinnikuGameDojo]

Because Akira's editor said " make the design of his final form more interesting"

[@WZRDNELL-ik2ru]

Lmfaooo Goku and Vegeta were dead talking shit and proceeded to get they shits whipped 😂😂😂

[@jacktar25]

This is my first of your content and i gotta say, i enjoyed how you presented yourself and your ideas. You're so calm that I felt relaxed like a warm blanket. I'm definitely going to look at more of your videos. Also based on what the manga said about condensed wrath and sh8n trying to remove fat buu too is rather interesting. Reason being if fat buu can just expelle certain emotions out of himself if put in a stressful situation then what's to say there couldn't be a buu for almost every emotion or some combo of two or three emotions? If there is no limit to this maybe because of magic or something to do with buu himself. We could potentially see another wrath buu or something else.

[@Tophadoodledoo]

The intriguing part is that the Good Buu could be reverted to Kid Buu if a nefarious person were to go into him and tear the Kiaoshin out.

[@alexanderrobins7497]

But then if the first Buu we see is Kid Buu after absorbing those people, why weren't the other Kais seen in Super Buu?

[@AnimatedReCreation]

Best explanation of Kid Buu vs Evil Buu I've ever heard.

[@kylewilliam4230]

The, “evil earthworm Jim” comment had me cacklin 😂

[@yungblade7]

I can't believe I been watching this channel since middle school

[@FatalWarGhost]

Laughingstock about to bring back DBZtube single handedly

[@rennenb]

This is what I’ve always thought great video, been enjoying this live cam videos

[@nameundisclosed8667]

In my opinion it was because of the two Kaioshin that Kid Boo had previously absorbed (incurring his transoformation into Fat Boo) still residing inside Good Boo's head, and the removal of both energies consecutively caused Boo to first revert to Buff Boo through Grand Kaioshin's effects disappearing first (as he was the more recent absorbee), before the erosion of South Kaioshin's traits triggered the reversion back into Kid Boo.

[@user-rz7hg9my6h]

Ah, Evil Buu. The Future Trunks of the villains. Shows up, kicks ass, and leaves.

[@Jlaps941]

4:44 the shade thrown at Shin 😂

[@Ephemeral08]

Kid Buu is pure chaos. I see it as the removal of the Supreme Kai's influence over Kid Buu. That's why Super Buu is so concerned. I think Super Buu cherishes his sentience and doesn't want to return to a state of pure, instinctual chaos. Edit: Supreme Kai knew exactly what he was doing by allowing himself to be absorbed by Buu.

[@argus2244]

i remember reading that toriyama explained that kid buu is the most primal unaltered most malicious form of buu

[@CC-bn2ws]

Man I haven't listened to you, qaaman, blackenfist or the others in a few years. Was rereading dbmultiverse, and for some reason had this same question like 2 days ago, today youtube decided to add laughingstock media to my feed, I clicked, and here we are...weird huh.... I had pretty much the same thought process in the end. Fat buu and "evil buu" was like kami's split with king piccolo. And I also get taking fat buu's goodness out of super buu would lead to the reversion back to kid buu. But, I don't know, somewhere in the middle is something missing for me.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

You know this was a question Quaaman himself had asked that I don't think myself could ever answer but you and some others answered it here perfectly. I think 😅😅

[@KingKaiserSW]

Glad to see your KZbin retirement was as legit as Ric Flair's.

[@mainelettuce9040]

I love this channel. Just gave me the answer to a question I had as a kid. And it makes so much more sense now.

[@mikayelalikhanyan1587]

this vid is more energetic than the last face reveal thankfully

[@beautifulstrange7057]

I hadn’t thought about this before. Well put.

[@Imperfectcelll]

I really liked Kid Buu. Even as a kid, I liked how crazy bro was. I remember when he fell asleep in the middle of Goku and Vegeta talking, bro woke up and starts beating his chest and just goes ape shit lmao

[@FurbyParade226]

The real question is, what would happen if Kid Buu absorbed Fat Buu? Would he turn into Super Buu or something entirely different?

[@ShiningJudgment666]

Probably still Super Buu.

[@FurbyParade226]

@@ShiningJudgment666 That's if Evil Buu absorbs Fat Buu though. It's so damn confusing

[@ShiningJudgment666]

@@FurbyParade226 I'm of the belief that Evil Buu is the way he is either because he's been repressed inside Buu for so long so he becomes the result rather than Kid Buu after being expelled from Fat Buu, or due to there being a faint Supreme Kai influence within him so rather than being Kid Buu, he's the grey Buu we got. Super Buu is essentially the complete/full grown Buu so he's likely the result regardless of if Evil Buu or Kid Buu absorbed Fat Buu. It's definitely confusing.

[@clintongillespie4811]

You could say a gray boo regained how it once was when absorbing the good part but when a step further and became an adult as well

[@blaketindle4703]

Grey Buu was still dressed like a Kai. Must’ve still been some degree of influence. Grey Buu wasn’t 100 percent evil.

[@YcMdattGUY]

so Fat Buu created Evil Buu when he was overwhelmed by anger then Evil Buu ate Fat Buu and made Super Buu? And the original Buu is Pure Buu (Kid Buu) but the most known Buu is Fat Buu who was created after Pure Buu absorbed the South Supreme Kai?

[@liquidladdy]

Yeah it's that complicated

[@ODDiSEE_]

I just rewatched the buu saga, I realized that kid Buu and evil Buu more than likely have the same power level.

[@ShiningJudgment666]

Possibly. Kid Buu may be slightly stronger due to better control or grasp of his power. I feel like Evil Buu is basically Kid Buu but like that due to being repressed inside Buu for such a long time so he can't quite access his full power. Absorbing the good Buu likely 're-activated' Kid Buu at the same time as he became Super Buu and would be the result had Fat Buu been removed from him.

[@AstraFulminous]

Same my guess was because Fat Buu is still more Grand (Dai) Supreme Kai and South Supreme Kai distorted essences covering over Buu based personalites than Kid Buu and during the split those two kai ended up with Fat Buu while Super Buu was going through some sort of remaining cache of whatever had left rather than the live source data. ... ... ...!!! Which means we might be able to see South Supreme Kai emerge from Fat Buu as well or maybe even a third option where because the order of what Kid Buu had absorbed was changed South Supreme Kai himself id actually already free from the Buu's but hasnt shown himself to Supreme Kai due for his own personal reasons beyond that. Or maybe he really was with Kid Buu and his remaining soul was used to create Uub.

[@N.i.E.M.O]

Because Toriyama was making things up as he went along and he probably just forgot that Evil Buu was even a thing.

[@dassechsteelement9989]

The interesting question is, which abilities has the Evil Buu? It is possible, that this Buu has no special ability like the other Buus. No transform beam, no absorbing, no regeneration.. Great video🙂👍

[@SamsarasArt]

In every other version of Buu, there's some level of reason and personality. But with Kid Buu, he's just pure chaos. Like whatever soul there was in Buu is no more

[@robxholicfoxyfan8552]

Evil Buu is a spawn made from righteous yet conflicted anger and attacks the ones who hurt his friends, while Kid Buu has no direction whatsoever.

[@TZmayo]

I looked at the regression back into kid buu as his body doing a hard reset essentially. Mans just got his ass kicked to hell and back and then had people he absorbed forcefully removed sending his body or his immune system into a panic state setting him back to the basics essentially which is why you also see him as buff buu for a sec.

[@nikiz62]

This video popping up right after I finished rewatching buu saga 😳🤔

[@boneman9751]

I feel like all this confusion could be perfectly resolved with only a handful of changes. 1. They remove south kai, 2. We change the order of the buu’s. 3. Evil buu is buff instead of skinny (because buff buu literally just disappears). The new order of buu evolution would have to go: •base kid buu •a pink buff buu (south kai absorbed) •”innocent” super buu •buff evil buu (with the south kai) and a fat good buu (with the daikaio) as the byproduct instead of evil buu as the byproduct •evil super buu (fat buu reabsorbed) •all the super buu transformations •then everyone gets pulled out (south kai included) and he reverts back to kid buu

[@BlueEyedVibeChecker]

Because children are the most horrid balls of hatred this world has ever seen, it was the natural choice for a villain.

[@MementoDespair]

So Evil Buu still had Kai Influence but the evil of Buu was just too great so Evil/Buu was born and took control over the good.

[@SnugglehPuppeh]

Not sure if you've already explored it, but talking about how the devilmite beam would work on various characters, especially Buu, could be a great video. Thanks for all the great content.

[@rayneozier]

Kid Buu was so fun to play as in the old PS2 era games.

[@JusticeSolaris85]

12:57 Dai Kaiohshin is still present inside Fat Bu, during Moro Arc we discover that he and Boo can switch places

[@XOnewingedangel917]

Been a fan of DB since the 90s when I first watched on Toonami, I think this is a pretty good explanation
