Majin Buu in Dragon Ball Z is an unimaginably strong monster, so fighting him has led to many plot twists that the audience almost cannot expect.
Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Saga is a film that leaves the audience with many impressions when the script is filled with plot twists. The first surprise comes from the arc’s main villain Majin Buu; Between his chaotic personality, diverse powers, and confusing appearance, this destroyer is like a gold mine to exploit and develop the plot. The second surprise comes from the way the main characters confront Buu; Not only do they try their best, but they also have to overcome both their own limits and the established concepts in the world of Dragon Ball. To see how Fusion Saga has created great plot twists, let’s review a few highlights in this arc.
- Gohan breaks the divine sword
After Gohan’s defeat at the hands of Majin Buu, it seemed like the only way to defeat him was to increase his power. The key to doing this is to use the almighty sword Z. However, Gohan accidentally breaks the sword during an encounter with the Katchin block. Thought this was a disaster and the legend of the sword’s invincibility was not only exaggerated but also put Gohan at risk of losing the opportunity to defeat Buu.
But the biggest surprise is that the sword’s true value lies inside. The sword was originally used to seal an ancient ancestor of the Supreme Kai. This old man helped properly train Gohan to confront Buu. Turns out breaking the sword was a good thing.
- Satan befriends Majin Buu
When Majin Buu reduces the number of people on Earth to a very few, the fate of the entire planet rests in the hands of champion Hercule Satan. To the audience, they make sure Satan has been defeated by his enemies, so it seems like he can’t do anything. However, Satan did not stop Buu by fighting directly. Instead, he befriended Majin Buu and convinced him to swear not to kill. Satan may not be as good as the Z warriors, but he is very good at pleasing others, including Goku.
Although Buu later breaks his promise, Satan’s non-violent peacemaking still has a positive effect and is remembered throughout the rest of the film. Satan’s power is of course a bit weak, but he still plays a quite important role in the movie.
- Buu flies wildly
Super Buu’s appearance was a surprise beyond everyone’s expectations. After losing a battle with his evil incarnation, Fat Buu was destroyed and became a fearsome enemy. Unlike Majin Buu, the main group of characters had to fight very persistently until the moment the evil Buu appeared.
It’s clear that Super Buu doesn’t follow the same human rules as Fat Buu. If Fat Buu gave the gladiators two days to prepare, Super Buu simply made a quick request. Instead of destroying each city, he launched a large-scale attack to wipe out the survivors. He even turns people into candy to eat. In short, Majin Buu is an extremely serious version.
- Goku and Vegeta return
Goku is never seen as truly resurrected. He is willing to let Gohan and his friends become the next generation to protect the Earth. Unfortunately, when Buu almost took down Gohan, Goku was forced to turn back and fight one more time. Goku returning to the role of protagonist seems obvious, but not everyone is ready for this.
However, the bigger surprise that happens in this movie is that Vegeta is also revived. Realizing that King Yenma and Baba have agreed to bring a powerful warrior back to life for one day to stop Buu. This plot twist is really great in the way it builds the plot settings, it is almost impossible for the audience to predict Vegeta’s death or the rule of resurrecting in one day is the way to bring him back to fight with Goku. .
- Adventure inside Majin Buu
When Vegito was absorbed into Buu’s body, no one was sure what would happen next. Vegito disappeared, Buu completely eliminated his formidable opponents. Everything seems to have come to an end.
But the plot twist occurs when Vegito still survives being absorbed, although the price to pay is that Potara Fusion is about to expire. So Goku and Vegeta are free to explore Buu’s body, hoping to find and free the others. Such a unique adventure is probably not something the audience could have expected.
