Background / History

Majin Buu was originally controlled by Babidi's father in an assault against the Supreme Kais. According to the East Supreme Kai, Buu defeated three of the four Kais, leaving the East Supreme Kai as the sole survivor. 22

Babidi's servants collect Vegeta's energy during the World Martial Arts Tournament, accelerating Buu's revival. Gohan recognizes that Buu's resurrection has become inevitable, while the East Supreme Kai fears the creature's return. 22

After Buu awakens, Vegeta attempts to destroy him through self-destruction but fails. Buu later divides into Fat Buu and Evil Buu; Evil Buu consumes Fat Buu and becomes the more powerful second-stage form. 27 28

Appearance

Majin Buu's appearance changes radically with each transformation.

• Fat Buu — his original first-stage form. 28
• Evil Buu — the second-stage form created after Fat Buu is consumed; described as taller and more intelligent. 28 31
• Kid Buu — a short final form produced when Fat Buu is forced out of the second-stage body. 31

Personality

Fat Buu is described as comparatively less evil and initially uninterested in destroying Earth. That restraint disappears after his inner conflict produces Evil Buu. 28

Evil Buu is volatile, cruel, and power-driven. He attacks Kami's Lookout, targets Videl and the others, seeks to absorb powerful fighters, and grows frustrated when Gohan's clone delays him. 29 30

Kid Buu is entirely primal. He lacks intelligence, ignores Gohan to target weaker bystanders, and acts through destructive instinct rather than strategy. 31

Abilities & Skills

Regeneration and Immortality

Majin Buu can recover from severe physical damage almost immediately.

• A hole blasted through his body heals in less than ten seconds. 29
• Kid Buu can regenerate as long as even a piece of flesh remains. 33
• His immortality allows him to endure the Ten-Tails' chains while his energy is drained. 32

Splitting and Transformation

Buu can separate aspects of himself into distinct forms.

• Fat Buu and Evil Buu split into two beings with equal energy. 28
• Evil Buu turns Fat Buu into candy and consumes him to become the second-stage form. 28
• The second-stage body later expels Fat Buu, producing Kid Buu. 31

Absorption

Buu seeks to absorb other fighters to increase his power.

• He plans to absorb Piccolo, Gohan's clone, and the defenders at Kami's Lookout. 30
• He uses detached flesh to envelop Gohan, but Gohan's superior ki prevents the absorption from succeeding. 30
• His absorption of Fat Buu produces his strongest second-stage form. 28

Candy Beam

Buu can use magic to transform targets into candy.

• He attempts to turn Gohan's clone into candy, but the technique fails because the clone is an energy construct rather than a physical body. 30
• Evil Buu successfully turns Fat Buu into candy before consuming him. 28

Energy Attacks

Buu can fire destructive energy blasts and sustained barrages.

• He launches an Energy Cannon at Android 18 during his assault on Kami's Lookout. 29
• Gohan later deflects Buu's Energy Cannons effortlessly, demonstrating the difference in their power. 30
• Kid Buu's reckless planet-destroying bombardments make him dangerous despite his lower raw strength. 28

Relationships

• Babidi — revived Majin Buu using stolen energy; Buu was originally controlled by Babidi's father. 22 24
• East Supreme Kai — survivor of Buu's earlier assault on the Supreme Kais; regards Buu with intense fear. 22
• Fat Buu — Buu's first-stage incarnation; consumed by Evil Buu during the transition to the second stage. 28
• Gohan — principal opponent; Gohan's clone stalls Buu, then Gohan overwhelms him and ultimately feeds Kid Buu to the Ten-Tails. 29 33
• Vegeta — attempts to destroy Buu by sacrificing himself, but fails. 27
• Kakarot — considered capable of contending with Buu through Super Saiyan 3, though Buu's second-stage power is assessed as beyond him. 26 28

Story Role / Major Arcs

Revival

Buu's impending resurrection drives the pursuit of Babidi and his servants. Vegeta's harvested energy makes the revival unavoidable, and Buu awakens despite Vegeta's sacrifice. 22 27

Second-Stage Assault

After splitting and absorbing Fat Buu, Evil Buu attacks Kami's Lookout and pursues Gotenks, Videl, Piccolo, and the others. Gohan sends a 50%-power clone to delay him until his potential-unlocking ritual is complete. 28 30

Battle with Gohan

Gohan arrives after unlocking his potential and easily overpowers second-stage Buu. Buu's absorption attempt fails, and Gohan forces him into his third-stage transformation. 30 31

Defeat inside the Ten-Tails

Gohan summons the Ten-Tails and teleports Kid Buu into its body. After Kid Buu's rampage threatens the summon, Gohan binds him with chains and has the Ten-Tails drain all of his energy. Kid Buu loses his powers, ki, and existence entirely. 31 33
