[edit] Introduction

Majin Buu was created thousands of years ago by the evil wizard Bibidi. Following Bibidi's orders Majin Buu destroyed countless worlds and murdered billions but as time went by Majin Buu became more and more difficult for Bibidi to control. Because of this Bibidi began to seal Buu up in a magic ball as they moved between worlds. Once they arrived Bibidi would cast a spell that would unleash Buu upon the planet, and when Buu was finished another spell would lock him up again. Buu was only stopped from destroying the Earth because East Kaiôshin (Supreme Kai) confronted and defeated Bibidi before he could release Buu. With nobody to cast the spell to unlock the ball Buu was sealed forever. The Supreme Kai considered attempting to destroy Buu while he was in the ball, but considered it too risky as there was a good chance all he would achieve would be to release Buu.

Bibidi had a son, the evil wizard Babidi who knew all of his father's spells except the spell that could release Buu. But many years after Buu's containment, Babidi through clever scheming was able to release his father's creation (Babidi Saga).

[edit] Outline

The first Buu we see is Fat Buu. He is bright pink in colour and his body seems to have the consistency of chewing gum. He wears billowy white trousers held up with a black belt with a gold buckle bearing the 'M' majin symbol. He wears bright yellow boots and gloves. He also wears a black jacket and a purple cape. He is constantly grinning, his eyes seem shut all the time, and his head has a small tentacle attached to it that can be used as a magical ray to transform people into food.

When Buu comes out of the egg, Goku and Vegeta sense his energy and put the battle on hold. They realize the true danger and go to fight him, but Vegeta tricks Goku into letting down his guard and attacks him from the back. He then takes a Senzu bean and flies off to fight Majin Buu.

Initially the most surprising thing about Buu is his childlike manner. This villain is unlike his predecessors Freeza and Cell who were ruthless killers that seemed to only care about pain and suffering to others. This creature dances around the place, making unfunny jokes which only he finds amusing and speaks in a high-pitched voice. Many of the Z-fighters underestimate Buu because of his actions. The evil Dabura makes this mistake and attacks Buu and in this conflict we begin to understand the creature's powers. Buu has amazing regenerative capabilities. Any damage done to his body can be almost instantly repaired. Much faster than Cell's and 10x faster than Piccolo's. When a hole is blown in Buu's stomach it is repaired quickly and it seems nothing ever happened to him. Dabura is dispatched quickly with Buu's favourite technique, a beam of pink energy that shoots out of his head tentacle. This beam has the ability to convert anything it touches into anything Buu wants, usually food. Dabura is turned into a cookie and gobbled up.

Vegeta finally makes his way to the location of Buu and Babidi's ship but his entrance does not go unnoticed. He completely destroys Babidi's ship. Buu goes up against Vegeta and manages to trounce his opponent. Vegeta comes to the conclusion that he must do everything he can to safeguard his family and adoptive home. Realizing that Trunks is nearby, he hugs his son for a final goodbye and knocks out both him and Goten as they try to help. Piccolo and Krillin fly them away and Vegeta commits suicide in a massive blast that blows Buu to pieces. Despite this sacrifice, Buu simply reforms.

Bulma and the other supporting characters go around collecting the Dragon Balls. They summon Shenron and make the first wish that everyone who died since the morning of the World Martial Arts Tournament can come back to life. All the people killed by Majin Vegeta and Kibito come back to life. Goku teleports there and stops them from making the next wish, and Shenron goes away for 6 months instead of a whole year. He teleports them all to Kami's lookout.

Kai has wandered around trying to find Gohan, and the wished-back Kibito finds both and heals them. Kai then teleports them all to his own planet. The first mortal to actually step foot on the Kai planet, Gohan begins training with the Z-Sword after pulling it from the stone.

Goku subsequently begins to teach the boys Goten and Trunks how to do the Fusion Dance. Goku has learned this technique from the Metamori, during the seven years after Cell's defeat in the Other World. They will take a long time to learn this, more time than Goku has. Since Goku is pressed for time, he ends up showing Piccolo the dance so that he can continue the training. Meanwhile, Babidi desperately threatens to return Buu to his ball unless Buu complies with his orders. Babidi is on a mission to find Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks because of their earlier interference. To help speed this process, Babidi telepathically communicates with the people of Earth, forcing them to watch Majin Buu as he attacks a city. Buu converts the entire population into jawbreakers which he sucks up in one mighty gasp and eats. He then levels the city much to Babidi's delight. The next city suffers the same fate, as he turns the population into chocolate bars.

In order to buy time for Trunks to get the Dragon radar, Goku approaches Fat Buu and Babidi, and starts giving them a show of his strength. He figures this will be enough to impress Babidi, stall him, and keep Buu occupied, also stalling him. Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, very easily, and then a Super Saiyan 2, and finally after a drawn-out show, transforms into the long haired Super Saiyan 3. Babidi doesn't seem too impressed with the first two forms since he has already witnessed them in Vegeta and Gohan, but the third one has a different effect. This still doesn't give Goten and Trunks enough time, so Goku decides to battle against Fat Buu. The battle starts off at a quick pace and many people around the Earth can feel the energy flow. Goku once again holds back his efforts, because he knows that it isn't his job to save the Earth anymore. Even still, Goku is obviously more than Fat Buu can handle. After a while, Goku feels that enough time has passed and decides to high tail it out of there. Goku thus succeeds in giving Goten and Trunks the sufficient time for their training.

Fat Buu grows tired of Babidi and, through simple trickery, is able to dispose of the wizard by punching his head off. In between bouts of mass destruction and his childish-like acts, Fat Buu builds a house and meets Hercule (Mr. Satan).

The Super Saiyan 3 transformation has decreased Goku's time on Earth, so when he arrives at the lookout, it is already too late. He must go back to the Other World. Piccolo continues teaching the boys the fusion dance and, after one mishap where they fail miserably, they successfully fuse and fly off to fight Buu, who still proves stronger.

In Other World, Goku finds Gohan alive and, during training, the Z-Sword breaks. Rou Dai Kaioshin (Old Kai) comes out and begins to unlock Gohan's inner powers, called the "Mystic" powers.

Mr. Satan lies about destroying Cell several years ago and now that the Earth is in danger again, the people turn to him for help. Arriving at Buu's house, Mr. Satan befriends the pink monster and even convinces him to give up killing. Buu adopts a puppy called 'Bee' and things seem to be going well. Then, two men arrive and shoot the puppy along with Mr. Satan. While Buu heals both, the strain of keeping his promise and his desire for revenge cause him to split into two people, Good Buu and Evil Buu. Evil Buu proves too much for Good Buu and eventually absorbs him, creating an entirely new and much more powerful Buu.Continues ... Fusion Saga.
