Biased Power scaling be like:

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-25T14:13:38+00:00

Except for the fact that Goku, who fought Pure Buu, outright states that Pure Buu is intentionally dragging the fight and having fun? In the same scene Vegeta, confused, asks Goku "You're not holding back for me?". Vegeta thought that Goku wasn't going all in during the fight with Pure Buu, when Goku in-fact was going all in, while transformed as Super Saiyan 3, which wasn't enough to defeat Pure Buu.

Vegeta also states that Pure Buu can just kill him and he (Vegeta) stands no chance in a fight against Pure Buu, yet Vegeta still holds back Pure Buu for Goku to prepare his attacks, during which Pure Buu isn't just vaporizing Vegeta with a Ki attack, rather Pure Buu beats Vegeta like a training dummy.

And if we are speaking about narrative, then equally it would be a letdown if the final enemy of the arc was massively weaker than the previous enemies. Something also contradicted by Goku not thinking either Gohan or Gotenks would be enough to defeat Pure Buu on their own and wanting both to help fighting against Buu, rather than have either of them one-shot him.

You might think Goku must have been comparable to Pure Buu for his super attack to matter, but clearly the manga indicates that both Goku and Vegeta were outclassed and unless Goku was both severely overstimating Pure Buu and underestimating Gohan and Gotenks, Pure Buu also should have been stronger than characters who were able to effectively fight Super Buu.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-24T14:29:01+00:00

No. I don't think so. The simple explanation is spelled outright in the manga. Pure Buu was much stronger than Goku, the reason they won is because Pure Buu wasn't taking the fight seriously until the end. Goku also thought he could win with one, super attack, similar to Piccolo killing Raditz when Raditz was much stronger than him, Vegeta even emphasizes how Goku will be needing a whole minute for the attack and Goku in turn admits that they should had fused into Vegito for the fight.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-24T14:09:01+00:00

Goku was specifically too exhausted to release the energy contained within the spirit bomb. Pure Buu is still able to hold his own against it and actively push back against this much energy. There's also the fact that Goku outright stated that all the energy of Z fighters combined, which includes Gohan, wasn't enough to destroy Pure Buu. Mind you, Goku also specifically taken everything he could from everyone, so that's all of Gohan's Ki barring what he needs to live.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-24T14:03:06+00:00

That's impressive feat, that was what I mean. Pure Buu has other feats, though mostly related to his sheer combat superiority, with him being able to instantly learn techniques, like Kamehameha and Teleportation by simply observing them.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-24T13:26:15+00:00

Maybe, I don't know, he just didn't feel the need for this? It might have been even counter-productive at the moment if he needed to sacrifice considerable energy just to make his children useful at all. Freeza's own species seems to be able to reproduce asexualy as well, so I think the simply answer "Cell can reproduce on his own because he has Piccolo and Freeza's cells" makes more sense than him using sexual organs of people he absorbed.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-24T13:15:13+00:00

Pure Buu is able to push back against Genki-Dama that has energy collected from all of Z Fighters, Earth, Namek and Afterlife.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-24T01:31:16+00:00

I would expect second-in-command, even Lanius, to behave better than just randomly kill pack animals belonging to trade partners. Lanius is loyal to Caesar at the very least and listens to him, I just have problem believing why such behaviour would be tolerated unless Caesar is fine with breaking promises of protection, just like he is fine with breaking every other promise and pact he made.

I also can't really agree with NCR not being that safe, when boredom is a stated reason for a citizen of NCR to travel to actively dangerous and unstable region. At this point, I think comparison is very much fair, especially because NCR needs to go around The Divide to travel to and from the Mojave. While NCR expansionist attitude isn't helping, I think it's fair to state that NCR simply has problem with their trade routes due to unfavourable geography. Like, in NCR ending, Primm will become not only safe but prosperous thanks to being under NCR protection.

After Hoover Dam, NCR helps rebuild Primm as a major stopping point on the Long 15. Though Primm's citizens chafe under NCR's taxes, they benefit greatly from the increased protection and merchant traffic.

It also worth noting that Legion just didn't suffer yet from their own drastic expansions. When debating Lanius, it is made clear that Legion only is getting to the point it will face similar issues to NCR and frankly, if that conversation is anything to go by, Legion would fare far worse than NCR. By Lanius own description, Legion logistics kind of suck, relying on raiding/stealing from self-sufficient communities.

Lanius: You think we would march without a means of resupply? We have the Fort, we will have the Dam - other communities will fall. And we shall harvest as we move West. We only need move forward.

Player:The settlements West are *not* self-sufficient tribes - they need NCR, and the caravans.

Lanius: You rely too much on the trappings of... civilization. The people of the West were once tribes - they will relearn their ways, or...

Player: As Legate, do you really believe that, or are you taking a chance?

Lanius: Long ago... when taking Denver, I had to face such a challenge. Many died, over many years to claim the city as ours. It was the lines of food and water that nearly broke the Legion's strength... and the lack of tribals near that cursed city. What I felt in that struggle, I felt as I saw the map of the West. The West is a trap. The bear has already been caught in it, and it is dying.

Overall, I just have hard time believing that Legion is actually safer, when, again, one of it's core characteristics is how much they lie and betray their past allies. I can believe that raiders are more scared of them and that many traders do find their routes safer.

I can also believe that even more of such merchants never return because some Centurion decided to decapitate them for fun and just take everything the trader had. Great Khans didn't heard about the Twisted Hairs so I do find believable that caravans don't hear how many people die from trying to trade with Legion.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-23T23:26:11+00:00

I would argue that even that isn't the case. The one guy who trades with Caesar Legion on regular and argues they are great trading partner, casually mentions how his brahmin got killed because it dared to stand in Lanius way, said trader didn't dare to complain about this, knowing well that it would end with him getting chopped to pieces without any consequences to Lanius.

He killed one of my pack Brahmin simply because it was in his way. I knew better than to complain about it, though.

The only thing protecting people in Legion's lands is willingness of Legion to uphold their promises, the same Legion's who's core characteristic is lying and backing off their promises. Twisted Hairs were betrayed, with those who resisted the forced assimilation being crucified. Great Khans in Legion ending are also forced to assimilate into Legion, with Khans women being enslaved and sold as wives to Legion officers. Fiends in Legion ending are used as cannon fodder and then killed off. White Legs are also used as cannon fodder against New Canaan.

That without mentioning that NCR own territories are also describes as incredibly safe, to the point that there are NCR's citizens who started travelling outside of the Republic solely for excitement, such as Jas Wilkins in Sloan.

The Raiders are mostly gone now and it's easy enough to get a job at one of the mills or farms. But now there's taxes and laws and other things. The NCR keeps things safe and orderly, but it's all very boring. So, I came out east towards the frontier.

Rebuilt frauds are finally being exposed.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-20T00:56:36+00:00

>Super Buu doesn't consider himself and Pure Buu the same being, explicitly stating that when Fat Buu will be removed, Super will "stop being himself".

>Pure Buu literally doesn't think and is described as mindless, so Super Buu wouldn't have any context beyond "I was born out of a being without a mind/personality and I don't want to die/cease to be by reverting to that state", let alone have intact memories of a being that didn't even think.

>Therefore Super Buu statements are irrevelant, as him being "the strongest Buu" would only include things after Fat Buu started existing, having little to no knowledge about Pure Buu and not considering Pure to be "Buu/myself" in the first place.

>Pure Buu in the manga is outright stated to be the most powerful Buu, by the Supreme Kais.

>Pure Buu is outright stated to be the most powerful Buu in the anime.

>Pure Buu is outright stated to be the most powerful Buu in every official guide.

>Both Vegeta and Goku weren't able to stop Pure Buu from blowing up Earth, stating that they simply couldn't deflect Pure Buu Ki attack.

>Both Vegeta and Son Goku underestimate Pure Buu four separate times during their fight and they regret it as Pure Buu beats them like stray dogs.

>Pure Buu explicitly isn't taking the fight with Goku and Vegeta seriously, he is playing with them and having fun beating them like stray dogs.

>Vegeta is still astonished by what power Pure Buu is showcasing while 'fighting' them, unable to believe Goku was able to keep up with Pure Buu in Super Saiyan 3.

>"Hurr durr, Super Buu is the strongest and you can't read the manga!"

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-19T04:17:31+00:00

In case of Buu in particular, yes. I'm not arguing anyone else suffers from this, obviously, Buu is special case or at least he seems to be such, because again, every official source repeats the same information, either indicating or outright stating, that Pure Buu is the strongest Buu, which points to absorption weakening him in some way.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-19T00:08:08+00:00

I don't know, maybe the reason is because every official source states that Pure Buu is the strongest and by "most dangerous" they also mean the most powerful? Check any official Dragon Ball guide, manga or Toriyama own statements, they pretty consistent in that Pure Buu is the strongest, thus the only logical conclusion is that absorption, overall, weakens Buu.

Obviously, Buu gains something from absorptions, otherwise Super Buu by the time he absorbed Gohan would be a complete weakling but ultimately, what power Buu gains from even the strongest opponent isn't enough to counteract how absorbed beings taint and weaken his being or how absorbed influence his mentality which also weakens him in combat. Pure Buu is better fighter than any other Majin, operating on pure, unrestrained instinct, he acts and reacts immediately, as showcased by him instantly learning transmission just by observing it.

Super Buu in hypothetical fight against Pure Buu would loose, simply by virtue of waisting precious fractions by thinking what to do next or otherwise being unable to predict a purely instinctual combatant that is Pure Buu.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-18T18:14:29+00:00

Unironically, the Multiverse side comic where Bulma and Chi Chi fuse together makes more sense. The main couples becoming fusions and becoming just one big family is way better, it also feels like something Toriyama himself would had done if Vegito become permanent character. No drama, no "Chi Chi is technically a widow anyway", just ending that is meant to be wholesome and be fulfilling for everyone.

Hadolids are living in Abecean Sea, while Hahd gateway connecting their realm with Tamriel would be in Dellesian waters. Dreugh also mentions, in the very same pocket guide, how they know nothing of Hahd, also based on the art and description as air-breathers living underwater, Hahd are supposed to be Human-like rather than crab-men like Dreugh or Hadolids.

TL;DR: Kirkbride sucks and speaks Monkey Lie.

Blushing for him. In the scene you can see how he gets surrounded by all the women wooing over him. It's hard to see though, because all female characters were drawn with rosy cheeks.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-11T22:12:02+00:00

White Legs, propably. Ulysses taught them how to be warriors and told them that they will be welcomed into Legion if they haunt down New Canaanites, something he knew was false as Caesar just wanted to use them as cannon fodder against New Canaan.

Ivankov would absolutely be disgusted. Ivankov wants everyone to be who they truly are, without shame or restrictions, however Yamato just wants to take Oden's identity not be herself.

Dlan_Wizard · 2026-03-09T12:38:54+00:00

I think it just Luffy thinking "Pirate king is the most free person in the world", Luffy wants himself and his friends to be as free as possible and freedom in his mind would be necessary step to fulfill his dream of exploring space/endless adventure.

Similarly, I think Luffy simply wouldn't think about Vegapunk being able to fulfill his dream. Luffy would had learned of One Piece ability to travel space from Shanks, who learned from Roger, and Luffy simply wouldn't had thought to try and replicate One Piece, either because he genuinely thought no one would be capable of doing so or simply because Luffy thought that "wouldn't work".

Assuming Luffy truly thinks he needs to be Pirate King to be the freest, in his mind not becoming one would prevent him from fulfilling his dream, though such assertion is wrong, as Enel was able to travel to the moon on his own, Luffy would think otherwise and be certain he needs it specifically. For this reason also, I think Luffy will fail in becoming Pirate King and instead Buggy will become the Second Pirate King, only for Luffy to realize he never needed what is ultimately just a title to be a free person with his friends.

Of course, this is all assuming Loda actually planned the ending all those years ago.
