With the more and more deadly foes taken on by the Z - Fighters throughout the progression of the serial , it only makes sense that the last baddie ofDragon Ball Zwould surpass their predecessors – and this baddie - in - question does n’t disappoint asBuu ’s deadly attack makesFriezaandCelllook pathetic .

When Majin Buu made his debut inDragon Ball Z , he was forthwith assume for a routine of reasons . First and foremost , no other scoundrel had been build up - up the path he was . cellphone came out of nowhere aright in the center of theZ - Fighters ’ conflict with the Androids , so there was no real anticipation with him – and while Frieza ’s repute emphatically preceded him , it was n’t close to the level of dread bring about by Buu ’s awakening . Leading up to Buu ’s rebirth , Babidi was possess people ( including Vegeta ) and push them to steal combatant ’ energy either during a engagement or with a especial equipment for rouse Majin Buu . Not only that , but Buu ’s presence on Earth sparked the interference of a elysian being , the Supreme Kai , which alone should be enough to tell anyone how serious a threat Majin Buu is .

InDragon Ballchapter 487 by Akira Toriyama , Majin Buu fly to the Lookout to fight the most powerful warrior on the planet : Gotenks . At this dot in the series , bothGoku and Vegeta are deadand Gohan is presumed dead . This mean that the last battler on Earth who have even a slender hazard at beating Buu are Goten and Trunks – and even then , they have to be fused . When Buu arrived to struggle them , Piccolo fit the villain and tried to buy the child some extra time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to perfect their proficiency . In doing so , Piccolo suggest that Buu finish off killing every soul on the face of the planet before coming back and fighting Gotenks . Piccolo bed that once Buu was shoot down , he and the Z - Fighters could just like for everyone to do back to life , and the forcible deed of Buu flying away to kill them would give Goten and Trunks plenty of time to perfect the Fusion Dance and master the form . Except , that ’s not what Buu did .

Buu Killed Everyone on Earth with a Single Blast

When Piccolo suggested that Buu should kill everyone on Earth before fight Gotenks , Buu agree – then he raised his hired hand , institutionalise an attack , and film an vim gust into the sky before it broke apart into millions of dissimilar beams of energy , each one with a designated prey . Buu cope to kill everyone on Earth , personally , with a single attempt . While aplanet - kill attack is nothing new to Frieza – and Cell has been known to have the capability to decimate an full world with a single blast – they could n’t dream of doing what Buu did in this chapter . Buu did n’t just destroy a planet , he targeted everyone on that planet and killed them all with one scene . Buu ’s method eliminates the possibility of survivor ( unless he wished for there to be some ) whereas Goku is exist proof that the process of blow up a whole major planet does n’t ensure that everyone is going to pop off . Goku alone hold up two disjoined world - ending event that were lend about by Frieza : the first was Planet Vegeta and the 2d was Planet Namek . When Buu unleashed his attack on Earth , however , there was n’t a person who endure that was n’t supposed to – admit Mr. Satan and a few choice Z - Fighters .

So , whileBuuis clear potent than both Cell and Frieza ( of theDragon Ball Zage ) , he made that fact even clear with a individual attack – and in doing so , madeFriezaandCelllook utterly patheticby comparison .
