Back in the days of Dragon Ball, Mr. Popo warned Goku that no matter how strong he gets, there will always be someone stronger. Flying high after his victory over Piccolo, Goku used this statement as a motivator to become even stronger in order to meet the next challenge. Dragon Ball Z took this statement to h🎶eart when it introduced all sorts of enemies, with each new threat one proving to be far more powerful than th๊e one that came before it. When Raditz showed up, he was the most powerful enemy anyone had ever faced.

However, it turned out he was nothing compared to Vegeta and Nappa. After the Saiyans were defeated, we learned that Frieza’s army complete🌳ly outclassed them. Then, Frieza himself was unstoppable until the Androids were introduced. Cell then became the ultimate villain, but it wasn’t long before w♒e learned that Majin Buu was even stronger.

It’s easy to think Buu was just the next progression in a long line of powerful bad guys, but there is evidence that maybe Dragon Ball Z went a little too far with this one. Over the course of the Buu Saga, we learn that he is more powerful than the Supreme Kais, able to defeat Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks, ♐and can outmaneuver Mystic Gohan. Every time a Z Fighter proved to be powerful e🌳nough to maybe take him out once and for all, he took on some new form, gain some kind of new power, and managed to wriggle out of defeat.

In the end, it felt like maybe Majin Buu was actu🅷ally too powerful to be defeated, and perhaps the good💙 guys only won with a little bit of luck.

25 Eliminate All Weaജkꦰnesses

Majin Buu is a unique villain in the Dragon Ball Z series because while the likes of Frieza and Cell were purely evil, he still had a piece of goodness inside him. Eons ago, Buu was shown to have absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai, but the result created a weaker and more docile version of himself. After transforming into Fat Buu, Bibidi was able to seal him away once and for all, where ཧhe would remain until the modern day. When he finally reemerged, it was clear that he was powerful and dangerous, but Buu also had an innocence about him that was unbecoming of the storyline’s ultimate villain.

What was Buu to do? Why, cut out the impurities, of course.

While everyone is busy trying to fuse with each other to be able to match Buu’s strength, he’s over here using fission to separate himself from his weakest parts. Seeing that the goodness of the Grand Supreme Kai could not be overcome, the evil in Majin Buu released itself into the physical form that became Evil Buu. Once the evil side absorbed Good Buu, he became Super Buu, a creature that was dominated by evil.ཧ He also managed to grow significantly in strength, proving himself too much for many of the Z Fighters.

24 Don’t Tell Him What To Do ꧟

According to the Dragon Ball franchise, it’s never a good idea for a weaker character to tell a stronger character what to do. Paragus ultimately paid the price against Broly when he tried to control his son. Dr. Gero was taken out by Android 17 when he tried to order his own creations around. Majin Buu is initially released by the evil doppelganger of Bibidi known as B🐼abidi. The wizard used his power to control the likes of Dabura and Vegeta to do his bidding, but once Buu entered the picture, things became a little more than the pint-sized villain could handle.

Despite Fat Buu’s docile nature, he also had an incredibly mean streak abo𓆏ut him, evidenced by the delight he took in eliminating innocent people around him. While Bibidi🉐 clearly had an agenda to use his minions to take power in the universe, Buu had his own desires that he wished to see fulfilled. Eventually having Bibidi tell him what to do no longer proved to be fun, and he quickly eliminated his would-be master. At that point, Buu had overthrown his controller and now there was no one in his way of unleashing indiscriminate destruction across the universe. Once Bibidi was gone, the kid gloves came off.

23 Total Body Control 🌞 ♚

Many characters from the Dragon Ball universe can change their size and shape. Piccolo can extend his arms, Saiyans can transform into giant apes, but Majin Buu has complete control over his body. That means he can use his ability in order to avoid even the most dangerous attacks. When Baby attacks Earth in Dragon Ball GT, he shows the ability to infect a🅠nd possess victims by implanting a seed within their bodies. Baby manages to take contro🌊l of Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Vegeta, but Buu is able to avoid this seed by moving his body to avoid it taking hold.

His ability to manipulate his body also makes him an extra threat during his attack on Earth in Dragon Ball Z. Using his shapeshifting abilities, Buu is able to alter his appearance at times and can liquify himself, which he uses to attack his victims from the inside. He can also stretch his body to add a🐷n extra threat that his opponent never saw coming. In his battle with the Z Fighters, Super Buu proves to be able to wrap his entire body around his enemy and squeeze them. The character’s tentacle can also stretch in order to become something of a whip or even a rope to strangle his opponent. It is these kinds of physical attacks that make him a threat at all times.

22 ꧂ The Gods Don't Stand A Chance

Majin B𝔍uu proves to be powerful enough to defeat the absolute best of the best in battle, including most of the Z Fighters. He annihilates everyone on the Lookout, defeats Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks, and overcomes a souped-up Mystic Go🐷han. If you’re thinking that his power levels are a little too out of control, you have to remember that Kid Buu was able to defeat even the gods many years ago. In a flashback scene during the Majin Buu Saga, we learn just how powerful and dangerous Buu is because he possesses the ability to outclass those who are supposed to be the strongest in the universe.

Thousands of years ago, Bibidi unleashed Buu on the Sacred World of the Kais in order to destroy those who watch over the universe.

The monster manages to eliminate both West Supreme Kai and North Supreme K🌞ai in quick order. He then manages to defeat and absorb South Supreme Kai, the strongest among them. Buu also managed𝔍 to absorb Grand Supreme Kai, though thanks to his influence, Shin was ultimately spared from attack as well. It was clear that Majin Buu was as close to unstoppable as you can get. The fact that Goku was actually able to defeat him was unexpected but a very welcomed relief.

21 🔜 Bad Controls Eve𓆉rything Around Him

Many of the biggest villains in the Dragon Ball franchise often show that they have a small portion of goodness within them. Tien Shinhan proves that he’s not as much of a bad guy as he made himself out to be. Picc𝄹olo turns over a new leaf after building a bond with Gohan. Vegeta eventually redeems himself after all the atrocities he has committed. Even Android 17 and 18 turn out to be not so bad in the end. Majin Buu takes this to a whole new level by literally splitting himself into a good entity and a bad entity.

Unfortunately for the Z Fighters, Buu’s evil side proves to be far more powerful than his good side. When the two split from each other, it is Evil Buu who overpowers Good Buu, absorbs him and creates the more powerful Super Buu. This more powerful villain takes out most of the Z Fighters, the entire population of Earth, and very nearly beat everyone available to stop him. When Goku and Vegeta are able to disconnect Good Buu from Super Buu’s body, they create the maniacal Kid Buu.🧔 This version of the character is so out of control that he actually blows up the Earth at one point in the battle. The evil of Buu very nearly eliminates everyone.

20 🐬 Eꦉveryone Has To Deal With His Rage

Being so evil that you annihilate an entire race of people is not exactly an original display in the Dragon Ball universe. After all, Frieza famously blew up the Saiyan home planet and annihilated almost the entire race as a result. Even the Saiyans themselves managed to wipe out the Tuffle race, as explored in Dragon Ball GT. Not to be outdone, Super Buu managed t🐲o commit horrendous acts of his🌳 own, but he did it in his own special way.

By the end of his attack, the human race was just about extinct.

I🦹nside of simply blowing up the planet to make it easy for himself (he does that later), Super Buu actually takes the time to systematically target each and every living being on Earth before unleashing his Human Extinction Attack and eliminating them all. Such an ability doesn’t just show off his extreme power, but also the immense level of evil burning inside his body. If Goku was not able to stop him, Buu would have traveled the universe, wiping out every sign of life just for the f🦋un of it. Judging by the power of this attack, no one would be able to see it coming.

19 ♑ The Power Of Corruption

According to the storyline in Dragon Ball FighterZ, 🍌Dr. Gero didn’t just stop collecting genetic material with Cell. He created another being known as Android 21 by collecting the cells of the Z Fighters, Frieza, Cell, and even Majin Buu. While all these beings made her one of the most powerful fighters in the universe, the presence of Buu’s evil influence turned her into a dangerous monster. Much like Buu before her, Android 21 had a good side and a bad side. When Android 21 unleashed her true form, she became an uncontrollable destructive monster, just like her genetic donor was before her.

The evil personality used Dr. Gero’s lab to create clones of some of the more prominent characters in the Dragon Ball universe. These mindless clones were used to fight the good guys, though their ultima🐎te purpose was to serve as a food source for Android 21. Ultimately, the evi🌠l side proved to be so powerful and dangerous that she had to be destroyed once and for all in an epic showdown. Android 21’s intelligence and leadership skills gave her the potential to be a very vital member of Earth’s society, however, like all of Dr. Gero’s creations, she was created to do evil. The influence of Majin Buu simply made her even more dangerous and unpredictable than even Gero could have expected.

18 The Universe Was Spooked By Him ♈

Most of the bad guys in the Dragon Ball universe are well known threats to the public. They attack innocent people, threaten the world, and must be stopped to end their ꦉreign of terror. Majin Buu isn’t just some demonic villain that no one has ever heard of before. Existing since time immemorial, Buu was well known across the cosmos as a dangerous being of destruction. His reign of terror ♎over the universe was split between long periods of hibernation, turning his existence into a legend.

However, not everyone forgot about the very real threat he represented, even if those people were in high places of power.

Back when King Cold was alive and in control of a good portion of the known universe, he recognized the beings who were threats to his empire. He warned his son Frieza to stay clear of two powerful entities. One was Beerus, the God of Destruction, who had the power to snuff out their entire empire on a whim, if he was inclined to do so. The only other being who was considered too dangerous to mess with Majin Buu. After Frieza was brought back to life in Resurrection F, hearing that Goku was now powerful♏ enough to take out Buu is what motivated him to train in order to take down his rival once and for all. It’s hard to find something the emperor of the universe is afraid of, but Majin Buu’s power levels got him there.

17 Welcome To 🥃The Kamehameha Club 🌜

The Kamehameha Wave is the first energy attack introduced in the Dragon Ball franchise. It is the creation of Master Roshi, and only those who have studied to harness their ki for years are said to be capable of forming it. That all changes when a young Goku sees Roshi use the technique, and is seemingly able to recreate it with very little effort. It is this feat that convinces Master Roshi to train Goku in the first place. The same thing happens in the Majin Buu Saga whe🐷n Innocent Buu is aℱble to pull off the Kamehameha of his own, just by copying Goku. At this point, we all should have known that trouble was coming.

Buu isn’t the only villain to use the Kamehameha Wave for evil, since Cell was able to use the technique. While Cell had the ability thanks to having Goku’s genetic material, Buu is able to pull it off simply by copying what he sees. After using the attack against Super Saiyan Goku 3, he pulls it off again as Super Buu and Kid Buu, unleashing what is known as a Super Kamehameha as well. Even after the dust settles, the evil side of Buu is vanquished, and Mr. Buu lives on Earth, he continues to use the Kamehameha as part of his repertoire of energy attacks. The crazy thing is he’s💫 completely self-taught.

16 🌄 Complete Destruction Of The Earth

It doesn’t take much to destroy a planet in the Dragon Ball universe because it apparently happens all the time. Frieza has done it multiple times to the point where it’s surprising when he doesn’t destroy an entire world. He blew up Planet Vegeta back in the day, Planet Namek during his fight against Goku, and even managed to destroy Earth in Dragon Ball Super, but that got reversed by Whis. The only villain who managed to legitimately blow up the Earthཧ was Kid Buu, who used his Planet Burst technique to eliminate the entire Earth.

During his battle with Goku and Vegeta, he unleashes an incredibly powerful technique that the anime describes as being strong enough to destroy the Earth 10 times over. The attack can absorb the energy of other attacks, making it even stronger and making it something of an evil version of the Spirit Bomb. When Kid Buu 🤪unleashes the attack, Goku and Vegeta only have seconds to escape the Earth’s destruction,ও but they are forced to leave some of their friends and family behind. The only way to bring the Earth back was to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to wish it all back after Kid Buu had finally been defeated.
