QUICK TAKES
rengoku_radiance
wait did I actually just tear up at Mr Satan ripping up that photo of himself because he realized Buu just needs a buddy and he is finally acting like a decent guy for once
jadeite_377
seeing Buu act like a big kid instead of a monster is so weird but it actually works and those two are easily the best part of the show right now
rimuru_ruler_151
You have to laugh at Hercule trying to act tough while being a complete maid for Buu because he is so scared of getting turned into chocolate
genos_guardian_118
The dynamic between a lying fraud and a magical child who can blow up the moon is the most entertaining part of this entire arc so far
tigers_eye
I actually love how Hercule is just feeding Buu and they are becoming best friends while everyone else is terrified and it makes me laugh so hard
ryuk_reaper_113
Buu not even knowing he was supposed to be evil until Mr Satan showed him kindness is such a weirdly wholesome twist for a dragon ball villain
yokai_yuki_27
I expected another massive fight but instead we got Hercule trying to talk his way out of death and accidentally becoming a positive role model for an all powerful pink blob, it feels like Buu just needed a friend and some snacks to stop being a menace and seeing them together in the house is the highlight of the season
nicol_ascart_166
This show usually is just about who punches harder, but seeing them bond over candy and a puppy is a really nice change of pace
vesper098
I keep thinking about how Hercule tried to poison him but failed and ended up as a personal chef because Buu just wants sweets and attention
zangetsu_zen
It was so funny when Mr Satan gave Majin Buu a bath because this monster is literally just a toddler with too much power
mekurabe_mage
I can't believe Hercule just gave him chocolate and it worked better than any energy blast and now they are basically best friends
eri_359
That evil grey Buu coming out of the steam looked like a total nightmare and it is wild how much scarier he is than the fat version
clemont_340
The puppy being okay after Buu healed it a second time was the only thing that stopped this episode from being totally depressing after those gunmen showed up
chad_champion_494
Watching Satan go from trying to blow up Buu with a game console to actually cooking him dinner and washing his back was such a weird transition
yuzuriha_yarn
Those two guys with the sniper rifle are actually the worst people in the entire show for shooting a defenseless puppy and a guy like Satan who was just trying to be a hero, and seeing Buu lose his mind and split into that evil version was the most intense thing I have seen in this arc so far
oni_omega
Goten and Trunks are back to training because that Gotenks fusion earlier was way too cocky, and it is good they are actually taking it seriously now
tulip
Buu promising not to kill anyone else because of his friendship with Satan was a massive turn for his character and it feels earned after their weird bonding
ashiaraiyashiki
It was so funny watching Satan try to poison Buu and I just loved how Buu actually liked the chocolate and wanted to be friends
saitama_smasher
That steam coming out of Buu after he got angry about the dog and Satan being shot was terrifying and that skinny grey version looks way creepier
nameless_neet
That scene where Buu healed the little dog instead of eating it was actually pretty touching and it makes those shooters look like the real monsters here
EPISODE CONTEXT
At episode 252 of 291, this falls in the latter stretch of the Buu Saga, where the battle against Majin Buu has reshaped alliances and forced characters into extraordinary circumstances. Previous episodes have pushed Earth's defenders to their limits, and this installment capitalizes on that desperation by forging bonds between characters who would never otherwise interact. It sets the stage for the saga's climactic developments, where these newly formed connections will prove essential to the final confrontation.
