You have to respect how Pan just absolutely destroyed that giant guy without breaking a sweat and seeing Gohan and Videl cheering for her in the stands was the cutest thing

Finding out that Uub is just Buu spelled backwards is the most Toriyama thing ever and it actually makes a lot of sense why Goku is so obsessed with fighting him

monk_maz_koshia_296

I really can't believe Goku asked Buu to cheat on the brackets just so he could fight a little kid but seeing him that excited for a new rival made me smile

That character Otokosuki was acting really weird around the boys, and those scenes felt totally unnecessary when everyone else was focused on the big fights.

Vegeta has absolutely no time for people like Knock and watching him just blast that guy through a door before the match even started was such a classic Vegeta moment

kuchisake_onna_52

It makes me kind of sad seeing everyone grown up with kids of their own but the way the show is setting up Uub as the next big thing feels right

The way the floor started cracking and that massive energy aura appeared when Uub finally got angry at Goku for insulting his village was such a great way to end it

I think it is so cool that Goku's wish for a good version of Buu actually came true after all these years, and King Yemma really came through for him. Seeing Goku act like a total jerk just to get Uub to stop being scared and show his real power was such a weird but effective move for his character.
