Dragon Ball Z - The Majin Buu Saga Continues

Guide Rating -  

If you've been following the Dragon Ball Z sagas (and who hasn't?), then you know the Z-fighters are facing their most diabolical foe yet:  Majin Buu.  And in FUNimation's recent release, Kid Buu: Regression, we see the pink villian morph once again.  This time he changes into Kid Buu, his most evil form of all.

Story:

Before they leave Buu's body, Goku and Vegeta free all of Buu's victims, including the larger (and nicer) Buu absorbed in a previous battle.  But instead of transforming into a weaker adversary, Buu he changes into his original form -- smaller but much stronger than anything the Z-fighters had imagined.

In this most evil form, Buu embarks on a mission of destruction, with Earth as his first target.  After searching (and destroying) most of the Universe, Goku and Vegeta raise their power levels to draw him away from the Great Kai Planet and into the ultimate DBZ battle.

History:

Originally released in the 1980's in Japan, Dragon Ball Z is a good guy versus bad guy story in its classic form.  Action, a little romance and some off-the-wall humor make this series one of the top Anime titles watched in the States today.  Goku, Gohan and the rest of the Z-fighters protect the Earth from villain after villain with their ever-growing power and strength.  This power doesn't come from magic, but rather concentrates the natural energy that surrounds and binds the Universe (who says Anime isn't deep?).  And while we all know that the Z-fighters will eventually triumph, it is not without some hardships along the way.  As the villains get tougher (and boy, do they ever!), the casualty rate grows.  Not to fear, though.  Lives can be restored through Shenron, a mystical dragon created by the people of Namek and summoned by collecting the seven dragon balls hidden around the world.  

This video is one of the first of the Kid Buu series, the last of the Dragon Ball Z episodes.  Once completed, you can continue the adventure with Dragon Ball GT (coming to the States later this year!)

Basics:

Kid Buu: Regression, VHS & DVD (3 episodes: 261, 262 & 263)
