Dragon Ball Z It is a saga that has marked entire generations of otakus and fans. Years have passed since the closure of this stage of the anime and we are already well into the new arcs of the Super era. But the truth is that that story that we lived in the 90s continues to haunt us to this day.
We have seen how more than one conceptual artist has imagined with the support of Artificial Intelligence platforms what a film adaptation of the saga would look like. Cellstarring Hollywood actors.
But it is also true that the Majin Buu arc has also become a matter of fixation for many fans and artists. Here is the perfect example of the whole series of illustrations made by the designer hsuan_diamond, who has a famous series of images where he imagines what the resulting fusion of this villain devouring characters of all caliber would be like.
From Naruto’s Kakashi to his own john wick. This range of portraits is completely impressive for the verisimilitude and balance of attributes of each mix. And that crucial moment of the Buu arc in the anime is precisely the moment of analysis that concerns us today.
The point at which Goku made a mistake that ended up giving rise to the end of that saga that we all know. But the reality is that everything could have been less complicated.
Goku almost ruined the end of Dragon Ball Z in the Majin Buu saga and everything could be solved much easier
One of the most ancient debates on the final arc of Dragon Ball Z resides in the name of its main villain. In Latin America we know it as majin buualthough in practically any other western latitude the name to identify it is that of Majin Boo.
For practical purposes we will use the nickname for our Hispanic region. Although, for many years now, a too obvious situation has been raised in forums of all kinds: Goku committed a serious mistake by saving Dendé and Mr. Satan instead of Gohan and the others.
In forums like Game FAQs It is possible to find conversations or debates that extend throughout pages and pages where a good part of the users, the virtual majority, agree that Goku was wrong to rescue these two characters.
To a large extent due to triangulating the succession of the duels, the order of each fight and their results, it could be concluded that Gohan was the strongest of all at the time he was not rescued and could have easily eliminated Kid Buu.
If so, we would not have seen all the other massacre that we witnessed in the final stretch of this saga and it would have been much more direct and healthy for everyone.
But hey, Goku hasn’t always been the brightest tactician.
