QUICK TAKES
rickert_the_smith
Piccolo really suggested that Buu should go kill people to buy some time and that shows how truly messed up things have become when a hero has to sacrifice the world for a chance
haruka_tenoh
Seeing all those pink blasts rain down and wipe out the entire planet in seconds was terrifying Super Buu didn't even move from his spot and everyone is just gone like that
sharp_279
Super Buu is completely terrifying because he just wiped out the entire world in like five minutes and now the ki sensing is just silence and Piccolo is actually stressed out which is rare
levi_lance
That extinction attack might be the most evil thing ever done in this series and the way those beams found every single human hiding was genuinely terrifying to see
bizzo_senpai
Piccolo is really out here making the toughest calls possible and even if the dragon balls bring everyone back it still felt like the villains finally won for a second
johnny_joestar_198
It was pretty brutal how Buu just wiped out the population of the earth to pass the time and the sight of the empty cities really hits hard after all the action before
kawauso_knight_43
I honestly did not think the show would go this far with the body count and seeing the world map just go silent was haunting Piccolo basically gambled with every life on earth and it makes sense why he did it, but man it was hard to watch Buu is just so much more terrifying now because he actually thinks and plans things out
iono_363
Super Buu not even knowing how long an hour lasts makes him so much more dangerous than Cell or Frieza and the wait for Gotenks to finish training is becoming unbearable now
sasha_necron_157
Tien and Chiaotzu dodging those homing blasts was cool but it just shows how messed up the situation is when everyone else just got erased from existence instantly
serena
My heart sank when those blasts started hitting everyone but seeing Mr Satan survive just because Buu remembered their friendship was a weirdly sweet moment in a totally depressing episode
askin_ascetic_483
The way Buu just walked around the Lookout to count how many people were left before he killed them all was so creepy, and it makes you feel bad for Piccolo having to make that choice
piccolo_protector
Seeing all those pink energy beams hunt down every single person on the planet was the darkest thing this show has ever done and it really made Buu feel like a actual monster
aqua_archpriest
I can't believe Piccolo actually told Buu to go kill people just to buy some time for Goten and Trunks and then the pink freak just wiped out the whole world in like ten seconds
saria
Videl standing her ground and calling Buu a coward was crazy to watch, especially since Piccolo was already sweating and that little connection to Mr. Satan is the only reason they are all still alive on that lookout
senku_scientist
Piccolo revealing that Videl is the daughter of Mr Satan was the only thing that kept them all from dying right then and there. It is crazy how much Buu still likes that loud idiot
futakuchi_onna
It is insane how fast the situation changed when Buu decided to wipe out every living person on Earth. Piccolo made a really tough call by letting it happen just to buy Goten and Trunks more time in the chamber, but it shows how much he trusts the Dragon Balls. Seeing the cities just disappear from above was actually terrifying.
artemis
I never thought Piccolo would use the dragon balls as an excuse to let billions of people die just to buy a few minutes of time. It really shows how cornered they are right now
zora_284
Gohan better hurry up and finish that ritual because earth is basically just a giant graveyard now. Watching him power up while Elder Kai does that weird dance is still pretty funny though
rito_288
Super Buu is way scarier than the fat version because he actually seems focused and impatient. That face he makes while waiting for Piccolo to lead him to the fight is creepy as hell
viluy_384
My stomach dropped when all those energy blasts started hitting the cities because nobody ever actually does that much damage so fast. Seeing the earth literally empty out is actually haunting
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at episode 256 of 291, this falls in the climactic back half of the Buu Saga, well past Majin Buu's transformation into his more dangerous forms and during the final desperate efforts to stop him. The preceding episodes have escalated the conflict to a global — even cosmic — scale, with Earth suffering catastrophic consequences. This episode continues building toward the saga's ultimate resolution, setting the stage for the final confrontations that will close out Dragon Ball Z entirely.
