QUICK TAKES
tulip
even king enma was sweating over the paperwork he would have to do if everyone died and that little bit of humor during the most intense fight was great
karakasa_kozo
you can really feel the weight of the situation when the scene cuts to the families on the lookout and gohan looking so worried for his dad really set the mood
kappa_king
I felt so stressed when satan ran out to grab vegeta and he really is the world champion for that move alone because goku was about to let the whole universe blow up
kuda_gitsune
vegeta giving that thumbs up and telling kakarot he is the best is the only ending this rivalry needed and it felt so earned after everything they went through together
ptilol_385
kid buu getting shredded into a million pieces was such a visual and you can tell the animators put everything into that final blast to make it look special
waifuhunter
I actually can’t believe we finally reached the end of the buu saga and the spirit bomb actually finished the job for once. Watching everyone on earth give their energy because of mr satan was such a cool way to involve the humans again, and vegeta admitting goku is number one while dende used the dragon to save the day was the only way to wrap up this battle
setsuna_meioh
seeing cell and freeza watching the fight on a tiny tv in hell was hilarious and it made the whole thing feel like a huge universal event which it was
microwaved_dave
the spirit bomb actually killed the villain this time and goku wishing for the pink monster to come back as a good person was such a nice touch to the ending
jushiro_jubei
satan carrying vegeta away was the wildest thing because nobody expected the world champion to actually do something useful and goku looked so much better when he saw they were clear of the blast
oliver_operatic_502
I was shouting at the screen when goku was losing his power, but luckily vegeta remembered the last namekian wish just in time. Dende is the real mvp for that one
prince_demande_379
goku telling buu he hopes he comes back as a good guy is the most goku thing ever and it shows why he is the heart of this entire series
iris
That transition when Goku finally goes Super Saiyan to push the bomb down looked amazing and his face was so focused while he was ending it
professor_rowan_331
That massive pillar of light that shot into space when the Spirit Bomb erased Kid Buu was incredible, especially with how it totally vaporized him
nunnally_lamperouge_174
Frieza and Cell watching the fight from Hell on a big TV was pretty funny to me and it really showed how massive this fight was for the whole universe
gagoze_ghoul_75
Dende coming through with that last wish to fix Goku’s strength was the smartest move they could have made because Kid Buu was actually starting to push that bomb back
clavell
Vegeta begging the people of Earth to help was such a big change for him and seeing everyone finally raise their hands made the whole buildup worth it
eudial
That little speech Goku gave right before the end was something else because wishing for his enemy to come back as a good person is just the most Goku thing ever
jackie_jackal_491
The thumbs-up from Vegeta at the very end really got to me, because it feels like the perfect way to wrap up their whole rivalry since the Saiyan Saga. He finally admitted Kakarot is the best, and they just stood there in the crater together after everything was done. It is easily my favorite moment because they finally look like friends
final_fantasy_fan
After all these years the Spirit Bomb finally got the kill and it felt so right seeing Kid Buu vanish like that
saitama_smasher
I never thought Mr Satan would be the hero but he really saved Vegeta from getting blasted and I actually cheered when he ran out there
EPISODE CONTEXT
With only five episodes remaining in the entire series, this episode represents the decisive turning point of the final battle against Kid Buu — the culmination of an arc that has pushed every major character to their absolute limits. Everything from Goku and Vegeta's desperate tag-team stalling to the Dragon Ball wishes gathering Earth's energy has led directly to this moment. What follows in the remaining episodes will handle the aftermath and closure of not just the Buu Saga, but Dragon Ball Z as a whole.
