Me Buu, kill you!
~ Kid Buu
Buu squash you like bugs! Dum dums!
~ Kid Buu to Goku and Vegeta before heading to the Lord of Lords.

Kid Buu, also referred to as Pure Majin Boo in the original Japanese dub, is the original form of Majin Buu and is one of the main antagonists of the Majin Buu Saga of the Dragon Ball Z anime/manga. He is the archenemy of Mr. Satan, Shin, and Good Buu.

An ancient evil summoned by the evil wizard Bibidi, he was transformed into Fat Buu after absorbing the South Supreme Kai and the Grand Supreme Kai, but later transformed from Super Buu when Vegeta tore Good Buu out of his head. With the purity and rationality of the Grand Supreme Kai's influence inside of him gone, he is greatly more dangerous than ever as he is now pure unrestrained rage and evil, a mindless killing machine.

Biography[]

After becoming Kid Buu, his first act was to blow up the Earth with a giant pink energy ball after Vegeta tells him if he wants to destroy Earth, he has to fight them first. Despite Vegeta's claim, Buu's attacks killing Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yajirobe, Korin and Android 17.

He then used Instant Transmission to destroy multiple planets until he arrived on the Grand Kai's planet. He fought Krillin and Yamcha, who were already dead, and nearly blew up the planet before Full Power Super Saiyans Goku and Vegeta powered up to draw him over to the Supreme Kai's planet.

Through a game of rock-paper-scissors, they decided that Goku would fight him first. Goku first fought Kid Buu in his Super Saiyan 2 state and later as a Super Saiyan 3, evenly matching Kid Buu's power, but soon began to rapidly lose energy due to him not having mastered the Super Saiyan 3 state. Vegeta fought Kid Buu as a distraction and powered up to Super Saiyan 2, even though he knew that if he died while already dead, he would not exist anymore and could never be revived again. Vegeta was at a disadvantage and Buu was about to end his existence when Mr. Satan, believing himself to be in a dream, appeared and insulted Buu. Buu tried to attack him, but was unable to as he was suffering from a headache caused by Good Buu, whom Kid Buu proceeded to spit out like a piece of chewing gum.

Kid Buu then fought Good Buu, but Kid Buu had the advantage and brutally beat him to a pulp, with Mr. Satan attempting to defend his friend to no avail. When Goku lost all of his energy, Vegeta devised a plan that involved using the Namekian Dragon Balls to revive Earth and everyone who had died since the beginning of the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, except for the most evil ones (Vegeta and the Elder Kai were revived as well). Goku then began gathering energy for a Super Spirit Bomb but no one on Earth (aside from the other Z-Fighters and their friends and families) would give up energy. When Good Buu was close to death, Vegeta reentered the battle and Goku asked people to give up their energy. A few of them did, but everyone else thought he was trying to steal their souls - until Mr. Satan asked them to, and they did, believing that Satan was the one fighting Buu.

~ Kid Buu's last words before he gets destroyed by Goku's Super Spirit Bomb

Kid Buu caught the Super Spirit Bomb when Goku threw it at him and began redirecting it at him. When Vegeta had Dende use Porunga's third wish to restore Goku's energy, due to this, Goku was able to overpower Kid Buu by going Super Saiyan, allowing the Super Spirit Bomb to completely destroy Buu entirely as the being screams in pain and disintegrates. Before the final moments, Goku tells Buu that he would comeback one day as a better person.

Reincarnated as Uub[]

Uub1

Uub, Kid Buu's reincarnation.

Before destroying him, Goku said he would like for Kid Buu to return as a better person, as he was his most worthy opponent yet. King Yemma heard this and, after Kid Buu's death, reincarnated his body into a human child named Uub who, unlike his previous self, was pure good. 10 years after Kid Buu's death, Uub first meets Goku in the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament. After he fought Goku in the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament, Uub becomes Goku's student and Goku decides to live in Uub's village as his mentor so that he can train him to become the new protector of Earth. Uub agrees to protect his loved ones.

However, Buu's Ki is pink and extremely destructive, being capable of easily destroying large planets with minimal effort. Buu's body is completely malleable and can infinitely regenerate so as long as one undamaged molecule is left intact. He can also conduct strong electricity through it and shape and stretch his appendages. He is also capable of cloning himself. Buu can absorb other beings and gain their characteristics and some of their techniques. As well as create new ones from them. He can fire a Transfiguration Beam (more commonly known as the Chocolate Beam) from his head that changes anything it makes contact with into whatever Buu desires. Buu possesses strong telekinetic abilities, capable of levitating an entire city from its foundation. Buu can mimic any Ki technique simply by observing another being using it. Buu possess an odd Ki signature that makes it hard to tell how strong Buu really is. Whether Buu's power level is incredible, or not that much is unknown even by Majin Buu.The Galatic Patrol Prisoner saga from Super also stated that Kid Buu also had God Ki which passed on to his reincarnation Uub.

Complete Body Manipulation[]

Like all his other later incarnations; Buu's body is completely malleable and controllable. He can clone himself, stretch his appendages, conduct strong electricity through it, and regenerate on a molecular level. He can even transform himself into a ball and roll towards his opponents. Out of all of the Buus, he is the most skilled in this regard.

Instant Mimicry[]

Buu can gather and assimilate any kind of knowledge and understand it fully and instantaneously, It allows Buu to instantly and perfectly perform any skill or ability he saw. This explains how he knew Instant Transmission because he saw Kibito Kai perform it. This ability is shared by all versions of Buu. The limit of this ability is unknown, but he has learned such abilities like the Kamehameha, Gotenks' Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack and Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon. Even in death, this ability is retained by Kid Buu's reincarnation, Uub, as Vegeta stated that Uub was learning to fight Goku very quickly.

Planet Buster Bomb[]

Kid Buu's ultimate attack. It is a giant bright pink Ki Sphere that, once it is ready, Buu launches at his opponent, inflicting a huge amount of damage. Goku notes that in its first use, it is strong enough to blow the Earth up at least ten times (in the Funimation dub) and that even he and Vegeta cannot stop it. It is also magnetic to Ki and other smaller Ki attacks are absorbed into it to power it up. Using this attack, he can destroy planets much smaller than Earth with ease.
