Summary[]

On Grand Kai's Planet, Krillin freaks out having just seen Vegito turned into a candy.

Candy Vegito fights against being eaten by Super Buu

On Earth, just as Super Buu is about to eat him, Candy Vegito escapes from Buu's hand by causing Buu to punch himself in the face. Vegito then says he retained the ability to fight and begins pummeling Super Buu in a comical fashion. Super Buu tries to fight back, but Candy Vegito is too small and fast for Super Buu to hit him. Super Buu realizes that this is pointless and he reverts Vegito back to normal. Kibito Kai says that they can breathe easy again, as Vegito is in his original form.

Vegito uses his Perfect Game's punch

Vegito then continues to dominate Super Buu to the point that he has difficulty regenerating. He eventually does manage, but he does have a gaping hole in his gut. After some fighting, Vegito says that this is getting boring and that he will count to ten and after that he will kill Super Buu. Vegito starts counting and Super Buu begins to worry. As Vegito is counting, Buu notices a piece of his head tentacle on the ground behind Vegito. He finds that he can control it with his mind, and as Vegito gets to ten, Buu absorbs him.

Differences from the manga[]

  • King Kai suggesting that Krillin and Yamcha should be sent in to fight Super Buu after Vegito is turned into a candy is exclusive to the anime.
  • Vegito fighting as a candy against Buu was very short in the manga with the latter changing him back after two pages. Here the fight is a bit longer with additional gags such as Buu attempting to devour Vegito until he bobs the former's fist up and down while in his own mouth.
  • The flashback sequence with King Yemma telling Vegeta of the second chance he could have against Buu as he explains how it happens to Fortuneteller Baba in the present is exclusive to the anime.

Trivia[]

  • In the original release of this episode (and the Funimation DVD single it was first released on), Vegito had a high-pitched voice filter when he is turned into a candy. The remastered version took out the filter and has him speaking normally, like in the original Japanese version.
  • In the Ocean dub, when Vegito is grasping Buu by his tentacle, he addresses the latter as Majin instead of by his true name.
  • This is the only time Super Buu uses the Change Beam to reverse its effects.
  • This episode features a flashback within a flashback, when Yemma is explaining how he managed to coherce Vegeta's help into fighting Majin Buu. The initial flashback to Yemma's office features a color adjustment, while the second flashback removes the color entirely and intentionally degrades the video quality to resemble an old film.
  • Yamcha complains in the English dubs that the Grand Kai's Planet lacks any girls for him to have fun with despite several females being depicted living on the planet in the Other World Saga.
