5.0 out of 5 stars Majin Boo - The Hatching, October 28, 2001

By

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z - Majin Buu - Hatching (Uncut) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Majin Buu egg is about to hatch... there s steam coming out from the ducts around the egg. The power meter is at its maximum and the egg is pulsating. Shin and Gohan look at the egg in horror while Babidi and Dabura wear a big smile (looks awkward on a Babidi, seeing that he looks like the offspring Freezer and the Taco Bell Chihuahua dog would have). Shin urges Gohan to run away... Gohan does not listen... He claims that Majin Buu would follow them anywhere anyways.
Gohan powers up... Gets a Kamehameha ready and shoots at the Majin Buu egg.
There is a blast, and when the smoke clears, the egg is still there. More steam comes out of the ducts around it and Gohan shoots another Kamehameha.

We switch back to Trunks and Goten. They both stop to notice a very awkward power... they notice a lot of birds flying away from the direction of the new power. "Do you think this has anything to do with Majin Buu?" Back at the tournament, an earthquake draws the remaining crowd away from the stadium, right up until when Hercule talks to the crowd to calm them (because he wants a crowd to remain for his coronation ceremony, of course).

Back at the egg site, Gohan is still shooting his mighty Kamehameha at the egg. Babidi just laughs at Gohan's febrile attempt to destroy Majin Buu. The egg rolls out of its place, so Gohan stops his Kamehameha. He looks at the egg and shoots at it again. But this time, he notices the egg moving.... he stops. The egg opens to reveal that it was empty! Smoke comes out of the egg but, nothing is in it. Babidi is crying and the Shin laughs in relief. "He remained in the egg for so long, he turned to dust!" A very happy Shin urges Gohan to fight Dabura again.... But Gohan stands there.... "I sense an immense power!" Then he notices that the smoke that came out of the egg is taking form... A big mass of pink clouds swirl in the sky.

For the first time in this episode, we are taken back to Goku and Majin Vegeta's fight. Both fighters are holding their own against each other in a tactical fight where only Majin Vegeta is forced to shoot energy blasts.

Back at the egg site, the pink cloud finally takes its final form.... arms, legs... head, belly.... A big, fat, and pink fighter emerges! Doesn't look like much of a powerful being, because its so fat.... Only Shin recognizes the pink blob... Dabura and Babidi are not sure about who the fighter is. Shin urges Gohan to run away.... immediately! Babidi calls Majin Buu, but he only walks towards Gohan. He takes a good look at him and he makes a back flip. He walks towards Babidi... "Are you Majin Buu?" The pink blob nods his head.

Goku notices Majin Buu's monster ki... He stops the fight and urges Majin Vegeta to try to sense that awefully evil Ki. Is this fighter really that strong? We wont know in this episode, that's for sure. (...)

5.0 out of 5 stars Majin Buu - The hatching (Unstoppable Buu), December 2, 2001

By 

OC UZOKA (LONDON, ENGLAND United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z - Majin Buu - Hatching (Uncut) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If The Cell Games was a bit of a dissappointment for you, the Buu Saga will more than make up for that.Babidi turned Vegetta against the Z-fighters and Goku was forced to go to Supersaiyen 2 in order to stop him.Despite Gohan and Shin heroic efforts to stop his awakening, Goku and Vegetta's fight woke up Buu.Buu has three forms but even in his fattest,weakest form he's still strong enough to beat the all powerful z fighters (piccilo and the saiyans included)as well as Shin.He quickly goes on to demonstrate his awesome ability by turning Babidi's right hand man Dabura into a cookie as well as taking Gohan and Shin out of commission and leaving them for dead.Piccilo and Krilin are turned back to normal but even the mighty Namek is forced to watch the battle against Buu from the sidelines.Don't forget Z fans Goku only has 24 hours on Earth before returning to Otherworld so believe it or not at this point of the Saga it looks as though Vegetta may be the only one strong enough to stop Buu, and he's ready to stake his life on it...with a little help from a few pint sized saiyans he just might pull it off!

ha, ha! The arival of Buu! His grammer and voice is just plan FUNNY! The Supream Kai in the first episode was very funny. Hercule proves he's not a complete idiot when he figures out humans beings are cable of flying, however the way he thinks it's done is NOT right. So, once again you get to see Hercule make a fool of himself. Not a WHOLE lot of action but it will do.
