Dragon Ball Daima Just Redeemed Super Saiyan 3, Explaining Why Goku Lost Against Buu

In the tendency to use Akira Toriyama's already built base for the Dragon ball franchise and make it better, Dragon Ball DaimaThe latest addition brings back the iconic form of Super Saiyan 3. To the delight of Vegeta fans, the Prince of Saiyans finally achieves the coveted transformation. In an impressive battle against Tamagami Number, Vegeta surprises everyone by unleashing the power of Super Saiyan 3, fulfilling an old dream of his supporters.

However, what makes Super Saiyan 3's return in the Dragon ball The special thing about the franchise is the fact that it has rescued the reputation that this format has among fans of the franchise. Unlike other forms, often introduced at the last minute to decisively dominate the final villain, such as Super Saiyan Goku defeating Frieza or Super Saiyan 2 Gohan defeating Cell, Super Saiyan 3 failed to defeat Buu, leaving him with a somewhat tarnished reputation. . However, Vegeta's Super Saiyan 3 transformation and his battle against Tamagami highlight exactly what this state is perfect for, justifying this iconic form.

Vegeta's Super Saiyan 3 highlights the specialty of the transformation

The Super Saiyan 3's specialty is his untapped strength

In Dragon Ball Daima Episode #12, titled “True Strength,” Vegeta is pushed to his limits by Tamagami 2, who even masters his Super Saiyan 2 form. Although it could be argued that Goku and Vegeta's power was significantly reduced due to their transformation into children , the narrative and his ability to access multiple Super Saiyan states confirm that most of his power remains intact, with the change only affecting his physical appearance, not his true strength.

This highlights the Tamagami's immense power, surpassing even Perfect Cell, as the Tamagami Vegeta faced unlocked a new state when Neva explored her true power, mastering Vegeta's Super Saiyan 2. This led Vegeta to transform into Super Saiyan 3, and by doing so, he defeated Tamagami and won the battle. This demonstrates the significant power difference between Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3, with Vegeta quickly defeating an opponent as strong or even stronger than Perfect Cell.

This also highlights Super Saiyan 3's true specialty: ending battles quickly. As it is known that the Super Saiyan 3 transformation consumes a lot of energy or ki, the state is only available for a period of time. THE Dragon Ball Z Buu Saga already explained this unique characteristic while also highlighting why Goku, despite unlocking the transformation, was unable to defeat Buu at that moment.

Goku's Super Saiyan 3 clash with Majin Buu was an unfavorable matchup

Majin Buu has a special trait that makes him a formidable villain

Upon entering the Super Saiyan 3 state, Goku explains that this form ignites every cell and drop of blood to its maximum potential, meaning that a Saiyan less experienced in controlling his power could destroy his own body in the process. Unlike previous transformations, which were triggered by intense emotions, Super Saiyan 3 is a state of pure brute strength and pushing physical limits. However, despite its uniqueness, Super Saiyan 3 has significant disadvantages, making its use risky due to the serious repercussions it can have.

Super Saiyan 3 consumes a significant amount of the user's ki, limiting the duration a Saiyan can maintain this form due to the immense strain it places on their body. The main disadvantage of Super Saiyan 3 is the time restriction, requiring careful and strategic use. After employing this transformation, the strain on the Saiyan's body is immense, making it essential to defeat the opponent quickly. Meanwhile, Majin Buu represents the exact opposite of Super Saiyan 3.

Majin Buu is a character with unlimited resistance and infinite regeneration capacity. No matter how much damage he takes, he neither tires nor is defeated. As a result, Majin Buu only needs to resist a Super Saiyan 3 until the transformation's time limit is reached. This is why, despite Goku initially overpowering Buu with his Super Saiyan 3 power, he was ultimately unable to defeat him as the form's limited duration worked against him.

Given that Goku's limited time on Earth was cut in half when he transformed into Super Saiyan 3, this highlights how critical time management is for this form, as every second drains a significant amount of stamina. This limitation is a major drawback of the Super Saiyan 3 state, which could soon play a key role in Daimaupcoming narrative, especially with Majin Duu entering the picture.

Majin Duu could pose the same challenge as Majin Buu for Goku and Vegeta

In addition to introducing Vegeta's Super Saiyan 3 and highlighting the transformation's specialty, Dragon Ball Daima Episode 12 also depicts Majin Duu's fight against the Tamagami from the first Demon World. As the battle progresses, it becomes increasingly apparent that Majin Duu is exhibiting Majin Buu's behavior. Despite Tamagami's relentless attacks, Majin Duu remains unharmed and effortlessly maintains his stamina. Using the same fighting style as Majin Buu, Duu eventually overpowers Tamagami and protects the Dragon Ball.

Arinsu's desire for an obedient replica of Majin Buu appears to have been satisfied with Majin Duu. As Duu displays more and more of Buu's characteristics, it seems only a matter of time before he demonstrates Buu's regenerative abilities. With Arinsu holding the final Dragon Ball, a showdown between Majin Duu and Goku or Vegeta is inevitable. Majin Duu's overwhelming power, evidenced by his effortless victory over Tamagami, will force Goku and Vegeta to unleash Super Saiyan 3 with ease, confirming Duu's strength as equal to Majin Buu's.

In his battle against Majin Duu, Goku's Super Saiyan 3 fight with Majin Buu could be recreated, emphasizing that Goku's inability to defeat Buu was due to a bad matchup rather than a failure in the transformation itself. This sets the stage for Dragon Ball Daima to potentially introduce a new transformation, possibly a fusion of Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan 3 states and such a fusion could serve as the final counterattack, explaining why Goku lost to Buu.
