Gohan seemingly lost every credibility as soon as he took over his alter-ego as Great Saiyaman. Other than being comic-relief as High School student, perhaps just as what Toriyama said "he was ultimately unsuitable for the lead character". After all, Gohan simply got his energy stole, puts up a decent fight with Dabra, got beaten by Fat Buu, again bot beaten in the process by another form of Buu & finally absorbed. Sigh... Toriyama could've worked out the narration better. I think he just got screwed by the plot. The Buu saga kept writing itself into a corner, and Gohan just so happened to get stuck in the corner no matter where he went. Its a pity, i really did want to see him shine. He had become a distinct character, a lot more than just "Goku's Son" and we lost that. Damned shame.

I think Super Boo should have come out of that egg, and he should have been a charcoal grey(In the Anime). I was also very disappointed how useless all the Human characters were, and how useless Gohan turned out to be, and didn't follow the tone that was set at the end of the Cell arc. Gohan was suppose to be the strongest and leader of the fighters, and was disappointed in Vegeta's role to Gohan...he should have been more like a father figure, but harsh and always pushing him and even trying to goat him into doing something to test him. Now, I wasn't disappointed in Gotenks and The Namek being absorbed, since it did make Boo smarter, I was also disappointed in how we never saw Gotenks Vs. Boo round 1 (Manga wise), I didn't like the fight in the Rosat, it was just too silly with the overall tone that I thought was set for the arc. I might be reading it wrong, but I felt a more serious tone and one that wanted to be dark, but we only got a little of, then fell short...even in the Manga. I was greatly disappointed in how Boo was defeated, since Kakarrot has already tried the Genkai Dama twice, and both times it failed at getting the job done.

Not just coming stronger than ever and getting beaten like he was nothing.

That's easy, it was when after the awesome, potential character, Gohan after training with the Z sword, struggling and then he sits for 24 hours to achieve the ultimate form, becoming stronger than ever, being awesome, the new,ultimate Gohan everyone was wondering and then he goes and surpasses everyone, beating the living thing outa Super Buu, then suddenly the fans whines about Goku wanting to be the hero, so they made Buu much stronger and beats Gohan into a pulp, making him die by a stupid kid Buu and then making him never seen in action in that saga ever again and therefore making Goku the ultimate hero as usual. That's the most disapointing moment of the Buu saga. Only real dissapointing thing in the saga for me. In an ideal world for me Gohan would have been the one to defeat Buu. He earned the right with all the build-up and hype.

Fat Buu certainly could've done better than just that. Fat Buu's character "went" to show the fact that one of the biggest reasons why he was destroying everything and killing everyone was that he had the mind of a child and as such was wrongly taught that killing and destroying was the way to play and have fun. After his initial fights, he went on to killing his own master and then befriending a human and showing that part of his had the capacity for good. It's ok if you didn't care much for where and how his character went, because it's a question of tastes and plenty of people thought Fat Buu made for a lousy villain, but I don't think it's correct to say his character didn't go anywhere.

He states this pretty much, he'd rather write comedies than serious stories and it goes to show. If it wasn't for the people helping him, we'd have gotten #19 and #20 as final villains. Compared to the other Arcs where his team was more on his back, forcing him to make changes (ones for the better) he was given more freedom here in the Buu Arc and he could not do it. His story telling was mediocre, filled with plotholes and inconsistencies and if AT was trying (which is probably a bigger shame) he failed miserably with it.

His story telling was mediocre, filled with plotholes and inconsistencies and if AT was trying (which is probably a bigger shame) he failed miserably with it. I kinda feel like there was a bit more executive meddling with the Buu Saga, what with weird sudden changes like Goku's return, Goten suddenly popping up out of literally nowhere, an additional Super Saiyan form (Which contributed literally nothing to the plot or downfall of any villains in this arc) And AT was perfectly capable of adding in some subtle comedy In previous arcs while still maintaining some gravity. I think it's actually a bit more threatening when guys like the Ginyu Force, Frieza and the Androids can show up and curb stomp the heroes all while trying to figure out who owes who a shopping spree or a space beer from the last mission. The fact that the Androids, Buu and Ginyus did that just proved how badass they were because they didn't take Goku and the gang seriously. The Z Fighters weren't valid threats to these guys, so they had fun. I think it's terrifying when you have a guy that's just goofing off when you're trying to save the universe because you can't derail his plan. That means you have no chance of doing this and it's game over. That's real. But that's just me. And without moments like these, it's easy for an anime to take itself too seriously and that's often subject for more ridicule. It keeps the fiction in perspective and I do enjoy that.
