Some pretty cool stuff happened this week in the world of Japanese Animation. Levi and the Survey Corps Scouts seek out new allies on Attack on Titan. On FLCL: Alternative, Hijiri’s new bf gets stolen by an older woman… Haruko. And the Calvary Battle concluded with Todoroki’s team as the victors on My Hero Academia. But the one anime that stole the spotlight this week was Dragon Ball Super.
In Episode #79: The 9th Universe’s Kicking Basil vs The 7th Universes Majin Buu, the first match of the Zeno Expo began. Buu vs Basil, a red fox character from universe 9 who fights only with his feet. Goku and Gohan couldn’t sense his nor any of the fighters from universe 9’s power levels. Making it hard to tell just how strong they were.
This did not bother Buu of course who saw Basil as his playmate for playtime. The battle began with the red foxes fast feet kicking Buu all over the place. I bet Basil is like David Beckham in universe 9, that is if they have soccer there anyway. Buu despite getting pummeled was enjoying the fight until Mr. Satan got grazed with a blast from Basil.
This made Buu overflow with anger. Blowing his stack literally as steam shot out from the holes in his big pink head. “You hurt Buu’s friend Mr. Satan” he shouted at Basil. Thereafter, playtime was over and the actual fight began.
The two warriors from different universes clashed in a hurricane of furious attacks. None really having an advantage over the other at first. Until Buu’s rage gained the upper hand as he rang the red fox around like a rag and smashed him to the ground several times. It was awesome to see Majin Buu fight for the first time since Dragon Ball Z. Well early on in Super he did scuffle with Lord Beerus for a hot minute, but Beerus being so overpowering made short work of Buu so I don’t count that as an actual serious fight.
As Buu slammed Basil into the arena pillar, the red fox went out of the ring. “Yeah, that’s our Majin Buu” said Goku in excitement. But alas, this match was not yet over as Lord Zeno wanted more. So the match continued and the Supreme Kai of the 9th universe tossed something to Basil for him to eat. Berus called foul saying that that was cheating, but Lord Zeno’s attendant notified everyone that anything goes and the match went on.
Whatever the herb that Basil consumed made his muscles bulge and his power greater. Perhaps Barry Bonds knows something about what it was that Basil took, just saying. As the now pumped up fox launched himself at Buu with furious attacks, his one big attack nearly destroyed the whole arena and Buu with it. Or so did Basil and his universe 9 allies think.
Basil was stunned when he saw Buu regenerate the big hole that was in his big belly. Shortly after, Buu delivered a final blast that looked a lot like Goku’s Kamehameha, but it wasn’t. Basil survived, but was badly injured, so the winner of the first exhibition match is Majin Buu. He immediately went to his friend Mr. Satan’s side and healed him.
With best friends embracing the bromance, the second match of the Zeno Expo was set to begin, Gohan vs one of Basil’s fox brothers. Should be exciting, although I doubt it will top the Buu vs Basil fight, but we’ll see next week or right now on Funimation app or the like. I prefer to watch the English dub episodes though so I’ll wait patiently until then.
