For the past few months, we here at CBR have ranked just about every saga from DBZ. Now, all that remains is the Buu Saga. After the defeat of Cell, Gohan had become earth's new champion and has been enjoying his life as a High School student. That all changes when his classmate, Videl, blackmails him into entering the World Tournament.
He and his fellow allies arrive to compete when Goku tells them all that he's coming back to earth for one day. Cue the Evil Babidi sending his henchmen to gather energy so that he may revive Buu, and we have the final saga of DBZ. Now, without further ado, Let's find out what are the ten best episodes of the Buu Saga, according to IMDB.
10 Vegeta Attacks (7.8, based on 309 votes)
Kicking off this list is the first of many fights to get to Babidi. Vegeta is first up to take on one of Babidi's henchmen, the mighty Pui Pui. Despite being sent to a planet where his opponent has an advantage, Vegeta eliminates Pui Pui with little in the way of an actual challenge.
IMDB users must really love seeing Vegeta in action, cause aside from this fight; it mostly has Goten and Trunks disguising themselves as Mighty Mask so they can compete in the adult division of the World Tournament. At least it was fun to see Vegeta killing a bad guy again.
9 The Wizards Curse (7.9, based on 277 votes)
A lot is going on in "The Wizards Curse." Gohan tells Videl that he was the one who killed Cell, Everyone at the Tournament doesn't know what to make of half of the combatants flying away, and we get our first look at the Wizard himself, Babidi.
If you're expecting much in the way of action, you'll be disappointed as this is more of a story-based episode. Not something audiences are used to when it comes to DBZ.
8 Heart of a Villain (7.9 based on 282 votes)
The battle between Gohan and Dabura continues. While the two fighters seem to be equal in terms of power, Dabura begins to pull a few tricks up his sleeves.
However, Vegeta tires at watching Gohan failing at defeating the Demon King and attempts to intervene. The fight ends anti-climatic, with Dabura peacing out so he may tell Babidi the good news. He has found someone with an evil heart that Babidi can control. We'll find out who that is next time.
7 The Warrior's Decision (7.9, based on 291 votes )
Vegeta's fight with Majin Buu seems to be going his way. He's able to land a plethora of blows on the evil creature, but things start to turn, as Majin Buu continues to regenerate from all the damage that's inflicted on him.
The pink demon even unleashes a powerful explosion that deals tremendous damage to Vegeta, but the Saiyan Prince gets back up. Buu then uses his own body as a weapon and ensnares Vegeta. As always, the fighting here is just as great as past battles, but boy does it suck to see Vegeta get a beating from Buu.
6 Videl is Crushed (7.9 based on 301 votes)
"Videl is Crushed" shows off the power of Babidi's mind control. According to Hercule, Spopovich was a push-over when the two first competed years ago. Now, he's beating the ever-loving hell out of his daughter.
Videl tries everything, but all her attacks are mere flicks to Spopovich, who treats her like a ragdoll. Of all the fights in DBZ, this was one of the most brutal. Seeing Videl helpless and unable to do anything is heartbreaking, and you want to punch Spopovich in the face by the end. What a jerk.
5 Vegeta's Respect (7.9 based on 324 votes)
Goku finally pulls out all the stuff and goes Super Saiyan 3 against Kid Buu. The action is some of the best seen in DBZ, with Goku going all out and Kid Buu able to match him blow for blow.
However, Goku powers down, and Vegeta has to step in. Sadly, he doesn't stand a chance against Kid Buu, but Goku gets back up and continues the fight. It's here that Vegeta reflects on his rivalry with Goku and finally admits that Goku is the better of the two. It's a big character moment for Vegeta... too bad he goes back to his grumpy "I'll surpass Kakarot" attitude when Lord Beerus comes along.
4 The Dark Prince Returns (8, based on 293 votes)
If you haven't noticed by now, A lot of IMDB's users are huge fans of Vegeta in this saga. Vegeta is pissed that Gohan failed to defeat Dabura, and he's letting it known to everyone.
It may seem like Vegeta being Vegeta, but Babidi sees this as an opportunity to recruit the Prince of All Saiyans. Unfortunately for our Heroes, it works, and Vegeta returns to the side of evil as "Majin Vegeta."
3 Vegeta's Pride (8, based on 304 votes)
After being transported back to the World Tournament, Vegeta wants only one thing: his fight with Goku. While our hero tries to make Vegeta see the bigger picture, the Saiyan warrior is not having it. Thus, he begins killing dozens of innocent people and nearly kills his former allies and his Wife.
Goku can say whatever he wants, and Babidi can try to order Vegeta around, but Vegeta won't stop until he gets that fight. So, Goku reluctantly accepts, and the two are transported away so that they can battle.
2 The Long-Awaited Fight (8.1, based on 296 votes)
After over 100 episodes of waiting, the world finally got to see Goku and Vegeta have a rematch and boy was the wait worth it. Not only are the two 100x stronger than when they first fought, but now they're both Super Saiyan 2.
The action on display is fantastic, filled with the same excellent animation and colorful chaos that DBZ is known for. It might not be as iconic as when they first did battle, but the fight between Super Saiyan 2 Goku and Majin Vegeta has become one of the series best outings.
1 Final Atonement (8.6, based on 382 votes)
Vegeta has done a lot of terrible things in his life. Just recently, he sold his soul to Babidi for the sake of power and went on a violent tantrum to get his fight with Goku. Now, he's willing to give up everything to save his son and Wife from the monster that is Majin Buu.
After knocking Goten and Trunks out cold and Piccolo getting the boys and Krillin to safety, Vegeta unleashes his Final Explosion. He may not have defeated Buu, but boy did he go out in a blaze of glory. Not only is this the highest-rated episode of the Buu saga, but it's also one of the highest-rated episodes of DBZ on IMDB.
