TheMany Forms of Buu

One of Toriyama 's most creative choices was evolve Buu through multiple distrant personalities. Each form presents a different angle on his destructive nature and his uneasy relationship with' s humanity.

The Greet Saiyaman Saga ande the Reshaping of Gohan

Perhaps thee most famous filler strecch - and one that straddles thee line between canon and non-canon - is thee extended Greet Saiyaman arc.
