VS.
Oh boy, where do I begin with this? You're probably asking - why this matchup? Why couldn't it be somebody else or why in particular Majin Buu? Well to be honest, I chose the strongest antagonist in both series, but DBZ has so many villains that you could argue that one is stronger than the other. So I went with DBZ's last villain, the pink menace - Majin Buu (in all forms, good & bad) vs. Bleach's biggest threat, Aizen Sousuke. So this battle, in all areas, clearly has a victor, but I wanted to approach it in terms of character development and whatnot. So let's begin:
Character Development: Majin Buu is DBZ's last villain and was initially a good guy, but there's a catch - there was an Evil counterpart that consumed the good counterpart and as a result, Majin Buu became evil and the more he absorbed, the powerful he became. Babidi ( I think I spelled that right) is the creator/master, but of course Majin Buu doesn't comply since it thrives on absorption and doing more harm than good to our Saiyans. Majin Buu initially becomes stronger the more he absorbs, but of course our hero, Goku, and the rest of the group must stop this menace and you know what, they did, but of course it took many episodes before that happened
Aizen Sousuke....where to begin on this guy? Well for starters, he has deceived everyone for so long that since his time as a vice captain under Shinji Hirako of the 5th division, he has plotted his deception and plans to become "God." Well with Kisuke's research of hollowfication, Aizen wanted to harness the power of Urahara's "Hogyoku." Despite this, he plots, calculates, and calmly sets things in motion and make a pacts with Arrancars to invade/destroy the Shinigami. Ichigo's ploy in rescuing Rukia is where Aizen showed off his fangs to just about everyone and with that being said, he became Bleach's major antagonist (until Ywach showed up). Ultimately Ichigo did a # on him, Kisuke sealed him away, and he still poses a threat even when locked up.
Verdict: A short description, but plenty to work from. Majin Buu's character is interesting enough, but ultimately like any DBZ villain, met his demise in just 10 episodes of epic DBZ action that, of course, went on and on. For Aizen, he did a #, but ultimately was sealed away by Urahara....and he still poses a threat to the Soul Society because Aizen can talk the talk and walk the walk. So though this was short, I do think Majin Buu, in terms of strength, is just as powerful as Aizen (without his Butterfly wings). But of course the "Hogyoku" amplifies Aizen's power making it kinda unfair for Majin Buu. I will say this, Majin Buu has the brawn, but Aizen has all the brains. And brains, at the end of the day, wins. So the verdict, though it pains me (not really) to say it, goes to....
So who do you think won, or scratch that - did you like this matchup? I may/may not go back and reevaluate this fight (Like I did with Vegeta vs. Ikkaku). Lemme know your thoughts and until then, you all stay classy now!
