What the actual fuck is this character's point? Seriously, this guy would be a quarter-episode gag character in Dragonball at most, and yet they kept bringing him back to waste hours and hours of time doing the same stupid, unfunny joke over and fucking over in the two most bloated points of the franchise. Was it a troll? Were they deliberately doing it to piss off the viewers/readers for laughs?
And no, his dynamic with Buu is not funny. Fat Buu is already overplayed and annoying for the better part of that arc, I think Satan makes him worse.
That's another thing - how did this guy even become champ to begin with? I mean, Dragonball has dogshit continuity, granted - but even it managed to remember important fighters between tournaments. In a world with characters like Tien or even Roshi, Satan wouldn't even get past Bacterian.

Everything past Freeza is irredeemable trash. Toriyama ran out of ideas/lost the plot and got really tired of doing DB.

Toriyama had a change of editor and he requested more gag stuff as the series had gotten (arguably) too serious by that point.
Imo his first interactions with Buu are alright in the manga, though it gets bland after that.
Anthony Taylor
This. Imagine actually not liking Mr. Satan Imagine being so edgy that you want all your characters to be "cool and serious", even literal normal humans.
>Was it a troll? The Buu saga is sort of an extensive troll attempt, yeah. Some people love it for that and think it brings back some of the old DB flavor, I think it's overlong, souring most of the humor, and tonally inconsistent. Also Toriyama having underwhelming and unsatisfying payoffs to what he set up is not clever and subversive, anyone who believes this should kill themselves.
Mr. Satan, however, probably has the best bit of payoff in the arc, even if the character can be more annoying than endearing.

I remember raging over him as a kid, now I love him.
Liking Mr Satan is the first step to adulthood.

>Was it a troll? Were they deliberately doing it to piss off the viewers/readers for laughs? user, he was more popular than Cell... during Cell's own arc
It's a show for 6-year olds. He's probably very funny to the target audience.
Samuel Ramirez
Just for the quality of the trace I can tell those are based manga's drawings and not the QUALITY bullshit toei does, who made this master piece coloring? It looks great
Brandon Barnes
Piccolo Daimaoh had his offspring kill all the top martial artists. A mediocrity like Satan must've survived to become the best of the bunch.
Jack Hernandez
Nah, DBZ was still airing when I was a kid and my kid cousins hated him and made us fast forward his parts.
They liked fat Buu though. And kid Trunks/Goten, fuck knows how for those two.
Benjamin Barnes
I dunno, Tien and Krillin and a few others are still around. Tien at least is actually still pretty serious and makes his career based on his martial arts.
Michael Allen
He made a hot daughter for Gohan to fuck. That's his purpose.
Austin Flores
That says more about Cell than it does about Satan. He lost to the likes of Krillin, whose only contribution was fucking up. And not by a little bit, either.
It doesn't help that Cell sucked after his first form.
David Foster
I like Boo arc more than Cell but even in manga and Kai form it drags too much
> in manga What the fuck? The buu arc in the manga was going to fast. Is thanks to the manga that the buu arc feels more natural in his pacing. And about the cell arc, it's a borefest.
Nathaniel Jenkins
There's no competition at the budokai with the saiyans absent. But you're right, Tenshinhan should at least appear to see if any people with potential showed up.
Caleb Ortiz
His whole Boo saga purpose is that anyone can make a difference no matter what the power level. He pacifies Fat Boo, the greatest enemy they had fought up to that point without even throwing a punch and Pure Boo by doing something no other character could do. He might be the best character in that mess of an Arc honestly.

All the old school tournament goers stopped attending after King Piccolo killed them, and then Goku and friends stopped attending for a number of years after he got married.
Satan was a competent martial artist when he became champ, but not on the level of anyone that had ki training. Afterwards he became lazy and was on the decline, even Videl was stronger than him, but he wasn't above bribing people so he could keep his title and image.

he was the strongest and last human on earth at a certain points. Cut him some slack kid.
Austin Cooper
Mr.Satan was the Ebaumsworld of the Dragonball universe. He's powerless and useless on his own, but he's the perfect scapegoat for pinning any major event on when you need to hide the true perpetrator. Or did you somehow miss how every time they wanted to hide their involvement in any major fight, they would give credit to him to get the media off their backs?
