"I'm ashamed my powers came from you!" |
Uub (ウーブ, Ūbu) from Universe 18 is the Human reincarnation of Kid Buu and a former disciple of Goku.
Goku took Uub under his wing when he was a young child and agreed to train him in order to make him stronger and to one day replace him as the keeper of the peace in their universe. Uub entered the Multiverse Tournament to show Goku and his other friends how strong he has become.
Personality[]
Unlike his former incarnation, who was a maniacal, sinister, ruthless and unhinged being whose only goal was to cause destruction for his amusement, Uub was rather timid, polite and lacks self-confidence. However, after training with Goku, he has a slightly more confident personality, though he still acts very respectful towards his elders. Unlike Pan, who believes that martial arts is like a game, Uub takes his training very seriously, hence making a lot more progress.
In the novel, Uub is revealed to have romantic feelings for Vegeta's daughter, Bra, with the feelings seeming to be mutual. Due to Uub's timid nature, as well as fear of Vegeta's disapproval, the relationship did not progress.
Biography[]
After he was taken under Goku's wing as his disciple, Goku showed Uub and Pan the basics of fighting by battling with Vegeta as Super Saiyan 2's. Despite Goku's confidence that Uub will surpass them, Uub is both confused and doubtful.
Years later, Uub's training has paid off, even mastering the Kaio-Ken that helps to multiply his power. Their training was cut off when they were invited to the Multiverse Tournament. Goku, eager to battle as well as test Uub and Pan's skills, signs both of them up into the tournament. Uub has been seen with Goku in nearly every panel. Mainly, since Goku has been introducing Uub to everyone he fought in the past. Uub is worried on the large amount of villains, but Goku reminds him that he has surpassed them(unknowingly about Cell's new power).
Multiverse Tournament[]
First Round[]
"Very powerful and concentrated explosions... chemicals... Good thing I didn't let myself get touched." |
In the first round Uub was scheduled to fight against Tidar from Universe 19. Tidar challenges Uub with his many weapons of nanotechnology, first using missiles with homing devices in them. This is no trouble for Uub, and he is able to easily dodge all of them and blow them up at a safe range with ease.
However, when Tidar uses what he calls "God's Blade," he succeeds in cutting off Uub's arm. This infuriates Uub and results in Tidar being blown to ashes with a single energy blast. Babidi from Universe 11 offers to heal Uub's arm for a price, but Uub declines the offer. Majin Buu from Universe 4 then perfectly heals Uub's arm, saying that he feels close to Uub due to the fact that "he has a little bit of Buu in him."
Second Round[]
Acting as a spectator in later rounds, Uub easily proceeded to the second round after his would-be-opponent, Nail, forfeited, leaving Uub to be matched up against Majin Buu from Universe 11.
Third Round[]
Uub delivering a huge blow to Majin Buu.
"Uub can manipulate magic? Did he inherit magical powers from Buu?" |
Uub's next match is with Majin Buu of Universe 11. Uub charges a Kaioken, then attacks Majin Buu. Buu tries to absorb him, but fails, as Uub hits him with a ki attack. Uub then charges a Kamehameha, which turns Majin Buu into tiny selves of him. The tiny Buu's attack Uub, but Uub defeats them, and Buu turns back into one piece. Majin Buu attempts to turn Uub into cake, but Uub bounces back the attack, and turns Majin Buu into a watermelon. Goku and Piccolo are in shock, as they did not know that Uub could manipulate magic. However, there is one tiny Buu left, and that Buu turns himself back into his true self. When Buu gets turned back, Uub asks Buu to play a game with him, in order to trick him. However, Buu realizes this, and gets angry. Majin Buu attacks Uub, and Uub uses the Galactic Donut, which is one of Gotenks' moves. Uub then uses his Maximum Kaioken, and charges a Super Kamehameha. One of Buu's mini selves is the only one left, Uub then uses a Mysterious Attack, in order to hide him, until the referees count the 30 seconds. Buu almost escapes. Babidi tries to use a spell in order to get Buu out of the attack, however Kaioshin stops him from doing so, as it is against the Tournament rules. Majin Buu finally escapes, but it is too late, as it has already been 30 seconds. Uub of Universe 18 wins the match, and he shall move on to the Fourth Round.

Techniques[]
Uub, by Gogeta Jr.
Flight: The ability to levitate by manipulating one's own ki.
Kiai: An invisible push of ki that usually fired from one's hands. Uub uses this to destroy Tidar's missiles during the first round.
Galactic Donut: Uub was first seen using Galactic Donut during his fight with Majin Buu of Universe 11. Since the original creator of this technique is Gotenks, he must use the trademark "TM" when he uses this attack.
Kamehameha: Uub can use Kamehameha, taught to him by his mentor.
- Super Kamehameha: A more powerful version of the Kamehameha, taught to him by his mentor.
Magic Manipulation: Uub has the ability to manipulate magic, which he inherited from Buu. He first demonstrated this ability when he deflected a Chocolate Beam that Majin Buu fired at him back at him.
- Candy Beam: The ability to turn people or objects into candy. Uub learned this technique from Majin Buu.
- Healing: Uub has the ability to heal himself of injuries through magic. He can presumably heal others also.
Kaio-ken: The ultimate signature technique for Uub, taught to him by his mentor Son Goku. While his maximum multiplication is unknown, but his Maximum allows to to fight against Goku in Super Saiyan 3 form.
Trivia[]
- Vegetto of Universe 16 mistakenly assumes that Majin Buu is "trapped" inside the boy's body.
- According to Salagir, Uub cannot regenerate since he is a human and is incapable of fusing with Majin Buu since they are different beings.[1]
- A running gag about Uub surrounds him always losing his arm and needs either Buu or magic to repair it.[2][3][4] This is even shown to a neo-afterimage clone he's created.[5]
