Dragon Ball is one of the most iconic and famous anime and manga franchises of all time, garnering a legion of fans around the world. His stories are full of adventure and action, charismatic characters and epic fights, all created by master Akira Toriyama in 1984.
Among the many iconic characters of the franchise is Majin Buu, one of the most popular and powerful villains not only of Dragon Ball Z, but also of the entire anime universe. Therefore, he received a unique analysis on the official website of the production, which shows how Majin Buu could exist in real life.
The portal brought together experts to delve into the biology and physical characteristics of the pink villain, creating a connection with elements from the world of science. Find out everything the scientist had to say below about what Majin Buu would be like in real life.
Dragon Ball: the scientist explains how the villain Majin Buu would exist in real life
Discussion of the villain was posted on the official Dragon Ball website, which led one scientist to talk about the possibility that a Majin Buu exists in real life, outside of anime. It is worth mentioning that although it is based on real concepts from biology, the analysis was an attempt to rationalize the character’s existence using science, however, this is just a creative example.
Hokkaido University specialist in cell biology, tumor biology, biophysics and regenerative medicine Professor Hisashi Haga was the leader of the discussion on the physiology of Majin Buu. According to him, the character could be compared to organisms known as cellular slime molds, known as slime molds or fungi.
They are microscopic organisms about the size of one-tenth the width of a human hair, with an incredible ability to divide into smaller parts and rearrange themselves into a larger entity, much like Majin Buu does in the anime. Each mold cell acts independently to obtain food, however, under specific conditions, they can join together into a large multicellular organism.
According to Professor Haga, these slime molds do not pose a danger to humans. However, in a hypothetical scenario, he explains that “if they developed aggressive tendencies, it would be a serious problem. They are present everywhere and it would be extremely difficult to eradicate them.” In this situation, only a Saiyan could face the threat, the professor joked.
Majin Buu has also been compared to a macrophage, a type of immune system cell that has the ability to absorb and eliminate invading organisms. Haga explained that “When Boo absorbs his enemies, his appearance and clothes change, which is very reminiscent of the function of macrophages in the human body.”
The scientist also said he believes that, with scientific advances, it is still possible to create humans with similar characteristics to the character. In this regard he cites Professor Shinya Yamanaka’s research on induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which are capable of returning differentiated cells to their original state.
This process is not as fast as the villain’s, something that is unlikely to happen, but a similar slow transformation process is within reach in the future.
