‘Dragon Ball Super’ Episode 79 Recap: Buu Wins First Match!

The most anticipated "Universal Survival" saga have finally showcased its first exhilarating exhibition match between Universe 7's Majin Buu and Universe 9's Basil. Looking back, Zenos and his future counterpart organized a inter-galactic tournament due to Goku's request but before that an exhibition match will be held to set some to know the rules and limitation to be used in the battles. Team Universe 7 consists of Goku, Gohan and Buu while Universe 9 have the humanoid wolf brothers called 'Trio of Dangers'.

The stakes have never been this higher in this so called 'Tournament of Power', its just the destruction of all the losing universes and the Super Dragon Balls for the best warrior. The first part of the battle started in the previous episode ending with Buu getting literally kicked in the butt. Though the attack from Basil looked powerful Buu seemed unfazed and not really taking the fight seriously.

Episode 79 titled 'Universe 9's Basil the Kicker Vs Universe 7's Majin Buu', started off with Basil laughing really hard and calling Buu a weakling while the pink genie-looking man laid flat on his back. Supreme Kai of the Universe 9 was also laughing maniacally as his warrior seemingly controls the situation. Apart from their knowledge Buu is undamaged by the attacks like he is just playing and enjoying an amusement park ride as reported by Empty Lightouse. His jelly-like body is just absorbing the impacts of Basil's attack deforming and elongating with each punch and kicks.

The fight got interesting when Goku taunts Universe 9 saying that they have to show their true power against Buu. Basil unleashed his killer move called Shining Blaster and Mr. Satan was hurt during the huge explosion caused by the attack. That when the fans see the iconic Buu steaming in the holes in his body.

According to Anime News Network, the episode was full of the classic "Dragon Ball Z" fighting scenes with its unique fast battle sequence with lots of punching and kicking. In an instant Buu turned the tables with Basil getting beaten to a pulp. As a last resort Basil was given a steroid-like drug which enhances his fighting capabilities.

In desperation, Basil attacked Buu persistently however Buu just returns to his original state undamaged. Buu finished the match with his own version of Kamehameha; though Basil is still standing, the drug's effect wore of and he collapsed unconscious.After the match concluded, the other contestants was called and the next match will be against Lavenda against Gohan.
