Majin Buu Quotes

The girl is explicitly frightened when she flatters Buu. He treats the answer as permission to demand a kiss. When she resists, he looks at pictures of attractive men, changes his face and tries again. Her refusal persists. His complaint about women's inconsistent wishes ignores the choice she has already expressed. The scene does contain a recognizable anxiety about bodily appearance, but allowing that anxiety to explain everything would erase the coercion around it. A different face cannot turn fearful appeasement into consent. Nor does becoming the kind of man pictured in a magazine oblige this particular person to want him. Buu answers rejection by turning her into candy and eating her. The killing makes the earlier insistence more than awkward courtship. He is demanding that her response validate the solution he has chosen, and treating her continued refusal as an offense rather than a decision.

Hercule asks why the killing continues and receives a history of instructions. He then tells Buu that obedience is no longer required. Buu's answer identifies a further obstacle: he does not know what else to do. Earlier, Buu has killed Babidi, so removing the person issuing commands has not by itself organized a different life. This is more specific than saying that a bad influence leaves traces. The behavior has supplied an activity and a familiar direction; its former authority can disappear while that practical arrangement remains available. Hercule's permission to refuse addresses one part of the problem, and the reply exposes another. Explaining that difficulty cannot excuse the people harmed while it persists. It can make an intervention less empty than simply repeating that the violence is wrong. The conversation reaches a point where stopping requires an alternative that Buu can understand as something to do, rather than only a command he is now free to disregard.
