Dragon Ball Zhas always been known for its explosive battles and iconic transformations that shape the fate of the universe. But amidst the epic fights, the series is also known for some of the goriest and unsetting scenes, where moments of pure terror creep into the story. One scene in particular stands out as one of the most chilling moments in theDragon Ball Zuniverse: Majin Buu’s horrific encounter with a man named Smitty in Episode 255.
This scene is from the Majin Buu Saga, where Majin Buu; the pink, childlike creature with unimaginable strength and an unpredictable nature, brings the story to new heights of horror as he unleashes devastation on Earth. While this scene is indeed horrifying in the manga, the anime version takes it to a new level of grotesque.
Episode 255 ofDragon Ball Z: Majin Buu’s Reign of Terror
In the Majin Buu saga ofDragon Ball Z,Majin Buu quickly provedthat his lust for chaos and violence was his own. Buu goes on an unrestrained rampage, annihilating cities and eliminating anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path. At this point in the saga, the audience has already seen glimpses of Buu’s unpredictable personality, ranging from childlike innocence to cold-blooded cruelty.
But what happened in episode 255 was beyond anyone’s expectations. Smitty was a very insignificant character from Dragon Ball Z who used to hang around with Van Zant. As a gunman, this guy loved hunting down people with his young master Zant, and this unusual habit led them to attack Majin Buu which turned out to be Smitty’s nightmare.

Majin Buu became incredibly mad upon seeing Mr. Satan getting shot in the hands of Smitty and lost control of his anger. Soon after, he created Evil Buu, which vaporizedVan Zant. Afterward, the Evil Buu started to dominate Good Buu, eventually devouring him and turning into Super Boo.

You ever got bloated from eating? you know the pain. Now looking at this, dial it up to 100
That scene hit hard! 😱💔
I can only imagine how the TV version of DBZ Kai censored this brutal scene
The perfect scene for halloween
This scene solidifies Buu as more than just a physical threat; he embodies a kind of terror thatDragon Ball Zhad rarely touched upon until this point. Although Smitty was definitely at fault there, the way Super Buu devoured him was one of pure horror, as audiences are forced to confront the idea that Buu’s attacks aren’t just about power, but they’re about his sadistic enjoyment of causing pain.
This scene perfectly captures why theMajin Buu Sagais so memorable as it didn’t shy away from showing the brutality of a villain who didn’t operate by any rules or principles. While earlier sagas focused on clashes of power and pride, Buu’s reign of terror brought an unsettling unpredictability that changed the tone of the series.

Additionally, this scene also serves as a haunting reminder of what setsDragon Ball Zapart — it’s a series that doesn’t just explore epic battles and power but also confronts the terrifying consequences of unchecked evil.
Dragon Ball Zis currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
