Another of my meshing of the Anime and DBZ movies together, although this one is going to require some changes as Fusion Reborn is one of those movies where fitting it into the timeline is a tougher nut to crack.
- In this case, it begins after the "birth" of Super Buu; him arriving at the Lookout, wiping out almost all of humanity with a single attack, Piccolo's attempts to delay him, Chi-Chi been killed by him after he turns her into an egg and finally his battle with Gotenks in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber before Piccolo destroys the door to try and trap them.
Meanwhile in the Other World, the Saike Demon's failure to swap a full tank of extracted evil at the Soul Cleansing Machine results in an explosion; releasing thousands of years of evil energy that turn the Saike Demon into Janemba - who proceeds to encase the Check-in Station in crystal, which in turn allows the dead to return to the living world as well as the Z-Fighter's former enemies from Raditz and Nappa to Babibi and Dabura.
(For the sake of this idea, I'll keep the prior movie villains out of this scenario, just so it doesn't become overly cluttered/chaotic with trying to mesh all the movies and their villains into the anime timeline).
- On the Sacred World of the Kai, Goku senses this and heads to the Check-in Station via Instant Transmission to try and help; meeting Pikkon who was sent there by Grand Kai and encountering Janemba.
While Pikkon tries to free the Check-in Station (discovering the crystal's weakness to insults), Goku fights Janemba in Hell; powering up to Super Saiyan 3 and seemingly beating him, only for Janemba to become Super Janemba and overpower both Goku and Vegeta when the latter tries to help.
Before the pair can attempt fusion, however, Janemba senses another dark power and grins; opening a portal out of Hell thanks to his reality-warping abilities and heading to Earth to confront it.
- Back at the Lookout, the heroes learn of the dead returning but - with no humans left to protect (and unaware of Tien, Chiaotzu and Mr. Satan still been alive), they choose to remain on the Lookout. When Super Buu uses his power to escape the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and prepares to attack the heroes, however, he's distracted by feeling the numerous energies back on Earth; confusing him as he previously wiped out almost everyone. Returning to Earth, he unleashes his Transfiguration Beam to turn multiple zombies into chocolate for him to eat.
Super Buu's power, however, is what attracts Janemba (in particular Super Buu's "Vice Shout" that he used to escape the Hyperbolic Time Chamber) - who proceeds to appear on Earth from the portal he made to escape Hell, with the Magically-Engineered Majin and the Evil Incarnate Demon laying eyes on each other.
- With Goku grabbing Vegeta and Pikkon, they return together to the Sacred World of the Kai to await the completion of Gohan's potential been unlocked by Old Kai; seeking to potentially use Janemba's warping of reality and shutting down of the Check-in Station to all return to Earth together to fight both threats despite all been dead - with the idea been to take out Super Buu first and then wipe out Janemba to return the dead back to the Other World.
However, with the heroes alive on the Lookout and Piccolo and Gotenks still seeking to wipe out Super Buu, while the Z-Fighter's former villains have returned from the dead to launch their own rampages around Earth, how do you think this alternate version of the Buu Saga would play out?
Curious to see what you guys think.
