HERCULE (MR. SATAN)
H(
The undisputed World Martial Arts Champion , at least, as far as the general public knows! Hercule is the ultimate hype man and the necessary comedic relief when the cosmic stakes get way too heavy. Watching him try to logic his way out of dealing with super-powered aliens using smoke and mirrors is classic television. But let's give the Champ his due: without his ability to rally the people of Earth, the Spirit Bomb against Kid Buu would have completely fizzled out!

Open →Buu Saga · Sacred World of the Kai · Result: Total Erasure (Super Spirit Bomb)
The final battle of DBZ. Stripped of all absorptions, Kid Buu is pure, chaotic malice. SSJ3 Goku burns out his stamina, and SSJ2 Vegeta gets battered to a bloody pulp just to buy Goku time. In the end, it takes Mr. Satan pleading with the people of Earth to raise their hands, fueling a cosmic Spirit Bomb that Goku pushes over the edge.
The Breakdown
The perfect thematic conclusion. Goku doesn't win with a secret form. Vegeta sets his pride aside to admit Goku is Number One. And Mr. Satan, the ultimate fraud, becomes the legitimate savior of the universe by bridging the gap between gods and mortals.
