Talk:Shocking Absorption Ability Buu (Super)/@comment-33642168-20181005124245/@comment-34438092-20181005203748

It could be vaguely linked to what happened in the anime.

Super Buu only absorbed Piccolo and Gotenks after he was embarrassed by Ultimate Gohan (hence the hp restriction). By the time he got round to absorbing Ultimate Gohan, Gotenks defused (inside him) and he reverted down to Piccolo and was fighting a relatively fresh SSJ3 Goku.

It wouldn't really have made sense for them to go Super Buu -> Buutenks -> Buuhan -> Ultimate Buu, so I get what they were thinking with the hp restrictions for each of the transformations. It doesn't mean I like it, but I do understand it at least!
