Standing here I realize I am the World Martial Arts Champion

Bubblegum, son! It softens in response to physical trauma!

[brolyfanstandwithvic]

The fact that Mr. Satan said fuck it and was literally willing to defend his friend shows to me that if he actually trained with the Z fighter, he would be a good friend.

[dynias]

I mean the fact that nr satan can move buu even slighty is impresive

[BillelXHunter]

Fun fact : Mr Satan is the only one who fought both cell and buu and didn't die

[moonmelons]

Mr Satan is portrayed as a coward often, but the man was straight willing to throw hands with something that curb-stomped SSJ2 Vegeta.

[MoxieYT]

Hercules punches had a delayed effect just like when he fought Android 18 so when the Spirit Bomb hit Boo it was actually Hercules Combos that killed him.

[AegisAuras]

When he says “Fine. So be it.” he’s acknowledging the likelihood that he’ll die here, deeming it an acceptable trade off for the opportunity of protecting his friend. He even leads his opponent away from his friend, hoping to divert away attention and energy blasts while he buys time.

That’s incredibly badass for a “joke character”.

Little did Buu know, Hercule used the Hokuto Shinken style. Hercule had struck all of his vital weak points, and ruptured every organ in his body. *_He was already dead._*

[cameronballz]

Hercule: HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD!?

Kid Buu: chewing gum son, it hardens in response to physical trauma.

[jadestep]

In the fictional world of DragonBall, Hercule Satan is a joke character. But honestly, would easily destroy anyone in professional fighting IRL if someone such as this really existed.
The man has super human strength, can crush rocks to sand paper, punch through a truck, even fast enough to avoid a gunshot at one point. Let's all be honest, nobody would challenge him to a 1-on-1 in the street, ring, dojo ect. XD

[rolandfoxx]

Just a friendly reminder that Satan squared up with Cell and Buu and lived, is in fact literally the _only_ character to survive the entire Z saga with 0 deaths, whose actions directly led to the Earth and the whole damned _universe_ being saved and who is responsible for the only successful Spirit Bomb in the series, as well. Mister Satan is a gigachad among gigachads.

[Xoguran]

At this point in the story, Mr Satan is aware that:
-Gods do exist.
-There is an after life.
-He is the last homo sapiens in the universe.
- Demigods were being mopped on the floor by a psychotic sociopath manchild.
- That manchild could destroy everything, even the afterlife.
And still, this didn't break him mentally (once he did overcome his denial), showing the willpower necessary to save his friend.

[DeoWatcher-tnbk]

He may not be the strongest human in the world, but he surely have a massive balls of steel to confront Kid Buu like that

[DinoJake]

"Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway."
- The Fourth Doctor

[manoeleduardoaraujofilho]

Let's remember that, by " normal human " standards, Mr. Satan is actually a very skilled fighter. Main reason why he looks like a coward is because he's around individuals who can literally sneeze cities out of existence.

[MrMarket]

Hercule really threw hands with an immortal monster that was far stronger than the friend he once feared deeply, and saw it destroy the entirety of the world he knew, just to let it know he still had some fight and heart left in him. I struggle to think of anyone more deserving of embodying this meme with the sole exception of the source itself.

[RambunctiousReptilian]

Give Hercule credit where it’s due, he survived fighting Cell, Buu, AND Omega Shenron.

[WowSuchGaming]

Fun Fact: Mr. Satan is the only character that never died in DBZ

[MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

You gotta admire the flipping size of Mr. Satan's balls. He's been outclassed by the characters in Dragon Ball since at least the first World Martial Arts Tournament we see in the series, yet he still sacked up and threw hands at one of the most powerful beings in both existence and the series to protect his best friend.

[ColdFuse]

Never forget that even when everything was stacked against him, Mr. Satan stood his ground and chose to fight to defend his friend.

[dewayne]

Seeing this again after like how many years this episode been out, Mr.Satan is actually a pretty fast puncher, gotta give it to him
