Dragon Ball Super fans, get ready to say goodbye to the Mr. Buu you once knew. Since the franchise's anime kicked off in 2015, the rotund pink alien has kept to his own corner of the world with Mr. Satan. After being halved from his former identity as Majin Buu back in Dragon Ball Z, the gullible and gluttonous alien has kept a low profile in Dragon Ball Super. Aside from a few skirmishes here and there, nothing has prompted Mr. Buu to change anything about himself; However, that is all about to change.

In the next episode of Dragon Ball Super, fans will get to witness a new phase in Mr. Buu's life. The anime will see the alien train for the first time in preparation for the Omni-King's Tournament of Power. After having fought an exhibition match against Universe 9, Mr. Buu is more determined than ever to power up ahead of the event's main showdown. And, when Mr. Buu gets serious about his training, he winds up getting the abs to prove it.

So, see you later, Fat Buu! Dragon Ball Super is about to usher in the era of Fit Buu.

In the synopsis for episode 85 of Dragon Ball Super, fans learned that Mr. Buu would get a new trim physique as a result of training. Last weekend, a new preview for the anime showed people just what the new form looks like.

From looks alone, Mr. Buu seems to have a physique similar to the one Super Buu has thanks to his lean torso and face. However, his relaxed expression screams Mr. Buu, so Goku won't have to work alongside a fighter who suddenly looks like one of his greatest enemies. Talk about awkward, right?

You can read the episode's synopsis below:

"Before the tournament begins, the "gods" sound each other out?!

The Kaioshins of each universe gather before the Tournament of Power! Although some suggest requesting the Omni-King to reconsider, opinions differ and they are unable to form a plan... Meanwhile, all the Gods of Destruction besides Beerus gather too, and hatch a scheme targeting Goku's home, Universe 7?!

Take down Goku?! The Kaioshins and Gods of Destruction for each universe gather!!

Gohan goes to recruit Piccolo! Gohan visits his martial arts master Piccolo to ask him to enter the Tournament of Power!

Buu This Week: sparring with Goku?!
Buu can't wait for the main event! His body has really shaped up as a result of his special training. He battles Goku in order to test out his current power, but?!"
