In the plot where little Buu was destroyed by the vitality bomb, the complete version added a close-up shot of little Buu. The scene of Wukong giving a thumbs up was also improved, and the scene of Vegeta's mouth was added. In the plot where Wukong brought Buu to practice, elements such as somersault clouds were added. The dialogue of the scene was modified, and the scene of Vegeta's mouth was also added. 2. ** Color printing and black-and-white printing contrast **: Some of the original color images in the standalone version (such as the color pages during the serial) were printed in black and white in the standalone version, and the colors looked strange.
