Van Zant and Smitty are minor antagonists in Dragon Ball Z. They are two homicidal psychopaths who took advantage of chaos caused by Majin Buu and went on a killing spree before their rampages were stopped for good first by Mr. Satan, then by Majin Buu. Their irrational and irresponsible act of homicidal hedonism ultimately led to the doom of the planet Earth.

History

Van Zant

Van Zant is a deranged gunman who is responsible for the creation of Pure Evil Majin Buu. He and his friend Smitty were terrorizing cities and killing innocent people.

As Van Zant knew that Majin Buu was going to blow up the earth and decided he would do everything he wanted to do in his life, like murder. He eventually decided to kill Boo himself so he could have all the victims to himself. Arriving at Boo's house with Smitty, Van Zant shot Buu's puppy dog Bee. Mr. Satan beat him up, but he returned and shot the martial arts champion. Buu healed them both, but after Satan/Hercule was shot and Buu healed him, his evil side left him in the form of the steam that comes from his head whenever he gets angry, and took physical form of Pure Evil Majin Bu. The first thing that Pure Evil Buu did was go after Van Zant, who attempted to shoot him. But the bullets did not harm him, and Pure Evil Buu destroyed the evil gunman with an energy wave.

Due to his vile actions, he was not revived when the humans were resurrected with the Namekian Dragon Balls since Yamcha specifically asked that only good people could come back.

Smitty

Smitty is a butler who hangs around his master, Van Zant. Van Zant forced him to shoot an old man, and he discovered he liked killing innocent people, so they terrorized cities and shot people, until they decided to go after Majin Buu so that they could have all the victims to themselves. Smitty and Van Zant blew up Buu's house, but Mr. Satan attacked Smitty, knocking him off the hill they were on and knocking him out.

After Van Zant's death, Smitty witnessed the battle between Buu and Majin Buu. When Buu ate Fat Buu and turned into Evil Majin Buu, he went after Smitty. The gunman shot him, but the holes in him healed up. Evil Buu turned to liquid form and went down Smitty's throat, making him expand until he exploded.

Due to the brutal nature of his death scene, a great deal of it was cut from the American version shown on television. All we see is Evil Buu heading for Smitty's mouth, then Satan watching, then it shows the explosion, making clear Smitty was destroyed.

Because of his crimes, Smitty was one of Buu's victims to not be revived from the Namekian Dragon Balls since Yamcha's wish asked that the really evil ones be exempt from revival.
