[NARRATOR] Last time on DragonBall Z,

The Great Saiyaman, or rather, Gohan,

entered the ring with his opponent Kibito.

Gohan's true identity had been revealed

so there was no sense hiding it anymore.

But he didn't expect that all his secrets

would be revealed.

[KIBITO] Gohan, I am curious to see your Super Saiyan powers.

Show them to me! We may be able to use them!

[NARRATOR] To everyone's surprise,

Shin stepped forward to reveal that Gohan

had become a pawn in a much larger plan.

[SUPREME KAI] You do not need to worry about Gohan.

He will be fine.

But no matter what happens, I want all of you to promise me

that you'll stay out of the ring.

Do you understand?

What? No way!

What do you want with Gohan?

[NARRATOR] This mysterious message seemed to spell trouble

for Gohan, but when the Z-Fighters learned that Shin

was none other than the Supreme Kai himself,

they had no choice but to obey his request.

Meanwhile, two pairs of hungry eyes

closely monitor Gohan's power, but why?

A conspiracy is brewing, today on Dragon Ball Z!

Wanna see me turn into a Super Saiyan?

Fine! I'll do it!

Just remember, you asked for it!

Goku, I got a bad feeling about this...

I think Gohan's in trouble.

Listen, the instant Gohan transforms,

I'm certain Spopovitch and Yamu will try to attack him.

[GOKU] Hm?

[SUPREME KAI] But as I've already told you,

you must not try to help him!

I don't know what you're after,

but Gohan can take care of himself.

He doesn't need any help from us.

Yes, of course...

What makes you so sure

that those two are going to attack Gohan?

[SUPREME KAI] Spopovitch and Yamu are not yet aware

of it, but Gohan is the one they are searching for...

Don't worry. They don't want his life--only his energy.

Energy?

[VEGETA grunts]

[VEGETA Hey!

Last chance for requests!

Do you just want to see a Super Saiyan,

or should I take it up to the next level?!

What's that?

There's a level beyond a Super Saiyan?

[GOHAN grunts]

[GOHAN yells]

[GOHAN growls]

[BOTH gasp]

[GOHAN grunting]

[CROWD gasping]

[GOHAN yells]

[VIDEL gasps]

[CROWD gasping]

Hey, look! Yamu!

[YAMU growls]

All that energy! It's him!

You're kidding! Is this for real?

Gohan is the Gold Fighter?

Impossible!

Ah! He's the Great Saiyaman AND the Gold Fighter?!

Boy, he sure is talented, huh?

[Oh wow, uh... he's strong...

[CHICHI] That's my boy! See?! Didn't I tell you?! Huh?!

Now come on, you guys! Let's hear it for Gohan!

Go, Gohan!

There, now you know what I can do!

Is this good enough for ya?

What happens now? Should I start fighting?

[KIBITO thinking] What enormous energy...

He is far stronger than I expected...

[VEGETA] Bah! Gohan had a lot more power when he fought Cell.

I think your son has gone soft

in these peaceful times, Kakarot.

You may be right, but he is still the strongest fighter

at this tournament.

The only question is, will it be enough?

[GOKU] Hm?! For what?

What does he mean?

[PICCOLO whimpers]

What's the matter? C'mon, fight me!

[GOHAN] What are you waiting for?

A written invitation?

Hey, hold on! Golden Boy, there! I remember seeing that kid

when Mr. Satan was fighting Cell!

Yeah, man, I think you're right. It's gotta be him!

Come on! Let's get him!

Make sure you hold on to him and don't let go!

Do you understand?

Right!

[SUPREME KAI] There!

Hold on! We've got company!

[SUPREME KAI yells]

[GOKU gasps]

What did you do?!

[GOHAN grunting]

[GOHAN screams]

[SPOPOVITCH & YAMU laugh, GOHAN screaming]

They're killing him!

Trust me... He'll be fine.

Gohan!

[KRILLIN grunts]

Hey, let me go!

[KRILLIN grunting]

I told you, you must stay back!

[GOHAN screams]

Make sure you get all of it, Yamu!

[SPOPOVITCH laughs]

[screaming continues]

[SPOPOVITCH laughs]

[KIBITO thinking] It's almost over, Gohan... Hold on...

Th... Th-That's my head...

[CHICHI] Hey, stop that you creeps!

What are you doing to my son?! Leave him alone!

[VIDEL growls]

No! Gohan!

[VIDEL screams]

Let me go! Gohan's in trouble! He needs help!

Stay here! Gohan will be fine, Videl.

Goku? Please, help him!

Please!

[SUPREME KAI] Gohan is in no danger.

Are you sure?

[GOHAN screams, SPOPOVITCH & YAMU laugh]

[GOHAN screams]

[GOTEN] My brother's in trouble!

How come nobody's helping him?

And where's your dad?

[GOTEN] We gotta save him!

[TRUNKS yells]

[GOTEN] Let me outta here, Trunks!

I gotta help him! Gohan!

[YAMU laughs, GOHAN screams]

Yes! Now we have all the pure energy we need!

Let's go!

[SPOPOVITCH chuckles]

[SPOPOVTICH laughs]

That was easier than we thought!

[SPOPOVITCH laughs]

[ANNOUNCER whimpers]

[GOHAN whimpers]

[SUPREME KAI] Don't move!

All of you stay where you are!

Kibito will take care of Gohan now.

He has no need of your assistance.

At least tell us what you're gonna do with him?

It's time!

I must follow them and find out

where they are taking Gohan's power!

You're leaving?!

I could use your help...

I understand if feel you have to stay here...

But I must go.

Erasa! What in the heck is going on?

What? I don't know! I was going to ask you...

[CHICHI whimpers]

My poor boy!

You're going, too? Are you crazy?!

I don't think I have much choice!

The Supreme Kai gave us his word that Gohan would be okay,

and I believe him!

So, unless I go with him, I'm never going to know

what's going on around here!

[running footsteps]

[GOHAN whimpers]

[VIDEL gasps]

Gohan! Don't move... You're gonna be okay. Hey!

Get a stretcher over here!

[ERASA] Am I seeing things again?

Is that Videl down there?! What's she doing?

She's all fixed!

Sharpner, pinch me so I know this isn't a dream.

Ow!

I can't say I like it...

But... if you're going, then I'm going, too.

Oh, I know I'm gonna regret this...

All right. Let's do it!

[KRILLIN gasps

Oh, I better tell my wife where I'm going,

or she'll kill me!

[GOKU] Huh?

[KRILLIN] I'll catch up with you, Goku!

[VEGETA growls]

I know what you're doing, Kakarot!

You're trying to skip out on our next match, aren't you?!

Vegeta... Can't you see

that there's something more important going on here?

You listen!

After the next two matches, we are scheduled to fight!

And you will fight me!

So if you leave, you had better make sure you come back!

I only entered this stupid tournament so I could beat you!

Okay, okay! Take it easy, Vegeta.

I have to go with the Supreme Kai, but I promise

I'll put you at the top of my "things to do" list

when I get back. Just try and relax, will you?

[VEGETA growls]

You forget!

You can only stay for one day in this world!

I guess that slipped my mind, but listen,

why don't you come with me?

[VEGETA growls]

We're wasting time here!

Okay!

Kibito, will you promise to take care of Gohan for me?

You have my word.

And as soon as he is healed, I will follow after you.

Gohan, I presume, will want to do the same...

[VEGETA growls]

I'm right behind you... Kakarot.

[FRIARS] Hup, hup, hup...

[KRILLIN] So you see, without my help, they're toast!

If your friends need you, then go.

But I've got a tournament to win.

Oh yeah! Right!

Good luck with your match and I'll see you when I get back!

[ANDROID 18] Hmph.

[KRILLIN] So long!

Krillin, you be careful out there!

[KRILLIN laughs]

[KRILLIN] You got it!

Where did everybody go?

[KIBITO] Quiet. You must stay still.

[FRIARS] Hup, hup, hup, hup...

[FRIAR A] We'll take it from here.

[KIBITO] No, you will not.

Ah! What? But he's been stabbed, sir!

[KIBITO growls]

[FRIARS gasp]

O-Okay, he's all yours!

[KIBITO growls]

[GOHAN grunts]

[growling continues]

[KIBITO thinking] I don't know how long it will take

for him to regain his full strength...

He has lost an enormous amount of energy!

It's hard to believe a single Earthling can possess

so much pure energy.

It's no wonder they were so eager to obtain it!

[TRUNKS] What's the deal, Goten?

Did your brother lose the match or what?

I don't know? He got hurt!

I know... But why did your dad take off?

[GOTEN] Don't know! I want to go see!

Get off me, Trunks! Lemme outta here!

[KIBITO grunting]

[KIBITO sighs]

That should do it, Gohan.

[FRIARS squeal]

Gohan!

Do you feel better now?

I feel even stronger than I was before.

Hey! What did you do?

If you come with me, I'll tell you everything.

Hey, tubby. Do you know where my daughter is?

Yep! I do. She's right over there, sir!

[MR. SATAN] Oh great!

She's with that skinny kid again!

Gohan, what's going on?

I'm not sure, Videl.

[MR. SATAN growls]

Darn! I gotta figure out a way to keep that punk kid

away from my daughter!

[VIDEL] Insane...

I know...

[MR. SATAN snarls]

[MR. SATAN screams]

[grunting]

Is it okay if I come with you, Gohan?

Uhh...

Please let me come. I can help you guys out. Okay?

No, you better not.

I have a feeling something bad's gonna happen.

And I don't want you to get hurt.

[VIDEL] Oh please, Gohan! I'll be careful!

If you don't let me go, I'll just follow you anyway!

[MR. SATAN] Videl!

Get away from that scrawny punk right now!

If things get tough, you promise me that you'll get out of there?

[VIDEL giggles]

Alright then. Let's go.

Thanks, Gohan.

[CROWD gasps]

My... Videl is flying?! C-Come back!

[MR. SATAN whimpers]

[MR. SATAN] Where'd she learn how to do that?!

So she can fly. What's the big deal?

I blame myself! I know I should be more strict with her!

Whoa! It's no wonder she's flown the coop!

[MR. SATAN growls]

Oh, be careful Gohan.

[ANNOUNCER] My beautiful tournament...

What am I going to do now?

Majin Buu will be resurrected with this power...

Babidi will be very pleased with us!

[SPOPOVITCH] Uh-huh!

[WOMAN A] Is the competition over?

What happened?

[MAN A] I don't know, dear.

They just keep showing Mr. Satan!

[TOWNSFOLK scream]

[WOMAN B] Hey, my hat!

[GOKU] Hey! Wait!

I'm glad you decided to come.

And thank you.

Without all of your help,

I would not be able to defeat them!

You need us? To beat those two?

No, it's not Spopovitch and Yamu that concern me...

It's the wizard controlling them.

[PICCOLO] Huh? A wizard?

[SUPREME KAI] Yes.

Long ago, at a time when the human race

was still in its infancy here on Earth...

a powerful wizard from the distant edge of the universe

named Bibidi, first appeared...

With him, he brought a terrible monster

of his own creation, whose sole purpose was to detsroy...

The name of that monster was Majin Buu.

[GOKU] Buu, huh? So what did this guy do?

[SUPREME KAI] Majin Buu had no feelings or conscience.

He was designed as an instrument of fear and terror.

His single desire was to eliminate all living things.

And he was very good at it!

[VEGETA chuckles]

[SUPREME KAI] With Majin Buu under his control,

Bibidi set about the systematic destruction

of all life in the universe.

Hundreds of planets were reduced to rubble.

Entire galaxies were erased from existence.

No force could withstand his evil power...

[VEGETA thinking] This Majin Buu sounds like

he would have made a decent Saiyan...

No, you're wrong Vegeta!

[VEGETA gasps]

There were five Grand Kais at that time,

each one a thousand times more powerful

than the one you called Frieza.

When they fought Buu... only one survived.

[VEGETA growls]

He would have wiped out your entire Saiyan race

with a breath. Just like so many others...

Whoa! Not good.

[VEGETA thinking] Why didn't someone tell me

he could read minds?!

In time, Majin Buu became so powerful

that even Bibidi had difficulty controlling him.

[GOKU gasps]

Whenever he needed to rest,

Bibidi used a spell to seal Majin Buu inside a ball,

where he would lay dormant until the counter-spell was invoked.

[KIBITO] Bibidi used this spell to transport

Majin Buu from planet to planet.

The ball was brought here.

The Earth was intended to be Majin Buu's next target.

No... That's terrible!

Obviously this action was prevented,

but the ball that contains Majin Buu

remains here on Earth to this day...

Yes... The Supreme Kai could have destroyed him...

He chose to leave him hidden.

[GOHAN] I don't get it.

Why didn't he destroy him when he had the chance?

Because Majin Buu is no threat

as long as he is confined to that ball.

And until now, we thought Bibidi was the only one

who could release him.

Until now?

It would seem that we have discovered another...

Bibidi had a son...

He's here on Earth.

Huh?!

Bibidi named his son Babidi. At any cost we must stop him!

But what is he gonna do?

He intends to continue his father's work.

He's going to release Majin Buu!!

[NARRATOR] At last, the source of Spopovitch and Yamu's

inhuman power has been revealed: the Wizard Babidi!

Who, unless the Z-Fighters can stop him,

intends to unleash a monster that will eradicate the Earth!

The Supreme Kai has witnessed the destructive force

of Majin Buu before...

Can he prevent it from being released once again?
