[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z...

The efforts of Gohan and the Supreme Kai

to destroy the ball encasing Majin Buu proved useless.

[NARRATOR] And the magic creature that had lain dormant

since human kind's infancy was unleashed.

[NARRATOR] Both sides were perplexed when nothing appeared

from the ball but a barren cloud of smoke.

Sighs of relief were short-lived, however,

as the spiraling cloud soon took

the shape of the bizarre Majin Buu.

Buuuuuu!

[NARRATOR] Make that very, very bizarre...

Pudgy, pink, and with a wide grin

that seemed incapable of leaving his face,

it was easy to doubt Buu's label

as the single-greatest threat to the universe.

Awww...

[NARRATOR] But despite doubts from Gohan and the others,

the horrified Supreme Kai was certain

this was the Buu of the past.

Yes, that's Bibidi's creation without a doubt.

I could never forget that disgusting creature's face.

Buu!

[NARRATOR] Long ago, Majin Buu was responsible

for the destruction of entire galaxies...

But what is the extent of his power now?

Could a creature so simpleminded and childish

really pose a threat to the battle-hardened Z Fighters?

Buu! [giggles]

[NARRATOR] Gohan stands ready to face this new threat,

while Dabura and Babidi, after their long struggle

to resurrect a creature they'd never seen,

remain speechless at its curious result.

[NARRATOR] Is it possible that Buu's strength

has weakened during his centuries in captivity?

Has he become outdated in his time away?

Or is there still some unknown horror hiding behind that smile?

Buu!!

[pants]

[grunts]

Uh... Huh?

[GOKU] Vegeta, wait!

Uh?

There, I felt that power surge again.

Huh...? [pants]

We know that it's Majin Buu.

What we don't know is how the others are faring against him.

[pants]

[snickers]

[VEGETA laughs]

It's as I thought, there is nothing to worry about, Kakarot.

This Majin Buu has been revealed as a weakling.

At least, by the measuring bar you and I have set.

[VEGETA] Is it too hard to understand, clown?

The Saiyan race has evolved

since that creature was entrapped!

Think of what the Supreme Kai said!

He's been constantly surprised by our strength!

On Babidi's ship we conquered what were supposed to be

the strongest fighters in the universe,

and we barely broke a sweat!

Think about it Kakarot.

We Saiyans have taken a ruling place in the universe

that even its greatest overseer couldn't predict.

And Majin Buu may have ruled in his time

but now he's sorely outclassed.

You're... wrong... I can... feel something deeper inside him.

Enough of your feelings!

You're just stalling because you know I'm going to beat you!

No Vegeta, I know you can sense the same thing.

[GOKU] You're just too proud to admit it.

[BUU hums]

[BABIDI giggles]

Look at my face, Buu!

I'm the son of Bibidi, your creator! See?

You can call me the Great Wizard Babidi or just Wizard or Master,

since that's what I am to you now!

Hmmm?

[chuckles]

[nervously] See if it weren't for me you'd still be trapped

inside of that ball forever!

Eh... Uhhmm...

[giggles nervously]

[BUU] Hmph!

[shocked] Nyaaa?

Hey... What's the meaning of that, Buu?

You can't turn your back on your master like that!

At least give me a proper greeting! Turn around!

I command you!

[BUU grumbles]

What's wrong?

Is something incorrect with your body, Buu?

Hahahahaha!

[pants]

[growls] He is but a fool!

[GOHAN] What's happening over there?

Is he playing with them?!

What nerve!

It is difficult to say why.

But his revival has clearly been incomplete.

I had great hopes for this Majin Buu.

But this deformed version is nothing

but an idiot and a waste.

Hmm?

Oh, what's wrong? Do you have a problem with what I've said?

Buu!!!

Huh?

Pow! Pow! Pow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! POW!

A pity; he's not even aware enough to know he's outmatched!

Run along Buu! Or shall I turn you into stone?

Guess Babidi made a real mess out of reviving him.

He's acting like an infant.

There has been no mistake, Buu has always been this way.

Huh?

[steam whistle]

Huh?

Hmm?

[snickers]

Aaa!

[chuckles]

My, what a charming trick.

[gasps] Owww!

[gasping]

[groans]

Whoaaaaaaa!

[BUU giggles]

Buu! That was just fantastic!

[BABIDI] Oh, did you see the way he bounced!

Why, I think you may have killed him!

That's wonderful!

You're every bit I knew you'd be! Every gorgeous bit!!

[GOHAN] His... his power!

It was like he reached into a well of energy that doesn't end!

But it felt, empty!

I just don't know how to describe it!

You had to have felt that one, Vegeta.

I don't think we can take this guy for granted.

Not anymore...

[TRUNKS] Huh?

[GOTEN] Ah!

Hey, did you feel that too Goten?

It's like it went straight to my belly.

Uh-huh.

Uh, I wonder if that's what evil feels like?

Yeah... So should we go there?

Well let's think this through, Goten...

That way feels scary, so it's probably more fun.

I bet it's where that Buu monster is!

Yeah! And if he's a real live villain

I want to see what he looks like!

Yeah!

[TRUNKS] Last one there is a monkey brain!

--[GOTEN] Hey!! --[TRUNKS laughs]

[MR. SATAN sighs]

Hmmm...

[thinking] Oh man, what on earth happened out there today?

[MR. SATAN thinking] Those were the guys, I know it!

The ones from seven years ago.

But, I thought they were gone, or dead,

or at least staying away from tournaments.

Heh heh heh heh...

[MR. SATAN thinking] And that one fellow...

How could he have done that?

He killed those people--- My fans!

And with some kind of explosion trick.

It was just like Cell all over again!

[crowd screaming]

[snickers]

[thinking] I wonder if the whole thing was staged?

Some promotional gimmick that they didn't tell me about?

Hmph.

[thinking] It felt so real, though...

And one thing I know

is that real things usually mean something bad.

[REPORT A] Mr. Satan! Congratulations on your victory!

[REPORTER B] You were fabulous!

[REPORTER C] What will you do with the prize money?

[REPORTER D] Can you give us your angle

on what happened today?

[REPORTER E] Do you have a plan?

Heh. Well you know I wouldn't keep anything from my fans!

Hahahaha!

Oh...

[ooos; ahhhs]

We don't have any time for this now Vegeta.

We're the ones who let Buu out of his shell!

It's because of us!

[VEGETA] Buu is just a side-show!

You are my only concern!

Everyone on Earth will be killed!

You hear me?! Bulma, Trunks, everyone!!

Shut up!!!

Shut... up!!!

Remember I've sold my soul to Babidi.

I keep no loyalties.

I have a Saiyan heart that depends on strength alone!

They're nothing to me!

Liar!

[gasps]

I don't... buy it!

Talk all you want Vegeta

but you better convince yourself of it first.

[VEGETA] Fine.

You win.

Our battle is postponed.

I want you at your fullest when we fight and you're obviously

too distracted by that ridiculous Buu.

Vegeta.

[VEGETA] Well don't just stand there, get out your Senzu Beans!

We should be at full power when we face him.

With all of us working together I'm sure we can beat this guy.

[VEGETA] So Kakarot, even you can prove helpless

when you drop your guard.

[VEGETA roars]

[VEGETA thinking] I'll take care of this Buu myself.

The last thing I need is for this clown to play hero again

and dangle it over my head.

We'll finish this fight when I return, Kakarot.

Enjoy your sleep.

And should your time run out before I'm done...

Heh heh. Then we'll have to continue this another day.

[VEGETA] When I see you in hell.

[BABIDI] Your revival was a complete success!

Now we mustn't waste a second. You must obey my every command!

With you as my tool this entire universe will be cancelled out!

Nyaaaa!

[growls]

Lalalala!

So, do you think it's wise to disobey me?

I'm well-versed in all my father's incantations, Buu.

I can put you back in that ball with a phrase if you like.

Buu?

[BABIDI] Now you don't want to be trapped

in there again, do you Buu?

Huuuuh?

Huh? Ohhhh! Hohohoho!

--[BUU] You master! --[BABIDI laughs]

--You! You! --Yes, I think this...

...arrangement will do just fine!

[GOHAN] Supreme Kai.

Buu's definitely strong but he's only acting

because he's afraid of getting sealed up.

If we could just take Babidi out of the picture...

There won't be anyone commanding Buu

and maybe we could control him!

We mustn't, Gohan!

Babidi is the only living being who knows

how to put Buu back inside his ball.

Without him we'd be doomed!

That creature might appear innocent,

but he has a deep-seated need for destruction.

Eventually, Babidi will lose control of him too.

When he does, he will be forced to seal him up again.

And that will be the time to strike.

I'm afraid we have no choice but to wait for that moment.

Unfortunately Gohan...

The two of us probably won't be the ones to make that move

as it looks like we will be the first in Majin Buu's path.

I'm sorry. This isn't the way it was supposed to be.

I was confident I could stop Babidi before Buu was revived.

If, only I had known.

If only I had watched this part of the universe more closely

and seen there were people like you whose physical strength

has the potential to far exceed my own.

Then the method might have worked.

What method are you talking about?

No, it's too late.

The two of us won't be able to escape Majin Buu

to carry it out.

We'll have to rely on Goku and Vegeta.

[GOHAN] Oh, listen to yourself!

Are you just gonna stamp dead on your forehead and give up!

[BABIDI] Your attention, please!

Huh?!

Here is my first command! Kill those two idiots.

And let's try to be quick about it, huh?

Huh?!

Ah!

[BUU] Buuuu!!!!

Huh?

[GOHAN] Come on!

Don't you worry! I'm pretty confident about my speed.

Hey what are you standing around for?!

You're letting them get away!

[coughing]

I sure hope he comes back.

[GOHAN] Well it looks like no one's behind us yet.

Huh?

[gasps]

Ah!

Laaaaaa!

How could he??

You drop dead!

[BUU giggles]

[NARRATOR] To the Earth's great misfortune,

it seems Buu's revival is a complete success!

He's put Gohan out of commission with a single blow,

leaving the Supreme Kai totally open to attack!

The losses are already starting, and the anger-blinded Vegeta

is the only Z Fighter still on his feet!

Does the side of good even stand a chance?
