Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

the fearsome duo of Babidi and Majin Buu took off,

seeking revenge for Piccolo's failed attempt

to end the dark wizard's life!

Buu's penchant for annihilation

caught even his master off guard!

Yet, the reckless destruction left in their wake

is merely a sample of what the evil twosome

has in store for the Z Fighters,

whose defenses have been severely thinned!

With Vegeta dead and Gohan missing in action,

it seemed the world's only hope for survival

would be Piccolo and Krillin--

at least until Goten and Trunks recover.

[NARRATOR] But then Goku, after being knocked out by Vegeta,

finally arose, along with the Z Fighters' chances for victory.

Unaware of recent events,

Goku attempted to intuit the status of his teammates.

[GOKU] I can still sense Buu,

but I can't sense Vegeta or Gohan either! This isn't good!

How long was I out for? Too long...

Something's happened, something terrible!

It feels like Piccolo and Krillin are back in action!

They probably know what's been going on.

Gohan... I'm sorry I wasn't here for you.

[NARRATOR] Goku returned to the Lookout in search of answers,

much to the surprise of Piccolo and Krillin,

who had all but given up hope of ever

seeing their friend again.

Reunited, they must now find some way

to overpower the evil forces of Babidi and Majin Buu!

[GOKU] Hi!

He's real! He talks and everything!

[laughs]

[PICCOLO] We're unaware of the Supreme Kai's whereabouts,

though we faintly detect he's alive.

We'd just brought the little ones back here to recuperate,

when you showed up.

[GOKU] Gohan, Supreme Kai, even Vegeta, all gone...

What kind of monster are we dealing with?!

Majin Buu's power level continues to increase at a rate

unlike any enemy we've encountered before.

If we can't stop him from destroying this world,

there will be nothing to prevent him from wiping out

every last trace of life in the universe.

Don't be such a downer, Piccolo,

of course we can stop Buu now that Goku's alive.

Sorry! The halo! What I meant to say is that you may be "dead",

but at least you're not dead-dead,

like Vegeta and Gohan.

Oh! Stupid, Krillin, think before you speak!

Goku, you're the only one left who can take on Majin Buu.

So what are you waiting for? Him to shove his pudgy,

pink face up in yours?

Come on, show that creep a little of the ol'

--Ka-me-ha-me-haaa! --Krillin.

It's impossible, I just can't beat him alone.

Huh?! But why not?

He's simply too powerful an opponent.

E-Even for you?

Look, when Vegeta and I were fighting,

the two of us were evenly matched.

He gave it everything he had,

even his life, and he still couldn't beat that thing.

So what chance do I have against him?

[ALL gasp]

If you can't, what hope do we have? Goku...

[GOKU] If only Vegeta hadn't been so arrogant!

Thinking he could take on Buu alone...

He'd still be alive and we could work together!

No. Don't punish yourself like this!

It wouldn't have made any difference.

Not even an army of Super Saiyans could have--

[GOKU] I was going to say that if

Vegeta or Gohan were still alive,

we could've done a fusion!

Uh? Fuchsia? Like the color of my shirt, sort of?

No, fusion.

[gasps] Fusion? You mean a merger?!

Yeah, that's it, Dende!

Oh, I've heard of such a skill, back on Namek.

A man from Metamor once told me about it.

Their people are quite proficient at the technique.

That's true! The Metamorese I met in Other World

are the ones that showed me how to do it!

So what is it, already?!

It's an ancient merger art that can be performed between

two people of similar size and physical ability.

You wanna try that again?

It's when two people combine to form an entirely new being

that's able to do things neither could do alone.

Like stopping an evil creature

that's out to destroy the world and everyone in it.

[gasps]

Now that I think about it,

you and Nail were a sort of fusion, too, weren't you?

[PICCOLO] Mm-hmm. Yes, we were, of a sort.

[PICCOLo] Nail had been badly wounded by Frieza

when I found him.

He was dying. And as his final act,

he wished to impart his powers to me.

I was reluctant to join with him at first,

but his promise of greater power proved...

quite persuasive.

[PICCOLO grunts]

[PICCOLO] When it was over, Nail's body had vanished,

though I could still sense his presence in me.

I felt his strength and his wisdom,

so fresh and invigorating,

yet familiar, as though it had been at my fingertips all along.

I stood up, reborn, knowing that I was fully capable

of avenging Nail by taking on Frieza,

or any other villain that dared to cross my path.

Wow. Unreal. My gosh.

This is amazing! I feel incredible!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I can win! I feel great! I can do this! Yes!

[PICCOLO] Yes! I'm home! I'm alive! This is all a miracle!

I'm awake! I'm wide awake!

[PICCOLO laughs]

[GOKU] The Namekian fusion that you experienced, Piccolo,

is actually quite different from the Metamorese variety,

Which is the process I learned in Other World.

The way I know is only temporary,

and instead of one body playing host, a new hybrid is formed,

made up of characteristics from both people.

They transform into a single warrior,

capable of incredible power and strength!

Yes, that is different.

But it seems the end result is the same.

I know when I fused with Nail,

my power increased exponentially.

So if Gohan or Vegeta were still alive,

you could perform one of those temporary fusions with them,

couldn't you?

And then in your new form,

you would have been able to defeat Majin Buu.

Nah, it probably wouldn't have worked out so nicely

even if Gohan or Vegeta were alive.

It would take about a week to show them what to do,

but I'm only here on Earth for this one day,

not to mention that even though I know how

these fusions work in theory,

I've never taught somebody else how to do it.

And believe it or not,

I've never actually been able to try out a fusion in practice.

No one in Other World is similar enough to me to be compatible.

[groans]

[DENDE sighs]

[growls]

So yeah, so much for that! It was just a crazy idea!

[KRILLIN] Wait, Goku! No it's not!

[GOKU] What are you thinking about, Krillin?

You said you're about to go back to the Other World, right?

And if Gohan and Vegeta are really dead,

then that's where they must be too, correct?!

So you can do a fusion with them when you get back there!

Oh, right! Now that's a great idea!

Impossible. Once Goku leaves this world

he won't be able to return.

The fusion would still do us no good.

[BOTH sigh]

The young ones, sleeping.

Goten and Trunks are almost exactly

the same size, aren't they? Could they do a fusion?

Is that possible?

Yeah!

Thank you, Mr. Popo! You know, that just might work!

[gasps]

Really, Goku?!

Mr. Popo, I love you! You're a genius!

Let's all give it up for Mr. Popo, the genius!

But Goku, do you think there's enough time to teach them?

No. I'll work with them as long as I can,

but they're gonna need more time than I've got.

Someone else will have to pick up the slack.

Piccolo, do you think you'll be able to finish

instructing the boys after I've gone?

I'll try.

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Goten and Trunks will show Majin Buu who's boss!

He won't even know what hit him!

[PICCOLO] Not so fast, Krillin.

Huh?

According to Goku, it will take some time

before they've mastered the art of fusion

and are ready to make their attack.

Meanwhile, many innocent people

will be lost in the wake of Majin Buu's destruction.

I'm talking about total annihilation.

Everything and everyone on this planet, wiped out.

It's a gamble.

So we must prepare ourselves for anything that comes our way

until the boys have mastered fusion and are ready to go.

You're right,

but I'm confident these two can learn how to do this.

And we can always use the Dragon Balls

to clean up the damage at the end.

[KRILLIN] You think we still have a chance?

We can't ever give up hope, you guys.

And right now,

Trunks and Goten are the world's best hope.

We should know by now not to underestimate the young--

especially when they're a couple of Super Saiyans.

[BABIDI] Ah, Buu! So many places to blow, people to scream!

[BUU giggles]

[BABIDI] Buu?

[thinking] He's a smooth flyer,

but as a conversationalist, he's sort of a bum.

[BABIDI] Hel-lo.

Buu?

[BABIDI] Ah yes, this location is full of potential!

Or should I say, "was" full of potential.

[BABIDI giggles]

[RIDERS scream]

[BUU squeals]

[BABIDI] Wait! Buu! What are you doing?!

We're not here for your amusement!

We're here for mine! Stop!

I'm not wearing a safety belt! [screams]

[BABIDI] No, no, not the loop!

[BABIDI screams]

[BABIDI] Stop, Buu! I don't like this ri--!

[screams]

[BABIDI] I command you to stop!

If you don't save me fast,

I'll put you in your shell until the next ice age passes over!

I can't fall! Geniuses like me are highly breakable!

Cool puppets.

They're way life-like!

Your playtime... is over!

[BUU grunts]

[RIDERS scream]

[BUU] Buu!

Bulma, why don't you just get it over with and summon the dragon?

Does he just pop up out of them?

She may have a pretty enough face,

but her skull sure is thick!

Mind your manners, Oolong.

Not everyone is as worldly as you.

Videl, just keep your eyes on the balls.

I'm not so naive, you know.

I've just never seen a magical dragon before.

Okay, now do you remember the spell to release him?

You know all the words?

Of course,

I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up, Yamcha!

Bulma, I think Frieza failed

because he wore too many clothes!

--[PUAR sqeauls] --[OOLONG yells]

Hey, now! Put it to rest will ya?!

Now's not the time for your shenanigans! Chauvinist pig.

So, there's a spell involved, huh?

Oh, I guess that would make sense.

Bulma, go ahead, dear.

Call the dragon so we can wish all those poor people

who your Vegeta destroyed at the Tournament today back to life.

That is the plan.

Eternal Dragon, by your name I summon you forth! Shenron!

[gasps]

[KRILLIN] All right, I'm gonna go get everybody

and bring 'em back here.

[PICCOLO] Good.

[GOKU] Take care, Krillin!

[ALL] Huh?

[KRILLIN] Is it Daylight Savings Time already

and someone forgot to tell me?!

Oh no, why has it suddenly gone dark?!

Not good.

Someone's released Shenron! Who and why?

My money's on Bulma.

Who else could gather those Dragon Balls so fast?

But she can't know about everything that's happened.

So why call the Dragon now?

[gasps] She knows Vegeta slaughtered a lot

of innocent people at the martial arts stadium today!

Bulma must be trying to bring them all back to life!

Oh no! That'll ruin everything!

Once two wishes are fulfilled,

we'll have to wait a whole year before we can make another one!

[gasping]

[GOKU] All right, then. I'll just have to go and stop her.

[GOKU using telepathy] Bulma? Bulma?!

Bulma, where are you?

Darn! Bulma's life-force is difficult for me to trace.

Everything feels just so clouded right now on Earth.

[SHENRON growls]

Ah! I'm dreaming...

This can't be real, can it?

[CROWD gasping, screaming]

You who have disturbed me from my slumber,

speak and name your first wish.

[VIDEL] I think that... I'm going to have to faint now.

[SHENRON] You try my patience! Speak!

[BULMA] Hmm, now how exactly should I phrase this wish?

[YAMCHA] I thought you had this figured out!

How about, "Bring everyone who died today back to life!"

Except for all the really, really bad ones!

Will that do, Bulma?

That'll do.

Oh man, can people actually be brought back

from the dead like that?

It has been set in motion! Now, name your second wish!

[gasping, muttering]

[gasps]

Ah! I've got her!

I must have your second wish now!

Did he say second wish?! Oh no, I'm too late!

Huh, Goku?!

Goku?!

Goku, where on Earth have you been?

[gasps, growls

And where is Gohan? And Goten?!

ChiChi, there's no time to explain.

Please trust me. Dende, can you hear me?

[DENDE using telepathy] Yes!

I arrived too late.

The dragon has already fulfilled their first wish

and now he wants to know what their second one is.

What should I do?

Then there is still hope.

Tell Shenron that you want to save

the other wish for another time.

If only one has been granted,

then we can use that wish again

when only four months have passed.

[GOKU using telepathy] All right, I'll take care of that.

Oh, and you guys. I can't believe I almost forgot.

I'm bringing you all back with me,

once I'm finished with my business here. So get ready.

[DENDE using telepathy] We'll prepare for your return, Goku.

Thanks. Shenron!

You don't have to grant any more wishes today. Thank you!

We'll call you again sometime!

As you wish. Farewell.

You wanna tell me what's gotten into you Goku?

We still had a perfectly good wish

we could have used to help!

[KIBITO thinking] I don't understand.

My body appears to be in perfect physical condition.

And this place, something's wrong.

I shouldn't be here! Wait...

I remember now. I was attacked by Dabura.

Now, let's begin.

[gasps]

Haaa...!

[KIBITO screams]

Have I been brought back to life? A miracle!

[gasps]

[KIBITO] The Supreme Kai! I must find and protect him!

Where could he possible be?!

Master!

[thinking] I must seek out help to prevent Majin Buu

from wreaking any more havoc. My only hope is...

As long as there's the slightest possibility that he's alive,

I still have a chance.

[SUPREME KAI thinking] Wherever you are, Gohan,

I hope to find you. And I hope to find you breathing.

For your sake, and for my own.

You are my last hope!

And that makes you, perhaps, the last hope of the universe.

[GOKU] So, there you go.

Now, if you'll all come back with me to the Lookout,

we can start making preparations.

That's fine,

I'll just have to track down seven Dragon Balls

again in four months, which shouldn't be any problem!

That's the spirit!

Now, everyone.

As long as you're connected to me,

we can all travel by "Instant Transmission!"

[VIDEL thinking] This is like some wonderful

fantasy land where, just when I think

it can't possibly get any weirder, it does!

[GOKU] Please remain standing in an upright position,

fastened to the person next to you.

[BULMA] Mom, Dad, what are you waiting for?

Hold onto my hand, quickly, or you'll be left behind!

Your mother and I just can't bring ourselves

to leave the little ones.

We'll wait here for your return.

[gasps]

Will you two stop being naive and open your eyes?!

Is it really worth risking both your lives

just to stay here and feed and clean

your stinking precious pets?!

Remember, even if we meet our horrible, tragic,

gruesome and grotesque end at the hands of this Majin Buu,

you can always bring us back to life with the Dragon Balls!

Don't try to argue, we've made up our minds.

But, Mom!

Goku! Say something!

Bulma, you're pretty good at finding Dragon Balls

when you really need to, so don't worry!

Oh, you don't want to transport with us, Videl?

Oh no, oh no, oh no! I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!

We're ready for liftoff!

[MRS. BRIEF] Shall we feed all of our little darlings now,

before it gets too late?

[DR. BRIEF] But, I'm hungry.

How very peculiar, Buu.

First it's day, then suddenly it's night,

then it's back to day again.

Hmm... [giggles]

Doesn't make much difference to me anyway.

Soon, my pet, there will be only permanent nightfall.

[giggles]

[NARRATOR] Dark skies loom ahead for the people of the world,

as long as the evil Babidi

and Majin Buu float among them.

Can anyone put a stop to their mission of terror?

Right now, the Earth's best chances for survival

lie resting in bed. When they awaken,

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?

will they be up to the challenge before them?
