Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z,

Goku transformed himself into a Super Saiyan 3,

stunning his opponents,

the evil wizard Babidi and his forceful henchman, Majin Buu,

with his uncanny strength and ability.

It seemed as though the monster had finally met his match

in the form of the Super Saiyan 3.

But even at this intense power level,

Goku could not topple Majin Buu.

Although for the time being,

absolute victory was not Goku's goal.

[GOKU thinking] What's taking Trunks so long?

I can't go on fighting like this forever.

My energy's draining fast,

and Majin Buu just keeps coming back for more!

[NARRATOR] The Saiyan just needed to stall Majin Buu

while Trunks searched for his mother's Dragon Radar.

[TRUNKS] Hey, here it is! I found it!

Well, that's just wonderful, Trunks.

Now, we all have time for a relaxing lunch.

What is it with you and food? Gotta go, love ya!

[GOKU thinking] There he is. Good.

He's on his way back to the Lookout.

He must've finally found the Dragon Radar.

I guess it's time to wrap up my business here

so I can head back, too.

[NARRATOR] With Goku's task complete,

he powered down to his normal state,

and bid adieu to Babidi and Majin Buu.

[GOKU] See ya.

[BUU] Huh? Uh? Huh?

Don't just stand there floating.

Get your doughy pink body moving and find him right now!

[NARRATOR] But Majin Buu had had enough of being bossed around

and abused by Babidi.

The time had come for a mutiny.

[BUU] You teach me lots of good things,

but Buu think it time Babidi go bye-bye-bye.

[NARRATOR] Now there's a new master of evil on the loose,

and he's angry!

[BUU] Bye! Bye!

[BABIDI screams]

[BUU] You go bye-bye now! Bye-bye, Babidi!

No more tell Buu what to do! No more meanie!

Pull!

Ha, ha!

[cackles]

Woo! Ha, ha!

[cheering]

What's the matter? What's wrong, Dad?

Goku, what is it you're sensing?

[GOKU] It's Majin Buu. He's-He's...

[PICCOLO] He's what?

He's killed Babidi.

[GOTEN, KRILLIN gasp]

He killed him?!

Well, this is quite a surprising turn of events.

I had a feeling that he might.

They didn't really seem to get along.

So, what happens now?

Majin Buu has no one telling him what to do anymore.

There's no denying that Babidi was definitely the brains

of that particular operation.

[sighs] Maybe things will turn out happy after all, guys!

Yeah!

I'm not so sure.

The only thing we can do now is hope.

I promise, give them two days and they'll be ready to fight.

There's no need for you to destroy West City

or kill anyone else.

I'm asking, have some patience. They'll come to you.

Are they really strong?

Unbelievably.

[GOKU thinking] We can only hope.

[BUU] Buu so free! Buu so free! Like bird in no cage.

[laughs]

So free!

[BUU] What do Buu do first?

Buu have so much fun now!

No more Babidi tell Buu what to do.

Over there! Look fun!

Look like fun! Look like fun!

Over there! Fun!

Huh?

[yelps]

[DRIVER] Hey! Watch where you're goin', hot shot!

It's Majin Buu!!

[BUU thinking] This make Buu happy. Verry happy!

They look much like toys! Buu like to play with toys!

[inhales]

[screams]

[BUU giggles]

[inhales]

[CROWD screams]

[BUU] You go, Buu!

[laughs]

[CROWD screams]

[CROWD murmuring]

[BUU] Ready?

Set!

[can rattling]

[CROWD murmuring]

Go!

[BUU giggling, cackling]

[laughs]

[laughs]

Hm?

[shrieks]

P-Please!

Ooh!

[shrieks]

Help! Somebody, please help me! It's Buu!

P-Please, don't hurt me!

Hello girl, you think Buu sexy?

[yelps] What? Yes, I think you're very, very sexy!

Yay! Then give Buu smooch!

[screams]

Why you teasing Buu?!

--[screams] --You play with Buu feelings!

[BUU] Hm... What this?

So, Earth girls like boys pretty like this, huh?

How Buu s'posed live up to body image in magazine?

Ah, Buu know!

[gulps]

Baby!

[screams]

Oh no! Get away!

You girls don't know what you want!

How do you like candy?!

[screams]

[BUU] Mm-mm-mm!

Ah! Yes, yes. Very nice!

Buu like girls!

Buu so great! Now, do a flip! Ha, ha!

Boom! Boom!

[BUU cackles]

Buu can't wait to play with the strong guys!

That whole city! This is bad!

[growls]

He's even worse without Babidi!

[GOKU] Hmm. I guess it's just in his nature to cause destruction.

It's probably the only thing he's ever known to do.

No! Don't go making excuses for him.

There's no reason to demolish planets,

regardless of personality defects.

Don't worry, I'm fairly certain

we can keep him from wiping out the entire planet.

Buu seemed very eager when I told him

stronger fighters than me would be

facing off against him in two days. So...

...that buys us some time. But I can't help feeling bad

for all the innocent people down there who stand in his way.

But we can bring everything back to normal

with the Dragon Balls, right?

Perhaps, Krillin, but that doesn't do us any good

if the boys aren't prepared to fuse and defeat Majin Buu

in these next two days.

[GOTEN] Hm?

[PICCOLO] That should be our priority.

You and the boys are going to have to learn fast, Piccolo.

My time here on Earth is running out.

I have less than an hour.

Less than an hour?!

No, you must have more than that.

It hasn't been a full day yet.

Why do you have to leave so soon, Dad?

Please don't. I like you.

I like you too, Goten, but it seems Super Saiyan 3

is a level that can only be handled in Other World.

The living world has more rules than Other World,

and transforming takes too much energy.

So I got very, very tired.

Oh no! So that's why you seem so exhausted, huh?

A little fatigue and energy loss

is nothing Dende can't take care of.

No I can't. For this I have to return to the Other World.

[BABA] Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

Greetings, Goku. At the tone,

your time remaining on this Earth will be 30 minutes.

Baba, what are you-- Thirty minutes?! Ah!

Is that all the time I've got?

[BABA] At the tone, Goku -- beeeeeep!

Trunks had better hurry up. There's no time!

[TRUNKS thinking] Trunks is on the way, guys!

[GOHAN grunting]

[GOHAN thinking] The sword is an extension of my body.

Feel the sword.

Be the sword.

[grunting]

[grunting]

Don't hurt yourself, Gohan!

[panting]

Incredible!

Gohan's natural ability to handle the Z Sword

with such finesse is uncanny.

I've never seen anything quite like it, Master.

What did I tell you, Kibito? Gohan is the one!

Everything is going exactly according to my plan.

Soon enough, Gohan will be ready to slay Majin Buu,

and restore order to the universe.

[panting]

Don't wear yourself out, Gohan. Rest for a few minutes.

You've done so much, more than I even dared hope.

No, I still have a long way to go.

Huh?

[GOHAN thinking] I won't let them down again.

I may have been unprepared for Majin Buu before,

but I refuse to be defeated by him this time.

It's gonna take everything I've got,

but I'm willing to give that and then some.

I just hope that's enough.

Until then, all I can do is practice.

[KRILLIN, GOTEN grunting]

Goku, I've been meaning to ask you a question.

Go ahead.

When you went Super Saiyan 3...

Would it have been possible?

Could you have actually defeated Majin Buu once and for all,

if you really tried?

Well, I don't know.

I mean you have to admit that Majin Buu

is no ordinary opponent.

It might have been impossible for me to win.

Might?! Why didn't you at least try to

give him everything that you had?

Were you afraid of what would happen

if your body was destroyed on Earth?

No.

By all accounts,

I shouldn't even be here in this world.

It's not my place to do that.

This is their world, Piccolo.

Even if I did somehow defeat Majin Buu,

he wouldn't be the last villain to terrorize the Earth.

And then who would be prepared to save them?

Call me crazy,

but after watching those boys fight each other

at the Junior Division, I decided to take a chance.

[PICCOLO] So you're going to wager the world's future

on the shoulders of little children?

[GOKU] I think it's a pretty safe bet, don't you?

You've always been a hopeless dreamer, Goku.

Goku, I'm sorry.

Well, give him my regards when you see him in the Other World.

[GOKU] I'm sure that Gohan misses you very much, too.

He was always fond of you.

[GOKU] You were like family to him, Piccolo.

Hey! Heads up, guys! Trunks just flew in!

It's so good to see my little Trunks. You must be tired.

Mom! I'm fine.

[BULMA] Of course you are, dear. You're so grown up.

Here it is, sir! Confirm: Is this your Dragon Radar?!

Confirmed! Good job, soldier. Mission accomplished.

Thank you, sir!

Great! Now, thanks to Trunks

we can track down the Dragon Balls

and wish for everything to be brought back to normal.

When do we get to train for the fusion?

You guys didn't start without me, did you?

Of course we didn't. It takes two to fuse.

Ooh! Ooh! Wouldn't it be cool if I could fusion with myself

and become two of me? Huh, Dad?

[GOKU chuckles]

[laughs]

[GOKU, GOTEN, TRUNKS laugh]

[TRUNKS] I don't get it.

[GOKU] Goten! Trunks! We have to begin our training right away.

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Yes, sir!

[GOKU] Now, I don't have much time left,

so we're going to need to work hard and fast.

The fate of the world depends on your cooperation. Got it?

[BOTH] Sir, yes, sir!

Wow! What do you think got into them?

Well, maybe you can teach these kids

some new tricks after all, Goku.

Let's begin!

First, you two have to realign your energies with one another.

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Yes, sir!

Buu!

Target has been located and confirmed, Major.

This operation should be a piece of cake.

Preparing to launch missiles

once we get that freak in our cross-hairs.

Lock and load!

[BUU laughs]

Abort! Abort!

Buu want to play! Don't you want to play with Buu?

Okay, I think, uh, we managed to lose him back there--

Huh?

[screams]

[BUU] Peek-a-Buu!

That tickles!

[whimpering]

--Buu! --[PILOT screams]

[BUU grunts]

Wa-hoo-hoo!

Toys don't last long as used to.

[GOTEN, TRUNKS yelling]

It's amazing how great their powers are,

especially at such a young age, wow!

Trunks, Mommy's proud of you!

[GOTEN, TRUNKS yelling]

Great!

Your energies are perfectly matched. Just keep practicing,

otherwise you'll slip out of sync with each other.

Hey, you don't look so good, Goku. Even for you.

Thanks, but I'll be all right. Just a little tired.

Yeah, it's nothing, really.

[PICCOLO thinking] I've never seen Goku so weak before.

That Super Saiyan 3 transformation

must have really taken its toll.

[GOKU grunts]

Now, are you ready to attempt

the most difficult part of fusion?

It'll require a lot of patience,

and some real discipline.

--Well, yeah! --Yes!

Once you've matched your energies precisely,

you must strike a delicate series of poses together.

If either one of you is even the slightest bit off,

the fusion will fail.

Now, I'm about to teach you the exact moves.

So, pay close attention, 'kay?

Yes!

Yes!

To get it started,

the two of you will stand right next to each other.

Then go like this,

and make sure your arms are straight. Then you say:

Fu... You'll approach each other with outstretched arms,

moving exactly three steps over,

and once you got that you say...

...sion!

Quarter turn and watch the angle of your knee.

Ha!

Now watch! Point your fingers parallel,

and don't forget the angle of your legs! It's very important.

This might be a bit tough.

[BUU] Boooooooooooom!

[NARRATOR] Without anyone to keep him under leash,

Majin Buu has become even more dangerous than before!

Now, it's your turn to try, boys!

[BOTH] Yes!

[NARRATOR] Can Goten and Trunks really master

the complex art of fusion

before Goku has to return to Other World?

They'll have to,

if there's any hope of defeating Majin Buu.

But they'd better hurry.

Goku's time is running out,

and so is the planet's!

Don't miss the next exciting installment of Dragon Ball Z!
