Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] On the last episode of Dragon Ball Z,

Gohan mastered the Z Sword

and it was time to put the legendary blade to the test.

[GOKU] Here it comes!

[NARRATOR] And who better than Goku

to deliver a solid block of Katchin Ore,

the hardest known metal in the Universe.

[NARRATOR] But tragedy struck and the Z Sword

wasn't able to bear the strain of being handled

by the mighty father-son duo.

[NARRATOR] Impossible but true!

The greatest sword ever made was in pieces.

[NARRATOR] But mystically emanating from the sword,

after being trapped inside of it for untold centuries

was Old Kai, an ancient ancestor of Supreme Kai,

who claimed to have the ability to awaken

a person's sleeping powers.

Right!

[OLD KAI mumbles nonsensically]

[NARRATOR] And, with gusto,

he set out to do just that for Gohan.

But will it really work?

Meanwhile, Trunks and Goten had finally mastered

the form for the Fusion Technique

and they were ready to turn the concept into reality.

[MARON giggles]

[OOLONG] Stop trying to psyche me out!

[ROSHI] Just pick!

--[OOLONG grunts] --[ROSHI chuckles]

[OOLONG] You're using some of that

mystical master stuff on me, aren't you?

[BULMA] She's so cute!

[YAMCHA] Hey, guys.

[ROSHI] Hmm?

[VIDEL] What's up, Yamcha?

Well, it's fusion time.

Trunks and Goten have mastered the form.

So the boys are ready to give it a try, huh?

[KRILLIN] Cool! I say we all go watch.

[BULMA] Yeah, this should be interesting.

[MARON] Are Trunks and Goten one boy, Mommy?

[ANDROID 18] Not yet, sweetheart.

So, ah, if you could fuse together with somebody

and it could be anyone in the world, who would it be?

I mean, hypothetically.

Gosh, that's a tough one,

but I think I'd pick your old girlfriend Maron!

[laughs]

Right on! Bald and beautiful! So deadly!

Oh, dear!

What are we going to call our newly combined son, Bulma?

Huh?

Let's see. Goten and Trunks. What about Trunkten?

Hm. That's weird.

Maybe something like Gotrunks would be better.

Hey! Why are you racking your brain?

The fusion's only temporary.

It only lasts about thirty minutes or so.

True. But still, a name would be nice.

This oughta be good.

[GOTEN grunts]

[TRUNKS grunts]

[BOTH grunt lightly]

Hey, Trunks. Hold your power back a bit.

I can try. There.

Yes. That's perfect. Your levels are exactly the same.

Okay. Whenever you're ready.

[BOTH] Hm!

This is it.

Hm?

Mm!

Fuuuu...sion!

Haaa!

--[BULMA gasps] --[CHICHI] Aaah!

Mmhmm!

[KRILLIN exhales quaveringly]

[VIDEL] This is intense!

[GROUP screams]

[PUAR screams]

Haa... Mmm...

[OX-KING] ChiChi!

[ALL gasp]

[KRILLIN] Mm? Uuh!

[PICCOLO] Uuh?!

[KRILLIN] Is he supposed to look like that?

[YAMCHA] I, uh, guess so.

Wow! He's certainly well equipped, isn't he?

Yeah! That's a nice way to put it!

Hey! I think I get it!

He's supposed to look like that!

He's built like Majin Buu!

[groans]

[KRILLIN] A roly-poly body must help to regulate

the enormous power at that level.

That's why Buu has one.

No doubt! Yeah! Dig it! Check him out!

You've got the moves, baby! Yeah!

[laughs] All right!

This is so bizarre!

[groaning]

[YAMCHA] Oh, yeah! Speed test! Here we go!

[breathing heavily]

Huh?

[panting, wheezing]

[PICCOLO] I think I know what the problem is.

Huh?

Yeah. We goofed.

Um... Uh...

It's the form. Trunks made a slight error. He did this.

But he shouldn't have fully extended his fingers.

He should've done this.

All right! Got it?

Uh...

[PICCOLO] Good! Now go ahead and separate

so we can get it right.

Well, what are you waiting for? You heard me. Separate!

Ummm. But, I don't know how.

Huh? Oh, right. I see.

Hmmm.

Uh, well, Goku never showed us that part.

I guess we don't have a choice.

We'll just have to wait until the thirty minutes are up.

[KRILIN] Strange, but you're neither

Trunks or Goten, are you?

[ROSHI] You even have your own set of clothes.

[VIDEL] What does it feel like being one person?

Uh. Uh... Uh...

[YAMCHA] Hey, little buddy! Do you have a name?

Gotenks!

[laughs]

Wow! See, he does have his own name.

[GOTENKS] Look. I'm hungry.

I just want to eat and take a nap.

[MARON] He talks like Yajirobe, Daddy!

[KRILLIN chuckles] Yeah, he sure does.

Look!

[ROSHI laughs]

--[CHICHI] Goten! --[BULMA] Thank goodness!

[BOTH gasping]

Did we do it?

I don't know!

Guys! You did it! You fused! It was great!

[BOTH] Huh?

Uh. Don't you remember anything?

No.

Well, congratulations! You did it!

Yes! Bravo! Well done!

[PICCOLO] Look. We don't have time for idle talk, you two.

We've got a mission to accomplish. Got it?

Now let's get back to work!

But, good first try.

[YAMCHA gasps]

Good. Let's go.

[BOTH] Fuuuu-sion! Ha!

[grunts]

[GROUP gasps]

[CHICHI] Oh, no! I can't love that!

Why not? He's my age.

No, older.

His ribs are showing!

We need to beef him up or something!

[PICCOLO grunts] There'll be no beefing up.

We're going to wait thirty minutes and try it again.

And this time we're going to get it right!

[GOTENKS coughs]

This is going to be a long one.

Boys. Ready?

--[TRUNKS] Mm? --[GOTEN] Hm!

[BOTH] Fuuuuu-sion! Haaaa!

[GROUP screams]

Yes! You're doing it! Stay with it!

[GOTENKS grunts]

Whoa! It worked!

Wow! Feel that? What power! He's the one all right!

There's no doubt about it!

Wow, he's a cutie!

I think he favors Trunks a little bit.

Whatd'ya think, ChiChi?

The nose, yes. The eyes, no.

He's got fabulous energy.

Does it matter who he looks like?

But he does have Goten's hair.

[PICCOLO] Excellent! Thirty minutes from now

we'll try the fusion again.

Only this time you'll be Super Saiyans.

Uh, uh, ah! We're not doing this as Super Saiyans.

What?!

There's no need for it. We're strong enough as it is.

You little! How dare you! This is a team effort, got it?

That's a call that we all have to agree on,

and I don't agree!

It makes no sense to confront Buu unless you're

at your absolute maximum. Understand me?

Huh?

Yes. But you don't.

Look. You're scared. But Buu is nothing.

I will bring him back. Dead!

Uh?

[GOTENKS] See ya!

Wait! No! Come back!

[GOTENKS] Don't have a heart attack!

[MR. POPO] He's not listening!

Oh, good! He's close!

Thirty minutes should be plenty of time. All right.

This is gonna be fun.

[grunts]

Now that's fast. Whoa.

[PICCOLO] Darn it! If he gets killed now,

all of our efforts were for nothing.

Yeah. You're right. He's reckless for sure.

But I wouldn't be the least bit surprised

if he beat Majin Buu.

Me either. I betcha that little guy tears Buu up.

[PICCOLO] If we're lucky. But what if he doesn't?

[GOKU snoring]

[GOKU] Achoo!

Woo! Aw, man.

[groans]

[yawns]

Welcome back! Nice sleep?

Yeah. It seemed short though.

[SUPREME KAI] Yes. You were only out for two hours.

Oh! That's right! How's Gohan?

Are his sleeping powers awake yet?

[OLD KAI chanting nonsensically]

Eeh!

That's weird.

Yes, Goku. I think I know what you mean.

And we've still got three hours to go before the ceremony ends.

Hey. Son. Do your best!

My best! At what? Being a totem pole!

[OLD KAI] Ha-aaah!

[BUU] Eeeeh, hee, hee, hee! Touch down, Buu!

Errrrh! Uh? Huh?

Ohhhhh! Mmhmm! [laughs]

Buu play with boats!

[chuckles]

[ALL gasp]

Aaah! It's him! Buu!

[PASSENGERS screaming]

[BUU] Da, da, da, da, da! Da, da, da, daaaaa!

Buu!

--[PASSENGERS screaming] --[BUU laughing]

Buu make boat go bye-bye! Bye-bye!

[laughs]

[MAN 2] Somebody help me! Please! I can't swim!

Buu help?

Help! Please! Help me! Huh?

[grunting]

Thank you! Thank you so much!

[panting]

Aah! M-M-M-M-M-M-Majin...

--[MAN 2 babbles] --[BUU] Quiet! Mean man!

[MAN 2 yells]

[BUU] Buu make mean man dead!

[MAN 2 screams]

[BUU giggles]

[grunts]

[GOTENKS] If you're looking for the guy

who just turned you into a donut, that would be me.

Hello. You're going to wish that we never met.

[BUU] Buu no wish! Buu make boy dead!

[GOTENKS] No, no, no! Boy make Buu dead! Yes, yes!

[chuckles]

Buu?

Yeah, exactly! See, I'm way more powerful than you.

You're just a big overgrown pink doughboy.

Doughboy?

That's right. Ah-heh.

Haa-uh!

[GOTENKS yells]

[chuckles]

[GOTENKS grunts, yells]

[laughs]

[yells]

[GOTENKS] That fat tub is fish flakes

after a blast like that. Bummer!

I told Piccolo I'd bring Buu back dead.

Then I go and blow him to pieces.

Great. How am I gonna handle this one?

[splash]

[GOTENKS] What in the world? Buu's butt! And his legs!

Woo!

[laughs]

Mean boy call Buu fat! Buu blow steam!

Look, you're fat. There's no getting around it.

[grunts]

Buu make you dead!

Aaah!

Missed--uh!

[GOTENKS thinking] Man, that was fast.

He read me like a book.

[GOTENKS] Hey! Nice move, tubby!

He-heh.

[BUU grunts]

[GOTENKS] Aah!

[BUU] Buu hit mean boy!

[laughs]

[GOTENKS groans]

[GOTENKS] Aaah!

[groans]

[BUU laughs]

Now boy die!

[laughs]

[blasts]

Huh?

[COMMANDER] Majin Buu, you are under arrest.

Surrender immediately or we will open fire!

All right, men! Fire!

Hey! Are you crazy? Get the heck out of here!

You can't beat him!

[PILOT] Captain! Target is engulfed in flames!

[COMMANDER] That's it men! Keep it coming!

[COMMANDER] Wait! Cease fire! Target's on the move!

What? He's fine!

Uuh! Mean men! Mean!

No! Run! He's going to attack!

[bellows]

[PILOT yells]

Men! Retreat!

[yells]

[yells]

Woohoo! Buu go bang, bang!

Wow! He's alive!

[CHICHI] Did you do it, Gotenks?

[BULMA] Did you beat Majin Buu?

[GOTENKS] Not exactly.

He's a, heh, a little tougher than I thought.

[ALL] Uuuh!

[PICCOLO] So, you're back.

Serves you right!

You fool! You could've blown our only chance to win!

From now on we do things my way!

Tomorrow you're going to fight Buu as a Super Saiyan

and until then, we train!

Understood? Trunkten?

[MR. POPO] Actually it's Gotenks.

What?!

[MR. POPO] His name. It's uh, Gotenks.

[PICCOLO] His name is Mud as far as I'm concerned.

[OLD KAI chants nonsensically]

[NARRATOR] The Old Kai is a movin' and a groovin',

but will his efforts pay off?

Can the wizened sage really awaken Gohan's latent powers?

The question really is,

can Gohan wait another thirty hours to find out?

And after being beaten roundly by Majin Buu,

can Gotenks rebound and conquer

as a fused Super Saiyan?
