[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z...

Majin Buu made a terrifying escape

from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber,

and set his sights

on the unprotected friends atop the Lookout.

[SUPER BUU] No more talk. I've heard too much of that.

Now, let's just eat.

[NARRATOR] With the same horrific method

he used to wipe out the people of planet Earth,

Buu transformed the remaining crew into chocolate,

and devoured them.

[SUPER BUU yells]

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile,

trapped inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber,

Gotenks ascended to Super Saiyan 3.

And using his newfound powers,

he forged his own amazing escape back to the Lookout.

Buu, you'll pay for each one!

[NARRATOR] And it's there that the battle raged on!

Piccolo could only watch in shock

as the hallowed Lookout was smashed into pieces.

[GOTENKS] Hold on to your socks, Majin Buu!

[NARRATOR] And Gotenks,

using the incredible powers of Super Saiyan 3,

was able to subdue the monster

with another peculiar technique.

[NARRATOR] But a giant blast of energy now shows

that the true struggle is only beginning.

Can the two best fighters left on Earth prevail?

[GOTENKS yells]

[PICCOLO yells]

[GOTENKS] Wow, check that out. Some light show!

Don't drop your guard just yet, Gotenks.

There's going to be more where that came from.

Arrogant jerk.

I'll give you something to smile about!

Try this.

[yells, grunts]

[PICCOLO] Slow down, Gotenks!

You'll destroy the entire planet!

Make up your mind.

Do you want me to get rid of this guy or not?

[PICCOLO] Of course, but not at the expense

of the planet you're trying to save!

The Dragon Balls are scattered all over.

Destroy even one of them and we can wish nothing back.

Oh, I forgot.

[GOTENKS] You know, I don't wanna

toot my own horn or anything,

but look at the size of that hole!

If he can still walk after that, I'll be really surprised.

[GOTENKS chuckles]

Huh? Oh, no!

Huh...?

[SUPER BUU growls]

The guy's barely even bruised. Man, this is getting old!

[SUPER BUU grunting]

[PICCOLO] No, Gotenks, look at him.

You did hurt him, but it's not his body that's suffering.

You've damaged his ego.

As a fighter, you're his equal.

He's never fought anyone as strong as himself.

[PICCOLO] This creature has never faced a true challenge,

and I suspect he doesn't know how to handle it.

[laughing]

You mean Majin Buu is a little scaredy-cat!

But how can you blame him?

He's up against the best fighter in the world,

don't you think?

Give me five more minutes with him and he's toast!

Do you even have five minutes?

Your fusion will not last forever.

Then he'll attack with unrelenting force!

I really doubt that!

He's too scared!

[laughs]

--[SUPER BUU grunts]

--[GOTENKS laughing] --[SUPER BUU grunts]

[PICCOLO] Ah! Watch out!

That boy should learn some modesty.

Fine then. You wanna fight dirty?!

Look at that kid! One tough fighter!

He's so resilient.

Finally, a warrior who can truly fight with Buu.

[thinking] This seems like it's taking forever.

Guess I just have to trust that this Old Kai

knows what he's doing.

[OLD KAI laughing]

[GOHAN thinking] I can't believe this.

[grunts]

[SUPER BUU groans]

[GOTENKS] Now for the clean-up crew!

[laughs]

[GOTENKS groaning]

--[SUPER BUU chuckles] --[GOTENKS groaning]

I'm hungry.

Gotenks!

[GOTENKS yells]

[screams]

[yells]

--[GOTENKS] Ah! --SUPER BUU yells]

Buu... you creep. You shouldn't have done that!

Control your anger, Gotenks.

[yells]

[bellows]

[yells]

[yells]

[PICCOLO grunting]

[GOTENKS groaning]

That really hurt.

[chuckles]

Take this!

Eeeh! [yells]

Look at him go!

Gohan may not have to fight after all!

Huh?!

[SUPER BUU groans, gasps]

[GOTENKS chuckles]

Now that you're worn out,

let me tell you what I'm gonna do.

First, I'm gonna cut you into tiny cubes.

Then I'll blast those cubes into ashes.

Sorry to have to tell you this,

but your time on this planet is over.

[gasping]

Power--

This is bad.

Uh, help?

[gasping]

[chuckles]

[GOKU] Oh, I was afraid of this.

The power was too high to sustain.

He's gone from Super Saiyan 3 back to normal.

[BOTH] Aah!

[GOHAN] Huh?

--[SUPER BUU] Boy? --[GOTENKS] Heh!

[GOTENKS chuckles nervously]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[grunts]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Now, normal fighting! My best trick yet.

[PICCOLO] No, we were so close!

The fusion's nearly over. Over!

Hey, you guys better hurry up.

Gotenks' Fusion doesn't look

like it's gonna hold up much longer!

I don't know how much we have left.

Ah, this is taking too long.

Oh, it's fine, you can go.

It should've been finished a while ago.

[gasps]

[ALL] A while ago?

Exactly, how long ago was my training complete?

Eh... maybe five or ten minutes.

I've been sitting around for ten minutes for no reason?!

People are fighting and dying right now,

we're doing nothing?!

Stay focused.

Now take that anger swelling inside you

and use it to your advantage.

Eeh!

[ALL gasp]

Okay, I will. But we've got to hurry!

[whimpers]

[GOTENKS] Hhheeeh!

[thinking] I guess when things get this desperate,

anything will do.

Here goes nothing!

Hmmm?

A Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!

[SUPERGHOSTS laughing]

[chuckles]

Just when you thought you were safe,

the superghosts come back even stronger!

Now! Superghosts! Get over there

and turn that guy inside out!

[SUPERGHOSTS] Huh?

[GOTENKS] Uh...

[SUPERGHOSTS chattering]

Stop flapping your lips! Get over there and attack!

[ALL holler, chuckle]

[ALL chuckle]

[SUPERGHOSTS yelling]

All right, it's time to run.

[GOTENKS groans]

[gasps nervously]

[exhales]

[gasps nervously]

[GOHAN] Now that my training is over,

how do I make sure what you did

comes through in my fighting?

Well, you just do that Super Saiyan thing

you always do and stop worrying.

It'll happen. Just make sure you let it.

All I have to do is become a Super Saiyan and believe.

Try believing someplace else!

[GOHAN yelling]

[bellows]

[yells]

[GOHAN bellows]

Take a look at that.

[panting]

I can't believe he couldn't have waited for me to move first.

This is awesome.

Hey Dad, are you checking this out?

[GOKU] I sure am! That's incredible, Gohan!

I'm so proud of you!

Perfect, Gohan has ascended past his previous limitations.

But look at him, he's... normal.

Incredible! He's stronger than he ever was as a Super Saiyan,

but he looks like he hasn't changed a bit.

I didn't know sitting still for a long time

could do that for you.

Hm, I'm the one who works hard and trains the boy,

and no one even bothers to help me up.

We should leave here immediately.

Gotenks can only stall Majin Buu for a short period of time,

so we have to get to Earth quickly for this to work!

Not us. Gohan will make his journey to Earth alone.

Huh?

What about my obligations?

I am completely responsible for that planet's fate!

Your going with him will not help his chances

of defeating Majin Buu, master.

Your presence would only present a danger

and impede his concentration.

I will take him back

and then return here to wait for the good news.

So what's the plan?

Time to go. And you will be traveling without me.

Kibito's right.

Good luck, Gohan.

I wish there was a way I could go with you.

But I belong here now.

Make your father proud, son.

I have faith that you can beat this guy.

Thanks, Dad.

This is the last time I'll get to see you,

until you make your journey over to this world.

[gasps]

You ready? Show him what a Saiyan's made of!

Yeah!

Okay, go be a hero.

I'm gonna do my best, Dad!

[OLD KAI] He left without saying a word.

Not a goodbye, not a thank you,

after all the work I did for him.

That's kids these days. No respect!

Now, you're on your own. The lone Saiyan.

[GOHAN] Hey, Kibito?

Yes?

I need your help. I wanna change clothes

but I don't have exactly what I want.

My father is the greatest fighter ever.

And I wanna fight in the same clothing as him.

Of course. You're quite respectful.

Now, explain to me exactly what the outfit looked like.

What color was it?

Uh, how 'bout the one he was just wearing.

That's the one. Thanks, Kibito.

Anything for a savior.

We anticipate great things to come from you, Gohan.

Please don't leave us, and the world, disappointed.

No way. I'm not gonna start disappointing people now.

All right, this is it.

Aah-uh!

[yells]

Let's not be too hasty!

[BOTH] You're dead! Huh?

Hey, wait! You're there!

The Fusion must be over!

[NARRATOR] It looks like Gotenks' powerful

fusion technique has come to an untimely end.

[SUPER BUU chuckles]

[NARRATOR] Now separated,

Goten and Trunks are no match for the fury of Majin Buu!

[NARRATOR] Their only hope,

and the only hope for all of planet Earth,

lies in the newfound abilities of Gohan.

After raising his powers to unheard-of levels,

he returns to his home planet as its hero once again.

But will he arrive in time to save Goten and Trunks

from the impending wrath of Majin Buu?

Find out, when Dragon Ball Z continues.
