[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z!

Using a strange sneak attack,

Majin Buu ensnared both Piccolo and the freshly fused Gotenks...

[NARRATOR] ...and absorbed them into his body.

Knowing he could not match Gohan's newly acquired powers

in his present state, Majin Buu opted for a transformation.

Incorporating the powers of Gotenks at Super Saiyan Three,

and the combat wisdom of Piccolo,

a new, Super Buu was created.

And because it merged Gohan's childhood teacher,

as well as his little brother,

it was a Buu who knew Gohan all too well.

[GOHAN gasping]

[SUPER BUU] What do you think of it?

New clothes, and a few new abilities.

[GOHAN] If you're using Piccolo's brains,

you know you've got thirty minutes

until this newfound strength of yours defuses.

[SUPER BUU laughs]

[SUPER BUU] I assure you, it will be over before then.

And I didn't absorb you because I needed a punching bag.

I kept you around because I'm stronger than ever,

and I have to try it on someone.

[GOHAN] Sounds fine, I'm all yours.

Let's do this.

[NARRATOR] And so the battle

with the newest incarnation of Buu began.

And where Gohan had previously

been in total control of the action,

he was now struggling with all of his might

just to stay alive.

[SUPER BUU] Remember, not so long ago, I was the one hiding.

I needed time to stall.

Is that what you're doing now, Gohan?

Your beloved Piccolo is a part of me,

and I can sense that you're alive down there, kid.

[NARRATOR] Will Gohan have to fight this battle

for Earth totally alone?

Find out now, on Dragon Ball Z!

[yelling]

[GOHAN grunting]

Come on, you're going to have to try harder than that.

[groans]

You're not paying attention to my moves.

Piccolo taught you better than this, didn't he?

Yes, he did!

[gasps]

[SUPER BUU] Could've been your head.

[SUPER BUU chuckles]

[SUPER BUU] And with all that training on the cliffs.

[GOHAN growls, groans]

I can't see what's happening.

Uh, Gohan's in top form,

but it's simply not going to be enough!

Gohan!

[GOHAN growls]

[GOHAN gasps]

[gasping]

[yells]

[GOHAN grunts]

[MR. SATAN groaning]

[DENDE] Oh no!

[sighs]

[SUPER BUU] Now that felt like a Piccolo technique.

[GOHAN groans]

[SUPER BUU] I really didn't think the Special Beam Cannon

packed that much of a punch.

[SUPER BUU] But maybe it's just that much stronger

now that it's coming through me.

What do you think of that?

Are you even awake?

[SUPER BUU chuckles]

[SUPER BUU] You're letting them down again.

[grunts, yells]

[GOHAN yelps]

I possess the greatest powers in the universe!

[groaning]

And I'll use them all to kill you!

[GOHAN groans]

[inhales]

[gasping]

[laughs]

[gasps]

[screams]

Did you see that?!

Majin Buu just burped up some kinda mini Buu!

What is that?!

How do you expect me to know?

[SUPERGHOST cackles]

Whoa, what the heck is that thing?

[laughing]

Die time!

Gohan, get out of the way! Don't touch him!

--[GOHAN yells] --[SUPERGHOST groans]

[SUPERGHOST laughs]

[GOHAN screams]

[BOTH groaning]

[SUPER BUU] You can thank Gotenks for that technique.

I know my little Superghost

could've spun a dozen different moves at you,

but you just keep making it so easy, Gohan.

It's kind of sad.

I almost feel guilty.

[coughs]

Ah...

There must be something you're still anxious to prove, Gohan.

How amusing.

[crying] Oh, please, don't let me be dead,

there's so many things I never did!

Am I alive? I'm alive! We've been saved!

[gasps, screams]

Where'd the puppy go?

[choking]

The whole world is depending on you,

you're the savior, and you're three breaths away from the end.

[GOHAN choking]

[SUPER BUU laughs]

[MR. SATAN] Where is he? Bee!

Over there!

[MR. SATAN] Huh?!

[BEE barking]

[screams]

[choking]

[GOKU] He can't keep this up any longer!

There's got to be something we can do!

That's an interesting point you make, Goku.

Perhaps we can help Gohan by sending you down to fight.

[BOTH gasp]

But, I can't go.

Yes, that's correct.

In his present state,

he's unable to return to Earth ever again.

You think I don't know that?

[SUPREME KAI] Huh?

I'll give you the life that's left inside of me.

Then you can make your return to Earth.

You mean you're giving up your life, for me?!

Venerable Elder, this is the most unorthodox behavior.

You can't just offer up your life

to handle a single situation.

As usual, you're missing the bigger picture.

After Earth, Majin Buu will come here.

If that is true, then let me give up my life!

What? No, master!

Majin Buu has been my enemy to destroy

since Bibidi, thousands of years ago,

and repeatedly I have failed.

You must allow me to pay my own debt!

You're ambitious, but too hard on yourself.

Let the old men sacrifice their lives

so that the young ones can live.

My dear Kai.

You're too kind.

[BABA] What is going on here?

Is this some kind of a joke?

No, far from it.

We're going to send the best fighter we have here

to help them fight Buu.

I want you to escort him there, Baba.

I will take care of the rest.

For the record,

you should know that this is a bad idea,

but if you think it will save the universe...

[VEGETA chuckles]

[VEGETA] The mighty King Yemma comes groveling to me.

Well the deal stays, regardless of the outcome,

and I don't plan to blow myself up for him again.

You're what we have.

You two must leave immediately if you're to make a difference.

Now, go.

Very well, sir. But does it have to be me?!

Baba, I won't take no for an answer.

I'm just saying, Majin Buu is really big and strong,

and look at me, I'm just a wiry old woman floating on a ball.

Enough!

Back to Earth, then.

So be it.

[VEGETA thinking] Kakarot, pity you won't be there to greet me.

[groaning]

[SUPER BUU laughs]

[GOHAN groans, sighs]

Good night, Gohan.

[SUPER BUU chuckles]

[SUPER BUU] Without your father holding your hand,

you really are nothing.

[BEE barking]

[growls]

[barking]

[yells]

[MR. SATAN grunting]

[screams]

[SUPER BUU grunts]

[yells]

--[SUPER BUU grunts] --[GOHAN groans]

[roars]

Ha!

[screams]

Another Gotenks move out of the hat.

Hope it's not too tight.

How does it feel to be bound by your baby brother's moves?

[screams]

[DENDE] Gohan, no!

[gasps]

Stop me if you've heard this one before.

[groaning]

One final move, and game over!

[yells]

Kamehame-HA!!

[screaming]

He's got a spark left.

What are we supposed to do?

I'll see you later.

[gasps]

[GOKU] Goodbye, Old Kai.

[crying]

[gasps]

Thank you, I promise I won't let this go to waste.

Then, hurry up!

[gasps]

What are you doing?

You're standing there looking like fools,

when you should be saving the universe!

[chuckles]

Hiding only proves your cowardice, my young fighter.

[gasps]

[laughs] That really hurt, didn't it Gohan?

Facing your fears would have been far less painful.

[SUPER BUU] Still wanting to fight?

Take your best shot. You can't hit me.

[GOHAN grunts]

[gasps]

[yells]

[DENDE, MR. SATAN whimpering]

[growls]

[gasping]

Still alive, well I guess I'll have to make sport

out of smacking you around!

[gasping]

[energy blasts]

That's bad, that sounds like somethin' really bad!

You should grab the puppy

and get as far away from here as you can, right now.

Don't you worry about me.

I'm a master of Martial Arts,

and I'm also packin' some serious heat!

And as soon as Majin Buu pops his head outta' that hole,

he's gonna be eatin' a lead salad!

[gasping]

Okay, I've got to go.

Hold on one second, Goku.

[GOKU] Huh?!

What you're doing is noble,

but do you even have a strategy for defeating Majin Buu yet?

I hate to rain on your new-life parade,

but Majin Buu can still beat you and Gohan without much effort.

Uh, all right.

Hm...

Okay, I got it!

I'll just do fusion with Gohan,

and that way we're bound to win, right?

Ah, fusion.

You mean of the type those kids have been using?

You think Majin Buu is just gonna sit on his laurels

and wait for you two to practice

and get into just the right stance?

I don't think so.

I'm afraid I don't understand, Old Kai!

Why did you give up your life

if you didn't think there was a way I could beat him?

He, he, he.

Try these on!

[OLD KAI] Go ahead,

snap this onto your left ear, would you?

Uh?

But, what will dressing him like a Kai accomplish?

Strange...

[OLD KAI] Quiet, you two. It's time you learned.

Is this suppos'd to make me feel strong or something?

'Cause I don't feel much different.

Now simply have Gohan snap this one onto his right ear.

Immediately your bodies will be bound together,

and much stronger, my type of fusion!

--[GOKU] No kidding?! --[SUPREME KAI gasps]

[NARRATOR] As Gohan bravely tries to hold his own

on planet Earth,

Goku has taken a new life,

and readied himself to come to his son's aide.

Will the secret of the elder Kai's fusion earrings be enough

to finish Majin Buu once and for all?

Stay tuned for more excitement, on Dragon Ball Z!
