Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Previously, on Dragon Ball Z,

the wicked wizard, Babidi,

resurrected the radically powerful Majin Buu!

[NARRATOR] Though the misguided Buu eventually saw the light,

his evil counterpart destroyed the Earth

and had no intention of stopping there!

[NARRATOR] With the entire universe in danger of extinction

the Dragon of Namek was summoned to bring the Earth

and its inhabitants back to life!

And in a desperate bid to stop Buu,

humanity offered up its collective energy to Goku,

who used it to form a massive Spirit Bomb!

[NARRATOR] The future of the universe was now in his hands!

[NARRATOR] At last the nightmare was over!

Once again Goku had found a way!

The curse was lifted!

And now the story continues, ten years since that fateful day!

Huh! That's weird!

She seems to be running a little sluggish.

Nah, I'd rather fly the old fashioned way.

[TRUNKS] It's tune-up time for you!

Much better!

Yeah!

Whoa.

[TRUNKS] It's been so long since I've been here!

[TRUNKS] Hello?

Anyone home?

[CHICHI] We don't want any!

[TRUNKS] Huh?

Oh! It's you, Trunks! Welcome to Mount Paoz!

It's great to be out here! Say ah, is Goten around?

Well, when he wants to be.

Right now he's out with his father.

They left this morning.

But hey! Go ask Gohan.

I'm sure that he knows where they are.

Oh that's cool! I actually wanted to see Gohan anyway!

It's nice to see you again, ChiChi.

Hey! Knock, knock!

Hello? Gohan?

Huh?

Good afternoon! Welcome!

This is the mid-day edition of Wether News!

Where we bring you the latest breaking news...

[GOHAN] I don't believe it!

Trunks! What are you doing down there?

Hey! Long time no see!

Yeah! What a great surprise!

Would you mind grabbing some of these for me?

Sure!

Oh, wow! These books, you're doing a bit of reading, huh?

[GOHAN] You could say so!

I'm getting ready for a big conference!

Oh, hey! Put those on the table!

Sorry about that.

[TRUNKS] Whoa!

Dad was right! You're a bit of a nerd, aren't you?

[GOHAN] Well maybe, yeah!

Videl come on down and say hi to an old friend.

[VIDEL] Trunks! Wow, what a surprise! How've you been?

Oh, pretty good! It's nice to see ya!

[VIDEL] It's been way too long! Look at you!

You're a young man now!

[MR. SATAN] What? Who says I'm too old?

Why my megaton punch is as strong as ever! Watch this!

[TV] Check your local listings for tomorrow's tournament!

[sighs]

That's my dad, all right! He has no shame whatsoever!

Well, he is the World Champion!

Besides, my dad said

that he really helped him and Goku beat Buu!

I just wish he would stop taking credit for things

that he really didn't do!

It's like he's a professional wrestler

and the whole world is his ring!

So, uh, Trunks,

what brings you all the way out here from west City?

I almost forgot! I came up here looking for Goten.

Oh! He's out training with my dad on the south face!

Your folks are on their way out there as well!

Huh? They didn't say anything to me!

[GOKU] Yeah! Hahahaha!

[GOTEN] Ow!!

[GOHAN] Ha, ha, ha! Gotcha!

[GOTEN] Hey! That's not fair!

[GOKU] Why not?

[GOTEN] You're in for it now, Dad!

[GOKU] Oh, yeah?

Now tell me! What's so important about this?

[pants]

One of these days the shoe's going to be on the other foot!

[giggles]

Huh?

Hey!

Wow! What a surprise! How ya doin'?

Now you wouldn't know that! Would you, Goku?

How could you?

You never call and if we didn't come to visit you--

we'd probably never see you again!

Hey! Come on! You know that's not true!

Didn't we just see each other not too long ago?

Five years, Goku!

Every time we get together with everyone,

you say you have to train!

[GOKU] Well, it's true! I uhh...

Uhhhh... Huh? Heh...

[GOKU] Whoa! It really has been long!

[BULMA] What do you mean?

What? Say it!

Well... it's just that you look middle aged!

Shut your rude mouth!

I'll have you know that most people think

I look good for my age!

Excuse me for not being an alien monster that never changes!

We Saiyans evolved as a warrior race!

We retain our youthfulness so we can fight longer!

Hmph! I guess your race didn't evolve with enough brains

to have good manners!

By the way, Kakarot!

Is it true that you are going to be fighting

in the World Championships?

Yep! Sure am! And you should compete as well!

You can't beat those stadium hotdogs!

Hot dogs? Enough already!

Tell me the real reason you're fighting.

Okay, but I'd really rather talk about hot dogs!

But if you insist there's this guy

who signed up to fight yesterday!

I think he might be really good!

Really?

Hmm...

You'd think I could sensed a spirit like that.

That's true. If he wasn't suppressing his energy!

No, I think this guy is really shrewd!

We may have ourselves a challenge!

Hmm! I don't believe it! A real fighter on this planet?

Is he an alien or what?

Uh-uh! This guy's an Earthling!

An Earthling?

Wait, are you talking about some kind of android, Kakarot?

Nope! This guy is home grown.

One hundred percent human being.

[BULMA] How could that be possible?

You and Vegeta are the best.

There's no way an Earthling could be on par with you!

Give me a break!

[GOTEN] Trunks?

I don't believe it!

[TRUNKS] Hey!

Now, Trunks! Hay is for horses, son!

[TRUNKS] Grass too, Mom!

So! Just grazing, huh?

I thought you'd be training!

Are you going to be fighting in the tournament

or are you chickening out?

Yeah, my dad's gonna make me fight.

I actually had a date for tomorrow night.

Until he made me... cancel, that is!

Aw, come on, Goten!

There's plenty time after the tournament!

Hm! So your son has the same slack attitude as mine?

[GOKU chuckles]

Well, it's easy to get a little soft in times of peace.

Ahh... Excellent!

Now there's a real go-getter!

Well, look who it is!

Grandpa! I just flew around world again! Good, huh?

Yeah! I think that was your fastest time yet, Pan!

Think I'll be ready for tomorrow then?

Wait? No way!

Pan! You're not really going to fight

in the tournament tomorrow, are you?

Yeah! Of course I am!

What? But there's not going to be a junior division

at the tournament this year, guys!

Don't tell me she's fighting with adults!

Ah, don't you guys worry about Pan.

She can hold her own in just about any division!

She might not win the championship,

but she'll do just fine.

Pan has the right attitude! I'm going to enter as well!

And guess what else? Trunks is entering!

Aren't you, son?

[TRUNKS] Huh?

[VEGETA] If you don't, I'll cut your allowance in half!

Ahh...?

[laughs]

[GOTEN] Trunks is gonna fight!

[ANNOUNCER] Welcome everyone!

To the World Martial Arts Championship Tournament!

They never grow up, huh?

I don't know! The jury's still out on the professor!

[PAN] Hey! Grandpa!

What's up, Pan?

Let's go have some fun, Grandpa G!

Hey, Gohan! How we doing on time?

We're early! We still have a little bit!

'Kay! Let's go!

Hey! Where are you going?

Grandpa! Hurry! Come on!

[GOKU] We'll be right back!

[PAN] Do you like my new teddy, Grandpa?

[GOKU] Yeah! He seems nice to me!

Here!

[PAN] My name is Pan! What's yours?

[BUNKO] Hi, my name is Bunko! You are my best friend!

--[SERVER] There! --[PAN] Thanks!

[audience laughter]

[BIG BERTHA] Hey, you! Get back here!

--[KABU] Move it, French Fry! --[MAN IN BLACK] Huh?

Aw, dude! What a score! This is the mother lode!

Huh?

[gasps]

Thank you, Sir!

What? Pan?

What's the big deal, you little runt?

You blind or what?

You killed my cone!

[growls]

Hey, bonehead! Do you know sign language? Huh?

Huh?

Hey! What are you doing?

Eeeeh! Yikes!

[KABU] What's the deal, you little psycho?

She's serious!

Put up your dukes!

Pan?

[wails]

He killed my ice cream cone!

Pheeew.

Goodness gracious!

Hey! Pan! Look! You can have Grandpa's ice cream cone!

Thanks!

Phew!

[BIG BERTHA] Where ya goin', kid?!

You're mine!

Aaaaahh!

Hey! There they are!

[GOKU] Hey! What's up, guys? You look great! How are ya?

[KRILLIN] Well, to tell you the truth, we're a little p-o'd!

How come you never call or come by? We're your friends!

Training is fine, but can't you keep in touch?

Ahaha! I'm sorry, guys! Geez!

I got bawled out by Bulma for the same exact thing!

You do have phones, don't you?

Actually no, I can't figure mine out.

[GOKU] I hear ya!

Hey! Are you gonna enter, Piccolo?

Hmph! And step into the ring with the likes of you, huh?

No thanks! I'm gonna kick back and enjoy the show.

I'm too old for this.

You're sandbagging, Piccolo!

You don't look a day older than you did ten years ago.

Grandpa! We're gonna be late!

Huh? Yeah! Pan's right! Bye, you guys!

We'll see you in a little while!

[KRILLIN thinking] Yeah! Ten years from now!

Oh man, I don't know what it is about that guy,

but it's impossible to stay mad at him very long! Hah!

[MR. SATAN] We're going to work this the way we always do, Buu!

You're going to go out there and beat all of the challengers

and then of course lose to me in the finals.

But remember to be very gentle in those early rounds

so the other challengers don't withdraw!

One of these days maybe I'll let you win

and you can be Champion! Now how does that sound?

Okay!

[MR. SATAN] Buu the Champion! It has a nice ring to it,

doesn't it, Big Bee?

[knocking on door]

[MR. SATAN] Hmm?

Now what? Another fan bearing gifts?

I thought I told them not to let anyone else through!

Hi!

Hey! Goku! How ya doing, buddy?

Don't forget about me, Gramps!

Oh, my goodness!

It's my favorite little girl in the world!

How are you, Pan!

Fine! But your beard hurts!

Oh! Hi, Buu!

[MR. SATAN] Aww! You came all the way here

just to cheer on Gramps?

Uh-uh! I came out here to win the tournament!

Huh?!

Yeah! We're all going to fight! It should be fun!

[MR. SATAN] Hmm?

Ready to rumble?!

Hey, don't worry about it!

If one of us makes it to the finals,

we'll let you take the victory, is that okay?

Wow! Really? You'd really do that?

Of course we would! Why not?

But that's assuming we make it!

I mean, someone else might make it to the finals!

You never know!

Oh! Yes! That's true! But hang tough!

If you try your best, you just might make it!

[GOTEN] Excuse me, Champ!

All of our friends and family just arrived,

but they were told there weren't any more seats left

in the whole statium!

Oh hoho! Is that so? Hahahaha!

No seats left? That's a good one!

Not while I'm World Champion!

[ANDROID 18 thinking] What a slap in the face.

[KRILLIN thinking] Oh man, talk about your nosebleed section.

[GOHAN thinking] We look like ants.

[BULMA thinking] Unbelievable!

[OOLONG thinking] Ooo, I hope no one can smell that!

[YAMCHA thinking] Dude...

I should have entered!

At least then I'd have a decent view!

How could you say such a thing?

What? I could'a done it!

Well, I'm not gonna take this sitting down!

This is absurd!

Wait! Bulma! Please! Let me go talk to my father!

Look, Mama! I can see everything!

Wonderful!

Well, sometimes it pays to know the right people, huh?

Ahh! What a relief!

Yeah! Bulma was about to go ape on us! Hahahahaha!

Huh?

Ooo! Someone's coming, Mama!
