List of ''Dragon Ball Z'' episodes
.jpg)
The first volume of the individual DVD compilations of Dragon Ball Z released in Japan.
Dragon Ball Z (ドラゴンボールゼット Doragon Bōru Zetto, commonly abbreviated as DBZ) is the long-running anime sequel to the Dragon Ball TV series, adapted from the final twenty-six volumes of the Dragon Ball manga written by Akira Toriyama. The manga portion of the series debuted in Weekly Shōnen Jump in October 4, 1988 and lasted until 1995; the anime adaptation premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on April 26, 1989, taking over its predecessor's time slot, and ran until its end on January 31, 1996, lasting 291 episodes in Japan, and 276 episodes in the United States originally, although all 291 episodes were later broadcast when content from the first 67 episodes was restored.
Dragon Ball Z uses four pieces of theme music in the Japanese version. From episodes 1-199, the opening theme is "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" by Hironobu Kageyama, and the closing theme is "Detekoi Tobikiri Zenkai Pawā!" by MANNA. From episodes 200-291, the opening and closing themes are "We Gotta Power" and "Boku-Tachi wa Tenshi Datta," both by Hironobu Kageyama.
Seasons overview
A note on the "Season" nomenclature:
The "seasons" that comprise the following list correspond to the remastered box sets released by Funimation from 2007 to 2009. However, these "seasons" only correspond to story arcs (which are themselves split at debatable points), and not to the pattern in which the show actually aired in either Japan or the United States.
In Japan, Dragon Ball Z (like both of the other Dragon Ball series) was aired year-round continuously, with regular off-days for sporting events and television specials taking place about once every six weeks on average.
Only when the series was broadcast in the United States was the series split into the standard seasonal cycle of new episodes followed by repeats followed by new episodes. The series was broadcast in eight separate near-continuous blocks (1-35, 36-67, 68-107, 108-116, 117-194, 195-237, 238-276, and 277-291), with breaks varying between four months to over a year between each block. In only one instance (between episodes 194 and 195) was there actually parity between the DVD release and the actual broadcast sequence in terms of the end of one "season" and the beginning of the next.

While he's looking for the tiger, he accidentally falls into a river. Goku, searching for his son, finds his hat. He suddenly sees Gohan floating down a river, but he can't reach him in time before he goes over a waterfall. Goku looks up and sees Gohan clinging to a branch, having somehow jumped out of the river. With Gohan safe, they head to Master Roshi's house. Meanwhile, a mysterious alien has arrived on Earth looking for a man named Kakarrot. With a special device: the Scouter he wears on his head, he searches for high power levels on Earth.

| Goku and Gohan arrive at Master Roshi's island to meet Bulma, Krillin, Master Roshi, and Turtle. Quickly the others notice the difference between Gohan's behavior and that of Goku as a child. Goku informs his friends that Chi Chi refuses to allow Gohan to fight, instead he studies constantly. The same mysterious alien arrives at the island and reveals himself: he is a Saiyan warrior named Raditz, and he is Goku's older brother. He also reveals that Goku's real Saiyan name is Kakarrot. Goku learns that he was sent to destroy all life on Earth, but his memory loss from a terrible fall as a child prevented this outcome.

Even though he's no match for him, Goku will do whatever it takes to save his son. Krillin and Roshi volunteer to join Goku and save Gohan, however Goku refuses. He tells them that once the Eternal Dragon grants a wish, he will not grant it again, hence the two cannot be resurrected again. Suddenly, Piccolo appears and proposes that he and Goku team up in order to stop Raditz. He had seen Raditz's power while the Saiyan was looking for Goku, and he knows that neither of them are a match for this alien. Raditz returns to the location of his landing pod, leaving Gohan imprisoned in it. His Scouter detects a large power level coming from Gohan, but ignores it thinking that it's malfunctioning.

However, Piccolo has an idea that might beat him: the Special Beam Cannon, his newest and most powerful technique. But, he has to power up to make it work. He requires five minutes to gather the strength, and Goku does his best to give him that. Despite the fact that the two drastically raise their power levels with heavy concentration, they do not manage to defeat Raditz using their attacks. Suddenly, Goku does manage to grab Raditz's tail, instantly weakening him. Raditz surrenders and Goku releases his tail.

Raditz intends to kill Gohan, who he views as the only person capable of defeating him. In a last-ditch effort to save his son, Goku gets Raditz in a hold that leaves both of them open to Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon. Goku urges Piccolo to use it, even if it costs his own life. Piccolo then starts to wonder whether or not he should use it. Despite Raditz's pleas for mercy, Piccolo lets loose his attack, which kills both Goku and Raditz. Thinking they've already won, Piccolo tells Raditz (who's slowly dying) about the Dragon Balls. Once he's heard everything, Raditz tells Piccolo that his Scouter is also a transmitter and that in one year's time, two more Saiyans, more powerful than Raditz, will arrive on Earth to avenge his murder.

As the smoke clears, it is discovered Nappa has only been slightly wounded by Chiaotzu's attack. Piccolo and Krillin do their best against Nappa, but the Saiyan is much too strong for them. Using all the power he has, Tien fires an attack to avenge his fallen friend, but it is still not enough to stop the rampaging Nappa. Even though the attack had no effect, Tien dies of exhaustion claiming that he has failed. | ||||

| With Tien gone, only Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan are left to fight, and they begin to wonder when Goku will show up. They tell Vegeta that Goku is far more powerful than any of them, and the Saiyan Prince can't resist the thought of a better fight, as he has grown bored of the relatively weak Earthlings. He tells Nappa that they will wait three hours for Goku. But instead of standing around for three hours, Nappa flies around the world destroying everything in his path to kill some time. Goku arrives on Earth, but he is far away from the battlefield. The three hours are up, so Vegeta tells Nappa to continue the fight. | ||||

| As Goku heads toward the battlefield, Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan devise a plan to stop Nappa: they plan to pull his tail, which will weaken him enough to take him out. As Piccolo grabs Nappa's tail, Gohan rushes to finish the fight. However, it seems that Nappa and Vegeta have evolved past their weaknesses, and they are no longer crippled when their tail is pulled. With their plan a failure, Nappa begins to pound on Piccolo and Krillin. Only Gohan is left to fight, and the young Saiyan is holding his own against Nappa. Enraged by Gohan's attack, Nappa fires a blast at Gohan that could finish him off. | ||||

| To save his only friend, Piccolo makes the ultimate sacrifice, and dives in front of Gohan to block Nappa's attack. As Piccolo dies, he tells Gohan that he is his only friend and how sorry he was about going so hard on him during training. With Piccolo dead, Kami and the Dragon Balls are also gone, meaning that no one can be wished back. When all hope seems lost for Earth, Goku finally arrives. After giving Gohan and Krillin a Senzu bean, Goku learns what happened to his friends. Angered, Goku takes out his frustration on the hulking Nappa. | ||||

| Goku is able to easily beat Nappa, thanks to King Kai's training. With a measured power level in the thousands, he is vastly superior to the man who so easily defeated his friends. Goku avenges all of his friends. Having seen enough of the fight, Vegeta orders Nappa to stop and let him fight Goku. To have some more fun, Nappa decides to attack Gohan and Krillin, only to be stopped by Goku's Kaio-ken attack. Unable to move, Nappa asks Vegeta for help, but the cruel prince does not tolerate weakness. He kills his partner with a sadistic display of power. | ||||

| Goku instructs Krillin and Gohan to leave the battlefield, because he doesn't want them to get hurt. With no one in their way, Goku and Vegeta begin their fight for the fate of the Earth. Even with Goku using his Kaio-ken technique, Vegeta is still more powerful. Goku has no choice but to try a Kaio-ken x2, but even with this increase in power, he still can't overpower Vegeta. His only choice is to try a Kaio-ken x3, but the incredible surge in power could destroy his body. | ||||

| Thanks to the Kaio-ken x3 technique, Goku has the upper hand against Vegeta, but the Saiyan Prince will not give up so easily. He decides that if he can't beat Goku, he will destroy the Earth. He flies high up in the air and fires his Galick Gun attack. Goku unleashes the Kamehameha wave, and the two energy blasts meet in midair. Goku and Vegeta pour all of their energy into this attack, and after a long struggle, Vegeta's blast is pushing Goku's back, even with Goku using the Kaio-ken x3 attack. With no choice left, Goku uses a Kaio-ken x4 attack, and with the extra power, he is able to blast Vegeta into space. However, Vegeta is able to recover, and he decides to become a Great Ape for his rematch with Goku. The evil Saiyan Prince starts searching for the full moon, but couldn't find it (it's because the moon was destroyed by Piccolo before the Vegeta and Nappa's arrival). Thinking Goku must have blown up the moon just to prevent him from transforming, Vegeta returns to Earth where Goku is completely spent and claims to have a trick up his sleeve. After telling Goku the origin of how Saiyans transform into Great Apes through Blutz Waves: the power of the moon that reaches 17 million zenos, he creates and launches an artificial moon into the sky. Absorbing the Blutz Waves reflecting from the artificial moon, Vegeta begins to transform into a Great Ape as Goku looked on in horror. Meanwhile, Krillin and Gohan feel the tremendous surge in energy coming from the battlefield, and decide to head back. | ||||

| By creating an artificial moon with a specialized ball of energy completed with Blutz Waves, Vegeta transforms into a Great Ape. But unlike most other Saiyans, he has complete control of himself while in this transformed state. Luckily, Goku has one last attack that could finish Vegeta: the Spirit Bomb. As Gohan and Krillin return to the battlefield, Goku is able to create the bomb. Vegeta, however, is able to prevent Goku from using it.

| As Gohan fights against Vegeta, Goku gives Krillin the part of the Spirit Bomb that he was able to save. As Krillin prepares to unleash the ball, King Kai says not to use his eyes to throw it, but to feel it out. Sensing the right moment, Krillin fires the bomb, but Vegeta is able to dodge it. Goku telepathically communicates with Gohan, telling his son to redirect the blast at Vegeta, who has jumped into the air. Gohan is able to aim it directly at Vegeta, and lands a direct hit. However, Vegeta falls back down to Earth, and recovers from the blast. He blew away the Z Fighters with a giant explosion of energy, but finds that they withstood the blast, separated from each other. Vegeta is about to destroy them one by one starting with Gohan, when he notices in horror that Gohan's tail has grown back. | ||||

| Vegeta attempted to rip off Gohan's tail to prevent him from looking at his artificial moon and transforming, when Yajirobe jumps in and stops him by cutting through his armor with his sword, resulting in a heroic distraction. Gohan recovers, and then on Goku's telepathic commands, he looks at Vegeta's moon and transforms into a Great Ape. However, unlike Vegeta, Gohan can't control himself in this state. But quickly stopped by Goku and Krillin's cries for him to defeat Vegeta, Gohan quickly regains some of his consciousness and resumes the fight, pounding on Vegeta. Vegeta is able to cut off Gohan's tail in midair, but as Gohan falls to Earth, he lands on Vegeta and crushes him before finally reverting to his normal form. Vegeta pulls out his remote and summons his spaceship. As he crawls toward it, Krillin attempts to kill him with Yajirobe's sword. Goku tells him to stop, and let Vegeta go. His life spared, Vegeta promises the Z Fighters revenge when he will return as he leaves the Earth in his spaceship for good. The battle with Vegeta is over. | ||||

| The exhausted Goku, Krillin, and Gohan won their battle, and Bulma, Chi Chi, and the others arrive to help their friends. Learning of the death of Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Tien, Piccolo, and Kami, the Z Fighters were upset because without the Dragon Balls the others can't be wished back to life again, but Krillin has an idea. He overheard Vegeta saying that it was the Nameks who created the Dragon Balls, so they decide to go to the planet Namek. The only problem is that it will take 4339.2516 years to reach Namek. They decide to use Nappa's spaceship, because Saiyan spaceships travel much faster. | ||||

Zarbon thinks that the fight will be as easy as it was the last time, but he doesn't know that a Saiyan's strength increases after he recovers from injury, and Vegeta makes short work of him. He then takes Krillin's Dragon Ball back to where he hid the other five. Meanwhile, Goku's ship hits a magnetic storm, which makes the gravity machine malfunction, causing it to increase the gravity to 100x normal. Though he can barely move, Goku sees this as a new challenge, and begins to train under the intense gravity. | ||||

| With Recoome beaten by one punch, the remaining two Ginyu Force members, Burter and Jeice, fight against Goku, but none of their speed attacks work against him. They try to hit him, but their punches seem to go through Goku. He is dodging so fast that it appears he isn't even moving.

| Ginyu tries to power up with Goku's body, but it turns out what Goku's right, was that he can't reach its full potential, because he doesn't know how to unite body and mind.

| Realizing that he's no match for the renewed Vegeta, Captain Ginyu decides to use his body-switching trick on him. Once again, he lets his body get thrashed, so his opponent will be very weak after the switch.

Back in his broken body, Captain Ginyu tries to switch with Vegeta again. Goku throws a frog to intercept the transfer.

They bring the Dragon Balls to a nearby island, and Dende summons Porunga. Frieza, meanwhile, realizes that Nail is purposely stalling him, he makes a move to finish him off.

While they are thinking of their third wish, Vegeta wakes up. Furious, he flies over to Gohan, Krillin, and Dende, demanding that they wish for his immortality.

As Goku seems to be in control, Frieza uses his mind to use rocks to attack Goku so he can trap him in an energy ball that will explode if it touches anything but Frieza, and it doesn't look good for Goku. | ||||

| To prove that he's the strongest of all, Frieza uses his feet and not his hands to beat Goku. It may seem Frieza has the advantage, but Goku proves that the tyrant will have to use his hands. Meanwhile, Bulma finds a frog, unaware that it's Captain Ginyu as he prepares to switch bodies with her. | ||||

| To ensure Goku is defeated, Frieza powers up to 50% of his maximum and it seems that not even Goku can handle it. Ginyu finds the other heroes in Bulma's body and prepares to have his revenge. | ||||

| Captain Ginyu prepares his revenge by switching with Piccolo, but Gohan is able to throw Bulma (as a frog) in the way to get her body back. Meanwhile, Goku is being beaten up by Frieza with his power increase and even the Kaio-ken attack doesn't work. But as he is held by the monster's power, he has a vision showing what Frieza could do to Earth. Rocked and inspired by the vision, Goku powers up. | ||||

| The battle on King Kai's planet begins with the Z-Fighters against the Ginyu Force and it seems that our heroes' training is paying off. Piccolo does his best for Goku to complete the Spirit Bomb, but it seems that Frieza might win this battle. At the last moment, the Spirit Bomb is completed, and Goku hurls it at Frieza, who can't control the force of the blast. Frieza is seemingly destroyed. | ||||

| It looks like the battle is over, as Frieza seems to be defeated and the Ginyu Force has been beaten off King Kai's planet to Hell by the remaining Z-Fighters. As everyone celebrates, Frieza reappears and spares no time attacking; first he fires a blast at Goku, but Piccolo hurls himself in front of it and takes the blast, knocking him out. Then Frieza fires another blast and uses it to blow up Krillin, killing him. Fueled by rage at the loss of his best friend, Goku's power increases exponentially, and he ascends to become a Super Saiyan. | ||||

| Goku's hair has turned gold and his eyes green, as he is surrounded by a gold aura; the fuel of this power being his anger towards Frieza. As Gohan takes Piccolo to Goku's ship, our hero starts to pound on Frieza as the tyrant fires back, but none of his attacks are working against Goku now that he is a Super Saiyan. It looks like Frieza will finally be defeated. | ||||

| Not willing to be beaten, Frieza fires an attack to destroy Namek so Goku will be killed, as the Super Saiyan can't do anything to stop the attack. However, he holds back too much power, and the planet isn't destroyed, but is left unstable and ready to collapse and blow up. | ||||

| Namek is about to explode in 5 minutes, as Gohan finds Bulma and gets back to the ship. Meanwhile, Frieza powers up to 100% of his maximum to finish the fight. Instead of stopping him, Goku has let Frieza go full power, on the idea that if he beats Frieza at his full power, Frieza will never fight him again. As they continue their fight, it seems that Frieza has regained the upper hand now that he has powered up to his maximum, but Goku claims that the battle is far from over. | ||||

| Everyone that has been killed by Frieza and his henchmen on Namek are resurrected, but so far, Guru isn't back yet and it looks like Goku has been beaten by Frieza's attack. To avenge his father, Gohan returns to the battle to make sure that the cold tyrant dies along with the planet, but is no match for Frieza. Before Frieza lands the killing blow, however, Guru returns to life, and Goku reappears, and orders Gohan to leave Namek. | ||||

| With Guru back to life, the Namekian Dragon Balls have been restored as well, with Porunga ready to grant the third wish. As Dende prepares to complete the final phase of King Kai's plan, Frieza flies towards Porunga to have his wish granted as well. Can Goku stop him in time? | ||||

| It seems that everyone on Namek has been transported to Earth, but Goku is still on Namek, insisting that he finish the fight. Everyone is upset with Goku's decision, as it seems that there is no escape from the explosion. | ||||
| 103 | 88 | "Pathos of Freeza! Once He Starts Shaking, He's Unstoppable!!" / "Pathos of Frieza" "Aware Furīza! Furue Dashitara Tomaranai!!" (哀れフリーザ！震えだしたら止まらない!!) | August 14, 1991 | October 28, 1999 |
| As Namek gets closer to an explosion, it looks like Goku can beat Frieza with ease, as Frieza is getting weaker. Finally, Goku decides to leave, stating that, Frieza has lost to a fighter superior to him, but the tyrant won't give up that easily. | ||||
| 104 | 89 | "Goku's Declaration of Victory!! As Freeza Destroys Himself..." / "Frieza Defeated!!" "Gokū no Shōri Sengen da!! Furīza ga Jimetsu suru Toki..." (悟空の勝利宣言だ!!フリーザが自滅する時…) | August 21, 1991 | October 29, 1999 |

| As Guru enjoys seeing his people alive on Earth, the time has come for him to go, but gave his powers to Moori, as the next Eldest Namek. Back on Namek, Frieza has been cut in half by his own energy disk from behind, but Goku, being the kind person he is, gives Frieza some of his power to escape. However, Frieza will not accept defeat, as he uses the given power to finish Goku off, but Goku finishes off Frieza with a final blast attack. | ||||
| 106 | 91 | "Planet Namek's Great Explosion!! Goku Disappears into Space" / "Namek's Explosion... Goku's End?" "Namekkusei Dai Bakuhatsu!! Uchū ni Kieta Gokū" (ナメック星大爆発!!宇宙に消えた悟空) | September 4, 1991 | November 2, 1999 |
| With Frieza gone, Goku flies to Frieza's spaceship to escape from Namek, but to no avail. Even though it looks like Goku is gone, Bulma and the others have an idea that could work; using the Namekian Dragon Balls, once restored, to bring everyone else back, including Goku. | ||||

| As it looks like Goku and Krillin can't come back, Vegeta has an idea: wish their souls to Earth and then wish them back to life, which is done for Krillin. Yamcha is also brought back to life. After another 130 days, Tien and Chiaotzu are also back to life, but Porunga says Goku can't be wished back to life because he's still alive, and knew that he doesn't want to return to Earth yet. However, Goku will return some other time. | ||||

| Gohan is powerless against the infected Piccolo.

| The deserted streets of Gingertown become a battlefield as the powered-up Piccolo confronts this terror from the future. The monster's name is Cell, and he gains strength from sucking the power out of his victims! But that's not the only secret the creature reveals.

| With the element of surprise, the creature gets a hold of Piccolo and begins to absorb him, but Piccolo manages to break free. With his arm weakened, Piccolo surrenders, but the Super Namekian asks for one last request to know who this creature is. His name is Cell, an Android made of the strongest fighters in the universe and he's hungry for more power, thanks to Dr. Gero. | ||||

| As the Android from the future tells Piccolo his objective to absorb Androids 17 and 18 to obtain his "Perfect Form", Piccolo regenerates his arm. With his power restored and Krillin and Trunks by his side, Piccolo has a good chance against Cell, but the Android has more tricks up his sleeve. It is revealed that Cell killed Trunks in his future. | ||||

| As Krillin heads back to Master Roshi's, he crosses Cell's path and barely escapes his wrath as Piccolo and Tien arrive at the scene. Meanwhile, Trunks finds his father to train with him in order to surpass a Super Saiyan. As hope seems lost, a glimmer still remains: Goku has made a recovery and plans to get stronger, but how? | ||||

| After enduring the terrifically horrifying effect of the viral heart disease, Goku recovers, and has only one objective on his mind: surpassing the level of Super Saiyan. With Vegeta's mind set on reaching the same seemingly unreachable goal, Goku takes him, Trunks and Gohan to the mysterious Hyperbolic Time Chamber, a room where one year is equivalent to that of one Earth day. Meanwhile, the Androids face an unexpected and unforeseen issue: Goku's not home. With the Androids now closing in on Master Roshi's island, can Piccolo beat the destructive trio? | ||||

| Piccolo begins his epic battle against Android 17, and he seems to be on par with the mechanical monster, meanwhile Bulma continues to work on the remote that will shut down the Androids. However, Cell can feel Piccolo's energy, and knowing he must be fighting one of the Androids, he charges towards them, in the hope that he will become complete. | ||||

| Piccolo and 17 continue their showdown, unaware that the power-hungry Cell is approaching fast. Piccolo is as strong as 17 but fatigue kicks in, while the malicious Android's power remains undrained. Meanwhile Goku and Gohan impatiently wait for Vegeta and Trunks to finish their Super Saiyan training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Cell arrives at the battlefield, ready to attain his final perfect form, and the Androids don't seem to know who Cell is. | ||||

| With more people absorbed, Cell has become more powerful than both Piccolo and 17 combined. Despite Piccolo's best attempts, Cell easily disposes of Piccolo. Knowing of his origin and mission the Androids must work together in order to save themselves from Cell's overwhelming power. | ||||
| 151 | 136 | "One Final Remaining Hope... No. 16, the Wordless Warrior, Takes Action!!" / "Silent Warrior" "Nokosareta Yuiitsu no Nozomi... Mugon no Senshi Jūrokugō Tatsu!!" (残された唯一の望み…無言の戦士16号立つ!!) | August 5, 1992 | October 19, 2000 |
| With Piccolo gone, Android 17 has no choice but to fight Cell on his own or so it seems, that is until Android 16 steps in to fight. As the battle rages on, it is easily noticeable that Android 16 is just as strong as Cell, but can the silent giant Android 16 defeat Cell? Or maybe this fight will buy Vegeta and Trunks the precious time they need to complete their training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. | ||||
| 152 | 137 | "No. 17 Swallowed... The Transforming Cell is a Super Gourmet" / "Say Goodbye, 17" "Jūnanagō o Nomikonda... Henshin Seru wa Chōgurume" (17号を飲み込んだ…変身セルは超グルメ) | August 12, 1992 | October 20, 2000 |
| The battle between Android 16 and Cell continues. Cell tries to counter-attack but falls short to 16's Inferno Flash. 16 warns 17 and 18 to quickly leave the battlefield, however they wait, believing Cell to be dead. But before they can do so, Cell sneaks up behind 17, and before he can get away, Cell quickly absorbs him. Cell transforms into his second imperfect form, and his next task is to absorb 18 to become complete. Android 16 attempts to attack Cell, but is no match for his second form, and is severely damaged by a blast from Cell. Tien then attempts to give 16 and 18 time to escape by using several attacks to stall Cell. | ||||

| Tien, attempting to give 16 and 18 enough time to escape, subsequently uses up all his energy in a vicious attack, and falls to the ground. Goku knows that Cell is far stronger than Tien, so he descends on the battlefield to help Tien recover. While there he notices Piccolo is still alive, but he's hanging on by a thread. Cell desires to fight Goku immediately, but Goku uses his Instant Transmission to get back to Kami's lookout successfully, and Vegeta and Trunks finally emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. | ||||

| Goku asks Trunks about the training, but Vegeta doesn't want him to say anything about it. Meanwhile, 18 questions 16 on his love for nature and asks if he even cares that Cell might absorb her and kill him. Bulma lands at Kami's lookout. She gives Gohan, Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta a set of Saiyan armours. Tien and Piccolo refuse to wear the suits, claiming they do not want to wear the same clothes as the Saiyans. Vegeta then leaves to find and destroy Cell, while Trunks closely follows. Anxious to find 18, Cell finds a chain of inhabited islands, and insisted to obliterate each island with energy blasts, bringing him closer to the Androids' hideout. Back at Kami's lookout, after eating a quick amount of food, Goku and Gohan enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to start training. | ||||
| 155 | 140 | "Suddenly Full-Throttle!! The Super Power of a Radiant Vegeta" / "Super Vegeta" "Ikinari Zenkai!! Hikarikagayaku Bejīta no Chōpawā" (いきなり全開!!光り輝くベジータの超パワー) | September 2, 1992 | October 25, 2000 |
| The heartless Cell continues to destroy the islands. He eventually finds the last island where Androids 16 and 18 is hiding, and threatens to destroy it together with them. Vegeta, anxious to test his new power, heads towards Cell's whereabouts and transforms to Super Saiyan. Just as Cell is about to destroy the last island, Vegeta arrives to fight Cell. Up on Kami's Lookout, Tien and Piccolo don't believe that Vegeta has the power to beat Cell, and neither does Android 18, based on the fact that she beat Vegeta in their fight. As Vegeta begins to power up, he begins his transformation, which stuns everybody that senses his power, including 18 and Cell. Vegeta finishes transforming, reaching an ascended level of Super Saiyan, and begins the fight by delivering the first hit to Cell. | ||||
| 156 | 141 | "On Your Knees, Cell! I Am Super Vegeta!!" / "Bow to the Prince" "Seru yo Hizamazuke! Ore wa Sūpā Bejīta da!!" (セルよひざまずけ！オレは超ベジータだ!!) | September 9, 1992 | October 26, 2000 |
| As Vegeta battles Cell, it is clear that Vegeta has the upper hand in the fight, his strength superior to Cell's. Watching from the sidelines, Trunks recalls the intense time he spent training with his father in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. As the fight between Cell and Vegeta continues, the pressure falls on Gohan as he trains in the Time Chamber with Goku in an attempt to become a Super Saiyan. | ||||
| 157 | 142 | "Dangerous Pride!! A Challenge to Cell's Perfect Form" / "Hour of Temptation" "Kiken na Puraido!! Kanzentai Seru eno Chōsen" (危険なプライド!!完全体セルへの挑戦) | September 16, 1992 | October 27, 2000 |
| Goku and Gohan continue to push themselves forward in their training, but at this point, they may not even be needed. In his powered up state, Vegeta is making quick work of Cell, who seems to be utterly no match for Vegeta. Vegeta then explains to Cell that it is useless to fight him in his current state, as even if he somehow manages to get past him, Trunks would finish him off. With his back against the wall, the ever-clever android attempts to exploit Vegeta's weakest point, his unbridled arrogance, but Vegeta brushes this off as an attempt from Cell to get his own way, at which Cell becomes infuriated. | ||||
| 158 | 143 | "I'm So Distraught!! Kururin's Handiwork in Destroying No. 18" / "Krillin's Decision" "Ore Nayanjau!! Kuririn no Jūhachigō Hakai Kōsaku" (オレ悩んじゃう!!クリリンの18号破壊工作) | September 23, 1992 | October 30, 2000 |
| With Cell being thrown around by Vegeta, Cell still attempts to exploit Vegeta's weak point in an attempt to get the chance to absorb Android 18. With 18 in his sights, Krillin attempts to get closer to her in an attempt to shut down the android forever. But at the moment of decision, Krillin hesitates, his emotions clouding his judgement. Cell is gaining momentum in his push for perfection, enticing Vegeta to be able to test his true power. Upon hearing this, Android 16 tells 18 that she must leave immediately, as Vegeta may let Cell go. Krillin's emotions finally get the best of him, and he destroys the controller in front of 18, just as Vegeta lets Cell go and find 18. Trunks, fearful of what would happen, intervenes and prevents Cell from looking for 18. Just as Cell complains to Vegeta, he catches a glimpse of 18 on the ground, and can only gape at the android. | ||||
| 159 | 144 | "A Shock to the Entire Universe!! Cell's Spectacular Evolution Toward His Perfect Form" / "The Last Defense" "Zen'uchū ni Shōgeki!! Seru, Kanzentai e Kyōi no Shinka" (全宇宙に衝撃!!セル、完全体へ驚異の進化) | September 30, 1992 | October 31, 2000 |
| Cell has spotted 18, but so has Trunks, and he warns Krillin, 16, and 18 that Cell knows their whereabouts, just as Cell begins flying towards them. Trunks gives chase, and every time Cell gets the chance to absorb 18, Trunks intervenes. Vegeta has other plans, however, and begins to interfere with Trunks. Trunks defies Vegeta's thought that Trunks is too weak-minded to attack his own father, and sends Vegeta flying towards the water with a large Ki blast. As Trunks continues to interfere with Cell's quest, the android sees 16 and 18 getting away, and devises a plan, using Tien's "Solar Flare" technique to blind everybody, including Vegeta as he heads back to the battlefield. With nobody but Krillin to stand in his way, Cell is unfazed by Krillin's attempts to stall Cell as he absorbs 18 and begins his transformation. | ||||
| 160 | 145 | "Battle Power Infinity!! Birth of the God of Destruction Named Cell" / "Cell is Complete" "Sentōryoku Mugendai!! Seru to Iu Na no Hakaishin Tanjō" (戦闘力無限大!!セルという名の破壊神誕生) | October 14, 1992 | November 1, 2000 |
| Dr. Gero's dream has been realized, as Cell begins his final transformation, with everybody but Vegeta, who has realized his own dream of testing his strength, looking on in fear. After Cell becomes complete, he begins testing his new body, as Krillin and Trunks attempt to subdue him. Eventually, Cell tests one of his kicks on Krillin, knocking him out cold. Up in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gohan and Goku are still training. Gohan becomes tired of being treated like his father's son, and wants Goku to give it everything he's got. Goku complies, transforms to a Super Saiyan, and unleashes a powerful Kamehameha wave at Gohan, who, while fighting it, realizes how he has let people down his whole life, and finally transforms into a Super Saiyan, albeit maintaining the transformation only for a couple minutes. | ||||
| 161 | 146 | "Super Vegeta in Peril!! An Absolutely Perfect Terror Closes In!!" / "Vegeta Must Pay" "Sūpā Bejīta Ayaushi!! Kanzen Muketsu no Kyōfu ga Semaru!!" (超ベジータ危うし!!完全無欠の恐怖が迫る!!) | October 21, 1992 | November 2, 2000 |
| After allowing Cell to reach his final form, Vegeta is ready for the challenge he was promised. While Cell has become a brick wall to the Saiyan's every blow, it becomes clear that Vegeta has bitten off more than he can chew, as even a direct blow to the android barely phases him. Meanwhile, Goku and Gohan, who is now a proper Super Saiyan, continue to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. | ||||
| 162 | 147 | "Breaking Through the Boundaries of the Super Saiyan!! Trunks Summons a Storm" / "Trunks Ascends" "Sūpā Saiyajin no Genkai Toppa!! Arashi o Yobu Torankusu" (超サイヤ人の限界突破!!嵐を呼ぶトランクス) | October 28, 1992 | November 3, 2000 |
| Vegeta is clearly no match for Cell now he has powered up to his Perfect form, and it seems Trunks will have no choice but to reveal his hidden ascended power. Just as it appears that Vegeta is losing consciousness, however, he powers up for his ultimate move, the Final Flash. He spends several minutes powering up for the attack, crumbling the surrounding landscape as he does so. As he prepares to launch it, he challenges Cell to stay right where he is and take on his attack. He launches it, and it proves very effective, demolishing Cell's right arm, and a large portion of the right side of his torso. Vegeta begins laughing but his celebration is quickly cut short when Cell reminds Vegeta that he possesses Piccolo's regenerative ability. Cell resumes the fight and, after a massive onslaught of Ki blasts from Vegeta, knocks Vegeta out cold, and prepares to kill Vegeta until he senses that Trunks is beginning to power up. | ||||
| 163 | 148 | "Save Your Father!! Trunks' Fury, Which Scorches Even the Heavens" / "Saving Throw" "Chichi o Sukue!! Ten o mo Kogasu Torankusu no Ikari" (父を救え!!天をも焦がすトランクスの怒り) | November 4, 1992 | November 6, 2000 |
| With Vegeta out of commission, it's up to the newly-ascended Trunks to take down Cell. As they fight, Trunks tries to divert Cell's attention away from his unconscious father's body, allowing Krillin to bring him to safety. Meanwhile, Goku and Gohan continue training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. | ||||
| 164 | 149 | "A Future of Despair!! Trunks, the Man Who Lived Through Hell" / "Ghosts from Tomorrow" "Zetsubō no Mirai!! Jigoku o Ikinuita Otoko Torankusu" (絶望の未来!!地獄を生き抜いた男トランクス) | November 11, 1992 | November 7, 2000 |
| Trunks recounts the events that lead to the destruction of the Z Fighters in the future. Using the rage from these memories, Trunks powers up to finish his battle with Cell. Cell then tells Trunks how he was created, and why he traveled to the future. As the battle continues, Trunks has the upper hand, but Cell claims that he knows Trunks cannot beat him. | ||||
| 165 | 150 | "Super Trunks Has a Weakness!! Cell's Shocking Bombshell Declaration" / "The Cell Games" "Sūpā Torankusu ni Jakuten!! Seru, Shōgeki no Bakudan Hatsugen" (超トランクスに弱点!!セル、衝撃の爆弾発言) | November 18, 1992 | November 8, 2000 |
| As the battle between Trunks and Cell rages on, Cell reveals Trunks's weakness: in his ascended form, his new bulk slows him down. Goku, having ascended in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, also realizes this. He plans to spend as much time as possible as a Super Saiyan to eliminate this weakness. Vegeta recovers, and returns to the island to resume his battle with Cell, with Krillin in tow. Upon their arriving however, Trunks informs them that Cell refuses to defeat him, but rather, plans to revive the World Martial Arts Tournament for a real challenge: he wants to fight anyone on Earth who thinks they have the strength to defeat him once and for all before he destroys it. | ||||

Once Dende arrives on Earth, he creates a new Dragon and a new set of Dragon Balls. This new Dragon will be able to grant two wishes at a time. Goku then begins to gather up the seven balls. | ||||

| With the Cell Games right around the corner, Mr. Satan is busy attending rallies in his own support. Meanwhile, Goku is tracking down the last two Dragon Balls. He finds that General Tao is in possession of them. Rather than risk a fight that he knows he'll lose, Tao challenges Goku to unlock three puzzle rings to earn his Dragon Balls. Finally, Goku gathers all seven Dragon Balls, and just in time, because the Cell Games are ready to start. | ||||

| Mr. Satan's students show up and decide to fight Cell first. Each of them is defeated with virtually no effort from Cell. Mr. Satan then steps in, and is defeated in a more "forceful" manner, with Cell pushing Mr. Satan aside... into the mountainside. Finally, Goku steps into the ring to fight Cell. | ||||

| The fight between Cell and Goku begins, and the Earth begins to shake as they fight. After they finally land back on the ring, it is revealed that it was just their warm-up. Goku prepares to power up to full strength as the real battle is about to begin. | ||||

| With Goku and Cell fully powered up, the battle begins, and as the match progresses, Cell realizes that they are very evenly matched, and so he resorts to trickery. First, he uses Tien's multi-form trick. Then he tries Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon and Frieza's final attack. Frustrated, he fires an incredibly powerful Kamehameha wave. Luckily, Goku is able to direct it away from the planet, and teleport back to the ring. | ||||

| The battle between Goku and Cell continues to heat up. Both of them seem to have even strength and speed. After Goku nearly falls out of the ring, Cell decides to destroy the ring and continue the fight with no rules. With nothing restricting them, the battle quickly intensifies, and as they fight, their power seems to increase. As they fight on, Goku decides to attempt to trick Cell by preparing a Kamehameha wave from up in the air. Cell doesn't believe that Goku would risk destroying the Earth, and so does nothing to defend himself. As the other fighters look on in horror, believing that Goku will release it from the air, Goku uses his Instant Transmission technique, and appears directly beneath Cell. He unleashes the wave directly into Cell's chest, and when the dust clears, Cell is severely maimed. It appears that Goku has won the tournament. | ||||

| As the dust clears, Cell's mangled body becomes visible. While the rest of the Z Fighters believe that they've won, Goku thinks differently. He senses that something isn't right when he can still feel a large amount of energy in what's left of Cell's body. Suddenly, Cell's body stands up, to the horror of virtually everybody, and regenerates the missing parts. Cell's energy has been depleted by the attack, but Goku's energy has been depleted more severely, and as the battle continues, it becomes clear that Goku is no match for Cell. Knowing that he cannot win, he declares that Cell is the winner. The Z Fighters, and Cell, can't believe it. | ||||

| After Goku's shocking declaration, Cell claims victory over Earth. But, Goku says that Cell has one more competitor to fight. Cell has already fought and defeated Vegeta, Trunks, and Piccolo, and these three are supposed to be the strongest of the remaining fighters. Goku stuns everyone by selecting Gohan. He claims that Gohan's strength far exceeds his own. Despite the rest of the Z Fighters' protests, and even despite the fact that Goku willingly gives Cell one of their Senzu beans, Goku remains confident in Gohan's strength. Gohan then powers up and begins his battle with Cell. | ||||

| It appears that Cell has delivered the final blow to Gohan. But, Gohan is able to recover, and he looks more powerful than ever. He warns Cell that if he is pushed, an unbelievable power will be unleashed. He tells him about the time Raditz came to Earth and he was forced to let loose his amazing strength to save Goku. He also tells Cell about the time he had to do the same thing to save Krillin from Frieza. Instead of being scared by this, Cell is intrigued, and is determined to push Gohan to his limit so he can test himself against this awesome strength. | ||||

| Cell begins to punish Gohan in every way he can think of in order to unleash his hidden power. He inflicts as much pain as he can on the young Saiyan warrior. As Cell is trying to crush Gohan, Android 16 jumps in and grabs Cell. He attempts to use the self-destruct explosive inside his chest, but finds that he can't. Krillin reveals that Bulma removed it while repairing him. Cell destroys 16 with one blast, and then turns his attention on Gohan's friends. His tail opens up and seven tiny "Cell Juniors" pop out, one for each of the Z Fighters. | ||||

| The Cell Juniors are attacking the Z Fighters, and there's nothing they can do to defend themselves. Only Trunks and Vegeta are able to remotely put up a fight. As they continue to beat up on them, Android 16's head rolls towards the camera crew, and makes his final wish: he asks Mr. Satan to bring him to Gohan. Running through the crossfire caused by Piccolo's "Rapid fire" technique, he throws 16's head towards Gohan. Once there, 16 tells Gohan that it is okay to fight if you're doing it for the right reasons, and to unleash his power. After he utters his final words, he is crushed by Cell. This is enough to push Gohan over the edge, and to transform into a Super Saiyan 2. | ||||

| Gohan, angered by the destruction of Android 16, begins to ascend to a Super Saiyan 2. Cell initially thinks that Gohan is making the same mistake that Trunks did, by simply powering up. Eventually though, Gohan fully transforms into a Super Saiyan 2, to the amazement of the Z Fighters. Gohan is fully powered up now, to the delight of Cell, until Gohan snatches the bag of Senzu beans from Cell before he realizes it. With the beans in hand, he begins to attack the Cell Juniors. One by one, he destroys each of the Cell Juniors, each with a single blow. Trunks comments that he did the transformation right, increasing his strength without losing speed. When Gohan is finished destroying the Cell Juniors, he gives the senzu beans to Trunks, to distribute to the wounded Z Fighters, and moves on to Cell himself. | ||||

| Cell and Gohan begin to fight, and from the start it is clear that Gohan is far superior to Cell. None of Cell's punches are landing, and Gohan doesn't even appear to be trying. Piccolo comments that the reason Goku fought Cell first was to show Gohan how Cell fights. Cell decides that he should fight at full strength. As he powers up, the Earth itself shakes. But even at full power, and delivering a quick blow to Gohan, Gohan is able to easily deliver two crushing blows to Cell, severely damaging Cell. It appears that Gohan has won, although Piccolo comments that it's not over yet. | ||||

| Gohan, no matter how many attacks Cell throws at him, is totally unfazed by Cell's attacks, and it looks more and more like Gohan will win the battle. Desperate, Cell aims a massive Kamehameha wave at the Earth, hoping to destroy it. Gohan counters this with an even bigger wave, which hits Cell, and dismembers him. Gohan starts to reveal the sadistic qualities of the Super Saiyan 2, preferring to let Cell suffer, despite Goku's protests that Gohan must destroy Cell now. Cell regenerates himself, and becomes enraged, and powers up to an extreme power level, but makes the same mistake that Trunks did, and is unable to hit Gohan due to his size. Gohan then delivers several crushing blows to Cell, including a kick to his gut, which eventually causes Cell to regurgitate Android 18. | ||||

| With Android 18 no longer a part of Cell, he regresses to his second imperfect form and finds himself absolutely no match for Gohan. Goku pleads with Gohan to end the battle immediately, but Gohan's new found arrogance causes him to simply toy with Cell. In desperation, Cell decides to blow himself up along with the planet, but Goku makes the ultimate sacrifice. He transports Cell to King Kai's planet, and they are destroyed in the blast. Goku has managed to save the Earth from certain doom...at the cost of his own life. As the Z Fighters are mourning the loss of their friend, and Gohan angered that his arrogance caused him to lose his father, Cell suddenly reappears and easily kills Trunks with a single blast. | ||||

| Cell is once again in his perfect form after regenerating from his own explosion. He reveals that one single cell was left after the explosion, and that was enough for him to come back. Vegeta becomes enraged at the loss of his son and attempts to take on Cell on his own. He unleashes a barrage of blasts at Cell, but is eventually tossed aside easily by the even more powerful Cell. Cell aims a blast at Vegeta, attempting to finish him off, but Gohan dives in front of him and takes the blast himself. Gohan survives, but is severely injured, losing the use of his left arm, and what's more, Krillin has no senzu beans left. Cell then begins to charge up a Kamehameha blast to destroy the Earth, and proclaims that he will live forever. | ||||

| Cell is through playing games, so he decides to take out Gohan, and the Earth, once and for all. While powering up his Kamehameha wave, he explains how he became Dr. Gero's "ultimate perfection". Gohan thinks this is the end of the world, but suddenly Goku begins to speak to him telepathically through King Kai. He tells Gohan that he has the strength and that he cannot give up. So, despite only being able to use one arm, Gohan powers up the biggest Kamehameha wave he can maneuver and aims it directly at Cell, just as Cell releases his wave. | ||||
| 191 | 176 | "The Battle is Over... Thank You, Son Goku" / "Save the World" "Tatakai wa Owatta... Arigatō Son Gokū" (戦いは終った…ありがとう孫悟空) | June 30, 1993 | December 26, 2000 |
| Gohan and Cell's waves collide, creating a crater in the Earth. As Gohan struggles to put all of his energy into his wave, Cell's wave begins to overtake his, despite the telepathic encouragement of Goku. Seeing that Gohan is losing, Piccolo comes to his aid and attacks Cell. Although the attack is deflected with no effort from Cell, he continues his efforts. Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin all join in, but it is all for nought. Just as it looks like Cell is going to win, Vegeta fires a giant beam directly at Cell, and this distraction is just enough for Gohan to make the final push and defeat Cell. The Perfect Android disintegrates into nothingness, thanks to Gohan's Kamehameha Wave, and the battle was won. | ||||

| With Cell defeated, the Z Fighters head to the lookout to summon the dragon. This dragon is able to grant two wishes, but unfortunately Goku can't be wished back because he's already been brought back from the afterlife. Although they think of a way to revive him, Goku suddenly speaks to all of them through King Kai. He says that all of the trouble that has been caused on Earth is because of him. Frieza, the Androids, and Cell were all after him. He seems to be a magnet for trouble, so he decides to remain in the Other World for the Earth to be safe without Goku. Now they have one more wish left. | ||||

| Because no one can think of a good wish, Krillin decides to use it to turn Android 18 into a human. However, Shenron says it is beyond his power to do that. Then Krillin wishes to take the explosives out of her, which Shenron accepts. After Trunks goes back to his own time, life returns to normal for the rest of the Z Fighters as Gohan tells Chi-Chi that Goku will not come back this time and Chi-Chi begins crying about her loss. | ||||

| Back in his own time, Trunks decides it is time to end the fight once and for all. He finds androids 17 and 18 and easily defeats them. Later, the Imperfect Cell tries to sneak up on Trunks, but Trunks is too quick for him. Trunks, being much more powerful than Cell, quickly dispatches him. The nightmare is finally over. Meanwhile, Goku and King Kai begin their journey to the Otherworld. | ||||

Goku and King Kai go to the Grand Kai's planet, and upon arrival, they learn that Cell, Frieza, King Cold, and the four deceased members of the Ginyu Force are causing trouble in hell.

| West Kai suggests that an Otherworld Martial Arts Tournament be held to determine which quadrant has the greatest fighter. The Grand Kai agrees, and so the Tournament begins. After several matches, it is Goku's turn. His opponent grabs him and starts to tickle him into submission. Goku gets in a hit on him, and this causes his opponent to cry and start his metamorphosis into his ultimate form. But because this metamorphosis takes 1200 years, Goku is declared the winner by default. | ||||

| The quarterfinals of the Otherworld Tournament are under way. In his match, Goku faces an aquatic being who fills the ring with water. Underwater, Goku is no match for him.

| Now at full strength, the battle between Goku and Pikkon really heats up. The stadium is rocked with their awesome power. Since they seem evenly matched, Pikkon reveals his greatest technique: the Thunder Flash attack. Goku is flattened by this powerful blast twice. But when Pikkon decides to use it a third time, Goku finds a weakness. He uses Instant Transmission to appear right behind Pikkon and delivers a Kamehameha wave that blasts him out of the ring. It seems that Goku has won, but the Grand Kai reveals that both Goku and Pikkon touched the ceiling, which disqualifies them both. As a consolation, he offers a private lesson to both of them in a couple hundred years. | ||||

| It's Goten's turn now, and he happens to be fighting the brother of the kid that Trunks knocked out. Goten doesn't seem to understand that the other kids don't have the awesome abilities that he and Trunks have, and wonders why his opponent won't fight seriously. He finally takes this kid out, and makes his way to the finals, where he faces Trunks. Their battle rocks the stadium, and the spectators love it. So far, it's an even match. | ||||

| The match between Goten and Trunks begins to heat up. Trunks gets Goten in a stranglehold, and Goten cannot seem to break free. Desperate, he transforms into a Super Saiyan and busts loose. Trunks is angry, because all of the Saiyan warriors agreed not to transform during the Tournament. To embarrass him for this, Trunks decides to fight the rest of the way without using his left arm. But when Goten seems to have the advantage, he uses his left arm AND transforms into a Super Saiyan to knock Goten out of the ring. Trunks says that since both he and Goten transformed once, they're even. | ||||

| As promised, Hercule begins a match with the junior world champion, which happens to be Trunks. Trunks thinks that Hercule is as strong as he says he is, so he is expecting a real bout. Hercule, in an attempt to trick Trunks, instructs the boy to give him the lightest punch he can. Unfortunately for Hercule, Trunks' lightest punch knocks the "champion" out of the ring, though luckily it is played off as if he let Trunks win. While waiting for the adult tournament to begin, Goku and his friends run into two weird-looking strangers, one of whom says he looks forward to fighting Goku. | ||||

| Trunks and Goten decide to sneak into the adult tournament. They knock out a masked fighter and take his costume, with Goten acting as the legs and Trunks as the head. It is learned that the names of the two mysterious strangers are Shin and Kibito. The tournament draws are out, and in the first round, Goku will be fighting Vegeta! But before that, Krillin, Videl, and Piccolo, who is fighting under the pseudonym 'Majunior', are scheduled to fight their respective matches. | ||||

| In the first match, Krillin easily defeats his incredibly large opponent. Now it's Piccolo's turn to fight the mysterious Shin. Once the match starts, Piccolo seems to be paralyzed with fear. Suddenly, he realizes who Shin is, and forfeits the match. He tells Goku that Shin is unimaginably strong. Videl and the large Spopovich fight next. | ||||

| Videl's fight with Spopovich begins. She seems to have the upper hand in this bout, but every time she knocks him down, he gets back up, even when it seems impossible. As the fight continues, Spopovich begins to take the upper hand. To counter, Videl deals him a ferocious kick to the head. This kick turns Spopovich's head all the way around! Although it seems like he is dead, he suddenly gets back up and straightens his head out. Meanwhile, Shin reveals to Piccolo that he is the Supreme Kai. He gives him no more details, but tells Piccolo to keep it a secret. | ||||

| Spopovich starts wailing on Videl, and there's nothing she can do about it. When it seems like he is about to deal out her final blow, Gohan decides that he's seen too much, and goes out to rescue her. Suddenly Yamu, Spopovich's partner, tells him to stop punishing Videl and to finish the match. Spopovich tosses her out of the ring, and he and Yamu leave for the moment. With Videl badly injured, Goku goes to get some senzu beans from Korin. | ||||

| Gohan is waiting anxiously for Goku to return with the senzu beans. Finally, the hero arrives, and Gohan takes a bean to Videl, who heals instantly. Gohan and Kibito start their match, but no punches are thrown. Kibito asks to see Gohan's Super Saiyan power, and Piccolo tells Gohan to show him. Piccolo informs the others that Shin is the Supreme Kai, who then informs the Z Fighters not to intervene if anything happens to Gohan. Gohan begins to power up. | ||||

| Gohan fully powers up, and just as Supreme Kai predicted, Spopovich and Yamu suddenly attack him. They stick a weird device inside him, steal all of his energy, and then leave. Supreme Kai takes off after them, and Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, and Vegeta follow. Kibito heals Gohan, and those two and Videl also leave. Supreme Kai explains that long ago there was a wizard named Bibidi who created a monster with unbelievable destructive power. Supreme Kai killed Bibidi, and the monster, Majin Buu, was left sealed in a ball. Now Bibidi's son, Babidi, has come to resurrect the monster, and they plan to use Gohan's stolen energy to do it. | ||||

| Videl can't keep up with Gohan and Kibito, so she decides to go back. Before she leaves she realizes that Gohan was the kid who defeated Cell and not her father, and says that she will date him once he comes back. They follow Spopovich and Yamu to Babidi's spaceship. Babidi comes out, along with his new partner Dabura, the King of the Demons. After Spopovich and Yamu deliver the energy to Babidi, the wizard has no use for them, and he kills both of them. | ||||
| 221 | 206 | "The Awaiting Trap!! A Challenge from the Demon Realm" / "King of the Demons" "Machiukeru Wana!! Makai kara no Chōsenjō" (待ち受けるワナ!!魔界からの挑戦状) | March 16, 1994 | October 16, 2001 |
| Babidi enters the spaceship, but Dabura suddenly flies over to the Z Fighters, and he kills Kibito. Goku and Vegeta take some shots at him, but they miss. Dabura spits on Krillin and Piccolo, turning them both to stone. The only way to revive them is to kill Dabura. This lures the warriors into the ship. Upon arrival, they meet Babidi's henchman, Pui Pui, who tells them that they must fight a different opponent on each level of the spaceship, and as they are beaten up, their energy will be absorbed by the room and injected into the ball that contains Buu. | ||||
| 222 | 207 | "Don't Toy With Me!! Vegeta's Breakthrough First Strike of Fury" / "Vegeta Attacks" "Nameru na!! Bejīta Ikari no Shosen Toppa" (なめるな!!ベジータ怒りの初戦突破) | March 23, 1994 | October 17, 2001 |
| Vegeta starts to beat up Pui Pui with no effort. To give his fighter the advantage, Babidi changes the room to mimic Pui Pui's home planet, where the gravity is ten times that of Earth's. Unfortunately for Pui Pui, Vegeta trains at five hundred times of earth's gravity, and he easily destroys Pui Pui. They move on to the second level where Goku will fight Babidi's pet monster Yakon. | ||||
| 223 | 208 | "Goku's Power Wide Open!! Blow Away Yakon" / "Next Up, Goku" "Gokū Pawā Zenkai!! Buttobe Yakon" (悟空パワー全開!!ブッ飛べヤコン) | April 13, 1994 | October 18, 2001 |
| Goku and Yakon start to fight. Goku is obviously stronger than Yakon, so Babidi changes the environment to mimic the Planet of Darkness, which is Yakon's home planet. To help himself see, Goku becomes a Super Saiyan. Yakon, the devourer of light, sucks up the light emitting from Goku. Seeing this, Goku again becomes a Super Saiyan, allowing Yakon to suck up all the light energy he can. Finally, he becomes a Super Saiyan 2 and gives off a flash of brilliant energy which is too much for Yakon to handle. Victorious, the fighters head to the next level. | ||||
| 224 | 209 | "A Great Miscalculation!! Satan vs. Three Super-Warriors!?" / "Battle Supreme" "Daigosan!! Satan tai Sannin no Chōsenshi!?" (大誤算!!サタンVS3人の超戦士!?) | April 20, 1994 | October 22, 2001 |
| The fighters move to the third level. This time, it's Gohan's turn to fight. Dabura decides that he will fight this time, but first he goes to the meditation chamber to prepare. Meanwhile, back at the World Martial Arts Tournament, only five fighters remain because the rest of them flew away. Hercule decides to finish the tournament with all five remaining fighters in the ring at the same time. 18 takes out one of them, and Mighty Mask, composed of Goten and Trunks, takes out another. Now it's down to those two and Hercule. | ||||
| 225 | 210 | "Such Strong Kids!! No. 18's Close Fight!?" / "Eighteen Unmasks" "Tsuyoi ze Chibikko!! Jūhachigō Daikusen!?" (強いぜチビッコ!!18号大苦戦!?) | April 27, 1994 | October 23, 2001 |
| 18 and Mighty Mask (Goten and Trunks) start to fight, and because they are able to use their arms and legs simultaneously as Mighty Mask, they have the upper hand against 18. But when she steps up the intensity, they can't keep up with her, so they decide to turn into Super Saiyans. This, of course, blows their cover, and they are disqualified as teams are not allowed in the tournament as Goten and Trunks are forced to flee. Now it is down to 18 and Hercule. Meanwhile, Dabura has finally finished his meditation, and is ready to fight Gohan. | ||||
| 226 | 211 | "Confrontation with the Demon King! It's Your Turn, Gohan!!" / "Pay to Win" "Tachihadakaru Maō! Deban da Gohan!!" (たちはだかる魔王！出番だ悟飯!!) | May 4, 1994 | October 24, 2001 |
| 18 gets Hercule in a headlock, and she uses the opportunity to cut him a deal: she'll throw the match if he pays her double what he wins for the title. He reluctantly agrees, and the fight soon ends with Hercule as the victor. Over in Babidi's spaceship, Dabura finally emerges ready to fight. Babidi sends them to a planet similar to earth so their fight won't damage the ship. As their battle begins, Gohan finds that Dabura is a tough opponent, so he revs up his power to Super Saiyan level. | ||||
| 227 | 212 | "A Wicked Heart Discovered!! Dabura's Great Idea" / "Heart of a Villain" "Mitsukerareta Jashin!! Dābura no Meian" (見つけられた邪心!!ダーブラの名案) | May 18, 1994 | October 25, 2001 |
| Gohan and Dabura continue fighting, and from the outset it is clear that Gohan has lost his edge. He hasn't trained for seven years. He was even stronger when he was a kid. Dabura is beating him fairly easily, and Vegeta starts to lose his cool. Noticing this, Dabura tells Babidi to return them all to the ship. He privately informs Babidi that Vegeta has a terrible rage burning inside him, and that he could be made to serve their purposes. Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks see Videl flying back to the stadium, and she tells them all about what's happening. Excited at the prospect of seeing magic and a wizard (although they reveal that they don't even know what a wizard is), they race off after the others. | ||||
| 228 | 213 | "Vegeta, Prince of Destruction, Revived!! Intrusion at the Tournament" / "The Dark Prince Returns" "Hakai Ōji Bejīta Fukkatsu!! Butōkai Rannyū" (破壊王子ベジータ復活!!武闘会乱入) | May 25, 1994 | October 29, 2001 |
| Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and the supreme kai are left wondering why Dabura suddenly stopped the fight. Vegeta berates Gohan for not defeating Dabura and Gohan realized that Vegeta should've fought Dabura and then Krillin and Piccolo would be restored to normal. Vegeta decides to blow up the ship and Supreme Kai begs him not to and Vegeta refuses to listen and Goku stops Vegeta. Supreme Kai then realizes that Vegeta is the new recruit that Dabura was talking about. Suddenly, Babidi tries to take over Vegeta's mind. Although he is urged to fight it, Babidi's magic is too strong, and Vegeta's impure heart gives in. Now with Babidi's "M" on his forehead, he has turned evil. Babidi transports them all back to the World Martial Arts stadium where he instructs Vegeta to kill his friends. Vegeta refuses, as he apparently has not lost complete control of his mind. He says that his only goal is to fight Goku. To bait Goku into fighting him, Vegeta destroys part of the stadium, killing many fans. | ||||
| 229 | 214 | "The Super-confrontation of Destiny!! The Clash of Goku vs. Vegeta" / "Vegeta's Pride" "Shukumei no Chōtaiketsu!! Gekitotsu Gokū tai Bejīta" (宿命の超対決!!激突悟空VSベジータ) | June 15, 1994 | October 30, 2001 |
| Goku refuses to fight Vegeta, so Vegeta destroys another part of the stadium. To avoid any further casualties, Goku reluctantly agrees to fight. The Supreme Kai tries to stop him, but he sees that it is no use. Goku tells Babidi to transport them far away from people, and the wizard obliges. The Supreme Kai and Gohan decide to break into the next level of the ship and try and stop Babidi. To avoid this, Babidi commands Vegeta to kill the Supreme Kai, but Vegeta refuses. Though Babidi is possessing him, Vegeta can only focus on one thing: fighting Goku. Goku gives Gohan one of the last two senzu beans before he and the Supreme Kai go further into the ship. Vegeta and Goku power themselves up to their maximum level, and are ready to fight. | ||||
| 230 | 215 | "Just You Wait, Babidi!! Your Aspirations Will Not Be Allowed" / "The Long Awaited Fight" "Mattero Babidi!! Yabō wa Yurusanai" (待ってろバビディ!!野望は許さない) | June 22, 1994 | October 31, 2001 |
| Goku and Vegeta start to fight, and their raw power is astounding. Both fighters possess incredible ability, and so far, the fight seems to be a draw. Vegeta is able to lock Goku to a boulder with cuffs made of energy. He tells Goku how he has stolen his royal destiny by beating Frieza and becoming a Super Saiyan first, and how insulting it was to be surpassed in power by the child Gohan. Goku is able to break free, and the battle resumes with crushing force. Meanwhile, Gohan and the Supreme Kai have made it all the way to Buu's ball, but Babidi and Dabura are waiting for them. | ||||
| 231 | 216 | "The Seal is Broken! Out Comes the Vicious Majin Boo!!" / "Magic Ball of Buu" "Toketa Fūin! Deruzo Kyōaku Majin Bū!!" (解けた封印！出るぞ凶悪魔人ブウ!!) | June 29, 1994 | November 1, 2001 |
| Goku and Vegeta continue their battle. Vegeta reveals that he knew he could never surpass Goku's strength, so he allowed himself to be taken over by Babidi. He had seen what it had done to Spopovich and Yamu, and he wanted the power for himself. He also says that he wanted Babidi to reawaken the evil in his heart. Over the years, he had become like a normal person; he had a wife and a son, and thought the earth was a nice place to live. He wanted Babidi's magic to free him from "those petty attachments", but Goku doesn't believe him. Meanwhile, before Gohan and the supreme kai can stop Babidi, Buu has finally gathered enough energy, and has begun to hatch. | ||||
| 232 | 217 | "I Won't Allow the Revival!! A Kamehame-Ha of Resistance" / "Buu is Hatched!" "Fukkatsu Sasenai!! Teikō no Kamehameha" (復活させない!!抵抗のかめはめ波) | July 6, 1994 | November 5, 2001 |
| In an attempt to abort the hatching, Gohan begins firing Kamehameha waves at the ball, but it doesn't seem to do much good. The ball opens, but after some pink steam escapes, there is nothing left in the ball. They believe that Gohan destroyed Buu with his energy blasts, but suddenly the pink steam begins to congeal. It forms into Majin Buu. Instead of a fearsome beast, Buu is a fat, pink child, but the Supreme Kai knows that it is really Majin Buu and not something else. Goku and Vegeta have noticed the sudden upsurge in power, and realize that Buu has been hatched. | ||||
| 233 | 218 | "A Straight Line to Despair!? The Grief of Kaioshin" / "The Losses Begin" "Zetsubō e Itchokusen!? Nageki no Kaiōshin" (絶望へ一直線!?嘆きの界王神) | July 13, 1994 | November 6, 2001 |
| Dabura insults Majin Buu, and with a single blow, Buu dispatches with the King of the Demons. Goku and Vegeta feel Buu's surge of power, and Goku convinces Vegeta to postpone the fight until they can take out Buu. Vegeta says he doesn't want Goku distracted while they're fighting. As Goku is preparing to leave, Vegeta knocks him out with a blow to the head and takes the final senzu bean, and promises to kill Buu himself. Babidi's first order to Majin Buu is to kill Gohan and the supreme kai. Gohan grabs Shin and takes off, but even with their head start, Buu catches up to them with blinding speed. With a single blow, Buu puts Gohan out of commission, leaving the Supreme Kai unguarded. | ||||
| 234 | 219 | "The Terrifying Majin!! Death's Dread Draws Near Gohan" / "The Terror of Majin Buu" "Majin Osorubeshi!! Gohan ni Semaru Shi no Kyōfu" (魔人恐るべし!!悟飯に迫る死の恐怖) | July 27, 1994 | November 7, 2001 |
| The supreme kai defends himself as best he can against Buu, but he is no match for him. Buu pounds the supreme kai into the ground, and is preparing to eat him when Gohan flies in and knocks Buu away. Gohan's recovery is short-lived, because Buu hits him with an energy blast of incredible power. As Gohan falls to the earth in a forest somewhere, he is very badly injured. Goten and Trunks arrive at the outskirts of the scene and notice the "statues" of Piccolo and Krillin. Trunks accidentally breaks the Piccolo statue. As Buu is preparing to eat Shin, Dabura suddenly throws a spear through him. Dabura warns Babidi that he will soon lose control of Buu and his monster will turn on him. Babidi doesn't believe him, and now Buu's plans have changed: Dabura is next on the menu. | ||||
| 235 | 220 | "'Gonna Eat'cha!!' The Hungry Majin's Supernatural Powers" / "Meal Time" "Tabechau zo!! Harapeko Majin no Chōnōryoku" (食べちゃうぞ!!腹ペコ魔人の超能力) | August 3, 1994 | November 8, 2001 |
| Dabura tries his best to destroy Buu, but he is nowhere near strong enough to do the job. Buu turns him into a cookie and eats him. With Dabura gone, Krillin and Piccolo, despite his statue being slightly broken, are able to come back to life. Just as Buu's about to eat the Supreme Kai, Vegeta makes his presence known by destroying Babidi's spaceship. Vegeta knows what Buu did to Gohan, and he vows that when Goku regains consciousness, this will all be over, even if it costs him his own life. He promises to atone for what he's done, and he powers up. At full strength, he ferociously attacks Buu. | ||||
| 236 | 221 | "A Warrior's Resolution!! I Will Dispose of the Majin" / "The Warrior's Decision" "Senshi no Ketsui!! Majin wa Ore ga Shimatsu-suru" (戦士の決意!!魔人はオレが始末する) | August 17, 1994 | November 12, 2001 |
| Though incredibly powerful, Vegeta's attacks do nothing to Majin Buu. He even blasts a hole in the monster, but Buu is able to regenerate his body. Tired of playing around, Buu rocks the entire planet by powering up. He then rips off part of his own belly and is able to wrap it around Vegeta. Trapped, the Saiyan prince can do nothing to defend himself. Trunks can't stand to see his father tortured like this, so he powers up and jets off to help him, and Goten follows. | ||||
| 237 | 222 | "For Those Whom He Loves... Vegeta Perishes!!" / "Final Atonement" "Ai suru Mono no Tame ni... Bejīta Chiru!!" (愛する者のために...ベジータ散る!!) | August 24, 1994 | November 13, 2001 |
| Trunks knocks Buu away from his father, and he and Goten free Vegeta from his bonds. Piccolo attacks Babidi, and despite the wizard using all of his magic to defend himself, Piccolo is able to slice him in half. Vegeta recovers, and tells Trunks that he is proud of him. For the first time, Vegeta embraces his son. He then knocks out Goten and Trunks, allowing Piccolo to carry them away to safety. With Buu back and ready for more, Vegeta makes the ultimate sacrifice: he erupts in a blinding flash of light, certainly killing anything near him, including himself. | ||||
| 238 | 223 | "The Nightmare Revisited!! Majin Boo Has Survived" / "Evil Lives On" "Akumu Futatabi! Ikiteita Majin Bū" (悪夢ふたたび!!生きていた魔人ブウ) | August 31, 1994 | September 16, 2002 |
| After Vegeta's eruption, Piccolo returns to the scene of the battle. He finds no sign of Vegeta left, and that Buu has been blasted into thousands of small pieces. He also finds the top half of Babidi, who is begging for help. Suddenly, the pieces of Buu begin to reform. They all combine to make Majin Buu whole again. Knowing he's outmatched, Piccolo retreats. Buu heals Babidi, and the two embark on a killing spree. Piccolo catches up with Krillin, telling him that the world's last hope, Goten and Trunks, must be protected. Krillin is instructed to take the two young Saiyans to Dende's lookout. Meanwhile, the Supreme Kai has recovered, and is searching for Gohan. | ||||
| 239 | 224 | "The Struggle of Videl and the Others! Find the Dragon Balls" / "Find the Dragon Balls" "Bīderutachi no Funtō! Sagase Doragon Bōru" (ビーデルたちの奮闘！探せ神龍球（ドラゴンボール）) | September 7, 1994 | September 17, 2002 |
| Yamcha, 18, Bulma, Videl, and Chi Chi, among others, go looking for the Dragon Balls. Their search for the seventh one leads them to a nest full of eggs, but before Bulma can grab it, a dinosaur eats the entire nest. Yamcha hits the beast with an energy ball, which causes it to fly into the ocean. Videl goes swimming after it, and with a little help from Master Roshi, they are able to extract the ball. Piccolo and Krillin arrive at the lookout with the unconscious Goten and Trunks. Soon after, Goku regains consciousness and appears at the lookout himself. | ||||
| 240 | 225 | "Enormous Hope!! A New Finishing Technique for the Little Squirts" / "Revival" "Dekkai Kibō!! Chibitachi no Shin Hissatsu Waza" (でっかい希望!!チビたちの新必殺技) | September 21, 1994 | September 18, 2002 |
| While discussing tactics, Goku reveals that he knows of a method by which two similar-sized people can fuse together into one ultimate being. They decide that Goten and Trunks will learn this new trick, but the only problem is that it will take about a week to learn it, and Goku has less than a day left on Earth. Piccolo decides to teach the boys after Goku is gone. Suddenly, the sky turns black, and they realize that Bulma is calling the dragon. Goku uses Instant Transmission to appear at Capsule Corp., but she has already made one wish. Her wish was to bring back everyone that died today. Goku tells Shenron that they will postpone their second wish, and uses Instant Transmission to take everyone there back to the lookout with him. Meanwhile, Kibito awakens because of the wish, and the Supreme Kai is still searching for Gohan. | ||||
| 241 | 226 | "Goten and Trunks — The World's Most Wanted" / "Global Announcement" "Goten Torankusu Zensekai ni Shimei Tehai" (悟天トランクス全世界に指名手配) | September 28, 1994 | September 19, 2002 |
| Kibito finds the Supreme Kai and heals him. Then, both of them find Gohan, and decide to take him to the world of the Kais. Meanwhile, back at the lookout, Goku breaks the news about Vegeta and Gohan to everyone, as both of them are believed to be dead. As expected, everyone is shocked; Chi-Chi faints after realizing that she has now lost both her husband and son, Bulma screams for Vegeta and breaks down crying, and Videl becomes heartbroken and cries, but refuses to believe Gohan is dead. They are just about to wake Trunks and Goten when Babidi suddenly starts a global announcement. He tells everyone that he and Majin Buu will terrorize the entire planet until Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks show themselves. To give them a taste of what's in store, he shows Buu turning the entire population of a major city into small candies, which he greedily consumes. | ||||
| 242 | 227 | "Gohan Revived — Kaioshin's Secret Weapon!?" / "Learn to Fuse" "Gohan Fukkatsu!! Kaiōshin no Himitsu Heiki!?" (悟飯復活界王神の秘密兵器!?) | October 12, 1994 | September 23, 2002 |
| Babidi tells the earth that anyone with any information about Piccolo, Goten, or Trunks should tell him. To stop any further damage, Piccolo wants to turn himself in, but Goku convinces him not to, because he knows that even if the three turn themselves it, it won't stop Buu's destruction. Goten and Trunks wake up, and they learn about Vegeta and Gohan's (supposed) demise. Goku is harsh with them, because they can't waste any time mourning right now. The boys, although angry at Goku for not saving Gohan and Vegeta, know that they must be tough to stop Majin Buu. In the world of the Kais, Kibito heals Gohan, and the Supreme Kai tells him about the Z Sword. It is a mystical sword that contains great power, and even the Kais themselves could not pull it from the rock it is now stuck in. The Supreme Kai believes that Gohan possesses the strength to do so. | ||||
| 243 | 228 | "It Came Ou~t!! The Legendary Z-Sword" / "The Z Sword" "Nuketā〜!! Densetsu no Zetto Sōdo" (抜けたァ～!!伝説のゼットソード) | October 19, 1994 | September 24, 2002 |
| Gohan attempts to free the Z Sword, but can't do it in his normal state. He transforms into a Super Saiyan, and with a mighty heave, he frees the sword from the rock. To his great surprise, the sword is incredibly heavy, and he must now train himself to use it. Back on earth, Babidi and Buu continue their reign of terror, and Goten and Trunks tell him that they're going to destroy him and Buu. | ||||
| 244 | 229 | "Metro West is Targeted! Stop, Majin Boo!!" / "Race to Capsule Corp." "Nerawareta Nishi no Miyako! Tomare Majin Bū!!" (狙われた西の都！止まれ魔人ブウ!!) | November 2, 1994 | September 25, 2002 |
| Goten and Trunks begin their fusion training, but it is soon interrupted by Babidi. He announces that he has learned where Trunks lives, and he and Buu are now on their way to kill him. Goku sends Trunks to get the Dragon Radar from Capsule Corporation before it is destroyed, and he himself heads off to slow down Buu and Babidi. He asks Buu why he takes orders from someone as weak as Babidi. Though Buu seems intrigued by the thought of killing his master, he dislikes Goku as much as he does Babidi, so he decides to attack Goku. Goku knows that an ascended Super Saiyan isn't enough to stop Buu, so he says he'll take it up to the next level. | ||||

| To buy as much time as possible, Goku demonstrates the Super Saiyan transformations. He starts in his normal form, then goes to Super Saiyan, then Super Saiyan 2. He then transforms into Super Saiyan 3, and the immense power of this transformation rocks the entire planet. His hair grows down to his knees, and his eyes change, and his eyebrows disappear. His power is so incredible that Gohan, the Supreme Kai, and Kibito can feel it in the world of the Kais. As a Super Saiyan 3, he possesses even more power than Majin Buu. He starts to pound Buu with relative ease. At Capsule Corporation, Trunks and Dr. Brief frantically search for the Dragon Radar. | ||||

| Goku continues his awesome display of power, but with each blow to Majin Buu, the monster gets even more powerful. He seems to have an unlimited well of energy to use. Bulma calls Trunks on Videl's cell phone to tell him that she left the Dragon Radar in the airplane. He retrieves the radar, and heads back to the lookout. Goku senses this, and decides to end his fight with Buu. He once again tells Buu that he's much too skilled to be taking orders from Babidi. Goku Instantly Transmits himself back to the lookout. This time, Buu takes Goku's advice and turns on his master. He executes Babidi. Meanwhile, Gohan continues his training with the Z Sword. | ||||

| Without Babidi to control him, Majin Buu goes on a spree of destruction. Trunks returns to the lookout with the Dragon Radar. Baba shows up to tell Goku that he only has thirty minutes left. His transformation into Super Saiyan 3 was very draining, and it ate up a lot of his time that was left. Even though he is exhausted, he begins teaching Goten and Trunks the Fusion Dance. On the world of the Kais, Gohan begins training with even more intensity than before, determined to save the universe from Majin Buu. | ||||

| Buu clears some space in the countryside and builds a house for him to live in. Goten and Trunks continue learning the Fusion Dance, and begin to master the technique. They each plead with Goku for him to show them the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, and because he knows his time is up, Goku complies. Soon after the transformation, Baba shows up to take him away. Goku says goodbye to everyone, including Chi-Chi and Goten at the lookout and tells them that he will find Gohan in Other World, but Videl insists that Gohan is still alive somewhere. Once again, he is gone, leaving Piccolo in charge of training Goten and Trunks. | ||||

| Back in Other World, Goku visits King Yemma to ask him if he's seen Gohan. King Yemma says that Gohan has not checked in. Thrilled that his son is still alive just like Videl said, he searches for his energy signal, and uses Instant Transmission to go there. He starts to help Gohan with his training with the Z Sword until Gohan is ready to fight Buu again. Piccolo continues training Goten and Trunks to fuse. Buu happens upon a blind kid named Tommy, who doesn't seem to be scared of him. Buu restores the kid's vision, but to his surprise, the child is not afraid of him. He is grateful that Buu made him see, and considers Buu a friend. Buu seems to like friendship more than fear. | ||||

| Goku throws a giant boulder at Gohan to test his abilities with the Z Sword. Gohan makes a clean cut, so the Supreme Kai conjures up a block of the hardest metal in the universe. This time, the sword can't cut it, and breaks under the pressure. But from out of the Z Sword comes Old Kai, who is fifteen generations older than Supreme Kai. In exchange for a date with Bulma, Old Kai agrees to awaken Gohan's sleeping powers. He starts to do a strange dance in circles around the Saiyan, and says that it will take 5 hours to awaken his sleeping power. Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks have finally mastered the Fusion Dance, and are ready to attempt it for real. | ||||

| Goten and Trunks attempt to fuse, and their first attempt yields a weird-looking fat kid with very little power. Their second attempt creates an old, emaciated weakling. Finally, the two are perfectly in sync, and make Gotenks. Piccolo tells him to wait thirty minutes for the fusion to wear off so they can try it as Super Saiyans. Gotenks thinks he's powerful enough already and takes off to find Majin Buu. He is able to get some hits in on the monster, but when Buu steps up the intensity, Gotenks is no match and is easily defeated. Meanwhile, on the world of the Kais, Old Kai continues the long ceremony needed to awaken Gohan's hidden power. | ||||

| Goten and Trunks heal up from their injuries. They will train the rest of the day and fight Majin Buu tomorrow at full strength. On the world of the Kais, Old Kai has finished his five-hour ritual. Now Gohan must sit and meditate for twenty more hours for his power to awaken. Back at Buu's house, Hercule arrives to defeat the evil creature. He tries some tricks with poison candy and exploding video games, but they have no effect on the monster. Buu decides to be friends with Hercule. | ||||

| Goten and Trunks successfully fuse as Super Saiyans, but once again, their ego takes over. Gotenks spends all of his time flying around the earth at full speed, and by the time he decides to attack Buu, his 30 minutes are up. Back at Buu's house, Hercule is doing his best to please the monster. He even cooks him dinner. While away murdering people, Buu finds an injured dog and heals him. Buu discovers the joys of friendship with this dog, and when Hercule tells Buu that killing is bad, Buu vows never to kill again. But while Buu and his pet are playing fetch, two crazed gunmen shoot the dog. | ||||

| The two gunmen proceed to shoot rockets at Buu's house. Hercule runs up to the hill they're on and pounds each of them. Buu is able to heal the dog, and the three friends continue having fun. Buu rebuilds his house to look like the dog, which he names Bee. While Hercule is cooking a meal for Buu, one of the gunmen sneaks into Buu's house and shoots the World Champ. Buu starts to lose control of himself. After he heals Hercule, he instructs him to get away. Buu begins giving off more steam than ever, and the steam is congealing in the sky. It forms the evil side of Buu, a tall, thin, gray version of Majin Buu. Evil Buu flies over to the gunman and blasts him into oblivion. | ||||

| Evil Buu and Good Buu begin to fight, and it's clear that Evil Buu has the advantage. Good Buu becomes desperate and angry and resorts to trying to turn his opponent into chocolate, but Evil Buu deflects the ray back at Good Buu, who becomes a piece of chocolate. Evil Buu consumes the chocolate, and transforms into Super Buu, a bulkier, pink version of Evil Buu. Super Buu blows up the other gunman, and spies another person hiding nearby. He is about to destroy the other person, when he realizes that it's Hercule. He spares his friend, and flies off. He arrives at Dende's lookout. | ||||

| Buu demands to fight Gotenks, but Piccolo knows that the boys aren't ready. To buy time, he tells Buu that he can spend a day killing the rest of the people on earth. Buu starts walking around the edge of the lookout, and Piccolo uses this time to tell Krillin to wake up the boys and get them into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train. Buu completes his walk, and raises up his arm. Millions of energy blasts start flying out of his hand down to earth, and they kill virtually everyone left. After this Human Extinction Attack is finished, only Hercule, the dog Bee, Tien, and Chiaotzu remain on the surface, as well as the people on the lookout. Piccolo asks for Super Buu to wait for one hour, and Videl agrees. Buu complies, because Videl is the daughter of Hercule. | ||||

| Chi Chi slaps Super Buu for she thinks he killed Gohan, and in retaliation, Buu turns her into an egg and crushes her. Goten vows to train as hard as he can for what Buu did to his mother. The boys enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and begin to train. Buu's patience wears off after thirty minutes, and he demands to fight his opponent right now. Piccolo reluctantly agrees to take Buu to the Chamber, but he takes the longest route possible, giving the boys as much time as he can. He telepathically warns them that he is bringing Buu to them so they can rest up in time. The boys seem to have developed a few new tricks, and they have planned their fight with Buu. Finally, Piccolo and Buu arrive at the chamber, and Goten and Trunks fuse together. | ||||

| Super Buu and Gotenks begin to fight, and Gotenks decides to use some of his new special moves. The problem is that these moves, while flashy, are ineffective against Buu, not to mention they have ridiculous names, like the "Screaming Angry Wombat". After it is clear that these moves have no effect, Gotenks talks strategy with Piccolo. He then creates a ring of energy, the "Galactic Doughnut" and uses it to trap Buu. After a brief struggle, Buu is able to break the ring. The two then do a bit of real fighting. Gotenks decides to use another one of his special moves, called the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. He spits out a ghost of himself, and plans to use it against Buu. | ||||

| Gotenks creates ten ghosts that detonate with explosive force when they are touched. He sends all but one at Super Buu, and they reduce him to a deformed puddle of his former self. Gotenks sends the final one down Buu's mouth, blowing him into tiny pieces. Gotenks and Piccolo destroy all of the pieces, but the smoke coming from the pieces gathers above their heads and reforms Super Buu. To play up the drama of the situation, Gotenks acts like he's out of ideas, and Buu begins beating up the fused Saiyan. Thinking that Gotenks cannot stop Buu, Piccolo destroys the door to the outside world, which traps the three of them in the Chamber for all eternity. | ||||
| 260 | 245 | "Escape From Another Dimension!! Super Gotenks 3" / "Feeding Frenzy" "Ijigen kara no Dasshutsu!! Sūpā Gotenkusu Surī" (異次元からの脱出!!超ゴテンクス3) | March 15, 1995 | October 23, 2002 |
| Hysterically upset at the prospect of being trapped in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber forever, with nothing to destroy and no candy to eat, Super Buu starts to scream. To everyone's surprise including his own, his screams become so powerful that they create a hole in the barrier between the dimensions of the chamber and Earth. Buu changes shape in order to fit through it, and the hole closes, leaving Piccolo and Gotenks trapped. Back on The Lookout, Buu is hungry and excited at the prospect of turning more people into food, and so he turns everyone on the lookout into chocolate. Piccolo and Gotenks have been attempting to scream loud enough to create an inter-dimensional hole like Buu did, but they have no success. Gotenks decides to play his trump card, transforming into a Super Saiyan 3. In this state, he has the power necessary to create a hole for him and Piccolo to jump through. Upon their return to the lookout, Buu tells Gotenks that he ate all of his friends, and enraged, Gotenks promises Buu that he will pay. | ||||

| Gotenks and Super Buu begin to fight, and the collateral damage from the battle begins to destroy The Lookout. Buu slams Gotenks down through The Lookout itself. Down on earth, Gotenks tries another Super Ghost Kamikaze attack, but it once again fails. Buu lands a powerful hit on Gotenks that sends him flying back into The Lookout. Buu then folds himself into a ball, and begins repeatedly shooting himself through The Lookout until all that's left is rubble floating in the air. While still in a ball, Gotenks is able to trap him in a little sphere. He and Piccolo then play some volleyball with Buu, and Gotenks spikes him down to earth. Just when it seems like Buu is dead, a powerful blast of energy comes from the crater. With Buu once again ready to fight, Gotenks only has a few minutes until he separates. | ||||

| Gotenks and Buu continue their fight. Gotenks seems to be wearing Buu down, and he now has the upper hand in the fight. Just as he's about to hit Buu with his final move, Gotenks unexpectedly returns straight to his normal state from his Super Saiyan 3 form. The power was too high for him to sustain. Buu begins beating up Gotenks, who is now no match for him. Gohan has finally finished his training, and is ready to return to earth. After saying goodbye to Goku for what they both believe will be the last time, Kibito takes him back, and Gohan asks him to change his clothes. He's now wearing clothes just like Goku and arrives just in time, because Gotenks has separated. | ||||

| Gohan arrives at the scene, and everyone is shocked at how much power he has. After Gohan expertly pounds him to a pulp, Buu heals himself and steps up the intensity, but Gohan still has the upper hand. He is easily picking Buu apart. | ||||
| 264 | 249 | "Has He Done It!? Majin Boo's Great Explosion" / "Search for Survivors" "Yatta ka!? Majin Bū Daibakuhatsu" (やったか!?魔人ブウ大爆発) | May 17, 1995 | October 30, 2002 |
| Realizing that he's totally outmatched, Buu decides to self-destruct, hoping to take Gohan with him. Gohan escapes before Buu explodes, and he takes the others with him out of the blast radius. Afterwards, there is no sign of Buu, but Gohan knows that he's still around. They suddenly detect Dende's energy signal, and they go to find him. On the way, they pick up Hercule Satan and the dog, Bee. Dende explains that as Buu was escaping through the interdimensional hole, Mr. Popo threw him from the lookout, because without Dende, there would be no Dragon Balls to grant the wishes they intend to use to reverse all the damage. Buu tracks them down, but instead of having a rematch with Gohan, he calls out Goten and Trunks. | ||||
| 265 | 250 | "Boo's Worst Foul! Gotenks is Absorbed!?" / "Majin Buu Transforms" "Bū Saiaku no Hansoku!! Gotenkusu Kyūshū!?" (ブウ最悪の反則!!ゴテンクス吸収!?) | May 24, 1995 | November 4, 2002 |
| Unknown to the others, Buu secretly separates two chunks from his back, and the two pink blobs creep around behind the others. As soon as Goten and Trunks fuse, one of the blobs encases Gotenks. Piccolo, too, has been covered by a pink blob. Buu calls each of the blobs back to him, which merge with him, changing his appearance and giving him access to all of Piccolo's and Gotenks memories, abilities and power. The new and improved Super Buu then fights Gohan, and it's clear that Buu has the advantage. Gohan is unable to keep up with Buu's new speed and strength. Buu taunts Gohan by telling him what his three friends that were absorbed think of him. | ||||
| 266 | 251 | "For the Sake of the Entire Universe... Return to Life, Son Goku" / "The Old Kai's Weapon" "Zen'uchū no Tame ni... Yomigaere Son Gokū" (全宇宙のために…よみがえれ孫悟空) | May 31, 1995 | November 5, 2002 |
| Gohan is no match for the new Super Buu. Buu now possesses new skills, such as the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack and the Special Beam Cannon, each of which he uses on Gohan. He is about to finish Gohan, when Bee comes running up. Hercule tries to save Bee, but is only several times stronger than the average human - nothing compared to Buu. Buu is about to blast each of them when Gohan saves them. Buu then uses Gotenks' Galactic Doughnut trick on Gohan, and aims a Kamehameha wave at him, but Gohan is able to summon enough strength to break free and move out of the way in time. Meanwhile, in Other World, King Yemma decides to send Vegeta back to earth to help in the fight against Majin Buu. On the world of the Kais, Old Kai decides to give his life to Goku so he can return to Earth and fight Buu. The now deceased Old Kai gives Goku his earrings. He explains to Goku that if he and another person each wear one, they will fuse together. | ||||
| 267 | 252 | "The Miracle Happens Once... Will the Super Combination With Gohan Come About?" / "Ready to Fuse?" "Kiseki wa Ichido... Naru ka Gohan to no Chōgattai" (奇跡は一度…なるか悟飯との超合体) | June 7, 1995 | November 6, 2002 |
| Old Kai tells Supreme Kai and Kibito to try a fusion with their earrings, but only after they fuse together does he reveal that it is a permanent fusion. Dende heals Gohan's injuries, so to prevent this from happening again, Buu creates a giant energy ball and aims it at Dende. Just before it hits, it is deflected by Tien's Tri-Beam attack, who has decided to help, even though he is terribly outclassed. Buu tries again, but Goku suddenly appears and sends a disk of energy at the monster. It cuts off his legs and part of his head. His legs deal Tien a crushing kick which completely incapacitates him and then they return to Buu. Desperate to stop Majin Buu, Goku throws Gohan the other earring, but his aim is off and the earring is lost in the rubble. Goku goes Super Saiyan 3 in an attempt to hold Buu off while Gohan searches for the earring. Inside Super Buu, Gotenks' fusion wears off, splitting back into Trunks and Goten, causing Buu to lose well over a third of his power and his appearance to change. Realising what's happened, Goku declares he can now defeat Majin Buu without fusing with Gohan and prepares to fight. Knowing he needs a massive power increase, Buu causes the part of his head that was cut off earlier to suddenly engulf Gohan, just like Piccolo and Gotenks. He reabsorbs the blob containing Gohan, and is now even more powerful than he was with Gotenks absorbed. | ||||
| 268 | 253 | "Merged!! Vegeta's Pride and Goku's Rage" / "Union of Rivals" "Gattai!! Bejīta no Hokori to Gokū no Ikari" (合体!!ベジータの誇りと悟空の怒り) | June 28, 1995 | November 7, 2002 |
| Now back in control, Buu toys with Goku, telling him he has some time to find someone to fuse with. He considers fusions with Dende and Hercule, but neither of them are appealing possibilities. He suddenly senses that Vegeta has returned, and uses Instant Transmission to teleport to his location. While Buu is distracted, Dende heals Tien. After Goku finds Vegeta, Goku tries to convince him to fuse, but Vegeta is angry at Goku because he knows Goku was holding back his Super Saiyan 3 transformation when they fought. With Vegeta refusing to cooperate, they are forced to take on Buu as individuals, but are clearly outclassed. Goku tells Vegeta that Buu absorbed Trunks and killed Bulma and asks him to put their differences aside to save their people. Vegeta finally agrees, and only when he puts the earring on does Goku mention that the fusion is permanent. The two last surviving Saiyans fuse and a new being is created. | ||||

| The new being names himself Vegito, and begins to fight Buu. He clearly is far superior to even the new Super Buu. In Other World, Bulma, Videl, Chi Chi, and Dabura are looking for Gohan, whom they mostly believe to be dead. When Dabura arrived at the Check-in Station, he resisted the guards attempts to subdue his aggressive behaviour, and knowing Dabura would enjoy being sent to hell, King Yemma turned him good. Back on earth, Dende and Hercule arrive at the battle scene, just as Buu has decided to destroy the earth. He creates a massive ball of energy, and throws it towards the earth. Vegito easily catches it, and deflects it back out into space. Buu claims that he has yet to fight at his full power. Vegito says the same, and powers up to a Super Saiyan. | ||||

| Now calling himself Super Vegito, he continues to thrash Majin Buu. Buu tries to hide himself with his own steam to gain the advantage, but Vegito continues to batter him. On the Grand Kai's planet, Krillin and Yamcha are training with King Kai. Back on earth, Buu is starting to become desperate. He liquifies himself, and shoots down Vegito's mouth, entering his body and turning him into what looks like a super-muscular version of himself. While inside Vegito, Buu takes control of his body and boasts that he will use him to destroy him from the inside, but Vegito uses his energy to isolate all of Buu into one spot and pound him. Buu moves around but Vegito simply continues to pound him. Buu is forced to exit Vegito's body. Realising he doesn't know how he can save himself, Super Majin Buu begins to freak out, and the immense amount of energy he releases into his surroundings threatens to tear apart the universe itself. Realising this, Vegito tries to stop him, but Buu has put up a shield around himself. After a long struggle, Vegito breaks through the shield and stops Buu. | ||||

| Vegito and Buu continue to fight, and Vegito is still far more powerful than his opponent. He repeatedly dominates Buu, which makes Buu angrier and angrier. Vegito is just toying with him. Buu hatches a plan, and calls Vegito out. Vegito comes closer, and Buu turns him into candy. Meanwhile, Videl, Bulma, Chi Chi, and Dabura continue their search for Gohan. Videl still doesn't believe that Gohan is dead. | ||||

| As Buu celebrates his apparent victory, the Vegito candy unexpectedly begins to attack Buu. It turns out that Vegito is somehow still in full control of his new, candy body, and that he is just as powerful as he was before, and can even still talk! (Albeit in a higher pitch). The candy Vegito is just as fast as Super Vegito, and due to its tiny size, is impossible for Buu to hit. Infuriated at being toyed with by a piece of candy, Buu changes it back into Vegito, who then continues to beat him up. Vegito literally starts tearing Buu apart. He gives Buu until the count of ten until he destroys him, and during this countdown, Buu notices a part of himself that Vegito tore off down on the ground. This part rises up behind Vegito, and before Vegito reaches ten, he is engulfed by the pink blob. Buu calls the blob back to him and absorbs it. | ||||

| After absorbing Vegito, Buu notices that he has not taken on any of his characteristics. He guesses this is because he hasn't digested Vegito yet. Inside Buu, Vegito still exists intact, and separate from Buu. It turns out that Vegito had planned this, putting up a barrier during the absorption, and letting himself be shrunk by Buu's magic absorption process, but not incorporated into his being. Once he dispels the barrier, Vegito unexpectedly splits back into Goku and Vegeta. Taking advantage of this unexpected event, Vegeta crushes his fusion earring, not wanting to give up his independence from Goku by permanently fusing with him. He cites that once they free their absorbed friends, Buu will lose most of his power and they won't need to be fused to defeat him. As they journey through his innards, they encounter tiny green pieces of slime The slime starts to attack, and it completely covers Goku, electrocuting and paralysing him. Suddenly, a giant worm appears, ready to eat Goku. | ||||

| Goku shakes off the slime, and blasts the worm, injuring it. The worms brother then shows up, and comically calls for their father, but instead of eating Goku, the father yells at his mischievous sons. Goku and the daddy worm exchange pleasantries, while Vegeta feels comically sick due to the worms. The worms point them in the right direction, but due to the damage Goku and Vegeta have caused inside Buu, Buu experiences great discomfort, and decides to evacuate his bowels. Buu creates a toilet in the middle of nowhere, and comically stinks out the surrounding area, including Dende and Hercule Satan. Goku, Vegeta and the worms are caught up a surge of liquid rushing through Buu's innards, and the worms declare it's "potty time!" A horrified Vegeta refuses to be expelled from Buu's body in such a way. He blasts a hole through the wall of whatever fluid tube they are sliding down and flies up through it, with Goku following. After a long journey, they finally arrive in Buu's head, where they encounter what appear to be Piccolo, Gohan, and Gotenks. These three begin attacking Goku and Vegeta, and even though Goku and Vegeta manage to defeat their mysterious attacks, they just get back up again and continue fighting. It seems Goku and Vegeta cannot win, but when Buu goes to a bakery and begins to eat some cake, the unstoppable opponents turn into desserts. They were just Buu's thoughts. Goku and Vegeta finally find them, who are trapped in cocoons, unconscious, but alive. | ||||

| Goku and Vegeta cut down the cocoons, and as they do, Super Buu regresses to his normal form. Dende and Hercule continue to follow Buu. Back inside Majin Buu, Goku and Vegeta also find the fat Majin Buu. They read his thoughts to find out what happened to him. Suddenly, a thought form of Super Buu himself appears. The two join forces to defeat it, but once they do, another one appears. They realize that this is a battle they cannot win. Buu finally decides that he's had enough, and he tries to absorb Goku and Vegeta. | ||||

| Goku saves Vegeta from being absorbed. As Vegeta recovers, Goku continues to fight the thought form of Super Buu. Goku is rapidly losing energy, and just as Super Buu is about to defeat Goku, Vegeta cuts down the pod containing the fat Majin Buu. This causes Super Buu to go mad, as without the fat Majin Buu absorbed, Super Buu cannot exist. As Super Buu's insides begin to change, Goku and Vegeta realise they must leave, and so they grab the pods containing Gohan, Goten, Piccolo and Trunks and try to find a way out. On their way through his body, they notice one of the tunnels that leads to one of the holes in Buu's skin where the steam escapes. They are able to fly out through here, and when they emerge on the other side, all six of them regain their normal size. As Goku and Vegeta set the pods down, they observe Super Buu changing into a different being. He first transforms into a hulking form, and then shrinks into a childlike version of himself. | ||||

| Supreme Kai explains to Old Kai that he was once one of five Supreme Kais. He was one of the four that each ruled over a quadrant of the universe, and the fifth was their leader. He says that this latest, childlike version (Kid Buu), is the original, true Majin Buu, and by far the most powerful of them all. Supreme North and West Kai perished against him. Supreme South Kai was absorbed, changing the original Majin Buu into the hulking form that was seen briefly in the previous episode. The leader, Dai Kaio, was then absorbed by that form, but this absorption changed Buu into the fat, happy Buu that came out of the ball. This absorption of the Kais actually weakened Buu, making him less focused and less destructive. Back on earth, Kid Buu creates a powerful ball of energy and throws it at the earth, intending to destroy it. Goku and Vegeta deflect it. In retaliation, Kid Buu then a creates a ball ten times more powerful than the previous one and throws that. Knowing that they currently do not have enough strength left to stop it, Goku and Vegeta try to grab everyone and teleport away, but are only able to grab Dende, Hercule and Bee. As the Earth is about to be destroyed, Supreme Kai appears and instantly transmits Goku, Vegeta, Dende, Hercule, and Bee to the world of the Kais. | ||||

| Buu is blasted apart by the explosion but he reforms after the destruction of the Earth, and goes on a rampage throughout the galaxy. He goes from planet to planet, looking for Goku and Vegeta, and then destroys each planet when he doesn't find them. He goes to the Grand Kai's planet, and starts to toy with everyone there. When he becomes bored, he creates an energy ball, intending to destroy the Grand Kai's planet. Supreme Kai offers Goku and Vegeta his fusion earrings, but they both refuse them. They raise their power levels so Buu will know where to find them. Buu abandons his attempt to destroy the Grand Kai's planet and teleports to the world of the Kais. | ||||

| The Supreme Kai transports himself, Dende, and Old Kai to a distant planet so they will be out of Goku and Vegeta's way, along with a crystal ball that allows them to watch the battle. Unfortunately, they forget to take Hercule and Bee along. Goku and Vegeta play rock, paper, scissors to decide who will fight first, and Goku wins. He powers up to Super Saiyan 2, and starts beating up Buu. He blasts him apart, but he reforms. Buu creates another massive energy ball and throws it down at the planet. Goku is able to deflect it, but Buu guides the ball back around and into the planet. Powerful shockwaves rock the entire planet, disfiguring its shape and leaving the surface ragged and uneven. Goku decides to power up to Super Saiyan 3. | ||||

| Goku and Buu continue to fight, each taking powerful blows from each other. Buu folds himself into a ball again, and hits Goku hard. Goku puts all of his energy into a massive Kamehameha, but Buu just reforms afterward. Goku returns to his normal state, collapsing from exhaustion. Vegeta then steps in, but finds he is no match for Buu. Buu cleans his clock, and just as he's about to deal Vegeta the finishing blow, Goku pushes him out of the way. He then powers back up to Super Saiyan 3 and continues their furious fight. Vegeta reminisces about all of the fights he and Goku were in. He finally admits to himself that Goku is better. | ||||

| Goku continues to fight Buu, and he seems to have the upper hand. He deals out a lot of damage to Buu, but as the fight goes on, his hits become weaker and weaker until they have virtually no effect at all. He tells Vegeta that it's his turn, but Vegeta declines, deciding that he is no match for Buu. He tells Goku that Buu is too powerful for him and that Goku stands a much better chance of destroying him. Goku is shocked and unsettled by this admission, telling Vegeta that he deliberately let the fight drag on so that Vegeta could have a turn, and now he is exhausted. Vegeta is horrified by this, because now they cannot stop Buu. Goku unsuccessfully attempts to reassure Vegeta, telling him that he needs one uninterrupted minute to power up enough to destroy Buu. Despite the fact that Vegeta recognises that he will need a miracle to survive a minute against Buu now, he reluctantly steps in while Goku is powering up, even though Goku tells him that if he is destroyed when he is already dead, Vegeta will no longer exist in any form. Buu thrashes Vegeta, but every time he gets knocked down, Vegeta gets up, ready for more. Buu stretches out his arm, wraps it around Vegeta's neck, and begins choking him for fun. It's been more than one minute, but Goku hasn't generated the power he needs. | ||||

| Kid Buu is about to blast Vegeta, when suddenly Hercule starts to taunt Buu. Buu drops Vegeta, and turns his attention to Mr Satan]. The world champ, thinking that it's all a dream, tries to attack Buu, but is obviously far too weak to do any damage. Buu is about to destroy Hercule, but suddenly stops in his tracks, clutching his head and screaming. While Hercule gloats, Kid Buu wrestles with his mind for a while, then spits out the fat form of Buu, who, though not part of his physical being, was still inside of Kid Buu. Shocked and inspired from seeing Fat Buu's still body, an enraged Hercule tries to beat up Kid Buu again, but fails. Buu attacks Hercule, but a blast from Fat Buu saves Hercule. Meanwhile, Goku still can't gather enough energy. He starts losing energy, and falls to the ground in his normal form. | ||||

| Fat Buu is no match for Kid Buu, who begins to severely beat him. Hercule continues to try to help Fat Buu, but is ineffective. Vegeta suddenly comes up with a plan. He communicates with Dende, telling him to go to New Namek and gather the Dragon Balls. The Supreme Kai and Old Kai take Dende there, and the Namekians are waiting with the seven balls. Porunga is summoned, and Vegeta tells Dende his two wishes: bring back the earth and restore it to its undamaged state, and bring back all of the non-evil people that died since the morning of the World Martial Arts Tournament. These wishes are granted, and even Vegeta himself comes back to life, proving that he is no longer evil. He finally reveals the main part of his plan to destroy Buu: the Spirit Bomb. | ||||

| The people of earth come back to life, including the Z Fighters and their friends. Goku gets into position to create the Spirit Bomb, and with the help of King Kai, Vegeta speaks to the entire population of earth. He tells them what's going on, and that to defeat Buu, they need to raise their hands up and offer their energy. Only Goku and Vegeta's family and friends comply. No one else is willing to listen to a mysterious voice from the sky. Vegeta repeatedly pleads with the earthlings, but to no avail. While this is going on, Fat Buu is buying them time by fighting Kid Buu, but it's not going well. Goku hasn't gathered nearly enough energy to destroy Buu. | ||||

| Vegeta continues to plead with the people of earth, but no one will listen to him. Fat Buu has finally lost all of his energy, so Vegeta is forced to fight Kid Buu. He is no match for him, and gets severely beaten. Now Goku asks the earthlings to raise up their arms, and small pockets of people who recognize his voice or just like the sound of it do so, but the vast majority remain uninterested. Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks spread out into the city, hoping to convince people to raise their arms. Hercule has finally had enough, and he speaks to the people of earth. When they hear the familiar voice of the World Champion, all of the people of earth raise their arms and offer their energy. The Spirit Bomb is finally ready. | ||||

| Goku is ready to throw the Spirit Bomb, but Vegeta is in the way, and, despite Vegeta's pleas otherwise, he refuses to take out Vegeta along with Buu. Suddenly, Fat Buu gets up and holds Kid Buu down long enough for Hercule to pull Vegeta to safety. Kid Buu kicks Fat Buu aside, and Goku throws the Spirit Bomb. It hits Kid Buu, but he starts pushing it back. Goku uses all of the little energy he has left trying to push it back into Kid Buu, but he is too powerful. After a brief panic, Vegeta suddenly remembers that they still have a third wish with Porunga. He instructs Dende to wish for Goku's power level to be restored to its normal, healthy level. The wish is granted, and upon turning into a Super Saiyan Goku is easily able to force the Spirit Bomb back at Majin Buu. As he does so, he silently wishes that Buu had been a better person, and hopes to fight him some day in the future. The Spirit Bomb hits with full force, finally destroying the evil childlike Majin Buu permanently. After billions of years of destruction, he has finally been brought to justice. | ||||

| The Supreme Kai brings himself, Dende and Old Kai back to the planet of the Kais. Dende heals Vegeta and Goku for the final time. Hercule finds the still body of Fat Buu, and asks Dende to heal him so that he won't die. Vegeta objects, and tells Hercule to move aside so he can destroy him. Vegeta says it is too dangerous for any form of Majin Buu to survive, but Hercule continues to plead with him. Goku takes Hercule's side, explaining to Vegeta that it was Fat Buu who saved Vegeta's life right before Goku threw the Spirit Bomb. Vegeta reluctantly agrees, and the Fat Majin Buu is healed. Supreme Kai takes them all back to Dende's lookout, where they reunite with friends and family. Goku tells his family that Old Kai gave him his life, so he can stay on earth for good as Chi-Chi breaks down in tears and hugs Goku. Six months later, they use their remaining wish with Shenron, asking him to erase the memory of Majin Buu from the mind of everyone on earth, so that the good Buu can assimilate into society. Life finally returns to normal on earth. | ||||

| Bulma has invited everyone to a barbecue at Capsule Corporation, and Goku's family is ready to leave. The only problem is that Goku is nowhere to be found. A frustrated Chi Chi and the boys leave without him. While everyone's having a good time at the party, Goku is out on a mountaintop, looking after some eggs that are ready to hatch. He protects them from the storm and from predators. After they hatch, he finally arrives at the party, to the delight of everyone. | ||||

| It is ten years later, and much has changed. Gohan has become a scholar, and Trunks and Goten are in their late teens. Goku is training with Goten when Bulma and Vegeta, who have a new daughter, Bulla, show up after not seeing him in five years. Goku says that he and Goten will be entering the World Martial Arts Tournament, so Vegeta says that he and Trunks will do the same. The day of the tournament comes, and old friends catch up. Everyone has arrived to watch. Gohan, who is now married to Videl, has decided not to enter, but his daughter, Pan, will fight. Since there is no junior division this time, she will be fighting with the adults. Hercule and Buu will also be fighting. However, Goku says that there is someone who is 100% human that can threaten to beat him and Vegeta. | ||||

| The seeding draw for the tournament begins, and Goku asks Majin Buu to use his magic to rig it so that he faces the powerful mystery fighter he had talked about. In the first match, Pan faces Wild Tiger, and the four-year-old easily dispatches him. Next up is Goku against a ten-year-old boy named Uub. Uub is the reincarnation of the evil Kid Majin Buu. King Yemma apparently heard Goku's wish right before the evil Buu was destroyed, and he reincarnated him as a good person named Uub. Uub is apprehensive, so to bait him into fighting, Goku eventually resorts to taunting the young boy. After a particularly nasty insult and a kick to the face, Uub has snapped, and is now ready to fight. | ||||
| 291 | 276 | "Even Stronger!! Goku's Dream is Super-Huge" / "Goku's Next Journey" "Motto Tsuyoku!! Gokū no Yume wa Chō Dekkee" (もっと強く!!悟空の夢は超でっけえ) | January 31, 1996 | April 7, 2003 |
| Goku and Uub begin to fight, and it's clear that Uub doesn't know much about fighting. But as the match goes on, he learns more and more, and more and more of his hidden power is released until he is able to go toe to toe with Goku in his base state (without Goku powering up). When Goku does power up slightly (in his normal state) Uub nearly falls out of the ring, but Goku saves him from hitting the ground. He realizes that Uub doesn't even know how to fly, so Goku decides to train him. Despite his friends and family pleading with Goku to stay, he flies away with Uub on his back. Goku decides to train Uub to defend the Earth when he's gone. He hopes one day, when Uub's training is complete, to have a real all-out match with him to test their power. Goku and Uub fly off into the distance with whoops of joy. | ||||
