The first volume of the individual DVD compilations of Dragon Ball Z released in Japan

Dragon Ball Z is the second anime adaptation of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. Produced by Toei Animation and picking up where the original Dragon Ball anime series left off, Dragon Ball Z is adapted from the final twenty-six volumes of the manga. It premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on April 26, 1989, taking over its predecessor's time slot, and ran for 291 episodes until its conclusion on January 31, 1996.

Following the canceled dub of Dragon Ball, Funimation licensed Dragon Ball Z for an English language release in North America. For the dubbing of the series, the Ocean Group was contracted to produce an English dub track. Like the original dub of Dragon Ball, the Ocean Group dub of DBZ was heavily edited for content, reducing the first 67 episodes into 53. The dubbed episodes premiered in the United States on The WB in September 1996, though it was eventually canceled in May 1998. During the fall of the same year, the dub began airing on Cartoon Network as part of the channel's new Toonami programming block. Soon after, Funimation continued dubbing the series from where the syndicated dub left off, now using their own in-house voice actors, a new musical score, and less editing. The new dub of DBZ ran on Cartoon Network from September 1999 to April 2003. In August 2004, Geneon Entertainment lost its licensing rights to the old Ocean Group dubbed episodes of DBZ, allowing Funimation to re-dub the first 67 episodes, restore the removed content and replace the old dubbing with their in-house voice cast. These re-dubbed episodes aired on Cartoon Network throughout the summer of 2005. The Funimation dubbed episodes also aired in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland.^{[citation needed]} In 2006, Funimation canceled the Ultimate Uncut DVD releases, remastered the episodes, then began re-releasing it across individual season boxsets. The first season set was released on February 6, 2007. On May 19, 2009, the ninth season set was released, thus completing the series.

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 he wears on his head, he searches for high power levels on earth.

He also reveals that Goku's real Saiyan name is Kakarot. 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.

Gohan sees the full moon for the first time and goes through the same transformation as his father once did: he becomes a giant ape-creature, an Oozaru, unable to control his power.

Just when Krillin shows up to help, the Saiyans also arrive. Piccolo learns that he is a Namek, because Vegeta recognizes the green skin that is typical of Nameks.

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.

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. Vegeta is able to recover, and flies back down to earth.

As Gohan fights against Vegeta, Goku gives Krillin the part of the Spirit Bomb that he was able to save.

The battle with Vegeta is over, at the cost of Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Tien, Piccolo, and Kami. With the Dragon Balls gone, the others can't be wished back, 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 over 4000 years to reach Namek. They decide to use Nappa's spaceship, because Saiyan spaceships travel much faster. Bulma destroys the ship by accidentally pressing the self-destruct button on its remote.

The two "Nameks" reveal that they have been stuck on this planet since their ship broke down, and they have been planning to steal Bulma's ship. They read their minds after her ship crashed, and so they projected images of Nameks over their true forms. Gohan, Bulma, and Krilln, however, are able to escape the clutches of the two aliens, and continue their trip to Namek.

Frieza is already in possession of four Dragon Balls. He has learned of Vegeta's arrival, so he sends one of his henchmen, Cui, after him. Cui believes that he is much stronger than Vegeta, but Vegeta is much stronger and more skilled after his time on earth, and he easily destroys Cui.

Back on Earth, Master Roshi tells Goku everything that happened on Namek and asks for Goku's help, but he's still not healed yet. Yajirobe arrives with a bag of senzu beans for Goku. Now that he's healed, he flies to Capsule Corp. where Dr. Brief has made a replica of his spaceship, which includes a gravity chamber to train on his way to Namek. Goku immediately blasts off for Namek.

The evil Frieza and his henchmen try to persuade the Namek elder of the village to hand over the Dragon Ball by killing most of the villagers. Gohan, who can't watch the innocent Nameks murdered anymore, is about to fly in and save them, when three more Namekians appear. These three are strong enough to defeat Frieza's weaker henchmen, so the evil tyrant sends one of his best fighters, Dodoria, after them.

Dodoria steps in to fight, and he easily kills the Namekian warriors. With no other choice, the elder gives the fifth ball to Frieza, but despite his cooperation, he and the Namek boy, Cargo, were killed. Before Dodoria can finish off the last Namek boy, Gohan loses control and steps in to save him. He grabs the boy and takes off, with Krillin at his side. Dodoria speeds off after them.

By using Tien's Solar Flare technique, Krillin, Gohan, and the Namekian boy, Dende, were able to escape from Dodoria. As the pink alien tries to get back to Frieza, Vegeta shows up, ready to settle the score between he and Dodoria. Dodoria is taken by surprise by Vegeta's new strength, and the Saiyan Prince easily overpowers him. Pleading for his life, Dodoria barters information for his freedom.

With Vegeta stronger, and Frieza afoot, Krillin is having doubts if he and the others will be able to collect the Dragon Balls. Bulma hears from her father that Goku is already on his way to Namek. Meanwhile, Goku is training aboard his spaceship at 20x the earth's gravity. Suddenly, an asteroid collides with his ship, which aims it directly into a star. Goku is forced to summon every ounce of strength that he has in order to blast his ship back on course.

No longer needing a scouter to sense energy, Vegeta quickly finds the next Dragon Ball. For good measure, he wipes out the entire village, as well. He then hides the Dragon Ball in the water nearby, for safekeeping. Sensing the nearby destruction, Krillin and Gohan deduce that Vegeta has found the sixth Dragon Ball. With only one left, Dende and Krillin take off toward the Namekian leader, Guru. It is this Eldest Namek who holds the seventh Dragon Ball.
52	39	"Stay Away From Frieza" / "The Past and Future" "Kike Gokū yo! Furīza niwa Te wo Dasu na" (聞け悟空よ! フリーザには手を出すな)	June 20, 1990	October 25, 1997
As Goku steps up his training, King Kai tells him that Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo have come to train with him. However, King Kai has discovered that Frieza is on Namek, and warns Goku not go near him. Back on Namek, as Krillin and Dende head towards the Eldest Namek, Zarbon, one of Frieza's high-level henchmen, finds Vegeta, and intends to destroy him. Vegeta shows off his newfound strength by easily beating him up. However, Zarbon claims he has a trick up his sleeve.

Realizing he is no match for Vegeta's increased power, Zarbon has no choice but to reveal his true power, transforming into a hideous reptilian beast. In this form, he is far more powerful, and begins to pound Vegeta. With a mighty stroke, he blasts Vegeta to the bottom of a lake, and he is presumed dead.

Once they finally arrive at their destination, Krillin and Dende meet the Eldest Namek, Guru, and his bodyguard Nail, who closely resembles Piccolo. The wise old Namekian gives Krillin the last Dragon Ball, and, upon seeing that he is pure-hearted, unlike Frieza, also awakens hidden powers within him. As Krillin heads back to the others, Zarbon informs Frieza that he killed Vegeta. When Frieza finds out that Zarbon only assumes that Vegeta is dead, he makes him go back and find Vegeta. Zarbon arrives at their battle site, pulls Vegeta out of the water, and brings him back to Frieza's ship.
55	42	"Get Vegeta!" / "Piccolo vs. Everyone" "Shi no Fuchi kara Yomigaetta Kiseki no Otoko - Bejīta" (死の淵からよみがえった奇跡の男·ベジータ)	July 18, 1990	November 1, 1997
As Goku trains harder for Namek, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu complete King Kai's first test. Even Piccolo helps out on the second test.

Vegeta has recovered, and with no one watching him, he breaks out of his medical chamber and hides. He creates a diversion to get Frieza and Zarbon away from the five Dragon Balls. He goes into the main control room that contains the Dragon Balls, blasts a hole in the ship, and escapes. Furious over the loss of the Dragon Balls, Frieza orders Zarbon to find Vegeta and the Dragon Balls in one hour, or he will die. Vegeta finds a suitable hiding spot for the five Dragon Balls. He knows that Frieza and his henchmen have no scouters and can't sense energy signals, so they won't be able to find the five balls without combing the entire surface of the planet.
57	44	"A Heavy Burden" / "Gohan, the Hunted" "Genki ga Modotta zo!! Hyakubai Chōjūryoku no Naka no Gokū" (元気が戻ったぞ!! 100倍超重力の中の悟空)	August 8, 1990	November 8, 1997
Gohan suddenly senses an energy signal from the village that Vegeta destroyed earlier, and goes to check it out. Krillin arrives back at the cave to give Bulma the good news, however, Zarbon and Vegeta followed him. They see that he has a Dragon Ball, and they decide to fight each other for it. 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 screws up the gravity machine, 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.
58	45	"Immortality Denied" / "Unknown Enemies" "Furīza no Himitsu Heiki - Akuma no Ginyū Tokusentai" (フリーザの秘密兵器! 悪魔のギニュー特戦隊)	August 22, 1990	November 15, 1997
With both of his main henchmen killed by Vegeta, Frieza summons his elite fighting squad, the Ginyu Force. Meanwhile, Gohan finds the Dragon Ball Vegeta hid underwater, and heads back to the cave with it. Vegeta arrives at the village, only to discover that someone has taken his Dragon Ball. He takes off in a rage, and Gohan recognizes this sudden surge of power as belonging to Vegeta. He drops to the ground, and hides the Dragon Ball behind a rock. Vegeta finds him, but doesn't suspect that Gohan has the Dragon Ball, and leaves Gohan alone. Amazed at his luck, Gohan brings the Dragon Ball back to Krillin and Bulma. He and Krillin then take off toward Guru's place, leaving the Dragon Ball in Bulma's possession. They hope that Guru will awaken Gohan's hidden power.
59	46	"Big Trouble for Bulma" / "Destination: Guru" "Buruma ga Abunai!! Sūshinchū wa Furīza no Te ni" (ブルマが危ない!! 四星球(スーシンチュウ)はフリーザの手に)	August 29, 1990	January 31, 1998
As Gohan and Krillin head to Guru's place to awaken Gohan's hidden powers, they leave Bulma behind to look after the Dragon Ball. Frustrated at his loss of five of the Dragon Balls, Frieza begins firing powerful energy blasts all over the surface of Namek. These explosions cause the Dragon Ball to roll away from Bulma and into the water nearby. Bulma takes her submarine into the water to find the lost ball, but there she finds more than she bargained for. As she reaches for the ball, a giant crab thinks she is trying to steal her eggs, and begins to attack Bulma. Bulma saves the crab from a falling rock, and the crab gives her the Dragon Ball.
60	47	"Scramble for the Dragon Balls" / "Bulma's Big Day" "Gekitotsu da!! Fukutsu no Tōshi no Kaiōken to Kamehameha" (激突だ!!不屈の闘志の界王拳とカメハメ波)	September 5, 1990	February 7, 1998
Bulma finally retrieves the Dragon Ball, only to be captured by two of Frieza's henchmen. She persuades them to find the rest of the Dragon Balls and making a wish themselves. Knowing she has more Dragon Ball knowledge than the two of them, they take her along. She leads them into the water, and right to the giant crab, who eats both of them.
61	48	"Arrival of the Ginyu Force" / "Hidden Power" "Semaru Chōkessen! Ginyū Tokusentai Tadaima Sanjō!!" (迫る超決戦! ギニュー特戦隊只今参上!!)	September 12, 1990	February 7, 1998
Krillin and Gohan finally make it to Guru's place, but Vegeta has followed them, determined to get the last Dragon Ball. As Krillin tries to hold off Vegeta, Gohan has his hidden powers unleashed. Suddenly, they all sense an incredibly powerful force arriving on the planet. Vegeta recognizes it as the Ginyu Force. He tells Krillin and Gohan that the Ginyu Force is far more powerful even than himself. Vegeta says that if they are to defeat them and prevent Frieza from making his wish, they must work together.
62	49	"Elite Fighters of the Universe... The Ginyu Force" / "New Ally, New Problem" "Gokū ga Daisekkin! Furīza no Houimou wo Buchiyabure" (悟空が大接近! フリーザの包囲網をぶち破れ)	September 19, 1990	February 14, 1998
The Ginyu Force arrives on Namek. They are five incredibly powerful warriors named Guldo, Jeice, Recoome, Burter, and Captain Ginyu. These five fighters specialize in making flashy poses. Frieza tells them what the Dragon Balls are, and sends them after Vegeta. He tells Captain Ginyu to use his scouter to find the Dragon Balls while the other four deal with Vegeta. Meanwhile, Krillin is very reluctant to join forces with Vegeta, but Gohan knows that Goku would do it, so he convinces Krillin to help. The Ginyu Force quickly finds where Vegeta and the others are, and are prepared to fight.
63	50	"Time Tricks and Body Binds" / "Guldo's Mind Binds" "Chōmajutsu ka Torikku ka!? Misutā Gurudo ga Okotta zo!" (超魔術かトリックか!? Mr.グルドが怒ったぞ!)	September 26, 1990	February 14, 1998
The weakest member of the Ginyu Force, Guldo, steps up to fight against the powered up Krillin and Gohan. Guldo quickly discovers that both Krillin and Gohan are far more powerful than he is, so he uses his special technique: he holds his breath, stopping time. Krillin and Gohan swoop in for the final blow several times, but every time Guldo stops time, and runs to a different location. He then reveals another trick: he uses his mysterious power to completely bind Krillin and Gohan. Unable to move, they are at the mercy of Guldo. Having seen enough, Vegeta steps in and quickly annihilates Guldo.
64	51	"No Refuge From Recoome" / "Recoome Unleashed" "Moui Rikūmu!! Warukute Tsuyokute Tondemonai Yatsu" (猛攻リクーム!! 悪くて強くてとんでもない奴)	October 24, 1990	May 16, 1998
The next fighter from the Ginyu Force is the massive Recoome. Vegeta pulls out all the stops, but he is no match for Recoome. The giant begins to toy with Vegeta, despite the pleas from the remaining members of the Ginyu force. With Vegeta out of commission, Krillin steps in to save him. Though he does his best, he is easily defeated.
65	52	"Enter Goku" / "Let the Battle Begin" "Shinu na Gohan! Gokū - Tsui ni Kessenjō ni Touchaku da" (死ぬな悟飯!悟空、ついに決戦場に到着だ)	October 31, 1990	May 23, 1998
Since Krillin and Vegeta can't fight anymore, Gohan is the only one left to fight. Captain Ginyu, leader of the Force, locates all seven Dragon Balls, and brings them to Frieza. Frieza tries to make his wish, but realizes he doesn't know what to do. He figures there must be a password. Meanwhile, Gohan gives it everything he has against Recoome, but the giant warrior is too strong. Just as he is about to finish off Gohan, everyone senses a gigantic power arriving on the planet. Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta realize it is Goku.
66	53	"Goku... Super Saiyan?" / "Goku's New Power" "Ketahazure no Tsuyosa!! Densetsu no Sūpā Saiyajin Son Gokū" (ケタ外れの強さ!! 伝説の超(スーパー)サイヤ人孫悟空)	November 7, 1990	May 23, 1998
Goku has finally arrived on Namek, and finds Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta near death. He gives them all a senzu bean, and prepares to fight the Ginyu force. With a single blow to the gut, he puts Recoome out of commission. Goku's training at 100x normal gravity has exponentially increased his strength.
67	53	"Goku... Super Saiyan?" / "A Legend Revealed" "Aka to Ao no Raitoningu-Bōru! Jīsu to Bāta ga Gokū wo Osou" (赤と青の光球(ライトニングボール)! ジースとバータが悟空を襲う)	November 14, 1990	May 23, 1998
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. Vegeta believes that Goku has become the legendary Saiyan warrior, the Super Saiyan. If this is true, Goku would be the first Super Saiyan in millenia.
68	54	"Ginyu Assault" / "Ginyu Assault" "Tsui ni Chokusetsu Taiketsu!! Ginyū Taichō no Odemashi da" (ついに直接対決!! ギニュー隊長のおでましだ)	November 21, 1990	September 13, 1999
Goku easily beats Burter. Frightened, Jeice flies away to get Captain Ginyu. Vegeta then executes both Recoome and Burter, despite Goku's pleas. Meanwhile, Frieza heads off towards Guru's place, hoping to discover the secret to using the Dragon Balls. Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan all sense that Frieza is on the move, but the Dragon Balls remain in their place. They recognize that this might be their only chance to make their wish.
69	55	"Incredible Force" / "Incredible Force!" "Susamajii Hakuryoku!! Mita ka, Gokū no Furu Pawā" (凄まじい迫力!! 見たか、悟空のフルパワー)	November 28, 1990	September 13, 1999
Once Captain Ginyu arrives, Vegeta leaves Goku behind to get the Dragon Balls for himself. Krillin and Gohan leave to get the dragon radar from Bulma so they can find the balls before Vegeta. Jeice tells Captain Ginyu how powerful Goku is, but the Captain is confident he can beat him. Goku decides to skip the warmup and power up to his full strength immediately. As he is powering up, Jeice measures his power level on his scanner. He is shocked as the level continues to climb higher and higher, eventually surpassing Captain Ginyu's maximum. Captain Ginyu doesn't believe the scanner, and begins to fight with Goku.
70	56	"Frieza Approaches" / "Frieza Approaches" "Tatakai no Yukue!? Saichōrō ni Semaru Furīza no Ma no Te" (闘いの行方!?最長老に迫るフリーザの魔の手)	December 5, 1990	September 14, 1999
Goku is obviously more powerful than Ginyu, but the Captain won't give up so easily. Meanwhile, Guru sends Dende to tell Krillin and Gohan the password to use the Dragon Balls. Frieza arrives at Guru's place, demanding to know the Dragon Balls' password. Guru's bodyguard, Nail, tries to hold him off. He leads Frieza away from the lookout so Guru won't get hurt. Though he knows he can't win, he continues to fight Frieza, hoping to buy enough time for Dende to deliver the password.
71	57	"Goku is Ginyu and Ginyu is Goku" / "Goku is Ginyu and Ginyu is Goku" "Bikkuri!! Gokū ga Ginyū de Ginyū ga Gokū" (ビックリ!! 悟空がギニューでギニューが悟空)	December 12, 1990	September 15, 1999
As Dende flies toward Krillin and Gohan, Nail gives it everything he's got against Frieza. There is not much time left, because Nail can't hold out much longer. Gohan and Krillin get the dragon radar from Bulma and head towards Frieza's spaceship. Meanwhile, Goku is winning his fight against Captain Ginyu. Realizing he can't win, Captain Ginyu decides to use his special power: the ability to switch bodies with his opponent. He lets Goku beat him severely, then just before Goku lands the final blow, a beam of light shoots out of his mouth and into Goku's, and the two switch bodies. Ginyu, as Goku, then flies back towards Frieza's spaceship, leaving Goku in Ginyu's thrashed body behind.
72	58	"Calling the Eternal Dragon" / "Calling the Eternal Dragon" "Ideyo Chō Shenron!! Boku no Negai wo Kanaetamae" (出でよ超神龍!! ボクの願いをかなえたまえ)	December 19, 1990	September 16, 1999
Krillin and Gohan arrive at Frieza's spaceship and locate the Dragon Balls, unaware that Vegeta is not far away. As the two try to figure out what the password is, Jeice and Captain Ginyu, in Goku's body, arrive as well. The disguised Ginyu tries to trick Krillin into believing that he is Goku. Gohan, however, realizes that it is not the real Goku. Goku, in Captain Ginyu's destroyed body, arrives, and tells Krillin and Gohan what happened. Now it is up to Gohan to defeat Captain Ginyu.
73	59	"Gohan Defeat Your Dad!" / "Gohan Defeat your Dad!" "Yatsu wa Ora ja nē! Gohan Bibiru na Chichi wo Ute" (奴はオラじゃネェ! 悟飯びびるな父を撃て)	January 16, 1991	September 17, 1999
Ginyu tries to power up with Goku's body, but he can't reach its full potential, because he doesn't know how to unite body and mind. But even at a relatively low power, he can still overpower both Krillin and Gohan. Vegeta arrives, and begins to fight Jeice. Having recovered from severe injury, Vegeta has greatly increased his power, and easily overpowers and kills Jeice.
74	60	"Captain Ginyu... The Frog" / "Captain Ginyu... The Frog" "Dai Gosan!! Ginyū ga Kaeru ni Natchatta" (大誤算!! ギニューがカエルになっちゃった)	January 23, 1991	September 20, 1999
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. Just as Captain Ginyu uses the trick, Goku recognizes the move and intercepts the light beam, switching back into his old body. Back in his broken body, Captain Ginyu tries to switch with Vegeta again. Goku throws a frog to intercept the transfer. The frog, in Ginyu's body, hops into the water, while Ginyu, in the frog's body, flees. With the Ginyu Force defeated, Goku recovers in an isolation chamber in Frieza's spaceship. Vegeta finds two pairs of Saiyan armor for Krillin and Gohan to wear in their upcoming fight with Frieza.

While Goku is recovering, Krillin heads to Guru's to get the password. Gohan is left behind to guard the Dragon Balls while Vegeta is taking a nap. On his way to Guru's Krillin sees Dende flying in the opposite direction. He meets up with him, and Dende tells him that he has been sent to deliver the password. Krillin and Dende head back to Frieza's ship. Once they arrive, they decide to make the wish now, so Vegeta won't get his wish of immortality. They bring the Dragon Balls to a nearby island, and Dende summons Porunga. Frieza, meanwhile, realizes that Nail is purposely stalling him, and he finishes him off. As the sky suddenly turns black, he realizes that someone must be summoning the dragon, and frantically flies back to his ship.

Thanks to Dende, the Eternal Dragon, Porunga, has been summoned. Unlike Shenron, the earth's dragon, Porunga has the power to grant three wishes. Through King Kai, Piccolo tells Gohan to use the first wish to bring him back to life, then use the second to bring him to Namek. The dragon grants these two wishes. 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. Before they can decide what to do, Porunga suddenly disappears. Guru has died, so the Dragon Balls die with him.

Guru is gone, along with Porunga and Vegeta's wish. Frieza arrives, furious at being denied his wish. He begins to fight with them. Vegeta is confident in his new strength. He also tells Frieza that Gohan is even more powerful than he is, but doesn't even know it. Meanwhile, Piccolo comes upon Nail's wounded body. Nail tells him to fuse with him, because this transformation might give him enough power to defeat Frieza. Though he is reluctant, Piccolo agrees. He and Nail become one, though it is in Piccolo's body. With his newfound strength, Piccolo continues towards Frieza's ship.

As the battle continues, Frieza decides to tell Vegeta that it was actually he who destroyed planet Vegeta, wiping out the Saiyan race. Vegeta claims that he knew all along, which was why he hated Frieza so much. Frieza decides to reveal another secret: he can transform.

By transforming into a giant, Frieza has gained much more power. Frieza's first victim is Krillin. After seeing his friend attacked, Gohan loses control of himself and unleashes a furious attack on Frieza. Though he is strong, he is not strong enough to stop Frieza, who pounds the inexperienced young warrior.

Dende heals Krillin's injuries. Krillin is then able to distract Frieza long enough for Dende to heal Gohan. Though they are both back to full strength, it all seems useless, because none of them are a match for Frieza. Suddenly, Piccolo finally arrives at the scene. He tells them that he will take on Frieza alone. Krillin and Gohan don't understand why he would do this, but Piccolo insists. With his new strength acquired from fusion, he is confident that he can take down Frieza.

Piccolo and Frieza begin to fight. With his new power, Piccolo is able to hold his own with Frieza. Also, since he is fused with Nail, he is familiar with the way Frieza fights.

Frieza is about to finish Piccolo off, but Gohan jumps in front of his energy blast to save him. He then fires a blast of his own at Frieza, but Frieza is able to deflect it. Frieza decides to transform into his final form to finish them off once and for all. Vegeta, however, comes up with a plan to stop him: he asks Krillin to severely injure him, so that when Dende heals him, he'll become much more powerful. Krillin reluctantly gives Vegeta a powerful blast, and the Saiyan falls to the earth. He stumbles over to Dende, demanding that he be healed. Though Dende resists, Gohan and Krillin convince him to do it.

Frieza realizes that Dende has been healing his opponents, so he kills him. Now in his final form, Frieza seems unstoppable.

Despite his dramatic increase in power, Vegeta is no match for Frieza. It seems that he is not a Super Saiyan after all. Gohan and Krillin helplessly look on in horror as Frieza tortures Vegeta. Luckily, Goku has finally recovered. He breaks out of the isolation chamber, and flies to the battlefield.

Goku has entered the battlefield stronger than ever and prepares to fight Frieza alone. It seems that Goku might become a Super Saiyan, as he easily deflects Frieza's energy attacks. As Vegeta taunts Frieza, the tyrant easily finishes him off with a cruel bout of laughter. With his last breath, Vegeta tells Goku of what Frieza has done to him and his people. Can Goku be able to defeat Frieza, the one person no one else has beaten?

As the fight continues, Goku attacks from underwater upon realizing that Frieza can't sense power levels. 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 our hero.

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.

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.

Goku's 20x Kaio-Ken attack with a Kamehameha doesn't work against Frieza, as the tyrant tries to destroy him once and for all. Suddenly, Vegeta telepathically speaks to Goku from the otherworld to not give up yet, giving Goku more power, but it's not enough. Luckily, Goku has one more trick up his sleeve: the Spirit Bomb.

It looks like the battle is over, as Frieza seems to be defeated and the Ginyu Force has fallen down to Hell.

Has Goku finally fulfilled the Super Saiyan legend?

Goku's hair has turned blonde 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.

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 the cold tyrant blows up with the planet.

Vegeta fights with everything he's got, but he can't beat Android 18. To save his father, Trunks steps in to help, but gets beaten easily by 17, as do Piccolo and Tien. As 16 just stands there, 17 and 18 have easily beat Earth's heroes and head off to complete their mission, but can Goku recover in time to help and protect himself?

The deserted streets of Gingertown become a battlefield as the power-up Piccolo confronts this terror from the future. The monster's name is Cell, and he gains strength from sucking the life out of his victims! But that's not the only secret the creature reveals. Somehow, he also knows Goku's special attack, the Kamehameha!
143	128	"His Name is Cell" / "His Name is Cell" "Zouo to Hakai no Seimeitai!! Yatsu no Na wa Jinzō Ningen Selu" (憎悪と破壊の生命体!! 奴の名は人造人間セル)	June 10, 1992	October 9, 2000
With the element of surprise, the creature gets ahold of Piccolo and begins to absorb him, but Piccolo manages to break free. With his arm weakened, Piccolo surrenders, but the Super Namek asks for one last request to know who this creature. 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.
144	129	"Piccolo's Folly" / "Piccolo's Folly" "Pikkoro Tsuukon no Dai Shippai! Celu ga Machi ni Hanatareta!" (ピッコロ痛恨の大失敗! セルが街に放たれた!)	June 17, 1992	October 10, 2000
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.

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.

After enduring the terrifically horrifying effect of the viral heart disease, Goku recovers, and has only one objective on his mind, surpassing a 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?
148	133	"The Monster is Coming" / "The Monster is Coming" "Ten wo Saku Gekiretsu Kōdan!! Pikkoro tai Jinzō Ningen Jū-Nanagō" (天を裂く激烈光弾!! ピッコロVS人造人間17号)	July 15, 1992	October 16, 2000
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 knows he must be fighting one of the Androids, he charges towards them, in the hope that he will become complete.
149	134	"He's Here" / "He's Here" "Kono Hi wo Matteita!! Celu･Kanzentai eno Jyokyoku" (この日を待っていた!! セル·完全体への序曲)	July 22, 1992	October 17, 2000
Piccolo and 17 continue their showdown, unbeknownst to them 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.
150	135	"Up to Piccolo" / "Up to Piccolo" "Sutemi no Hangeki Oyobazu! Pikkoro Moetsukiru!!" (捨て身の反撃及ばず! ピッコロ燃え尽きる!!)	July 29, 1992	October 18, 2000
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	"Silent Warrior" / "Silent Warrior" "Nokosareta Yuiitsu no Nozomi... Mugon no Sensi Jū-rokugō 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	"Say Goodbye, 17" / "Say Goodbye, 17" "Jū-Nanagō wo Nomikonda... Henshin Celu wa Chō Gurume" (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 continue. 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 could do so, Cell sneaks up behind 17, and before he can get away, 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 the second form of Cell, 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.
153	138	"Sacrifice" / "Sacrifice" "Ashita wa Omee wo Tatakinomesu!! Gokū no Cyōsenjō" (明日はオメエを叩きのめす!! 悟空の挑戦状)	August 19, 1992	October 23, 2000
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. Whilst there he notices Piccolo is still alive, but he's hanging on barely 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.
154	139	"Saiyans Emerge" / "Saiyans Emerge" "Subete Ore ga Katadukeru!! Sinsei Bejīta Oyako Syutsugeki" (全てオレが片付ける!! 新生ベジータ親子出撃)	August 26, 1992	October 24, 2000
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. Then Bulma lands at Kami’s lookout. She gives Gohan, Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta a set of Saiyan armour. 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
155	140	"Super Vegeta" / "Super Vegeta" "Ikinari Zenkai!! Hikari Kagayaku Bejīta no Chō Pawā" (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
Anxious to find 18, the heartless Cell obliterates a chain of inhabited islands, with each explosion bringing him closer to the Android's hideout. Vegeta, anxious to test his new power, heads towards Cell's whereabouts. 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 Android 18 and Cell. Vegeta finishes transforming, reaching an ascended level of Super Saiyan, and begins the fight by delivering the first hit to Cell.

As Vegeta battle Cell, it is clear that Vegeta has the upper hand in the fight, his strength superior to Cell. 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	"Hour of Temptation" / "Hour of Temptation" "Kiken na Puraido!! Kanzentai Celu 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	"Krillin's Decision" / "Krillin's Decision" "Ore Nayanjyau!! Kuririn no Jū-Hachigō 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	"The Last Defense" / "The Last Defense" "Zen Uchū ni Syōgeki!! Celu, Kanzentai e Kyōi no Sinka" (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 defy's Vegeta's thought that Trunks would be 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 unphases by Krillin's attempts to stall Cell as he absorbs 18 and begins his transformation.
160	145	"Cell is Complete" / "Cell is Complete" "Sentōryoku Mugendai!! Celu 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 tranformation, 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	"Vegeta Must Pay" / "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. But 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 Super Saiyan, continue to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
162	147	"Trunks Ascends" / "Trunks Ascends" "Sūpā Saiya-jin no Genkai Toppa!! Arashi wo 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 wo Sukue!! Ten womo 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	"The Future of Despair!! The Man Who Lived Through the Hell, Trunks." / "Ghosts from Tomorrow" "Zetsubō no Mirai!! Jigoku wo 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 Jyakuten!! Celu, Syōgeki 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. Cell, having part of Vegeta in his being, cannot resist the idea of facing the Z fighters at their best, so he decides to revive the World Martial Arts Tournament.

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 is 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.
184	169	"Number 16's Tragedy!! Enlivened Angry Super Gohan" / "Cell Juniors Attack!" "Jū-rokugō Muzan!! Ugokidasu Ikari no Sūpā Gohan" (16号無惨!!動き出す怒りの超悟飯)	May 5, 1993	December 12, 2000
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 defend themselves. 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.
185	170	"Devastating True Power!! Cell Juniors Demolished" / "The Unleashing" and "Awakening" "Fukiareru Shin no Pawā!! Seru Junia Funsai" (吹き荒れる真の力!!セルジュニア粉砕)	May 12, 1993	December 13, 2000
Gohan, angered by the destruction of Andriod 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. Goku comments that the reason he 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.
187	172	"Cell's Disaster!! Perfect Form Crumbled" / "Cell's Breakdown" "Seru ni Ihen!! Kuzusareta Kanzentai" (セルに異変!!崩された完全体)	May 26, 1993	December 18, 2000
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.
188	173	"Bye-Bye Everyone!! Goku's Final Instantaneous Teleportation" / "A Hero's Farewell" "Bai Bai Minna Gokū Saigo no Shunkan Idō" (バイバイみんな!!悟空最後の瞬間移動)	June 2, 1993	December 19, 2000
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. 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 kills Trunks with a single blast.
189	174	"Daylight Nightmare!! Terrifying Reperfection" / "Cell Returns!" "Hakuchū no Akuma!! Kyōfu wa yori Kanpeki ni" (白昼の悪夢!!恐怖はより完璧に)	June 16, 1993	December 20, 2000
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.
190	175	"From Goku to Gohan...Father's Soul Comes Down" / "The Horror Won't End" "Gokū kara Gohan e... Chichi no Tamashii wa Tsutawatta" (悟空から悟飯へ...父の魂は伝わった)	June 23, 1993	December 21, 2000
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 can't give up. So, despite only being able to use one arm, Gohan powers up the biggest Kamehameha wave he can muster and aims it directly at Cell, just as Cell releases his wave.
191	176	"The Battle Ends...Thanks, 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 battle is finally over.
192	177	"I'm Training in That World!! Goodbye's Smiling Face" / "Goku's Noble Decision" "Ora Ano Yo de Shugyō Suru!! Egao no Wakare" (オラあの世で修業する!!笑顔の別れ)	July 7, 1993	December 27, 2000
With Cell defeated, the Z Fighters head to the lookout to summon the dragon. This dragon is able to grant two wishes, but unfortunately can't bring Goku back because he's already been brought back. 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. Now they have one more wish left.
193	178	"New Days...Dad! Good Luck" / "One More Wish" "Atarashii Hibi... Tōsan! Boku Ganbaru" (新しい日々...父さん!ボクがんばる)	July 14, 1993	December 28, 2000
Because no one can think of a good wish, Krillin decides to use it to turn the androids into humans. Shenron says that it is beyond his power to do that, so Krillin asks him to take the explosives out of them. After Trunks goes back to his own time, life returns to normal for the rest of the Z Fighters.
194	179	"One More Conclusion!! I'll Protect the Future" / "Free the Future" "Mō Hitotsu no Ketsumatsu!! Mirai wa Ore ga Mamoru" (もう一つの結末!!未来はオレが守る)	July 21, 1993	December 29, 2000
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 he is too quick for him. Trunks, being much more powerful than Cell, quickly dispatches with him. The nightmare is finally over. Meanwhile, Goku and King Kai begin their journey to the Otherworld.

Goku and King Kai arrive in the Otherworld. King Kai explains that the universe is divided into four quadrants: north, south, east, and west, and that each of these quadrants has a Kai. King Kai watches over the north. Above these four is the Grand Kai. 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 the Home For Infinite Losers.

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 200 years.

It's Goten's turn now, and he happens to be fighting the brother of the kid that Trunks knocked out.

The match between Trunks and Goten begins to heat up. Trunks gets Goten in a stranglehold, and Goten can't 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.

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.
216	201	"Disgusting and Immortal!! The Mystery of Supopo Bitchi" / "A Dark and Secret Power" "Fujimi de Bukimi!? Supopobitchi no Nazo" (不死身で不気味!?スポポビッチの謎)	February 9, 1994	October 9, 2001
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.
217	202	"No Mercy for Videl. Will the Anger Bring Super Gohan?" / "Videl is Crushed" "Bīderu Muzan!! Deru ka Ikari no Sūpā Gohan" (ビーデル無残!!出るか怒りの超悟飯)	February 16, 1994	October 10, 2001
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.
218	203	"Unmasked!!! The Great Saiya-man is Son Gohan" / "Identities Revealed" "Barechatta!! Saiyaman wa Son Gohan" (バレちゃった!!サイヤマンは孫悟飯)	February 23, 1994	October 11, 2001
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.
219	204	"A Sneaky plan! Gohan's power gets stolen" / "Energy Drain" "Ugomeku Inbō!! Gohan no Pawā ga Ubawareta" (うごめく陰謀!!悟飯の力が奪われた)	March 2, 1994	October 12, 2001
Gohan fully powers up, and just as Shin predicted, Spopovich and Yamu suddenly attack him. They stick a weird device inside him, steal all of his energy, and then leave. Shin takes off after them, and Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, and Vegeta follow. Kibito heals Gohan, and those two and Videl also leave. Shin explains that long ago there was a wizard named Bibidi who created a monster with unbelieveable destructive power. Shin 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.

220	205	"The Evil Magician Babidi..." / "The Wizard's Curse" "Kuromaku Tōjō!! Aku no Madoushi Babidi" (黒幕登場!!悪の魔導師バビディ)	March 9, 1994	October 15, 2001
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. 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	"A Trap in Waiting. A Challenge from the Dark side" / "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	"Vegeta's first Attack is filled with Anger" / "Vegeta Attacks" "Nameru na!! Bejīta Ikari no Hassen 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 hundreds of times 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 At full power. Take that 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 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 Huge Mistake!!! Satan VS. The 3 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	"The Kids are Strong! A tough fight for Number 18!" / "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 (Trunks and Goten) 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. Now it is down to 18 and Hercule. Meanwhile, Dabura has finally finished his meditation, and is ready to fight Gohan.
226	211	"The Debut of the King of Evil. 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	"The Heart of Evil Found. Doubler's good 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	"The Rebirth of Vegeta, Dark Prince of Destruction!" / "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 Shin are left wondering why Dabura suddenly stopped the fight. 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 Fated Battle! Son Goku VS. Majin 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. Shin 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. Shin 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 Shin, 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 Shin go further into the ship. Vegeta and Goku power themselves up to their maximum level, and are ready to fight.
230	215	"We won't let you continue your Evil" / "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 bolder with cuffs made of energy. He tells Goku how he has stolen his royal destiny by beating Frieza and becoming a Super Saiyan, 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 Shin have made it all the way to Buu's ball, but Babidi and Dabora are waiting for them.
231	216	"The Ultimate Evil Majin Buu Appears..." / "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 awesome 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." Meanwhile, before Gohan and Shin can stop Babidi, Buu has finally gathered enough energy, and has begun to hatch.
232	217	"The Kamehameha to change fate!" / "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 Shin 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 Path to Destruction!? Kaiou in Despair" / "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
Dabora 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. Babidi's first order to Majin Buu is to kill Gohan and Shin. 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 Shin unguarded.
234	219	"It's feared That Gohan is on the Brink of Death" / "The Terror of Majin Buu" "Majin Osoru Beshi!! 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
Shin defends himself as best he can against Buu, but he is no match for him. Buu pounds Shin 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. Gohan falls to the earth in a forest somewhere, unconscious. Trunks and Goten 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, Dabora suddenly throws a spear through him. Dabora 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: Dabora is next on the menu.
235	220	"I'll Eat you! The Starving Majin's Psychic Powers..." / "Meal Time" "Tabechau zo!! Harapeko Majin no Chōnouryoku" (食べちゃうぞ!!腹ペコ魔人の超能力)	August 3, 1994	November 8, 2001
Dabora 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 Dabora 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	"I'm going to Destroy Majin Buu myself" / "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 The Sake of my Loved ones... Vegeta Falls!!!" / "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 Trunks and Goten, 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. The last pure Saiyan's is now gone.
238	223	"The Nightmare continues! Majin Buu is still Alive" / "Evil Lives On" "Akumu Futatabi! Ikite Ita 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, Trunks and Goten, 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	"Videl's Struggle, Searching for the Dragonballs" / "Find the Dragon Balls" "Bīderu-tachi no Funtō! Sagase Doragon Bōru" (ビーデルたちの奮闘!探せ神龍球)	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 Trunks and Goten. Soon after, Goku regains consiousness and appears at the lookout himself.
240	225	"A Big Hope. The Kids' New Ultimate Attack!!!" / "Revival" "Dekkai Kibō!! Chibitachi no Shinhissatsuwaza" (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 Trunks and Goten 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 Shin is still searching for Gohan.
241	226	"The Whole World's Ordered to find them..." / "A 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 Shin 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 the newcomers, as both of them are believed to be 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, Trunks, and Goten 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	"Is that Kaiou-Shin'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, Trunks, or Goten 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. Trunks and Goten 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 know that they must be tough to stop Majin Buu. In the world of the Kais, Kibito heals Gohan, and Shin 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. Shin believes that Gohan possesses the strength to do so.
243	228	"I Pulled It Out! The Legendary Z Sword..." / "The Z Sword" "Nuketaaa!! 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	"He's After the Western Capitol!!! Stop Majin Buu" / "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.
245	230	"Oh! What a Surprise!! The Super Saiya-jin 3 Classic" / "Super Saiyan 3?!" "Atto Odoroku Daihenshin!! Sūpā Saiyajin Surī" (アッと驚く大変身!!超サイヤ人3)	November 9, 1994	September 26, 2002
To buy as much time as possible, Goku demonstrates the different forms of a Saiyan. He starts in his normal form, then goes to Super Saiyan, then Ascended Super Saiyan. 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. His power is so incredible that Gohan, Shin, 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.
246	231	"Bye Bye Babidi!!! Majin Buu Rebels..." / "Buu's Mutiny" "Bai Bai · Babidi!! Majin Bū Hangyaku" (バイバイ·バビディ!!魔人ブウ反逆)	November 16, 1994	September 30, 2002
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.
247	232	"Incredible Ugly!? The Special Transformation Training" / "The Fusion Dance" "Mecha Kakko Warui!? Tokkun Henshin Pōzu" (メチャカッコ悪い!?特訓変身ポーズ)	November 23, 1994	October 1, 2002
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.
248	233	"Bye Bye Everyone. Goku Goes back to the After Life" / "Goku's Time is Up" "Jā na Minna!! Gokū Ano Yo ni Kaeru" (じゃあなみんな!!悟空あの世に帰る)	November 30, 1994	October 2, 2002
Buu clears some space in the countryside and builds a house for him to live in. Trunks and Goten 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 at the lookout. Once again, he is gone.
249	234	"The Harsh Training on Kaiou-Shin's Planet" / "Return to Other World" "Gohan wa Doko Da!? Kaiōshinkai no Mōtokkun" (悟飯はどこだ!?界王神界の猛特訓)	December 7, 1994	October 3, 2002
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, 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. Piccolo continues training Trunks and Goten to fuse. Buu happens upon a blind kid, 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.
250	235	"This can't be true! The Zed Sword gets Broken..." / "Out From the Broken Sword" "Uso Daro!? Zetto Sōdo ga Orechatta" (ウソだろ!?ゼットソードが折れちゃった)	December 14, 1994	October 7, 2002
Goku throws a giant boulder at Gohan to test his abilities with the Z Sword. Gohan makes a clean cut, so Shin 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 the Elder Kai, who is fifteen generations older than Shin. In exchange for a date with Bulma, the Elder 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 25 hours to awaken his sleeping power. Meanwhile, Trunks and Goten have finally mastered the Fusion Dance, and are ready to attempt it for real.

Trunks and Goten 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, the Elder Kai continues the long ceremony needed to awaken Gohan's hidden power.

Trunks and Goten 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, the Elder 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.

Trunks and Goten 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. 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 nothing.

Evil Buu and Good Buu begin to fight, and it's clear that Evil Buu has the advantage. Good Buu tries 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. After the Human Extiction Attack is finished, only Hercule, the dog, Tien, and Chiaotzu remain, as well as the fighters 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 killing 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 decides to take Buu to the Chamber, but he walks as slowly as he can, giving the boys as much time as possible. He mentally warns them that Buu is coming 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 special moves. The problem is that these moves are totally ineffective, 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 and traps Buu inside. 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 on the fused Saiyan. Suddenly, Piccolo destroys the door to the outside world, which traps the three of them in the Chamber for all eternity.

Heartbroken at the idea that he will never eat candy again, Super Buu lets out a powerful scream that rips a hole in the dimension. He jumps through it, and the hole closes before Piccolo and Gotenks can get through. Back on the outside, Buu is hungry, and so he turns everyone at the lookout into chocolate. Piccolo and Gotenks have been attempting to scream loud enough to create an interdimensional hole like Buu did, but they've seen no success. Gotenks decides to play his trump card, transforming into a Super Saiyan 3. This gives him the power Buust needed to rip a hole for he and Piccolo to jump through. Back at the lookout, Buu tells Gotenks that he ate all of his friends, and enraged, Gotenks promises Buu that he'll pay for each one.

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 forms himself into a ball, and begins repeatedly shooting himself at 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. Gotenks only has a few minutes until he separates.
262	247	"Even Greater, The Remade Gohan goes To Earth..." / "Unlucky Break" "Masa ni Gurēto!! Shinsei Gohan Chikyū e" (まさにグレート!!新生悟飯地球へ)	April 26, 1995	October 28, 2002
Gotenks and Buu continue their fight. Gotenks seems to be wearing Buu down, and he has the upper hand in the fight. Just as he's about to hit Buu with his final move, Gotenks returns to normal from his Super Saiyan 3 form. The power was too much for him to sustain. Buu begins beating up Gotenks, who is now much weaker. Gohan has finally finished his training, and is ready to return to earth. After saying goodbye to Goku for the last time, Kibito takes him back, and Gohan asks him to change his clothes. He's now wearing clothes just like Goku. He's arrived just in time, because Gotenks has separated.

Gohan arrives at the scene, and everyone is shocked at how much power he has. As Gohan begins pounding him, Buu steps up the intensity, but Gohan still has the upper hand. He is easily picking Buu apart.
264	249	"Gohan can't be Beat! Buu self-destructs" / "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 is able to escape, and he takes the others with him. After the detonation, there is no sign of Buu, but Gohan is sure that he's still around. They suddenly sense Dende's energy signal, and they go to find him. On the way, they pick up Hercule and the dog, Bee. Dende explains that as Buu was escaping through the dimensional hole, Mr. Popo threw him from the lookout, because without Dende, there are no Dragon Balls. Buu tracks them down, but instead of having a rematch with Gohan, he calls out Goten and Trunks.
265	250	"Buu commits a 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 part of his back, and the two pink blobs creep around behind the others. As soon as Goten and Trunks fuse, one of the blobs encases the Saiyan. Piccolo, too, has been covered by a pink blob. Buu calls each of the blobs back to him, and they combine to form a Super Buu that's even stronger than he was before. Buu and Gohan start to fight, and it's clear that Super Buu has the advantage. Gohan seems 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.

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 incredibly weak. Buu is about to blast each of them when Gohan saves them. Buu then uses Gotenks' Ring Binding trick on Gohan. He then aims a Kamehameha wave at him, but Gohan is able to summon enough strength to escape in time. Meanwhile, in Other World, King Yemma decides to send Vegeta back to earth to fight Buu. On the world of the Kais, the Elder Kai decides to give his life to Goku so he can fight Buu. The now deceased Elder Kai gives Goku his earrings. If Goku and Gohan each wear one, they will fuse together.

Elder Kai tells Shin 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 blasted out of the way by Tien's tribeam, who has arrived just in time. 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 give Tien a crushing kick, and then return to Buu. Goku throws Gohan the other earring, but his aim is off. Goku goes Super Saiyan 3 to hold off Super Buu while Gohan serches for the earring. Suddenly, Gotenks' fusion wears off, and Buu loses most of his power. To make up for this, the part of Buu's head that was cut off suddenly engulfs Gohan, just like Piccolo and Gotenks. He merges with Gohan, and is now even more powerful than before.

Buu gives Goku some time to find someone to fuse with. He considers Dende and Hercule, but neither of them would be any help. He suddenly senses that Vegeta has returned, and uses Instant Transmission to find him. Dende then heals Tien. After he finds him, Goku tries to convince Vegeta to fuse with him, but Vegeta is angry because he knows Goku was holding back his Super Saiyan 3 technique when they fought. They each try to take on Buu, but are clearly outclassed. Goku tells Vegeta that Buu absorbed Bulma, and asks him to put their differences aside to save their race. Vegeta finally agrees, and only when he puts the earring on does Goku mention that the fusion is permanent.
269	254	"The Ultimate Power. Vejitto the Lethal Warrior!" / "Meet Vegito" "Sōzetsu Pawā!! Kyūkyoku o Koeru Bejitto" (壮絶パワー!!究極を超えるベジット)	July 5, 1995	November 8, 2002
The fused Goku and Vegeta 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 Dabora are looking for Gohan, whom they believe to be dead. Dabora has changed his ways, and is trying to help them. 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.
270	255	"The Dimension is Shattered! Is Buu out of control?!" / "Rip In The Universe" "Jigen ni Kiretsu!! Bū ga Kirechatta!?" (次元に亀裂!!ブウがキレちゃった!?)	July 12, 1995	November 11, 2002
Vegito continues to thrash Majin Buu. Buu tries to hide himself with his own steam, but Vegito still beats up on 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. While inside Vegito, he tries to control the Saiyan, but Vegito uses his energy to isolate Buu and beat up on him. Buu is forced to exit Vegito's body. He begins to freak out, and the universe itself starts to rip. 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.
271	256	"Buu's favorite Technique!! Become Candy!!" / "Vegito...Downsized" "Bū no Oku no Te!! Amedama ni Nacchae" (ブウの奥の手!!アメ玉になっちゃえ)	July 19, 1995	November 12, 2002
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 Dabora continue their search for Gohan. Videl still doesn't believe that Gohan is dead.

Before Buu can eat it, the candy made of Vegito begins to fight back. It is just as powerful as Vegito was, except it is too small for Buu to hit. Buu changes it back into Vegito, who then proceeds to beat him up. Vegito literally starts tearing Buu apart. He gives Buu ten seconds 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 he reaches ten, he is engulfed by the pink blob. Buu has absorbed Vegito.

After absorbing Vegito, Buu has not taken on any of his characteristics, because he hasn't digested him yet. Inside Buu, Vegito still exists. He put up a barrier during the absorption, because he let it happen on purpose. Once he dispels the barrier, Vegito splits back into Goku and Vegeta. Vegeta crushes his fusion earring, citing that once they free their absorbed friends, Buu will lose most of his power. As they journey through his innards, they find some tiny green pieces of slime. The slime starts to attack, and it completely covers Goku. Suddenly, a giant worm appears, ready to eat Goku.
274	259	"Is That you Gohan? Buu's Victims Attack!" / "Mind Trap" "Akumu ka Maboroshi ka!? Gokū to Gohan no Oyako Taiketsu" (悪夢か幻か!?悟空と悟飯の親子対決)	August 9, 1995	November 15, 2002
Goku shakes off the slime, and blasts the worm. The worm then calls his father, but instead of eating Goku, the father yells at his son. Goku and the worm become friends, and the worm points them in the direction of the four they're looking for. Goku and Vegeta 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 are winning the fight, their attackers don't take on any damage. Buu goes to a bakery and begins to eat some cake, which causes what appeared to be Piccolo, Gohan, and Gotenks to turn into cakes. They were just Buu's thoughts. Goku and Vegeta finally find their four friends, who are trapped in cocoons, unconscious, but alive.

Goku and Vegeta cut down their four friends, and as they do, Super Buu regresses to his earlier form. Dende and Hercule continue to follow Buu. Back inside Majin Buu, Goku and Vegeta also find the original Majin Buu. They read his thoughts to find out what happened to him. Suddenly, a thought form of 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 can't 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 Buu. Goku is rapidly losing energy, and just as Buu is about to destroy him, Vegeta cuts down the pod containing the original Majin Buu. This causes Buu to go mad, and so Goku and Vegeta grab the four pods and try to make their escape. On their way through is body, they notice one of the tunnels that leads to one of the holes in Buu's body 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 notice Buu undergoing a change. He shrinks into Kid Buu.

Supreme Kai explains to the Elder Kai that there were once five Supreme Kais. Four of them ruled over a quadrant of the universe, and the fifth was their leader. He says that Kid Buu was his original form. North and West Kai perished against Majin Buu. South Kai was absorbed. The leader, Dai Kaio, was also absorbed, but this absorption changed Buu into the fat, happy Buu that came out of the ball. The absorption of the Kais weakened Buu. Back on earth, Kid Buu creates a massive ball of energy and throws it at the earth. Goku and Vegeta try to grab their sons and Piccolo, but are only able to grab Dende and Hercule. Goku Instantly Transmits to the world of the Kais.

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 appears on the world of the Kais.

The Supreme Kai transports himself, Dende, and the Elder Kai to a distant planet so they will be out of Goku and Vegeta's way. Unfortunately, they forget to take Hercule and Bee along. Goku and Vegeta play rock, paper, scissors or jengen to decide who will fight first, and Goku wins. He powers up, and starts beating on 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 earthquakes rock the surface of the planet, leaving the ground ragged and uneven. Goku decides to power up to Super Saiyan 3.

Goku puts all of his energy into a massive Kamehameha, but Buu just reforms afterward. Goku powers down to his normal state and collapses. Vegeta steps in, but he is no match for Buu. Buu cleans his clock, and just as he's about to give Vegeta his finishing blow, Goku pushes him out of the way. He then powers back up to Super Saiyan 3 and continues their furious fight.

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 no effect at all. He tells Vegeta that it's his turn, but Vegeta declines, citing that he is no match for Buu. He tells Goku that he's better than him. Goku says that he needs one minute to power up enough to destroy Buu. While Goku is powering up, Vegeta steps in, knowing that if he dies again, he will no longer exist in any form. Buu thrashes Vegeta, but every time he gets knocked down, he gets up, ready for more. Buu stretches out his arm, wraps it around Vegeta's neck, and begins choking him. It's been more than one minute, but Goku still has not generated enough power.

The world champ, thinking that it's all a dream, tries to destroy Buu, but is obviously ineffective. Buu winds up to punch him, but suddenly stops. He wrestles with his mind for a moment, and then spits out the fat form of Buu, who, though not part of his physical being, was still inside of Kid Buu. Hercule tries to beat up Buu again, but fails. Buu sends a blast toward Hercule, but it is knocked away by the old Buu, who has regained consciousness. Meanwhile, Goku still can't gather enough energy. He starts losing energy, and falls to the ground in his normal form.

The Supreme Kai and the Elder Kai take him 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 original state, and bring back all of the non-evil people that died since the morning of the World Martial Arts Tournament.

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, old 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. Old Buu has finally lost all of his energy, so Vegeta is forced to fight Kid Buu. He is no match for him, and gets pounded. Now Goku asks the earthlings to raise up their arms, and small pockets of people who recognize his voice 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.
286	271	"Majin Buu is Destroyed..." / "Spirit Bomb Triumphant" "Yappari Saikyō Son Gokū!! Majin Bū Shōmetsu" (やっぱり最強孫悟空!!魔人ブウ消滅)	December 13, 1995	March 28, 2003
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, old Buu gets up and holds Kid Buu down long enough for Hercule to pull Vegeta to safety. Old Buu is kicked aside, and Goku throws the Spirit Bomb. It hits Kid Buu, but he starts pushing it back. Goku uses all of the energy he has trying to push it back into Kid Buu, but Buu is too powerful. Vegeta suddenly remembers that they still have a third wish with Porunga. He instructs Dende to wish for Goku's power to be normal again. The wish is granted, and Goku is 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, driving Buu into the ground. Majin Buu is finally dead.
287	272	"Peace is Restored! Friend of Justice, Majin Buu!?" / "Celebrations With Majin Buu" "Modotta Heiwa!! Seigi no Mikata Majin Bū!?" (戻った平和!!正義の味方魔人ブウ!?)	December 20, 1995	March 31, 2003
The Supreme Kai brings Dende back to the world of the Kais. Dende heals Vegeta and Goku. Hercule finds the body of old Buu, and asks Dende to heal him. Vegeta won't let him, and plans to destroy him. He says it is too dangerous for any form of Majin Buu to exist, but Hercule continues to plead with him. Goku takes Hercule's side, explaining to Vegeta that it was old Buu who saved Vegeta's life right before Goku threw the Spirit Bomb. Vegeta reluctantly agrees, and 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 Elder Kai gave him his life, so he can stay on earth for good. Four 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.
288	273	"You're late, Goku! Everyone's Partying!" / "He's Always Late" "Osoi ze Gokū! Minna de Pāti!!" (遅いぜ悟空!みんなでパーティ!!)	January 10, 1996	April 2, 2003
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. 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.
289	274	"Grandpa Goku! I'm Pan!!!" / "Granddaughter Pan" "Gokū Ojiichan! Watashi ga Pan yo!!" (悟空おじいちゃん!私がパンよ!!)	January 17, 1996	April 3, 2003
Five years have passed, and Goku is training with Goten when Bulma and Vegeta show up. 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, she will be fighting with the adults. Hercule and Buu will be fighting, however, and Goku says that there is someone who is 100% human that can threaten to beat Goku and Vegeta.
290	275	"I'm Uub. Now 10 years old, Formerly Majin Buu" / "Buu's Reincarnation" "Oira wa Ūbu! Ima Jussai de Moto Majin!?" (オイラはウーブ!今10歳で元魔人!?)	January 24, 1996	April 4, 2003
The seeding draw for the tournament begins, and Goku has Majin Buu 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 with him. Next up is Goku vs. Uub. Uub is the reincarnation of Buu. King Yemma apparently heard Goku's wish right before Buu was destroyed, and he reincarnated Buu as a good person, named Uub. Uub is apprehensive, so to bait him into fighting, Goku 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	"To Become Stronger! Goku's Dream is to Surpass it!!" / "Goku's Next Journey" "Motto Tsuyoku!! Gokū no Yume wa Chō Dekkē" (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 is able to go toe to toe with Goku. 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 he decides to live with Uub in his village and train him. Despite his friends and family pleading with him to stay, he flies away with Uub. 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.
