Seven years passed since the Cell Saga. Much has changed
during this era of peace. Gohan is a student of Orange Star High
School, and became the boyfriend of Videl, Sataan's daughter.
Trunks is now eight years old. His best friend is Goten, Gohan's
little brother who is one year younger than Trunks. Klilyn married
Android #18 and became the father of Marron. Vegeta settled
down after Goku's death. The peace will not last long...
Goku is competing in a fighting tournament of the dead. His
meets a stalement with his new friend and opponent,
Paiku-han. On Earth, Gohan is training Goten and Vegeta is
training Trunks. Gohan and Vegeta become shocked at the fact that
Goten and Trunks can reach Super Saiyan stage at such young
ages.
There is another Tenkaichi Boudoukai on Earth. Goten and Trunks
want to attend in the competition, but are banned because they are
too young. However, they steal a competitor's costume and wear it.
They battle Android 18 and their disguise is revealed. Piccolo faces
someone known as Kaiou-shin, but freezes upon sensing his
opponent's power. Goku is granted a single day of life to fight at
the tournament so he is also present. It is Gohan's turn to compete.
He has assumed the identity as a masked crime fighter known as the
Great Saiyan-Man. Gohan powers up and turns Super Saiyan mode.
This blows off his disguise and the audience learns that the Great
Saiyan-Man is really the nerd Gohan. Spopobitch and Yamu, two
competitors with a "M" on their foreheads, fly out to the battle ring
and approach Gohan. Then, the two mysterious men take out a lamp
and use it to absorb Gohan's energy. Gohan falls unconsicous,
Spopobitch and Yamu fly away, and everyone else become shocked
and wonder what just happened.
Kaiou-shin and his partner approach the Z warriors and revive
Gohan. Then, they tell their story. They are really godly beings
beyond Kaiou and are here to stop the plot of Babi-di and Darbura.
Babi-di is an ugly little being who wants to destroy all life just for
the fun of it. Darbura is the Prince of Darkness. Babi-di and Darbura
are allied at the task of reviving someone called Buu. To do so, a lot
of energy is needed. Everyone learns that Spopobitch and Yamu are
zombies of Babi-di. That is why they absorbed Gohan's energy.
Allowing Sopopobitch and Yamu to attack Gohan was part of the
plan to follow them to Babi-di's lair. A new terror breaches over the
Earth. The Z warriors decide to help Kaiou-shin for the sake of their
planet, and follow Spopobitch and Yamu to Babi-di and Darbura's
lair.
Babi-di and Darbura's minions are killed in the battles to come. Our
heroes face Darbura now. Unaware of Darbura's ability to "stone",
Klilyn and Piccolo are turned into stone. The only remedy to the
curse would be Darbura's death. Darbura is eventually killed and
Klilyn and Piccolo are restored to normal.
Learning that becoming Babi-di's slave will make him stronger,
Vegeta volunteers to become Babi-di's slave. A "M" appears on
Vegeta's forehead and he turns evil once again. Majin-Vegeta looks
forward for another battle against Goku and hopes to defeat him
once and for all.
Vegeta's power donation to Babi-di grants enough energy to revive
the fat being known as Buu. Buu is re-awakened and Babi-di rides
around the city on top of him. Cities begin to get terrorized.
Majin-Vegeta knocks out Goku, but realizes that good triumphs
over evil. He regains his sanity and truely becomes good.
Majin-Vegeta goes off for Buu and fights him. Buu is a lot stronger
and has the advantage. In a final effort to defeat Buu, Vegeta
self-destructs, hoping that his sacrifice will take Buu down with him.
To his dismay, Buu survives.
Even in Super Saiyan level 2, Goku is unable to defeat Buu. Rage
increases, and Goku reaches Super Saiyan level 3 for the first time!
Meanwhile, Bulma gathers the dragonballs to revive all the civilians
killed by the Majins since the Tenkaichi Boudoukai.
Buu grows tired of being Babi-di's slave and kills him. Then, he
purifies himself by fission and splits into two beings. One is pure
good, and the other is pure evil. The two Buus fight and the evil one
turns the good Buu into a cookie. The cookie is eaten, and Buu
powers up in a body transformation. The fat Buu is now leaner and
more muscular.
Meanwhile, Gohan heads to Kaiou-shin's planet to receive training.
As a sign of respect, he wears the Kaiou-shin suit. Gohan pulls out
the legendary Z Sword and begins to train under Dai Kaiou-shin,
the Elder Kaiou-shin. Gohan is learning how to use his hidden
powers without getting angry to go Super Saiyan mode.
Kaiou-shin reflects at his past. When he was young, he lived in
peace with his family at his home planet. Then, an evil sorceror,
Babi-di's ancestor, used Buu to terrorize. (At the time, Buu was
smaller than how he appears during the current section of the
series.) Buu killed all of Kaiou-shin's family members. The
Kaiou-shins cursed Boo into his fat form and made him dormant.
Kaiou-shin, his partner, and Dai Kaiou-shin are the only
Kaiou-shins left. Now, years later, Buu has been revived.
Everyone is at Sky Palace (Dende and PoPo's palace) except
Gohan, who is still training under the Kaiou-shins. Gokou
taught Goten and Trunks the art of fusion. Goten and Trunks
fuse and become Gotenks! Then, he teleports to Kaiou-shin's planet
and watches everything through Kaiou-shin's crystal ball.
Buu heads for Sky Palace to look for the "strong" being he sensed.
He needs to absorb more powerful beings to be restored to his
original form, the stronger form that he was in before the dying
Kaiou-shins cursed him. The "strong" being in which Buu searches
for is Gotenks. Goten and Trunks are training in a room inside Sky
Palace. Piccolo tricks Buu into waiting for the boys to come out.
Time passes by slower in the room, so it will buy some time for the
boys to train more. Chi-Chi, seeing Buu, goes up to him to scold him
for killing so many innocent people. Buu turns Chi-Chi into an egg
and squashes it.
Buu grows tired of waiting and threatens to be taken into the room
in which Goten and Trunks are in, or else he will kill everyone at Sky
Palace. Piccolo, knowing that he is too weak to fight Buu, takes Buu
to Goten and Trunks with the hope that the boys have become
strong enough to fight Buu.
Goten and Trunks fuse into Gotenks and fight Buu. Gotenks is able
to stand up to Buu, but neither side is winning. Piccolo blasts the
doorway in the room. Then, he tells that without the exit, everyone
will remain trapped in it forever so Buu can no longer kill any more
people. Gotenks argues with Piccolo that they too have become
trapped. Buu creates a fireball that produces a portal exit. He exits
the room and returns Sky Palace. Gotenks and Piccolo look at each
other in grief; they are not trapped and Buu is free. Super Saiyan
Gotenks tries to create the same fireball that Buu created, but is too
weak to. He powers up and reaches Super Saiyan level 3. Now much
stronger, he is able to produce the portal. Piccolo and Gotenks exit
the room and face Buu once again.
In the battle followed, Sky Palace is destroyed. Super Saiyan level 3
Gotenks is overwhelming Buu and winning. Buu is thrown back to
Earth. Gotenks and Piccolo return to Earth to search for Buu's body.
Buu survived the attack and reappears. Gotenks prepares to fight
again, but the fusion wears off. Goten and Trunks unfused are too
weak to fight Buu.
Gohan completes his training with Dai Kaiou-shin. He chooses a
change in clothes to wear his father's suit and wishes everyone
goodbye. Goku wishes his son luck, but envies that he cannot
help because he is dead. Kaiou-shin's partner teleports Gohan to
Earth.
Gohan appears in time to save Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo. Gohan
beats Buu and Buu self-destructs. Thinking they won the battle,
Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Buu fly off. They see Sataan and Dende
on their journey and take them with them. A being flies towards
them. It is Buu! Goten and Trunks fuse again and are in Super
Saiyan level 3. Eagerly wanting to fight again, Gotenks boasts about
beating Buu. Taking advantage of the distraction, Buu absorbs
Super Saiyan level 3 Gotenks and undergoes another body change.
Now a lot stronger, Buu overwhelms Gohan. Buu throws a fireball at
Gohan. Gohan tries to block, but another fireball pushes Buu's
fireball away from Gohan. The ally is Tenshin-han. However, Buu
prepares another fireball.
In the judgement court, King Yemma grants Vegeta life so that he
could help save the planet. In Kaiou-shin's planet, the Kaiou-shins
tell Goku about fusion earrings. Kaiou-shin and his partner
demonstrate. Each partner wears one of the earrings and they
permanently fuse. The earrings are given to Goku. He is to give
one to Gohan so that he and Gohan could fuse to beat Buu. To
bring Goku back to life, Dai Kaiou-shin exchanges his life for
Goku. Goku's halo disappears, and Dai Kaiou-shin falls dead.
Then, he re-awakens with a halo on top of his head. Goku thanks
everyone and teleports to help save Earth.
Buu is about to throw a huge fireball at Gohan. Goku teleports to
the scene and throws a fireball at Buu. Buu is sliced and his legs
and lower part of his antennae are cut off. Goku tells Gohan about
the fusion earrings and throws one to Gohan. Gohan catches it and
prepares to wear it. The cut off part of Buu's antennae engulfs
Piccolo and Buu changes into a stronger form again. The cut off
lower body of Buu walks and kicks Tenshin-han unconscious.
Then, it engulfs Gohan and Buu powers up again. Goku feels
despair again.
Vegeta appears and aids Goku. Goku tells Vegeta about
the fusion earrings and Vegeta finds the earring dropped by
Gohan when Gohan got absorbed. Goku and Vegeta are
pulled together and become Vegetto!
Vegetto beats Buu, but purposely gets absorbed by Buu to save
their comrades. The absorption cancelled out the effect of the
permanent fusion and Vegetto splits back into Goku and Vegeta.
They find and rescue Goten, Trunks, Gohan, and Piccolo by
carrying the bodies and escaping through one of Buu's pores. Good
Buu is also still in Buu's body. As the characters left Buu's pores,
they returned to their original size. Meanwhile, absorbing Vegetto
had given Buu enough energy to complete his phase change. He
powers up as the escapes from his body takes place, and returns to
his original form. "Original" Buu is back.
Buu does a giant fireball and blows up the Earth. The newly fused
Kaiou-shin teleports to help Goku teleport Vegeta, Trunks, Goten,
Gohan, Piccolo, Dende, and Sataan to safety in Kaiou-shin's planet.
Buu teleports and follows Gokou. Goku and Buu battle. Goku
gets beaten and is weak, so Vegeta joins the fight. Vegeta admits
that Gou is better than him for the first time and then fights Buu.
Buu beats Vegeta and is about to kill him, but Sataan pops up and
threatens Buu. Buu attacks Sataan but Sataan dodges the punch.
All of a sudden, Buu goes in pain and spits the good fat Buu out.
The two Buus fight and the good Buu gets beat unconscious.
Goku and Vegeta continue to face Buu.
Vegeta tells Kaiou-shin to gather the Namek dragonballs. He does
so, and makes the first wish to restore the Earth. The second wish
revives all the civilians that Buu killed. The third wish is saved for
later. Everyone is back on Earth except Goku, Vegeta, and Buu.
Gokou begins to create a Genki Dama while Vegeta distracts Buu.
Our heroes on Earth tell people to raise their hands. Doing so will
donate energy to Gokou's fireball. However, no one listens. Sataan,
still famous after the Cell Game, raises his hands. Following the
example of their idol, everyone on Earth raises their hands. Goku
gets enough energy for his fireball and he fires it. Buu is too strong
to get blasted and holds the fireball back. Kaiou-shin makes the last
wish from the dragonballs to restore Goku's energy. Goku's power
restores from his weakened state and he uses his revived strength
to strengthen his fireball. Buu, unable to repel Goku's Genki-Dama,
is killed by the fireball. Our heroes have won the battle.
Fat Buu awakens. Our heroes debate on whether or not to kill him,
but Sataan pleads that this Buu saved his life. Buu is spared and
joins the Z warriors.
Ten years later...
Goten and Trunks are teenagers. Gohan married Videl, and the two
became parents of five-year old Pan. Goku wished the evil Buu
back to life to fight him again. The wish reincarnates Buu into Ubuu;
all evil cleansed. Goku is training Ubuu. There is peace on Earth...
