Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z,

the elder Kai gave Goku an empowered set of earrings,

allowing him to perform an instant, effortless fusion.

But, there was a catch.

Whoever wore the matching earring

would fuse with him forever.

[SUPER BUU laughs]

[NARRATOR] Back on Earth, the super-charged Majin Buu

tried to destroy the remaining survivors

with one, terrifying blast.

But thanks to a timely arrival by the revitalized Goku,

Buu's attempts were cut short.

[NARRATOR] Down but far from out,

Majin Buu quickly incapacitated Tien,

who had returned from seclusion to play his small part.

[GOKU] He was off guard!

[NARRATOR] And pulling himself together,

Majin Buu readied to battle Goku head to head,

with powers that not even the great Saiyan hero could stop.

[GOKU] Here! Catch!

[NARRATOR] Aware of the desperate odds,

Goku threw the Kai's earring to Gohan,

deciding to save the Earth

by merging permanently with his son.

But Gotenks' fusion wore off inside Buu's body,

causing a sharp drop in the monster's power.

Goku chose at the last minute

not to go through with the fusion.

And that's when Buu made his move.

[GOKU] Gohan!

[NARRATOR] Just as he had done with Piccolo and Gotenks,

Majin Buu absorbed Gohan into his body,

and gained his incredible power.

[SUPER BUU laughs]

[NARRATOR] Now, Goku must convince

someone else to fuse with him.

A task that may prove very, very difficult.

[laughs]

[GOKU grunting]

[SUPER BUU] So, what're you going to do now?!

Think, Goku! Both of your sons are a part of me now.

Maybe we should seek family counseling?

[laughs]

[GOKU] Poor Tien...

[GOKU] Man, I've got to find some more power!

[SUPER BUU] You know they all resent you for leaving, Goku.

They're telling me.

That won't work on me!

You're the monster who devoured everyone we care about!

[laughs]

Yes, I suppose I did, but you were supposed to stop me.

[growls]

Oh, don't take it too personally, Goku.

Everybody fails.

Your failure just means the end of the world!

Don't worry,

if I get a chance, I'll get rid of that creep for good!

Well, only one problem.

I don't have any bullets left.

Pretty lucky for Buu, huh?!

Yes, lucky him.

Tell you what I'm going to do.

I'll give you a chance to join bodies with someone.

[gasps]

You have until the count of five to find a suitable partner,

so get moving!

One!

[gasps]

Two!

[GOKU thinking] No, Dende's size would hurt more than help.

Besides, we need him for the Dragon Balls!

[SUPER BUU] Three!

[GOKU] Oh man, Mr. Satan's not exactly a warrior.

His lack of understanding about energy could hurt, too,

but, he does know basic martial arts.

Four!

I've got no choice!

Hey, you!

Huh?!

[GOKU] Put this on!

[GOKU thinking] What's that?!

[GOKU thinking] That energy...

[GOKU thinking] He's here!

This is as far as I go.

I'm sorry we're not closer,

but I've got my health to think about, you know!

Heh/ That's fine, we can wait here for now.

I'm sure Buu will find me soon enough.

[SUPER BUU] And five!

Yeah, yeah!

[SUPER BUU] What is that fool doing?

He hasn't even tried to fuse yet!

Too bad!

[yells]

Yeah!

[grunts]

Coward, where are you hiding?!

[BABA] I'm outta here!

[VEGETA] Hm?!

[GOKU] Vegeta?!

All right! It's you! I knew it!

[gasps] Kakarot!

Goku!

Hi!

What happened to your halo?

[OLD KAI] Very interesting development.

Yes, I should've seen this coming.

Look! It's-It's Vegeta.

Ah, what good luck!

If those two join bodies,

they will be a force to be reckoned with.

[SUPREME KAI] But Vegeta, sometime earlier,

he destroyed his body in an attempt to stop Majin Buu.

How is it he has returned to the living world?

King Yemma must have seen the situation and intervened.

Yemma may look like a brainless bear,

but he does have his moments.

[OLD KAI laughs]

[SUPER BUU] Does he really think he can escape me?

[SUPER BUU laughs]

I'll hunt him down, no matter how far he goes.

After all, I don't have anything else to do!

--[MR. SATAN groaning] --[BEE barks]

[DENDE] That's it, he's gone.

Hey buddy, did you see what that guy was trying to throw to me?

What a time to try to get an autograph!

That was the strangest thing.

Sorry, I can't talk right now.

I've gotta find a way to improve this situation.

Hey!

Wait, don't leave me here alone!

I saved your life, remember? You owe me!

[barks]

Uh? What happened to you, Goku?

The halo on your head has disappeared.

You've come back to life!

Uh? Oh yeah! That's kind of a long story,

but basically this Old Kai gave me his own life, and um--

Ah! [growls]

Darn! Majin Buu's coming.

He must be getting very anxious to fight with me!

Baba, you'd better get out of here while you still can.

Uh, sure, yes. Good idea.

I'll be rooting for you two boys from a safe distance!

Okay! Ah, good-bye!

I don't know if you're gonna believe this,

but boy am I glad to see you.

I've got a plan to beat Majin Buu,

and with your help, I know we can make it work, Vegeta!

[VEGETA grunts]

Put this on, right now.

I know it sounds strange, but ya have to do it. Please, hurry.

What for?

'Cause, once you put this on,

you and I will be able to combine bodies!

Fusion?

[GOKU] That's right, think about it!

You and I joined in one body! We'll have amazing strength!

[chuckles]

Sorry, the offer's tempting, but I decline.

That's not an option!

[SUPER BUU] What's this? Another fighter?

[laughs]

Go on, try your precious fusion!

That won't save you from me, not now!

Come on! This is no time for us to argue! We have to do this!

Get away from me, Kakarot!

I'd rather lose my body than have anything to do with you!

[groans]

[grunts]

[SUPER BUU laughing]

I found you!

Here he comes!

Listen to me, Vegeta, we've tried this!

You can't beat him like that!

[grunts]

This is the only chance we have!

Really? And just why should I believe you?

[VEGETA grunts]

Out of my way!

[yells]

[SUPER BUU, VEGETA chuckle]

It's you, I remember fighting with you before.

[SUPER BUU] You're not the one I'm after,

but I'll be glad to destroy you both!

[SUPER BUU yells]

[BEE pants]

[DENDE] Hang on, Tien, I'm going to heal you!

[gasps]

There, that's better!

[MR. SATAN sputters]

You saved me, thanks Dende. Where's Goku?

And where's Buu?

Goku left somewhere, Instant Transmission,

and Majin Buu followed him.

[TIEN] I see.

[MR. SATAN] Uh. Hey, uh, how come, uh, he's, uh, good again?

[SUPER BUU] Come on, why don't you attack me?

It's two against one!

[GOKU] Cool it, Vegeta!

You've got to understand

that Buu's powers have increased a lot

since you last fought.

There's no way that you can win!

You think he's the most powerful being in the universe,

and maybe he is,

but just like you, he does not have true pride!

[growls]

I don't expect you to understand. Not you, Kakarot!

I sent myself into a cold oblivion, and I did it on a lie!

The Saiyan Prince will not fall again!

[yells]

[yelling continues]

[SUPER BUU screams]

[gasps]

[growls]

No, don't!

[VEGETA grunting]

[roars]

--[SUPER BUU grunting] --[VEGETA groaning]

[VEGETA yells]

[VEGETA grunting] Let go of me!

[yells]

[VEGETA] Do not help me, Kakarot! Do not help me!

[SUPER BUU] Well, it would seem you two

have some issues to work out!

[VEGETA, GOKU grunting]

[groans]

[VEGETA grunts]

[yells]

[VEGETA groaning]

[chuckles]

[GOKU] Listen to me, Vegeta!

You see, you can't fight him on your own.

There's only one thing left to do.

I don't know why you're so angry,

but time's running out!

[GOKU] You have to let it go.

Vegeta!

Quiet!

Look, they're fighting, again.

They had better hurry up and fuse

before Majin Buu sucks up another one.

What's wrong with those two youths, anyway?

Do they have a grudge against each other?

Uh, yes!

I suppose this canyon here

will make a good cemetery for them both.

Come on Vegeta, we don't have much time left!

Please, you've got to help me, just this once!

You want my help?!

[GOKU grunts]

You've got some nerve, asking me to help you!

You still don't think I know what you did to me?

[gasps]

I have traveled to the Other World

I know all about your technique.

Your Super Saiyan Three.

You hid it from me during our battle.

You allowed me to believe that I could beat you!

Yeah, that's part true.

I do have the ability to become a Super Saiyan Three.

But hey, I can only do it for a short time!

Ah! That's enough of your lies! Pride-less!

Do you not realize my humiliation!

Just stay away from me!

I hope that you two are done fighting each other.

Because now it's my turn to have a little fun!

[yells]

[VEGETA grunts]

[VEGETA, GOKU grunting]

[yells]

[GOKU] He's coming back!

[VEGETA, GOKU yell]

[yells]

[BOTH gasp]

[BOTH grunt]

[SUPER BUU laughs]

Darn it! I told you this was impossible!

[GOKU] Look, if we don't do something soon,

we'll be history! Along with this whole planet.

Why do I care?

Wake up! Majin Buu's eaten everyone we care about.

Everyone is gone!

Even Bulma!

[gasps]

[grunts]

They've become part of Buu. They can't even die!

I just thought the least we could do

is put our old differences aside, just this once,

and really work together.

We owe that to our teammates,

our families, Vegeta, our friends.

[KRILLIN screams]

[ALL scream]

[GOKU] Look, you've always talked about our Saiyan race.

How we're the last of a mighty people.

Well, it's time we accept we're starting a new race,

one that can be just as strong, just as proud,

but not if we're caught up in so much of our old birthrights

to see what we have right in front of us!

We've lost our old race, Vegeta.

Let's not lose this one, too!

[VEGETA] Kakarot,

how do you know this fusion will be enough to stop him?

I don't know for sure,

but I know it's the best chance we have of saving the Earth!

[gasps]

You two have lived long enough!

[yells]

Here, give it to me!

Ah!

What are you waiting for? Give it now!

You bet!

It's time to die!

Come on, you said right ear, right?

That's right Vegeta, and one more thing,

once we join our bodies we'll be stuck in that form, forever.

[gasps] Imbecile! You tell me now?

Don't you think that's important information?

To the end of Earth!

All right! It's on!

Great! Thanks, Vegeta.

[laughing]

[VEGETA grunts]

[laughs, gasps]

[gasps]

All right! Ha, ha, ha!

[NARRATOR] Unbelievable!

Goku and Vegeta have put aside their differences,

and fused into one warrior!

A new page in Z-Fighter history has been turned,

but how will they fare in the fight against Buu?
