Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z,

Goku was having an energy crisis,

but fortunately the good Majin Buu

was able to take up the fight

when the mighty Super Saiyan lost his shine.

But the kind Buu wouldn't last long!

Something had to be done, and fast!

Hey! I know you've got a plan.

[VEGETA] Yes. And?

Well, I hate to pry, but um, what is it, exactly?

Kakarot, how many times have you saved the world up until now?

Hmm. What? How many? I'm not sure.

[VEGETA] Then perhaps it's time

to let the world fend for itself, for once.

Now, listen carefully, Dende! This is very important.

[NARRATOR] And so Vegeta's plan was put into action!

And Moori summoned the Dragon on the new Planet Namek.

[PORUNGA] Name your first wish.

[NARRATOR] With the first wish,

the planet Earth was brought back to its original state.

[NARRATOR] And with the second,

all of its inhabitants were restored to life.

But staying alive was the problem.

What did Vegeta have in mind?

[VEGETA] Let's do it. Now! It's time!

It's time? Time for what?

The Spirit Bomb!

That's your big idea? A spirit bomb?!

[chatter. laughing]

Is it really you, baby doll?

Of course it's me!

Whoa, dude! This is totally cosmic!

[BOTH laughing]

Yep. Same old world.

[BABY giggling]

What in the world is going on?

It's all back, as if nothing ever happened!

Yeah! This is really bizarre!

Hey! How come Majin Buu isn't here, guys? Hmm?

Neither is Mr. Satan.

Aah! Don't tell me he beat him!

Wow! Wouldn't that be something!

[CHICHI, BULMA lauging]

[BULMA] And just where were you two in the next world, huh?

Well, Krillin and I got to do

a little bit of training with King Kai.

Oh, I guess we had it all wrong then!

We just assumed that you went down to you know where!

Gee! Thanks a lot!

[BULMA, CHICHI laughing]

[MARON] Daddy!

[KRILLIN] Huh?

Hey! Whatcha doin' there, squirt?

[MARON] Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!

I missed you so much!

Yeah! What a journey!

Being dead wasn't so bad, now was it?

Huh?

[chuckles lightly]

Dear Videl, Chichi, Bulma. I'm so glad you made it home.

Oh, how I wish I could have joined you,

but not this time.

For too long, love has been a stranger in my cold heart.

Maybe next time, dear ones. Maybe next time.

A Spirit Bomb?!

But that didn't work against Frieza,

what makes you think it'll work now?

It will.

So, that's what you meant about the world saving itself?

You want the people of Earth to supply the energy to beat Buu.

Uh.

[KID BUU grunting]

Come on! Get him, Buu!

Give him a wham! An a pow! An a wap!

--[BUU whimpers] --[KID BUU grunting]

Punch him back, Buu! Awe, don't let him do that!

You're bigger than he is!

Pretty please, Buu!

--[KID BUU yells] --[BUU groans]

[yells]

[BUU] Uuah!

[KID BUU panting]

[whimpers]

[panting]

You be candy!

[KID BUU yells]

[startled gasps]

Hmmm?

[BUU yelps]

Buu! Buu!

Keep your guard up!

[VEGETA] Now. It's time.

You know what to do, Kakarot?

Yeah but... do you really think the people of Earth

have that much energy?

[VEGETA grunts]

Uh! I'm not doubting your plan,

it's just that Buu's so darn powerful!

It'll be enough!

I've learned not to underestimate the power

of the human race.

We won't just take a little bit.

We'll take as much as they can possibly give.

The maximum, huh?

[PORUNGA] What is your third and final wish?

[DENDE] Uhh! Please, just one moment!

Vegeta!

[VEGETA] What?

Uh, Porunga wants to know what your third wish is!

How 'bout some new boots. Size nine, please.

New boots! He's not serious, is he?

Uhh...

Uuhhh...!

Of course not!

[VEGETA] Idiot! Is Kibito Shin there?

Yes! Here!

I need to speak to the inhabitants of the Earth!

All of them at one time!

Huh? Uh, are you saying that you want

to speak telepathically to the entire planet?

[VEGETA] Exactly!

It can't be done!

Eeehhh!

Uh, Vegeta, we don't know how.

Great, now what?

[KING KAI] Hey, fellas! I can arrange that!

[chuckles, snorts]

What?

Oh, hey! It's King Kai!

Can you really do it?

Of course, I can. It's a cinch.

Planetary telepathic communication is my specialty.

[chuckles]

Okay, Vegeta. You've got the floor.

Whenever you feel the urge, just go for it.

That's more like it!

People of the Earth! Listen carefully!

[VEGETA] As you know,

some very strange events have been taking place recently.

Your entire planet was destroyed at the hands of Majin Buu.

But then, in a snap,

everything was restored back to normal.

Many of you are doubting if all of this actually happened,

but I can assure you that this is not a dream.

Not a dream?

Wait!

Hey! What's this guy talking about?

Shh!

Oh, uh... Uh, right!

He's speaking to the people of Earth.

Hm?

Uhhh, that's not possible!

Uh, you guys.

Instead of pretending

to talk to the people of the Earth and all,

why don't you go over there and please help Buu!

We are trying to help.

Trust me. This is the best way.

Unfortunately, Majin Buu is still alive

and the Earth is still in great danger.

A small group of warriors have taken up the fight

on your behalf.

Hey! It really is him! That's Vegeta's voice!

Shh!

[VEGETA] However, the battle has been

extremely difficult,

and we can't win it by ourselves.

[sighs] Vegeta!

[VEGETA] That is why I am speaking to you right now.

To ask you for your help.

If all of you would raise your hands up to the sky,

and offer a portion of your energy,

we could use it to defeat Majin Buu once and for all!

No more being slaughtered like sacrificial lambs!

Consider this your first small stride

towards becoming a warrior race!

Now, let's begin! Raise your hands up! Now!

He ah, certainly has a way with words! A bit dramatic.

They're ready, Kakarot. Take your place.

Right! [chuckles]

You're really on top of things! I'm impressed!

All right! If there was ever a time, guys! This is it!

It's time! My dad's ready!

This is really fun!

Yeah!

Hmm! Who would have thought!

Vegeta comes through in the clutch.

Whoa, yeah! Here it is!

One Spirit Bomb, coming up!

[thinking] Ahh! Wow!

At this rate, this thing's going to be enormous!

This is just from Gohan's group.

Yeah! What an incredible start!

When everyone else kicks theirs in,

I think we'll have energy to spare.

[VEGETA thinking] Yes! Yes! That's it!

It's working! Keep it coming! We need more!

Give it everything you've got!

People of Earth! Don't stop now! It's working!

All of you! Raise your hands up!

Okay, yeah! I get it!

Here!

Uh... Like this?

[laughs]

All right!

Yipee! Yeah! Like this!

[giggles]

Yeah!

Yeah!

[ROSHI chuckles]

[OOLONG, PUAR laugh]

[ALL laugh]

That boost was from Krillin and Bulma's group!

Vegeta! Keep it comin'!

[thinking] Good, good! They're doing it!

[DENDE] Look how big it is! Wow, it's huge!

That should be enough to destroy Buu!

Not quite! But at this rate it won't take much longer!

It looks like they're actually going to pull it off!

--Yeah! --Ha-ha!

[KING KAI] Wait! Something's wrong!

[KING KAI] If Goku's gathering energy from everyone on Earth,

the Spirit Bomb should be much larger by now!

Something's not right!

Give it some time!

I'm sure it's going to get bigger and bigger!

Yeah! Surely!

[MOORI] Let's see here!

Porunga! Are you absolutely positively sure

that all the Earthlings were brought back to life?

Do you doubt me? It is as I said!

[BUU yelps]

[chuckles]

[groans, coughs]

Huh? [whimpers]

[bellows]

No! He didn't! There goes our planet!

[grunting]

[thinking] I can't lose this energy!

[MR. SATAN yelling]

Blast it!

Darn, the fat one's dead!

[KID BUU chuckles]

Hmm!

It's all over! We needed more time!

[VEGETA grunts]

[chuckles] Hm?

Look there! It's Buu! He's alive!

[BUU chuckles]

[KID BUU grunting]

--[BUUS chuckle] --[KID BUU groaning]

[laughing]

That's it! A quadruple whammy!

Nice! We're still in the game!

[GOKU] Vegeta! It's not getting any bigger!

There's no way this is going to cut it!

We need more energy than this!

Now what?

No! It should have been fully completed by now!

Darn! What's going on?

[GUY 1] Raise your hands!

[MAN 2] You raise your hands!

I don't believe in that nonsense!

Where did that come from?

There's nobody there! Is there?

[WOMAN 1] Whose voice was that?

[WOMAN 2] I don't know, but he sounded nuts!

What? I don't believe it!

Are you gonna raise your hands up?

Naa! Let's go see a movie or something.

That was so weird!

No kidding!

Mommy! My tummy's growling!

Huh? Oh, well, how 'bout a big ice cream cone?

--[KIDS] Yay! --[GIRL] Yay! Ice cream!

[DUDE 1] It must have been a trick!

[DUDE 2] Yeah! Some sort of mass hypnosis!

Aaah!

Are they mad?

[barks]

Quiet, boy! Sshhh! Now is not the time!

Darn those idiots! Don't they care about their own world?!

They're like children!

Everything has to be done for them!

When are you going to grow up?!

Can't you Earthlings do anything for yourselves?!

[thinking] What's the hold up?

Why isn't everyone giving their energy?

Don't have much time! Every second is vital!

[growls]

Ah! Good heavens! Buu...!

[laughing]

[grunting]

[BUU] Aaah!

Oh, no!

[chuckles]

Ooh!

[chuckles]

--[KID BUU grunts] --[BUU yelps]

[laughs intensely]

[BOTH whimpering]

[yell]

You have to help! Please help!

If you don't, he's going to die!

[grunts]

[MR. SATAN] Please! I beg of you!

[VEGETA grunts]

[sobbing]

[thinking] Darn those Earthlings!

Maybe they're not worth saving!

Fine! I'm going!

[KING KAI] Wait! Vegeta! Please! Don't be rash!

You've got to try to persuade them again!

It's our only hope!

[KING KAI] Think of it from their point of view.

Would you obey a strange voice from the sky

if it told you what to do?

They're frightened.

This sort of thing doesn't happen to them every day.

I think you should try again.

All right! I'll do it!

[VEGETA] People of the Earth...

Raise you hands up right now or you're all going to die!

[KING KAI hollers]

[indistinct chatter]

[chuckles]

Vegeta is a master tactician. His plan is excellent.

[chuckles]

Except for one thing.

He put his faith in a plebeian race from the dark ages.

[chuckles]

I finally get to see those monkeys fry!

[laughs intensely]

Hey! What the heck's going on down there?

No one except our family and friends

have offered any energy!

I know that!

For some reason those idiot Earthlings

won't do what I tell them to do.

[BUU wailing]

[GOKU] Vegeta! You've got to try again!

Okay.

Hey! People of the Earth! You are all in great danger!

Majin Buu has not been defeated! He lives!

Recently your whole planet was destroyed!

That was not a dream!

And it will happen again if you don't act quickly!

Stand up for your planet! Raise your hands!

Lend your strength and get rid of Majin Buu

before he gets rid of you!

[NARRATOR] Vegeta's plea has fallen on deaf ears.

As Goku holds the Spirit Bomb up in the sky

like a symbol of hope,

the Saiyan Prince agonizes

over how to break down the dam of doubt

that is holding back the vast reservoir of human energy.

Can he get through in time?

Stay tuned for scenes from the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!
