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. A calmed Majin Buu is able to heal the dog, and the three friends continue having fun. Majin Buu rebuilds his house to look like the dog, which he names Bee. While Hercule is cooking a meal for Majin Buu, one of the gunmen sneaks into Majin Buu's house and shoots the World Champion. Majin Buu starts to lose control of his rage himself. After he heals Hercule, he instructs him to get away. Majin Buu begins giving off more steam than ever, and the steam is congealing in the sky. It forms the evil side of Majin Buu, a tall, thin, gray version of Majin Buu. Evil Buu flies over to the gunman and blasts him into oblivion.

Evil Buu and Good Buu begin to fight, and it's clear that Evil Buu has the advantage. Good Buu becomes desperate and angry and resorts to trying to turn his opponent into chocolate, but Evil Buu deflects the ray back at Good Buu, who becomes a piece of chocolate. Evil Buu consumes the chocolate, and transforms into Super Majin 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.

Super Buu demands to fight Gotenks, but Piccolo knows that the boys aren't ready. To buy time, he tells Super Buu that he can spend a day killing the rest of the people on Earth. Super 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. Super Buu completes his walk, and raises up his arm. Millions of energy blasts start flying out of his hand down to Earth, and they kill virtually everyone left. After this Human Extinction Attack is finished, only Hercule, the dog Bee, Tien Shin Han, Chiaotzu, and Fortune Teller Baba remain on the surface, as well as the people on the lookout. Piccolo asks for Super Buu to wait for one hour, and Videl agrees. Super Buu complies, because Videl is the daughter of Hercule.

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

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

Super 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. Super Gotenks sends the final one down Super Buu's mouth, blowing him into tiny pieces. Super 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, Super Gotenks acts like he's out of ideas, and Super Buu begins beating up the fused Super Saiyan. Thinking that Super Gotenks cannot stop Super Buu, Piccolo destroys the door to the outside world, which traps the three of them in the Chamber for all eternity.

Hysterically upset at the prospect of being trapped in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber forever, with nothing to destroy and no candy to eat, Super Buu starts to scream of hate. To everyone's surprise including his own, his screams become so powerful that they create a hole in the barrier between the dimensions of the chamber and Earth. Super Buu changes shape in order to fit through it, and the hole closes, leaving Piccolo and Super Gotenks trapped. Back on The Lookout, Super Buu is hungry and excited at the prospect of turning more people into food, and so he turns everyone on the lookout into chocolate. Piccolo and Super Gotenks have been attempting to scream loud enough to create an inter-dimensional hole like Super Buu did, but they have no success. Super Gotenks decides to play his trump card, transforming into a Super Saiyan 3. In this state, he has the power necessary to create a hole for him and Piccolo to jump through. Upon their return to the lookout, Super Buu tells Super Gotenks 3 that he ate all of his friends, and enraged, Super Gotenks 3 promises Buu that he will pay to eat everyone.

Super Gotenks and Super Buu begin to fight, and the collateral damage from the battle begins to destroy The Lookout. Super Buu slams Super Gotenks 3 down through The Lookout itself. Down on Earth, Super Gotenks 3 tries another Super Ghost Kamikaze attack, but it once again fails. Super Buu lands a powerful hit on Super Gotenks 3 that sends him flying back into The Lookout. Super Buu then folds himself into a ball, and begins repeatedly shooting himself through The Lookout until all that's left is rubble floating in the air. While still in a ball, Super Gotenks 3 is able to trap him in a little sphere. He and Piccolo then play some volleyball with Super Buu, and Super Gotenks 3 spikes him down to Earth. Just when it seems like Super Buu is dead, a powerful blast of energy comes from the crater. With Super Buu once again ready to fight, Super Gotenks 3 only has a few minutes until he separates.

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

Gohan arrives at the scene, and everyone is shocked at how much power he has. After Gohan expertly pounds him to a pulp, Super Buu heals himself and steps up the intensity, but Gohan still has the upper hand. He is easily picking Super Buu apart.

Realizing that he's totally outmatched, Super Buu decides to self-destruct, hoping to take Gohan with him. Gohan escapes before Super Buu explodes, and he takes the others with him out of the blast radius. Afterwards, there is no sign of Super Buu, but Gohan knows that he's still around. They suddenly detect Dende's energy signal, and they go to find him. On the way, they pick up Hercule Satan and the dog, Bee. Dende explains that as Super Buu was escaping through the inter-dimensional hole, Mr. Popo threw him from the lookout, because without Dende, there would be no Dragon Balls to grant the wishes they intend to use to reverse all the damage. Super Buu tracks them down, but instead of having a rematch with Gohan, he calls out Goten and Trunks.

Unknown to the others, Super Buu secretly separates two chunks from his back, and the two pink blobs creep around behind the others. As soon as Goten and Trunks fuse, one of the blobs encases Super Gotenks 3. Piccolo, too, has been covered by a pink blob. Super Buu calls each of the blobs back to him, which merge with him, changing his appearance and giving him access to all of Piccolo's and Gotenks memories, abilities and power. The new and improved Super Buu then fights Gohan, and it's clear that Super Buu has the advantage. Gohan is unable to keep up with Super Buu's new speed and strength. Super 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. Super Buu now possesses new skills, such as the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack and the Special Beam Cannon, each of which he uses on Gohan. He is about to finish Gohan, when Bee comes running up. Hercule tries to save Bee, but is only several times stronger than the average human - nothing compared to Buu. Super Buu is about to blast each of them when Gohan saves them. Super Buu then uses Gotenks' Galactic Doughnut trick on Gohan, and aims a Kamehameha wave at him, but Gohan is able to summon enough strength to break free and move out of the way in time. Meanwhile, in Other World, King Yemma decides to send Vegeta back to earth to help in the fight against Majin Buu. On the world of the Kais, Old Kai decides to give his life to Goku so he can return to Earth and fight Super Buu. The now deceased Old Kai gives Goku his earrings. He explains to Goku that if he and another person each wear one, they will fuse together.

Old Kai tells Supreme Kai and Kibito to try a fusion with their earrings, but only after they fuse together does he reveal that it is a permanent fusion. Dende heals Gohan's injuries, so to prevent this from happening again, Super Buu creates a giant energy ball and aims it at Dende. Just before it hits, it is deflected by Tien Shin Han's Tri-Beam attack, who has decided to help, even though he is terribly outclassed. Super Buu tries again, but Goku suddenly appears and sends a disk of energy at the monster. It cuts off his legs and part of his head. His legs deal Tien a crushing kick which completely incapacitates him and then they return to Super Buu. Desperate to stop Super Buu, Goku throws Gohan the other earring, but his aim is off and the earring is lost in the rubble. Goku goes Super Saiyan 3 in an attempt to hold Super Buu off while Gohan searches for the earring. Inside Super Buu, Gotenks' fusion wears off, splitting back into Trunks and Goten, causing Buu to lose well over a third of his power and his appearance to change. Realizing what's happened, Goku declares he can now defeat Super Buu without fusing with Gohan and prepares to fight. Knowing he needs a massive power increase, Super Buu causes the part of his head that was cut off earlier to suddenly engulf Gohan, just like Piccolo and Gotenks. He reabsorbs the blob containing Gohan, and is now even more powerful than he was with Gotenks absorbed.

Now back in control, Super Buu toys with Goku, telling him he has some time to find someone to fuse with. He considers fusions with Dende and Hercule, but neither of them are appealing possibilities. He suddenly senses that Vegeta has returned, and uses Instant Transmission to teleport to his location. While Super Buu is distracted, Dende heals Tien. After Goku finds Vegeta, Goku tries to convince him to fuse, but Vegeta is angry at Goku because he knows Goku was holding back his Super Saiyan 3 transformation when they fought. With Vegeta refusing to cooperate, they are forced to take on Super Buu as individuals, but are clearly outclassed. Goku tells Vegeta that Super Buu absorbed Trunks and killed Bulma and asks him to put their differences aside to save their people. Vegeta finally agrees, and only when he puts the earring on does Goku mention that the fusion is permanent. The two last surviving Saiyans fuse and a new being is created.

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

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

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

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

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

Goku shakes off the slime, and blasts the worm, injuring it.

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

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

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

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

The Supreme Kai transports himself, Dende, and Old Kai to a distant planet so they will be out of Goku and Vegeta's way, along with a crystal ball that allows them to watch the battle. Unfortunately, they forget to take Hercule and Bee along. Goku and Vegeta play rock, paper, scissors to decide who will fight first, and Goku wins. He powers up to Super Saiyan 2, and starts beating up Kid Buu. He blasts him apart, but he reforms. Kid 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 shock waves rock the entire planet, disfiguring its shape and leaving the surface ragged and uneven. Goku decides to power up to Super Saiyan 3.

Goku and Kid Buu continue to fight, each taking powerful blows from each other. Kid Buu folds himself into a ball again, and hits Goku hard. Goku puts all of his energy into a massive Kamehameha, but Kid Buu just reforms afterward. Goku returns to his normal state, collapsing from exhaustion. Vegeta then steps in, but finds he is no match for Kid Buu. Kid Buu cleans his clock, and just as he's about to deal Vegeta the finishing blow, Goku pushes him out of the way. He then powers back up to Super Saiyan 3 and continues their furious fight. Vegeta reminisces about all of the fights he and Goku were in. He finally admits to himself that Goku is better because he is the No.1.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everyone has arrived to watch. Gohan, who is now married to Videl, has decided not to enter, but his daughter, Goku and Chi-Chi's granddaughter Pan, will fight.

King Yemma apparently heard Goku's wish right before Kid Buu was destroyed, and he reincarnated him as a good person named Uub. Uub is apprehensive, so to bait him into fighting, Goku eventually resorts to taunting the young boy. After a particularly nasty insult and a kick to the face, Uub has snapped, and is now ready to fight.

Goku and Uub begin to fight, and it's clear that Uub doesn't know much about fighting. But as the match goes on, he learns more and more, and more and more of his hidden power is released until he is able to go toe to toe with Goku in his Base state (without Goku powering up). When Goku does power up slightly (in his normal state) Uub nearly falls out of the ring, but Goku saves him from hitting the ground. He realizes that Uub doesn't even know how to fly, so Goku decides to train him. Despite his friends and family pleading with Goku to stay, he flies away with Uub on his back. Goku decides to train Uub to defend the Earth when he's gone. He hopes one day, when Uub's training is complete, to have a real all-out match with him to test their power. Goku and Uub fly off into the distance with whoops of joy.
