Summary

"At last, Majin Buu has vanished from existence... That is, he has literally vanished from existence completely, with not a single cell remaining..." The Namekians and Kaiōshin all celebrate. On Earth, Piccolo informs Gohan and the boys that Buu's ki is completely gone. Back in the Kaiōshin Realm, Goku is sitting down taking a breather, and Satan confirms that it's really all over. Satan informs everyone on Earth that the dreaded Majin Buu has just died, and there is nothing left to worry about. Everyone chants "Satan", and the people at God's Temple all dance for joy, except for Videl, who is displeased with her father.

Dende, the puppy, and the Kaiōshin return to their world, and Dende rushes over to heal Goku, but he says Vegeta needs healing first. Satan's reunion with his puppy is shortened when the puppy runs off toward something. He's found the original Buu in some rubble. Satan begs Dende to heal him, but Vegeta doesn't like that idea at all, preparing to finish him off. Satan begs him not to, saying he's really not a bad guy. Vegeta doesn't think he's worth the risk, and it's best to just kill him now. Satan begs Vegeta to let him take responsibility for Buu, and he'll take Buu in himself. Vegeta thinks Satan's powerless to do anything. Goku asks Dende to go ahead and heal Buu, and tells Vegeta that this Buu and Satan both helped in the battle. On the off chance that something does go wrong, Goku will be training to be stronger anyway.

Kaiōshin thinks it might not be good for Buu to live on Earth, because of all the terror he'd caused the Earthlings. Goku says they'll just keep Buu from going outside for six months, and when the Dragon Balls revive, they'll ask Shenlong to erase Buu from everyone's memory. Vegeta gets angry and says he doesn't care what they do anyway, and Satan is very happy.

Once Buu is healed, Goku thinks they should all go back to Earth, mostly because he wants to eat and sleep a lot. And so, Kaiōshin drops them all off at God's Temple. Goku, Vegeta, and Dende show themselves first, and the everyone all rushes over to happily greet them. Videl spots Satan and the puppy, but then everyone notices Buu beside him and freaks out. Goku tries to reassure everyone it's okay. As Earth resumes its peaceful existence with the evil Buu destroyed, our heroes rejoice.

The world has regarded Mister Satan as an "ultra super hero". Six months later, memories of Buu were erased from everyone's mind, except for those who were involved. But, the people still knew Satan had saved them from something horrendous. And then another ten years has passed...

Trunks, now a teenager, is flying along in a capsule plane. He think flying like this is no fun, and climbs out of the cockpit, putting the plane in a capsule, and then flies on his own. He arrives at a house, knocks on the door, and Gohan answers. Trunks asks where Goten is, and Gohan says he's in the backyard training with their dad and the others. Vegeta and Bulma are there too, and Trunks is surprised his parents have also come.
