"A Trap" is the four hundred and ninety-ninth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1995 #02 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Buu lands and smirks, as Gohan thinks nothing seems to have changed. Trunks thinks Buu will just run away again. Buu looks over and yells that he wants to fight the youngsters again. Gohan refuses, saying he is Buu's opponent, but Buu insists that he wants to settle the score with them before fighting Gohan. Gohan wonders why, but Buu ignores him and accuses the boys of being too scared. Trunks and Goten each say that they're not, and Piccolo thinks something weird is going on. Trunks tells Piccolo that Buu is too stupid to have any sort of plan... The two then quickly perform Fusion. Gotenks starts off in his Super Saiyan 3 form, calling himself Super Gotenks, the death god of justice. Buu thinks to himself, "With the youngster's power... and that Piccolo guy's brains..." Gotenks flies over next to Gohan, and him to let him fight. Buu oozes a little bit of his back off into two blobs, and the blobs slide across the ground unnoticed.

As Gotenks prepares to fight, one blob envelops him, while the other blob takes Piccolo. With a flick of his finger, Buu brings the two blobs back to him. As he absorbs them into his body, he begins to transform. Goku wants Gohan to hurry and kill him now, but Buu's transformation is over before Gohan can react. Buu lets out a sigh and looks down at Gohan with a devilish grin. His forelock is now elongated, extending down to his knees, similar to that of a Super Saiyan 3's hair, and he is wearing Gotenks' vest. Buu thinks aloud that this is truly the birth of the strongest majin. Gohan can't believe this, but Buu says it's all Gohan's fault for getting stronger. He felt Gohan's existence from far away, and thought that he might be stronger, so he started planning. His suspicions were confirmed when they fought, which was when he realized he'd be the strongest if he absorbed Super Gotenks. But, since his power had a time limit, Buu decided to wait until the next chance. Gohan says Buu's stupidity still hasn't changed, as it would've been smarter to just absorb him. Buu realizes Gohan doesn't get it. "What would be the point of being the strongest if there's no one to fight? Didn't the previous Majin Buu say it? That I would kill you, for certain? That is my greatest motivation..." Gohan smiles, saying he gets it now.

 ==Summary==
-Buu wants to make this fight quick, because of Super Gotenks' time limit. Gohan thinks Buu was right to absorb Piccolo as well. Gohan kicks at Buu, but Buu catches his leg. Gohan tries with the other leg, but Buu grabs that as well, and Gohan is just hanging there. Gohan shoots a blast with his hand, but Buu leans his head back and dodges it. From there, Buu sends his forelock up between his own legs, so that it grabs Gohan around the neck. He then drags Gohan between his legs, so that Gohan and Buu are now back to back. Buu then faces backwards and punches Gohan off into the distance, followed by a huge blast, but Gohan just barely manages to jump out of the way.

-Buu flies over to Gohan, and taunts him, which angers Gohan. Gohan flies at Buu with a kick, but Buu dodges it by leaning back. He leans so far back that he does a complete somersault, kicking Gohan up into the air. Buu then fires Gotenks' Rapid-Fire Super Donut, tying Gohan up, and Buu laughs, asking what if feels like to be done in by a friend's technique. In the Kaiōshin Realm, Goku thinks Gohan will be killed for sure. Old Kaiōshin says he hadn't calculated this would happen, and tells Son Goku to go help. Goku says he can't go back to the living world anymore. Old Kaiōshin realizes this, and says he'll give his own life so that Goku can live. Kibito protests giving his life to a mortal, but the old man says Majin Buu will certainly come here otherwise. Kaiōshin volunteers instead, but Old Kaiōshin says he's still young, while he only has about a thousand years left.

His forelock is now elongated, extending down to his knees, similar to that of a Super Saiyan 3's hair, and he is wearing Gotenks' vest. Buu thinks aloud that this is truly the birth of the strongest ''majin''. Gohan can't believe this, but Buu says it's all Gohan's fault for getting stronger. He felt Gohan's existence from far away, and thought that he might be stronger, so he started planning. His suspicions were confirmed when they fought, which was when he realized he'd be the strongest if he absorbed Super Gotenks.

-Buu prepares to use another of their techniques, the ''Kamehameha'', and Gohan breaks free of the donuts just in time to dodge it. Buu is annoyed at his persistence. Meanwhile, back in the afterlife, Enma-''daiō'' comments that he had left this particular soul alone just in case something like this were to happen, and since it has, he's gone and even given him a body again. Enma-''daiō'' instructs him to go to Earth and help, and he'll have Uranai Baba take him there. Baba understands. Vegeta smirks, thinking it's funny they'd ask a villain like him to help, even if he only provides a faint hope of defeating Majin Buu.
-Old Kaiōshin says farewell, and then keels over. Goku's halo disappears, and he promises not to waste this life. Old Kaiōshin suddenly sits up again, sporting a halo, saying to hurry so that he hasn't died in vain. Meanwhile, Buu continues mocking Gohan's persistence to live.
