"A Great Reversal" is the five hundredth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1995 #03/04 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

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.

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.

 ==Summary==
-Buu thinks Gohan is getting really weak, which prompts Gohan to fly at him with a punch, though Buu easily dodges it and elbows Gohan into the ground. Gohan fires a blast back up at Buu, but he quickly puts his hands together and slams the blast back toward Gohan. The blast shoots straight through the ground and flies out into space on the other side of the planet. Gohan is still down in the hole, and Buu flies in after him. Buu estimates he has about ten minutes left, and he really wants to make them fun. Dende tells Mister Satan to take the dog and get out of here, but Satan says the champion can't do such a thing. Satan pulls out his 45 caliber and says he'll blast Buu away with this. Dende is speechless...

-Back in the Kaiōshin Realm Goku prepares to teleport away, but Old Kaiōshin tells him to wait. He asks Goku just how he plans on beating Buu. Goku suddenly gets the idea to use Fusion with Gohan. Old Kaiōshin doubts Buu would just stand there and wait for them to do the poses for that, and Goku asks why he had even said to go and beat up Buu in the first place then. Old Kaiōshin takes off his earrings, and tells Goku to put one of these Potara on his left ear. Then have Gohan put the other Potara on his right ear, and they'll fuse. But this is better than Fusion, and the Potara are an ancient treasure of the Kaiōshin. He wants the younger Kaiōshin to test it out using his own Potara with Kibito. Kibito and Kaiōshin each put on a Potara, and, suddenly...

-Gohan suddenly comes crashing out of the ground and lands hard, looking pretty damaged. Dende flies over toward him and quickly heals him, just before Buu comes flying out of the ground himself. Buu prepares to finish off Gohan, until he notices him standing up and fully healed again. Buu notes that Gohan has been restored, but he hasn't powered up much. Buu hits Gohan with a ''kiai'' shockwave, and then fires a blast at Dende. Satan fires his 45 at the blast, and it works! Well, in actuality, we see a pair of hands in a ''Kikōhō'' formation. Tenshinhan has arrived, and says he barely recognizes Son Gohan. Majin Buu has changed as well. Buu says another pitiful small fry has arrived, but a small fry is still a small fry.
+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.
-Kaiōshin and Kibito have now fused, generally looking just like a taller Kaiōshin with long straight hair. Kaiōshin gets excited at his power boost and claims he can fight too, but Old Kaiōshin bursts his bubble. Goku thinks that's awesome and asks how long the fusion lasts. Old Kaiōshin says the potara fusion last forever. Kaiōshin isn't so thrilled now. Goku thinks that that stinks, but there's no way around it. When things are peaceful, he'll have to go to Gohan's school and whatnot. The old man tells him to hurry before Gohan dies, and so Goku prepares to teleport away. Buu has formed a large ball over his head and prepares to kill them all away. Tenshinhan thinks Buu is dimensions ahead of him, as Satan aims his gun to take out Buu...
