Synopsis

Buu comes to God's Palace in order to fight Goten and Trunks. In order to buy time, Piccolo reminds Buu of his promise to wipe out all of the Earthlings, and has him fulfill it. Meanwhile in the Kaiōshin Realm, the Elder Kaiōshin continues Gohan's power-up, while reading manga. Doubting the lackadaisical Elder Kaiōshin, Gohan unthinkingly goes into a rage. At that instant, he realizes that his own power has increased. The Elder Kaiōshin's power-up is the real thing.
