	Gotenks flies at ~~Buu~~, headbutting him straight through the temple's main structure and out into mid-air, surprising ~~Buu~~. Gotenks comes at him again and ~~Buu~~ just barely manages to dodge a punch, and then grabs Gotenks' fist and slings him around. He tosses Gotenks through the temple floor, knocking off a big chunk of it. ~~Buu~~ screams out with rage, as Gotenks laughs at how mad he is and Piccolo laments over the temple's destruction. ~~Buu~~ curls himself up into a ball, and comes flying toward them. Gotenks dodges, and so ~~Buu~~ shoots straight through the temple floor out into the air again. ~~Buu~~ continues doing this, until the temple is completely destroyed, aside from the floor below them. Gotenks prepares to counter, but ~~Buu~~ busts up their remaining floor from underneath as he does his poses. Piccolo yells at Gotenks to just do it without posing. Gotenks disappointedly obeys and fires his Rapid-Fire Super ~~Donut~~ attack at ~~Buu~~.
