	Goku suddenly stops and asks if they should be Super Saiyan ~~first~~. ~~Old~~ Kaiōshin says there's no point, they can do it afterwards. Besides, the stress would be too much for their body and shorten their lifespan. You can only use the Potara once in your life, though. Goku asks if him if he has ever used them. He explains that an ugly old witch once took one to try to be a pretty gal, and this is why he's able to do these mysterious things. Kaiōshin interrupts them, saying there's no time for talking. Goku agrees, and quickly teleports away.		[[Goku]] suddenly stops and asks if they should be [[Super Saiyan]] before fusing. [[Elder Kaiōshin]] says there is no point, they can do it afterwards. Besides, the stress would be too much for their body and shorten their lifespan. You can only use the [[Potara]] once in your life, though. Goku asks if him if he has ever used them. He explains that an ugly [[Old Witch\|old witch]] once took one of his to try to be a pretty gal, and this is why he is able to do these mysterious things. [[Kibitoshin\|Kaiōshin]] interrupts them, saying there is no time for talking. Goku agrees, and quickly [[Teleportation\|teleports]] away.

	~~Buu~~ prepares to launch his attack, while Gohan, Tenshinhan, and Dende ~~are~~ all watch on in shock. Satan on the other hand closes his eyes and fires his gun, apologizing to Majin ~~Buu~~. Goku suddenly appears behind ~~Buu~~, and throws a ''Kienzan'', cutting ~~Buu~~ in half and slicing off the end of his forelock. Gohan wonders how his father was able to come back to the living world. Satan opens his eyes, and thinks he's cut ~~Buu~~'s body all up with that shot. ~~Buu~~'s upper body recognizes Goku as the guy with all the weird transformations. ~~Buu~~ says it's no use if he's come to help. Goku grins and very confidently tells ~~Buu~~ he's wrong, because he has an incredible power up item this time. ~~Buu~~'s lower body, which landed on the ground behind Tenshinhan, ~~stand~~ back up and ~~kick~~ Tenshinhan hard, knocking him out. ~~Buu~~'s lower and upper body reunite, and ~~Buu~~ smugly comments that while that guy seemed like quite an expert, he was still just a small fry that was taken out with a mere kick. The rest of them are all small fries too. Goku asks why he'd bother restoring himself if that was really the case.		[[Boo]] prepares to launch his attack, while [[Gohan]], [[Tenshinhan]], and [[Dende]] all watch on in shock. [[Mister Satan\|Satan]] on the other hand closes his eyes and fires his gun, apologizing to Majin Boo. Goku suddenly appears behind Boo, and throws a ''[[Kienzan]]'', cutting Boo in half and slicing off the end of his forelock. Gohan wonders how his father was able to come back to the living world. Satan opens his eyes, and thinks he has cut Boo's body all up with that shot. Boo's upper body recognizes Goku as the guy with all the weird transformations. Boo says it is no use if he has come to help. Goku grins and very confidently tells Boo he is wrong, because he has an incredible power-up item this time. Boo's lower body, which landed on the ground behind Tenshinhan, stands back up and kicks Tenshinhan hard, knocking him out. Boo's lower and upper body reunite, and Boo smugly comments that while that guy seemed like quite an expert, he was still just a small fry that was taken out with a mere kick. The rest of them are all small fries too. Goku asks why he would bother restoring himself if that was really the case.

	~~Buu~~ thinks Goku must really want to die. Goku yells over to Gohan and tosses the other Potara at him, but Gohan ~~wasn't~~ paying attention and misses it. The earring falls in-between some nearby rocks and Goku tells him to hurry and find it, then put it on his right ear so they can fuse and defeat ~~Buu~~. However, ~~Buu~~ thinks that would still be useless, but he ~~won't~~ allow them to fuse anyway. First he~~'ll~~ kill Goku, but Goku begs him to wait as Gohan searches through the rocks. ~~Buu~~ rushes at Goku, and so he becomes Super Saiyan 3 and prepares to fight. ~~Buu~~ then suddenly stops mid-air, just as Gohan finds the Potara. ~~Buu~~ begins transforming again, until he starts to resemble Piccolo. Goku laughs, thinking it's because Piccolo is now the strongest one inside ~~Buu~~, since the youngsters have defused. Goku powers down, disappointed that now Gohan alone can defeat ~~Buu~~ like this.		Boo thinks Goku must really want to die.

	~~Buu~~ smirks and says he had an insurance plan, just in case ~~of this~~. Goku wonders what he means, and ~~Buu~~ points to his forelock that he ~~didn't~~ bother to restore. The severed piece down on the ground then turns into a blob and suddenly envelops Gohan. The Potara drops to the ground, and Goku flies over and grabs it as ~~Buu~~ begins to transform again. The Kaiōshin think it's all over now, as ~~Buu~~ is now wearing Gohan's ''dōgi''. Goku frantically starts looking around. "I was gonna fuse with Gohan... There ain't no way around it!! Who else could I fuse with... Tenshinhan's down... Dende ain't a fighter... Mi-Mister Satan...?!"		Boo smirks and says he had an insurance plan, just in case.

Buu laughs, saying there’s no one left for him to fuse with, and Goku realizes his only choice is Mister Satan.

Buu feels another large power, but still doubts they’d even be much of an adversary fused. Goku says Buu is getting closer, and begs Vegeta to put on the Potara. But Vegeta yells at Goku for holding back and not using Super Saiyan 3 during their fight. Goku insists that that transformation was time-limited, but then gets angry himself and asks Vegeta if he also knows that Buu killed everyone, including Bulma, and then Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks were all absorbed. Vegeta hesitates as Buu gets very close, but then finally asks for the Potara. Goku tosses it to him and he starts putting it on his right ear. Buu spots the two and prepares to throw a ''ki'' attack at them. Vegeta just about has the earring on and Goku decides to mention that they’ll be permanently fused. "Da... Dammit..!!!" But Vegeta has it on, and Goku thanks him. The two fly at each each, and then there’s a large flash of light... A shocked Buu stops dead in his tracks, still holding his ''ki'' attack, as a new warrior greets him!
