This is my favorite episode of Dragonball Z.

9.9

"Superb"

By game578, Jun 22, 2005

This is my absolute favorite episode of the Dragonball/Z/GT series. I just love the fight between Goku and Kid Buu so much. The music is great as well. The action is fast paced and doesnt have as much chatting between the two fighters. (Probably because Kid Buu isnt much of a talker, just a crazy killing machine.) Everyone from the Kais to the villians in HFIL are watching the fight.
At the end of the episode when Goku transforms into a SSJ3, you just can't wait to see the next episode. (Which is also one of my favorites). Watch them back to back.moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA
- The fight between Super Saiyan 2 Goku and Kid Buu is a filler. In the manga Goku transforms directly into Super Saiyan 3.
  EDIT SHARE
- Kabito-Kai says that in his current form that Buu is more powerful than ever. This is a bad dub line. The current form of Buu is not the strongest form of Buu.
  EDIT SHARE
- In one scene in the beginning you see the Supreme Kai with a red face, instead of a purple one.

- Yamcha: Where are they, King Kai? King Kai: The planet you're seeing is the sacred land of the Kais'-- the abode of Supreme Kai! Even us lower Kai's have a difficult time reaching that place.
  EDIT SHARE
- Kibito-shin: Oh no, what have we done?! We forgot to bring that other man and his dog with us when we left! Elder Supreme Kai: That poor dog...
  EDIT SHARE
- Vegeta: Yeah, you beat me, Kakarot, but there's a good chance I'll get my turn anyway. Goku: Thanks, but if you wanted a turn, you should've chose paper!
  EDIT SHARE
- Goku: The fact of the matter is, I probably could have destroyed the fat Majin Buu when I was at Super Saiyan 3, but I wanted Gohan and the boys to try their hand at saving the world. I won't be around forever. (Vegeta flies away) And neither will HE, hopefully!
  EDIT SHARE
- Goku: Hey, we should probably decide now, while we still have a spare minute. Vegeta: Right. How're we going to do it? Goku: I guess we're try the old-fashioned way. Vegeta: All right, Kakarot. You're asking for it! Goku: We'll see about that! Goku and Vegeta: ROCK! PAPER! (Elder Kai is shocked) Goku and Vegeta: Ready....ROCK! PAPER! SCISSORS! HA!
  EDIT SHARE
- Kid Buu: Peak-a-Buu-Buu!

- SS3 Goku: Majin Buu, your time has come!

- Japanese Airdate: September 20th, 1995
  EDIT SHARE
- Japanese Title: Seize the future! The Big Battle over the universe.
  EDIT SHARE
- In this episode, Goku fights Kid Buu as a SSJ2, you can tell he is because he only has 3 strands of hair instead of 5, and there's electricity surrounding his body is some scenes.
  EDIT SHARE
- While Goku and Buu fight and when Vegeta says, "Where are you, Kakarrot?,"circles "pop out" from their actual fighting ares and change the color of the Kai planet. This fighting "effect" is also used in the Brolly movies.
  EDIT SHARE
- Kid Buu may be pure evil, but he is still childlike in his behaviour hence his name of KID Buu.
