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

Trivia
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
- 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
- In one scene in the beginning you see the Supreme Kai with a red face, instead of a purple one. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Japanese Airdate: September 20th, 1995 Edit
- Japanese Title: Seize the future! The Big Battle over the universe. Edit
- 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

- 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
- 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
- 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
