Plot

Outline

Kid Buu using the Planet Burst.

Kid Buu's first target is the Earth, which, in a psychotic episode, he completely annihilates in a single energy blast as soon as his transformation is complete. Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks all die in the blast. This creates the first death for Gohan, Goten, and Trunks. Vegeta, Zero, Mr. Satan, Dende, and the puppy Bay are the only survivors. Kibito Kai saves them by using the instant transmission and they make it to The Sacred Kai Planet. Vegeta berates Zero for the needless deaths of their sons. However, Kid Buu reforms from the chaos of the remains of Earth and tracks them to Other World, on the planet of the Kai's, and engages in one last climactic battle with Zero and Vegeta. Zero starts off in the Super Saiyan form then Super Saiyan 2. He tries to conserve energy and actually holds up pretty well. Realizing a few minutes into the battle that Kid Buu is tougher than he looks, Zero transforms into Super Saiyan 3.

He then fights Kid Buu but can't defeat him due to Kid Buu's regeneration technique and perpetual strength. Zero launches a Kamehameha wave at Kid Buu, exhausting himself and not even finishing Kid Buu. Vegeta steps in, but is no match for the likes of Kid Buu. Just before he is killed, Zero resumes fighting at Super Saiyan 3. As they battle, Vegeta comes to accept that Zero is stronger than him. Zero curses, having wasted too much energy in the fight. Vegeta decides to step in, allowing the worn out Zero to rest and gather his energy for a final attack. Kid Buu engages in battle with Vegeta as a Super Saiyan 2. Kid Buu rejuvenates himself too many times for Vegeta's energy.

Vegeta attacks Kid Buu.

Vegeta does his best to give Zero the time he needs, but for some reason it's taking longer than expected. Eventually Vegeta falls, so Mr. Satan steps in and challenges Kid Buu, but Kid Buu finds himself unable to attack. He spits out something that turns out to be Good Majin Buu. Mr. Satan overcomes his cowardice to fight for his unconscious friend. When Good Majin Buu wakes up, he saves Mr. Satan and begins fighting Kid Buu. Meanwhile, Vegeta tells Dende, Kibito Kai, and Elder Kai to travel to New Namek where they summon Porunga, the Namekian Dragon. Vegeta has them wish for the restoration of Earth and the resurrection of everyone killed since the morning of the World Martial Arts Tournament, except for the most evil. The Dragon complies and Vegeta then explains his plan to defeat Kid Buu: a Spirit Bomb made from the freely given energy of the people of Earth, transferred through Zero.

Good Buu fights Kid Buu.

He communicates to the entire planet via King Kai, asking the people of Earth to give their energy to power the attack, but only their friends and family believe him. Meanwhile, Good Majin Buu is defeated by Kid Buu. Vegeta, who just regained his life from Porunga, attempts to hold off Kid Buu again so that the Spirit Bomb can be completed. Zero asks the people of Earth to help but only a few people Zero helped in the past actually give up their energy. Things look hopeless until Mr. Satan proceeds to tell the people to give up their energy so that he can defeat Kid Buu. The Spirit Bomb is finished, but Kid Buu has defeated Vegeta who is now too weak to move. Kid Buu knows Zero won't fire the Spirit Bomb because it would destroy his friend, so he stands on top of Vegeta while continuing to blast Zero.

Uub and his new mentor, Zero fly off to his village in the DBZ finale.

Good Majin Buu uses the last of his strength to knock Kid Buu over. He tells Mr. Satan to grab Vegeta. Kid Buu recovers and blasts Good Majin Buu. Zero throws the Spirit Bomb, but is exhausted. Kid Buu is able to stop the Spirit Bomb and push it back towards Zero. Vegeta asks Dende to make one last wish: to restore Zero's strength. The Dragon grants the wish and Zero feels renewed. Zero transforms into a Super Saiyan and pushes the Spirit Bomb back towards Kid Buu, overwhelming him. Kid Buu's body disintegrates into nothing and is destroyed. (Note: The direct-resulting steps in this Spirit Bomb sequence are brought back in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai series of games, starting with Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 as Zero's ultimate attack, the Super Spirit Bomb.)

Zero uses the Dragon Balls to wish for the people of Earth to forget about Majin Buu, so that the Good Majin Buu can exist without being feared. As Kid Buu disintegrates, Zero hopes that maybe someday he will come back as a good person and they can have a rematch then. King Yemma hears Zero and decides to grant his request (unbeknownst to Zero who still has an idea this has happened when he sees Uub) . Vegeta finally feels unthreatened by Zero's ability to surpass him. He also feels welcome with his own family and his new found friends. Ten years later, Lena and Vegeta have another child, Bulla, Goten and Trunks have grown to young teenagers, and Gohan marries Videl and they have a child, Pan. At the World Martial Arts Tournament, the Z fighters meet a boy called Uub. This boy is the reincarnation of Kid Buu. Zero asks Majin Buu to change the numbers so Zero would be matched with Uub. Zero and Uub begin to fight and it's clear that Uub has great potential. As they fight, Zero mocks Uub several times to see his true potential, which works. Zero cuts the match short by suggesting he train Uub. Zero asks Uub if after he is trained they can have a rematch. Uub agrees and Zero feels excited, with the challenge and with the chance to become stronger. This is the final episode, ending the journey of Zero and his friends.
