DBZ Episode 256

"Buu demands to fight Gotenks, but Piccolo knows that the boys aren't ready. To buy time, he tells Buu that he can spend a day killing the rest of the people on earth. Buu starts walking around the edge of the lookout, and Piccolo uses this time to tell Krillin to wake up the boys and get them into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train. Buu completes his walk, and raises up his arm. Millions of energy blasts start flying out of his hand down to earth. After the Human Extiction Attack is finished, only Hercule, the dog, Tien, and Chiaotzu remain, as well as the fighters on the lookout. Piccolo asks for Super Buu to wait for one hour, and Videl agrees. Buu complies, because Videl is the daughter of Hercule." cannot be used as a page name in this wiki.

Summary

This episode begins with Super Buu arriving at the lookout, he yells at the Z Fighters to produce the challenger. Super Buu explains that he was promised a good fight and now he was here for it. Piccolo tells him that the promise was made for two days, and that they still had one, but Super Buu doesn't care. Desperate, Piccolo tells Super Buu he could destroy all the Earthlings while waiting for the battle. Super Buu rules out this possibility by destroying almost all of the worlds population in one blast. Piccolo gives in and says he can have Gotenks ready in an hour, Super Buu agrees to wait. While Super Buu isn't looking Piccolo asks Krillin to take Goten and Trunks to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train.

Trivia

• It is highly possible that some characters like Captain Ginyu, Mercenary Tao, Dr. Brief, Mrs. Brief, Erasa, Sharpner, Idasa, Ikose, Mr. Shu, and Android 17 were killed in this episode when Super Buu used his Genocide Attack. This is suggested when Goku and Supreme Kai talk about the incident, saying "Buu killed them all". If any of them managed to survive (as Hercule, Bee, Tien, and Chiaotzu had), they would eventually be killed in Episode 261, Evil Kid Buu, when Kid Buu blows up the Earth.
• Super Buu talks as if he is the original Majin Buu in this episode. He says that Goku told him that two strong warriors wanted to fight him.
