Summary

This episode is set a decade after Kid Buu's defeat, it starts off with Trunks flying in a Capsule Corp. plane. He's heading over to see if Goten is at home.

Vegeta meeting Goku after 5 years

When he gets there he knocks on the door but no one answers at first. Then an aged Chi Chi answers Trunks and tells him that he is with his dad and suggests that he asks Gohan where they are. Trunks goes to see Gohan and finds the door open. Trunks walks in and takes a look around and is amazed to see all the books that Gohan has. Gohan asks Trunks to help him with the books that he was carrying. Trunks asks Gohan and Videl if they know were Goten is. Gohan said he's out training with Goku and that his parents were heading up go see them.

Next we see Goten and Goku are fighting. They take a break after they see that Vegeta and a really aged Bulma has come to see them. Bulma's mad at Goku because it's been 5 years since anyone has seen Goku, and all Goku could say was that he's been training. Vegeta asks Goku if it's true that he's entering the tournament this year and Goku said yes, because someone powerful enough to beat him has entered the tournament. He says that this mystery fighter is a human, not an alien.

Then Goku says that Pan, his granddaughter, will fight in the tournament along with Goten and himself. Vegeta decides to fight in the tournament too, and says that Trunks is going to do the same.

So the next day everyone is walking to the stadium to find some seats. Pan wants to go play so she and Goku go play some games. Then Goku takes Pan to see her other grandfather, Mr. Satan, who is talking with Majin Buu. When he learns that Goku and the others are entering the tournament, he is worried that he won't win, but Goku assures him that if any of them make it to the finals, they will let him win.
