SummaryEdit

Gohan, Trunks, Goten and Piccolo sense that Kid Buu is dead. Mr. Satan informs everybody on Earth that Kid Buu is gone for good. Everybody cheers. Everybody on Kami's Lookout is happy. Then, Old Kai, Kibito Kai and Dende arrive on the Sacred World of the Kais to pick up Goku and the gang. Then Dende heals Vegeta and Goku.

They are about to leave when Bee spots fat Majin Buu. Mr. Satan asks everyone whether they could take fat Majin Buu to Earth, a suggestion which Vegeta angrily rebuffs. He says that fat Majin Buu might get angry again and produce another Evil Buu, and that the world would again be put into danger. Mr. Satan begs Vegeta and says that he would take care of Majin Buu if he comes to Earth. Vegeta threatens to kill Mr. Satan along with Majin Buu if he would not listen to Vegeta. Goku tells Vegeta to stop, and reminds Vegeta that if it were not for fat Majin Buu saving Vegeta and Mr. Satan carrying Vegeta away from the Spirit Bomb, the whole Earth would be destroyed (again) by now. Vegeta then grudgingly agrees. Goku then comments that they would use the dragon balls to erase everyone's memories of Majin Buu (except for the Z Fighters' and their friends') so that no one would be scared of him.

Then, they all are transported back to the lookout. When Goku arrives, Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Goten run towards him. When Vegeta comes, Bulma and Trunks go to him. Videl is happy to see Mr. Satan, her dad, but everybody is scared out of their wits to see Majin Buu. Trunks prepares to launch an attack, but Vegeta stops him and says that Majin Buu is their 'guest'. Goku then apologizes to everyone for being gone for so long, and says that he is alive again because Old Kai brought him back to life. Overjoyed by hearing this, Chi-Chi asks if this means that she, Goku, Gohan, and Goten can live as a family of four, and when Goku says yes, she breaks down in tears and hugs Goku, who then comforts her and tells Chi-Chi that he loves her.

Then as planned, six months later Shenron is summoned and Goku wishes that the memory of Majin Buu be vanished from the minds of everybody on Earth. Now Majin Buu is happy and free to roam around the city. He wants ice cream, but for that he needs money. He almost has an angry outburst when he learns that he is unable to buy his tasty treat, but manages to stop himself in time when remembering that Mr. Satan warned him to never get angry, no matter what. He then meets a big person named Pit Bull Pete, who thinks he is the strongest and challenges anyone willing to give him a starting fee. Pit Bull Pete says he will give a person even more money than they gave if they can win against him. Buu does so easily and gets the money. He eagerly buys out the entire ice cream shop and sits down on a bench. He then meets Bulma, who requests his help with shopping, because Vegeta and Trunks ran off due to the shopping taking over an hour. While they are at the jewelry store, Majin Buu tries eating the diamonds (to which he spits out in disgust), much to Bulma's irritation. Pit Bull Pete and his manager try and rob the store, but freak out when they see Buu. Pete shoots Buu, but Buu simply pops the diamond back out and is unaffected. Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyagirl (Videl) arrive, but before they can do anything, the two criminals turn themselves in out of fear for Buu.

At Mount Paozu, Goku, Goten, and Trunks, are playing in a hot tub outside, while Chi-Chi is cooking smelly cheese rice in the house. To try and get revenge on Goku for dunking them, Goten and Trunks perform the Fusion Dance, which makes Goku destroy the tub and transform into a Super Saiyan. Goku and Gotenks are then exposed totally nude in the cold air, Goku standing with his naked buttocks shown to his friends at the back, and Gotenks sitting on the grass sniffing the smelly cheese rice from inside the house. This makes everyone laugh and Chi-Chi was so mad that she says she will give Gotenks a spank, something Goku warned them about, with Goku also suggesting that they remain fused so they would not have to endure a spank each. At the end of the episode, Gotenks can be seen running around Goku while he is giggling away naked, and Chi-Chi is chasing Gotenks around for his spank while the rest of the crowd is laughing in shame. In the very last scene, the narrator comments that "almost everyone" is having a good time, to which the camera focuses on Vegeta, scowling, leaning with his back on a tree, and saying "What are you looking at?"

TriviaEdit

• In the beginning of the episode, Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks are back on the cliff they were revived on, despite having journeyed to Kami's Lookout in the previous episode.
• In the original Japanese version, Goku says that Dai Kaio-sama (which would be Grand Kai) gave his life to revive him, but it was actually the Elder Kai who did.
• This is the first time in the Dragon Ball Z series that Goku tells Chi-Chi that he loves her onscreen (it is obvious he did before).
• When everyone on the lookout is overjoyed at Goku defeating Kid Buu, Bulma saying "Vegeta I love you" followed by Yamcha saying "Yeah I bet you do!" can be heard.
• When Mr. Satan wants Majin Buu to be healed, Vegeta disagreed with it because of the possible dangers. Mr. Satan says that Buu wouldn't have produced Super Buu if Van Zant never shot Bee (Buu produced Super Buu even after this, after he shot Mr. Satan). Vegeta opposed to the idea of healing Majin Buu could be because of the Androids and Cell Sagas when Vegeta let Androids 16, 17 and 18 get activated and allowed Cell to reach his final form.
  • It is shown in this episode that Vegeta is concerned about the well being of Earth.
• Mr. Satan says Buu went crazy when his puppy was shot. In actuality, Buu went mad when Mr. Satan was shot. However, Mr. Satan could have meant that the puppy being shot was what started his madness.
• The wish that Goku made the memories of Majin Buu erased later spawned Eis Shenron in Dragon Ball GT.
• The scene where Majin Buu fights Pit Bull Pete for some money is reminiscent of the episode "A Trip to the City", in which Goku (as a kid) enters a fighting contest on the street to win some money so he can find Bulma. Also, neither of the two had to pay an entrance fee to fight the champion. In Goku's case the fighter let him enter for free because he was a kid, and in Buu's case a man in the crowd paid for Buu because he wanted to see a fight. Also they both gave away all of the money instead of just a bit of it (due to the both not knowing much about money at the time).
• Majin Buu flicking a bullet at Pete (but missing him) is reminiscent of Raditz doing the same to a farmer in the first episode of Dragon Ball Z.
• Even though Trunks and Goten use the Fusion Dance to form Gotenks, Gotenks is not wearing the clothes that the Fusion Dance usually creates. This could be due to that fact that neither Trunks nor Goten were wearing any clothes.
• Vegeta breaks the fourth wall at the end of the episode. When he is standing behind the tree by Goku's house, he says "What are you looking at?"
