Buu begins waiting an hour

Chi-Chi tries to make an attack on Super Buu as she believes that she has already lost Gohan, but Piccolo puts a stop to it. Meanwhile, Super Buu destroys almost all of the Earth's population in one blast. On the Sacred World of the Kais, Goku asks Supreme Kai what is happening on Earth and he tells Goku that Buu has eliminated Earth's inhabitants. Piccolo gives in and says he can have Gotenks ready in an hour after he promises to Earth's population that they will be revived with the Dragon Balls. At first, Super Buu is not willing to comply, but then Videl taunts him asking if he is actually scared. Before Super Buu can kill her, Piccolo reveals the identity of Videl's father, and Super Buu agrees to wait. Piccolo tells him to wait an hour, but Super Buu does not know what is an hour. Piccolo then conjures an hourglass and lets Super Buu figure out the rest.

Differences from the manga[]

  • Super Buu touching down on the Lookout isn't depicted in the anime as the actual beginning of the episode, not counting the recap, still shows him hovering just above it.
  • In the manga, Piccolo tells Krillin to get Goten and Trunks and take them to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber after Piccolo creates the Hour Glass for Super Buu, and he begins waiting. In the anime, he tells Krillin this whilst Super Buu is walking around the Lookout looking at the humans below.
  • Chi-Chi going to attack Super Buu with a broom for killing Gohan but being stopped by Piccolo is exclusive to the anime.
