Summary[]
Bibidi and Buu before attacking the planet of the Kais
The newly transformed Kid Buu stands on the edge of a cliff, glaring out at the world. Mr. Satan says he looks like a child; he contemplates attacking, but Dende advises him not to. The Dragon Team are not sure whether Super Buu is stronger or weaker from the transformation. The unconscious fighters have not come to yet and Goku and Vegeta wonder why.
Meanwhile, on the Sacred World of the Kai, Old Kai regards Buu's new form with some confusion, and wonders if this is the true form of Majin Buu. Kibito Kai says that it is, and reveals Buu's history to his predecessor:
Vegeta stands over Trunks
- "Five million years ago, the universe was at a time of peace, watched over by the Grand Supreme Kai and his four subordinates, the Supreme Kais of the West, North, South, and East. However, the peace was shattered by Majin Buu, created by the evil wizard Bibidi as a weapon of ultimate destruction. Despite barely being able to even control his monster, Bibidi sent Buu to destroy numerous worlds, before eventually bringing him into battle against the Supreme Kais."
- The West Supreme Kai and North Supreme Kai were no match for Majin Buu, who destroyed them with ease. The South Supreme Kai put up a better fight, actually managing to rip off one of Buu's arms, but the evil creature regenerated the limb and defeated him. The South Supreme Kai would become the first victim of Buu's Absorption technique, which resulted in the huge, strong form shown during the final transformation on Earth.
- More powerful than ever, Buu set his sights on the East Supreme Kai, who stood no chance against Bibidi's monster. Before Buu could finish the job, the Grand Supreme Kai intervened, blasting Buu to smithereens. Of course, Buu regenerated and promptly absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai, but the absorption transformed Buu into a fat, jovial form. Soon after, Bibidi sealed Buu away, and the East Supreme Kai destroyed the sorcerer, seemingly ending the threat of Buu for good. Until recently...
Kid Buu prepares his Planet Burst
Old Kai realizes that the Grand Supreme Kai was able to counter Buu's malevolence with his kind soul, reducing the monster's power and creating the innocent, childish personality seen in his initial state. Kibito Kai confirms this and explains that with all of the foreign influences removed from his body, Buu has returned to his original state: relentless, insane, and pure evil. Peering into the crystal ball, Old Kai tells Kibito Kai to go to Earth with the power of his earrings; Goku and Vegeta are in serious trouble. On Earth, Kid Buu powers up with a mighty screech, causing mass destruction with his voice alone. He unleashes a Calamity Blaster towards the Earth, but Vegeta deflects it with his Final Burst Cannon and berates Buu for not even trying to fight them first. Goku realizes that Kid Buu intends to destroy the planet, relying on his regenerative ability to survive the blast. Vegeta then demands that, whether he tries to destroy the planet first or not, he should at least try to fight them first while denouncing him as a coward. Kid Buu then looks at them and mouths something at Vegeta, causing him to call Kid Buu a "gifted speaker" with some irony.
Kid Buu throws his Planet Burst
Kid Buu then confirms Goku's earlier claim by charging up another attack, strong enough to destroy the planet ten times over. Realizing that they can't stop the blast, Goku, after a failed attempt at trying to reason with Buu, tells Vegeta to grab their sons and Piccolo; Goku will use Instant Transmission to get them all to safety and Vegeta agrees. As they fly and before they can grab their sons and Piccolo, Goku only picks up Mr. Satan and Dende, but Kid Buu's attack is already bearing down on them. Out of time, Goku tries to do Instant Transmission, but finds that he cannot concentrate. Suddenly, Kibito Kai appears, grabs Goku's hand, grabs Vegeta by the back of his sleeveless jumpsuit, and teleports the group away to the Sacred World of the Kais. Meanwhile, the Earth explodes, taking Piccolo and the boys with it.
On the Sacred World of the Kais, Old Kai becomes glad that everybody is alright, but Vegeta is angry that Goku saved Dende and Mr. Satan and not their sons as he angrily berates him for failing to save their sons and Piccolo. Meanwhile, Kid Buu begins to reform amongst the rubble of the Earth.

Differences from the manga[]
- The flashback sequence of Kid Buu fighting against the Supreme Kais was only shown in the anime. In the manga, there were just a few images showing the appearance of the South and Grand Supreme Kais and Majin Buu straight after transforming into Innocent Buu.
- King Kai, Moori, and the Namekians reacting to the Earth being destroyed is exclusive to the anime.
Trivia[]
- Mr. Satan is now one of only two humans remaining alive (the other being Fortuneteller Baba, as Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu were killed when Buu blew up the Earth). This is later noted by Kibito Kai in "Old Buu Emerges".
- Bee is now the only animal native to Earth remaining alive, as Korin was killed by Buu when he blew up the Earth.
- Though the entire Majin Buu arc received little redubbing in the Remastered Box Sets, this episode has an extra line in the remastered version: while attempting to use Instant Transmission to escape from the dying Earth, Goku says that he cannot concentrate, explaining why it took him so long that Kibito Kai had to step in.
- When Videl, Chi-Chi, and Bulma are shown in Heaven just as Earth is destroyed, Videl says, "Her secret was the teddy bear underwear!", referring to the events of Great Saiyaman Saga filler episode "Gohan's First Date".
- This episode marks the second time Piccolo dies in the Dragon Ball manga and anime series; he was previously killed by Nappa in "Goku's Arrival".
- This episode marks the first time Gohan, Goten, and Trunks die in the Dragon Ball manga and anime series.
- A number of other recurring characters are killed in the episode by nature of the planet's destruction, but do not make a physical appearance in the actual episode.
- This episode marks the second time Tien dies in the Dragon Ball manga and anime series; he was previously killed by Nappa in "Sacrifice".
- This episode marks the third time Chiaotzu dies in the Dragon Ball manga and anime series; he was previously killed by King Piccolo in "King Piccolo's Wish" and self-destructed in an attempt to defeat Nappa in "The Power of Nappa".
- Captain Ginyu is most likely killed in Earth's explosion as well having likely survived the Human Extinction Attack due to being a frog.
- Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Tien, Chiaotzu, Korin, Yajirobe, and 17 are later revived in "Earth Reborn".
- Although the Grand Supreme Kai is known by that title in the Funimation dub, he is still called Daikaioh in some versions/releases of the dub.
- Promotions for Cooler's appearance in Budokai mistakenly refer to this episode as his first appearance.[1]
