Goku's Next Journey

From Dragon Ball Wiki, the ''Dragon Ball'' encyclopedia

This is the final episode of Dragon Ball Z, and the 16th Episode in the Kid Buu saga. The original Japanese title is "Motto Tsuyoku!! Goku no Yume wa Chodekkee". The episode first aired on January 31, 1996.

[edit] Recap

After Goku insults Uub's family, Uub looses himself to rage and attacks Goku. After a surprisingly equal battle, Goku is convinced that Uub is the reincarnation of Kid Buu of whom he'd destroyed ten years earlier. After realizing that Uub is not skilled in battle that uses ki energy, Goku reveales that his intentions were to simply get Uub to reveal his power through rage. After revealing his intentions to train Uub to be the Earth's next great defender, Goku says goodbye to his family and friends to train Uub. Unknown to Goku, Vegeta mentions to himself that he knew Goku's intentions were really to get stronger and train Uub to be his equal. Meanwhile, Vegeta's suspicions are confirmed when Goku reveals to Uub that his real intention was for them both to get stronger.

The series ends with Goku taking off with Uub.

[edit] Filler flaws

When Goku says goodbye to his friends and family, Goku lands on the ground to say goodbye to Goten, Trunks, Pan and Vegeta. By doing this, Goku by default, lost his match with Uub because he touched the outside of the ring. This is not mentioned by the tournament announcer, who moments later, yells a question after Goku, asking him if him and Uub were going to finish their match.

Goku did not specifically say goodbye to those characters in the manga.

[edit] Trivia

• Vegeta mentioned that the next battle between him and Goku, they're going to need a whole planet to fight on, foreshadowing the events of the Baby Saga where Goku and Vegeta actually do fight each other on and around Planet Tuffle (Although Vegeta was technically unaware of what was happening, as Baby was in full possession of him.).
