==Summary==
Gotenks resumes his fight against Super Buu on The Lookout but as a Super Saiyan 3, damaging the palace in the process. After a barrage of attacks, Super Buu grabs a hold of Gotenks and throws all the way down to the ground where Gotenks displays a wide variety of bizarre and childish techniques, such as the Brain Crush Hammer, a powerful blast that can slice through anything. After performing a number of attacks on each side, Super Buu grabs Gotenks and blasts him back upwards to The Lookout.
Meanwhile, Goku and the Kaioshin continue to watch the battle unfold through the Crystal Ball, impressed by Gotenks display of power. On another part of Earth, a tired Mr. Satan sees a city and runs to it in delight. As he turns up at the city, it has been completely destroyed and has no populace. Mr. Satan then go into a Supermarket and while feeding both himself and Bee he has a flashback when he was playing with Majin Buu and his puppy.
Back on The Lookout, Super Buu forms into a sphere shape and destroys what the remainder of the Lookout whilst attempting to hit Gotenks. Gotenks then powers up for his newest technique, the Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball.
