Super Moves of Gotenks

EpisodeEp. 258

Gotenks unleashes a barrage of bizarre, self-named attacks against Super Buu inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but none of them deal real damage. After Piccolo's worried expression snaps him out of his antics, Gotenks transforms into a Super Saiyan and debuts the Galactic Donut and the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack.

A Circus of Techniques

The fight inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber takes a strange turn as Gotenks cycles through an absurd lineup of self-invented attacks with ridiculous names. He even pulls out a notecard at one point to remember what comes next. None of these techniques have any real effect on Super Buu, who endures each hit without flinching.

The Chamber's environment shifts to an icy landscape, and Gotenks gets himself frozen in place after one of his wild moves goes sideways. Super Buu taunts him for being weak, which only fuels the fused warrior's competitive fire. Outside the Chamber, the remaining Z Fighters wonder anxiously whether the boys trained enough.

Going Gold Changes Everything

After noticing Piccolo's deeply worried expression, Gotenks drops the act and promises to fight seriously. He powers up and transforms into a Super Saiyan, shocking Piccolo, who did not know fusion warriors could still access the transformation. Hope begins to build that Gotenks might actually have what it takes to save the world.

Super Saiyan Gotenks launches his Galactic Donut, a ring of concentrated energy that wraps around Super Buu and squeezes him tight. Buu muscles his way free, then retaliates with a brutal beating that sends Gotenks crashing through the Chamber.

Ghosts of War

Battered but far from beaten, Gotenks charges up for something entirely new. He spits out a ghostly duplicate of himself: the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. This spectral copy hovers in the air with a mischievous grin, alive with its own personality and ready to detonate on contact.

Piccolo stares in disbelief at the technique, unsure whether to be impressed or horrified by Gotenks' creativity. Super Buu eyes the floating ghost with suspicion, sensing that this peculiar new move might actually pose a genuine threat for the first time in their battle.
