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.
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.
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.

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....

Dragon Ball handed us a protagonist with no history and the internet named him John Dragon Ball. So we built him somebody to talk to....
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.
