Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks and Super Buu wage an all-out war across the Lookout, destroying the palace in the process. Gotenks demonstrates devastating power with techniques like the Brain Crush Hammer and the Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball, but Super Buu keeps regenerating from every hit. The Lookout crumbles beneath them.
The battle between Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks and Super Buu tears across the Lookout with devastating force. Every exchange of blows sends shockwaves through the ancient palace, crumbling its walls and shattering its floors. Super Buu grabs Gotenks and hurls him all the way down to the Earth's surface, and the fight continues in the barren wasteland below.
Gotenks unleashes a variety of creative, if strangely named, techniques, including the Brain Crush Hammer, a concentrated blast powerful enough to slice through nearly anything. Both fighters deal and absorb tremendous punishment as they battle their way back up toward the Lookout.
On the Sacred World of the Kai, Goku and Supreme Kai observe the fight through the Crystal Ball, genuinely impressed by the raw power Gotenks displays as a Super Saiyan 3. Meanwhile, Mr. Satan stumbles upon a deserted city on Earth, its buildings destroyed and every inhabitant gone. He scavenges a supermarket for food, feeding both himself and Bee while lost in memories of his brief friendship with the original Majin Buu.

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....
Back on the Lookout, Super Buu morphs his body into a sphere shape and charges through what remains of the palace, trying to crush Gotenks under his rolling mass. Gotenks powers up for his most elaborate technique yet: the Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball. He enlists a reluctant Piccolo to help spike the ball-shaped Buu back and forth between them.
The combination attack appears to finish Super Buu off, but the celebration is premature. Buu reforms once again, proving that even the most creative and powerful assaults cannot keep this monster down for long. The Lookout lies in ruins around them as the battle rages on.
