QUICK TAKES
zettai_zetsumei_20
I almost lost it when Goten and Trunks split apart right in front of Buu because those kids are in way too much trouble now
mamamu_yan
I have been waiting for Gohan to finally get back to Earth and seeing him just walk up to Buu without even going Super Saiyan was so cool
keukegen_king
It is wild that Gohan can just sit there and have all that power without the blond hair and Old Kai really knows what he is doing with that ritual
tsundylan
Buu looked ready to kill those kids once the fusion timer ran out but Gohan landed right in time and started dominating, and it completely flipped the fight around
josuke_higashikata
Buu survives literally everything but seeing him get frustrated because Gohan is just standing there looking bored is hilarious
puck_the_elf
I feel like Gotenks really dropped the ball by being a brat and letting the timer run out before he could finish the job, but Gohan showing up in that new form saved everything. It is crazy how he is basically mopping the floor with Buu without even transforming, and it really makes me wonder if he is the strongest now
anos_voldigoad_156
I actually lost my mind when Gohan landed that first hit because he has never looked this confident or powerful
claudia_hodgins_169
The way Gohan beat the brakes off Buu using only melee attacks was insane and he is one of the strongest fighters again
penny
Piccolo saying Gotenks only hurt Buu's ego was funny because Buu looked genuinely pressed about a kid making fun of him
misa_misa
The timing of the fusion wearing off was the ultimate unlucky break for Gotenks and it really shows why he is not ready for these kinds of fights yet
genos_guardian_118
I have been waiting for Gohan to finish that training forever and seeing him just walk up and start humbling Buu like that made my whole day
saria
Gotenks is so annoying for playing around too much and letting the fusion end right when he had Buu on the ropes
bounto_bane_479
Watching Gohan dominate Buu without even transforming makes the whole debate about him being stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Goku feel a lot more real
almighty_yhwach
The title unlucky break really fits because Goten and Trunks were seconds away from being killed before the save
talon_266
It was such a major shift in energy when Gohan arrived, and the way he treated Buu like a child was hilarious.
joseph_joestar
I have been waiting through so many episodes of the Old Kai dancing around for Gohan to finally show up and save everyone. It was great to see him actually arrive, acting like the strongest fighter on the planet without even needing to go Super Saiyan. It was wild how he absolutely dismantled Buu after Gotenks messed everything up.
rauru
Buu blowing himself up just to buy time shows how much he actually feared getting his head kicked in by Gohan
tracey_sketchit_337
That moment the fusion ended and left those two kids alone against that monster was the most stressful part of the entire fight
kitsune_knight
I couldn't get over how confident and calm Gohan looked while Buu was throwing a total temper tantrum
sailor_jupiter_395
Gohan just standing there and letting Buu throw everything at him without breaking a sweat was exactly the comeback he needed
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 262 sits in the final act of the Majin Buu saga, only 29 episodes from the series finale, placing it during the most desperate and high-powered confrontations of the entire arc. The episodes surrounding it involve last-resort techniques and rapidly shifting alliances as Earth's defenders throw everything they have at an increasingly dangerous threat. This episode likely serves as a critical turning point where a promising strategy falls apart, setting up the next escalation in what becomes Dragon Ball Z's climactic resolution.
