Kid Buu's first target is the Earth, which, in a psychotic episode, he blows up the minute his transformation is complete. Vegeta, Goku, Hercule, Dende, and the puppy Bee are the only survivors. Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks all die in the blast. This creates the first death for Gohan, Goten, and Trunks, respectively. Kibito Kai saves them by using the instant transmission and they make it to The Sacred Kai planet. Vegeta berates Goku for the needless deaths of their sons. However, Kid Buu reforms from the chaos of the remains of Earth and tracks them to Other World, on the planet of the Kaiôs, and engages in one last climactic battle with Goku and Vegeta. Goku starts off in the Super Saiyan form then Super Saiyan 2. He tries to conserve energy and actually holds up pretty well. Realizing a few minutes into the battle that Kid Buu is tougher than he looks, Goku transforms into Super Saiyan 3. He then fights Buu and nearly wins, but doesn't defeat him due to Buu's regeneration technique. Goku launches a Kamehameha Wave at Buu, exhausting himself and not even finishing Buu. Vegeta steps in, but is no match for the likes of Kid Buu. Just before he is killed, Goku resumes fighting at Super Saiyan 3. As they battle, Vegeta comes to accept that Goku is stronger than him. Goku curses, having wasted too much energy in the fight. Vegeta decides to step in, allowing the worn out Goku to rest and gather his energy for a final attack. Kid Buu engages in battle with Vegeta as a Super Saiyan 2 and proves superior. Kid Buu rejuvenates himself too many times for Vegeta's energy. Vegeta does his best to give Goku the time he needs, but for some reason it's taking longer than expected. Eventually Vegeta falls, so Hercule steps in and challenges Buu, but Buu finds himself unable to attack. He spits out something that turns out to be Good Buu. Hercule overcomes his cowardice to fight for his unconscious friend. When Good Buu wakes up, he saves Hercule and begins fighting Kid Buu. Meanwhile, Vegeta tells Dende, Kibito Kai, and Rou Dai Kaiôshin (Elder Kai) to travel to New Namek where they summon Porunga, the Namekian dragon. Vegeta has them wish for the restoration of Earth and the resurrection of everyone killed since the morning of the Tenka'ichi Budôkai (World Martial Arts Tournament), except for the most evil. The Dragon complies and Vegeta then explains his plan to defeat Kid Buu: a Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb) made from the freely given energy of the people of Earth, transferred through Goku.

He communicates to the entire planet via King Kai, asking the people of Earth to give their energy to power the attack, but only their friends and family believe him. Meanwhile, Good Buu is defeated by Kid Buu. Vegeta, who just regained his life from Porunga, attempts to hold off Kid Buu again so that the Spirit Bomb can be completed. Goku asks the people of Earth to help but only a few people Goku helped in the past actually give up their energy. Things look hopeless until Hercule proceeds to tell the people to give up their energy so that he can defeat Buu. The Spirit Bomb is finished, but Kid Buu has defeated Vegeta who is now too weak to move. Kid Buu knows Goku won't fire the Spirit Bomb because it would destroy his friend, so he stands on top of Vegeta while continuing to blast Goku.

Good Buu uses the last of his strength to knock Kid Buu over. He tells Hercule to grab Vegeta. Kid Buu recovers and blasts Good Buu. Goku throws the Spirit Bomb, but is exhausted. Kid Buu is able to stop the Spirit Bomb and push it back towards Goku. Vegeta asks Dende to make one last wish: to restore Goku's strength. The dragon grants the wish and Goku feels renewed. Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan and pushes the Spirit Bomb back towards Buu, overwhelming him. Buu's body disintegrates into nothing and is destroyed. (Note: The direct-resulting steps in this Spirit Bomb sequence are brought back in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai series of games, starting with Budokai II as Goku's ultimate attack, the Super Spirit Bomb.)

Goku uses the Dragonballs to wish for the people of Earth to forget about Majin Buu, so that the Good Buu can exist without being feared. Goku also makes a wish that Majin Buu could be reincarnated, so Goku can fight him again without the possibility of death. Vegeta finally feels unthreatened by Goku's ability to surpass him. He also feels welcome with his own family and his new found friends. Ten years later, Bulma and Vegeta have another child, Bra, Goten and Trunks have grown to young teenagers, and Gohan marries Videl and they have a child, Pan. At the World Martial Arts Tournament, the Z fighters meet a boy called Uub. This boy is the reincarnation of Kid Buu. Goku asks Majin Buu to change the numbers so Goku would be matched with Uub. Goku and Uub begin to fight and it's clear that Uub has great potential. As they fight, Goku mocks Uub several times to see his true potential, which works. Goku cuts the match short by suggesting he train Uub. Uub agrees and they fly off together. Everyone in the stands witnesses and applauds this as Earth's hero and Uub fly away. This is the final episode, ending the journey of Goku and his friends.
