As the Majin-Buu Saga continues, three more episodes bring new twists to the story that make matters even worse...and then usher in a new hope. In "The Old Kai's Weapon," we see how the absorption of Piccolo and Gotenks has given Buu nearly unlimited power, as well as several new ideas for how to use those abilities, thanks to Piccolo's intelligence. Gohan, while newly powerful, is still all alone and weakening under Buu's borrowed power, until the Old Kai steps up with an idea for Goku. In "Ready to Fuse?," Goku has to watch helplessly as his other son is absorbed by Buu, making the monster yet more powerful. Old Kai, however, has tricks of his own that just might allow Goku to even out the battlefield a bit. Finally, in "Union of Rivals," Goku must decide with whom he can fuse to face Buu: Hercule Satan, Dende, or...Vegeta?
