Super Saiyan 3 Son Goku, Buu's Monstrous Recovery!

Rumble!

Son Goku was slammed deep into the solid rock wall hundreds of meters away, loose gravel raining down upon him.

"Hee~"

Majin Buu let out another wicked, strange laugh.

Immediately after, he suddenly bent over and thrust his two short, thick arms directly into the soil.

"What is this fat guy doing?"

Son Gohan and Krillin watched, completely bewildered, unable to grasp his strategy at all.

Piccolo's expression, however, shifted as he instantly saw through the trick.

As a Namekian, Piccolo could extend his own limbs at will.

He realized at once that this move of Majin Buu's was definitely an aerial strike utilizing the elasticity of his body.

Bang! Bang!

Sure enough.

Before the others could react, Majin Buu's two fists suddenly burst out from the rock wall behind Son Goku.

Two solid punches slammed fiercely into Son Goku's back.

"Cough..."

"This fat guy is really strong!"

Son Goku was knocked out of the rock wall and raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Far from feeling afraid, his eyes instead shimmered with excitement.

He had drawn blood after taking only three hits.

It seemed Majin Buu's strength was far more ferocious than he had anticipated.

If he continued to fight head-on in his Super Saiyan 2 state, he would lose without a doubt.

In any case, thanks to his resurrection time limit, he could only stay on Earth for one day.

Since he had encountered a monster of this caliber, he might as well let loose and have a thrilling fight!

"Haa!"

Son Goku's gaze suddenly turned incredibly sharp, and a low, explosive roar erupted from his throat.

BOOM!

The entire Earth trembled violently once again.

Rings of violent golden energy waves, like a Category 12 hurricane, swept wildly in all directions with Son Goku at the center.

Son Gohan, Piccolo, the Supreme Kai, and the others were blown back repeatedly by the terrifying storm, unable to even stand their ground.

"As expected, Goku has also mastered the realm of Super Saiyan 3."

Piccolo raised his arm to shield himself from the dust and grit, squinting his eyes as he spoke.

"That's obvious! If even Vegeta can do it, how could Goku not?" Krillin chimed in, looking smug.

Judging by his cocky expression, one would think he was the one transforming.

The earth-shattering commotion lasted for several full seconds before the surroundings gradually returned to calm.

At this moment, Son Goku's appearance had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation.

His golden hair had surged, hanging down to his waist; his eyebrows had vanished, his brow ridge protruded, and his entire body was wreathed in dense blue lightning.

Without a doubt, Super Saiyan 3!

"Eh?"

Majin Buu tilted his head to look him over, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

"You... seem to have gotten stronger!" He pointed a chubby finger at Son Goku and said.

"That's right!"

"This is the Super Saiyan 3 form. Using this power should be enough to deal with you."

The corners of Son Goku's mouth curled up slightly, his tone brimming with absolute confidence.

The Super Saiyan 3 realm completely crushed Super Saiyan 2 in both speed and destructive power.

This fat guy in front of him certainly had some tricks, but he could never be a match for Super Saiyan 3!

"Heeheehee~"

Majin Buu was not the least bit afraid, once again flashing a dangerous smile at Son Goku.

"That smile of yours really makes my hands itch."

No sooner had Son Goku finished speaking than—

Whoosh!

He vanished from his spot in an instant, leaving behind only a few lingering blue electric arcs.

Bang!

The next moment, Son Goku's fist slammed heavily into Majin Buu's face, caving in his chubby features.

Boom, boom, boom!

What followed was a torrential, frenzied barrage of attacks.

In just a few seconds, Majin Buu's massive body was beaten into a pile of mush, hanging in mid-air like a wad of chewed-up bubblegum.

Super Saiyan 3 burns through too much energy; I can't drag this out.

Time to end it!

Son Goku took a deep breath, quickly pulling his hands to his waist and forming the classic cupped-hand gesture.

"Ka... me... ha... me..."

"Ha!"

With a thunderous shout, a thick, brilliant blue beam of light erupted outward.

The terrifying energy instantly engulfed Majin Buu's twisted body.

Under the impact of the violent energy wave, Majin Buu's pink form vanished like a wisp of smoke, blown away completely without a single scrap left behind.

"Did... did he win?"

"That's insane! Goku just blasted that monster to dust!"

Seeing this shocking scene, Krillin danced with excitement and shouted in triumph.

"Don't celebrate too soon."

"Majin Buu isn't dead."

Piccolo poured a bucket of cold water on the mood with a cold tone. "You idiot, you're so busy cheering that you've forgotten how to sense ki?"

Hearing this, the smile on Krillin's face froze instantly.

He hurriedly closed his eyes to sense the energy.

Sure enough!

Majin Buu's ki hadn't vanished; it hadn't even shown the slightest sign of weakening.

"Uncle Piccolo is right, Majin Buu is still alive."

Son Gohan's expression turned grim. "This means..."

"My dad's full-power Kamehameha didn't do a thing to that fat guy."

Previously, Son Gohan had thought Majin Buu was nothing special and that he could handle him on his own.

Now, it seemed he had been dead wrong.

The monster's regenerative ability was despairingly abnormal!

He had taken a direct hit from Super Saiyan 3 Son Goku's ultimate technique and didn't even have a scratch to show for it.

Gurgle...

Just as everyone stood in shock.

In mid-air, a mass of purple-pink smoke began to rapidly converge.

Son Goku looked up and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

"He really is a tough nut to crack; even a Kamehameha couldn't kill him."

"It seems the Supreme Kai had good reason to be so afraid," Son Goku muttered to himself.

The Kamehameha was his strongest finishing move.

Yet, this fat guy had taken it head-on and was completely unfazed.

In the blink of an eye.

The smoke dissipated, and Majin Buu's round, chubby body appeared in mid-air once again, completely unscathed.

"You are indeed quite strong."

"However, after being beaten around by you just now, I'm a little angry. So..."

Majin Buu grinned.

Suddenly, mimicking Son Goku's earlier movements, he pulled his hands to his waist and formed the cupped-hand gesture.

Hum!

A familiar and terrifying blue energy instantly began to swell rapidly in his palms.

"W-what?!"

"This fat guy can even use the Kamehameha?!"

Son Goku's expression shifted to one of pure shock, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

He had only used it once, and this monster had learned it just by watching?!
