Ep. 251: Goten and Trunks fuse into Gotenks to fight Majin Buu despite Piccolo's warnings
Aired on December 21, 1994
Goten and Trunks attempt to fuse, resulting in a weak, fat child and then an emaciated old man before successfully creating Gotenks. Piccolo advises waiting thirty minutes for the fusion to expire to attempt it as Super Saiyans, but Gotenks ignores this and leaves to confront Majin Buu. He lands some initial blows on the monster, but when Buu increases his intensity, Gotenks is easily defeated. Meanwhile, on the world of the Kais, Old Kai continues the lengthy ceremony required to awaken Gohan's hidden power.
