Ep. 258: Gotenks attempts ineffective flashy moves against Super Buu before trying a new strategy
Aired on March 1, 1995

Gotenks engages Super Buu in combat, deploying several new special attacks that prove visually impressive but tactically useless. These techniques feature absurd titles, such as the Screaming Angry Wombat, and fail to damage the opponent. Recognizing the futility of these displays, Gotenks consults Piccolo for strategic advice. He subsequently generates an energy barrier known as the Galactic Doughnut to contain Buu. Although the trap holds briefly, Buu manages to shatter the ring. Following this failure, the two resume actual combat. Gotenks then initiates another specialized technique called the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack, which involves expelling a spectral clone of himself to utilize against Buu in the ongoing battle.
