Ep. 279: Supreme Kai and companions observe as Goku battles Buu on a distant planet.
Aired on September 20, 1995

The Supreme Kai, Dende, and Old Kai relocate to a remote planet with a viewing crystal ball to avoid interfering with Goku and Vegeta, inadvertently leaving Hercule and Bee behind. Goku and Vegeta use rock, paper, scissors to determine the first fighter, with Goku winning the match. He transforms into Super Saiyan 2 and attacks Buu, destroying him temporarily, but the enemy reforms. Buu launches a massive energy sphere that Goku deflects, only for Buu to redirect it back into the planet. The resulting impact causes powerful shock waves that severely distort the planetary surface. In response to the escalating threat, Goku decides to power up to Super Saiyan 3.
