Ep. 290: Goku Requests Tournament Rigging and Provokes Uub Into Combat
Aired on January 24, 1996
The tournament seeding draw commences, prompting Goku to ask Majin Buu to manipulate the results so he faces a specific powerful opponent. In the opening bout, four-year-old Pan defeats Wild Tiger with ease. Goku then encounters Uub, a ten-year-old boy who is the reincarnation of the evil Kid Majin Buu. King Yemma granted Goku’s wish prior to Buu’s destruction by restoring him as a benevolent child. Because Uub is hesitant to fight, Goku resorts to taunting him. After delivering a severe insult and kicking Uub in the face, Goku successfully enrages the boy, who then becomes determined to engage in combat.
