Along the way, Supreme Kai and Kibito explain to the others about how an evil mage named Babidi is seeking to revive an evil being known as Majin Buu, who was responsible for the death of four Supreme Kais long ago. To accomplish this, he manipulated Spopovich and Yamu to join the tournament and steal Super Saiyan energy needed to break the seal placed on Buu. Unable to push her flight any further, Videl, coming to understand that Gohan was the one who defeated Cell back then, places her faith in him and returns to the tournament grounds, while Gohan and Kibito catch up to Goku's group. Arriving at the site of a buried spaceship, the Z-Fighters lay in watch as Spopovich and Yamu deliver Gohan's energy to Babidi and his partner, Dabura, the Demon King.

#13 - Don't Underestimate a Super Saiyan! Vegeta and Goku's Full Throttle Power! (Season 2 - Episode 11)

As Vegeta easily outmatches Pui Pui in terms of fighting skill, Babidi changes the stage to match that of the high gravity planet, Zun, where Pui Pui is at his top fighting form. However, this makes no difference to Vegeta, who obliterates his opponent and opens the way to the next floor. Believing the Saiyans to not be underestimated, Babidi sends in his next warrior, Yakon, and changes the stage to that of Planet Ankoku, but even with the aid of pitch black darkness, Yakon is no match for Goku's keen senses. When Goku turns Super Saiyan, however, Yakon uses his ability to consume light and sucks in Goku's energy, turning him back into normal. Rather than finding an alternative way to fight, Goku instead feeds him even more Saiyan energy until he explodes from being overloaded, allowing Goku and the others to move onto the next stage.
