272	"Celebrations With Majin Buu"	Monday March 31, 2003	287
After Kid Buu is destroyed, Goku, Vegeta, Hercule, Dende, and Good Buu all return to Earth. Six months later Goku and the others wish for the Earthling's memory of Majin Buu to be erased and he's free to go get into all sorts of shenanigans out in the city. He wins a fight and gets money for ice cream and then helps Bulma carry her grocery bags home. Majin Buu and Bulma thwart a jewelry store heist who are really the guys he "accidentally" beat up the first time. Saiyaman and Saiyagirl, his new sidekick/girlfriend, arrive just in time (too late). Later, Goku, Trunks, and Goten are in the hot tub and the boys fuse and attack Super Saiyan Goku in a playful fight. The tub breaks and the two are left standing in front of their friends naked and Goku laughs while Chi-Chi runs after Gotenks to spank him just like in the good ol' days.

Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Goten prepare to go to Bulma's house for a barbecue, but Goku is nowhere to be found. As Chi-Chi's anger rises, Goku is having troubles of his own. While waiting to witness the hatching of four dragon eggs, troubles arise casting him into the role of the egg protector. Goku must do his best to guard the fragile eggs not knowing that he will soon face another danger, an angry Chi-Chi!
274	"Granddaughter Pan"	Thursday April 3, 2003	289
Ten years have passed since Kid Buu was destroyed, and the Earth is enjoying a time of peace! Gohan has become a scholar and is happily married to Videl. Trunks and Goten have become strong, young teenagers! Vegeta and Bulma have a new daughter named Bulla! And, oh yes! Goku's a grandfather!
275	"Buu's Reincarnation"	Friday April 4, 2003	290
Goku has Mr. Buu (formerly Fat Buu) magically rig the drawings so he can fight Uub in the first round of the World Martial Arts Tournament. Uub, a ten year-old human boy, is the reborn, pure good, form of Kid Buu! But before Goku can fulfill his request Pan must first face off against Wild Tiger in her first match. Only at the tender age of four she has already learned martial arts and the ability to fly. Although Pan's childish attitude is deceiving, she wallops the oversized competitor to the ground with ease. Goku finally faces Uub. After Goku realizes Uub is very nervous he decides to loosen him up by making him angry through the use of insults and calling his family names.
276	"Goku's Next Journey"	Monday April 7, 2003	291
Uub, growing stronger as the battle rages, is able to learn to fight during his match with Goku, soon becoming the Saiyan's equal! Neither warrior gives an inch in this fast paced, destructive battle. But before the match is decided, Goku offers to train Uub so that he will be the Earth's next hero. Goku then bids his farewells to his friends and family, promising to return and he flies off with his new student. Thus ends the story of the Dragon Balls and Goku, the Earth's greatest hero.
