DragonBall
Z Uncut
Episode 10
By Leigh Couchman
Wow, actually made it to 10 episodes. The producers must be pleased with the show. One of these days this whole gay starting sequence will be scrapped altogether for another one that doesn’t involve loud guitars. On that day I will baptize myself Israfel. Uncut scenes include the real transformation of Goten and Trunks (Cut because of a threatened lawsuit from Fisher & Paykel), and 18’s passionate goodbye.
The clouds are still covering Goku. Even Majin Buu has stopped acting like a spastic and is taking note of the yellow glow coming from underneath the clouds.
Yamcha: Errr, arrr, (Pause) errrr.
Bulma: Ooooooh.
Videl: Aaaaah. (Takes a photo)
There is another large upsurge of energy and the clouds disappear. Standing there is a radiating Goku in the form of Super Saiya-Jin 35. His hair is as big as a roadsign and is shaped like a duck. It is strangely reminiscent of a piece of topiary.
Piccolo: Jesus sweet Christ! Goku, there’s a duck on your head!
Goku gives him a withering look.
Majin Buu: You yellow people are silly! Take the wig off!
Goku: I’m going to teach you your last lesson. My son was very dear to me! And Vegeta...well Vegeta...was like a distant acquaintance. (Pause) Yeah. Anyway, your terrorizing days are over, because...
Suddenly a large hook descends from the sky and hooks Goku around the neck. He is carried into the sky.
Voice: Your one day is up. Thank you for using Back From The Dead services and products.
Goku: (As he disappears into the sky) Awww ratsh@t. (He disappears)
There is a long pause. Majin Buu looks very smug and The Z Fighters are nervously glancing at each other.
Piccolo: Uhhhh...we forfeit.
Trunks: No! The problem is so big, but Goten and I can help!
Goten: (Agreeing) Yes, we can do plenty.
Trunks: We can merge!
Everybody gasps. Chi Chi faints.
Piccolo: How long do you need?
Goten: However long a wash cycle takes.
Piccolo: (Puzzled) What the...?
Trunks: (Pulls a dishwasher from behind a wall) We discovered this when we had to hide from Bulma because of a little household accident.
Bulma: You burnt the kitchen down after a pastry rodeo you smartass!
Trunks: Well...
Goten: Look, when Trunks and I get in, set it to wash cycle and then stall Buu for about five minutes. (Looks to Trunks) Let’s do it.
Trunks: Right on. (They both climb into the dishwasher and close the door)
Piccolo: (Setting the dial) That should do it. Now then, to this pink...
18: (Cutting in) Say goodbye to Trunks for me. Tell him I loved him ever since he did that Beatles cover.
Yamcha: Trunks never did a Beatles cover! That was Bryan Ferry! And it was a Lennon song anyway!
18: Whatever. (Turns to Buu) Die! Garararrghh!!
Piccolo: Better you than me.
The fight begins. 18 never had a chance, and she is continuously pummeled. The Z Fighters are struck by her bravery.
Piccolo: Idiot.
Krillin: Well this isn’t very mondo cool. I guess I’ve been well and truly dumped.
Yamcha: (Patting his shoulder) You sure have.
Krillin: So have you. (Yamcha’s head goes down)
18: Noo! So I die, goodbye Trunks!
As she is eaten by Buu there is a ‘ping’ and the dishwasher door opens. Bathed in an incandescent light is Gotenks, the being who is the merger between Goten and Trunks. He looks around, sees 18’s leg disappearing into Buu’s mouth, and then powers up to Super Saiya-Jin 35. Cut to the Otherworld. 18 is walking up to King Kai, Gohan, Vegeta and Goku.
18: Uh, what’s going on?
King Kai: We just finished the debriefing. I’m going to merge Vegeta and Goku into one fighter named Vegitto, and then...
Goku: (Interrupting) Does it have to be Vegitto? Can’t it be Gogeta or something?
King Kai: For the last f@cking time no! Get a life! You are the most whining hero I’ve ever met!
Bubbles: Hoo hoo haa haa haa!!!
King Kai: (To 18) And then I’m going to send him back to earth to defeat Buu. I’m also going to send Gohan along to cheer them on.
18: (Hopefully) Am I going back too?
King Kai: Can you shout, shake a pom pom and shake your booty simultaneously?
18: (Seriously) Hmmmm...yes.
King Kai: Then you can cheer too. Now gather around! I’m only going to do this once. Now this may seem a bit weird, but what I’m going to do is...
Cut back to Earth, thus sparing the writer the trouble of explaining something unbelievably complex and incongruously impossible.
Gotenks: You dastardly dog! You killed my brother and two fathers!
Yamcha: That sounds kinda kinky...
Majin Buu: You annoy me! I will eat you! Saving purple streaks for last!
They both fly into the air and begin fighting. Funky synth based music starts playing. The action is interspaced with long stagnant pauses. The scene is played over three times, thus securing it as ‘Stock Footage’.
Yamcha: Is anyone else scared?
Krillin: (Nodding) Verily.
Piccolo: (Grates teeth) C’mon Gotenks! Beat that marshmallow!
Bulma: Oh no! He... he can’t do it!
As truly as Bulma spoke it Gotenks is double handed fiercely to the ground.
Gotenks: (Turning to face Bulma) Thanks for... ahhhh... jinxing it.
Buu lands squarely on top of him and gets him into a Boston Crab. But Gotenks quickly breaks out and knees Buu squar in the balls, and then throws him towards a mountain. Buu stops himself and shoots Gotenks into a cluster of rocks. It takes Gotenks a couple of minutes to get up.
Gotenks: (Staring at Buu with a half closed eye and a dried blood stained face) Am I to die like a dog too? Oh cruel villainy. (He falls to his knees)
Buu starts marching towards him but is stopped by mystical ‘Pop’.
Majin Buu: What? You! You dead! You deader than rock!
Piccolo: (Staring at the middle of three people standing between Gotenks and Buu) Those two are Gohan and 18, but who’s that?
Gohan and 18: V! E! G! I! T! T! O! What does it spell? Veeeeeegittoooo!
Gohan: And I’m supposed to be an academic.
18: Someone touched my ass.
Piccolo: What? Ve, Vegitto?
Yamcha: Goku, and Vegeta! In one? It can’t be!!
Krillin: Well, I can see Goku’s resemblance. Vegeta’s must be the widow’s peak.
Chi Chi and Bulma: (They look at each other speculatively. Pause) Nahhhh.
Narrator: Ooooh yeah! With the return of our righteous heroes the Earth now has a chance. Will Vegitto be able to show Buu just who is boss of Funkytown? Or will Buu be dining on hero pudding? Find out on the next inconceivable and silliness inducing episode of DragonBall Z Uncut!
