Hang In There, Kakarot! You Are No. 1!

"Your strength is truly amazing, Kakarot. Majin Buu has become too powerful for me, it's as simple as that. You're the only one who can fight him now. You've always been like this, ever since the day I first met you, when my conquering of frontier worlds brought me to Earth. You were always ready to meet a challenge, even when it was bigger than you were. On that day, I committed my life to surpassing you, having no idea just how far you would go. Then, at last, it happened... Fueled by my self-loathing, I too transformed. After living every moment of every day for the singular purpose of reigning over you, I finally became a Super Saiyan myself! The prince had reclaimed his throne and fulfilled his destiny! But no matter how strong I became, your power still exceeded mine... At first, I thought it was your loved ones: that it was your instinct to protect them that spurred you on and pushed you beyond your limits. And certainly, that was part of it. I've seen enough of that clown smile to know how much they mean to you. But over the years, I realized there was more. I made a family of my own and it still wasn't the key. It's something else in the way you approach a battle... I used to fight for the sheer pleasure of it, sparing no one. I killed for dominance and to feed my insatiable pride. But you never fought to kill or even to win, only to test your limits and become the strongest you could possibly be. You showed mercy to everyone, even your fiercest enemies, even me! As if you knew one day I would possess this tiny sliver of a soul... How can a Saiyan fight with such power and at the same time be so gentle?! It makes me angry just thinking about it... Or perhaps it's my anger that's made me blind to the truth for so long. I see it now... I only fought to push down others, you only fight to push yourself! Hang in there, Kakarot! You are number one!" — Vegeta finally accepting that Goku is better than him

Summary

Goku and Kid Buu continue to fight, each taking powerful blows from each other. Kid Buu folds himself into a ball again, and hits Goku hard. Goku puts all of his energy into a massive Kamehameha, but Buu just reforms afterward. Goku returns to his normal state, collapsing from exhaustion. Vegeta then steps in, but that finds he is no match for Buu. Buu cleans his clock, and just as he's about to deal Vegeta the finishing blow, Goku pushes him out of the way. He then powers back up to Super Saiyan 3 and continues their furious fight. Vegeta reminisces about all of the fights he and Goku were in. He finally admits to himself that Goku is stronger.
