"The Confidence of Gotenks!!" (ゴテンクスに自信あり！！ Gotenkusu ni Jishin Ari!!, lit. "Gotenks' Got Confidence!!") is the two hundred ninety fifth chapter of Dragon Ball Z and the four hundred eighty-ninth overall chapter of the Dragon Ball manga.
Summary[]
As Piccolo lead Buu to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Krillin wonders why they would be fighting in there. Dende explains that even if Trunks and Goten lose, Piccolo could destroy the door, trapping them there in a different dimension. If Trunks and Goten die, then they can be brought back by the Dragon Balls. Master Roshi compliments Piccolo's thinking, as Yamcha wonders why Piccolo's leading Buu around in circles. Krillin says probably to buy time, as one minute out here is six hours in there. Buu is getting impatient with all this walking, but Piccolo says his opponent is at the very bottom of this place. Buu protests that they were just going up…
Having been training for quite some time, Trunks and Goten are both very tired. As they catch their breath, they discuss how they've "risen over" Super Saiyan, but its main weakness is time. They can only stay like that for five minutes, and then their Fusion runs out. Goten thinks they can easily beat him up in five minutes, but Trunks says that's no fun. Trunks has a better idea: First, they'll fight in their normal state and then drag the fight out. They'll then become "Ultra Super Saiyan" once they get to the remaining five minutes and easily beat up Buu. That'll be cool, and they'll get revenge for Papa, Gohan, and Goten's mom. As the two celebrate their "brilliant" plan, Piccolo suddenly speaks to them telepathically, talking directly to their hearts.
Piccolo says the schedule for their fight with Majin Buu has changed, and Buu is on his way right now. Goten freaks out and says they've just ended a Fusion. Piccolo says it's okay, because he's leading Buu around and buying time. There should be plenty of time for them to rest their bodies. It'll probably be another minute before they reach the door, which gives the boys six hours in there. Trunks thinks six hours is plenty, and Goten tells Piccolo he will be surprised to see how well they've trained already. Piccolo asks Buu if he wants to eat some food, but Buu yells and threatens to kill him. The boys sleep, until Piccolo reaches the door. Buu and Piccolo step inside, and Piccolo waits in the sleeping area as Buu steps out into the open space. Trunks and Goten are there, ready and waiting. They call out to Buu, and Buu asks Piccolo if that's them. Piccolo hopes for a miracle. Trunks is disappointed Piccolo will be the only spectator. They tell Buu it ends here, putting their thumbs down. Buu is getting irritated, and as they start the Fusion Pose, Buu flies over and punches Trunks. Trunks chastises him that they were obviously about to do something great, and tells Buu to stay put. "Fu…" Piccolo wonders why they're not starting out as Super Saiyan. "sion… Ha!!!" However, Piccolo is at least glad they've perfected fusing.
Gotenks appears in a flash of light, and Buu remembers beating him up earlier. Gotenks insists that he's completely different from before, and Piccolo agrees that he does seem different. Gotenks flies over and kicks Buu, pummels him, and then Buu asks if he can attack now. Gotenks says to wait and thinks Buu must be pretending to be unaffected. Piccolo thinks they're doomed…
