After a while, Gohan steps into the ring against Kibito, who demands that he transform into a Super Saiyan. Eero watches Gohan's bandana and cape thoughtfully. "This guy looks like a kid now, and what's with his robot-shaped costume? It looks like a flashy robot toy with a flashy cape."
A picture appears in Eero's mind. "If I were to wear this costume," thinking of his face instead of a toy mask, he shudders, shakes his head, and discards such speechless thoughts. "I like the costume of Commander Zod and his armor in the Superman movie. If I had to wear a costume, that would be the best option."
Suddenly, both Gohan's bandana and cape fall off. Eero is speechless and pats his forehead. "This guy is unbelievable."
Gohan realizes that he won't be needing the sunglasses anymore, decides to discard them, and reveals his true identity to his classmates. He then decides to fight Kibito seriously.
"I accept your challenge, but I will take it to the next level: Super Saiyan." Gohan speaks solemnly, and a golden aura starts flickering, then the aura more than doubles, reaching the 2nd Super Saiyan stage. "This is called 2nd Super Saiyan," Gohan says, looking at the shocked Kibito.
Surprising everyone, Eero also looks at the 2nd form intriguingly. Then, something unexpected happens: Gohan is instantly assaulted by Yamu and another person, who proceed to drain his energy and then fly off before anyone can react. "It seems the plot hasn't changed. I thought if I beat Spopovich half-dead, it would change the plot a little, but it seems I was wrong," Eero thinks to himself.
Following a similar plot, Supreme Kai (Shin) decides to follow the two, and Goku, Krillin, and Piccolo decide to help Shin. This is followed by the same Vegeta and Goku arguments over their match.
Goku tells Kibito to make sure Gohan is healed, and Kibito agrees. Krillin tells Android 18 to continue to participate, and Android 18 agrees. Videl decides to come along after Gohan is healed, and the three take flight as Erasa and Sharpner see Gohan and Videl flying.
Shin finally reveals himself as a Supreme Kai and tells them of the wizard Babidi's plan to resurrect the evil Majin Buu, who is supposedly the most powerful being in the universe.
Yamu and two of his minions, in order to restore Majin Buu, must collect large amounts of energy. Supreme Kai intends to give them just that so that they would lead him to Babidi's spaceship, which is obviously hidden somewhere out of sight. Kibito heals Gohan, and they (along with Piccolo, Vegeta, Goku, Supreme Kai, Krillin, and Videl) fly off after Yamu to locate Babidi's ship.
Eero looked at everything from the sidelines, not participating. He was going to join the competition only, letting Z warriors deal with villains like Babidi. He didn't like meddling in other people's business. If Z warriors could handle them easily, there was no need to tire himself.
Soon, four participants remained: Android 18, Satan, Gotenks in disguise, and Eero. Satan proposed a group battle, which passed. Eero, along with other participants, appeared on stage.
Eero glanced at Goten and Trunks in disguise and Android 18. As for Satan, he didn't pay attention to him.
Using Time Domain, Eero dodged the attacks of Mighty Mask and Android 18. Android 18 soon discovered that Mighty Mask was Goten and Trunks in disguise during battle because of the voices they emitted with every attack.
Android 18 shot a Ki attack at their direction, disqualifying them as teams were not allowed in the tournament.
Eero then glanced at Android 18 and Satan, saying, "So only Android 18 and Satan are left."
Android 18 gazed at Eero, then grabbed Satan from the neck, locking his huge head. She proposed in his ears, "Give me 20 million; I will admit defeat. I don't want any fame."
Eero smiled, listening to Android 18's proposal intriguingly, "Okay, I will. Thank you; please show mercy," Satan spoke a little relieved.
"Okay, attack me with your strongest move," Android 18 said. Satan nodded, using his Miracle Special Ultra Super Megaton Punch, pretending to knock her out of the ring.
Eero was speechless, looking at Android 18 acting up, flying outside the ring and falling.
Looking at Satan, Eero covered the whole arena in his domain, appearing beside Satan. "You have struck a deal. Here is another deal: 50 million, and I am also outside the tournament," Eero spoke wickedly, after letting the domain not affect Satan.
Satan was shocked, looking at everything frozen around, glanced at Eero's curved mouth in horror, and nodded. "I accept your offer," he replied timidly.
Eero nodded, retracted the Domain, put his hands, walked off the stage, and said, "Not an opponent; I admit defeat," walking away amid complaining audience and some cheering for Satan.
'Fools, although it's 50 million, this amount is good enough for the first-time earning in my whole life,' Eero ignored the cheers of the audience around. He walked toward the rest area to wait for the next true show.
After fleeing from the Tournament, Goten and Trunks see Videl, who tells them what's going on. Goten and Trunks decide to go see what Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan are doing and transform into Super Saiyan before flying off.
On the other hand,
The Z Team is still searching for Yamu. They come across a spaceship and watch secretly as Yamu meets Pui Pui, followed by the Demon King Dabura and the wizard Babidi. Babidi takes the energy the two fighters have brought to him and kills them.
After sensing the hidden Z Fighters, Dabura and Babidi plan to lure the Z Fighters to drain them of their energy needed to revive a powerful foe shown sealed in a pink ball. Dabura engages the Z Fighters and easily kills Kibito in the process.
After brief fighting, Dabura manages to turn Krillin and Piccolo into stone with his spit. Supreme Kai tells the remaining Z Fighters that the only way to have Piccolo and Krillin restored to normal is to kill Dabura. Dabura finally retreats back to the spaceship, leaving the remaining Z Fighters wondering what to do next.
