Follow our comprehensive guide to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's 'Majin Buu Reborn' saga. Learn how to prepare for Goku's return, complete substories, and advance the main story.
You will automatically appear at Capsule Corporation, where you need to speak with Bulma about the whole “Golden Fighter” situation. Before that, if you check your Story section of the menu, you see that a new Substory is available, but you’re not able to access it right now, so let’s continue with the main story. Speak with Bulma and while she is getting your disguise ready, you need to talk with Trunks. Head into the garden area and look for the door there to find Trunks. After that little conversation is over, as well as the follow up with Vegeta, return to Bulma to get your new disguise.
You will then be back home, with your mother seeing you off, as well as your little brother, Goten. You still can’t travel yet, but with the disguise, you are able to fly once more. As you approach Satan City, there will be a scene with some armed thugs and Videl. After taking care of the ruffians, Video figures out the Great Saiyaman’s identity, so she basically blackmails him by having Gohan teach her how to fly. Plus, she also “encourages” him to enter the next World Martial Arts Tournament. Since you can’t wear a helmet in the tournament, Gohan decides to visit Bulma again to see if she can think of anything. At this point, you actually are able to access the world map, so let’s tackle some Substories, of which there are two new ones in addition to the one from earlier. The first one will be at your house.
Goten’s Growth
Goten is bored and wants to go play, but Chi-Chi is not exactly pleased that he isn’t doing his studies. To help out his mother, Gohan decides to go fishing for her, but Goten wants to tag along. Before heading out, Chi-Chi mentions that she wants you to catch three Blue Fish. You will automatically go to the fishing spot, so it’s time to catch some aquatic creatures. As their name suggests, Blue Fish are blue in color and very easy to tell whenever they come out of the water. However, you have no idea you have one hooked, so it might take a little bit to get three of them.
The Blue Fish are more blue than any other kind
Once you get all three, Goten wants to do one more thing before heading home, which is to fight you. As a fight, Goten is very simple, as the only Super Attack he has is just him charging straight at you (Goten Attack). He does seem a little aggressive at times, but it’s nothing you can’t handle at this point in the game. Upon winning the battle with Goten, the substory will end.
| Objective | Reward |
|---|---|
| Helped Goten blow off some steam | 190,593 EXP, D Medal (x10), Super Sacred Text of Martial Arts (x1), Card 069 (x1) |
The next substory will be northeast of Goku’s house, so head in that direction.
Uninvited Training Partner
Videl needs some help with training for the upcoming tournament, so she’s asking you to do it. After a little training session, you find out that Videl’s father, Mr. Satan, doesn’t know she’s out here with a boy. As you’re speaking with her about this, a robot shows up and triggers a fight with you. This is just a single Skull Robo, so it’ll go down very easy. There will be a few scenes after the fight, but the substory will be complete when you win.
| Objective | Reward |
|---|---|
| Helped with Videl’s training | 233,941 EXP, D Medal (x10), Prime Golden Wolf Meat (x1), Butterbur Scrape (x4), Shiny Laver (x3) |
For the next substory, travel to Lacco Village in the Southeast Islands Area.
Daddy’s Little Girl
Krillin, Android 18 and Marron are enjoying some time to themselves. Marron shows Gohan her treasure, a round stone, when all of a sudden a fish jumps out of the water and steals it from her. It’s your job to retrieve it, which will be done by fishing. The game doesn’t tell you what to do initially, but once you regain control, the right side of the screen says to catch a Blue Fish. So, keep fishing until you catch one of these, after which, you will get the stone. Return it to Marron to finish the substory.
You will automatically receive the stone upon snagging a Blue Fish
| Objective | Reward |
|---|---|
| Retrieved Marron’s favorite stone | 198,495 EXP, D Medal (x3), Golden Compass (x1), Marron’s Soul Emblem |
To continue the main story, travel to West City and approach Capsule Corporation for a short scene with Launch. It seems she has a problem and was going to ask Bulma for some help, but Gohan seems more fit for the role, as defender of justice and all. She was tasked with looking after a farm for Tien, but some monsters showed up to wreak havoc. The farm is located north of Goku’s House, so head there now to find some Saibamen. These are easy enough and you will be finished with Launch’s problem after they’re gone.
With that diversion out of the way, it’s time to return to Capsule Corp. Once you arrive at the doorstep, Trunks comes out to greet you and brings you to his mother. Gohan recites his new problem and Bulma finds a solution, plus you find out that both Vegeta and Goku will be joining the World Tournament. In the latter’s case, Goku is being allowed to return for a single day to participate, so Bulma suggests going and telling everyone the good news. Upon stepping foot outside of Capsule Corp, you will notice some new Substories available, so let’s tackle those first. The first one is right outside of Capsule Corp.
Toughening Up
Trunks is bored and wants you to play with him. He wants you to take him somewhere he can go all out, so Gohan brings him to the spot where he trained with Piccolo. Being all antsy, Trunks runs off without you, so travel to the Central Plains Area to catch up with him. When you get there, you see he was “playing” with the dinosaurs, as evidenced by the one knocked out behind him. Next, he wants to f
