"Return to the Room of Spirit and Time" (トランクスと悟天、精神と時の部屋に入る Torankusu to Goten Seishin to Toki no Heya ni Hairu, lit. "Trunks and Goten Enter the Room of Spirit and Time") is the two hundred ninety fourth chapter of Dragon Ball Z and the four hundred eighty-eighth overall chapter of the Dragon Ball manga.
Summary
In the Sacred World of the Kai, Supreme Kai notices that everyone on Earth has been killed. Goku can't believe that, and wonders if the whole Earth was destroyed. Supreme Kai says the Earth is mostly undamaged but doesn't know what happened. Gohan can't hear them, and is getting annoyed, asking if this is over yet. Old Kai (still reading manga) says no, because Gohan has amazing latent abilities. Gohan stands up and angrily tells him to get his act together, unleashing quite a bit of power in the process and nearly blows everyone away. Gohan prepares to lecture him more but suddenly stops and wonders if this "boiling up power" is really him. Old Kai says to sit down, and Gohan nervously apologizes. Goku thinks he's not just a dirty old man after all and wonders just how much power Gohan has hidden.
Back at the Lookout, Buu is starring at the hourglass, as the boys realize he's changed a lot. Piccolo says he's changed in every way, not just his form. He tells them to hurry and get into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber; in one minute out here, you can get six hours' worth of training in there. Suddenly, Chi-Chi walks out toward Buu, smacks him, and yells at him for killing Gohan. Buu turns her into an egg, steps on her, and then goes back to starring at the sand. Goten starts to get angry, but Piccolo yells at him to stay put, because she can be returned to life with the Dragon Balls if they defeat Majin Buu, besides there's nothing he can do at his current level. Thus, they need to train in the remaining time. Trunks excitedly tells Goten they should train and beat up Majin Buu.
Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Trunks complains about the bad food and water in here, until Goten starts training in the white space, so Trunks runs out to train too. Some time passes, and Piccolo is silently watching Buu stare at the sand. Videl comes up to Piccolo and asks how Majin Buu knows her father. "It's simple. Mr. Satan is the only human to ever let his guard down around Majin Buu. When we were trying to accomplish things with mere power, Mr. Satan, whatever his intentions were, chose to become friends with Majin Buu. As evidence of that, even when every Earthling was killed, Mr. Satan was the only person he didn't kill. Even when he had been changed into a destructive monster like that, those memories still remained. His power can't compare to ours, but your father really is the pride-filled world champion."
Buu is getting irritated and suddenly screams that he won't wait anymore. He destroys the hourglass, and Piccolo tries to tell him that it hasn't even been thirty minutes yet. Buu then shoots a hole in the floor, and it goes straight through the temple out into the sky. Buu yells to bring him out, and Piccolo finally relents. Piccolo slowly walks Buu to them, and Krillin realizes Piccolo probably intends to have Majin Buu fight the boys in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, away from everyone else.
