A year later after gaining newly found popularity on Toonami, the series was reconsidered for continuation. FUNimation began dubbing episodes 54 through 276 (the series finale) on their own, with their own in-house voice actors and studio equipment from September 13, 1999 to April 7, 2003. This re-dub is often referred to as the Funimation dub. SS2 Goku and Majin Vegeta begin their ferocious battle, proving that both have been training hard during their seven years of peace. Meanwhile, Videl informs Goten and Trunks of Majin Buu and the two Saiyans fly off to join their fathers and friends.Bulma, Krillin and Gohan complete their trip to Planet Namek and begin their search for the Dragon Balls.

Or is he destined to become an outcast? Buu heals a hurt puppy that he found and becomes his new friend. Buu proclaims that he won't kill ever again after he found out from Hercule that killing is wrong. But then two snipers come and shoot the puppy. Buu becomes really angry. With no new battles to fight, Goku has been living a quiet life in the countryside with his wife Chi-chi and their son Gohan! While Goku makes plans to spend a happy day with friends on Master Roshi's island, a powerful new threat is on its way to Earth. And the arrival of this sinister alien could spell disaster for Goku and his friends!With Piccolo defeated, 17 has no choice but to fight Cell on his own or so it seems, that is until Android 16 launches a silent complaint by pummeling Cell with a fury of fisticuffs. As the battle rages on, it is easily noticeable that 16 is just as strong as Cell. Knowing the fight is at a stalemate Cell uses a desperate attempt to absorb 16 into his being, but due to the way 16 was built Cell is unable to complete the Androids demise. Android 16 proceeds to rip off Cell tail, ensuring that the greedy monster could never absorb anyone ever again, but Cell has Piccolo's regenerative ability, and instantly regrows his deadly tail. Can the silent giant 16 defeat Cell, and if not who can, perhaps this fight will buy Vegeta and Trunks the precious time they need to complete their training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
