02/12/2017 04:34 pm EST

All isn't well in the world of Dragon Ball Super. Thanks to Goku's impetuous boredom, the fighter has initiated a deadly multiverse martial arts tournament which only ends in death. The fate of Dragon Ball's 12 universes are on the line, and Goku's gang of warriors will now have to defend their home with all they have. This weekend, fans watched as all the Gods of Destructions gathered to attend the event alongside the two Omni-Kings, Zen-Oh. And, next weekend, it looks like it will be up to Majin Buu to get in the ring.

A preview for Dragon Ball Super's 79th episode has debuted, and it shows the pink rotund alien in a bind. Majin Buu will be facing off against Universe 9's Basil who has unbelievably strong kicks. Filled with naivety, Buu appears to be taking the battle as a joke to the horror of Gohan and the rest of Universe 7's warriors.

Even Goku's voiceover can be heard begging Buu to take the match seriously. However, fans will have to wait until Saturday to see if the alien took his friends' words to heart.
