1. Goku vs. the God of Destruction, before the battle

42 lines

Hmm... What was it again? I feel like I can almost remember.

It's on the tip of my tongue, but...

Beerus, the God of Des- truction, was the greatest destroyer of lives and planets in the universe. Awakened after 39 years of slumber, he sought any who might become the archrival he had seen in a prophetic dream...

Beerus

The ultimate fighter, the likes of which have never been seen...

A being sure to entertain me... And he's known as...

Whis

As what?

...The Super Saiyan God!

Whis

But Lord Beerus, there is no such thing as a Super Saiyan God.

Beerus

Maybe the Saiyans would know some- thing about this.

Oh, wait. Frieza destroyed the Saiyans' home of Planet Vegeta, didn't he?

Whis

Lord Beerus, weren't you the one who ordered him to do so during your slumber?

Beerus

So... Let me get this straight...

You're saying the Saiyans were annihilated along with Planet Vegeta?

Whis

Not exactly. Most of them were, but those on other planets were unscathed.

Beerus

In any case, I WILL find the one they call the Super Saiyan God.

And so Beerus, the God of Destruction, arrived on King Kai's Planet. There he found Goku, one of the Saiyan survivors. The moment he faced Beerus, Goku could not suppress the urge to battle the unbelievably powerful God of Destruction...

Goku

Huh? Super Saiyan God?

Nope. Never heard of him.

Beerus

I see...

Whis

Let's go, Lord Beerus. It seems it was merely a dream, not a prophecy.

Beerus

Hmm...

Earth is not too far from here. Let's go ask Prince Vegeta about this.

Goku

Excuse me, Lord Beerus, sir? I heard that you're crazy strong.

Would you mind showing me what you can do? So I can see if it's true.

Beerus

You wish to test my strength? How, exactly?

Goku

Just a little test.

How about going one round with me?

Do you even know what you're saying? Are you insane?!

Beerus

Never have I heard something so... peculiar.

Very well, Saiyan. I'll show you my strength.

What?!

Goku

Yes!

Beerus

Anytime you're ready.

Goku

How 'bout right now? No offense, but I'm more than ready.

Beerus

Is that right?

Goku

This is Super Saiyan!

Beerus

I see. So that's how you defeated Frieza, eh? Seems you powered up slightly.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Goku

You asked for it, Lord Beerus! I won't be pulling any punches.

Better brace your- self 'cause I'm going full bore!

Beerus

Be my guest.

Goku

Here goes!

2. Goku vs. the God of Destruction, after the battle

13 lines
Beerus

You can't win them all, but I appreciate your display of martial prowess today.

Super Saiyan 3 Goku

...!

I'll thank you by telling you some- thing useful.

A destroyer's power...is not to be taken lightly.

And so Beerus departed from King Kai's Planet. Goku had been instantly defeated, despite facing the God of Destruction as Super Saiyan 3, his most powerful form. But even having borne witness to Beerus' over- whelming might, Goku didn't seem cowed.

Goku

That was incredible. To think that such a being exists...

Just be thankful you weren't killed, you idiot!

Goku

Man... The only way I'm getting stronger than this is to fuse with Vegeta.

Even then, I doubt I'd win...

Goku! Don't tell me you're itching to take that thing on again?!

Goku

He mentioned a Super Saiyan God or some- thing like that.

Is that something achievable through training?

Beerus was heading to Earth in search of the Super Saiyan God, the ultimate fighter... But who was this so- called Super Saiyan God? And what fate awaited the Earth?

3. Battle of Gods, before the battle

20 lines

Beerus had come all the way to Earth, but nowhere was the Super Saiyan God to be found. Enraged by yet another disappointment, Beerus prepared to destroy the planet. But just at that moment, Goku once again appeared...

Goku

Lord Beerus... Can we have another test? All or nothing.

Beerus

What do you mean?

Goku

That Super Saiyan God you mentioned. Maybe I can find him.

I just need a little time.

Beerus

Fine. But only a little.

Vegeta

Kakarot... What are you gonna do?

Goku

I'll enlist Shenron's aid.

Whis

Lord Beerus, I thought you'd given up on finding the Super Saiyan God?

Beerus

I awakened after a mere 39 years so that I might meet just such a character.

Whis

Yes, indeed.

Beerus

But this will truly be the last time.

If this falls through, I really will destroy Earth... No, the entire solar system.

The Super Saiyan God shall be born when five Saiyans with righteous hearts focus all their power on another righteous Saiyan. After learning this secret from Shenron, Goku immediately set out to see if it would work. That's when...

Beerus

Will I finally get to meet the Super Saiyan God?!

Whis

So it would seem.

Beerus

Then I'd say it has been worth the wait.

Super Saiyan God Goku Limitbreaker Kamehameha

Lord Beerus! Sorry to keep you waiting so long.

Beerus

Now, show me the power of the Super Saiyan God!

Super Saiyan God Goku Limitbreaker Kamehameha

You got it! Let's do this!

4. Battle of Gods, after the battle

29 lines
Goku

...

Beerus

The power of the Super Saiyan God has completely fused with your being, becoming your own.

The red radiance of a god blazes like fire within you even as we speak, does it not?

Goku

Umm... If you say so?

All I know is I'm me. Whaddya say we leave it at that?

Beerus

(sigh) Poetic sentiment is wasted on fools.

Goku

Poetic what now?

Beerus

Pah. I'm going to grow dumber just talking to you.

If I haven't already, that is.

Goku had transformed into the Super Saiyan God, but he still could not defeat Beerus. Earth was on the brink of being destroyed by the God of Destruction! But just then, Beerus fell asleep!

Whis

Sheesh... I guess he won't be waking up anytime soon.

And when he finally does, he'll have forgotten all about destroying Earth.

Goku

...!

Whis

Goku.

Goku

Yeah?

Whis

Thank you for keeping Lord Beerus entertained.

I'll return the favor someday.

Goku

Duly noted!

Whis

Until then, take care.

You can stop pretending to be asleep now.

Beerus

I wasn't pretending. I really was asleep.

Whis

My mistake.

Beerus

Earth is a peculiar planet indeed...

After all, if it can change the cold, cruel Saiyans into gentle beasts...

Whis

...I'd wager it might have had a similar effect on you too.

Beerus

Hm? Did you say something, Whis?

Whis

...Nothing important, Lord Beerus.

Beerus

Hmph.

And so Goku and Beerus' fateful meeting drew to an end. But it was only the start of a curious relationship that would transcend their standings as Saiyan and God of Destruction...

5. Begin Training on Beerus' Planet!, before the battle

7 lines

Goku's curiosity was piqued by his battles with Beerus, the God of Destruction, and the even higher levels of strength he had witnessed. And so he sped off to Beerus' Planet after learning that Whis was not only Beerus' attendant but also his martial arts master, and that Vegeta was training under him...

Whis

You and Vegeta are clever ones to ask for my guidance on your martial paths, Goku.

Few would dare to be so close to Lord Beerus.

Goku

I just wanna train like hell so I can be as strong as him!

So don't hold back. Work me like a dog!

Whis

I hope I can live up to your expectations.

And so began Goku's grueling training under Whis to obtain strength transcending that of the gods...

6. Begin Training on Beerus' Planet!, after the battle

24 lines
Whis

Your speed still isn't up to scratch. You're letting your mind control your movements.

Doing so puts a limit on your speed.

Goku (Movie)

Hmm...

Whis

Every part of your body must make judgments and act on its own. However, that is difficult to achieve.

Achieve that, and you will be able to get out of any jam.

Goku (Movie)

Can you do that, Whis?

Whis

Of course.

Beerus

Jeez... What's all the racket?

Goku (Movie)

Hm?

Whis

Oh, Lord Beerus. You've awakened?

Beerus

Bah! How do you expect me to sleep?!

H-Hey there, Lord Beerus.

Beerus

What are you doing here?!

Whis is training me.

Beerus

I can see THAT.

How did you GET here?

I had Whis bring me.

Beerus

Now why would some- one like you want strength that bad, hm?

Don't tell me you're gunning for MY job.

No way! I just wanna get stronger, that's all.

Beerus

Hmph...

Goku continued his training on Beerus' Planet. Meanwhile, far off in another corner of the universe... The evil emperor, whose fate was closely tied to Beerus and Goku, had been secretly revived...

What a surprise... But a welcome surprise this is.

To think... I'm actually back.

7. Divine Combat!, before the battle

23 lines

Frieza was resurrected with a wish made using the Dragon Balls, and he was now attacking Earth to exact vengeance against Goku. Goku raced from Beerus' Planet and confronted him in a Super Saiyan form that was even more powerful than a Super Saiyan God.

Super Saiyan God SS Goku

Well, now it's your turn. Just quit talking about it and show me what you've got.

Let's see what your special training did for you.

Frieza, too, had powered up immensely through his post-resurrection training. It was time for him to reveal his new form, Golden Frieza!

Golden Frieza

This time, I will smash you into little pieces!

Watching over the fated showdown between Goku and Frieza were none other than Beerus, the one who once ordered Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta, and Whis, Goku's new martial arts master.

Beerus

I see Frieza has grown more powerful.

Whis

Yes, it would appear Goku is having some trouble.

Beerus

Frieza's made the most of those restorative wish orbs, clearly.

Whis

Indeed. Not to mention the training he's been doing.

B-Beerus?!

Beerus

Well, well, Frieza.

I no longer merit the title of lord now? You must think rather highly of yourself.

I-I meant Lord Beerus... What are you doing here?

You aren't planning to intervene with my vengeance, are you?

Beerus

Hmph... Do what you will. I couldn't care less.

But go do it somewhere further away.

So you won't stop me?

Beerus

I already told you, I couldn't care less.

I'm the God of Destruction. I don't play favorites.

Golden Frieza

...

Okay then, time to continue with my vengeance.

Super Saiyan God SS Goku

This is where the chips go down!

8. Divine Combat!, after the battle

43 lines

Goku's hope of victory was looking good after he discovered that Golden Frieza's strength was waning rapidly. But then he was put out of commission by Frieza's underling, Sorbet.

Vegeta ended up battling Frieza in Goku's stead. Like Goku, Vegeta had trained under Whis, attaining power beyond a Super Saiyan God. And with that, he had Frieza on the ropes. However...

Frieza (Final Form)

Wh-Why you...! This can't be happening!

Me? Defeated by Vegeta?!

Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta

Your era ended a long time ago!

Don't you dare come back to life ever again!

...

Same to you!

Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta

What?!

A desperate Frieza played his ultimate trump card, vaporizing the entire planet and Vegeta along with it. Goku and company just barely survived, thanks to the shield Whis had made.

Whis

I'm not so sure that Frieza is dead.

Beerus

He has the ability to survive in space.

Tactically thinking, it was a clever move.

Goku (Movie)

That coward!

If only I had just finished him off, none of this would have happened...

Beerus

You brought this on yourself.

Whis

Well then, how about you finish him off?

Goku (Movie)

What are you talking about?

Whis

I can rewind time.

Goku (Movie)

What?!

Whis

But a 3-minute rewind is the limit.

What will it be, Goku?

Goku (Movie)

...!

Okay, Whis! Do it!

Whis

Understood. Here goes...

Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta

Your era ended a long time ago!

Don't you dare come back to life ever again!

...

Same to you!

Super Saiyan God SS Vegeta

What?!

Out of my way, Vegeta!

Super Saiyan God SS Goku

Frieza!!! Haaah!!!

Damn you!!!

Goku had Whis rewind time to just before Frieza destroyed Earth. He then unleashed a finishing blow that destroyed Frieza and saved Vegeta and Earth. Once again, peace returned to the planet.

Whis

Just in the nick of time, Goku.

Beerus

Dear oh dear. How pathetic.

Beerus the God of Destruction, saving a planet.

But thanks to that, Earth is back to normal.

And now I'm going to prepare a scrumptious feast for you two!

Beerus

What?! A feast, you say?!

Whis

I'm looking forward to that!

Goku (Movie)

Thank you, Lord Beerus and Whis!

And so Beerus enjoyed a nice meal with Goku and company on the very planet he had considered destroying. What further adventures await Beerus and Goku?

9. The Tournament Against Universe 6, before the battle

32 lines

Champa, Universe 6's God of Destruction, was Beerus' twin brother. However, there was bad blood between them, which led them to settle their feud by holding a tournament pitting fighters representing their respective universes against each other.

Goku (Movie)

Lord Beerus! C'mon, let's do it!

Beerus

You want to enter the tournament?

Goku (Movie)

Why wouldn't I?

The strongest fighters from another universe... Ooh! I can hardly wait!

Beerus

Hmm...

Okay! Let's give it a shot.

Goku (Movie)

Alright!

Whis

I must inform Monaka about the tournament.

Goku (Movie)

Monaka? Who's Monaka?

Whis

Lord Beerus selected him for Universe 7's team.

Beerus

Monaka's the strongest I've ever fought.

Goku (Movie)

No way!

Beerus

Who else did you think it was? You?

Please, Goku. You're number two.

Beerus had presented Monaka as Universe 7's most formidable fighter, but it was just a ruse he arranged to get Goku and friends fired up. In truth, Monaka was just a novice...

Goku (Movie)

Nice to meetcha. My name's Goku!

...Okay.

Beerus

You're speaking to the most important weapon we have.

Considering your utter lack of tact, talk to him as little as you can.

Goku (Movie)

Hey, what do you say to a short sparring sess,

Beerus

Goku! I already told you, save your energy for your actual opponents!

F-Fine...

So the two universes began their struggle for martial supremacy. As the tournament wore on, Goku found himself staring down Universe 6's deadliest assassin and wielder of the "Time Skip" technique, Hit.

Representing Universe 6, Hit! From Universe 7, Goku! Fight!

Goku (Movie)

Hey there. Shall we get this started then?

Best of luck!

Hit

You're not forgetting to transform into a Super Saiyan, are you?

Goku (Movie)

That eats up a lot of my power, so I think I'll save it for later.

I still haven't quite figured out how to beat you yet. I need to keep all my options open, right?

Hit

Only the young and naive reveal their strategy.

Goku (Movie)

Here I go!

10. The Tournament Against Universe 6, after the battle

23 lines

Goku fought well against Hit, using his 10x Kaioken. But due to the tournament's rule that forbids killing one's opponent, Goku surmised that Hit could not use his full power. Rather than fight a disad- vantaged opponent, Goku opted to ring himself out, thereby throwing the match.

Goku (Movie)

Let's do this again some time when there's no rules to get in our way and we can both fight unrestrained!

Hit

...

This guy is just full of surprises...

Beerus

Do you realize what you've done?!

Goku (Movie)

My Kaioken would've run out of time if I kept it up, so I would've lost anyway.

Beerus

You imbecile!!!

Goku (Movie)

Don't blow a fuse. Besides, we still have Monaka, and he's better than me.

Whis

He's right. We'll be fine.

Beerus

Argh...!

It's over. We're doomed.

Goku (Movie)

C'mon, Monaka! Reel in the win for us!

(whimper)

Hit

Intriguing.

Having sensed Monaka's true fighting ability, or lack thereof, Hit decided to relinquish the match, repaying his debt to Goku at the same time.

Hit

Goku... This makes us even.

Wait... What...?

Goku (Movie)

Shimmying Shenrons!

Beerus, please, oh PLEASE. Let me spar with Monaka? Just one round!

Beerus

Stow it already, Goku!

Our champ has tuckered out. Let's send him home for today and I promise... you'll get to fight him soon.

Goku (Movie)

Tsk. I'd better.

So it was that the tournament ended in a narrow victory by Universe 7. Goku, his heart alight with excitement at the prospect of fighting Monaka, returned to his training.

11. Universe 7's Victory Party, before the battle

24 lines

Following the fierce tournament against Universe 6, a victory party was to be held at Capsule Corporation with the full cast of Earth's heroes, plus Beerus and Whis. Team Universe 7's anchor and celebrity of the occasion, Monaka, was also invited...

Beerus

If we let Goku anywhere near Monaka, he'll insist the two of them spar.

Whis

You could always tell him the truth about Monaka, that he has absolutely no powers at all.

Beerus

No! I am a God of Destruction.

If it were to get out that we occasionally lie to get our way, it would diminish our authority among the mortals.

Whis

Understood.

In spite of Beerus' wishes, fate saw fit to reunite Goku and Monaka on the day of the party. Under the impression he was standing before the universe's greatest warrior, Goku's excitement reached boiling point...

Goku

Monaka! Great to see you, buddy!

How about that sparring session?

U-Uh...

Beerus

No, no, and NO!

Goku

Aw, Lord Beerus. I'm not asking for anything fancy...

Just one quick round!

With Goku on the warpath, it seemed Monaka's secret was about to be laid bare. So they hatched a crazy plan! Beerus would fight Goku in a costume that made him look like Monaka...

Beerus

You're telling me to wear THAT?

I'm a God of Des- truction, not a theme park employee!

Whis

You've only got yourself to blame, I'm afraid.

In all my eons...

Goku

Wow, Monaka, are you BIGGER?! Then again, you're always full of surprises.

I even sense your Ki's taken on a, dare I say...Lord Beerus- like quality?

Beerus

...

Ugh. I'm gonna end this quickly and be done with this farce...

Goku

Golly. I guess that means you've attained the power of the gods too!

This is gonna be a fight to remember!

12. Universe 7's Victory Party, after the battle

11 lines
Whis

That's quite enough! You wouldn't want this friendly exhibition destroying the planet, now would you?

Might I remind you there's a party to be had?

Goku

We'll pick this up later, Monaka. After I've clocked in more training!

All that exercise got me in the mood for some grub!

Whis

Your self-sacrifice was truly moving, Lord Beerus.

Beerus

Remind me never to get caught up in a farce like that again.

That'll teach me for spinning a web of deceit, I guess...

Whis

Might I recommend a straighter, perhaps narrower path moving forward?

Beerus

Hmph.

Right, time to chow down.

The members of Universe 7 enjoyed a victory celebra- tion and forgot all about their battles. But in another universe, a new threat was looming, one that the gods and even the future would be unable to escape...

13. Beerus' Power of Destruction, before the battle

25 lines

Goku engaged in a clash against a mysterious enemy known as Goku Black to save future Trunks' world. But when Zamasu, the apprentice of the Supreme Kai of Universe 10, joined the fray, Goku and our heroes were forced to flee.

Suspecting that the present Zamasu was at the root of all the trouble, Goku and company further surmised that Zamasu was planning to murder Gowasu in a bid to become the new Supreme Kai of Universe 10...

Despite his anger at Goku and company's repeated use of time travel, which was strictly forbidden, Beerus decided to help them save Gowasu. And so...

Supreme Kai

Well?

Whis

It's just as we thought.

Beerus

Indeed. Zamasu seeks to slay Gowasu, all right.

Goku

Seriously?!

Whis

There was the distinct scent of murderous malice in his Ki.

Goku

Murderous malice? A distinct scent?

I didn't pick up on that one bit.

Whis

Lord Beerus is the God of Destruction, so he's particularly sensitive to such things.

I am too, of course.

Goku

Is Gowasu aware of this?

Supreme Kai

Perhaps not by the looks of things.

Even I didn't sense Zamasu's murderous intent.

Goku

Then we gotta go help him at once!

Beerus

Let's not be hasty now.

I will destroy Zamasu if he intends to slay a Supreme Kai. But I must have hard evidence first.

Goku

Evidence?

But it'll be too late once he's dead, Lord Beerus!

Whis

We are talking about the next Supreme Kai of Universe 10. We cannot destroy him simply for having murderous intent.

All we can do is watch and wait.

And so Beerus and com- pany watched and waited. At last, Zamasu made his move, killing Gowasu. But Whis used his power to rewind time, and Beerus and company once again set off to see the Supreme Kai of Universe 10...

Beerus

That is all the evidence I need.

Let us go!

14. Beerus' Power of Destruction, after the battle

38 lines
Beerus

Don't push your luck.

...!

Hakai!

Waaaaaagh!

Zamasu...

Beerus

...

And so Beerus destroyed the present Zamasu. However, the battle wasn't over, for Zamasu had become the universe itself, engulfing the future world in his being. Entire civilizations and their people vanished without a trace.

Just when all hope was lost, Goku summoned Zen-Oh, the greatest god in the universe, in a last-ditch effort to save humanity. Seeing the evil that Zamasu had wrought, Zen-Oh erased the entire world and Zamasu with it. Fortunately, Goku and company had just managed to escape in the time machine. The battle against Zamasu was finally over. However...

Beerus

Looks like you've been through the wringer.

Goku

Heh heh heh...

Whis

I've been thinking, Trunks. Theoreti- cally speaking...

...it IS possible for you to return to your original time prior to the erasure by Zen-Oh.

Trunks (Teen) (Future)

It is?

Beerus

Whis! You've already said too much there. What if it results in a new Time Ring?

Then we'd have no recourse with the great Zen-Oh.

Whis

Isn't it a bit late for that?

After all, Lord Beerus, haven't YOU already created a Time Ring?

Beerus

Surely you jest!

But, Lord Beerus, when you destroyed Zamasu... ...didn't that create another world in which Zamasu wasn't destroyed?

Whis

So Lord Beerus, even you have done some- thing unforgivable.

I-I see... That's what you're getting at.

Whis

There is one complication, however.

Trunks (Teen) (Future)

Say what?

Whis

That era is already inhabited by another Trunks and Mai.

This plan will, in effect, create two of each. Are you okay with that?

Trunks (Teen) (Future)

Two of...

Mai (Future)

...

I can get used to that.

Trunks (Teen) (Future)

Mai...

Mai (Future)

Those who fought with us are alive and well in that era.

That's more than enough for me.

Trunks (Teen) (Future)

You're right.

Hey, Mr. Future!

Trunks (Teen) (Future)

Yes?

In consideration of Whis, you're off the hook this ONE time.

Take care.

Trunks (Teen) (Future)

Thank you!

And so it was that Beerus once again ended up aiding Goku and company. But neither Beerus nor Goku were aware that the greatest battle in history, one that would engulf the multiverse, was yet to come...

15. Destroyed When Defeated?! Universe Survival, before the battle

51 lines
Goku

It's been fore-e-e-ever since I've fought some- one strong. I'm rustier than a bucket of nails!

I'm here to train to get back on track!

Beerus

Is someone trying to usurp me as the new destroyer? Ha!

You know why you're rusty? You don't fight enough.

Goku

I don't fight enough, eh...? Say, what about that thing? With the stuff?

You know, the tour- nament ol' Zenny was talking about, where all the universes compete!

Beerus

Z-Zenny?!

His name is "Zen-Oh"!

Goku

Meh! Same, diff. I don't sweat the small stuff!

Beerus

As for the tournament, forget about it.

Goku

Whaaaat?! How can I forget something as awesome as that?!

I mean, it decides who's the strongest in ALL the universes!

Beerus

I'll say it one last time.

Keep away from Zen-Oh!

Whis

I would have to agree with Lord Beerus on this matter.

There is no telling what danger it might lead to.

Goku

You mean there's someone out there who's THAT powerful?

Beerus

Zen-Oh is the one you should be worried about!

Goku

Meh. He's not all that.

Beerus

Don't get cocky!

Lord Zen-Oh is a pure and noble personage. The purity is what makes him terrifying.

Whis

Don't forget he has the power to destroy an entire universe.

Goku

I know. I saw it right before my eyes.

Trust me, it'll be fine!

Beerus

I suppose it was only a matter of time until things came to this.

Your simple-mindedness is arguably as great a threat to the universe as Zen-Oh's fearsome power.

Goku

...

Beerus

...

However, Goku still headed off to see Zen-Oh despite Beerus' unease and indignation, and the decision was made to hold a martial arts tournament that would decide the strongest warrior in all the universes. Only later did he learn that the tournament came with the outrageous rule that said Zen- Oh would erase any universes that lost...

Beerus

This is all your doing!

Goku

I know, I know... We'll just have to win then!

Trust me, I'll beat anyone I'm up against!

The martial arts tournament on which the fate of the universes rested was known as the Tournament of Power. As a prelude to the main event, Goku's Universe 7 was slated to duke it out with Universe 9 in an exhibition match for the gods' viewing pleasure.

Goku

Bergamo was it?

No universes are at risk of being annihilated because of this match, so let's just enjoy it!

Bergamo (Giant Form)

Shut your trap, you pathetic worm!

Goku

Say what?

Bergamo (Giant Form)

Listen up, gods!

What now?

Bergamo (Giant Form)

If not for this imbecile's idiotic request to Zen-Oh, we could've lived on in peace!

He is a witless fool!

Sheesh, man! Can't we be a tad more civil about this?

Bergamo (Giant Form)

Silence, demon!

YOU are the enemy of all universes! And I'm here to make you hurt... really, really bad!

Beerus

Why, that no-good...

Where does he get off making Goku the bad guy?

Whis

Goku-bashing certainly does seem to be in vogue.

Leave it to that des- picable Bergamo from Universe 9 to manipu- late public sentiment.

Bergamo (Giant Form)

You have made an enemy of all the universes!

Goku

It doesn't bother me at all.

The more I fight on the edge, the more I can fight to the fullest.

16. Destroyed When Defeated?! Universe Survival, after the battle

18 lines
Super Saiyan God SS Goku

That's all? C'mon! Let's see more!

Bergamo (Giant Form)

Ngh...! Darn, Universe 7... You're something else...

Enough!

The victory goes to Universe 7!

And so the exhibition match ended, and Goku and company started preparing for the Tournament of Power's main event...

The fate of this entire universe rests on Goku and his friends. Now all we can do is hope.

Goku

Leave it to us! We got this!

Beerus

Strategy meeting at Bulma's! We'll feast while we strategize!

Let's enjoy good food now, given that the universe might soon be history thanks to a certain imbecile.

Goku

What's that supposed to mean?!

You were the one who was going to randomly destroy planets!

Beerus

There was nothing random about it!

Whis

Enough, you two!

We're not going to beat the other universes if we squabble amongst ourselves.

Indeed. Well said.

...

...Sorry.

And so, in a strange twist of fate, Beerus and Goku found themselves on the same team. But could Universe 7 win the Tournament of Power, or would it suffer the fate of those who lose, the annihilation of the entire universe?!

17. Goku and Beerus, before the battle

13 lines

The Tournament of Power is a competition in which representatives from eight universes battle it out, with the losing universes doomed to annihilation. Following one brutal battle after another, the last universes standing were Universe 11 and Goku and company's Universe 7.

Ultra Instinct was a skill said to be difficult even for the gods to master. But during his battles, Goku was showing signs of achieving that seemingly impossible feat. Opposing him was Universe 11's final and fiercest fighter, Jiren! The Tournament of Power was headed for its final and most climactic battle...

Supreme Kai

Jiren's attack keeps growing more intense.

Tien

Even if Goku can defend against such attacks, how much longer can he hold his ground?

Master Roshi

There's no getting out of this if he keeps stalling.

Piccolo

It's no use. It takes all he's got just to defend against Jiren's onslaught.

No time to slip away or use Instant Trans- mission, either.

Krillin

I-Isn't there any other way?

Beerus

...Enough.

Stop your yapping and watch this.

Krillin

Lord Beerus...

Jiren

What in the...?!

Goku (Ultra Instinct)

...

Goku's speed and power have increased by leaps and bounds.

But how can such a thing be possible?

Piccolo

The simple truth escapes you, I see. Goku is not only fighting for himself. He fights for us all.

It's no burden he bears...but our combined strength!

Master Roshi

Goku has surrounded himself with those who ceaselessly strive to improve, which in turn, improves him.

That defining charac- teristic, shared by all, is what has gotten him this far. And he knows that. He knows he's not alone.

Krillin

That works both ways. It's because of Goku we've made it this far too!

Some of us collided at the outset. Some were mortal foes. But now, we're all here, together, depending on one man to pull through!

Tien

Those drawn to fighting...are also drawn to Goku.

What a peculiar, wonderful man he is.

Beerus

Indeed.

Beerus and the rest of our heroes had placed their faith in Goku, but he had lost the power of Ultra Instinct mid- battle! However, he was still able to defeat Jiren by joining forces with Android #17 and Frieza. Thanks to the wish granted by Super Shenron, all the erased universes were restored, and at last, the Tournament of Power drew to an end...

Supreme Kai

I must say, #17's wish was rather out of the blue.

On the contrary, all was foreseen by the Zen-Ohs.

Supreme Kai

What do you mean?!

The last warrior standing would surely be a virtuous enough character to think of the other universes. Such was the Zen-Ohs' reasoning.

But, hypothetically, what if another wish had been made...?

If a self-motivated wish had been made...everything would have been erased.

Holy smokes!

Whis

I have a hunch His Omnipotences believed in Goku and his friends from the get-go.

That they would demonstrate the mortal capacity...for change.

Hey, hey, Goku! What's next?

Goku

Good question...

Ahem!

F-Forgive me, Your Omnipotences! Let us discuss this another day.

Warriors of Universe 7.

Congratulations on both a battle well fought and a superb wish.

Ha ha!

Goku!

You will come by to see us, won't you?

Goku

What're you saying? 'Course I'll drop by!

Anything for you, Zenny!

And so, Goku and friends returned to their daily lives. But their fight was not over yet. Would the day come when the two worthy rivals, Goku and Beerus, finally settled their score?
