Episode Information

Episode Summary

Kaiō is going for a joyride around his small planet, cracking bad jokes to Bubbles and Gregory like always, when Goku suddenly teleports in front of them. He crashes his car into his house in surprise, and is rather annoyed to learn that Goku has stopped by for more training.

On Earth, Bulma is flying over to a resort island in her personal plane, with Trunks napping in the back and Vegeta standing outside on the roof. When Vegeta complains that this will not count as training, Bulma ramps up the speed and even dives underwater for a bit. Later while shopping on the island, Bulma asks Vegeta why he’s taking time out of his training to go on a trip like this with them. Vegeta flashes back to when he promised to take Trunks to an amusement park while the two were training before Majin Boo appeared. Bulma notes that Vegeta seems somehow different since fighting Boo. The family goes on to enjoy various attractions around the island, including a train and a lot more shopping, before having dinner in a fancy restaurant. Trunks and Vegeta chow down on endless food, until Vegeta gets covered head to toe in ink while eating a whole octopus. This angers him so much that his power shatters the restaurant’s windows, but he finally manages to restrain himself.

While the family sit on the beach watching the sunset, Bulma sees a massive cruise liner and thinks that a ship like that might be a good place to hold her birthday party. As the nighttime festivities get increasingly rowdy and crowded, Vegeta is having trouble containing his irritation. Despite having admitted during the battle with Boo that Goku is #1, he still doesn’t want to fall behind on his training. When the MC invites him up on stage, it’s the last straw: he finally snaps and blasts off. Bulma is impressed that he managed to last so long, and Trunks happily calls out “thanks dad!” as Vegeta vanishes into the distance.

Out in the depths of space, Beerus is trying to remember the details of his dream as he and Whis head to another alien planet. On this planet, primitive green creatures with four eyes and four arms battle against a gigantic winged dinosaur. The native’s stone weapons are no match, but in the end the dinosaur is single-handedly defeated by a larger, yellow member of their species, their leader. No sooner has the leader defeated the dinosaur than Whis appears before him, asking if he and Beerus can try some of the dinosaur’s meat. When the leader doesn’t understand, Whis repeats the request in the native’s grunting language. Unpersuaded, the leader transforms into a larger red form, clearly ready for a fight. Beerus has lost patience; he had hoped eating the meat of such a “gutsy” creature might help him remember the figure from his prophetic dream. Whis points out the Beerus’ “prophetic” dreams have not been terribly accurate in the past, such as when Beerus dreamed than a pop idol would be moving in with them. Deciding he can do without the meat after all, Beerus easily kills the native leader, then blows up the entire planet.

As the planet is destroyed, the Elder Kaiōshin off in the Kaiōshin Realm can tell that something is wrong. He asks the younger East Kaiōshin if he can sense it: the God of Destruction Beerus has awakened! Back on Earth, Vegeta has returned to Capsule Corporation and starts training in the gravity room, while Goku has likewise begun training on Kaiō’s planet by dragging huge weights around. Seeing the planet’s explosion causes Beerus to finally remember the figure from his dream: “Super Saiyan God”. He and Whis return home so that he can try and remember more…

Episode Notes

• The musical track in the first episode that played during the Majin Boo battle recap, an homage to and rearrangement of “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA”, appears to be the standard recap music going forward.
• Gregory is present during this episode alongside Kaiō and Bubbles. Gregory, not present in the manga, was developed and designed by Akira Toriyama as extra material for the Dragon Ball Z TV series when the staff asked for an additional character.
• Kaiō’s pun — 平和がへいわー (heiwa ga hei waa) — set in the standard structure of “X is X” using homophones, roughly means “hooray, peace!”
• Vegeta’s family vacation is predicated on a line from Chapter 429 / Episode 207, where Vegeta promises to take Trunks to an amusement park if he manages to punch him.
• The two fruits sticking out of Vegeta’s head during Bulma’s aggressive flight are a pomelo (“zabon” in Japanese) and durian, a nod to Zarbon and Dodoria.
• When discussing the winged dinosaur’s meat, Whis notes that it has a good reputation in Universe 7. This is the first mention in the series of one of the twelve universes originally alluded to at the end of the 2013 theatrical film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.

Staff & Cast Notes

• While the character Zarbon is referenced earlier in the episode (see notes above) , it is actually Zarbon’s voice actor from Dragon Ball Kai, Hiroaki Miura, who voices the character trying to convince Vegeta to come up on stage.
