Episode Information

Episode Summary

Vegeta has stopped moving, and seems to be having trouble breathing. On the sidelines, Goku and the others realize this is because Magetta is heating up the arena. Beerus thinks the new barrier Champa and Vados set up is contributing to this by keeping the heat in, and while Champa claims the barrier allows for sufficient air circulation, Magetta’s heat seems to be too intense for this to make a difference. Vegeta is still undeterred though, reasoning that he simply needs to end the match as quickly as possible, before the heat takes its toll. Magetta continues to attack Vegeta with his lava spit, and Vegeta tries to attack Magetta’s unguarded head, but is forced back by hot steam. A huge explosion from Magetta nearly forces Vegeta into the barrier (where he would lose by ring-out), but fortunately he manages to stop himself in the nick of time. The judge decrees that this explosion was fair-play because it was not created by a weapon, but one of Magetta’s farts simply ignited. Beerus wonders if Champa is bribing the referee, but Whis notes that his judgments are always perfectly fair.

Goku finds Magetta’s fighting style intriguing, and wonders how he would handle things if he was in Vegeta’s shoes. At a distance Magetta attacks with his lava spit, and up close his iron body renders anything but one’s strongest attacks ineffective. Plus the heat and low oxygen are taking an increasing toll on Vegeta, and the barrier hems him in, so doing something about the lava spit might be his best option. He might be in real trouble here! Beerus yells at Vegeta not to lose, while Vegeta has had enough of everyone’s yammering and starts charging up a big attack (seemingly the Galic Cannon). Magetta responds by raising the heat up even more, and a struggle starts up between Vegeta’s ki and Magetta’s lava. In the resulting chaos, Vegeta is knocked from the ring… and seems to touch one foot down on the ground. Everyone goes quiet. Is it a ring-out?

As Vegeta remains perfectly still, the referee comes over and investigates, finally declaring that Vegeta is safe! His foot has in fact touched a broken-off piece of the arena itself that had landed on the ground, and so by the referee’s judgement this still counts as being in-bounds. This time, it’s Champa who wonders about the referee’s fairness. Who hired this idiot?! Vados calmly points out that it was Champa himself. Like with Goku in Round 1, Vegeta has been saved by a rules technicality… which drives him crazy. Fed up with the whole situation, he asks the referee if he is fine so long as he avoids touching the barrier. When the confused referee says “yes”, Vegeta immediately starts powering up. Champa assumes Vegeta is simply throwing a tantrum, but he has a plan: through sheer power alone, he manages to shatter the barrier. Pieces fly everywhere, sticking into things like shards of glass. Several pieces land around Monaka, who continues to sit perfectly still (which impresses Goku to no end). Champa angrily asks Vados why she did not make the barrier stronger, but she retorts that Champa himself told her the barrier’s strength did not matter.

With the heat dissipated, Vegeta can breathe properly again, and considers the match as good as over. He unleashes a Final Flash, his ki once again clashing against Magetta’s lava. Bit by bit, Magetta is pushed toward the edge of the ring by Vegeta’s attack. Just as he is almost over the edge, Vegeta cries “you’re finished now, you hunk of junk!” With that, Magetta gives way and is sent flying out of bounds. Vegeta has won! Though this last attack destroyed most of the ring, which will now have to be rebuilt. Vegeta flies over to Whis and gulps down some water. Seeing Magetta sitting over with the other Universe 6 warriors crying inconsolably, Goku finds it hard to believe Magetta seemed so strong just a little while ago. Whis explains that being called a “hunk of junk” must have taken a toll on him. Metalmen are actually quite sensitive, and cannot fight if insulted. Beerus yells at Whis for keeping such vital information secret, but Goku notes that if they had known that, it would have been a pretty boring fight. On top of that, Vegeta could have finished the fight even sooner if he had gone all-out… but it seems the two of them are both “worried” about Hit. Over at the Universe 6 fighters’ seats, Cabba gets up and declares that it is his turn next.

Episode Notes
