Episode Summary

Prologue

The two Omni-Kings are playing a game where they flick planets into each other on a tiny model of the universe. Each of them has won and lost 101 games, and both have become bored, wanting to do something else. But what else is there…?

Part A

On Earth, Goku takes vegetables grown in his field and sells them at a farmer’s market. Now that he’s made some money, hopefully Chi-Chi will ease up on him so that he can concentrate on his training! As he drives his truck back home, he spots someone on the side of the road whose car has apparently broken down.

When he gets out to help, the man turns out to be part of a gang of robbers, who hold Goku at gunpoint. They demand he turn over the keys to his truck, since it is the latest model from Capsule Corporation, so they should get a good price for it. Goku refuses; he just got that truck from Bulma! While he easily disarming and beating up the robbers, he is grazed by one of their bullets.

Thinking he is getting rusty, he tries to call up Kuririn to train with him, but Kuririn is in the middle of another gun-battle against criminals. Goku then contacts Whis and asks if he can come to Beerus’ planet to train. Goku first offers to bring over some daifuku (rice cakes) for Whis and Beerus, but they have tried that already, so he decides to bring mame-daifuku (bean rice cakes) instead. Whis agrees to come pick up Goku at Bulma’s house in an hour.

At home, Goku changes into his martial arts uniform, and Goten asks to come train with him; he wants to get strong like his dad! Chi-Chi refuses to let him go, insisting that he study instead. While she lectures on the importance of studying, Goku and Goten sneak off.

Goku and Goten get some mame-daifuku at the store, and Goten makes sure that it gets properly gift-wrapped. At Capsule Corporation, Goku and Goten are greeted by Bulma, who’s riding in some sort of fancy wheelchair. It turns out Chi-Chi already contacted her and asked her to stop Goten from going off with Goku.

Bulma wonders if Goku came to check up on her, but Goku’s not quite sure what she means, and is shocked to see how big her stomach is. Did she eat too much? No, it turns out she’s pregnant with her second child, and will be giving birth soon.

Part B

Out on the veranda, Goten asks Trunks if he is getting a little brother or sister, but Trunks says they are keeping it a surprise until the baby is born. Goku tries to give Bulma the mame-daifuku as a present, but Goten tells him he needs to save it for Whis, or else Whis will not train him. Trunks says that if Goten wants to train, then the two of them should spar. With Bulma about to give birth he can’t go too far away, and he’s getting bored without anyone to play with.

Now that Goten’s staying at Capsule Corporation with Trunks, Goku goes to invite Vegeta to come train with him at Whis’. However, Vegeta refuses, since with Bulma about to give birth he can’t leave either. Whis then arrives, and Goku explains that Vegeta can’t go because his child is about to be born. Whis thinks this means Vegeta is pregnant, but Vegeta quickly sets him straight.

Goku leaves with Whis, and at Beerus’ planet the three of them eat the mame-daifuku, which Beerus enjoys greatly. Beerus wonders about the scratch on Goku’s arm, and Goku explains that he hasn’t fought anyone strong lately and has gotten rusty. That’s why he’s come, to get back in shape!

Outside Goku spars with Whis for a bit, before remembering that Omni-King promised to hold a tournament between all the universes! Beerus thinks that Omni-King must have forgotten about that promise by now, so Goku gets out the button he received from Omni-King to go remind him.

Beerus and Whis both advise against this, since there is no telling what might happen. They insist Goku never forget that Omni-King has the power to destroy universes! Goku knows that well enough, since he’s seen it with his own eyes. But even so, he still thinks it will be fine.

Pressing one side of Goku’s button will summon Omni-King to him, while pressing the other one will teleport him over to Omni-King. As Goku thinks over which side to press, Beerus holds up his hand as if to destroy Goku, and warns him again not to use the button. Goku seems to throw the button away, but actually keeps hold of it, and presses it once Beerus’ guard is down.

At Omni-King’s palace Goku is greeted by the Great Priest, and is escorted inside where he meets the two Omni-Kings. Goku can’t tell the two of them apart, but explains that the Omni-King of the present once promised to hold a tournament and he’s still anxiously waiting for it. The present Omni-King had indeed forgotten this promise, but both Omni-Kings think this sounds more fun than their present game, and decide to hold the tournament.

The Great Priest says he will let each universe’s Kaiōshin know the details once they have worked them out, and Goku heads back to train. At Beerus’ planet, Beerus smacks him for disobeying his orders not to go. Goku insists everything’s fine, but Beerus is still suspicious.

Goku has Whis take him over to Kaiōshin’s planet, to wait for word from the Great Priest to arrive. Beerus comes with them, and calms down by drinking some tea Kaiōshin prepares. It isn’t long before the Great Priest arrives with the Omni-King’s notice.

Everyone panics and bows before the Great Priest… everyone except Goku and Whis, that is. Elder Kaiōshin angrily tells Goku to bow down, but the Great Priest insists it is fine. He unfolds the Omni-Kings message and begins reading…

The Omni-King has decreed that at the one hundred and fifty-seventh hour on the 3,135,500,603rd day of the Royal Calendar, a “Tournament of Power” shall be held between teams of ten warriors selected from each universe. Goku is thrilled; a new adventure is beginning!
