"Dragon Ball Super J": If I Re-Plotted DBS

[JulieYBM]

I'll never write the story beyond simply summaries, but I threw this together recently. I don't really have a problem with the actual scripts for Dragon Ball Super, but it's fun to think of other possibilities, especially since we already have two versions of the same arc! Have fun:

Destruction God Beers Arc:

Episode #1:
A Part: Four years have pass since the defeat of Majin Buu. Son Gokuu is working as a farmer, but idly dreams of his next big fight. Gokuu wants to go do some training with Kaiou-sama, but Chi-Chi forbids it until the harvest ends. Gokuu asks Blooma to create a way of making the crops grow faster, but Blooma tells him being patient is a part of training to and to not bother her over something so trivial. Gokuu agrees half-heartedly. Blooma reminds Gokuu that they will be seeing each other again tomorrow at her birthday party but much to her chagrin he asks her how old she will be turning. Blooma yells as Gokuu until he leaves. After Gokuu leaves, Blooma returns to working on a youth-restoring cream, comically vain as ever.
B Part: Meanwhile, Destruction God Beers awakens after a forty year slumber. Beers sets about clearing off his list of planets that need destroying, but decides he’ll only do it if the inhabitants annoy him or the food tastes terrible. Many worlds do not make the cut.

Episode #2:
A Part: The Kaiou of the North Galaxy receives a message from Whis, attendant of Destruction God Beers, that he will ‘soon’ be coming over to play the latest sequel to their shared favorite fighting game franchise. Knowing that Gokuu will soon be coming over to train, The Kaiou desperately worries that Son Gokuu will annoy Beers and set him on a rampage across the Seventh Universe, something Kaiou might get demoted for not preventing. At Capsule Corp, Blooma is wondering what to offer as the grand prize for the bingo tournament at her birthday party tomorrow. Thinking back to her current project—a youth-restoring cream—Blooma curses Gokuu for asking about her age. Maybe she should just use the Dragon Balls instead, like she originally thought? But then she wouldn’t be able to exercise her genius to the world. Finally, Blooma realizes she could offer the Dragon Balls themselves as a prize and tells Trunks to go and collect them for her. Meanwhile, Beers learns from Whis that while he slept the Saiyans and Freeza have both been wiped out. Recalling a dream he had about a ‘Super Saiyan God’, Beers begins to investigate.
B Part: While searching for the seventh Dragon Ball, Trunks comes across the Pilaf Gang. Years ago the Pilaf Gang asked Shen Long to restore their youth…but he made them too young and now they are just kids. Trunks takes a liking to Mai and saves the trio from an elaborate set of traps in the dungeon. Realizing that Trunks is “Incredibly strong, just like Son Gokuu!” the triumvirate agrees buddy up with him so as to steal all seven Dragon Balls when he isn’t looking. Wanting to impress Mai, Trunks invites the three back to his mom’s big birthday party. Meanwhile, Gokuu in a seemingly stunning show of patience goes about silently tending to the Son family crops, confusing even Chi-Chi and Goten. Mother and son set about multiple scenarios about what happened earlier in day while Gokuu was left alone after he had been so set on leaving the job behind. Finally, after two imaginary scenarios, Mister Satan arrives with a suitcase full of money. Now the Sons won’t have to work to keep living. “But I wanted Gokuu-sa to learn the value of a real job!” “But Chichi-san,” counters Mister Satan, “Now your social status will go up anyway!” This changes Chichi’s mind instantly and Gokuu gleefully teleports to Kaiou’s world.

Episode #3:
A Part: An intense battle occurs between two video game characters across an old television screen. The Kaiou-sama of the Northern Galaxy sweats profusely. If he loses on purpose, Beers-sama will know and get mad! If he wins Beers-sama will blame him for taking advantage of how rusty he is for having not played in so long! Finally, Gokuu appears and distracts Kaiou-sama long enough for Beers to take advantage and deplete the rest of his health bar. Kaiou-sama is at first scared to death, but soon realizes that Beers was not annoyed. “Too dull, old man!” Beers says teasingly. A panicking Kaiou cannot stop Gokuu from asking who Beers and Whis are. Whis explains himself and his master, which naturally excites Gokuu. Gokuu challenges Beers to a battle, but Beers has a question first: “Do you know who the Super Saiyan God is?” Gokuu and Kaiou are puzzled by this question. Gokuu shows his Super Saiyan forms to Beers, but he isn’t much impressed.
B Part: Super Saiyan 3 Son Gokuu finds himself unable to touch his foe. Beers knocks Gokuu down with ease and lectures him on using a transformation that consumes so much stamina. “Work on getting all that dormant power accessible in your normal state!” he chides. Beers and Whis bid the Kaiou-sama of the North farewell and take off for Earth.

Episode #4:
A Part: The Kaiou-sama of the North contacts and warns a training Vegeta, who is training, of Beers’ arrival, “If he gets mad the entire planet will be wiped out!” Vegeta wonders to himself where he has heard that name before. Meanwhile, Blooma holds her birthday party high in the skies above on her flying island: the Blooma Realm (modeled after the Heavenly Realm). Vegeta arrives after being late to the party, but has luckily arrived before this ‘Beers’ character. Finally thinking he can take a moment’s rest, Vegeta feels a chill run down his spine when he hears a familiar voice: “Yo, Vegeta, long time no see!” The man who made even his father cower in fear has appeared before him.
B Part: A flashback to the day that Vegeta first met Beers. Afterward, Beers mingles politely with the party-goers, passing himself off as an old friend of Vegeta so as to enjoy the food. Vegeta runs around in a frantic manner, doing everything he can to prevent the unsuspecting party attendees to enrage Beers. When Majin Buu refuses to share fortune cookies with Beers the Destruction God snaps and mercilessly pounds him into mush. Ready to finish the job, Beers sends a giant ball of ki down upon Majin Buu. At the last second Mister Satan leaps in front of Majin Buu to shield him, ending the episode on a cliffhanger.

Episode #5:
A Part: Super Saiyan Vegeta shields Mister Satan and Majin Buu by kicking the ki sphere up into space. Vegeta tries futilely to calm Beers but is only knocked aside. Trunks launches toward Beers with Son Goten in pursuit. “Stupid brats!” Piccolo is not far behind. Eventually, Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, Tenshinhan and Artificial Human #18 are engaged in a battle against Beers. Gohan reluctantly steps in and transforms into a Super Saiyan, radiating a ki mighty enough to attract his friends’ attention. Beers handedly defeats Gohan with juudou before using his body to incapacitate his friends.
B Part: Vegeta is now all that remains between Beers and the destruction of Earth. Blooma interrupts the fighting to yell at Beers for ruining her forty-fifth birthday party and slaps him. Not amused, Beers slaps her back, nearly killing her. Enraged, Vegeta’s Super Saiyan aura explodes and for once Beers seems shocked. “Vegeta is even strong than Gokuu now!” exclaims the Muten Roushi, remembering how Gokuu showed him his full power while sparring the other day. Vegeta unleashes a barrage of attacks on Beers before finally exhausting his stamina. Beers is none the worse for wear. “We’re done for!” gasps a Vegeta short on breath. Finally, Son Gokuu arrives: “Beers-sama! Destroy Earth and you’ll never get to fight the Super Saiyan God!” Gokuu exclaims.

Episode #6:
A Part: Beers halts his attack when Gokuu offers that by using the Dragon Balls they should be able to ask Shen Long about the Super Saiyan God. Shen Long is summoned and displays quite a fear of the Destruction God. Shen Long explains that a Super Saiyan God can be created by infusing a Saiyan with the ki of five other pure-hearted Saiyans. Chi-chi realizes that this means that they are short one Saiyan but Gohan and Videl reveal a surprise they were planning on keeping for after Gokuu and Vegeta arrived: they’re pregnant! Since a Saiyan’s ki is growing within Videl her own ki should be saturated in Saiyan ki. Together, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, Goten and Videl pour Saiyan ki into Gokuu and he becomes a Super Saiyan God.
B Part: Gokuu battles Beers as a Super Saiyan God, but displays difficulty in utilizing his new power. The battle spreads across the planet, but the Blooma Realm follows along with ease. Beers scolds Gokuu as he pounds on him mercilessly. Chichi and the others worry that Gokuu is about to be killed but Piccolo comments that it is almost as if Beers is training Gokuu. As the battle heats up the two combatants move up into outer space.

Episode #7:
A Part: Gokuu’s ki grows stronger, rushing to the surface as his battle with Beers heats up. Finally, Gokuu appears to be even with Beers. Nevertheless, after finally drawing blood, Gokuu realizes that the battle is just getting started as Beers ki takes on a frightening new taste: Beers is finally having fun. Gokuu begins using ki blasts for the first time since transforming into a Super Saiyan God, but Beers neutralizes his blasts with his own. Meanwhile, Piccolo and the others begin to notice something happening to reality around them. Whis indicates that the battle between two rough god ki is generating shockwaves that are spreading throughout the universe. If things don’t calm down soon, the planet will be destroyed.
B Part: Gokuu realizes what is happening to the universe due to his poor command of his ki. Resolving to sharpen his focus, Gokuu enters a race against time to refine his ki control and prevent the destruction of the universe. Finally, Gokuu matches Beers blow-for-blow and cancels out the shockwaves. This excites Beers only more and the Destruction God sends Gokuu flying back down to Earth. Realizing that Beers is preparing to destroy the Earth with his signature giant ki sphere, Gokuu struggles to get back on his feet. “Is my stamina gone already?!”

Episode #8:
A Part: With Beers’ attack coming straight at him, Son Gokuu’s life flashes before his eyes. Everything comes back to wanting to be the best. Suddenly, Gokuu stands tall and unleashes the mightiest Kamehame-Ha of his life, sending Beers’ attack right back at him. Gokuu flies into space and confronts Beers, calling it frustrating that he could only make it this far because of help from others. This amuses Beers, but he must still receive an answer for the insult brought against him: “Admit defeat, Son Gokuu.” Beers offers no reward in exchange for such an admission. Finally, Gokuu acquiesces, “You win, Beers-sama.”
B Part: Silence, for the longest time. Finally, Beers knocks Gokuu back down to Earth, where he is soon protected by his friends and family. “It’s time for me to destroy the Earth,” Beers somewhat musingly purrs. Silence, still. Before emotional pleas can break out from his would be victims, Beers fires his blast at the ground…but it can only destroy a single rock! “Whoops, used up all my ki screwing around. Come, Whis, we’re going home.” Beers turns and takes his leave. Confusion defines the scene as the crowd ponders what they just experienced. Finally, Gokuu bursts into laughing in realization and the others soon follow.

Golden Freeza Arc:

Episode #9:
A Part: A few days have passed since Son Gokuu became a Super Saiyan God and did battle with Destruction God Beers. Gokuu has returned to training, via meditation, to better control his ki and achieve Super Saiyan God without the help of others. Chichi, of course, wants Gokuu to get back to farming their daikon, but that seems a little far off at this rate. Meanwhile, Vegeta learns that Whis is visiting with Blooma on a date. Vegeta tries to convince Whis to train him, but Whis is more interested in trying new foods. Finally, Vegeta sets about showing off his own culinary skills. Impressed, Whis accepts Vegeta as his student.
B Part: Vegeta and Whis return to Beers’ planet. Vegeta’s training begins immediately: he must clean their giant castle wearing weights that require his ki to be at its maximum simply to move a little. Meanwhile, Gokuu achieves transforming into Super Saiyan God at will.

Episode #10:
A Part: Some months have passed since the battle with Beers. Videl is due to deliver any day now. Meanwhile, Gokuu completes his current round of training, which sets off earthquakes and flooding. Later, Gokuu decides to visit Vegeta for some sparring…but according to Blooma, Vegeta is off training with Whis-san! “Eh?!” Gokuu desperately searches for Beers, Whis or Vegeta’s ki, but cannot find it. Vegeta hasn’t been home to visit in a month which is annoying Blooma: “I have needs, too!” Gokuu desperately asks Blooma if she has any way of getting in contact with Whis, to which she answers but one: presenting something delicious while yelling his name really loudly. It works! But before Gokuu can run off with the newly arrived Beers, Whis and Vegeta a phone call from Chichi cuts in: “Videl-san is goin’ into labor!”
B Part: Chaos ensues as Gohan, Videl and Chichi try to find a parking spot at the hospital. Gokuu’s group tries to find the right hospital room, but doctors are in short supply due to recent natural disasters! Finally, Piccolo-san appears in scrubs and delivers the baby in the middle of a crowded hospital commissary (Beers and Whis love the food). Baby Pan-chan is born! “We should have another one, Vegeta!” comments Blooma. Vegeta shoots back with “I have training to finish!” “Whis-san, please train me, too!” Blooma laments her predicament, but supplies Vegeta with a new battle jacket and gray under suit to replace his currently shabby suit. “Ara, since Vegeta-san has new armor, perhaps Gokuu-san should, too?” Whis transforms Gokuu’s dougi into a new red one, too. Gokuu and Vegeta bid the others farewell and return to Beers’ planet.

Episode #11:
A Part: Gokuu and Vegeta begin training. Gokuu finds himself one step behind Vegeta at everything they do thanks to Vegeta’s head start. Nevertheless, Gokuu is Gokuu and quickly catches up.
B Part: Sixteen years earlier, news of Freeza’s death hits his empire. Chief Advisor Sorbet quickly takes command to try and maintain order. In the following days it becomes clear that Freeza’s empire is doing poorly in quelling resistance groups on the worlds they have conquered. When news of Freeza’s death leaks the resistance groups become even harder to control.

Episode #12:
A Part: To help control the increasingly rowdy worlds under the command of the Freeza Empire, Sorbet assigns his right hand man and strongest warrior, Tagoma, to recruiting mercenaries to bolster their forces. Tagoma comes across a man named Shisami. The two eventually fight as a way of greetings and Shisami accepts the offer, for a high price.
B Part: With Shisami’s help Sorbet retakes and maintains several worlds. Shisami and a reluctant Tagoma quiz Sorbet on what his long-term plan is. Maintaining the empire without an overwhelming force like Freeza is exceedingly difficult, to say nothing of trying to grow the empire. “It’ll also become hard for you to afford the fee for us mercenaries,” adds Shisami. Sorbet wants to stick to Freeza-sama’s plan to conquer the universe, but at the rate things are going…wait a second, wasn’t Freeza-sama after the wish-granting Dragon Balls? Perhaps they could restore Freeza-sama to life? But nobody knows where the new Namekian home world is! And Earth is protected by that damned Saiyan, Son Gokuu. “It can’t be helped,” Sorbet adds, “We’ll focus on developing and acquiring technologies to help increase our soldiers’ combat power. After that, we’ll go to Earth and use the Dragon Balls to revive Freeza-sama!”

Episode #13:
A Part: One year after the battle with Beers, Sorbet and Tagoma go to Earth. The duo threatens the Pilaf Gang into giving them the Dragon Balls, just when they are about to make their wish they are interrupted by Sorbet and Tagoma. Sorbet asks Shen Long to revive Freeza, but Shen Long can only revive him to the form he was in last alive, a bunch of bits-and-pieces. Sorbet agrees and once Freeza’s tiny pieces rain from the sky on the group of five. Sorbet then revives Freeza’s Papa, Great King Cold, with the second wish and Shuu asks Shen Long for a bunch of money with the third. Sorbet and Tagoma then take their fallen kings back to the empire to be healed. Back in the empire, Freeza’s body is restored and he is reverted to his first form. Cold is also healed. Once finished, Freeza swears revenge on Son Gokuu and the Saiyan that killed him, but first he will train, something he has never done before. Although miffed about dying, Cold isn’t particularly interested in being subjected to the torture he experienced in Hell again, but Freeza isn’t having any of it. He will undergo training so Hellish it will make his time in Hell pale in comparison.
B Part: Freeza, wrapped up in a cocoon tied to a tree in Hell, is tortured by dancing and singing angles and stuff animals playing instruments. As the music grows more and more suffocating Freeza finally wakes from his nightmare after having been knocked unconscious by attacks by Tagoma, Shisami and Papa. Huffing and puffing, Freeza rushes forward at all three. Sometime later, Galaxy Patrolman Jako arrives at Capsule Corp. After admonishing Doctor Brief for calling him ‘Zako-kun’, Jako tells Blooma that the evil space Emperor, Freeza, has somehow been revived!

Episode #14:
A Part: Jako tells Blooma of how Freeza’s forces have recently started re-growing their empire, now faster than ever! Word on the street is that now Freeza is coming to Earth with one thousand elite soldiers to extract revenge on the Saiyans. Blooma informs Whis-san of this, so he, Beers, Gokuu and Vegeta return to Earth. Beers is a little miffed to see that Freeza has been revived, considering how much of a “snotty brat” he was and tells Gokuu and Vegeta to hurry up and defeat him. Gokuu is excited to get a chance to fight Freeza again and wonders if he’s gotten any stronger since being revived. Gokuu recruits Kuririn—now a police officer—after Kuririn engages in a car chase with bank robbers. Reluctant at first, Kuririn remembers how useless he was when Beers was threatening the planet, and agrees to join up with Gokuu. Kuririn has Artificial Human #18 shave his head and dons his dougi once again. Last time, #18 got to show off how cool she was by protecting him and Marron-chan. This time he wants to do the same for her. As Kuririn flies off to join up with Gokuu and the others again, Artificial Human #18 says to herself: “How cool…”
B Part: Sensing Freeza’s ki growing closer, Gokuu, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Kuririn, Tenshinhan and the Muten Roushi travel to the outskirts of North City. Blooma, Jako, Whis and Beers also appear. Beers has no intentions of involving himself in Gokuu’s mess, but the potential to see Freeza get slapped around is too good to pass up. When Kuririn asks where Goten, Trunks and Majin Buu are, Blooma explains that Majin Buu is in a deep sleep and Goten and Trunks aren’t the sort to take a fight seriously, so they’ll just get in the way. Freeza’s rather massive ship lands and he and one thousand soldiers exit the ship. With a single blast, Freeza obliterates North City before the Dragon Team can react. Gokuu and Freeza banter for a bit. Freeza tells his men to cause as much destruction as they please, but to leave Son Gokuu to him. Freeza transforms into his fourth form right off the bat, destroying his hover chair in the process. Nervous, Kuririn, the Muten Roushi, Piccolo, Gohan, Tenshinhan, Jako and Piccolo face down one thousand of Freeza’s elite soldiers. Meanwhile, Vegeta faces off with the Great King Cold.

Episode #15:
A Part: The Great King Cold laments to Vegeta how his son’s obsession is just going to get him into trouble again, “We’ve got much better things to do with our time.” Meanwhile, the others do battle with the top members of Freeza’s army, now refined by years of training and new weapons technologies. It’s a bit of a struggle, especially for the rusty Kuririn. Cornered, Kuririn is about to be hacked in half by one of Freeza’s men!
B Part: Piccolo engages in battle with Shisami. Although Piccolo has the superior combat techniques his opponent boasts both experience and raw physical strength. The rusty Son Gohan, meanwhile, struggles against the technique-adept and dexterities Tagoma.

Episode #16:
A Part: Gokuu and Freeza clash. Freeza comments that he is surprised how powerful Gokuu has become without the need to transform into a Super Saiyan. Of course, he still has power in waiting, too. Meanwhile, Kuririn is saved from decapitation by Jako, who is quite surprised at the strength of the Earthlings. The Muten Roushi’s techniques and command of ki give him an advantage over the less refine martial arts and weapons-based combat abilities of Freeza’s men, but eventually their greater numbers chip away at his stamina and focus and he begins to accumulate damage quicker. Meanwhile, Tenshinhan observes that nobody dares to attack Blooma because of how close she is to Beers and Whis. Just how infamous is Destruction God Beers?
B Part: Vegeta and Cold continue their talk in between bursts of fighting. Vegeta comments on how both he and Freeza have become quite a bit stronger since they last came to Earth. “Speaking of which, where is that young man that greeted us last time?” “Oh, he returned to the future.” “What?!” Meanwhile, Freeza and Gokuu find themselves mostly even. Freeza’s ki control has improved since last time, definitely, but it’s his increased hand-to-hand ability that is definitely proving to be the biggest challenge to Gokuu. “I guess we’ll have to stop holding back and play our trump cards to see who the best is really!”

Episode #17:
A Part: Piccolo and Super Saiyan Gohan struggle against Shisami and Tagoma respectively. They’re both facing their worst possible type of opponent. Finally, backs together, they realize they can just switch foes! Gohan, who specializes in raw power, faces off with the brutal crushing strength of Shisami, while the technique and speed-oriented Piccolo faces off with the tricky, dirty Tagoma. The fights become much more even after the switch, but Shisami and Tagoma are not slow to adapt to the sudden change in dance partners.
B Part: Kuririn, Jako, Tenshinhan and the Muten Roushi find themselves at the end of their ropes again the brutally numerous Freeza soldiers. Surrounded, the four work in an off-the-cuff combination play based on the Muten Roushi’s lead and are able to take out a large portion of Freeza’s forces at once. Half a mile away, Freeza takes note of his soldiers’ failures and tells Shisami and Tagoma to back off. After the two lieutenants have gotten a safe distance away, Freeza explodes the ground beneath the others. Gokuu narrowly saves Kuririn, Jako, Tenshinhan and the Muten Roushi from death thanks to his Instantaneous Movement. “Useless trash,” Freeza comments with an exaggerated curling of his lips. Shisami, Tagoma and Sorbet look at each other, conflicted. “Now then, allow us to get back to it. Behold the form of your death!” Freeza erupts in a golden aura and transforms into a gold and purple form: “The naming is a little tacky, but perhaps we can call this ‘Golden Freeza’?” Freeza’s ki places the others under a lot of pressure. Gokuu follows Freeza by transforming into a new transformation, too. It’s his usual Super Saiyan form, but with a blue hair and aura! “I suppose you can call this ‘Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan’,” Gokuu states. The episode ends with the two charging toward one another.

Episode #18:
A Part: Vegeta battles Cold while Gokuu battles Freeza. The two intense battles shake the planet feverishly. Gokuu loses ground against a Freeza who is now completely charged with unrestrained mania. Nevertheless, even at a disadvantage, Gokuu is exceedingly calm. Meanwhile, Kuririn and the others heal their injuries with senzu as they view the battle.
B Part: Freeza’s ki becomes increasingly erratic. Cold breaks from his battle with Vegeta and deals a little damage to Gokuu through a sneak attack blast through Gokuu’s left backside. Gokuu recovers enough to gain some distance from the father and son. Freeza is furious at Cold for intervening, but Cold admonishes him for playing around so much. Now he’s losing because he hasn’t learned to control his new form well enough. Cold unveils his own ‘Golden’ form and begins battling Gokuu in Freeza’s place. Vegeta transforms into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and begins to battle Freeza. Freeza’s rage reaches a boiling point and finally explodes: Freeza blasts Cold through his chest from behind and begins furiously pounding on him. Sorbet and the others are horrified. Finally, Freeza blows Cold to bits and returns his attention to the Son Gokuu.

Episode #19:
A Part: Vegeta reluctantly offers to help Gokuu, but Gokuu just doesn’t like the idea of fighting together, especially not against Freeza. Vegeta calls him an idiot. The battle becomes worse and worse for Gokuu, who just doesn’t have Freeza’s raw power and genetic genius. Even Gohan and the others consider joining in to save the pummeled Gokuu. Finally, Freeza pins down Gokuu and prepares to obliterate him and the Earth with a close-range blast, but suddenly, a blast erupts through his side!
B Part: Sorbet has shot Freeza with his ring weapon! Everyone is flabbergasted, especially Freeza! Shisami and Tagoma double-team Freeza, pounding him and blasting him in his state of shock. Finally, Freeza reverts to his normal form. “W-why?!” he gasps. Sorbet explains that Freeza-sama not only killed a thousand of their best men, but his own father, to say nothing of being about to destroy the Earth and them along with it! “You’ve lost your way, Freeza-sama! The empire is doomed to fall under your rule!!” Combining their attacks, Sorbet, Shisami and Tagoma return Freeza to Hell.

Episode #20:
A Part: Gokuu is none-too-pleased by Sorbet robbing him of his battle with Freeza, but in his current injured state cannot move very well. Vegeta considers attacking, but Beers stops him, displaying amusement at Freeza’s downfall. Sorbet and the others pick up their remnants and fly off into space, washing their hands of the curse of Son Gokuu. “Ah!” exclaims Jako suddenly, “This means the Galaxy Patrol doesn’t have to worry about Freeza now! I wonder if we’ll given them a medal or something…” but Blooma reminds him that those three will probably run Freeza’s empire on their own now.
B Part: At the after party, Gokuu laments his unresolved battle with Freeza. Beers tells Gokuu that it’s his own fault for not accepting help, but Whis proposes that “Letting the others help him would have been even worse for a fellow like Son Gokuu-san”. Meanwhile, Kuririn reunites with his family and Mai reunites with Trunks, telling him of the scary affair with Freeza’s men. In Hell, Freeza’s torture by the angels and stuffed animals resumes: “NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Destruction God Champa Arc

Episode #21:
A Part: While training on Beers’ planet, Gokuu and Vegeta meet Sixth Universe Destruction God Champa and his attendant, Vados, who is also Whis’ elder sister. Champa becomes jealous of the food that Beers has access to from Earth and is even more envious when Vados tells him that their Earth no longer exists due to civil war destroying it. Champa challenges Beers to a martial arts match. Since they can’t fight without endangering their universes they’ll have five warriors from each fight in a special tournament. Whoever has the most men standing at the end of the tournament can have the Super Dragon Balls that Champa has gathered. “But just so you know, if I win I’m taking your Earth!” The tournament will be held in five days!
B Part: Dende restores the Room of Spirit and Time so that Gokuu and Vegeta can train in there. After two days of waiting, Gokuu and Vegeta spend the next three days in the room training. A single year inside the room is only a single day outside, which means the Saiyans can accomplish three years of training in just three days. Meanwhile, Piccolo and Majin Buu agree to join the team of the Seventh Universe while Beers recruits the mightiest foe he has ever faced in the Seventh Universe, other than Whis, of course.

Episode #22:
A Part: The day of the tournament has come! Everyone gathers at Capsule Corp to travel to the planet where the tournament in being held. Gokuu and Vegeta are the last to arrive, both now sporting beards. Whis restores their clothes and whisks the group away to the tournament grounds.
B Part: The fighters of the Sixth Universe are introduced. Champa cannot remember Hit’s name, so he continually calls him ‘Shit’ (シット).

Episode #23:
A Part: Gokuu battles Botamo, a being with incredible bounciness. When blunt force fails to hurt Botamo, Gokuu attempts to throw him out of the ring and attacks indirectly, but Botamo has long overcome that sort of strategy. Finally, Gokuu focuses his ki into a ‘piercing punch’, but the sudden sharpening of his fist and the reverberating of Botamo’s body enacts damage to Gokuu’s right fist and arm. Gokuu wins the first match, but now must hide his injury.
B Part: Gokuu battles Frost. At first Gokuu seems to have the advantage, but Frost soon reveals his wartime experience has taught him to detect when his opponent is injured. Gokuu soon begins to strain his body in his attempts to cover up his earlier damage and Frost takes advantage of that by transforming into his third form, which specializes in defense and raiding large groups of enemies. Gokuu soon realizes he runs the risk of hurting his left hand, too. Gokuu raises his base form’s ki to its uppermost level to try and finish off Frost quickly with a ring-out, but Frost uses the explosive energy from transforming into his fourth form to avoid the ring-out.

Episode #24:
A Part: Seeking to end the battle quickly, before Gokuu unveils any more surprises, Frost uses his secret poison hidden in his wrist. Gokuu passes out almost immediately and Frost is declared the winner. Piccolo steps up to face Frost and reclaim the Seventh Universe’s lead. Piccolo knows he’s at a disadvantage against Frost’s newly risen ki and physical speed, but shedding that armor-esque third form has also reduced his defense. Piccolo goes for a blitzkrieg to end the battle quickly and uses his various techniques and demon arts to shock-and-awe Frost. Finally, Piccolo wraps up Frost in his elongated arm and prepares to defeat him with his Makankou-sappou, but…
B Part: …Frost uses the same poison barb hidden in his wrist to inject Piccolo with poison, knocking him out. Now the score is 2-1 in favor of the Sixth Universe! Jako notices the weapon Frost has been hiding and calls him out on it. Under threat of death by Champa, Frost admits that he’s harboring a concealed poison barb. War has taught him that there are no cheap tricks in combat, especially when one’s life and responsibilities are on the line. As such, Frost stands his ground and refuses to accept any sort of disqualification. This gutsy display wins over Champa and he stands by his player. Beers isn’t particularly sympathetic given that his Seventh Universe’s Earth is on the line and counters that adhering to the agreed upon rules of no weapons is also in line with Frost’s argument. After all, this will mean that Vegeta will have to fight three opponents in a row, Beers argues. Gokuu asks “What about Monaka?” only to be told to “Shut up!” Finally, Vegeta says he will fight Frost, no matter the challenge he will face as a result. Vegeta raises his normal ki to its upper limit and skillfully matches Frost blow-for-blow, even dodging Frost’s poison barb. “But how long can this last?” Piccolo wonders aloud.

Episode #25:
A Part: Vegeta breaks off Frost’s arms so that he can use neither, but it turns out that there’s a barb hidden in Frost’s tail, too! Vegeta is struck on the cheek, but since the poison is not injected into him he manages to avoid the full effect of the poison and sends Frost flying outside of the ring. Although it was only a small bit of poison, Vegeta and the others figure it’s only a matter of time before the poison kicks in and effects Vegeta. “Vegeta-san will have to win these next three matches quickly,” Whis notes.
B Part: Vegeta battles Magetta next. Magetta’s lava-based food makes his body incredibly hot, thus making physical attacks unwieldy. However, the poison spreading through Vegeta’s body is chewing through his ki quickly, so if he’s going to last very long he’ll need to retain as much ki as possible. Of course, the barrier created by Whis and Vados to retain oxygen is so densely packed that the heat waves just bounce off of it and swarm around the planet, making everyone miserable. Champa interrupts the battle so that Vados can enact a second barrier, specifically around the ring. Beers argues that he’s just made it even harder for Vegeta to win! Champa retorts by asking if he wants to suffer through the heat, which quiets Beers down. Meanwhile, Vegeta begins tearing up the tiles from the combat ring and throwing them down at Magetta to try and knock him into the ground below, but it’s not doing much good. Finally, Magetta begins spewing out a stream of lava, with Vegeta dodging. There’s not much he can do to attack and all of the dodging is only draining Vegeta’s ki further. Backed into a corner with no way out except through, Vegeta transforms into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and hits Magetta in a flash of blue lightning.

Episode #26:
A Part: Champa’s group is shocked by Vegeta’s transformation. None of them, even Cabba, knew that Saiyans could transform. With Magetta defeated and time running out, Vegeta hurriedly tells the next opponent to get into the ring. Cabba steps up to the challenge only to soon find himself at the mercy of a ruthless Vegeta. Although time is running out, Vegeta still wants to try and test Cabba, so he threatens to kill Cabba’s family.
B Part: Vegeta plays the coldblooded villain to draw out Cabba’s strength and the young Saiyan finally transforms into a Super Saiyan. Nevertheless, Cabba is still helpless against Vegeta and loses.

Episode #27:
A Part: An exhausted Vegeta is handedly pummels by Hit, the mightiest assassin of the Sixth Universe with a career spanning one thousand years. Vegeta uses the last of his strength to slam a close range blast into Hit’s chest, but there is no visible damage done, only ash left behind. Finally, Vegeta passes out. All that remains is Monaka.
B Part: Beers panics. “If Monaka fights…” Whis casually reminds Beers that Gokuu and Piccolo were cheated out of their victories. Although the poison has mostly worn off they’re both going to be exhausted, so both would be needed to fight Hit. Beers argues that he ought to get compensation for Champa’s dirty tricks, so Champa and Hit agree to allow Gokuu and Piccolo to team-up to fight Hit. “I kinda don’t like it,” Gokuu mentions aloud, “But I need to try to save stamina so I won’t be able to use Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan”. The duo of Son Gokuu and Piccolo Daimaou reunite in combat for the first time since the battle with Raditz! Using various martial arts techniques in rapid repetition, Gokuu and Piccolo force Hit to play a sort of game of tag that prevents him from fighting at his own pace. The tension grows thicker and thicker as the usually cold ace becomes less and less able to use his time-skipping abilities.

Episode #28:
A Part: Hit erupts in anger at how Gokuu and Piccolo are restraining him. Digging deeper than he has had to in centuries, Hit outsmarts Piccolo and almost knocks him out of the ring. The once Daimaou is saved only by Gokuu, who uses his Instantaneous Movement to arrive just in the nick of time. “There’s no getting around it anymore,” Piccolo tells Gokuu, “You’ll have to use that ‘Super Saiyan Blue’”. “Hey, don’t change the name!” Gokuu counters. Nevertheless, Gokuu agrees and speeds up his own countdown by transforming. The duo try to resume their strategy, but now that Gokuu is so much faster than Piccolo they’re out of synch, which makes it even easier for the newly warmed-up Hit to disrupt their rhythm and capture the pace. With his right arm still pretty much useless for channeling ki or punching particularly hard, Gokuu is at an even greater disadvantage. With their strategies proving only a nuisance and the clock ticking fast, Gokuu decides to rely on his last trump card.
B Part: “Don’t do it, you know what happened last time,” Vegeta thinks to himself. A flashback to Gokuu and Vegeta’s training in the Room of Spirit and Time reveals that while searching for ways to increase his power, Gokuu begins to experiment with using the Kaiou-ken while a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. The form certainly has better ki control, something that the earlier forms lacked, which makes it easier to use the Kaiou-ken, but just using the technique over a few minutes left Gokuu’s ki out of whack for an entire month during their three years of training within the room. “I guess I can’t use the Kaiou-ken unless I’m about to die,” Gokuu ponders aloud. Back in the present, Vegeta can’t help but shake his head, “Only you would compare losing a tournament for sport to death.” Initiating the Kaiou-ken, Gokuu matches Hit’s speed at last. In fact, the two warriors battle at such a speed that only Beers, Champa, Whis, Vados, Vegeta and Jako can see them. Whis and Vados create a screen capable of showing the movements of the characters slowed down enough for viewing. Even Piccolo finds himself stuck watching it. Gokuu and Hit seem evenly matched, until Gokuu knocks Hit into the barrier surrounding the ring and unleashes the mightiest Kamehame-Ha he can muster through his feet. The blast pushes Hit against the barrier, practically crushing him and forcing him to take the brunt of the attack. “That’s cheating!” Champa exclaims, “Vados, get rid of that barrier!” The barrier disappears, thus giving Hit more room to push back against the Kamehame-Ha. Finally, the two colliding ki explode, but when the dust clears Hit is still standing—rather, levitating in the air—while Gokuu has dropped to his knees and returned to his normal form. Hit smirks, only to vomit blood right afterward. “Is it a draw?!” asks Blooma. “Don’t underestimate me,” calls Piccolo from afar. A spiraling, piercing light erupts through the ash mark left on Hit’s chest by Vegeta’s final attack. “Shit!” Champa shrieks in terror as his ace drops to the ring floor, unresponsive.

Episode #29:
A Part: Hit is unresponsive after taking a Makankou-sappou to the chest. “Wait, did we have a no-killing rule?” asks Champa before proceeding to pull out an obscenely large rule book. Tossing a dress coat over his shoulder and covering his eyes with a black fedora, a suit-clad Beers walks away from the stands after lighting a cigarette. “Prepare some nice flowers, Whis—for the funeral.” Champa immediately tackles Beers and begins pulling at his cheeks, with Beers returning the favor. The two squabble and throw insults while the others assess the situation. Although the Seventh Universe is declared the winner, Gokuu is disappointed that he couldn’t defeat Hit on his own. In fact, even if they have both fought in top form he gets the feeling he would’ve lost. Gokuu’s body begins to spasm from using the Kaiou-ken. Ki with a wild and uncontrolled texture begins spewing from Gokuu’s body with a piercing, light ray effect. Whis and Vados protect the audience while the combatants try to get closer to Gokuu. “Damn, you’ve really done it this time, Kakarrot!” “Son’s ki is running wild. Is it because of the Kaiou-ken?!” “We’ll have to use my poison to pacify his body!” Everyone is so drained or injured they cannot make it past the rays of torrential storm of ki. Finally, a cute voice splits open the heavens. “Aww, it was getting to be so much fun!”
B Part: Three figures descend from the split in the heavens. It’s…”Zen-Ou-sama!” Beers and Champa quit their squabbling and present themselves alongside Whis, Vados and the Kaiou-shin. The Zen-Ou bypasses the lower gods and walks straight through the storm of destructive ki pouring out of Gokuu. With a simple tap, the Zen-Ou quells Gokuu’s ki. Gokuu thanks him and the duo brews up a camaraderie that shocks and frightens Beers and Champa. The Zen-Ou admonishes Beers and Champa for holding a tournament between universes without his approval, but says it was a lot of fun to watch, so he’ll let it slide. “We should do this with all of the universes!” Says the almighty god. Gokuu agrees, but first he needs to train. The Zen-Ou bids everyone farewell and returns home, but not before telling someone to tend to Hit’s injuries. “Shit, he’s still alive?!” Champa is horrified. That means he can’t argue a victory in his name due to murder. Beers laughs and says it’s time to use the Super Dragon Balls. The Nameless Planet that the tournament is being held on is revealed to actually be the final Super Dragon Ball, only covered in debris. Super Shen Long is summoned and is revealed to be massive in size. Super Shen Long asks for a wish to grant and Beers speaks it, but since the two are speaking the language of the gods nobody knows what he’s asked for. Beers claims he simply wished for a comfier bed, but in reality he asked for the restoration of the Earth of the Sixth Universe. Later, Gokuu bids the fighters from the Sixth Universe farewell and promises to have a proper fight with Hit the next time they meet.

Future Trunks Arc

Episode #30:
A Part: Future Trunks runs through the city carrying fuel for the time machine, ever cautious of being followed. Finally arriving at the location of Future Blooma and Future Mai, Trunks and the others load the time machine with fuel; however, before the trio can travel to the past they are attacked by a shadowy figure. The figure grabs Future Blooma and kills her, shocking Trunks.
B Part: Mai convinces Trunks to get into the time machine while she provides a distraction, but when the shadowy figure causes the ground below to begin collapsing Mai falls to an apparent death. Trunks, enraged, attacks the figure, now revealed to be…Son Gokuu? This Son Gokuu is dressed in black, however, and is referred to by Trunks merely as ‘Black’. Trunks is thoroughly thrashed by Black and forced to swallow his pride and retreat to the past using the time machine.

Episode #31:
A Part: In the Present, Trunks and the Pilaf Gang are being tutored, but their peaceful day is interrupted by the shocking appearance of an unconscious adult Trunks in a time machine. Everyone gathers after the arrival of Future Trunks. After being fed a senzu Future Trunks awakens, sees Gokuu, and erupts in rage, experiencing a PTSD-esque flashback.
B Part: Gokuu and Vegeta subdue Future Trunks and explain that Gokuu eventually had his life restored. Future Trunks gives a short explanation of what has happened since he last saw the others. Gokuu Black appears in the past thanks to the power of the Time Ring. Gokuu battles him until Black is forcibly sent back to the past.

Episode #32:
A Part: Trunks visits with all of his other friends from the past. Seeking strength in seeing his mentor, Son Gohan, again, Trunks comes to the realization that although the Gohan from the past is an adult now, he is not the Son Gohan he knew and now leads a life away from battle. Trunks resolves to not tell Gohan of why he has come back to the past and instead begins training with Vegeta.
B Part: Beers, Whis and Gokuu visit the Kaiou-shin of the Tenth Universe, Gowasu. Gowasu is training his student, Zamasu, to take over as the next Kaiou-shin for the Tenth Universe. Beers asks to see the Time Rings under Gowasu’s care, to which the Kaiou-shin obliges. They’re all accounted for! Having met Son Gokuu, Zamasu is shocked to see a human so friendly with gods. After hearing that Gokuu even survived a battle with Beers, Zamasu accepts Gokuu’s challenge for a sparring match to see what is so special about him. While it seems to be a good match, in the end Gokuu is victorious. Gokuu again notes that Zamasu is really strong for a Kaiou, being even stronger than the Kaiou-shin of the Seventh Universe! “Let’s fight again sometime!” Having seen the Time Rings, Beers and Whis are content to leave, as they cannot miss eating dessert. Heading home, the trio discuss that what they saw of Zamasu supports their suspicions that he and Black are one and the same. Perhaps they should destroy him now? But Gokuu says Zamasu did not seem like such a bad guy. Besides, while similar, his ki is not exactly the same as Black’s. Still, the way his hand went numb when he hit Zamasu reminds Gokuu of when he fought Beers. Beers is angry at being lumped in with Zamasu, insisting that he is on a far higher level. However, Goku thinks that Zamasu still has room to improve, and may someday grow to be as scary a god as Beers. Back in the Tenth Universe, Zamasu thanks Gowasu for allowing him to fight Gokuu. Gowasu thinks this helped Zamasu gain a deeper understanding of mortals, and relieved some of the distrust he feels toward them. Zamasu says he is embarrassed to realize how inexperienced he is, which Gowasu says is proof that he has grown. Gowasu asks Zamasu for another cup of tea, which Zamasu obediently pours. But Zamasu’s thoughts tell a different story: “I knew it, mortals are dangerous. Son Gokuu, I won’t forget this!

Episode #33:
A Part: On their way back to the Seventh Universe, Beers and his group are contacted by the Zen-Ou, who wishes to meet with Son Gokuu! Vegeta trains Trunks. Gowasu trains Zamasu in the role of a Kaiou-shin, but Zamasu's contempt grows more and more, leading him to interfere in the development of a species and kill Babarians. Gowasu scolds Zamasu for this and revokes his Potara. Gokuu, Beers and Whis visit the Zen-Ou. Zen-Ou wants Gokuu to be his friend and play, but Gokuu finds that to be too much of a bother, so he promises to find 'Zen-chan' a friend.
B Part: Vegeta, Trunks and Gokuu head to the future. There they are confronted by Black, now more powerful than ever and sporting a transformation of his own, Super Saiyan Rosé. Shockingly, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta is critically injured when Black stabs him in the back.

Episode #34:
A Part: Zamasu serves tea to Gowasu, who is watching a replay of the Seventh Universe-Sixth Universe Tournament. Zamasu is shocked to find Son Gokuu fighting as a representative of a god in a tournament, to say nothing of capable of using god ki. Zamasu next notices the Super Dragon Balls orbiting the tournament arena. Gowasu explains the Super Dragon Balls to Zamasu, who takes careful note. In the future timeline, Super Saiyan Rosé Black proves an equal-match for the tag-team of Gokuu and Trunks. Finally, a blast from behind stuns Gokuu long enough for Black to deliver a critical blow. The one who attacked is...Zamasu? Somehow, Zamasu and Black are comrades! Trunks stabs Zamasu with a full-power sword attack, but Zamasu removes the sword and tosses it aside. The wound quickly heals as Zamasu explains he is now immortal.
B Part: Future Mai and Future Yajirobe save Gokuu, Vegeta and Trunks and pull them to safety. Thanks to senzu brought with them from the past the three recover and consider their options. Trunks is happy to see that his Mai survived somehow. Zamasu and Gowasu discuss philosophy while Zamasu serves tea. Beers, Whis and the Kaiou-shin of the Seventh Universe continue to watch closely. Gowasu's not oblivious to the cruelty growing in his pupil. Worse, he believes he can reason with Zamasu and thus shows no outward sign of irregularity. Finally, Gowasu drinks his cooled tea, but suffers a painful death from the poison poured into it.

Episode #35:
A Part: Whis rewinds time to before Gowasu's death so that Beers can confront and kill Zamasu. Gowasu is shocked at the development and Beers mentions in an off-the-cuff manner that he probably should’ve let Gowasu die for being such a sentimental, contemptible fool, but Whis reminds him that it would only cause him a headache later when the Destruction God of the Tenth Universe found out.
B Part: With Zamasu being immortal it appears unlikely that he can be defeated in combat. As Vegeta and the others wrack their brain over what they can do next, Trunks remembers a story his mother told him of how the MaFuuBa was used by Piccolo at the Twenty-Third Tenka’ichi Budoukai to seal away God. Gokuu isn’t exactly excited to resort to such a tactic to defeat Black and Zamasu, but agrees that Trunks should go and get Piccolo so he can use the technique. Just then, Black and Zamasu finally track down Gokuu and friends’ ki and attack. Trunks returns to the past while Gokuu and Vegeta hold off Black and Zamasu. Soon after, Trunks returns with Piccolo and Blooma, who reckons that her help will be needed to help fashion more fuel for the time machine. Gokuu and Vegeta outsmart the arrogant duo of Zamasu long enough to force them within close enough approximation that Piccolo can use the MaFuuBa on both at the same time. The two struggle against the MaFuuBa more than Piccolo can handle with so much less ki than both and the sealing fails. Desperate to finish of their enemies, Zamasu and Black merge using the Potara.

Episode #36:
A Part: Merged Zamasu’s ki oozes from his body and alone threatens to destroy the solar system. Gokuu and Vegeta cannot even get near him! Gowasu and the Kaiou-shin of the Seventh Universe arrive on the scene thanks to the use of Time Rings. Whis and Beers also arrive, although Beers is clearly displeased to be there “I’ve already played my part!” he says. Rolling his eyes, Whis loudly talks to himself about how it sure would be helpful if Gokuu and Vegeta worked together to fight Zamasu. Finally, Gokuu and Vegeta swallow their pride and ask for Potara, too! Vegetto is reformed!
B: Part: Vegetto transforms into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and engages in battle with Zamasu at full power. The battle is magnificent, but it becomes clear that the merger for both combatants is imperfect. Gokuu and Vegeta are two separate beings at heart and can never become one completely, so it places incredible strain on their life. Meanwhile, Merged Zamasu is simply the same soul combined with itself. The body of Merged Zamasu begins to break down even faster as a result, allowing for Trunks to deliver a finishing blow that saves Vegetto from certain death.

Episode #37:
A Part: Zamasu crumbles, but his hatred goes on. Vegetto splits back into Gokuu and Vegeta before they can attempt to dispel Zamasu’s wicked ki. According to Gowasu, a Potara merger without a Kaioushin involved can last only an hour at most, but it seems that in this case they already burned through the Potara’s energy. Zamasu’s anguish allows his spirit to take the form of a purple and pink cloud of death. The cloud suffocates the world, killing nearly all of the inhabitants. Gokuu uses the button given to him by the Present Zen-Ou to summon the Future Zen-Ou. Future Zen-Ou finds Zamasu to be a real headache, so he destroys him instantaneously. Finding the entire universe to be a pain, Zen-Ou then destroys the Future Seventh Universe. Gokuu and friends barely escape in time via the time machine.
B Part: Back in the present, Gokuu introduces Future Zen-Ou to Present Zen-Ou to be his friend. Trunks and Mai bid Gokuu and the others farewell as they embark on repairing the future and the next chapter of their lives.

[Saikyo no Senshi]

That was interesting. The best part was the climax of the F arc though. Freeza getting owned by Sorbet and Tagoma was hilarious

Also, I like how you had Piccolo more involved in the Champa and Gokuu Black story arcs. It does bother me sometimes not as much as the hardcore Piccolo fans, but to a slight extent that Super hasn't had much Piccolo involvement.

Anyways, that was a fun summary!

I threw in more Piccolo as a twist, but I kind of regret not removing the MaFuuBa. It's a nice reference to the past, but ultimately serves no purpose.

Gokuu isn't the sort to learn it, either, so it seems even less useful.

[Saikyo no Senshi]

Yeah, the MaFuuBa was pointless. The arc would've been a lot better pacing wise if the whole MaFuuBa thing never existed.

[dbs fanboy]

Now i kinda want to take your version of RoF's ending as the canon one, it's hilarious andmuch better than Whis-ex machina and Goku getting the kill.

[JulieYBM]

I wasn't even thinking about it, but I totally just forgot to include showing off Whis' abilty in that arc. I did use it in the Future Trunks arc, though.
