Synopsis
Five years after Goku's departure with Oob during the 28th Tenka'ichi Budoukai, the Pilaf Gang secretly scale God's Temple in search for the Ultimate Dragon Balls. Simultaneously, Goku & Oob are sparring in a room created specially for the two to go all out one last time without harming the Earth below. Popo is instructed to see to their injuries immediately after they collapse from their fun.
Finding their treasure, Pilaf exposits they are instead marked with black stars and were supposedly created by the previous God before he expelled the Great Demon King Piccolo. Mai thinks that they must be more powerful since they were crafted before the previous God divided his strength via splitting from his evil. Oob is ready to part with Goku to see his siblings and Goku is just glad to have trained him at all, agreeing that he should go home, too, since he'd been away for years.
World domination for the Pilaf Gang is imminent so they must make haste before interruption. Unfortunately for them, Goku noticed the signs of summoning Shen Long and confronts them, rendering their counterattack useless. Frustrated over how healthy Goku has kept himself and feeling indignant that he isn't smaller anymore, Ultimate Shen Long acknowledges their troubles as a wish to turn Goku into a child. As the Dragon Balls scatter, the Pilaf Gang feel deflated from yet another failure.
North Kaiou is flabbergasted that the Dragon Balls hidden deep within God's Temple are still active. In order for Goku to return to normal, it's required to gather those Dragon Balls across planets all over the North, South, East, & West Galaxies instead of within a singular planet. Goku finds that simple enough and flies off. Elsewhere, after a shootout, bank robbers are bargaining their hostage in exchange for a car, airplane, and cups of ramen noodles (to be taste tested by their victim).
Close by, Pan is having a date with Pobel and they catch wind of the hostage situation. Displeased by the proposition of a movie date being ruined from angry robbers agitated from receiving drugged noodles, she intervenes. Goku attempts enter the bout after having his lunchtime ruined by the robbers. However, with Pan viewing him as an innocent child, she forcefully removes him from the action and resolves matters herself. Despite the heroics, she finds herself dumped yet again.
Meeting up with Kame-Sen'nin, Goku's ki is recognized despite the new body and everyone finds out they all know each other already, to Goku's joy and Pan's chagrin. Back home with Gohan, Chi Chi, Videl, & Pan, North Kaiou contacts Goku to alert him of a terrible truth. If they don't find the Ultimate Dragon Balls again, Earth will be destroyed within a year from that day!
