Synopsis

While Goku is recruiting No. 17, Gohan visits Piccolo. In order for Gohan to recover his former strength, Piccolo puts him through harsh training. Piccolo has promised Goku that he will train Gohan until the tournament. For Universe Seven to claim victory at the Tournament of Power, Gohan needs to make a comeback! And so, his martial arts master whips Gohan's rusty body into shape via one-on-one special training, trying to bring even more power out of him than he had in the old days. Gohan starts attacking fiercely but Piccolo is easily able to intercept the blows. Piccolo senses that while Gohan has great drive, his attacks are unhoned. Gohan envisions the people he wants to protect, like Videl, Pan, and Bra, and gains a fierce expression. However, his attack on Piccolo is not decisive, and instead he is finally struck down with a heavy blow. Piccolo tells Gohan that overly strong feelings can be like shackles, and that this was to pinpoint the imbalances in his spirit. Meanwhile, the other universes concentrating on choosing their own players![1][2][3][4][5]

Summary

Gohan and Piccolo spar out in the wilderness. It turns out that right after the Zen Exhibition Match wrapped up, Goku visited Piccolo and explained the situation to him (including the danger of their universe being destroyed, and how Gohan fared in his match). Though Goku thinks Gohan fought well, he's still not as strong as he used to be.

Piccolo readily agrees to enter the tournament, and also vows to train Gohan to get the hang of fighting once again. For this purpose, he takes two Senzu from Goku, to save until the very end of their training. Gohan is determined to get stronger, and is ready for anything Piccolo throws at him. They spar, with Gohan turning Super Saiyan.

Meanwhile at Capsule Corporation, Trunks struggles to change Bra's diaper, while Bulma brags about her newborn baby to some friend over the phone. Vegeta steps in to help Trunks, impressing both Trunks and Goten with his diaper-changing skills. Off on the side, Beerus can't stand to see everyone so relaxed when their entire universe risks being destroyed...but if he told them now, Bulma would chew him out. He decides it would be best not to say anything.

Kuririn returns home from work, and starts sparring with No. 18 (which confuses their neighbors, who don't understand why the couple fights all the time). No. 18 wins their match, and Kuririn asks her to hold back a little. No. 18 promises to use the prize money to buy Marron whatever she wants, though Kuririn had wanted a new training machine (maybe next time).

Piccolo and Gohan continue to train, but despite his enthusiasm, Gohan keeps getting knocked around by Piccolo. At this rate, he'll never return to his old level of strength, let alone surpass it.

Gohan can't stand it: he won't be able to protect Videl and the others others like this! Piccolo notes that while a desire to protect others can be a source of strength, if it's too strong, it might instead merely hold Gohan back. If Gohan is too focused on winning to think clearly, he might misjudge his opponents' strength. Still, Piccolo is confident that with Gohan on their team, they can win. So Gohan should be confident!

Off in Universe Six, Cabba pilots his spaceship and reflects on the upcoming tournament. Hit may be strong, but there's no guarantee he can win against seventy opponents in a battle royale, meaning that the key is selecting the right people to fill out the rest of their team. In which case, there's only one man for the job!

Cabba lands on a planet and knocks on the door of a small house. Inside is Renso, the former captain of the Planet Sadala Defense Squad. He trained Cabba back in the day, and now hears all about Cabba's exploits as the Defense Squad's ace member. Cabba shows off his Super Saiyan form to Renso, who is suitably impressed.

Cabba breaks the news about the tournament, and begs Renso to enter. However, Renso points out he has long since retired from the Defense Squad. He now has a bad leg, and can't put out the same power as before.

While Cabba insists that Renso's battle experience should be useful in a battle royale situation, Renso instead suggests Cabba bring Renso's younger sister, Caulifla. Cabba knows Caulifla, though he apparently has trouble dealing with her. Renso gives his assurance that though Caulifla may seem like just a thug, her potential is far greater potential than his own.

Back on Earth, Piccolo tells Gohan that they've done enough warming up: now they fight for real. Piccolo says that while Gohan is strong, he has a weakness he must overcome if they are to win this tournament. He stretches his arms and wraps them around Gohan, threatening to strangle him to death. Gohan is surprised at Piccolo's strength, but Piccolo says he hasn't just been sitting around white Gohan's been off studying.

Unable to break free from Piccolo's stranglehold, Gohan reverts from Super Saiyan to his regular form. He's lost the sparring match. Piccolo explains that despite his strength, Gohan lacks the warrior mentality. For instance, when he fought Majin Boo after Elder Kaiōshin powered him up, he got too cocky and was caught off-guard. Gohan needs to fight with his full power, no matter who he's up against.

Gohan powers up into Super Saiyan once more, but Piccolo knows Super Saiyan isn't his full power. He tells Gohan to awaken his true self, the power he had when he fought Boo! Gohan continues powering up and reaches his Ultimate Gohan form, vowing to no longer hold back. They begin sparring again, with Piccolo producing countless doppelgangers.

Gohan ploughs through the doppelgangers and karate-chops Piccolo's arm off. It looks like he's won...but another doppelganger blasts him in the back. It's just like with Boo: once Gohan thinks he's got the fight in the bag, he drops his guard. It's a bad habit he probably inherited from his father. He's got to avoid that at the tournament!

Gohan thanks Piccolo for his training and advice, but Piccolo insists that they continue. He still thinks Gohan has room to improve, and wants to see how much stronger he can get in the time remaining before the tournament. Gohan's up for it, and even suggests they work on some combo attacks for the tournament.

Only nine and a half hours remain until the Tournament of Power!
