Summary

Though Goku Black has destroyed Trunks's time machine, Bulma produces another one, beat-up and covered in moss. She explains that this is the time machine Cell arrived in. Originally, Future Trunks restored it to capsule form and kept hold of it, but the day he returned to the future, Bulma asked to have it. She wanted to use the time machine to research time travel, but she was unable to understand how the machine worked and eventually gave up. Now though, she has her future self's notes explaining all about the time machine, so she can finally get a handle on it.

Now they can go to the future and battle Black! But it will still take a while for Bulma to get the time machine in working order. Goku asks Whis for more training in the meantime, but Whis does not really feel like it, not with all these time machines around. They have even got that Time Ring to worry about now as well. Piccolo suggests that Goku train with Vegeta, but Vegeta is looking pretty scary right now, and not in a mood to train with anyone else.

Goku teleports off to Kaiō's planet instead and asks to train there, but even Kaiō is upset at the mess Goku made of the place last time. Meanwhile, Vegeta heads into the Gravity Room by himself, vowing to "make him pay" (presumably referring to Black). In the future, Black notes to himself that "battle memories" are being engraved into his mind and body, as he becomes accustomed to Goku's movements and body. He wants to know more about Goku, in order to become even stronger.

Back at Capsule Corporation, Bulma's parents have returned from vacation, and are alarmed to find their garden in such a mess from the recent battle. But they are pleased to see Future Trunks again, and Bulma asks her father to help her out in repairing the time machine. She also asks the Pilaf Gang to help out, and they agree... though Pilaf immediately starts scheming to use the time machine's future technology to build a "world domination machine".

When Pilaf refers to Mai by name, Future Trunks overhears and realizes she is the same Mai he knew in the future. As the two share a tender moment, Bulma returns Cell's time machine to capsule form and goes inside to get to work, but not before assigning Kuririn and Piccolo the task of fixing up the garden.

Mai, Future Trunks, and Present Trunks are left alone, and Future Trunks begins telling his story: in his future, he first met Mai when she was older, about the same age as him. Most of humanity was wiped out in Black's initial attack, but the survivors launched a counterattack. Each national army attacked Black, but was defeated. The survivors hid underground, but gathered together to form resistance cells to continue the fight.

Future Mai was in one such cell. Despite mounting casualties, her cell and Trunks collaborated to corner Black, leading him into an area full of explosives. When that proved ineffective, Trunks stepped in to try and finish Black off. Black revealed that he considered human beings to be "the gods' only failure", and that he wished to exterminate them in order to create a more perfect and beautiful world, since the gods themselves were unwilling to admit their mistake.

With Trunks no match for Black, Mai distracted Black with a flare gun and rescued Trunks. She took him home and tended to his wounds, telling him how he gave people hope by continuing to fight against Black. His persistence kept them from giving up. Concluding his story, Future Trunks tells Present Mai that he was happy to get to meet her again.

Present Trunks asks why his future self did not bring Future Mai along with him, but Future Trunks is unable to answer, which everyone takes to mean that she is dead. Pilaf and Shuu ask about their future selves, but Trunks says he never saw them. In fact, Pilaf and Shuu have come to get Mai to help with the time machine repairs. Goku teleports back, explaining that Kaiō refused to train him or give him any food, so now he is starving.

Goku tells Trunks to simply rest for now; he has had a stressful day! Inside, Bulma assigns the Pilaf Gang with first cleaning up the time machine. Mai seems quite taken with the handsome Future Trunks, and Bulma notes how Mai talks like an older woman (the Pilaf Gang all have a big laugh over this). Meanwhile, Beerus and Whis discuss how Black's ki seemed familiar, like they had encountered it somewhere before. Whis decides to look into it...

Funimation credits Bulma's Mom as "Panchy". This name has never been given in the series. It was mentioned as a possible name for her by Akira Toriyama in 2004, but she is named "Bikini" in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (2020). Trunks is only credited once in the Japanese version because Takeshi Kusao voices both the child and adult characters. Colleen Clinkenbeard plays both versions of Mai for Funimation.
