Summary
Out in the wasteland, Piccolo finishes training Gohan. Now Gohan must test out his power...and Piccolo knows just the person for that. Elsewhere, Goku, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, and the Turtle Hermit are eating at a restaurant. Tenshinhan wonders what they'll do with the remaining time before the tournament, and the Turtle Hermit offers to teach a few of his techniques. But just then, Piccolo and Gohan walk in, and Gohan requests a sparring match against Goku and Tenshinhan.
Back out in the wasteland again, the group selects a suitable spot to serve as their ring. It will be a two-on-two match: Goku and Tenshinhan vs Gohan and Piccolo. Falling out of the ring means a loss, and since this shall be a battle royale, they should focus on teamwork. Tenshinhan warns Goku to remember that this is a practice match: he should be careful not to hurt anyone! But Goku thinks they might be the ones who should worry about getting hurt...
The match begins, and Goku and Gohan (both still in "base" form) rush at each other and trade blows, while Piccolo begins charging up an attack. Tenshinhan aims his Kikōhō at Gohan, but Goku tells him to focus instead on Piccolo, who's still charging. However, Gohan steps in and prevents Tenshinhan from successfully attacking Piccolo, and Piccolo now unleashes a powerful energy wave from out of his entire body, similar to what he used against Goku back at the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai.
Goku manages to tough out the big blast, and while Gohan rushes in for a follow-up attack, Goku blocks this too. He compliments Gohan and Piccolo on their wonderful combination, saying that Gohan has managed to get back his knack for fighting.
Tenshinhan notes that the mountain they've been using as an arena has been blown to smithereens, so the match is over. However, Gohan insists on fighting another match, this time one-on-one against Goku. Though Tenshinhan thinks this would be pointless, Goku readily agrees.
Over in Universe 10, Gowasu is fretting over which warriors he should select to fight in the tournament. What factors should he consider when making his choice? He doesn't want to mess up and pick someone like Zamasu again! Rumoosh and his Angel Kusu stop by. Rumoosh tells Gowasu he's overthinking things: rather than using his head, he should decide with his body!
To that end, Rumoosh and Kusu have brought along ten warriors Rumoosh has already selected. Their leader, Murichim, introduces himself, but he and his fellow fighters soon need to take a time out to drink their protein drinks. They must do this regularly to build up their beefy bodies! Rumoosh thinks he can depend on this group, but Gowasu doesn't seem quite so certain.
Back on Earth, Goku and Gohan take senzu and power up to begin their match. Tenshinhan thinks this is a waste of senzu, but even he now wants to see how these two Saiyans square off. Gohan says he is now at his full power, though Goku notes he's not a Super Saiyan.
Gohan confirms that he is aiming for an "ultimate form" never seen before, and that he is going about it in a different way than Goku. Goku is impressed: he figured fighting warriors from other universes would make for the best training, but he forgot he had Gohan there the whole time!
The two begin sparring (with Goku remaining in what looks like his Super Saiyan 2 form): first they trade blows, then a barrage of ki blasts, before at last firing off two Kamehamehas at each other.
Their battle shakes the ground, and even Vegeta and co. off in West City can tell something's up. Though Gohan more than holds his own, he remains unsatisfied, and asks Goku to fight with his full power. Goku agrees, and first powers up into his Super Saiyan Blue form, then uses Kaiō-Ken to boot.
The two clash and when the dust clears, Gohan collapses, though not before vainly trying to get in one final attack. Goku catches Gohan before he hits the ground, saying that they will go forward together.
Later after Gohan regains consciousness, he thanks Goku and apologizes to Tenshinhan for the trouble. Goku announces that he's selected Gohan to be the Universe 7 team leader.
Only four and a half hours left until the Tournament of Power!
