Synopsis
Summary
On the cruise ship, Goten and Trunks bring out the Dragon Balls. Beerus remarks that those must be the "wishing spheres", though he thought they were supposed to be bigger. Whis explains that the God of Earth is a Namekian, and that the "wishing spheres" of Earth are indeed smaller. As Shenlong is summoned, the Pilaf Gang see him as they row away from the cruise ship, and realize that the Dragon Balls were on board after all. Goku asks Shenlong to bring them Super Saiyan God, but Shenlong explains (after groveling before Beerus for a while) that Super Saiyan God is a figure from Saiyan myth, and does not currently exist. However, Shenlong does know the method for producing Super Saiyan God: according to a Namekian book of legends, if five pure-hearted Saiyans hold hands and pour their hearts into another pure-hearted Saiyan, the god of the Saiyans will be born. With that, Shenlong bids a very respectful farewell to Beerus and departs. Piccolo thinks things are hopeless because they only have four pure-hearted Saiyans, but the Turtle Hermit says that Vegeta is no longer evil. Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, and Trunks hold hands and attempt to turn Goku into a Super Saiyan God. Vegeta complains about Goku getting the honor, but Goku says they will make Vegeta one next.
Though Goku's ki grows higher than before, he still does not feel like a god. Whis interjects that according to Shenlong's instructions, the Saiyans need to infuse their "hearts" rather than their "ki". What's more, since five Saiyans must share their hearts with one more, a total of six pure-hearted Saiyans are needed. Things seem truly hopeless now, and Beerus begins charging another attack to destroy the Earth, but Videl interrupts, revealing that she is pregnant with Gohan's child. Everyone celebrates, and Chi-Chi even suggests that they name the baby "Gomen". However, Beerus abruptly interrupts their celebration and tells them to hurry up.
Though nobody is sure if it will work, the group tries the hand-holding ritual once more, this time with Videl added to the mix. At first nothing seems to happen, and Goku suggests that perhaps Vegeta or even Gohan's baby is not pure-hearted, but after the group concentrates a light begins shining out from Videl. Golden clouds begin swirling around the cruise ship, and the seas become violent, creating a whirlpool that starts sucking in the Pilaf Gang's rowboat. Goku says his body is starting to hurt a little, and then a blue light surrounds the group. A huge pillar of light shoots out from them and pierces through the clouds, and the group begins to shake. Goku glows red, and when the glow fades he has transformed into a younger-looking, thinner form with bright red hair. Dende seems to offer confirmation to Piccolo that Goku is indeed now a god. Beerus is reminded of the figure from his dream, and Goku is totally excited!
Episode Notes
- After learning that Videl is pregnant, Chi-Chi suggests they name the child "Gomen" (悟麺). The go (悟) at the beginning of the name is the same kanji as used by every other male member of the Son family, and men (麺) is simply the Japanese word for noodles, as in ramen. The child's proposed name is actually derived from Gohan's name, which itself is a pun on rice, so it would only be fitting that his child's name be a pun on noodles.
