"The Universe 11 God of Destruction Candidate, Toppo" is the twenty-ninth chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga series written and illustrated by Toyotarō, with supervision and guidance from original Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the December 2017 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump, with a sale date of 21 October 2017.
Summary
Vermoud catches the other gods in a series of bubbles, but Liquir is able to jump in and deflect the incoming attack, only to himself be caught off-guard by Helles. The Omni-Kings are having difficulty keeping up with the action. Rumoosh freezes everyone in their tracks with a great roar and runs in to attack. At this point, even Goku is having a difficult time making sense of the ridiculous power and insanity of the match.
The gods continue their assault against each other, but the Omni-Kings have had enough of not being able to follow anything. The Great Priest appears in the ring, stopping Beerus and Quitela from punching each other simply by raising a finger against each incoming fist. The match is cancelled! Vermoud lifts his head from the ground with a grin.
The Omni-Kings consider throwing out the entire idea of a tournament, but Goku appeals for them to reconsider; after all, their fights will not quite be at the level of the Gods of Destruction. The Omni-Kings would like a demonstration, and with Toppo here from Universe 11, they have a perfect opportunity to show off. In order to reign things in even further, the Great Priest announces that flying, weapons, and killing will all be prohibited, and the first person to touch the outside of the ring will be the loser.
Whis is questioned by the Universe 8 angel Korn about Goku's manners toward the Omni-Kings, but Whis explains that Goku actually helped him once, and so there is a familiarity between them.
Toppo asks whether Goku is also a God of Destruction candidate, but Goku responds that he has no interest in that and simply wants to get stronger. As the fight begins, Goku rushes in as regular Super Saiyan; Beerus and Whis figure Goku is going to conserve his energy and observe for the time being. With no attacks landing, Toppo asks for Goku to get serious. The future Omni-King is impressed by Goku's transformations; the present Omni-King says that Goku has even more in store for them! The Great Priest asks Whis how many transformations Goku has. The Omni-Kings would like to see Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3, Super Saiyan God, and Super Saiyan Blue! There does not seem to be much of a change with Super Saiyan 2, so Goku is asked to ramp it up to Super Saiyan 3, which the Omni-Kings think looks scary and fun! Goku is still unable to land anything against Toppo, who finally responds with impressive speed and punches of his own.
Goku is forced to ramp things up again, this time to Super Saiyan God, which even the Gods of Destruction and Toppo acknowledge as having the feeling of a true god. As Toppo fires, Goku instinctively jumps up to fly away, but is quickly reminded that this is prohibited. Taking the hit, it looks as if Goku will fall out of the ring, but he is able to grab the edge at the last moment to flip himself back in. Beerus yells for Goku to turn Super Saiyan Blue and finish the match, but as Goku transforms and pulls back a punch, Toppo lands a massive kick squarely up into Goku's stomach, launching him up and out of the ring. Toppo has won!
Goku is impressed with Toppo's power, but he is only the second-strongest from Universe 11. Even Toppo has a long way to go to reach Jiren, who is even stronger than their God of Destruction, Vermoud…!
Interstitial Page
In the interstitial page following this chapter in the sixth collected volume, Shin asks Whis whether all the other Angels really are his siblings. Whis confirms that indeed they are, and specifies that Kusu of Universe 10, who is standing behind him with Gowasu, is the eldest. Kusu, overhearing them talk about her, flashes the peace sign at them. However, Gowasu, who clearly did not hear any of the conversation, is visibly confused at their exchanges.
Continuity
The events of the manga and the anime diverge significantly. Below are the main differences, along with the episodes where the events of this chapter occur or contrast.
- Rumoosh does not use his special battle roar in the anime (nor is it ever mentioned that he can do it).
- In the manga, the Great Priest seems to have devised the rules of the Tournament of Power, namely the no-flying rule, as a response to the tumultuous experience that the battle between all Gods of Destruction revealed itself to be (Goku and even the Omni-Kings could not follow along). In the anime, however, it seemed like he had the rules devised all along and was just waiting for a good opportunity to explain them to the various spectators and participants of the Zen Exhibition match.
- In the anime, Toppo is the only mortal present at the Zen Exhibition Match outside of those from Universes 7 and 9, and he is hooded when he first appears in Episode 78. It also is not revealed that he is a candidate to be a God of Destruction until Episode 125, right near the end of the Tournament of Power. Cae merely states to the Omni-Kings that Toppo is his "bodyguard" in Episode 82. Similarly, Toppo also does not use godly ki in the anime until Episode 125.
- This information had been revealed on Toei Animation's website prior to the airing of Episode 125, though.[1]
- Toppo’s personality is considerably different in the two versions of the story: in the anime, he seems to be obsessed with the concept of justice and bears significant animosity towards Goku for having put 8 universes in peril (to the point of calling him “evil”). In the manga, however, he possesses none of these characteristics, and even provides Goku with some advice at the end of their battle.
- In the anime, Goku only fights Toppo as a Super Saiyan and as a Super Saiyan Blue, never going through all of his transformations like he does in this chapter.
- In the anime, Goku is about to use both Kaiō-Ken and Super Saiyan Blue simultaneously when the Great Priest notices that the Omni-Kings are getting a little too excited. He calls off the match (much to the Omni-Kings' disappointment), telling Goku and Toppo to save the rest for the main tournament. In the manga, however, the match ends in a definite conclusion, with Goku losing to Toppo.
- The anime does not explicitly confirm that Jiren is stronger than Vermoud until Episode 110.
Notes
- This chapter is mislabeled as "Chapter" 28 in the Viz English translation of the sixth collected volume, though it is labeled correctly in the table of contents.
- Rumoosh's roar paralyzes Goku and causes the Kaiōshin to collapse unconscious. Whis tells Goku that even the Gods of Destruction should barely be standing after hearing it, implying that Goku is close to their level. Even so, he still has difficulty following the fight, as do the Omni-Kings. As Goku and Toppo fight, Iwen comments that this fight is already encroaching on the level of the gods.
- When Toppo starts using godly ki, Goku states that he cannot sense his ki anymoree, just like he can’t sense all the other gods’. However, in Episode 18, Vegeta is able to sense Whis’s ki as he approaches Beerus's Planet, strongly implying that Saiyans that have mastered godly ki become able to sense it as well.
