It was first published in Japan in the December 2015 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump, with a sale date of 21 October 2015.
Summary
Goku and Vegeta are sparring on Beerus' planet. Goku wants to fight stronger guys; Vegeta claims to be stronger, so Goku must defeat him first! The two trade a few attacks, but Vegeta is tricked into punching afterimages. Just as Goku closes in, Vegeta transforms and Whis comments on his blue hair. As Goku is knocked back from an attack, he whines that "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" was supposed to be off-limits for this match; if Vegeta is going to transform, so will he! The two debate over their relative strength, but Goku bites his tongue rattling off the long name again. Whis suggests "Super Saiyan Blue" as a new name, but also remarks that the transformation was not allowed and that the two appear to be getting carried away after having defeated Golden Freeza.
The narrator explains that a little while before these events, Freeza had returned to terrorize Earth. However, after meeting Beerus and Whis, the two Saiyans received training under Whis and managed to evolve into "Super Saiyan Blue", a form surpassing even Super Saiyan God. With this, they were able to defeat Freeza!
For disobeying orders, Whis forces giant spacesuit-esque outfits on both Goku and Vegeta. As the two complain, Champa and his attendant make a surprise appearance. Vegeta remarks that one of them resembles Beerus; Goku notes that one looks like a female Whis, and that the other one looks like a fat Beerus. Champa calls for Whis to retrieve Beerus, who is resting at the moment. The attendant makes note of Goku's rude comment, explaining that Champa is Beerus' twin brother and is the God of Destruction for Universe 6. Goku wonders who the stronger of the two is, but the attendant — looking at Champa's stomach — wonders why this is even a question. Additionally, both attendants are actually siblings, though Champa's attendant is the stronger of the two. Whis objects to this, noting that it has been 1,000 years since his sister trained him.
Beerus finally arrives, and Champa challenges him to a showdown… of food! Champa introduces a boiled Don-Don bird egg, while Beerus provides a cup of noodles. Champa is more impressed than he otherwise would like to be, and inquires about the food's origin. Beerus explains that "Earth" is filled with even more tasty food. Champa asks his attendant, Vados, to find the corresponding "Earth" in Universe 6. Whis explains to Goku and Vegeta that Champa came from Universe 6, and that it is actually the twin to their Universe 7: each pair whose numerical total adds up to 13 (e.g., 1 & 12, 2 & 11, as well as 6 & 7). Goku fails to understand how this all works.
Vados is able to track down an Earth in Universe 6, but unfortunately there was an "idiotic war" there in the past and its own human race was wiped out. Beerus laughs, since this means they cannot get any of their own tasty food there. Goku is not entirely surprised; Vegeta tried to destroy their own Earth, after all!
Champa decides to hold a contest with the ultimate prize being Universe 7's Earth. The "Universe 6 and 7 God of Destruction Invitational Tournament" will see five-person teams battle each other until only one of the opposing team's final competitors is still standing!
Goku, needless to say, is excited…!
Interstitial page
Freeza, Shisami and Sorbet are in Hell. Sorbet complains that they were completely skipped over in the manga… which is not entirely true, since both Sorbet and Shisami make a brief cameo in page 73 of Chapter 4. It is indeed true, however, that the Resurrection “F” arc was completely skipped over in the manga, with only a brief summary of its events in this chapter and some small mentions and flashbacks in Chapter 32.
Continuity
- This chapter is the only piece of Dragon Ball media to show the in-universe origin of the term “Super Saiyan Blue” (Whis suggested using it instead of the far longer “Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan”). In the anime, it is used for the first time by Vegeta in Episode 37 with no explanation as to its origin.
- It is also the only piece of Dragon Ball media where the term “Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan” is used in-universe.
- In this chapter, Goku and Vegeta are forced to use extremely heavy clothing as punishment for having transformed into Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan in a training session where they were not supposed to. In Episode 28, however, both are wearing the same weighted clothing from the very beginning of the episode, being clear that it was part of their training from the start.
- In the anime, Champa and Vados arrive with a big explosion to Beerus’s Planet. This wakes up Beerus, which then proceeds to blame Goku and Vegeta for the ruckus. In this chapter, however, Champa and Vados enter the planet very discreetly and actually have to ask Whis to wake Beerus up.
- In the anime, most of the action takes place inside of a room in Beerus’s Planet. The manga chapter, on the other hand, takes place entirely outside.
Notes
- An update in the 2015 #45 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan hinted that the Dragon Ball Super manga would be jumping ahead of the anime and head into the brand-new material from the God of Destruction Champa arc[1]. In fact, and unlike the TV series, the manga not adapt the events of the Resurrection 'F' theatrical film at all, presumably due to Toyotarō having already covered three chapters' worth of its material prior to his work on Dragon Ball Super.
- Those three promotional chapters were published in the April, May, and June 2015 issues of V-Jump. They were branded Dragon Ball Z, and are therefore not part of the official Dragon Ball Super manga continuity.
- Despite skipping its events entirely, this chapter does have the narrator briefly summarize the events of the movie.
- At the time of its publication, this manga chapter included exclusive story material that had not been seen in the theatrical versions of Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' nor in the Dragon Ball Super TV series.
- This manga chapter debuts an alternate name for Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan: "Super Saiyan Blue" (超サイヤ人ブルー; sūpā saiyajin burū), used both in dialog and by the narrator. While not used within the dialog of Resurrection 'F' itself, the name "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" had up until this point been used extensively as the form's official name in guide books, merchandise, and various other Dragon Ball material. It was also the naming used by Akira Toriyama himself within the pages of Dragon Ball: Volume F.
- Vados's name (ヴァドス vadosu) is likely taken from "calvados" (カルヴァドス karuvadosu), an apple brandy of French origin. This fits in with Champa's name pun, itself likely sourced from (and literally the first few characters of) "champagne".
