It was published in Japan in the January 2021 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump, with a sale date of 21 November 2020.
Summary
Piccolo observes that the battlefield seems to have gotten farther away. Dende thinks that something about the planet feels wrong, and Gohan tells everyone that his body hurts all of a sudden. Vegeta realizes that Moro is trying to absorb their energy, and he tells everyone to get off the ground, wondering aloud how Kakarrot managed to screw things up again.
In a city, the inhabitants are having trouble staying on their feet. Meanwhile Moro, who has become one with the Earth, laughs, telling Goku that the Earth's energy is all his now. Goku tells him to stop; Moro tries to attack with his giant hands, but Goku still has no trouble fending him off. Moro generates another arm underneath Goku, punching him into the air; Goku is caught off guard, and Moro tells him he has nowhere to run. As Goku fights off half a dozen giant arms, Whis tells his group that the situation is dire; Moro's energy continues to grow. Kuririn asks if there is a way to keep Moro from detonating; Whis says yes, but he is not sure whether Goku can manage it.
Beerus decides that he will help out since it is a special case; he does not want to lose Earth, but if the other Gods of Destruction find out, he will be in big trouble, so he will make it quick. Just then, however, Whis gets a message on his staff: Beerus has been summoned to the Great Priest. Whis assumes it has something to do with Merusu; Beerus did not think they would find out that quickly, but since they have, they had better hurry and get there. Jaco and Kuririn cannot believe he is leaving, and Beerus mocks Kuririn for thinking he cared what happened to his planet; they should solve their own problems.
Before leaving, Whis goes to Goku and tells him that the only way to defeat Moro is to shatter his forehead crystal again and release Merusu's power. Goku remembers when Merusu did it; Whis tells him that it should destroy Moro and leave the Earth in one piece. Goku asks Whis if he thinks he can do it; Whis tells him that he already has divine power and he should have faith in his own strength. Goku says if that is the only way... Whis tells him it is, and that he and Beerus will be returning to the Heavenly Realm now.[a] Beerus tells Goku to save some Earth food for him even if the planet dies. Whis bids him farewell, and they take of.
Meanwhile, Moro is growing larger (in the form of a hill with his head emerging from the ground on top), and Goku realizes that he must act soon or it will be too late. Moro's head is fattening and Goku can barely see the crystal anymore. Suddenly, Vegeta flies in, telling him to stand aside. He punches the ground in front of Goku, sending bits of spirit flying with his Forced Spirit Fission technique. Vegeta punches again, and again, causing Moro's body to deflate. Goku congratulates him, but Vegeta tells him to shut it and get to work on destroying that crystal. He can only keep this up for so long.
Goku draws back his fist and says that everything is riding on it.[b] He flies in, and Moro tries to grab him with a giant arm, but Goku dodges it, and another, and another. He flies straight through one hand, and another, and another, until finally Moro piles up enough hands to trap him just short of the crystal.
Frustrated, Vegeta continues to try to liberate Moro's stolen energy, but Moro is draining him faster and his body is at its limit. Goku cannot believe he still does not have enough god power. Jaco hears this and gets an idea; he takes off on his jet boots, telling Kuririn that he has to run an errand. Meanwhile, Goku loses his Ultra Instinct transformation; Vegeta yells at him, but Goku says his power is getting sucked away.
Just then, the whole crew shows up, and Piccolo asks Vegeta if he can use Spirit Fission in reverse to gather up ki and give it to Goku. Vegeta says it is possible; it is the same principle. He holds out a hand, and everyone gives him their ki; Piccolo contacts Dende telepathically and tells him to gather up the ki from everyone at God's Temple. On Monster Island, Goten and Trunks hear Piccolo's voice and they offer up their ki too. Vegeta takes all this and gathers it into a ball, sending it to Goku, but he is only able to power up to Super Saiyan Blue. Piccolo asks why he will not use Ultra Instinct, and Vegeta explains that he cannot, even with all of their ki.
At God's Temple, everyone is out of breath, and Dende apologizes to Goku for his ill-developed god power. Bulma realizes that their ordinary ki was not enough. Then Jaco arrives in his spaceship. He hops out and asks where to find Majin Boo; they need his power. Bulma points to where he is sleeping. Meanwhile, Goku is back in his normal form, and he apologizes to everyone for screwing it up. Yamcha asks if they can just leave the planet and use the Dragon Balls to fix everything; if not Earth's Dragon Balls, then the gigantic ones in space. Kuririn says it will not work; if Moro explodes, he will take the whole galaxy with him. Tenshinhan realizes that even the Dragon Balls in space will be dust, then, and Yamcha is disappointed. Vegeta tells them there is no time left for that anyway; Moro has already gone insane, so the detonation is imminent.
Kuririn thinks they should at least try to get Goku back; they cannot let him die like that, trapped in Moro's hands. Gohan volunteers to help him, and Tenshinhan thinks it sounds better than waiting for death. Yamcha cannot believe that he is going to die a bachelor after everything. But then, Chiaotzu notices something and tells Ten to look: it is a giant ball of ki. Everyone looks at it in astonishment, wondering where it came from. Goku looks at it, and says he feels divine power. Vegeta does not understand where such a huge amount of god power could have come from.
Far away, in a small village of thatched huts, Dai Kaiōshin guides a small boy to raise his hand to the sky. At God's Temple, Dende tells Jaco and Esca that it is Oob, the reincarnation of the pure Majin Boo who inherited Dai Kaiōshin's god power. Jaco thinks it is a lucky break that Boo's reincarnation was born on Earth. A short distance away, Mister Satan asks Bulma what they are talking about, but she has no idea. Back in the village, Oob asks if he is doing it right, and Dai Kaiōshin tells him it is perfect, apologizing for the trouble.
On the battlefield, Vegeta tells Goku to take this ki, whoever's it is, and use it for another round of Ultra Instinct; he tosses the ball of ki at Goku, and when it connects, it blinds everyone on the sidelines, sparking even in space. For a moment, Goku appears to be at least fifty times his actual size, while his real body mirrors the crystal in Moro's forehead. Goku grapples with the giant earthen Moro, pushing him back, while his friends gape on the sidelines. The giant body keeps Moro restrained, while the normal body attacks the crystal. Deep in space, Whis looks back toward Earth and smiles just as Goku shatters the crystal with a single punch. Moro's earthen head explodes, and a geyser of flame shoots up from the earth, burying Goku's friends in the rubble. When they emerge, Kuririn asks what happened, and Piccolo points in the direction that Vegeta is facing, where Goku stands on the precipice of a volcanic crater. Kuririn and Gohan call out to him, and he gives them a thumbs up.

Production
The first twelve pages of chapter 66's storyboards were made available online in advance of the chapter. It was announced at the same time that the arc would be ending in the February 2021 issue of V-Jump, on sale in December.[2]
The "Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc" comes to a close in the V-Jump February special big issue, going on sale in December! Don't miss the incredible climax in the V-Jump January special big issue, where Goku and Moro duke it out in their ultimate final battle!
This announcement came just one month after Victory Uchida announced that he and Toyotarō were about to hash out plans for the next arc with Akira Toriyama.[3]
Victory Uchida: Ah, thoughts on where the new arc might go… I actually have a meeting about that in two days.
Koike: Really?!
VU: So I'll basically be sitting down for various discussions with Toriyama-sensei and Toyotarō-sensei. The idea isn't to get to point of being able to say, "We're definitely going with this!" We're just going to be… narrowing down. We'll be paring down from what were an initial ten or so choices to about three. This is actually the first time we've had to narrow down from so many different options. So we should wind up being able to condense things down into a really interesting story.
