Synopsis
Summary
As Bulma and co. try and catch up with Goku and Beerus' battle, their ship has engine trouble due to the effect the battle is having on the atmosphere. Back down on the cruise ship, Vegeta continues to stare straight up into space, trying to watch the fight. Whis appears and offers to show him the battle with his staff, but Vegeta refuses. Up above the planet, Goku and Beerus decide to start up their battle again, this time without any tricks. Both sides power up and charge each other, punching at the exact same moment. As their fists come together, they produce strange shock waves that radiate outward. Off in the Kaiōshin Realm, the Kaiōshin are worried. Elder Kaiōshin explains that since the destructive force of these shock waves increases the further away they get from their point of origin, the universe itself will only be able to endure Goku and Beerus clashing together two or three more times. After that, the entire universe will be destroyed.
Kibitoshin telepathically contacts Goku to try and stop the fight, but is ignored. Instead, Goku and Beerus power up once more and punch each other the same as before, producing even more shock waves. Down in Satan City the shock waves knock people over like a strong wind, and out in the depths of space whole planets are destroyed. Due to the panic in Satan City, the media contacts Mister Satan, who claims to be at an auction for stolen goods, cleverly disguised as a birthday party. After claiming a bad connection and hanging up, Satan angrily demands to know where Gohan is at a time like this. Just as he says this, Bulma's ship comes plummeting straight down toward Satan, but thankfully Whis stops it at the last moment. He says Beerus promised not to destroy the Earth if he lost, and since the fight is not finished yet, Whis cannot let anything on Earth get destroyed until then.
Back up in space, Beerus and Goku power up some more, this time producing dragons from their auras which briefly battle against each other. For a third time, Goku and Beerus charge each other, this time seeming to punch many times. And yet the universe remains intact. Elder Kaiōshin explains that Goku erased Beerus' attack by matching it with a punch of the exact same speed and angle. Goku had actually intended to perfect this technique on the second punch, but Beerus made things too tough for that. When one of Goku's punches scraps Beerus' face, drawing blood, Beerus produces another atom-like ki ball. Goku counters with a Kamehameha, and as Beerus pours more and more power into the ball, the two ki attacks struggle against each other, producing more shock waves. With more planets being destroyed by the shock waves, Elder Kaiōshin thinks that the universe may be destroyed after all...
Episode Notes

- As Goku and Beerus continue their battle high above the Earth, Bulma and the others make their way in a Capsule Corp. ship. However, as they arrive on the scene there is a brief shot of the ship being bombarded by the battle's shockwaves in which the company's name is misspelled as "Capsule Coop". This is not the first instance of the company's name being misspelled, as it is also misspelled as "Capsue Corp" in the Vegeta family eyecatch used throughout the series thus far.
Staff & Cast Notes
- This episode is the first animated work of the franchise to feature a new narrator since its premiere in 1986. Prior to the episode's broadcast, Toei Animation announced that series narrator Jōji Yanami, who turned 84 in August 2015, would be taking medical leave from the series for an indefinite amount of time.[1] His roles as the narrator and Kaiō were to be played by Naoki Tatsuta in the meantime. Jōji Yanami did voice Kaiō's short appearance in this episode, but he never returned to Dragon Ball Super.

Availability
This episode has been released in numerous countries and languages around the world in both streaming and physical formats.

Simmons, while digital purchase platforms use the Simmons subtitles that are provided on the Funimation DVDs and Blu-rays.
Streaming debut dates only apply to the subtitled simulcast. Dubbed episodes were to Funimation's streaming service a few weeks after the dub broadcast, and to AnimeLab around the time of the Madman home video release. Simulcast dates reflect regional time zones. The United Kingdom was originally covered by the now-defunct Daisuki streaming service until Crunchyroll added the UK to their Dragon Ball Super coverage area on 30 May 2017.
