Synopsis

Summary

Over at the Son household, Goku is itching to go back to Kaiō's to train, but Chi-Chi forbids it, saying they are already out of money again. Besides, they've got a grandchild on the way, and Goku needs to be a good grandfather, and not just fighting all the time. At Gohan's house, Videl is about to make dinner, but Gohan insists on making it instead, since he does not want Videl to be overworked. Out in the mountains, Vegeta stands alone, thinking about how he will surpass Super Saiyan God, Beerus, and Kakarrot, too. Meanwhile, out in space, a spaceship is fast approaching Earth. The aliens inside discuss how fortunately, Earth does not seem to be inhabited by any members of "that race" with intelligence on par with their own...

Mister Satan heads off to an emergency press conference, taking Bee with him, where he explains the true cause of the mysterious shockwave phenomenon that had plagued the world to the public. Satan had learned that the Earth was being targeted by the "God of Destruction, Be... Be... Beebus", and hurried to confront him. At first, even the mighty Satan was no match for the god, but all of a suddenly a miracle occurred: he became a god himself and triumphed. The crowd cheers, but are soon sent running as a spaceship lands.

Out of the spaceship emerge the lion-like people of the Planet Snak. The Snakian ambassador is dismayed that everyone is scared by their appearance, and explains that they simply came to extend their greetings to the hero who defeated the God of Destruction. They display their ultimate sign of respect, a very silly looking dance, and ask where this hero is. Satan identifies himself as the one who defeated the God of Destruction, and the Snakian ambassador presents him with a "hero medal", but the Snakian hero Galbi is not content. He wants to spar with Earth's hero to see what he is really made of; otherwise he will not acknowledge Satan as a true hero. Satan protests, saying he is still tired from battling the God of Destruction. He quickly tries calling Gohan for help, but Gohan is too busy cooking to answer his phone. He calls Capsule Corporation to try and reach Vegeta, but nobody is home.

Just as things are looking bad for Satan, Goku flies by carrying his tractor. It turns out he was trying to get his broken tractor fixed at Bulma's, but nobody was home, and he wonders if Satan can fix it. Instead, Satan gets Goku to fight Galbi in his place, saying that if Galbi cannot even defeat Goku, he is not worthy to take on Satan. Galbi and the other Snakians are unimpressed by Goku's appearance, and to make matters worse, Chi-Chi happens by at that moment. She is carrying a huge load of food over to Gohan's house in order to help ensure Videl gets plenty of nutrition, and having Piccolo help carry the groceries as payback for always eating at their place for free. Goku panics, and in a vain attempt to prevent Chi-Chi from seeing him out fighting, he asks Satan to hit him, then pretends to be sent flying by the blow. With Goku now gone, Satan desperately thinks that even Kuririn or "that green guy" are all the help he needs, or even Goten or Trunks.

As the match starts, Satan desperately runs around avoiding Galbi's blows, but the crowd is unimpressed by his performance. Realizing he has to do something, Satan imagines how he tried to protect Videl during the battle with Beerus. He stands firm before Galbi, who seems to punch him square in the face... but in reality he has stopped just short of making contact. In fact, Galbi is completely paralyzed with fear, because he has just spotted Satan's dog, Bee. It turns out the feline Snakians are mortal enemies with a race of canine aliens, and even though the dogs on Earth are not sentient, they are still enough to strike fear into the Snakians' heart. Galbi makes a run for the ship, and the other Snakians follow behind, but not before doing their dance of respect one last time. Leaving Earth, they sadly think that it will be many thousands of years before they ever manage to conquer their mortal enemies. The crowd cheers at the sight of Satan's power, and Bee is still holding the Snakian's "hero medal" in his mouth.

That night at the Son household, Goten remarks that Goku is out late, and Chi-Chi promises to give him lots of "rest" (apparently meaning punishment) once he gets back. Meanwhile, Goku is lurking around outside, starving, but too scared to come home.

Availability

This episode has been released in numerous countries and languages around the world in both streaming and physical formats. "Simulcast" streaming services (even Funimation) use the Toei Animation subtitles rather than the Funimation subtitles by Steven J. 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.
