Synopsis
Summary
In the refurbished Room of Spirit and Time, Goku and Vegeta wrap up a sparring session. Goku tells Vegeta that fighting with him helps him see what his shortcomings are, and Vegeta thinks to himself that he feels the same way. Goku wonders what "Monaka" is like, but Vegeta points out Monaka is on their side, so Goku should instead focus on their Universe 6 opponents. Since Beerus went through all the trouble of preparing Monaka as their team's trump card, the Universe 6 fighters must definitely be strong. When Goku gets a little too excited at the thought of meeting six super-strong people, Vegeta tells him to act his age. "But you said Saiyans stay young until they hit 80!" Vegeta explains that he meant Goku needs to grow up emotionally. With that, the two start another round of sparing.
The day of the tournament, Whis arrives at Capsule Corporation to pick everyone up. He instructs them to enter a large transparent cube. Trunks asks if this thing is really a spaceship, but Whis maintains it is simply a "cube", not a spaceship. Though it has no doors, Whis tells everyone to push through the walls, and sure enough, everyone is able to pass straight through as if they were liquid. He says it will take three hours to travel from Earth to Beerus's planet, so everyone who needs to use the restrooms had better do so now. Goku and Vegeta still have not appeared, and Bulma assumes they are still in the Room of Spirit and Time. Jaco turns up, having brought the Galactic King with him. At first, Bulma assumes the king is Jaco's new girlfriend. The king is surprised everyone is so nonchalant about his presence, but Jaco explains they are all used to dealing with Kaiōshin and Gods of Destruction, so a Galactic King probably is not too big of a deal to them.
Finally, Goku and Vegeta turn up... with beards! They had the time difference a bit wrong, but thanks to that they were able to train that much longer. Kuririn is late too, having apparently been on the toilet. Everyone gets into the Cube, which takes off into space. With everyone crowded inside the small vessel, Majin Boo promptly farts. Goten complains, but Mister Satan jokes that this "truly is Majin Boo" (a joke on how buu is the Japanese sound effect for a fart, a connection joked about in the main series a few times as well).
On Beerus's planet, Jaco happily takes photos of the local fish. Whis is fine with people taking photos, but asks them not to post them online, since this location is supposed to be secret. Beerus comes out, bringing Monaka with him. Though Monaka is small and unimpressive-looking, Piccolo and Vegeta realize this probably means it is best not to underestimate him. Goku strikes up a conversation with Monaka, much to Beerus's annoyance. Whis had told him the name "Monaka" means "Big Ponta", but what exactly is a "Ponta"? Monaka explains that it simply means "nipples" and he got his name due to his large nipples. Goku is not sure how to react to this information, but asks Monaka if they can spar a little bit. Beerus objects, saying they need to focus on their upcoming matches... but Goku cannot resist sucker-punching Monaka square in the face. To Goku's surprise, the attack connects (he had assumed Monaka would dodge it), and Monaka seems genuinely hurt.
As the Cube now heads to the tournament grounds on the Nameless Planet, the gang samples Chi-Chi's cooking. Vegeta cannot wait to have his first decent meal in three years (due to his training inside the Room of Spirit and Time), but Monaka is not eating at all. Goku asks him about this, and Monaka explains that he does not eat much meat. This surprises Goku, who wonders if Monaka is trying to keep in shape. As the ship reaches its destination, the Super Dragon Balls come into view. They really are planet-sized! Everyone is amazed. Seeing the tournament grounds for the first time, Piccolo is impressed that they built such an elaborate compound for a one-time event. Did Champa build it all himself? Beerus says that Gods of Destruction do not create things... besides, if Champa had made it, it would look a lot tackier.
Champa overhears this remark and takes offense, but he is impressed Beerus was brave enough to show up. Beerus accuses Champa of sneaking into Universe 7 to collect the Super Dragon Balls, but says he will forgive him, since they are brothers. Besides, all the balls will be his soon anyway. Vados shows everyone the seating, but Trunks and Bulma are not satisfied. They came all this way, and these are the seats they get? Whis agrees, and uses his powers to instantly create better seats. Champa asks why Vados did not just make those kinds of stylish seats to begin with, but she explains that "making art the master doesn't understand insults the master" (implying anything too stylish would have gone over Champa's head).
Shin and Kibito arrive and greet Goku. Though normally fusing with the Potara is supposed to be permanent, it turns out they used the Namekian Dragon Balls to separate back into two people again (because being fused together "just didn't feel right"), which is why Goku could not locate their ki the other day. Elder Kaiōshin is there too, along with two similar-looking figures who Goku surmises must be the Kaiōshin of Universe 6. These Universe 6 Kaiōshin are surprised at how casually Goku talks with gods, and ask Elder Kaiōshin if he is friends with him; Elder Kaiōshin replies that they have been through a lot together.
Next the Universe 6 fighters enter. One looks like a robot, one looks like a bear, and the last one... looks like Freeza! A short, human-looking fighter approaches Goku and Vegeta, asking if they are Saiyans. When they say yes, he reveals that he is a Saiyan as well. Shocked, Vegeta asks what happened to his tail, and notes that his clothes resemble what the Saiyans wore before they became a part of Freeza's army. However, the other Saiyan is completely ignorant both of tails and Freeza. Vegeta next asks which planet the Saiyans of Universe 6 are based out of, and he says Planet Sadal. Vegeta is shocked even more: Planet Sadal still exists in Universe 6? Vegeta explains that in Universe 7, Planet Sadal was destroyed by Saiyan in-fighting, so the Saiyans stole another planet, which became Planet Vegeta. The Saiyan is shocked that the Saiyans of Universe 7 steal planets. Vegeta finds this perfectly natural; after all, the Saiyans are a warrior race... However, the other Saiyan thinks this is precisely why they should not be stealing planets. In Universe 6, the Saiyans' main job is being hired out to defeat evil-doers. Goku's impressed, saying that they are good guys, and Vegeta notes how different the two universes are.
Vados announces the start of the written test. Before going off, Vegeta says he would like to visit Planet Sadal someday if he gets the chance, and assures the other Saiyan that the Universe 7 Saiyans do not steal planets anymore. The Saiyan says that Vegeta is always welcome to come... but he will not hold back in the ring. At the test site, Vados explains that the test consists of ten simple questions to determine if someone has even the slightest amount of intelligence. They have ten minutes to complete the test, and a score of 50 points or higher is needed to pass. Goku has trouble with some basic math questions, and Vados warns him to keep quiet. Sadly, Boo fails to pass the test. Vegeta is aghast: this means they are down to only four fighters, right off the bat! This is precisely why he was against them picking Boo as a teammate... but Goku notes that the written test was Vegeta's idea. Beerus is frustrated, but says they will just have to fight that much harder.
With the written test out of the way, next they must decide the fighting order. Beerus says that since Monaka is strongest, he will be saved for last. The rest of the order will be decided by rock-paper-scissors. With the audience all seated, the tournament announcer says the tournament will begin with a performance of the "universal anthem". A small, penguin-like alien takes the stage, and in a deep voice sings "The universe is vast!" This, it turns out, is the entire "anthem". Now the tournament can begin! For the first match, Botamo from Universe 6 shall face off against... Goku!
Episode Notes
- The Galactic King was originally mentioned by name only in the final chapter of Akira Toriyama and Masakazu Katsura's Jiya in 2010, the duo's second entry in the Galactic Patrol series.[1] The character is formally unveiled in chapter two of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, a 2013 standalone prequel to Dragon Ball by Toriyama himself.[2]
- Though the five Universe 6 competitors and their names were formally unveiled by Toei,[3] only Botamo is actually referred to by name in this particular episode. While the Saiyan from Universe 6 speaks with Vegeta and Goku, he never introduces himself by name. This is similar to his introduction in chapter 7 of Toyotarō's manga, but he is credited in the episode as "Cabba".
- Yasunori Masutani revealed via his Twitter account that in addition to voicing the tournament's anthem singer, he also provided the voice of the Universe 6 Kaiōshin, which was not credited in the episode.[4] Also uncredited in the episode is the Kaiōshin's attendant, who is voiced by Kazunari Tanaka.
- Though the Tsufruians were never mentioned or included in Akira Toriyama's original manga, their concept did originate with Toriyama, which was instead used as filler material in Dragon Ball Z Episode 20 and anime/game-only material such as Dragon Ball GT and Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans. In addition, the name "Planet Plant" is also included in a memo from Toriyama, which ultimately became the original name of the planet inhabited by the Tsufruians and Saiyans before the Saiyans eventually took over. The information introduced about the Saiyans in this episode fits in with the information previously introduced in this supplemental material, allowing the Saiyans to have originated on some planet prior to their arrival on Planet Plant.
