Summary
Teams of ten warriors from each universe will compete in the Tournament of Power. The Great Priest explains that the tournament will be held on the "World of Void", a world without time or space. With nothing to get in the way, everyone will be able to fight to their heart's content.
What's more, the winning contestant will be able to make a wish on the Super Dragon Balls, which have already been assembled (in fact, Champa had already collected three on his). And the winning universe will receive…nothing. Everyone presses the Great Priest to explain this, and though he wasn't supposed to reveal this yet, since Goku is Omni-King's friend he agrees: the losing universes will be destroyed by Omni-King!
Everyone has trouble processing this information, but Great Priest continues with a special request for Goku. Before the main event, Goku and the others from Universe Seven will fight against another universe in front of the two Omni-Kings. The Omni-King from the future wasn't around to watch the tournament with Universe Six and wants to see what Goku and co. can do.
This "Zen Exhibition Match" (a match attended by the Omni-King), will serve as a preliminary to raise expectations for the main tournament. One hour from now, three Universe Seven warriors will face off against three from Universe Nine at Omni-King's Palace. With that, the Great Priest departs.
Shin wonders why exactly Universe Nine was selected as their opponent, while Beerus chews Goku out for the terrible danger he's brought upon the universe. Goku thinks they could just ask Omni-King not to destroy the universes, but Whis explains that since Omni-King and the Great Priest have already decided on it, there's no changing their minds. Even asking them to might be dangerous!
Goku being friends with Omni-King won't save him either; if he loses, Omni-King will still destroy him and the rest of Universe Seven. While Goku's upset about this unexpected development, he remains upbeat. He'll just have to win then! Goku goes back to Earth to pick his two teammates for the coming match. Vegeta still won't budge with Bulma about to give birth. Goten and Trunks are fighting nearby, and Vegeta suggests using them, but Goku isn't so sure. That gives him the idea to use Gohan though.
At Gohan's house, Goku tries to persuade the reluctant Gohan to enter the tournament; he's sure Gohan's knack for fighting will come right back. He even lets Gohan in on how if they lose this tournament, their universe will be destroyed. Gohan is shocked, but decides it's best to keep this information a secret from Videl and the others. They don't want to start a panic!
Videl stops by and hears about the tournament, and thinks it'd be fine for Gohan to help his father out like this. Pan returns from playing with Mister Satan and Majin Boo, and seeing her with Videl inspires Gohan to enter; he's got something to protect! Meanwhile, Goku goes to recruit Boo. Soon Goku, Gohan, Boo, and Satan all arrive at the Kaiōshin Realm (which Satan remembers from his previous visit).
Beerus wonders what Satan's doing there, but Satan explains how Boo will only listen to him. He takes Goku aside and asks if the others know about the universes being destroyed, but Goku says only Gohan does. Shin now takes the team to Omni-King's palace, where Beerus orders Satan not to say or do anything stupid, if he values his life.
Inside the palace they meet a dwarfish God of Destruction, an old Kaiōshin with a nasty grin, an Angel with shoulder-length hair, and three dog-like warriors. It's the group from Universe Nine! The two groups bow to each other, and the Great Priest prepares an arena with spectator seats. All the Kaiōshin, Gods of Destruction, and angels from the 12 universes are there to watch the match! Seeing Champa, Goku calls out to him, and Satan panics to see him act so friendly with a god. Goku thinks it's fine since he knows Champa, but even the Great Priest tells him to be quiet.
The Great Priest explains to the assembled gods that this match will serve as a preliminary for the Tournament of Power. The two Omni-Kings arrive with their attendants, and Goku flies up to greet them and thank them for holding this tournament, but Beerus angrily stops him. The Great Priest goes on to say how this tournament was Goku's idea, and Goku goes up to say a few words: he heard there were lots of strong guys throughout the universes, and wanted to fight them, so he asked the Omni-King to hold this tournament. He promises the Omni-Kings a good match!
The three fighters from each universe will fight one-on-one, in order. There is no time limit, and victory is decided once a fighter admits defeat or is unable to continue fighting. While there is no prize for winning, if the Omni-King finds the match to be boring, he may call the match off and erase them on the spot. First up from Universe Nine: Basil! First up from Universe Seven: Boo…who's fallen asleep. Satan wakes Boo up by giving him some chocolate, and promises him more if he "plays" with Basil.
Boo enters the arena, and the Great Priest declares the start of the match. Basil immediately starts kicking Boo around at a breakneck speed; even the two Omni-Kings think he's fast. Boo is knocked to the ground, but suddenly smiles…
