"Hunt the Poachers! Goku and No. 17's Joint Battle!!" is the eighty-seventh episode of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super. The episode first aired in Japan on Fuji TV on 23 April 2017, receiving a ratings share of 5.5%. It was written by Toshio Yoshitaka and directed by Akio Yamaguchi.
Synopsis
No. 17 works on his own as an animal ranger on a large island! Goku tries to recruit him to enter the Tournament of Power, but gets turned down! The two then sense someone approaching. The sky goes dark, and when they look up, an enormous space ship appears, capturing the island’s animals one by one. Wanting to recruit No. 17 for the tournament at all costs, Goku teams up with him. In order to protect the island's animals, they board the space ship, where they find a gang of poachers who capture and sell animals, traveling from planet to planet in their spaceship poaching. With his prided battle power, No. 17 has the Galactic Poacher Boss on the ropes. After the poachers are defeated with Goku's help, he agrees to enter the tournament. Meanwhile, Gohan is off visiting Piccolo.[1][2][3][4][5]
Summary
While No. 17 has turned down Goku's offer to join the Universe Seven team, Goku won't take "no" for an answer. He tells No. 17 that the Super Dragon Balls are the prize for winning the Tournament of Power. No. 17 seems impressed, but the two are interrupted by the sound of the Minotaur roaring. Something is approaching the island...and Goku senses an incredible number of ki!
A gigantic spaceship descends from the sky and begins abducting the island's rare animals. No. 17 flies off to stop them, and Goku insists on tagging along. He grabs No. 17 and teleports them inside the ship as it takes off back in to space. Inside they find themselves surrounded by cages full of animals poached from various worlds.
An alarm sounds and guards rush in, but Goku easily subdues them. No. 17 warns Goku to be careful not to break the spaceship, or else the animals will die. Back on Earth, Kuririn can sense Goku's ki getting farther away, and wonders if he's managed to recruit No. 17. No. 18 thinks Goku and No. 17 are both childish, and hopes that they're not goofing off together.
On the ship, No. 17 leaves Goku to take care of the goons while he rushes ahead to defeat the boss (much to Goku's chagrin). The alien poachers' boss is thrilled to have finally obtained the legendary Minotaur, but No. 17 barges in on him. The boss summons a pair of bodyguards and threatens to have No. 17 cut up and served for dinner along with his precious animals, but No. 17 wastes no time in defeating them. There's a reason he's entrusted to protect an entire island all on his own!
No. 17 orders the boss to return all the animals to their home worlds (that way, he'll spare his life), and Goku catches up with No. 17. Like the poachers on Earth, the aliens are after the Minotaur so that they can sell its horns at a high price. Rumor has it the beast's horns can be used to make an immortality elixir. The boss doesn't know if that's true or not, but who cares so long as he can make money off it?
The boss tries to bribe No. 17, but he's uninterested. It's not that he's fighting for justice or anything fancy; he simply hates annoying stuff like this. Cornered, the boss pulls out a control switch: once he pushes this button, the entire spaceship will explode!
In fact, the boss does push the button! And the ship does explode! Or so it seems, but actually this is just part of Beerus' dream. He wakes up screaming and tells Whis about having a terrible nightmare in which Goku died. Surely this must be a bad omen! Beerus' scream causes Bra to start crying, and Vegeta wishes that the bothersome god would go sleep somewhere else. His house isn't a capsule hotel!
Back at the (non-exploded) ship, the boss explains that his body contains a self-destruct device. Once he presses the switch, it's goodbye spaceship and animals! Will No. 17 turn a blind eye to the animals he's protected and save himself instead? While the boss goes on taunting him, No. 17 tells Goku to take care of the animals for him...and to give his regards to his wife, kids, and No. 18. With that, he grabs the boss and flies out of the ship, safely away from the animals.
But Goku grabs No. 17 and the boss and teleports them to Kaiō's planet. Goku decided to bring the self-destructing baddie here just like with Cell, but Kaiō is not pleased: his planet is not a bomb disposal! Goku thinks it will be fine, since the boss probably won't be able to move under the heavy gravity of Kaiō's planet, and even if he does explode, Kaiō is already dead.
Goku wants to teleport back with No. 17, but Kaiō is still not happy with this. Fortunately, Dende telepathically contacts Goku to inform him that the boss doesn't actually have a self-destruct mechanism in his body. It was all a bluff! When the boss finally does push the switch, only confetti pops out. Turns out, he was planning to hold a surprise birthday party later...
Goku and No. 17 return to Earth, where Jaco arrives to take the alien poachers into custody. The Galactic Patrol has been chasing after this group for years, so if all goes well, Jaco might even get promoted (naturally, he intends to take all the credit even though Goku and No. 17 did the fighting).
Jaco departs, leaving Goku and No. 17 alone again. Now No. 17 feels that he owes Goku one, and agrees to join his team. He'll just have to let Goten and Trunks take care of the island after all. If they win, he wants to use the Super Dragon Balls to wish for a big cruise ship, so that he can travel the world with his family.
No. 17 asks Goku what he plans to wish for, but Goku's not sure. No. 17 reflects that this was a silly question to ask a world savior, but Goku doesn't see himself in that light. He just likes to fight strong guys, and if he ends up saving people along the way (like during this instance), that's fine too. It must be Grandpa Gohan's influence on him.
No. 17 feels funny about teaming up with Goku after being modified to kill him. Goku assures him that's normal though: Tenshinhan, Piccolo, and Vegeta all started out as his enemies. No. 17 asks if his "brother" (meaning Kuririn, his brother-in-law) will be on the team, and Goku confirms that he will. Not only that, but Boo will be too!...Though not the Boo that Goku defeated with the Genki-Dama (whom No. 17 remembers, somehow).
No. 17 is impressed: it sounds like quite a team. Only 23 hours and 20 minutes remain until the Tournament of Power!
