Snak is home to the cat-like Snakian race. Planet Snak (スナク星 Sunaku-sei) is itself never actually seen in the series: it is known only through a diplomatic mission to Planet Earth in the anime-exclusive scenario of episode 15 of the Dragon Ball Super television series, which premiered 18 October 2015 on Fuji TV in Japan.

Name

Planet Snak's name (スナク sunaku) is likely taken from the English term "snack" (スナック sunakku) by removing the geminate consonant toward the end of the word.

Overview

The Snak secretary analyzes the dogs of Planet Earth from their spaceship.

Shortly after Son Goku becomes a Super Saiyan God to challenge Beerus, the God of Destruction of Universe 7, news of the battle reaches Planet Snak. An ambassador and a secretary travel to Planet Earth with the Snakian warrior Galbi to honor the hero who drove off the God of Destruction. On the way to Earth, they express concern that they will encounter a dog race with intelligence comparable to their own, but the secretary assures the ambassador the dogs of Earth should not concern them.

The Snakians land on Earth near Mister Satan, who had been holding a press conference to take credit for the defeat of Beerus. The people of Earth are scared of the Snakians, and the ambassador laments that it is like this everywhere they go. He and the secretary perform a song and dance to salute the people of Earth, calling it the greatest respect a Snakian can give. They ask for the identity of the hero who drove off the God of Destruction, and Satan steps forward to claim credit. The ambassador is skeptical, but then the secretary points out the golden statue of Mister Satan above the pavilion. The ambassador gives his respects to Satan and informs him that he is admired throughout the cosmos. The ambassador then presents a medal, and a reporter steps forward to inform her audience that Satan is now a cosmic hero.

However, Galbi is still skeptical. He emerges from the spaceship and demands the opportunity to test Satan's prowess for himself. The ambassador asks Satan to honor his request and fight the hero of Planet Snak. Satan tries to claim fatigue from his recent battle, but then the crowd begins chanting his name. He escapes to the restroom and tries to call Son Gohan to fight in his place, but Gohan is cooking for Videl and does not answer the phone. He tries Vegeta next, but no one is answering the phone at Capsule Corporation. He emerges from the restroom to find that an arena has been set up for the fight.

Galbi cannot sense Satan's ki and believes this is the sign of a great warrior. Satan tries stalling for time with stretches and desperately searches the crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of Goku or Vegeta, or even Kuririn or "that green guy," or even Goten or Trunks. Just then, Goku happens to pass above with his tractor. He lands behind the crowd and shouts out encouragement to Satan, who rushes to beg him to take his place in the ring. Galbi is insulted, and the other Snakians think that Goku is obviously just a backwoods bumpkin. Then Piccolo, who is shopping with Chi-Chi, notices Goku as he walks near the crowd. Chi-Chi demands that Goku get back to work. Goku asks Satan to punch him so that no one will know he can fly, so Satan obliges him and he abandons Chi-Chi and the fight, grabbing his tractor on the way out and leaving Satan to face Galbi again.

Galbi attacks, and Satan cannot run fast enough to get away from him. Just then, Bee heads for the arena. Satan is overcome with shame, and he stops to face Galbi, reminding himself of the time he "saved" Videl from Beerus with the power of his love. He imagines himself becoming a Super Saiyan. As Galbi's punch lands, though, the Snakian catches sight of Bee. Terrified, he runs to hide in the ship. The secretary tries to reassure the other Snakians; this dog is not evolved like "that other race." Bee turns around to look at him and the ambassador, and they are struck with terror. They run for their ship, but the secretary reminds the ambassador that they must pay their respects. They perform the song and dance one more time, and finally depart.

On the ship, Galbi is traumatized. The secretary muses that it could be many thousands of years before they can conquer "that race." Back on Earth, Bee carries the Snakian medal in his mouth to Satan, who dons it and boasts to the crowd about his godly power.
