In space, Goku struggles to keep up with Beerus' attack, which ultimately ends up in a massive explosion, blinding everyone on Earth. Shortly after, the light clears out, revealing everything to be as it was prior to the explosion. Beerus explains that he used his full power to negate the explosion, thereby saving the Universe. Seeing it as a perfect opportunity to boast, Mr. Satan arranges to have him be falsely credited with saving the planet yet again. Despite being at his limit, Goku remains calm, which annoys the God of Destruction. Beerus thinks Goku might have a strategy that he has been hiding which Goku promptly denies, saying that everything he had been doing was improvised as they fought. The Gods quickly power up and continue fighting, but this time, both at their limit. As soon as they start, Goku loses his Super Saiyan God aura and reverts to the ordinary Super Saiyan form. Upon noticing that, Beerus decides to quit, thinking it is pointless to fight an ordinary Saiyan. Goku, however, does not notice and keeps going at it. Able to sense Goku's energy, Whis assumes that the battle has concluded and that Goku lost, but Piccolo begs to differ. Surprised that Goku is still able to hit him even after losing his God form, Beerus surmises that Goku's body has adjusted to the Super Saiyan God power, making him stronger in his ordinary form. Goku proclaims that, with or without the Super Saiyan God form, it is still him that Beerus is up against, and the two resume their battle. | ||

Goku manages to prevent Beerus' attack, but he completely depletes what was left of his energy in the process. He comes crashing down to Earth onto Bulma's ship, where Vegeta manages to catch him. Beerus lands on the planet shortly after to finish what he started, but he suddenly falls asleep. Whis explains that Goku must have tired Beerus out and that by the time he wakes up he will have forgotten about their trip to Earth.

Goku realizes that instant transmission is impossible due to the large distance between Earth and Beerus' planet. Nevertheless, Goku tries to search for someone's energy on Earth.

Gohan tells Piccolo that he intends to resume his training so that he can protect his loved ones, much to Piccolo's delight. | ||

| 28 | "The God of Destruction of the 6th Universe - His Name is Shanpa" "Dai-Roku Uchū no hakaishin sono na wa Shanpa" ( | January 24, 2016[7] |
| As Goku and Vegeta continue their vigorous training, Shanpa and Vados abruptly arrive on Beerus' planet. After a small skirmish between Beerus and Shanpa, everyone settles down to eat some food. Formal introductions are exchanged, where Shanpa is introduced as Beerus' twin brother and Vados as Whis' older sister. An argument erupts concerning which Universe's food is superior. This leaves Goku and Vegeta bewildered. Whis explains that there are twelve universes, with two universes that add up to thirteen being compliments of one another such as sixth and seventh. After Vados discovers that Universe Six's Earth has been destroyed through warfare, Shanpa proposes a tournament between Universes Six and Seven to determine who acquires the Earth of Universe Seven. Beerus protests the idea, believing it to be impossible. Shanpa, however, ascertains that it is doable by using the Super Dragon Balls, which the Namekian Dragon Balls were trimmed from. Goku informs Beerus and Shanpa that Bulma is capable of locating the final Super Dragon Ball necessary to perform the wish. With tensions mounted, Beerus accepts Shanpa's proposal. | ||
| 29 | "It is Settled - We are Holding a Martial Arts Match! The Team Captain is Even Stronger than Goku" "Kakutō shiai kaisai kettei! Shushō wa Gokū yori tsuyoi yatsu" ( | January 31, 2016[7] |
| Shanpa decides to host the tournament on a vacated nameless planet in Universe Six. Goku suggests the rules be similar to that of the Tenkaichi Budokai tournaments held on Earth. Vegeta recommends a written exam be implemented in order to prevent insensitive beings lacking knowledge of the regulations from participating. The tournament is scheduled to begin several days after the encounter between Beerus and Shanpa. On Earth, Whis requests that Bulma use her Dragon Radar in order to obtain the final Super Dragon Ball. Contrary to this, Bulma believes it would be easier to simply summon Shenlong to locate it instead. Shenlong reveals that tracking down the Super Dragon Balls is beyond his power. Meanwhile, Vados selects a portion of the nameless planet and transforms it into the tournament's arena. After judging Whis' students, Shanpa realizes he should also enlist a Saiyan onto his team. Beerus explains that Goku is merely the second strongest opponent he has ever faced. He proceeds to take off to inform Monaka (モナカ), the strongest warrior he has ever fought, of the tournament. The next morning, Bulma finishes constructing the Super Dragon Radar. She intends to collect the Super Dragon Balls of Universe Seven before Beerus can use them to wish for total annihilation of the entire world. | ||
| 30 | "Training for the "Martial Arts Tournament" - Who are the Two Remaining Members?!" ""Kakutō shiai" e no o sarai nokori futari no menbā wa dareda!?" (『 | February 7, 2016[7] |
| Goku and Vegeta recruit Piccolo and Majin Boo as the remaining combatants of the Universe Seven team. Gohan considered joining the team, but he ended up stuck in a business meeting on the day of the tournament. Beerus and the others think back over recent events. Beerus and Whis contemplate the intentions behind Shanpa's plans. A series of flashbacks recapping the series is shown up to Freeza's demise. | ||
| 31 | "To Lord Zuno! Ask About the Location of the Super Dragon Balls!" "Zunō-sama no moto e! Sūpā Doragon Bōru no arika o kikidase!" (ズノー様のもとへ! 超ドラゴンボールのありかを | February 14, 2016[7] |
| Bulma and Jaco travel to meet Zunō-sama (ズノー様), an omniscient alien, to ask him about the Super Dragon Balls. After arriving on Zunō-sama's planet, the duo encounters a spacefaring criminal named Geppuman (ゲップマン) who is wanted for leaving a restaurant without paying the bill. As a reward for subduing the criminal, Zunō-sama's attendants allow Bulma and Jaco to skip the lengthy waiting list and seek Zunō-sama advice right away. Bulma unwittingly wastes two of her three questions, but she does glean information on the radius and other properties of the Super Dragon Balls. This includes the fact that they were formerly scattered across both Universe Six and Seven. | ||
| 32 | "The Match Begins! Everyone, Head to the Nameless Star!" "Shiaikaishi da! Min’na de “Namae no nai hoshi” e!" ( | February 21, 2016[7] |
| On Earth, everyone gathers for the trip to the tournament. Goku and Vegeta arrive after having trained in the Room of Spirit and Time. After stopping at Beerus' planet to get both him and Monaka, everyone proceeds to go to the tournament. The group meets their competition who are all somewhat unusual. This includes a Saiyan with a radically different history as well as a fighter who looks like Freeza. After the written test, the Universe Seven team is left one team member down because Majin Boo falls asleep. Majin Boo is deemed unfit and disqualified. Beerus decides that Monaka will go last. After a round of janken, it is decided that Goku will fight first, followed by Vegeta and then Piccolo. Goku and his competitor named Botamo (ボタモ) who is a giant bear-like creature enter the tournament ring. | ||
| 33 | "Be Surprised, Universe 6! This is Super Saiyan - Son Goku!" "Odoroke Dai-Roku Uchū yo! Kore ga Sūpā Saiya-jin ・ Son Gokū da!" ( | February 28, 2016[7] |
| The fight between Goku and Botamo commences. Goku takes a while to warm up due to having overeaten during the trip. Although Goku seems faster and more well trained than Botamo, none of the hits that he lands seem to have an effect. Botamo seems content to simply take the punishment. Urged by Vegeta to think before he acts, Goku drags Botamo to the side of the ring and then throws him out. This results in a win for Universe Seven. The next match begins almost immediately. The Freeza look alike named Frost (フロスト Furosuto) is Goku's next opponent. In direct contrast to Freeza, Frost is a kind and beloved hero in Universe Six who looks forward to a challenge. Goku surprises Frost with knowledge of his transformations. Frost assumes a form that mirrors Freeza's third form. Goku mentions his ability to transform as well. He transforms into a Super Saiyan. Frost responds by transforming into his final form. Frost seems greatly outmatched by Goku even in his final transformation. Suddenly, a strange effect comes over Goku that severely weakens him and allows Frost a chance to strike. Frost knocks Goku out of the ring, which stuns everyone from Universe Seven. | ||
| 34 | "Piccolo vs. Frost! Bet Everything on the Makankosappo!" "Pikkoro VS Furosuto! Makankōsappō ni subete o kakero!" (ピッコロVSフロスト! | March 6, 2016[7] |
| Frost beats Goku by knocking him out of the ring. Piccolo walks up to Frost to face him next. Piccolo charges his signature attack while simultaneously evading Frost's attacks. To buy himself time to charge his attack, Piccolo creates clones of himself to distract Frost. Frost quickly disposes of decoys and charges at Piccolo. After a bout of close combat, Frost defeats Piccolo with a power blast. Before the referees could rule in Frost's favor, Jaco chimes in claiming that Frost had been cheating all along. The referees examine Frost and find that he had been using a forbidden tool. Shanpa is initially outraged to find that Frost had cheated. Shanpa decides to forgive and help him in his Universe if Frost continues to play by the rules. Frost reveals that he set up the attacks on the planets he saved. The referees declare Piccolo the winner until Vegeta steps in and says that he wishes to face Frost. | ||
| 35 | "Turn Anger Into Power! Vegeta's All-Out Battle!" "Ikari o chikara ni kaero! Bejīta no zenkai batoru" ( | March 20, 2016[7] |
| Frost cockily announces his intent to utterly defeat Vegeta in combat with the presentation of yet another weapon. Both parties agree that the match should not be regulated by the standard rules of the tournament in order to avoid disqualification and allow the combatants to fight at their full power. Vegeta mercilessly assaults Frost and sends him flying out of the barrier. He then declares that he did not kill Frost because he was not going to stoop down to the latter's level. Beerus discovers that Goku was also affected by Frost's weapon, and he proceeds to convince the referee to allow Goku to return to the competition. Goku protests the turn order because he desperately wants to see Monaka in combat. Beerus explains that Monaka, as his trump card, must fight last. This prompts a hushed remark from Whis concerning Monaka's "true colors". Vados generates a new barrier around the ring as the referee announces a new rule, where any contact an individual makes with the barrier automatically disqualifies them. Meanwhile, Frost attempts to steal the tournament winnings and escape in Shanpa's transportation cube. Frost is stunned by Hit (ヒット Hitto), a purple humanoid, in the process. Hit then takes the unconscious Frost back to the arena. The next match begins. Vegeta faces off against the robot Magetta (マゲッタ). The audience begins to dispute over Magetta's eligibility because of the fact that Magetta can spit lava. Magetta is declared eligible because the lava is just his saliva. Magetta's volcanic fumes engulf the barrier and cause Vegeta to perspire rapidly and breathe heavily from the extreme heat. | ||
| 36 | "An Unexpectedly Hard Fight?! Vegeta’s Explosion of Rage!" "Masaka no dai kusen!? Bejīta ikari no dai bakuhatsu!" (まさかの | March 27, 2016[7] |
| Vegeta continues his battle with Magetta. He is struggling against the rising temperatures in the enclosed arena. Vegeta tries to win quickly, but Magetta endures and counters his attacks. Magetta follows it with a punch that sends Vegeta flying toward the ground. After nearly being disqualified through by going out of bounds, Vegeta powers up in anger and destroys the barrier of the arena. He blasts Magetta and forces him to the very edge of the stage. Rushing up to his combatant, Vegeta forces Magetta out of the ring with a quick series of punches. | ||
| 37 | "Don't Forget Your Saiyan Pride! Vegeta vs. Saiyan of the Universe 6" "Saiyajin no hokori o wasureruna! Bejīta VS Dai-Roku Uchū no saiyajin" (サイヤ | April 3, 2016[7] |
| Vegeta faces Kyabe (キャベ), a slim and short Saiyan from Universe Six, in the following round. Unlike their Universe Seven counterparts, Saiyans of Universe Six are heroic and kind. They are known as benevolent galactic protectors. Vegeta and Kyabe are initially equally matched. After Vegeta pushes Kyabe to power up, Kyabe admits he cannot do it. Kyabe asks for Vegeta to teach him how to transform. This seemingly enrages Vegeta. Vegeta transforms into a Super Saiyan and begins to mercilessly beat Kyabe. Vegeta threatens Kyabe. He says he will kill him and destroy his planet if he forfeits. An enraged Kyabe suddenly transforms and goes on the offensive. Vegeta reveals that, since the Super Saiyan transformation is unlocked through drawing on one's inner anger, his actions were intended to bring about that transformation. Vegeta quickly powers up even more and knocks Kyabe out with a single punch. After the fight, Kyabe thanks Vegeta for telling him about his untapped potential. Vegeta brushes him off and tells him not to forget his Saiyan pride and to aim to surpass all other Saiyans. Kyabe acknowledges Vegeta's advice and walks off stage. With Universe Six now down to their last fighter, Shanpa is still unconcerned as he is certain his hit man Hit will be able to settle the score. | ||
| 38 | "Universe 6’s Most Powerful Warrior! Meet Hit Man Hit!!" "Dai-Roku Uchū saikyō no senshi! Koroshi ya Hitto kenzan!!" ( | April 10, 2016[7] |
| Vegeta and Hit start their battle. To Vegeta's surprise, he is unable to land a single blow on Hit due to his superior speed. Eventually, Vegeta is struck by a heavy blow and collapses. Hit is declared the winner of the match. Suddenly, it is revealed that Hit used a "time-skipping" technique, where he gets to time travel and be the only person able to move for a split second. Goku walks up to battle Hit. Initially, Hit overpowers Goku, which prompts him to ask Goku to surrender. Goku refuses and says he used the time to figure out how Hit's technique works. Goku predicts Hit's moves and evades his attacks. Hit claims that Goku's foresight was a just a fluke and that he will not be able to use it again. However, Goku is, yet again, able to foresee Hit's attacks and defend himself. Goku proposes that both of them fight at their full power. Hit concurs and withdraws. Shortly after, both start preparing for their next fight. | ||
| 39 | "Great "Time-skipping" Counterattack?! Is It Coming? Goku's New Technique!" "Seichōshita "toki tobashi" no hangeki!? Deru ka!? Gokū no aratana waza!" ( | April 17, 2016[7] |
| Goku and Hit both power up before the match. Goku is finally able to counter Hit's time-manipulating attacks, which displeases Hit. Hit tries to power up even more, but Goku prevents him. Soon after, Hit manages to counter Goku's blows, while he simultaneously grows even stronger. Badly hurt, Goku hits the ground. Shanpa tells Hit to finish off Goku, but Hit refuses to obey his order. Goku manages to get back on his feet, and the two resume their fight. Goku is soon backed into a corner and resorts to his Kaiō-ken technique, which greatly increases his strength and speed. Having powered up, Goku begins pummeling and blasting Hit, who manages to evade most of the attacks with ease. | ||
| 40 | "Conclusion at Last! Is Beerus the Winner? Or is it Shanpa?" "Tsuini ketchaku! Shōsha wa Birusu? Soretomo Shanpa?" (ついに | April 24, 2016[7] |
| Goku and Hit fight to an indecisive stalemate. Neither side is able to gain ground against the other. Goku requests that the rules of the fight be waived so that Hit can use his assassination techniques freely. Shanpa and Beerus argue over this decision. During their argument, Goku jumps out of the arena, forfeiting the match as a result. Goku argues that he would have been unable to continue due to the strain on his body brought on by his Kaiō-ken technique. Shortly after, Monaka walks up to face Hit. Monaka easily defeats Hit in a single punch. With Hit defeated, the Universe Seven team comes out as the winners of the tournament. Just as the festivities are about to conclude, Zenō (全王), a mysterious "King of Universes", appears in the center of the arena. | ||
| 41 | "Come, God of Dragons - And Pretty Please Grant My Wish!" "Ide deyo kami no ryū - soshite negai o kanaete chonmage!" ( | May 1, 2016[7] |
| Zenō announces that he will organize a martial arts tournament for all twelve universes. Goku disrespectfully approaches and talks to Zenō, much to everyone else's discomfort. Shanpa scolds his team for losing and orders them to train for the upcoming tournament. Shanpa and his team leave shortly afterwards. Beerus asks the Earthlings to find the Super Dragon Balls. Android 18 notices that all Super Dragon Balls are clumped together on the radar. Goku, Beerus and the others leave for the location of the Super Dragon Balls. Once they are there, Whis summons Sūpā Shenlong (スーパーシェンロン), a more powerful version of Shenlong. Unknown to anyone else, Beerus secretly wishes to have Universe Six's Earth restored back to normal. Vados informs Shanpa what Beerus wished for. Whis leaves Beerus and Monaka on Beerus' planet and departs for Earth. Monaka is revealed to be a mere mail deliveryman who is an aspiring fighter. Beerus rewards Monaka with money for his help motivating Goku and Vegeta. Goku, Vegeta and others from Earth return home, much to Goku's delight. | ||
