Chapter Summaries

Beerus appointed Frieza as his agent and ordered him to destroy the Saiyans, after which Frieza killed the witnesses aboard his ship and began planning Planet Vegeta’s destruction.

Talot, Selari, and Gine left Planet Vegeta for Aoyun Planet after Bardock warned them not to respond to contact unless he initiated it. Once safely in space, Talot looked ahead to their mission and to gaining strength, while Gine worried their farewell to Bardock might be their last.

Bardock sent Talot, Selari, and Gine away from Planet Vegeta before preparing to leave for Planet Kanassa, while King Vegeta learned that Frieza was preparing to attack. As King Vegeta considered the threat and the growing legend of the Super Saiyan, he wondered whether the newborn with a battle power of 10,000 could be the legendary warrior.

King Vegeta brooded over Broly’s overwhelming battle power while Broly and Paragus struggled to survive Vampa Planet’s storms. Ten days into their journey, Talot modified Gine’s Battle Power Detector to prevent tracking, claiming the change was Bardock’s order.

• King Vegeta erupted in anger over Broly’s battle power and wished that Broly and Paragus had died on Vampa Planet.
• Paragus and Broly carried supplies into their underground cave to shelter from Vampa Planet’s annual storm.

• Talot finished modifying Selari’s detector and several spares, then explained to Selari that the changes were meant to protect them from monitoring.
• Selari admired Talot’s 1,200 Battle Power, and Talot modestly credited his progress to Ki Cultivation.

Talot, Gine, and Selari arrived on Aoyun Planet and discovered that its inhabitants were far stronger than the reports had suggested. Talot suspected King Vegeta had falsified the planet’s data to kill them, but the group had no way to confirm his theory.

• Talot, Gine, and Selari landed their spaceship on Aoyun Planet after two months of travel.
• Talot sensed many powerful life signatures and found that some had Battle Power above 500, including one at least 600 or 700.
• Gine checked her Battle Power Detector and realized Aoyun Planet was far more dangerous than the intelligence reports claimed.

• Gine questioned Talot’s theory, and Talot admitted he hoped he was overthinking it.
• Talot noted that the spaceship had likely been listed as lost contact for a month and a half, leaving no one monitoring them.

Talot, Gine, and Selari explored the area around their hidden spaceship on Aoyun Planet, marveling at their freedom and discovering giant beasts fighting in the distance. The sight prompted Talot to reflect on the cruelty of Saiyan life as the group continued into the dangerous world.

• Talot reassured Gine that they would scout only nearby and explained that he could leave a clone to guard the spaceship during future expeditions.
• Selari asked Talot to teach her his cloning technique, and he promised to do so after she raised her Battle Power above 500.
• Talot, Gine, and Selari flew freely across Aoyun Planet, leaving behind the tension of their space journey.
• Selari spotted countless giant beasts fighting, and Gine wondered whether they were battling over territory or something else.
• Talot observed Gine's interest and Selari's fear, then reflected that Saiyans could be good to their own family while being cruel to those they invaded.

Talot, Gine, and Selari discovered that giant beasts were battling around a tree bearing strange blood-colored fruits. Drawn toward the fruits by his instincts, Talot approached, and the Giant Serpent and Dreadbeast confronted him.

• Talot reasoned that the giant beasts might make parts of the planet too dangerous for the Aoyun Star People to inhabit.
• Talot decided to investigate the beasts' battle while Gine and Selari stayed behind.
• Selari spotted a strange fruit tree near the Giant Serpent and Dreadbeast, and Talot suspected its blood-colored fruits had sparked the slaughter.
• Talot felt his body instinctively urge him to eat the fruits and wondered whether they could increase his strength like the Fruit of Might.
• The Giant Serpent and Dreadbeast noticed Talot and roared at him, but he remained confident despite their enormous size.

Talot killed the Giant Serpent and Dreadbeast when they attacked him, then protected the Blood-colored Fruit Tree from the other beasts. Gine recognized the fruit, leaving Talot with a possible clue about its nature.

• The Giant Serpent struck at Talot, while the Dreadbeast lunged to bite him; Talot held its jaws open and killed it with a Light Bullet that exploded inside its body.
• The Giant Serpent coiled around Talot and attacked with its tail, but Talot shattered the tail with a punch and finished the beast with an energy wave before it hit the Blood-colored Fruit Tree.
• As the tree absorbed the beasts’ blood and other giant beasts rushed toward it, Talot descended to the Blood-colored Fruit and decided to examine it before eating or taking it.
• Gine and Selari came down and killed three approaching giant beasts; Talot warned them the area was dangerous, and Selari insisted she could protect herself.
• Gine examined the Blood-colored Fruit and said she recognized what kind of fruit it was.

Talot, Gine, and Selari discovered blood-colored fruits that could heal injuries and increase Battle Power, and Gine explained that she and Bardock had eaten similar fruits before. As Gine and Selari went to fetch the spaceship, Talot stayed to guard the tree and destroyed a giant beast that attacked it.

• Gine recognized the blood-colored fruits as ones she and Bardock had eaten during a mission, and described how they restored hunger and increased their strength.
• Talot agreed that they could eat the fruits but decided they needed the spaceship to carry the large harvest away.
• Gine took Selari back to retrieve the spaceship while Talot stayed behind to guard the fruits.
• Talot released his Battle Power of 1,300 to deter approaching beasts, but a powerful beast with a Battle Power of 600 charged at the fruit tree.
• Talot fired a golden energy wave and blew the attacking beast into fragments.

Talot drove off the giant beasts, collected the Blood-colored Fruits with Gine and Selari, and found a safe place to rest. After eating one fruit, Talot’s battle power rose from 1,300 to 1,500, and he gave one fruit each to Gine and Selari to test their gains.

• Talot killed the overlord-class giant beast with a powerful energy wave, frightening the other beasts away from the Blood-colored Fruit.
• Gine returned to Talot, and the group collected all twenty-four Blood-colored Fruits before leaving the withering tree behind.

• Talot gave a fruit each to Gine and Selari so they could test how much their strength would increase.

• Gine and Selari ate Blood Fruits, raising their Battle Power to 830 and 440 points respectively.
• Talot, Gine, and Selari ate more Blood Fruits, and their strength continued to rise, though the gains diminished with repeated meals.
• The three finished all twenty-four fruits over several days, reaching Battle Power totals of 1850 for Talot, 1120 for Gine, and 890 for Selari.
• On the eighth day, Talot trained with Gine and Selari to help them master their increased strength.
• Talot found that Gine could suppress him in an even match and recognized that Selari also fought well, so he resolved to train harder.
