Chapter Summaries

After transmigrating into the Dragon Ball World as the Saiyan Gran, he woke gravely injured and abandoned on a planet after Vegeta left him behind. Unable to move or escape, Gran called for Whis and offered him delicious food, hoping the Angel would save him.

• Vegeta refused to rescue the wounded Gran and left the planet with his squad, abandoning Gran after his tail had been cut off.
• Gran woke three days later, realized he had transmigrated into the Dragon Ball World, and recalled that Saiyan transformations and godhood could make him powerful.
• Gran recognized that it was Age 737 and that Vegeta's Squad had survived Planet Vegeta's destruction, but his injuries and hunger left him close to death.
• Gran realized Whis might answer his call because Beerus had recently gone to sleep, so he weakly summoned Whis and promised him the universe's most delicious food.

Whis left the God of Destruction Realm after hearing Gran promise him delicious food, but refused to save the dying Saiyan when he arrived. As Gran neared death, a powerful aura and dimensional fluctuations erupted from his body, catching Whis’s attention.

• Prophecy Fish complained that Beerus was lazy, and Whis agreed to keep quiet about the insult in exchange for food.
• Whis heard Gran offer him delicious food and flew off, leaving Prophecy Fish to fall asleep and begin a prophecy.
• Gran waited as his injuries worsened, fearing he would die before he could challenge Beerus and King of All.
• Whis arrived and questioned Gran about his plans to punch Beerus and kick someone, then refused to save him because Angels could not interfere in the universe’s affairs.
• As Whis turned to leave, Gran’s body released a powerful aura with dimensional fluctuations, making Whis look at him seriously.

After Gran nearly died, his Dimension surged to the Supreme Kai Realm Peak, and Whis saved him and brought him to the God Realm of Destruction. Gran woke there and agreed to cook for Whis, who planned to keep observing him.

• Gran's original body's soul collapsed, and after Gran devoured it, his Dimension broke through to the Realm King Realm and his strength rose two hundred times.
• Whis healed Gran as he neared death, and Gran's Dimension advanced again to the Supreme Kai Realm Peak; an unknown Dimension Seed appeared within Gran's soul.

• Whis questioned Gran about how he knew of King of All, but Gran claimed he had read the name in a Saiyan History Book.
• Whis asked Gran to provide the most delicious food in the universe, and Gran offered to cook with ingredients Whis supplied.
• Whis produced a huge fish, and Gran decided to prepare a Full Fish Feast while hoping Whis might teach him Ultra Instinct or Destruction Energy.

Gran prepared a giant fish feast in the God of Destruction Realm, impressing Whis with his cooking and earning his gratitude. After noticing that Gran’s power was far beyond his expected 800 Battle Power, Whis continued observing him, while Gran asked Whis to guide his training.

• Gran sensed that his strength seemed far greater than 800 Battle Power and fired a Kamehameha at a distant mountain range, which remained unharmed.
• Whis realized Gran’s power had increased two hundredfold after his Dimension ascending and suspected his Saiyan Physique had helped him recover and grow stronger.

• Whis enthusiastically ate Gran’s cooking, admitted it deserved to be called the most delicious food in the universe, and thanked Gran for saving his life.
• Gran respectfully asked Whis to guide him in his training.

Gran persuaded Whis to guide his training and settled in the God of Destruction Realm, though Beerus might destroy him if he woke. At Frieza Headquarters, Frieza learned that Vegeta had abandoned Gran and sent the young prince on another mission.

• Gran offered to cook for Whis in exchange for training, and Whis agreed to guide him starting the next day.

• Five-year-old Vegeta received another assignment, threatened Raditz and his squad, and launched with them from Frieza Headquarters.

Whis trained Gran to control the strength he had gained from his dimensional advancement by sending him into a brutal world inside the God of Destruction Palace. After only a month, Gran emerged battered but apparently having mastered his strength.

• Whis explained that Gran's strength had surged two hundredfold but remained unstable, so Gran needed to build a foundation and master every strand of it.
• Whis led Gran into the palace, where Beerus's sleeping aura overwhelmed him but did not destroy him.
• Whis kicked Gran into a vast, harsh world filled with extreme gravity and giant beasts, telling him he would need to endure three years there.
• A month later, Whis lamented missing Gran's cooking as the battered Gran walked out of the palace, apparently having mastered his strength.

Gran returned after a month in the Mysterious Space and had completely mastered the power in his body. Whis recognized Gran’s talent and began preparing him for deeper training, while Gran hurried off to cook after Whis healed him.

• Whis was shocked when Gran emerged from the Mysterious Space after only a month, having gained absolute control over his power.
• Gran described surviving extreme weather, crushing gravity, hunger, and gigantic beasts that hunted him, and complained that Whis had not warned him about the ordeal.
• Whis told Gran that Beerus had also trained in the space, but Gran wrongly assumed Beerus had escaped in less than half a month and felt discouraged.
• Gran released a violent aura and asked how to calm his power, and Whis explained that controlling power and calming it were separate stages of training.
• Whis sent Gran to cook while promising that deeper training would come later, then healed his injuries and restored his stamina.
• Gran dropped his resentment, thanked Whis, and ran to the stove, planning to serve him dumplings with half the wrappers.

Frieza dismissed the Saiyan child exiled to Earth as harmless and sent Vegeta’s squad on another mission, prompting them to plan a three-year absence. In the God of Destruction Realm, Gran learned that his violent power came from chaotic ki, and he asked Whis whether mastering his state of mind could calm it.

• Dodoria told Frieza that Raditz’s younger brother had been exiled to Earth with a birth Battle Power of 2, and Frieza laughed him off as no threat.
• Frieza ordered Vegeta’s squad to continue cleansing planets for his business, and Vegeta decided the squad would stay away on its next mission for three years.
• Gran trained in the God of Destruction Realm, where Whis noted that his Battle Power had reached 320,000 after repeated escapes in a mysterious world.
• Gran asked Whis how to control his violent power, and Whis explained that chaotic ki caused it and that constant warfare had disrupted the ki of Saiyans and other aliens.
• Gran asked whether the state of mind Whis had mentioned could calm his ki.

Gran trained his state of mind under Whis and rapidly mastered the First and Second Layers, causing his aura to spread across Universe 7. His silver radiance awakened Beerus and alarmed Kaioshin and other gods.

• Whis explained Ultra Instinct's state of mind to Gran and told him to meditate on Forget Self by the lake.
• Gran meditated continuously, and Whis observed his violent aura calm within two months as he reached the First Layer.
• Gran continued meditating without eating or drinking, then erupted with an ethereal aura and silver radiance after a year, reaching the Second Layer.
• Gran's aura spread to the God of Destruction Palace and Beerus's sleeping place, awakening Beerus and making Universe 7 tremble.
• On North Kai Planet, a short, squat figure worried that Beerus had awakened again, while a chicken-comb-haired man fled the Realm of the Gods with Kibito, fearing Majin Buu had awakened.

Beerus awoke after Gran’s Ultra Instinct aura disturbed the God of Destruction Realm and learned that the young Saiyan had reached King Kai’s Peak Dimension and a Semi-No Self State of Mind. Impressed by Gran’s talent, Beerus asked him to become Universe 7’s Candidate God of Destruction.

• Beerus blasted through the ceiling and attacked Gran, while Whis protected him and restored the shattered lake with Time Rewind.
• Whis told Beerus how Gran had developed his power and explained that the child had reached the Second Layer of the State of Mind.
• Gran entered the Semi-No Self State of Mind and instinctively dodged Beerus’s surprise attack.
• Beerus questioned Gran about surviving Frieza, and Gran said Frieza had spared him and Prince Vegeta.
• Gran offered to cook for Beerus to avoid being destroyed, but Beerus instead asked whether he wanted to become Universe 7’s Candidate God of Destruction.

Gran refused Beerus’s offer to become Universe 7’s Candidate God of Destruction, but Beerus’s killing intent forced him to accept. Whis dressed Gran in clothes matching Beerus’s, and the appointment sent a sacred melody across Universe 7, drawing reactions from the gods and Kai.

• Beerus offered Gran the position of Universe 7’s Candidate God of Destruction, and Whis supported the choice because of Gran’s exceptional talent.
• Gran refused, citing his weakness and his reluctance to take on the role, but Beerus threatened him with his killing intent.
• Gran agreed to become Beerus’s candidate, and Whis used his Staff to dress him in an outfit matching Beerus’s.
• A sacred melody spread throughout Universe 7 as Gran’s appointment was announced, and Old Kai, Shin the God of Destruction, and Kibito reacted in the Realm of the Gods.
• North Kai sensed the melody without understanding it, while King of All briefly looked toward Universe 7 and the Grand Minister watched in the same direction.

Gran became Beerus’s Candidate God of Destruction despite fearing the life-link between Gods of Destruction and Shin, and vowed to break the rule himself. After six months of training with Beerus and Whis, Gran mastered the Semi-No Self state of mind and grew close to Beerus.

• Beerus made Gran his Candidate God of Destruction, and Gran worried that his life would be tied to Shin’s.
• Beerus explained that a sealed Shin could keep Gods of Destruction alive, but admitted that their lives would be left to fate if the seal broke.
• Gran declared that he would become strong enough to break the rule and returned to training his No Self state of mind.
• Over the next six months, Beerus and Whis trained Gran until he could enter the Semi-No Self state of mind proficiently.
• Beerus grew close to Gran over their training and his delicious cooking, then teased him about standing on his head to relieve himself.

Gran fought Beerus and recognized that his combat technique, experience, stamina, and strength still needed improvement. Whis said Gran had reached a bottleneck in cultivating his state of mind and was ready to begin training his strength.

• Gran challenged Beerus, who fought at Gran’s power level and tested him with pure strength and combat experience.
• Gran entered the Ultra Instinct Prototype state and attacked Beerus for about twenty seconds before Beerus grabbed his fist and kicked him down by the lake.
• Gran admitted that he wasted stamina with unnecessary movements, lacked combat experience, and could not sustain a long fight because his strength was weak.
• Whis explained that Gran’s state of mind had reached a bottleneck and that it was time for him to train his strength.

Whis made Gran train in adaptive gravity clothing while Beerus and Whis left to destroy planets, assigning Gran future cleanup missions as Universe 7’s Candidate God of Destruction. After six months of training, Gran’s story left off with Beerus preparing to destroy his 27,634th planet.

• Whis put heavy gravity clothing on Gran, left him with a training plan, and said its gravity would rise as Gran grew stronger.
• Beerus explained his destruction duties, and Gran mocked him for neglecting past cleanup missions before Beerus revealed Gran would inherit future missions.
• Beerus and Whis departed, leaving Gran to train and learn the Destruction Rule.
• Gran adapted to the clothing’s gravity, completed his training regimen, and endured rising gravity from one hundred to four hundred times.
• Gran trained for half a year, while Beerus and Whis hovered beside a planet that Whis identified as the 27,634th planet Beerus would destroy.

Beerus finished destroying planets and went to Frieza Headquarters to confront Frieza for sparing Saiyans. He crushed Frieza underfoot for disobeying his order, while Shin the God of Destruction began recreating the planets Beerus had erased.

• Beerus destroyed the remaining planets on his list, and Whis teased him about his attachment to Gran.
• Shin the God of Destruction learned that more than twenty thousand planets had been destroyed and set off with Kibito to recreate them.

• Beerus demanded to know whether Frieza had destroyed every Saiyan, and Frieza admitted he had not.
• Beerus crushed Frieza to the ground and broke his bones, and Frieza begged him to spare his life.

Beerus spared Frieza and ordered him to leave the remaining Saiyans alone, then returned to the God of Destruction Realm with Whis. They discovered Gran had entered the dangerous Sumeru World again and hurried there to save him.

• Beerus spared Frieza, had Whis heal him, and warned him that harming the remaining Saiyans would mean death.
• After Beerus and Whis left, Frieza unleashed his Ultimate State, destroyed his palace, and ordered it rebuilt without investigating the Saiyans.
• Beerus and Whis returned to the God of Destruction Realm, where Beerus told Whis not to reveal that he had spared Frieza for Gran's sake.
• Beerus and Whis realized Gran was missing, and Whis used his Staff to find him fighting a giant Saber-toothed Beast in the Sumeru World.
• Beerus recognized the dangerous world and worried that Gran's Gravity Clothing would leave him too weak to escape, so Whis took Beerus there to rescue him.

Gran defeated a Saber-toothed Beast with one billion Battle Power in the Sumeru World, shocking Beerus and Whis with how much strength he had gained in half a year. As more giant beasts closed in, Whis pulled Gran out, and Gran realized Beerus had discovered his secret training.

• Gran fought a Saber-toothed Beast in the Sumeru World and provoked it into doubling its strength by attacking its backside.
• Beerus and Whis arrived, assessed the beast at one billion Battle Power, and realized Gran could match it.
• Gran removed his Gravity Clothing and defeated the beast, leaving Beerus and Whis astonished by his rapid progress.
• More giant beasts charged toward Gran, so Whis used his Staff to bring him back to the lakeside.
• Gran recognized that Beerus and Whis had returned, tried to run away, and was stopped by Beerus.

Gran tried to flee after Beerus caught him wearing Gravity Clothing in the Sumeru World, but Beerus pulled him back and challenged him to a fight. Gran showed off his immense power and newly developed First Stage Body Instinct before losing to Beerus and receiving a spanking.

• Gran attempted to escape Beerus by flying away, but Beerus pulled him back and confronted him about wearing Gravity Clothing into the Sumeru World.

• Gran used his Ultra Instinct Prototype state and Prince Tactics, but he ultimately lost to Beerus despite using nearly every technique he had learned.
• Beerus spanked Gran and made him admit that wearing the Gravity Clothing into the Sumeru World had been reckless.

After discovering Gran had survived five months of extreme gravity training and developed First Stage Body Instinct, Beerus and Whis questioned him and Whis healed his injuries. Whis ended by asking whether Gran had used his full strength against Beerus.

• Gran pleaded with Whis to heal him after Beerus had beaten him, and Beerus questioned why Gran had entered the Sumeru World.
• Beerus and Whis realized Gran had reached 1 billion Battle Power, killed a 1-billion-Battle-Power Saber-toothed Beast, and developed First Stage Body Instinct without instruction.
• Gran told Beerus he had worn the Gravity Clothing in the Sumeru World for five months, and Whis explained the nine stages of Body Instinct.
• Beerus said the other Gods of Destruction had only reached the Fourth Stage, then stopped Whis from revealing his own level.
• Whis healed Gran, and after Gran complained about both him and Beerus, Whis asked whether Gran had shown his full strength while fighting Beerus.

Gran learned that his Battle Power had reached one billion after six months of training, then asked Beerus how far he still had to go. Beerus concealed the truth about their strength gap, and Gran left believing he was still far weaker.

• Gran asked Beerus and Whis to assess his Battle Power, training progress, and strength compared with Beerus.
• Whis said Gran had reached one billion Battle Power, and Gran excitedly compared himself with Goku from his previous life.
• Beerus claimed Gran's progress was good but still nowhere near his own, then coughed to stop Whis from contradicting him.
• Whis gave Gran an ambiguous answer, and Gran accepted Beerus's claim and praised him as the strongest God of Destruction.
