• Mers explains away their voyage as “luck” and a specially modified ship, clearly hiding the full truth.

• Cocotte is amazed by the basin’s apparent ability to create food from nothing and realizes that Broly likely avoided ordering most of the costly hotel dishes.
• Broly offers to give Cocotte the Treasure Basin if she accompanies him to Earth, meets his grandfather, and lives with him. His motivation is comically practical: he hopes she might become a suitable partner for his grandfather and perhaps give him younger relatives.
• Cocotte postpones her decision until she tastes the food. After trying mapo tofu, she is overwhelmed by its flavor and considers Earth cuisine vastly superior to the hotel’s delicacies.
• Broly attempts to explain tofu using a Senzu Bean as an example of a soybean, accidentally revealing another name for the bean in Cocotte’s universe: the “Seed of Life” or “Yellow Shiny.”

Character Developments

• Broly: Demonstrates remarkable self-awareness about his current limitations, especially regarding Jiren. At the same time, he remains socially oblivious, literal-minded, and unfiltered.

Her admiration for Earth food transforms into genuine excitement and competitive enthusiasm about learning to cook, though her pride makes her highly sensitive to Broly’s criticism.
