Chapter Summaries

Rhode asked Whis about God of Destruction Candidates and how Divine Power shaped the strength of gods. He learned that all Gods of Destruction were Tier Ten, that mastery of Divine Power could raise their strength, and that even the highest-known beings had not reached its ultimate rank; he then asked Whis about his own mastery of Angel Power.

• Rhode recommended Aila and several students from his Martial Arts Hall as potential God of Destruction Candidates, and Whis said Beerus would need to approve them.
• Rhode and Whis discussed the strength of Gods of Destruction, and Whis confirmed that they all had Tier Ten normal-state Power Tiers but differed in their stages and mastery of Divine Power.
• Whis explained that Divine Power came in different forms, that combat strength depended on its suitability and rank, and that the Supreme Kais had only reached its initial stage of Creation Power.
• Whis said that no one, not even the Grand Minister or Zeno, had mastered Divine Power to its highest rank, leaving Rhode intrigued by the endless path of advancement.
• Rhode asked Whis how far he had mastered Angel Power.

Rhode learned how Divine Power stages corresponded to power tiers and began planning to cultivate every Divine Power he had encountered. He left the conversation motivated by the prospect of eventually reaching the pinnacle of power.

• Whis told Rhode that official angels had mastered Second-Stage Angel Power and that Ultra Instinct became their normal state at that stage.
• Rhode considered his five Divine Powers and decided his clones and Dragon God Power could help him cultivate them all.
• Whis explained that First-Stage Divine Power corresponded to tiers below Tier Fifteen, with later stages spanning higher tiers up to Tier Forty-Nine.
• Rhode wondered whether the Grand Minister and Zeno were within Whis's known range, then concluded that the gaps between tiers were immense.
• Whis asked whether the gulf between Rhode and the strongest frightened him, and Rhode said it motivated him to pursue the pinnacle.

Rhode spoke with Whis about Divine Power and the possibility of becoming a God of Destruction Candidate, then returned to the Martial Arts Hall and saw Broly and Vegeta badly injured after challenging the Combat Training Grounds’ bosses. The chapter left Rhode entering the Time Chamber to organize his Divine Powers and check on his clones.

• Whis told Rhode that he valued him and believed he could change the state of the gods if he became a God of Destruction Candidate, then offered to help with his training.
• After Whis left, Rhode returned to the Martial Arts Hall with Aila and reflected on whether Divine Power could speed up his progress toward Tier Ten.
• Rhode found Broly and Vegeta injured after Broly challenged Golden Cell and Vegeta challenged Super One-Star Dragon in the Combat Training Grounds.
• Raditz explained that both challengers had been overwhelmed, and Rhode scolded Raditz for neglecting his training before Raditz hurried into an Extra-dimensional Space.
• Rhode discussed Vegeta’s pride with Aila, then opened a Space Gate and entered the Time Chamber to arrange his Divine Powers and inspect his clones.

Rhode absorbed his clones’ research and learned that Saiyans carried bloodline fragments linked to Battle Power and Emotion Power, which together formed their Origin Power. He recognized these as additional Divine Powers he could develop, though Angel Power remained the path best suited to him.

• Rhode recalled the clones researching Dark Power and absorbed their findings, gaining only a limited ability to use it.
• Rhode recalled the clones studying fragments hidden in Saiyan bloodlines and learned that they described powers related to Divine Power and the awakening of strength.
• Rhode discovered that Battle Power and Emotion Power were fused forces that let Saiyans grow stronger through combat and emotional upheaval.
• Rhode concluded that Saiyan Origin Power helped explain transformations such as Beast Form and could contend with forms involving Divine Power.
• Rhode considered how Origin Power applied to other races and decided that different individuals could follow different paths, while Angel Power suited him best.
• Rhode acknowledged that he wanted to master every power, despite his rapid progress with Angel Power.

Rhode recalled his clones and absorbed their research, making plans to advance his Divine Power, techniques, and Space-Time Power. After returning to Earth, he discussed with Aila how to focus their training and agreed they should first find the methods that suited them best.

• Rhode reviewed his clones’ progress on the Modification Technique and Forced Fusion Technique and considered using them to absorb different types of Divine Power.
• Rhode absorbed advances in Space-Time Power, including longer Time Stop and Time Reversal durations, and assigned his clones to research Divine Power, his techniques, and Divine Power fusion.
• Rhode returned to Earth, where Aila asked why he had spent so long in the Time Chamber, and he explained that he had been digesting his clones’ information.
• Aila proposed focusing on the Self-Perfected Ultra Instinct Technique and Destruction Power, and Rhode agreed they should first explore which training methods suited them best.

Rhode discovered that his clones made vastly different progress comprehending divine powers, with Dragon God Power advancing far fastest because of his prior study of Shenrons and Dragon Balls. Comparing genuine and simulated Dragon God Power led him to recognize the limits of his simulations and realize he may have found a shortcut to comprehending multiple divine powers.

• Aila considered combining battle power with destruction power, and she and Rhode discussed ways to master divine powers faster.
• After half a year on Earth, Rhode reabsorbed his clones and found little progress with dark, creation, space-time, and destruction power, but much greater progress with angel power.
• Rhode discovered that his Dragon God Power clone had made extraordinary progress because his earlier study of Shenrons and Dragon Balls had given him a strong foundation.
• Rhode found that genuine Dragon God Power could transform into real angel power, while simulated Dragon God Power produced only a false version at the divine level.
• Rhode concluded that simulated Dragon God Power could grant mortal-level wishes but could not truly affect gods, then realized he might have found a shortcut to comprehending multiple divine powers.

Rhode used his mastery of Simulated Dragon God Power to accelerate his understanding of other forms of Divine Power, then began a long training regimen in the Time Chamber. Years passed peacefully on Earth until Kaioshin Shin arrived and stirred up trouble again.

• Rhode realized that transformed Dragon God Power could guide his study of other Divine Powers, though it did not let him use them directly.
• Rhode created clones to study several Divine Powers and absorbed their insights, substantially increasing his strength without reaching a new minor stage.
• Rhode calculated that mastering Dragon God Power and using it to study other powers would take decades or longer outside the Time Chamber.
• Rhode set the Time Chamber to its maximum time difference and began comprehending Dragon God Power, while Aila entered her own Time Chamber to train.
• Several years passed as people on Earth trained, until Kaioshin Shin arrived and stirred up trouble again.

Kaioshin Shin warned Bulma that Babidi had come to Earth and was trying to gather energy to unseal Majin Buu. Bulma agreed to lure Babidi out by using the upcoming Martial Arts Tournament, leaving the Victory Team ready to investigate suspicious entrants.

• Bulma dismissed the danger of Majin Buu, but Kaioshin Shin explained that he had come to warn her about Babidi.
• Bulma learned that Earth's Defense System had failed to detect Babidi and sent an intruder alert to the Victory Team.
• Kaioshin Shin admitted he could not locate Babidi but explained that Babidi needed a large amount of energy to unseal Majin Buu.
• Bulma agreed that they should find Babidi and eliminate the threat before Majin Buu was unsealed.
• Kaioshin Shin proposed using the Martial Arts Tournament to attract Babidi and trace the energy he gathered, and Bulma agreed.

Bulma gathered the Victory Team with an alert, though no one knew what had happened or sensed Evil Energy on Earth. Goku stopped Vegeta and Old Broly from fighting so Bulma and Kaioshin Shin could address the matter, leaving the gathered warriors waiting for an explanation.

• Bulma's alert brought the Victory Team members from across Earth to the grass outside the headquarters.
• Raditz asked Vegeta what had happened, but Vegeta said he had been training in the Extra-dimensional Space and knew nothing.
• Goku praised Vegeta's increased strength and asked when they could spar, while Vegeta insisted he was now Goku's equal.

• Goku blocked Vegeta and Old Broly's attacks and told them to wait until Bulma finished dealing with the matter.
• Bulma and Kaioshin Shin appeared before the gathered warriors.

Bulma and Supreme Kai Lord organized the World Martial Arts Tournament to draw out Babidi and locate Majin Buu. As the tournament began, Goku, Vegeta, and the others anticipated competing, while the Victory Team prepared to protect spectators if trouble arose.

• The tournament began on a crowded island, and Bulma's plan assigned the Victory Team to identify suspicious participants and protect the audience.
• Vegeta threatened Raditz before his match with Goku, and Raditz challenged Vegeta's confidence in winning.

Raditz fought Yamu in the tournament and discovered that the strange, M-marked fighter was connected to Babidi. Yamu and Spopovich drained Raditz’s energy and fled, and Raditz joined Goku, Vegeta, and the others in pursuit.

• Vegeta threatened Raditz and considered how difficult it would be to surpass Rhode.
• Raditz entered the arena to fight Yamu and noticed the bald fighter’s strange mark and unusual resilience.
• Raditz secretly alerted Bulma to his suspicions, then followed her instructions and unleashed his power against Yamu.
• Yamu grabbed Raditz while Spopovich used an energy-absorption device to drain his power.
• Yamu and Spopovich flew away with the collected energy, and Raditz got up and followed Goku, Vegeta, and the others.

Goku, Vegeta, and the others followed Yamu and Spopovich to Babidi’s hiding place, where they witnessed Babidi dispose of the two men after taking their energy. As Babidi entered his buried spaceship, Dabura charged at the group.

• Vegeta said he hoped Majin Buu could become stronger, and Goku agreed, despite Shin warning them not to underestimate Buu.
• Raditz caught up with the group after revealing that he had faked his weakness in the tournament and lost only a negligible amount of energy.
• The group followed Yamu and Spopovich to Babidi’s buried spaceship and spotted Babidi, Dabura, and Pui Pui.
• After Yamu and Spopovich handed over their energy, Babidi caused their bodies to swell and explode.
• Shin explained that Babidi controlled and killed people, then Babidi entered the spaceship while Dabura rushed toward the group.

Vegeta and Raditz easily overpowered Dabura, while the group learned Babidi's spaceship was protected by spatial magic and could gather energy to revive Majin Buu. After Kaioshin Shin confirmed that their attacks could fuel the revival, Vegeta began bombarding the ship.

• Kaioshin Shin warned the others that Dabura was the king of the Demon Realm and that his spit could turn people to stone.
• Vegeta and Raditz kicked Dabura back and forth until Vegeta pinned him down and demanded to know where Majin Buu was.
• Old Broly blasted Babidi's partially buried spaceship, but it remained unharmed because Babidi had protected it with spatial magic.
• Goku asked Kaioshin Shin if Majin Buu was inside the spaceship, and Shin said Babidi was likely gathering energy there to revive him.
• Vegeta asked whether their blasts could provide enough energy to revive Majin Buu, and Kaioshin Shin said they should.
• Vegeta summoned countless small energy blasts and sent them raining down on the spaceship.

Goku, Vegeta, and the others bombarded Babidi's spaceship to provide the energy needed to release Majin Buu, while Dabura doubted that Buu could match their strength. Majin Buu emerged from the destroyed ship, and Vegeta killed Babidi before turning to face him.

• Vegeta and the others repeatedly fired Ki Blasts at Babidi's spaceship, filling the energy gauge and feeding power to the sealed Majin Buu.
• Babidi decided he would use Majin Buu to kill the attackers and Dabura once the seal was broken.
• Kaioshin Shin reassured the group that Babidi was about to release Majin Buu, while Vegeta threatened to destroy the ship himself if Buu did not appear soon.

• Vegeta shot Babidi through the head, blasted him to pieces, and then turned toward Majin Buu.

Raditz, Goku, and Vegeta argued over who would fight Majin Buu, but Old Broly attacked first and repeatedly blasted Buu apart. Buu regenerated each time, and after realizing he could not beat Broly, he looked over the group for a way out.

• Raditz and Goku stopped Vegeta from claiming the first fight, and Goku suggested settling who would go first with rock-paper-scissors.
• Old Broly fired a Ki Blast at Majin Buu, scattering his body into pieces.
• Kaioshin Shin warned the others that Majin Buu was still alive, and the pieces reformed into one unharmed Buu.
• Majin Buu attacked Old Broly, who caught his fist, sent him flying, and blasted him apart again.
• Majin Buu regenerated once more and searched the group for a way to escape after recognizing Broly was stronger.

Majin Buu healed Dabura, absorbed him, and grew stronger before awakening the Third Demon Eye. The eye transformed Buu into a giant and raised his power to Tier Five, leaving Goku and the others stunned while Vegeta welcomed the challenge.

• Goku and the others waited to see whom Majin Buu would attack, but Buu went to the wounded Dabura instead.
• Buu healed Dabura, then absorbed him and gained a significant increase in strength.
• Buu attacked Old Broly, who blocked him and punched him away again.
• Buu's forehead developed a Third Demon Eye, transforming him into a giant and raising his strength to Tier Five.
• Kaioshin Shin explained that the Third Demon Eye consumed its bearer's potential and life force, while Vegeta looked forward to fighting Buu.

Dabura’s absorbed Demon Eye transformed Majin Buu into a powerful fighter who matched Old Broly and then began to surpass him. As Goku and the others watched, Kaioshin Shin worried that Old Broly’s reckless approach would lead to trouble.

• Majin Buu shrank back to human size after absorbing Dabura and took control of the Demon Eye’s power.
• Demon Eye Majin Buu attacked Old Broly, who initially knocked him down with a single punch.

• Old Broly kept fighting without restraint as Majin Buu began to overpower him, worrying Kaioshin Shin.

Old Broly escalated through his transformations while fighting Demon Eye Majin Buu, who repeatedly grew stronger and overpowered him. Broly finally transformed into Super Saiyan 4, but Majin Buu responded with enhanced magic and tried to turn him into chocolate.

• Kaioshin Shin urged Goku to defeat Majin Buu, but Goku, Vegeta, and Raditz trusted Broly to handle the fight.
• Old Broly transformed into Super Saiyan, but Majin Buu quickly overpowered him, so Broly changed into his Legendary Super Saiyan form and gained the advantage.
• Broly attacked Majin Buu with energy blasts, but Majin Buu's power continued to rise until he surpassed Broly and began beating him.
• Goku and Vegeta reassured Kaioshin Shin that Broly had not used all his power, and Broly then transformed into Super Saiyan 4.
• Majin Buu used his enhanced magic on Super Saiyan 4 Broly and commanded him to turn into chocolate.

Demon Eye Majin Buu absorbed Old Broly, becoming Demon-Eyed Roli Buu and surging to late magnitude eight. Vegeta fought him in Super Saiyan Blue, but Buu grew stronger and eventually overwhelmed him, leaving Kaioshin Shin and Raditz fearing they had no way to win.

• Old Broly transformed into Super Saiyan 4 and attacked, but Demon Eye Majin Buu used magic and a close-range assault to open his Defense Cover and engulf him.
• Demon Eye Majin Buu absorbed Old Broly, reaching magnitude eight before the combined effects of Broly's power and the Demon Eye raised him to late magnitude eight as Demon-Eyed Roli Buu.
