Chapter Summaries

Tarble and Vegeta traveled with Paragus and Bayat toward Planet Sadala, where Tarble learned about the Sephiria Force’s vast power and territory. After waking, Vegeta struggled to accept how much stronger Planet Sadala’s warriors were and grew curious about Queen Sephi and Lord Roland.

• Paragus rested after defeating Vegeta, then went to train aboard the spaceship while the other Saiyans joked with him.

Vegeta brought Tarble to Planet Sadala, where Tarble registered and settled into a comfortable new home while Vegeta chose to return to the Frieza Legion. The chapter then shifted to the Devil's Den, where Roland confronted Lulu and Turles about their comfortable life after conquering Slug's territory.

• Vegeta realized Planet Sadala far surpassed Planet Vegeta and agreed that Tarble should stay there, though he refused to live under someone else's roof.
• After seven days of travel, Bayat and the others brought Vegeta and Tarble to Planet Sadala, where Tarble struggled with its gravity and Vegeta's detector burned out from the planet's immense power.

• Vegeta left Planet Sadala after one day, promising himself he would surpass its Saiyans, while Tarble stayed behind and gave him a communicator.
• In the Devil's Den, Roland questioned Lulu about why she and Turles had not returned after conquering Slug's territory, and Lulu turned to Turles for support.

Roland ordered Lulu and Turles to return to Planet Sadala and investigate attacks on the Sephiria Force’s territory, then visited Galactic Patrol headquarters with Jaco. There, the Galactic King discussed cooperation with Roland while Patrolman Merus departed to investigate Planet Zien’s leaked treasure, leaving Roland suspicious of Merus.

• Roland exposed Lulu’s lie, warned her and Turles not to neglect their duties, and told them to investigate attacks on the Sephiria Force’s planets with the Special Combat Force.

• The Galactic King assigned Patrolman Merus to investigate the leaked treasure on Planet Zien and discussed possible cooperation with the Saiyans on Planet Sadala.
• Roland met the Galactic King and watched Merus leave with Jaco, finding Merus difficult to understand.

The Galactic King sought an agreement with Roland to preserve galactic stability, offering intelligence in exchange for the Sephiria Force remaining neutral. He revealed that modified Saiyans were attacking the Force’s planets and identified Podo Race scientist Dr. Ruka as the likely culprit, leaving Roland intent on finding him.

• The Galactic King explained that the Galactic Patrol could no longer control powerful threats and asked Roland to keep the Sephiria Force from becoming like the Frieza Legion.

• The Galactic King identified Dr. Ruka, a Podo Race scientist linked to Garlic Jr.'s Planet Makyo forces and Slug, as the suspected mastermind.
• Roland accepted the intelligence, added Dr. Ruka to his must-kill list, and left the Galactic King’s headquarters.

Roland told Tights about Dr. Ruka and the Saiyan clones, then returned to Planet Sadala and organized a response with the Sephiria Force and its scientists. They prepared to investigate the clones and improve their defenses, while Roland dismissed his suspicion that Merus was unusually powerful.

• Roland told Tights that Dr. Ruka was not a major threat but that the Saiyan clones could be troublesome, and he left the search to the Sephiria Force.
• Roland toured the Galactic Patrol headquarters with Tights and asked about Merus, whose strength had impressed him, but he decided he had been overthinking it.
• Roland returned to Planet Sadala without Tights and summoned Hertz, Umu, Dr. Brief, Bulma, and members of the Defense Force and Special Combat Force.
• Roland briefed the group on Dr. Ruka and the Saiyan clones, prompting Umu to apologize and the others to condemn the use of Saiyan genes.
• Roland ordered intelligence personnel to investigate the clones, while Umu promised to develop better reconnaissance equipment and Dr. Brief and Bulma agreed to assist.

Dr. Ruka began training Askari, his powerful Saiyan creation intended to take revenge on the Saiyans. On Earth, Kami sent Goku, Chi-Chi, and Suno to train at Five Elements Mountain, then noticed Roland had appeared after someone gathered the Dragon Balls.

• Dr. Ruka and his copies released Askari from her cultivation pod and prepared to train her as their weapon against the Saiyans.
• Askari ate voraciously, then killed a monster with 3,000 battle power in exchange for food, impressing Dr. Ruka.
• Kami sent Goku, Chi-Chi, and Suno to Five Elements Mountain to train with Taishang Laojun and Lady Anning.
• Kami sealed Goku's tail and watched the three leave, hoping Chi-Chi and Suno could eventually succeed him as Kami.
• The sky darkened as the Dragon Balls were gathered, and Kami recognized Roland below.

Roland used Red Shenron to prevent all Saiyan-cell research and kill Dr. Ruka, ending the threat of new Saiyan copies. Planet Sadala then began purging the existing irrational copies while the Sephiria Force kept the operation's purpose secret.

• Roland ordered Shenron to make all research and manufacturing involving Saiyan cells fail, then approved the wish.
• Roland asked Shenron to kill Dr. Ruka, and Dr. Ruka died in his laboratory while Askari waited for food.
• Askari found the laboratory staff dead, went to the dining hall, and cried when no one was there to feed her.
• After Shenron confirmed Dr. Ruka's death, Roland left Earth, and Old Kami wondered what had changed in the universe.
• Planet Sadala launched an operation to exterminate the Saiyan copies after discovering they could not be recruited.
• The Sephiria Force rejected offers of assistance and kept the Saiyan-copy operation secret.

After a year of training, Roland returned to Planet Sadala and brought Luo Fei out of the Incubation Pod, where the three-year-old Saiyan had reached a battle power of about 800. The chapter left Luo Fei with his parents as Roland thanked Arlis and arranged for her group to return to Planet Vine to rest.

• Sephiria dismissed the news about Dr. Ruka's death and continued training on Planet Yardrat as she neared Super Saiyan.
• On Planet Doro, Kagis, Nappa, and Raditz attacked the natives while Vegeta trained obsessively to overcome the powerful Saiyans he had encountered on Planet Sadala.
• After a year of training on the Metal Planet, Roland judged that his Golden Eyes state could match Frieza's power and returned to Planet Sadala.

• Arlis removed Luo Fei from the pod, and the child called Roland and Tights his parents as Tights held him.
• Roland praised Arlis and the Vine Race Maidens for their work and arranged for them to return to Planet Vine to rest.

Jaco came to Planet Sadala after Planet Zien’s treasure was stolen from him while he was returning it. He asked Roland and Tights for help, but Roland first demanded to know what the treasure was.

• Luo Fei asked Launch to teach him martial arts, and she took him home for breakfast.
• Roland arranged for Ifrivi to train Luo Fei while he went to meet Jaco with Tights.
• Jaco explained that he and Merus had recovered Planet Zien’s stolen treasure, but thieves stole it again from his spaceship during a meal stop.
• Jaco begged Roland and Tights to help him avoid being fired by the Galactic King.
• Roland asked Jaco what Planet Zien’s treasure was.

Roland learned that Planet Zien’s treasure might be connected to the ancient Alta and agreed to help Jaco retrieve it in exchange for a look inside. He used Instant Transmission to take Jaco to the treasure’s location, where they found the space pirates who had stolen it.

• Jaco revealed that he had secretly put a tracking device on Planet Zien’s treasure box, and Tights identified Planet Zien as the home of the Pui Clan.
• Jaco explained that a powerful Pui had defected to the Demon Clan, leaving Planet Zien vulnerable while it faced attacks.
• Roland recalled the Pui Clan’s connection to the ancient Alta and agreed to help recover the treasure if he could inspect it first.
• Jaco showed Roland the treasure’s tracked location on a star map, and Roland asked whether Jaco could survive in a vacuum.
• Roland grabbed Jaco and used Instant Transmission to reach the airless planet, where Jaco recognized the triangular spaceships belonging to the thieves.

Roland and Jaco found the Roland Space Pirate Group dividing the treasure they had stolen from Planet Zien. Roland overwhelmed the pirates, leaving the treasure ready to be reclaimed and reminding himself that stronger opponents still awaited him.

• Jaco explained that the Roland Space Pirate Group were powerful hedgehog-like space pirates who had repeatedly evaded the Galactic Patrol.
• Roland teased Jaco about his combat ability, and Jaco urged him to help recover Planet Zien's treasure and defeat the pirates.
• Roland appeared before the pirates, who recognized Jaco as a Galactic Patrolman and attacked them both.
• Roland dodged the pirates' attacks and struck one with a finger, then used energy rays to kill many of the charging pirates.
• Roland reflected on how easily he had defeated the pirates and resolved not to become complacent because stronger fighters such as Frieza, Beerus, and Whis existed.

Roland destroyed the Roland Space Pirate Group and helped Jaco recover Planet Zien’s treasure. After finding mysterious writing connected to the God of Abundance, Roland decided to visit Planet Zien and ask the Pui Clan about it, and he and Jaco departed using Instant Transmission.

• Jaco struggled against several Hedgehog-men until Roland arrived and defeated them, destroying the Roland Space Pirate Group and their spaceship.
• Jaco found the iron box containing Planet Zien’s treasure among the wreckage and let Roland open it.

• Roland recorded the writing and asked Jaco to take him to Planet Zien so he could question the Pui Clan about it.
• After Jaco collected scattered Xijin, Roland memorized Planet Zien’s location from Jaco’s star map and used Instant Transmission to take them there.

Roland and Jaco arrived on Planet Zien and returned the Pui Clan’s royal treasure after the guardians prepared to attack them. Roland then asked Mos Pui to decipher the ancient writing he had recorded, leaving the Pui guardian to consider his request.

• Dier Pui and the other guardians discussed the clan’s recent betrayal and stayed alert while guarding the royal treasures.
• Roland and Jaco appeared near the guardians, who aimed their Ki at the newcomers.

• Roland showed Mos Pui the recorded writing and asked him to explain its meaning.

Roland learned from the Pui royal family that the ancient script marked the location of the Alta battle planet, Planet Mesanda, and then left Planet Zien disappointed. Meanwhile, Askari struggled to cook for herself in Dr. Ruka’s empty laboratory and ended the chapter by setting the forest ablaze to roast animals for food.

• Dier Pui told Roland that the Pui Clan could not readily decipher the ancient script, but agreed to take him to the royal family.
• Queen Pui translated the script as the coordinates of Planet Mesanda, the Alta battle planet, and explained that it had little value now.
• Roland left Planet Zien with Jaco after the translation failed to reveal information useful to his training.
• Askari tried to cook by following an electronic book, but burned the food and forced herself to eat it.
• Askari flew into the forest and fired Ki Blasts until animals were roasted, then decided to burn the whole planet for more food.

Askari's reckless fighting and fires devastated her planet, forcing her to flee aboard a spaceship with the last Saiyan Clones. As she headed for East Galaxy to avoid the Sephiria Force, she discovered a photograph of its queen, Sephiria, who looked remarkably like her.

• After eating her fill, Askari fought and killed groups of low-level combat life-forms in the laboratory.
• Askari repeatedly set fires across the planet, eventually covering it in smoke and making it unsuitable for life.
• Askari found a spaceship and packed it with food and about a hundred Saiyan Clones, who recognized her as their highest authority.
• Askari learned that Dr. Ruka had created them to take revenge on the Sephiria Force, then ordered the spaceship toward East Galaxy to avoid it.
• While traveling, Askari found a photograph of Sephiria and asked who the woman who resembled her was.
• The system identified Sephiria as the queen of the Sephiria Force and warned Askari to keep her distance.

Askari learned that Queen Sephi and Queen Sephi’s younger brother were her genetic donors, and she resolved to avoid the Sephiria Force until she was strong enough. Meanwhile, Roland led scientists to investigate Planet Mesanda and began cultivating there.

• Askari learned that she was the only successful product of the Askari Project and that her genes came from Queen Sephi and her younger brother.
• Askari decided not to reveal herself to the Sephiria Force, then vented her anger by sparring with a level-three Saiyan Clone as the spaceship headed toward the East Galaxy.

• Roland left the scientists to investigate Planet Mesanda and began cultivating on a metal mountain.

The 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament took place on Papaya Island, where Goku defeated Tien Shinhan to claim the championship and Master Roshi helped Tien turn away from Master Shen.

• Capsule Corporation and the tournament organizers agreed to promote the recorded matches, and the Blonde Announcer discovered a dead guard, a missing contestant list, and a paper marked with the character "Demon."

King Piccolo gathered all seven Dragon Balls and summoned Shenron, hoping to regain his youth, while the Blonde Announcer and Master Roshi feared his return. Shenron refused the wish because his supervisor, Roland, forbade it, leaving King Piccolo enraged and without his desired restoration.

• The Blonde Announcer learned from Master Roshi that the demon mark belonged to King Piccolo, and soon the first tournament contestants became victims.
• King Piccolo ordered Tambourine to find the final Dragon Ball and warned him not to underestimate Goku, while Pilaf explained Goku’s strength and his connection to Master Roshi.

• Tambourine returned with the seventh Dragon Ball, and King Piccolo summoned Shenron as Goku and Bulma noticed the sky darken from a restaurant.
• King Piccolo asked Shenron to restore his youth, but Shenron refused, explaining that his supervisor, Roland, would not allow it.

King Piccolo's wish to regain his youth was refused, and Shenron warned him after he attacked. Shaken by the Dragon Clan's power, King Piccolo continued his plan to terrorize Earth and arranged to preserve his offspring as a contingency.

• King Piccolo's wish to become young again was refused, while Pilaf received one hundred million in cash for his wish.
• Pilaf tried to use his next wish to escape with Mai and the others, but King Piccolo blasted them before Shenron confirmed the wish had been granted.

• King Piccolo ordered Tambourine and Cymbal to keep hunting martial artists and instructed his subordinate to find a safe place for his true offspring.
