After losing to a powerful Alta, Sephiria sought out Roland on Planet Mesanda to train and spar so she could reach Super Saiyan. After days of training together, Roland broke through and became a Super Saiyan.

• After Sephiria finished Consciousness Cultivation, Roland's aura turned golden and he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Roland helped Dr. Brief and the other scientists reach the regular dodecahedron at Planet Mesanda’s core and discovered that its Pui incubation chambers concealed a smaller, hidden area. He blasted open a passage into it, leaving the group poised to investigate what the Alta had hidden there.

• Dr. Brief showed Roland the enormous dodecahedron at the planet’s center and explained that the research robots could not get past its defenses.
• Roland led Umu and the scientists toward the core, breaking through obstacles and disabling waves of powerful Mechanical Warriors.
• The group entered the dodecahedron and found rows of hibernation chambers containing undeveloped Pui.
• Umu calculated that an undiscovered area lay at the dodecahedron’s center, and Roland blasted through a five-meter-thick wall to reveal a hidden passage.

Roland discovered a hidden hibernation chamber beneath Planet Mesanda containing dead Alta and six empty pods, then left Dr. Brief and Umu to investigate it. He told Sephiria about the discovery, while Goku and Bulma arrived on Planet Sadala and Goku struggled against its gravity.

• Roland found thousands of dead Alta in a hidden hibernation chamber and six open, empty pods.
• Roland contacted Dr. Brief and Umu, who began studying the chamber and its Alta corpses.
• Roland returned to Sephiria and told her that one of the six Alta who left the pods might be the one she had encountered.
• Sephiria insisted she would defeat the Alta and went outside to train.
• Goku and Bulma arrived on Planet Sadala, where Goku struggled to stand under its fifteen-times-Earth gravity.

Goku traveled with Bulma to Planet Sadala to continue his training, where he encountered the powerful Saiyan Broly. Broly mistook Goku for an Earthling and treated him with respect, leaving the two newly introduced to each other.

• Earth’s martial arts grew popular after the King Piccolo incident, and Bulma helped publicize the World Martial Arts Tournament footage and Tights’s old novel.
• Bulma brought Goku to Planet Sadala because Earth’s training could no longer increase his strength much.
• Goku struggled with Planet Sadala’s fifteen-times-Earth gravity but gradually adapted and toured the planet with Bulma.
• Goku accidentally collided with Broly, who introduced himself and concluded that Goku was an Earthling because he had no tail.
• Broly recalled Roland’s advice to respect serious practitioners and smiled sincerely at Goku.

Broly accompanied Goku and Bulma to Sonoli’s Training Class so Goku could pursue stronger training. There, Goku met Paragus and a mischievous little girl named Cheelai, who clung to Broly’s leg after trying to attack him.

• Broly, Goku, and Bulma walked to the Training Class, where Paragus was drilling Saiyan children.
• Paragus recognized Bulma and noticed Goku resembled Bardock, but did not investigate further.
• Cheelai darted out of the grass, tried to punch Goku, then clung to Broly’s leg; Paragus warned her not to be naughty.

Broly brought Goku and Bulma to Sonoli’s Training Class, where Goku began training and Broly was left to look after the mischievous Cheelai. On Planet Mesanda, Sephiria tested her new Yardrat training against Roland before they discussed Dr. Brief and Umu’s discovery that the Alta hibernation pods were being used as backup batteries.

• Broly met Sonoli’s daughter Cheelai and warned her not to attack people, but she kept misbehaving and Sonoli insisted that Broly play with her.

• On Planet Mesanda, Sephiria demonstrated her Yardrat training against Roland, but he defeated her after accidentally using Super Saiyan power.
• Sephiria asked about Dr. Brief’s research, and Roland explained that the Alta hibernation pods were connected to an energy core that absorbed energy from them.

Roland discovered that an energy-storing Icosahedron in the hibernation space had drained power from the Alta, and he suspected the six who awakened early had exploited their sleeping clansmen. After Roland and the others left Planet Mesanda, Buli sensed the disturbance, while Big Gete Star set off toward the ancient ruin.

• Dr. Brief explained that the Icosahedron had absorbed energy from the Alta in the hibernation chambers, and Roland pried it from the metal structure.
• Roland and Sephiria concluded that the energy had likely been taken before and that five other Alta like the one Sephiria met might still be alive; Roland gave Sephiria the Icosahedron to study.
• Roland ordered Dr. Brief, Umu, and the scientists to pack their equipment and the Alta corpses, and they left Planet Mesanda.
• Buli sensed that Planet Mesanda's core had been moved and someone had entered it, but she dismissed the possibility that Zangya and the others were involved and went back to sleep.
• Big Gete Star received a signal about an ancient ruin, recognized its direction, and departed for deep space to absorb its resources.
