Chapter Summaries

Son Gohan adapted to sensing Eliza’s energy pathways during their sparring and used that perception to overcome her overwhelming attacks. He defeated her by disrupting her energy flow, then checked that her ki had stabilized and meditated beside her.

Son Gohan defeated the sniper while Eliza charged Naru’s squad through their weapons and defenses. Naru ordered a retreat and then prepared for a final fight as Eliza reached him.

Eliza fought Innis, a candidate for Cooler's Armored Squadron, but her Quadruple Kaioken drained her stamina and left her defeated. Son Gohan intervened and learned that Salza led the squadron on Cooler No. 98, then prepared to fight Innis as he realized the empire had been taken over and the city sealed off.

• Innis introduced himself as a candidate for Cooler's Armored Squadron and declared that he had come to eliminate Eliza and Son Gohan.
• Eliza attacked Innis with Triple Kaioken, but he dodged her blows until her power surged and she forced him to fight seriously.
• Innis and Eliza clashed with energy blades, but her Quadruple Kaioken rapidly exhausted her, and he broke her blade and kicked her into a building.
• Innis fired an energy cannon at the hole where Eliza had fallen, but Son Gohan appeared and deflected it.
• Son Gohan questioned Innis about Salza and learned that Salza was the strongest member of the squadron on Cooler No. 98.
• Son Gohan realized the empire's leaders had been controlled, his Smart Brain permissions frozen, and the area sealed off, then challenged Innis to fight.

Son Gohan fought Innis, using Kaioken and a series of surprise attacks to overwhelm him before Innis escaped and countered. The two then clashed head-on and powered up for another exchange.

• Innis insulted Son Gohan and began powering up, but Son Gohan struck first with four-times Kaioken and battered him with a rapid series of blows.

• Son Gohan raised Kaioken to seven times and collided fists with Innis, creating a shockwave that shattered the ground and damaged nearby buildings.
• Son Gohan and Innis roared as their auras surged, then launched attacks at each other again.

• Son Gohan caught Innis's attack with a punch, then chased him down and blasted him into a crater with a Kamehameha.
• Son Gohan sensed that Innis had survived with an almost extinguished aura and prepared to finish him off.
• Eliza stopped Son Gohan and asked to deal with Innis herself, so Son Gohan gave her half a Senzu Bean to heal her wounds.
• Eliza recovered and headed for the crater, while Son Gohan warned her to hurry because he sensed danger approaching.
• Eliza fired a red energy beam into the crater, and Son Gohan added an energy blast; red light then shot up from within.

Son Gohan and Eliza faced Salza after he arrived to avenge Innis, and their attacks failed to injure him. Son Gohan removed his weighted metal rings and raised his power level to 300,000, while Salza's scouter tracked the increase.

• Son Gohan sensed a powerful ki approaching and tried to leave with Eliza, but Salza arrived and confronted them over Innis's death.
• Son Gohan admitted killing Innis and challenged Salza, who threatened to kill both him and Eliza.
• Son Gohan fired an energy blast at Salza while Eliza attacked from behind, but Salza blocked the blast and emerged unharmed from Eliza's attack.
• Salza revealed that his power level was 1.88 million and mocked Son Gohan and Eliza for being below 200,000.
• Son Gohan removed his weighted metal rings, causing Salza's scouter to register his power rising to 300,000.

Son Gohan fought Salza with the Kaioken and, under the threat of death, awakened an eightfold level of power. He matched Salza and charged to defeat him before the strain exhausted him.

• Son Gohan surprised Salza by raising his power and traded a powerful punch with him.
• Salza transformed and attacked with a purple energy blade, forcing Son Gohan into a dangerous exchange of blows.

• Son Gohan's aura changed, and he unleashed the eightfold Kaioken, bringing his power up to Salza's level.
• Salza tried to evade Son Gohan's attacks until the Kaioken drained his stamina, and Son Gohan declared he would defeat him before then.

Son Gohan fought Salza until Salza swallowed a pill and emerged from Son Gohan’s Kamehameha far stronger than before. Son Gohan sent Eliza away and faced Salza alone as Salza vowed to kill them both.

• Son Gohan kept Salza locked in close combat, preventing him from using his speed to create distance.

• Salza told Son Gohan that he would kill both him and Eliza.

Son Gohan pushed his Kaioken to eighteenfold and fought Salza despite knowing he was outmatched. With only seconds left before his body gave out, he unleashed his final Kamehameha against Salza’s energy spear, leaving their attacks locked in a clash of purple and white light.

• Son Gohan raised his Kaioken to eighteenfold while Salza watched, reaching a level his body could sustain for only two minutes.
• Son Gohan attacked Salza, but Salza struck him and sent him crashing through a building before they exchanged more blows.
• Salza grew enraged when Son Gohan hit his face, then knocked him into the ground and formed a massive purple energy spear.
• Wounded but still determined, Son Gohan fired his last Kamehameha at Salza’s energy spear, and the attacks collided with enough force to tear apart the surrounding buildings.

Son Gohan endured Salza’s purple energy spear and used his spiritual energy to find a way through its power. He emerged from the attack alive and rapidly closed in on Salza.

• Son Gohan’s Kamehameha briefly pushed back Salza’s purple energy spear, but Salza added his own energy and drove it forward again.
• As the spear neared, Son Gohan’s Kaioken and Kamehameha vanished, and he entered a calm state while sensing the spear’s energy pathways.
• Son Gohan touched the spear with one finger and was swallowed by its blast, which devastated the surrounding city.
• Salza sensed Son Gohan’s aura as the blast twisted and opened into a hollow passage.
• Son Gohan emerged through the opening and rapidly approached Salza.

Son Gohan defeated Salza by striking him when his energy pathways became clear, but the effort left him unable to move. As the remaining members of Cooler's Armored Squadron arrived, a disturbance gave him a possible interruption to his impending fate.

• Son Gohan evaded Salza's attacks until Salza's energy settled and his energy pathways became visible.
• Son Gohan struck Salza's chest with his remaining energy, causing Salza's energy to run wild and annihilate him.

• A spacecraft arrived carrying four figures, including Neiz and Dore, while Son Gohan lay helpless.
• A disturbance arose nearby as Son Gohan faced the approaching members of Cooler's Armored Squadron.

Eliza returned to rescue the badly injured Son Gohan and tried to smuggle him past Cooler's search parties. After killing dozens of soldiers, she was confronted by Dore and prepared to fight despite knowing she was outmatched.

• Eliza found Son Gohan in the ruins, carried him away, and evaded Cooler's soldiers as she headed toward the city outskirts.
• Dore and Neiz learned Salza was dead and ordered the soldiers to search for his killer.
• Eliza explained that she returned because she needed Son Gohan's help to escape the sealed city.
• Cooler's soldiers discovered Eliza and Son Gohan, so Eliza tied him to her back and killed dozens of soldiers while forcing a path through them.
• Dore blocked Eliza's escape, and she gathered her resolve and began powering up for a fight.

Eliza fought Dore to protect the unconscious Son Gohan, but Dore’s greater strength gradually pushed her onto the defensive. After a brief stalemate, Dore used a capsule to enlarge himself and prepared to resume the fight.

• Eliza activated her Twelvefold Kaioken and faced Dore while protecting Son Gohan.
• Dore recognized that Eliza’s power increase had helped defeat Salza and attacked her with his own energy flaring.
• Eliza and Dore exchanged direct blows until Dore gained the advantage and forced her into a defensive stalemate.
• Dore struck Eliza dozens of meters away as Neiz appeared and offered to take over.
• Dore swallowed a light brown capsule, grew to more than twice his former size, and challenged Eliza to fight again.

Eliza transformed her ki and held Dore in a stalemate, while Son Gohan, too weak to join the fight, tried to absorb the stray energy around him. The chapter left him drawing in that energy as he hoped to recover in time to help Eliza.

• Eliza let the flames around her vanish, revealing a fundamental change in her energy that Son Gohan sensed.
• Dore charged Eliza, but her denser, higher-quality ki let her withstand his stronger energy as their clash devastated the city.
• Son Gohan realized Eliza could not defeat Dore quickly, especially with Neiz nearby, and hoped she had the Senzu Bean he had given her.
• As Eliza and Dore continued fighting at a distance, Son Gohan began using his spiritual power to draw in the stray energy around him.
• Son Gohan found that the energy responded readily to his spiritual power and urged Eliza to hold on.
