  • Their Soul-Absorbing Art has no effect because Goku’s divine soul was strengthened by Super Shenron.
  • Space Imprisonment and Heaven and Earth Reversal leave him dizzy, and their combined Heaven and Earth Shockwave makes space evaporate—but Goku emerges unharmed.

Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

• Broly from Timeline Three wakes his counterpart from Timeline Two. After explaining that they come from different timelines, the two agree to train together so Broly from Timeline Two can learn to control his power.
• The group spreads out across the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train. Piccolo and Frieza from Timeline Three teach their Timeline Two counterparts how to attain Diamond forms, while Reg trains under added weight. Goku trains separately using increasingly intense gravity.
• After the first thirty years inside the chamber, the fighters have made major gains. Vegito reaches Super Saiyan 6 and top-tier Angel strength; Broly from Timeline Three reaches Super Saiyan 7 and the level of Zeno’s Guards; and Broly from Timeline Two masters Super Saiyan 5. Several other Saiyans also reach Super Saiyan 7, while Jiren, Gohan, and the newly Diamond-form Piccolo and Frieza reach the level of top-tier Gods of Destruction.
• Goku urges the group to keep training because they are outnumbered. He reveals that he believes he could now defeat the Grand Priest in a fight, though he would still struggle against both the Grand Priest and Zeno together.
• Training continues for another sixty-five years. By the end, Vegito reaches the level of Zeno’s Guards; Broly from Timeline Three pushes Super Saiyan 7 to just below the Grand Priest’s level; and most of the others reach Angel-level strength or higher. Goku’s gravity training reaches a multiplier of 10^200.
• By the chapter’s end, every member of the God Slayers has attained at least Angel-level strength.

Character developments

• Piccolo and Frieza from Timeline Three take on teaching roles, helping their counterparts unlock Diamond forms and reach Angel-level strength.
• The wider team advances through sustained effort: Saiyans unlock higher transformations, while Jiren, Piccolo, and Frieza grow through strength and new forms rather than Saiyan transformations.

Significant themes

• Mastering power rather than being ruled by it: Broly’s training begins with a desire to control his destructive strength.
• Growth through discipline and perseverance: Decades of training turn the group into a formidable fighting force.
• Cooperation across timelines: Counterparts share knowledge and train together despite their different histories.

Key plot points and events

• Before launching their mission to kill the Gods of Destruction and Angels, the group asks Goku of Universe 3 whether he can handle Zeno and the Grand Priest.
• Goku reveals that his base form has reached Angel-level power, then demonstrates his transformations through Super Saiyan 8. He believes he can contend with the Grand Priest, Zeno, and even the Great Omni-God.
• Goku explains that Zeno’s death could destroy the universe, so the mission is to keep Zeno and the Grand Priest from interfering—not necessarily to kill them.
• After celebrating with a meal at Vegeta 2’s home, the group uses Bulma’s Time Machines and Vegito’s Time Ring information to travel to another timeline.
• They arrive in a universe where Earth has been destroyed. Vegito reacts furiously, and Goku orders the team to unleash their power and head for the Divine Realm.
• Their energy is sensed across the universes. Vados, Quitela and Cognac, and Belmod and Marcarita all set out for Universe 7 to confront them.

Character developments and interactions

• Goku (Universe 3) establishes himself as the team’s strongest fighter and accepts responsibility for keeping Zeno and the Grand Priest occupied. His playful confidence contrasts with the gravity of the mission.
• Vegeta and the other fighters acknowledge the gap between themselves and Goku, but remain confident they can defeat the Gods of Destruction and Angels.
• Vegito is enraged by the destruction of Earth, sharpening the group’s resolve.
• Frieza and the other fighters are eager for battle; Frieza in particular presses Goku to reveal his full power.
• Belmod and Marcarita disagree about Vegito’s threat. Belmod doubts Vegito could defeat a God of Destruction in a direct fight, while Marcarita warns him not to underestimate Vegito.

Significant themes

• Power and responsibility: Goku’s overwhelming strength makes him central to the mission, but it also gives him the burden of facing the highest authorities.
• Teamwork and resolve: The group’s individual strength matters, yet their plan depends on coordinated roles and shared purpose.

• Pride and underestimation: Several gods dismiss Vegito and his allies, while Marcarita recognizes the danger they pose.

Plot points and events

• The arriving gods taunt Vegito, but Vegito says the balance of power has shifted and vows to kill them.
• Son Goku of another timeline declares himself the resistance’s leader and says their goal is to overthrow the gods’ oppressive rule and create a just order.
• Awamo attacks Goku, but Goku emerges unharmed. The Grand Priest then threatens Goku’s friends and family in his timeline. Goku provokes him by revealing that, in his timeline, the Grand Priest is his father-in-law—and jokes that he married Vados, Marcarita, and Kusu.
• The Grand Priest attacks Goku, but that attack also fails to harm him. Goku proposes either paired one-on-one death matches or an all-out battle. The Grand Priest chooses one-on-one fights, intending to kill the resistance’s fighters publicly and intimidate the Macrocosm.
• The resistance debates how to select fighters. Piccolo of Universe 2 recommends sending their strongest fighters first and abandoning the tournament format for a full battle if the gods exploit the lineup. Goku approves the strategy and jokes about Piccolo’s ruthless “Demon King” nature.

• Vegito remains central to the revolt but lets Goku take the lead in confronting the gods.
• The Grand Priest and Zeno are arrogant and certain of victory. The Grand Priest’s fury at Goku’s provocation gives way to strategic confidence as he chooses the one-on-one format.
• Piccolo of Universe 2 shows a pragmatic, ruthless streak, prioritizing victory over fair play. Goku and the two Friezas respond with amused banter.
• The Gods and Angels belittle the resistance, while the gathered fighters acknowledge that the Angels’ varying strength makes choosing matchups difficult.

• Power and arrogance: The gods’ certainty contrasts with Goku’s demonstrated resilience and the resistance’s growing strength.
• Strategy versus fairness: The fighters debate whether to honor the one-on-one format or adapt—and resort to an all-out battle—if the gods manipulate the matches.
• Defiance through humor: Goku uses jokes and provocation to challenge the Grand Priest’s authority, while the group’s banter eases tension before the coming fights.

• Frieza 3 transforms into Diamond Form and initially dominates the fight, knocking Quitela back and repeatedly slapping him while taunting him.
• Quitela finally breaks free and uses his Destruction power. Frieza 3 evades the attack, tricks Quitela into thinking he has been destroyed, then pierces his chest with a red beam.
• Frieza 3 explains that he and his allies have reached or surpassed Angel-level strength. Quitela dies, and Frieza 3 destroys his body. The chapter ends with the Gods of Destruction stunned and the Grand Priest and Angels grim-faced.

Character developments

• Frieza 3 displays both his cruel, mocking nature and overwhelming power. By killing Quitela, he earns the title God Slayer.
