Ch. 301Training the Universe Patrol
Plot points and events
- After returning to Earth, Goku and Vegeta explain that Zeno has created the Universe Patrol, with the two Saiyans as its captains. Its purpose is to maintain peace and eliminate evil.
- Goku recruits Jiren, while Vegeta invites Toppo and Dyspo from Universe 11 and Cabba and Hit from Universe 6. Their gods object briefly, but ultimately allow them to join.
- Zeno formally announces the organization three days later. Ten days after the initial meeting, Goku and Vegeta gather the recruits and other warriors at Vegeta’s home, then transport them to Universe 3 for two months of training.
- At Goku’s home, Caulifla points the group toward the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. There they find several warriors already training.
- Goku assigns experienced fighters to train the newcomers: Piccolo trains Piccolo, Jiren trains the other Jirens, and members of Goku’s family take on Trunks, Cabba, Gohan, Goten, Toppo, Dyspo, and Hit. Goku and Vegeta from Universe 4 also begin training, while Goku 3 resumes meditation.
