  • Omega Shenron overwhelmed Frieza on Pegasus Star until Son Wu arrived and Frieza transformed into Black Frieza.
  • Black Frieza battered Omega Shenron, but Omega Shenron spread negative energy and self-destructed, destroying Pegasus Star while Son Wu and Frieza survived behind an Energy Barrier.
