Hujio and Herms

 

出でよ神の龍　そして願いを叶えてちょんまげ！
Ide yo Kami no Ryū　Sos***e Negai o Kanaete Chonmage!
Come Forth, Dragon of the Gods — Grant My Wish, Pretty Peas!

Summary:
Goku is confused to see Beerus so shocked at the sudden appearance of the tiny newcomer and his two attendants. All of the gods in attendance are the same way: Champa, the Universe 6 Kaioshin, the Elder Kaioshin…all except East Kaioshin, who asks his ancestor who this person is (much to his disgust).

Beerus explains to Goku that their visitor is in fact the “Omni-King”, the person who stands at the pinnacle of the twelve universes. Whis notes that they shouldn’t just stand there looking at the Omni-King, and so Beerus and Champa rush down to formally greet him. Champa is so distracted by this unexpected turn of events that he seems to have completely forgotten about destroying his fighters, much to Cabba’s relief.

After a few formalities, the Omni-King explains that he came to chastise Beerus and Champa for neglecting their duties as God of Destruction and holding a tournament instead. Whis apologies on Beerus’ behalf, explaining how Beerus prefers napping and food over acts of destruction, and Vados claims Champa needs to cut back on his work in order to focus on eating a healthy diet.

The Omni-King jokes about replacing them with some new Gods of Destruction, but then admits that despite initially coming to criticize them, he found the tournament so enjoyable that he wants to hold another one…featuring fighters from every universe!

Goku is thrilled at the idea, and tells Omni-King he’ll be sure to compete…but Beerus freaks out, saying that Goku can’t talk directly to Omni-King like that. However, Omni-King doesn’t mind this breach of etiquette, and compliments Goku on a well-fought match.

He promises to hold this next tournament “soon”, and Goku reaches out to shake hands with Omni-King (freaking Beerus out once more). They shake hands, and Omni-King departs, with his two attendants calling out “bye-cha” as they leave.

With Omni-King gone, Beerus chews Goku out for his rude behavior. If Omni-King felt like it, he could wipe out all twelve universes in the blink of an eye! Goku’s surprised to hear this, but notes that Omni-King didn’t seem like a bad guy, so he probably wouldn’t do something like that. Champa snidely remarks that Beerus’ victory doesn’t mean quite as much anymore. This tournament was really just a warm-up, and Omni-King’s tournament will be the main event! Still, Champa says a loss is a loss, and he’ll hand over his six Super Dragon Balls as promised…though he doubts they’ll be able to find the final one so easily.

Champa thinks Omni-King will probably be angry if the Universe 6 fighters aren’t present at his tournament, so he begrudgingly spares them. Cabba happily tells Vegeta that now he can give him a tour of Planet Sadal…repeatedly referring to Vegeta as “master” (in the sense of a martial arts master) despite Vegeta’s protests. Goku approaches Hit, telling him he doesn’t know when this next tournament will be, but if Hit can’t wait until then, he’d be happy to give him a rematch three days from now…or even tomorrow, if three days is too long. Hit says “see you later” and takes off. Boo wakes up, saying he slept well, but is sad he wasn’t able to grant Mister Satan’s wish. Satan’s not worried though, since coming to the tournament allowed him to meet Monaka. He offers to let Monaka be the mascot for his gym, but Monaka seems unsure.

Now the matter of the Super Dragon Balls is all that remains to be cleared up. Bulma has Beerus promise not to wish for anything terrible (such as the destruction of the universe). After all, if he did something like that, he’d probably get chewed out by Omni-King. At first Bulma is at a loss because she can’t seem to locate the signal for the seventh Super Dragon Ball on her radar…but looking closely it turns out there are already seven signals gathered together right there. Monaka suggests they need to look at a space map like this from a 3D perspective.

Whis thinks this is a great suggestion, and has everyone pile into his Cube vessel. They zoom away from the Nameless Planet, which Whis reveals to actually be the seventh and final Super Dragon Ball. Whis explains that when the Super Dragon Balls scattered after the last time they granted a wish, this Super Dragon Ball must have collided with a small planet and become covered in the debris, making it look like a planet itself. With all seven balls gathered, they must now summon the dragon by saying “come forth dragon of the gods and grant my wish, pretty peas” (pretty peas=chonmage, literally a topknot hairstyle, the joke being that this replaces choudai/”please”) using the language of the gods.

Beerus translates this phrase into the “language of the gods” (which is actually ordinary Japanese spoken backwards, syllable by syllable), but stumbles over chonmage. What the heck is that? Bulma explains that it’s the topknot hairstyle worn by samurai or sumo wrestlers, but Beerus says there is no such word in the divine language. Bulma suggests he therefore leave the word as-is, and Whis speaks the message this way. At first it doesn’t seem to work, but before too long a titanic golden dragon, seemingly as big as a galaxy or bigger, appears.

As the ship rocks wildly, Whis assures them they have nothing to worry about. Their ship is swallowed up by the dragon, and the next thing they know they are in a strange space. It turns out they are inside the body of “Super Shenlong” (as the characters now refer to the dragon), and Goku wonders if this means they’ll get pooped out. A smaller version of Super Shenlong appears before them, and Beerus explains that this is the dragon’s core or nucleus. Super Shenlong speaks to them in the language of the gods, asking that they name their wish. Beerus says something in the divine language to Whis, who repeats it to Super Shenlong. Saying that their wish is granted, Super Shenlong vanishes.

Bulma demands to know what Beerus wished for, and he claims it was merely for a comfier bed. Bulma says she could have easily given Beerus that, and calls him an idiot, and Beerus threatens to destroy them all. Elsewhere, Champa and Vados are returning to their own universe, when Vados uses her all-seeing staff to discover that Universe 6’s version of Earth has been restored. It’s inhabited once more, with the same level of civilization as Universe 7’s Earth. Now Champa can get all the tasty Earth food he wants! Champa realizes that this must have been what Beerus wished for…but is annoyed that now he owes Beerus a favor.

Back on Beerus’ planet, Goku still wants to spar with Monaka, and Beerus promises to let him sometime soon, but now it’s time to go home. Beerus secretly pays Monaka off with a huge pile of gold, saying he’ll keep using him to spur Goku on. For now though, Monaka can return to his ordinary job (apparently some sort of delivery man). Goku and the gang fly back to Earth, and Piccolo says this upcoming tournament between all the universes will be amazing. Jaco agrees, saying he’ll take another holiday to come see it. The narrator wonders what new adventures are in store for them all…

To me it seems like this whole series exists to try top every other power wise and nothing more than that.


Also short weak looking dude is the most powerful in actuality...never saw that coming ever.

Oh, and for us power scaling nuts, Xeno is powerful enough to wipe out all 12 universes in the blink of an eye.

Oh, I'm sure the GT fans will come up with a dubious-at-best reason that doesn't count soon enough.

Well their speed is like, Dragon Ball tier by feats, plus sneak attacks do a ton of damage.

Also to be fair Steve it's not like the show has much else to its belt. What else should they do to draw in people if the animation and writing won't?

Yeah, exactly.

That doesn't look like something out of the Dragon Ball world. That looks like something from Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh!, but whatever.

That's part of why I like it, honestly.

It's about time we get something from this whole universe traveling thing that doesn't look exactly like what you'd find in the one we're used to.

Everyone's comparing the dragon to Yugioh, but does anyone else see Chakravartin in it? The gold coloration and the size of the galaxies around it seems to say that to me


And on the subject of Zenos, I'm fine with the power scaling being increased, what I don't want is BS explanations like the "shockwaves" and "it's just a fight".

What you think is lame about the dragon's design?
