Post Battle Aftermath

Goku training instead of working
Sometime after the battle with Majin Buu, Goku is working on the field to make money for Chi-Chi. He takes a break from using the tractor to plow the fields so he can stop and eat. Once he's finished, he turns Super Saiyan and begins to train instead, while his son, Goten, takes care of his work. Goten loses focus while he's observing his father train, and falls off a cliff with the tractor. Goku teleports and saves his son before he can hit the ground. Meanwhile, Beerus has awoken and visits a planet with Whis. Beerus demands they serve him the best food they have, and upon being served, Beerus complains that the food is too greasy. To express his dissatisfaction, he taps his finger on the table, and destroys half of the planet. Around that time, Mr. Satan is being awarded 100 million Zeni for "saving" the Earth from Majin Buu. Buu walks in and complains he's hungry. Nobody is frightened by Buu, as they had their memories of him erased in one of the Dragon Ball wishes. Buu is visibly upset after Mr. Satan told him he would get him something to eat later, instead of then. After the ceremony, Mr. Satan promises to prepare Buu a feast. Gohan is walking around with Videl, and is very happy that Videl got him a book titled "Muzukashii Hon" that would help him with his studies.

Goten and Trunks ambushed by a giant serpent monster
Goten wants to get Videl a wedding gift, and asks Trunks to help him. Trunks comes up with an idea, and they head to a jewelry shop to buy her jewelry, but decide against it as the gems are all too tiny. Their next idea is to buy Videl cosmetics, but decide against it as well, because it's too expensive. A man in the store rants about how outrageous the prices are, and how the hot spring near his house can make wrinkly skin smooth. Trunks inquires about this, and is given directions. Goten and Trunks carry a container with them while they search for the hot spring. Upon finding it and gathering it in the jar, they are attacked by a giant serpent. Trunks defeats it, and they head to Gohan's house. They hand over the jar to Videl, who greatly thanks them. Later that evening, Goten tells Goku about his day, when Mr. Satan arrives, saying he found them thanks to Chi-Chi, and wants to thank Goku for saving the world. To reward Goku, he decides to give him and his family the 100 million zeni peace reward that he was falsely given. Goku is hesitant at first, but Goten tells his father that Chi-Chi will let him go train with King Kai if he accepts the money. Goku reluctantly accepts it and returns home to show Chi-Chi; she allows Goku to train without a second thought.

Mr. Satan giving Goku the 100 million zeni peace prize
Master Roshi overhears this and wants to use the money to buy some "interesting" DVDs. At the Sacred World of the Kais, Kibito Kai and Old Kai sense that another planet has been destroyed. After being granted permission from Chi-Chi to train with King-Kai, Goku uses instant transmission to arrive at King Kai's place. King Kai is driving around his planet, and barely manages to avoid Goku after he arrives right in front ofhim, but crashes into his house anyway. King Kai fixes his house while Goku has lunch that King Kai prepared. Goku then begins to train after he gets full. Bulma and Vegeta, with their son Trunks, are traveling with Bulma's airplane to a resort for their family vacation. Vegeta chooses to stand on top, so Bulma trains Vegeta by cranking up the speed and flying through the ocean, and a forest full of thick trees.

The Brief family chowing down on food
Once they arrive at the resort, they go shopping. Bulma thanks Vegeta for stopping his training, and choosing to spend time with his family. Vegeta says it's because he wants to keep the promise he made to Trunks. After refusing to help Trunks carry the shopping items, he tells Bulma he's hungry. They order food, and Bulma notices it makes him less moody. The octopus they order shoots ink and smothers Vegeta with it when he pulls on the tentacle, which makes Vegeta extremely angry until Bulma calms him down. They relax on a beach with a sunset sky, and Bulma sees a cruise liner which gives her an idea for her birthday party.

Vegeta snaps
At the resort, Vegeta gets lost from Bulma and Trunks, and is stuck with hundreds of other people in a festival. He begins to think he's just wasting his time there, and is wondering how much Goku is training. The people next to him keep bumping into him, much to Vegeta's annoyance. The man on the stage notices him, and tells him to stop being such a party pooper and dance on the stage. Vegeta snaps and blows everyone back. The crowd is utterly shocked, while Bulma and Trunks look up, surprised how long Vegeta lasted, while he flies away to train.
Enter Beerus and Whis
Meanwhile, Beerus is at his planet, and is trying to remember what his dream was. He asks Whis if his lunch is ready, and Whis responds through the hourglass, saying just two more minutes. Whis travels at warp speed to a lively planet populated by an unknown species. There, a gigantic dinosaur is roaming the land, while the species members sneakingly come out and attack it by throwing axes at it. The axes don't affect it, and simply bounce off. The dinosaur unleashes a fiery breath and kills a large number of the population, while the rest that survive run away, scared. The fire catches the trees and starts to burn them down, when the dinosaur is approached by the Leader, who easily kills it.
The species gleefully cheer as they take home their food, when the Leader is approached by Whis, who asks that they hand over the dinosaur. Whis realizes that the Leader can't understand his language, so he talks to the Leader through a universal alien language. The Leader refuses to give up the dinosaur meat, and transforms. Beerus arrives and asks what is taking so long. Whis explains that dinosaur meat is a luxurious food, and not easy to come by. Beerus responds by saying that the dinosaur meat will help him remember the premonition he dreamed about, to which Whis says that most of his premonitions never hold true. The Leader attacks Beerus, throwing a barrage of punches at him, all blocked by Beerus with one finger. Beerus easily disposes of him, and changes his mind about wanting to eat the dinosaur meat. He blows the planet up, which the Old Kai senses and tells Kibito Kai that the God of Destruction Beerus has awoken. As the planet explodes, Beerus imagines the premonition he dreamed in the blinding light coming from it. He then remembers the name as Super Saiyan God.

Beerus with Whis after destroying another planet
After abandoning his family on their vacation, Vegeta decides to train in a gravity chamber at 150x Earth's gravity. Like his usual gravity training, he has to dodge the lasers being shot at him. Upon being hit, the gravity shuts off, and Vegeta is left there extremely worn out. He declares that he may have admitted Kakarot to be the strongest Saiyan, but will soon surpass not only him, but everyone in the universe. As Beerus and Whis are traveling, Whis asks Beerus to describe the Super Saiyan God in more detail. Beerus then asks Whis why he can't fly any faster, to which he stops and explains that he's the fastest in the universe, before continuing again. At the Sacred World of the Kais, Old Kai explains to Kibito Kai that they are the Gods of Creation, and Beerus is the opposite of that; he is one of the Gods of Destruction. He warns Kibito Kai that they must not let anybody challenge Lord Beerus to a fight, specifically Goku. King Kai calls them via telepathy and tells them that Goku is with him, and he'll make sure Goku doesn't hear of it. Goku overhears King Kai saying his name and questions him about it. King Kai tries to switch the conversation by reminding Goku about the sacrifice he, Bubbles, and Gregory made for him when they were killed by Cell in the explosion. Beerus and Whis are relaxing at Beerus' temple and eating desert when Whis asks Beerus if he's sure he remembered the name correctly. Beerus suggests that they call upon the Oracle Fish to remember the name, with Whis questioning how reliable the Oracle Fish is. After a moment of being summoned with no answer, the Oracle Fish launches throughout the room and bounces off the walls, knocking Beerus' desert out of his cup.

The Oracle Fish after being called upon by Beerus
Beerus reminds her of what she said 39 years ago, that he would face his ultimate adversary, to which the Oracle Fish said he would face him today. After being asked if she remembered the name, the Oracle Fish thought about it and told them she didn't remember. Beerus then threatened to take away one of her daily feedings. After being threatened, the Oracle Fish finally remembered the name as what Beerus originally thought it was. Whis tells Beerus that the Super Saiyan God doesn't exist, which Beerus responds by saying the Saiyans might know something about it. He then remembers that Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza. Whis explains to Beerus that not all Saiyans were killed by Frieza, and that a few escaped, most notably Vegeta.

Beerus shocked at the news of Frieza's defeat
As Beerus relaxes in a hot spring, he asks Whis about the surviving Saiyans' whereabouts. Whis responds by saying all remaining Saiyans reside on planet Earth, and that the Saiyan named Goku defeated Frieza. Beerus is dismayed at the fact that someone defeated somebody as powerful as Frieza. Whis says that Goku was only a Super Saiyan when he defeated Frieza, and is currently residing on King Kai's planet. Beerus wants to find out more about the Super Saiyan God, and asks Whis to take him to King Kai's planet, who is told that it will take 26 minutes and 44 seconds to get there, to his surprise.
Bulma's Birthday Party
Krillin is driving his wife, Android 18, and their child, Marron, to the bingo tournament at Bulma's birthday party. Android 18 is angry over the traffic being so bad, while Krillin responds by saying she shouldn't have taken so long with her makeup. She retorts by saying she has to look good for a party. They instead decide to fly there to get there quicker. On the Princess Bulma, Bulma's cruise ship, Goten and Trunks are exploring around the ship, and Master Roshi and Oolong are taking turns looking through a telescope at women on the beach. Bulma sees Buu eating before anybody else can eat, and gets mad with Buu, but Mr. Satan tells her he'll handle it. Gohan tells Bulma that Goku and Vegeta aren't coming, as they are busy training, to Bulma's irritation. On King Kai's planet, Goku continues to train, but drops the weights in shock. King Kai thinks that Goku realizes Beerus is coming, but is relieved to hear that Goku forgot about Bulma's birthday party instead.
Beerus and Whis travel to King Kai's planet via Whis' warp speed abilities
Whis packs Beerus' lunch, and they set off to King Kai's planet. Kibito Kai and Old Kai are amazed at how fast they're traveling, and Beerus' strength. King Kai is terrified of the arrival of Beerus, unaware that Goku is right next to him. Goku has no clue what King Kai is worried about, and thinks he's acting weird. To make Goku forget about what he was talking about, King Kai does some silly dances to get Goku's mind off of what he was saying earlier. As everybody is enjoying themselves on Bulma's cruise, Trunks shows Goten around the ship. Goten is surprised to see the door open to a room filled with the bingo prizes, such as a luxurious car, airplane, and a huge diamond. Trunks presses a switch, and a trapdoor unlocks, which a giant stand containing the Dragon Balls rises from the ground. It is heavily guarded, with multiple layers of protection and a pinkish electric barrier surrounding it. Touching it even slightly causes the person who touched it to fly back, even powerful Saiyans like Goten. Trunks acknowledges how amazing his mom's inventions are, but pulls the plug, saying that there's always a way around them. After Trunks pulls the plug, the barrier around it disappears. He then enters a combination of buttons on the button pad, after which the hatch opens, revealing all seven Dragon Balls.

The Pilaf Gang boards the ship
Meanwhile, Emperor Pilaf and his minions, Mai and Shu, are on a deserted island looking for a supposed treasure that Emperor Pilaf said was there. While Mai and Shu are digging, Emperor Pilaf is fishing for food. Emperor Pilaf's Dragon Radar starts beeping, signalling the Dragon Balls are nearby. It turns out to be on the Princess Bulma, the cruise ship close to them, to his excitement. Because their motor boat isn't working, they have to paddle their selves to the ship instead. Goten and Trunks help them up the ship by throwing down a ladder. As the chefs pass by them carrying dishes of food, the Pilaf Gang is starving. Goten and Trunks do them another favor by bringing them food, which they gladly chow down on. Vegeta, still training, is interrupted by a Capsule Corporation assistant who brings the phone to the gravity chamber. Vegeta listens to his wife yell through the speaker, demanding him to come to her birthday party on her cruise liner. On King Kai's planet, Goku trains by blasting a Kamehameha which makes a complete circle around the planet, with Goku catching his own Kamehameha and controlling it.

Goku training on King Kai's planet
King Kai gets angry with Goku for not warning him. King Kai mumbles to himself how that's another reason he doesn't want Goku to meet Beerus. Goku hears this and asks King Kai who he is. Seeing as how he has no other choice at this point, King Kai finally explains who Beerus is. He explains that he is a God of Destruction, and as such, his job is to destroy planets. Upon explaining everything to Goku, he tells him to hide. Beerus arrives with Whis and greets the North Kai, who is terrified at his presence. King Kai tries to stay calm, who is warned by Beerus that he'll shrink his planet even more if not satisfied by the food. When asked how long it's been since they last saw each other, King Kai says it's been 327 years. Goku is discovered by Beerus hiding and is told to come out.

Beerus and Whis arrive on King Kai's planet
After Goku informally introduces himself, much to King Kai's dismay, he is asked if he was aware of a Super Saiyan God. Clueless to what Beerus was talking about, Beerus then decides to travel to Earth to ask the other Saiyans if they know of something. Before they left, Goku asks Beerus to a fight to test his power. Goku transforms into a regular Super Saiyan, and charges after Beerus, missing every punch in the process. He then ups his power, transforming into a Super Saiyan 2, but still misses every punch. At last, he is forced to ascend into his most powerful form, Super Saiyan 3, but still misses every punch, and unleashes a Kamehameha that tears through the other side of King Kai's planet. He continues to throw punch after punch, to no avail. After that, Goku is frozen as Beerus hovers over to him and flicks his forehead, sending him flying, then Beerus appears behind him, and grabs his shoulder, reverting him to his base form and knocking him unconscious. Beerus and Whis say their goodbyes to King Kai and leave.

Super Saiyan 3 Goku vs. Beerus
King Kai tends to Goku, who wakes up after momentarily being unconscious after the devastating blow from Beerus. Goku is shown to be in major pain, and is told by King Kai that he's lucky to have survived the fight against Lord Beerus. After Vegeta finally decides to show up at Bulma's birthday party, he is contacted by King Kai via telepathy, and is told to make sure nobody angers the God of Destruction, or Earth and its inhabitants will perish. Goku says he needs to get up and save Earth, but is told to rest. After he is fully healed, Goku decides to sit around for a while and wait it out. Before Beerus and Whis arrive on Earth, Vegeta is pondering how somebody as strong as Kakarot could be defeated in just two blows. When they arrive, Beerus slightly touches Vegeta with the nail of his finger, and Vegeta nervously stumbles away from him. Vegeta tries to attack him, but Beerus' glare causes his body to stop moving and make him fall down. Vegeta looks up at Beerus and has a flashback from when he was a child. In his flashback, Beerus is shown shown resting his foot on King Vegeta's head and pushing down on it, angry that he didn't get the most comfortable pillow on the planet, and that King Vegeta used it for himself.

Vegeta paralyzed by Beerus' presence
As Beerus is about to eat one, Goten and Trunks come from around the corner and accidentally spray Beerus with water during their water gun match. They apologize and run off, but Beerus becomes infuriated anyway, and rises above the ship as if he were about to charge his ki to destroy Earth. Vegeta panics and dives into the sea to grab an octopus, who blasts it into several pieces, and cooks and prepares it for Beerus. Beerus calms down and states to Whis that he can't be angry in that kind of atmosphere. Whis asks Beerus if he has tried pudding before, who says it's delicious, and points to where it is. Beerus goes over to Buu and asks if he could share some pudding with him, who bitterly declines to share any. Beerus gets frustrated with Buu, with Mr. Satan attempting to console Beerus for his friend's selfish actions.

The Battle of Gods
To perform the ritual, Goku needs the help of five other righteous Saiyans. They only have four, those being Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Vegeta. The first time they perform the ritual, they all turn Super Saiyan and transfer their ki into Goku instead of their heart. As they're all confused on what to do, Videl steps in and tells them she's pregnant with Pan, who has one fourth Saiyan blood in her. They try the ritual again, which ends up being a very tedious process. The clouds and sea turn golden, and the weather and day changes multiple times in a matter of seconds, showing how powerful the Super Saiyan God transformation is. After becoming a red silhouette, then a shadowy figure, Goku returns to his natural appearance, but as a Super Saiyan God. Everyone is amazed at the form's appearance, but nobody can sense the power of it, due to them not being able to sense his ki. After being congratulated for achieving the form by Beerus, Goku challenges Beerus to another fight.

Goku and Beerus' beam struggle
Hearing this (and thinking of Videl and his unborn grandchild), Mr. Satan begs Whis to use his “magic” to protect them, or at least to try and stop the fight, but Whis says he cannot do either. Mr. Satan quickly draws up a pass to eat anywhere in the country to try and bribe Whis into helping them, and although Whis is sorely tempted, he ultimately refuses. Out in space, Goku and Beerus’ beam struggle finally results in a gigantic explosion. Seeing this down on the cruise ship, Mr. Satan and Gohan both rush to protect Videl. The explosion produces a blinding flash of light, but when it clears everything is still fine. Mr. Satan is confident that he produced a miracle that saved the world. No sooner after he says this, he receives a phone call from his manager, Miss Piiza. Back at Mr. Satan’s mansion, Miss Pizza and co. are being flooded with calls. Mr. Satan tells them he has saved the world and that they should prepare a press conference, and an autograph signing session as well. Meanwhile, Whis thinks to himself that Beerus must have chosen “that method”.
