Episode Information

Episode Summary

On Kaiō’s planet, Goku has been revived with a senzu and is raring to follow Beerus to Earth, but Kaiō warns him to stay put, and Goku grumpily obeys. Meanwhile at Bulma’s birthday party, everyone continues to have fun… except Vegeta, who is panicking over the imminent arrival of Beerus. Just as Vegeta wonders where he has heard the name “Beerus” before, the God of Destruction himself suddenly appears behind him. Vegeta rushes toward Beerus but suddenly falls over paralyzed from one of Beerus’ techniques. Looking up at Beerus’ face, he suddenly remembers how Beerus had come to Planet Vegeta when he was young and tormented his father, King Vegeta, for not being sufficiently respectful, the one thing Beerus can never forgive. Vegeta recalls trying to help his father, but ending up paralyzed in much the same way as in the present.

Back in the present, Beerus tells Vegeta he ought to have destroyed their planet all those years ago. He questions Vegeta about Super Saiyan God, but Vegeta is as ignorant about it as Goku was. At that moment, Bulma happens to walk by. Beerus and Whis introduce themselves and explain that Vegeta has drank too much. While Bulma nonchalantly takes them along and introduces them to everyone else, Vegeta manages to crawl along after them. To his horror, Yamcha is a bit too friendly and informal with Beerus, and Kuririn even offers his some “Russian” takoyaki (octopus dumplings): regular takoyaki balls with a single, wasabi-filled ball thrown into the mix. Beerus tries some, and the nasty look on his face convinces Vegeta that he’s picked the wasabi-filled one and that this spells the end. He vividly imagines the Earth blowing up, but it turns out Beerus has picked the regular takoyaki, which he finds absolutely delicious. Meanwhile, Kuririn tries some himself and happens to pick the wasabi-filled one, which proves far too spicy for him to handle.

With Beerus seemingly calm for the time being, the party continues on as before. The Pilaf Gang have eaten their fill, and Pilaf is still determined to find the Dragon Balls on the ship. Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks have a squirt gun battle, while Gohan and Videl romantically look out to sea together. Observing all this, Beerus notes that the Saiyans certainly are different nowadays, even considering that these are just half-breeds. Certainly none of them appear to be Super Saiyan God. Just as Beerus is considering heading back home, he gets nailed with a squirt gun blast. He furiously rises into the air, aura flaring, but Vegeta desperately dives overboard and brings back a massive octopus, which he begins to personally cook into takoyaki in order to appease Beerus (Kuririn requests no Wasabi this time).

Bulma is happy to see Vegeta doing all this for her birthday party, and Beerus does seem to calm down. Whis tells him about a delicious dessert called “pudding”, and they go to try some, but Boo is hogging all of the pudding for himself. Though Mister Satan tells Boo to share some with Beerus and Whis, he instead angrily licks all of the pudding. Mister Satan apologizes on behalf of Boo, but both Beerus and Boo knock him out of the way and begin to fight. Beerus easily dispatches Boo, noting once again that he can never forgive those who fail to show him the proper respect. Vegeta sees to his horror that despite his best efforts, the God of Destruction is now completely ticked off.

Episode Notes

• In the 2013 theatrical film Battle of Gods, Vegeta distracts Beerus in order to calm him down by performing a bingo song, whereas in Dragon Ball Super he distracts him by diving into the sea and pulling out an octopus for another round of takoyaki (octopus dumplings).
• Beerus’ line after surprising Vegeta (“Do I really have to give my name? After all, you are already dead.”) is a reference to the classic Kenshiro line from Fist of the North Star. Beerus mentions the length of an anime episode in both Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Super; perhaps the series exists in the Dragon World…?!
• In the previous episode’s next episode preview Vegeta is shown with two left hands as he falls down in front of Beerus and Whis. This has been corrected within the episode.
