Beerus, the God of Destruction, has a dream where he faces a warrior known as "Super Saiyan God" and wishes to find him. Seeking Saiyans out, Beerus is challenged by Goku but defeats him quickly and announces his plan to destroy Earth. Goku has his fellow Saiyans pass him their powers so that he can become the Super Saiyan God; the fight ends undecided and Beerus spares Earth. Beerus' mentor Whis started training Goku and Vegeta, who both surpassed Super Saiyan God by achieving a form known as Super Saiyan Blue. Beerus and his twin brother Champa, the God of Destruction from Universe 6, decide to hold a fighting tournament to determine which universe will take Universe 7's Earth and get to use the Super Dragon Balls, the original planet-size Dragon Balls scattered throughout both Universes from which the Namekian ones were derived. Goku is the first to fight from Universe 7, easily defeating Universe 6's Botamo by ring out, after which he begins battling Frost. | ||||

Frost defeats Goku by ring out and then defeats Piccolo in the same exact way. However, it is learned that Frost cheated by using a hidden poisoned needle, thus allowing Piccolo and Goku back into the competition, however Piccolo declines reentry and Goku is placed after Vegeta, who declines to accept Frost's disqualification. Vegeta then quickly defeats Frost by ring out. Vegeta struggles against the impervious Otta Magetta, but succeeds when he insults him, resulting in the mentally delicate metal man becoming depressed and unable to fight. During his fight against Cabbe, Vegeta taunts and insults the young Saiyan in order to help him achieve Super Saiyan, before quickly knocking him out. Unable to land even a single blow, Vegeta is then defeated by Hit. Although able to keep up with Hit, Goku acknowledges Hit is limited by the rule of not being able to kill and steps out of bounds in order to see Monaka fight. However, Hit realizes Monaka is not actually a fighter and throws their match. As winner, Beerus uses the Super Dragon Balls to restore the humans on Universe 6's Earth. Zenō-sama, the Lord of Everything who rules over all 12 Universes, shows up and says he will organize a similar tournament among all the universes. Trunks, who previously traveled back in time from the future, returns having fled from someone he calls Goku Black, a Goku doppelgänger in his timeline who wants to annihilate all mortals on Earth in the name of justice and has already done so to several other planets. | ||||

Just before the appearance of Goku Black, Trunks trained under the Kaiō-shin in order to defeat Bobbidi in his timeline. He succeeded in stopping the resurrection of Majin Boo, but Kaiō-shin died, causing the death of Beerus too. Beerus and Whis deduce that Goku Black must be an upper-level god himself to know that the Lord of Lords' life is connected to that of the God of Destruction's. Meanwhile, Zenō-sama summons Goku to his palace to be his friend and gives him a button to press to summon him. In an investigation to prevent this from happening in their own timeline, Beerus and Whis identify Zamas, Northern Lord of Worlds in Universe 10 and apprentice Lord of Lords under Gowas who feels wiping out unworthy mortals is appropriate for Lords of Lords, as the culprit and destroy him. Goku Black/Zamas killed Gowas, used the Super Dragon Balls to switch bodies with Goku and killed him, traveled in time to Trunks' timeline, and killed the remaining Lords of Lords which in turn killed the Gods of Destruction. Meanwhile, Vegeta is about to defeat Goku Black when the Zamas of Trunks' timeline appears and heals him, increasing his strength as Saiyans do and reaching a new level he dubs Super Saiyan Rosé. It is revealed that Zamas used the Dragon Balls to make himself immortal. Trunks distracts Goku Black and Zamas so Goku and Vegeta can flee back to their timeline. | ||||

Goku goes to Kame-Sennin to learn the Mafū-ba technique, while Vegeta trains in the Room of Spirit and Time. Kaiō-shin and Gowas travel to Trunks' timeline where Gowas is seriously wounded while trying to talk Goku Black out of his plan. Having returned, Vegeta fights Goku Black in Super Saiyan God form while briefly switching to Super Saiyan Blue when he attacks. Goku tries to lock Zamas away using the Mafū-ba, but forgot the talisman to seal it. Losing the battle, Goku Black and Zamas use their Potara earrings to fuse into one body they call "God Zamas". Having learned that Potara fusion only lasts one hour when the users are not Lord of Lords, Goku and Vegeta use it to form Vegerot. Although they are winning in Super Saiyan Blue form, Goku and Vegeta separate early as the fusion was unstable either due to their massive power or because they are mortal. Having realized that he possesses healing powers from apprenticing under a Lord of Lords, Trunks heals Goku's injuries. Having now perfected Super Saiyan Blue, Goku is able to stand up to God Zamas although it is damaging his body. | ||||
5 | The Decisive Battle! Farewell, Trunks! Kessen! Saraba Torankusu (決戦!さらばトランクス) | March 2, 2018[12] 978-4-08-881447-6 | May 7, 2019[13] 978-1-9747-0458-3 | |

Deciding to use everything he has left in one final attack, Goku begins using Beerus' Destruction technique to destroy God Zamas' body but stops when Mai is used as a shield. When their Portara fusion starts separating due to the hour time limit, Trunks cuts them in two with his sword and seemingly finishes off Goku Black. But during the fusion their cells joined, meaning the immortal God Zamas was simply split into two. When Vegeta fires an attack blowing them to pieces, they split into even more copies. Realizing the futility, everyone plans to flee to the main timeline while Goku and Vegeta buy as much time as possible against an army of God Zamas. However, Goku remembers the button Zenō-sama gave him and presses it summoning the Zenō-sama of Trunks' timeline, who then destroys the universe and God Zamas, while everyone else flees to the main timeline. Goku travels back one more time to get that Zenō-sama and bring him to the Zenō-sama of the main timeline, while Trunks and Mai later travel back to their timeline but before the Lord of Lords died so they can warn Beerus about Zamas. Beerus ignores Goku when asked about the interuniverse tournament that Zenō-sama talked about, so he goes to the two Zenō-samas to remind them. The Zenō-samas plan to hold it in 40 hours and summon the Gods of Destruction from all 12 universes, their Angels, and the Lords of Lords to tell them about the Tournament of Power. Because future Zenō-sama has never seen one before, it is decided that a Zen Exhibition Match will be held as a battle royale amongst all the Gods of Destruction. Realizing this is all Goku's fault, the Gods of Destruction all decide to gang up on Beerus, who dodges them all, until Belmod attacks Sidra and reminds them it is every man for themselves. | ||||
6 | The Super Warriors Gather! Atsumare Chō Senshi-Tachi! (集まれ超戦士たち!) | June 4, 2018[14] 978-4-08-881501-5 | September 3, 2019[15] 978-1-9747-0520-7 | |
| ||||
Because the Gods of Destruction's fighting is too intense for the Zenō-samas to enjoy, the exhibition match is cancelled. However, a new one between mortals Goku and Toppo, Belmod's apprentice to succeed him as God of Destruction, is held instead. Goku loses and Toppo informs him that a mortal named Jiren is the strongest in Universe 11, stronger than even Belmod. The rules for the Tournament of Power between universes are explained; each universe will select 10 fighters to compete in a 48 minute battle royale, no weapons or medicines allowed, and no killing. Thus, eliminating opponents by knocking them out of the ring is the goal. The team with the most fighters remaining at the end will win a wish with the Super Dragon Balls, while the losing universes will be erased by the Zenō-samas. Although Universes 1, 12, 5 and 8 are exempt from participating and erasure due to their high average "mortal levels." The competing universes have 39 hours to form their teams. In Universe 11, Toppo recruits his fellow Pride Troopers, including Dyspo and Jiren. In Universe 6, Cabbe recruits two female Saiyans, Caulifla and Kale. In Universe 7, Vegeta, Piccolo, Kame-Sennin, Kuririn, Android 18, Gohan and Tenshinhan are recruited easily enough. Goku then seeks out and recruits Android 17, who has become a wildlife conservationist on a wildlife sanctuary. In order to complete their roster, they are forced to have Baba Uranai revive the dead Freeza for 24 hours, promising to fully resurrect him if they win. | ||||
7 | Universe Survival! The Tournament of Power Begins!! Uchū Sabaibaru! Chikara no Taikai Kaishi! (宇宙サバイバル!力の大会開始!) | September 4, 2018[16] 978-4-08-881575-6 | December 3, 2019[17] 978-1-9747-0777-5 | |
| ||||
The Tournament of Power begins in the World of Void, where the fighters are unable to fly by using chi, with Universe 7 quickly knocking out six opponents. Freeza forms an alliance with Frost, directing him to take out his own teammates Kuririn and Tenshinhan and then to go all out on others. Tired after knocking out seven more people, Frost is then betrayed by Freeza and eliminated. Freeza also eliminates the Trio de Dangers, making Universe 9 the first to lose and the first erased from existence. Trying to fight Jiren, Goku is held back by the other Pride Troopers until he sees Jiren knock down Hit and charges at him in Super Saiyan Blue. However, neither man is able to land a strike until Hit stops Jiren from knocking Goku out, settling a debt from their last fight. Hit proposes the two team up while he uses his new technique on Jiren, but Goku declines wanting to beat Jiren alone and alludes to wanting to first achieve a new transformation. Hit's new technique slows Jiren down, allowing him to push him to the edge of the ring, but Jiren was only acting and easily knocks Hit out of contention. Android 18 has trouble with Ribrianne and her two subordinates, until she gets distracted by 18's handsome husband Kuririn. But as 18 is about to eliminate them, all four plus two more contestants are knocked out by an invisible fighter from Universe 4, who is then stopped by Piccolo. However, Piccolo is then eliminated by another fighter from the same Universe that no one can spot. This causes everyone to be on guard, until Android 17 uses his hearing to learn that the opponent was not invisible but insect-size and eliminates him. 37 fighters are left, with 33 minutes remaining in the tournament. | ||||
8 | Sign of Son Goku's Awakening Son Gokū Kakusei no "Kizashi" (孫悟空覚醒の”兆”) | December 4, 2018[18] 978-4-08-881649-4 | March 3, 2020[19] 978-1-9747-0941-0 | |

With Caulifla about to be eliminated by Freeza, the shy Kale comes to her aid and transforms into a form of Super Saiyan never seen before. Suspected by her fellow Universe 6 Saiyans of being the Legendary Saiyan, who appears every 1,000 years with power that keeps growing until they essentially self-destruct, Kale loses her senses and goes on a rampage, which results in four more universes losing and being erased from existence. The teamwork of Universe 11 eventually knocks Kale flying out of the ring, but Cabbe sacrifices himself and throws her back in so that her and Caulifla could fuse together using the Potara earrings that the latter stole off of their Lord of Lords before the tournament began. Although the earrings are against the rules, the childlike Zenō-samas are too excited about the result to care. Fused with Kale's brute power and Caulifla's battle sense, Kefla eliminates six members of Universe 11 before fighting to a dual ringout with Gohan, resulting in Universe 6's erasure. Leaving only Universes 7 and 11 left. With Goku still unable to phase Jiren, Kame-Sennin gives him one last lesson when he dodges Jiren's attacks himself until the old martial arts master is eliminated. This allows Goku to reach Ultra Instinct, the ultimate technique that allows one to dodge attacks subconsciously, although it only lasts a moment. However, seeing Goku once again surpass him, Vegeta levels up achieving his own new form, but it is not enough to beat Jiren. Meanwhile, Freeza tricks Toppo and Dyspo, and when Jiren declines to help them, they are eliminated, leaving only Jiren left for Universe 11. In order to take out Jiren, Android 17 self-destructs, but while it has no effect on his opponent, Goku achieves Ultra Instinct again. | ||||

Having achieved true Ultra Instinct, Goku's hair turns silver and he seems to have the upper hand over Jiren. However, with no practice, Goku can not maintain the form and team's up with Vegeta to take Jiren on together. Vegeta is eliminated, and when it seems Goku is about to be as well, Freeza reappears and sacrifices himself to knock Goku and Jiren out of the ring. It is revealed that Android 17 faked self-destruction and hid, making him and Universe 7 the winners. Universe 11 is erased, but Android 17 uses his reward, a wish with the Super Dragon Balls, to have all of the erased Universes restored. Whis fully resurrects Freeza as per their agreement, and he returns to his own planet. Some time later, Goku and Vegeta try to stop Majin Boo from being kidnapped by a mysterious group, but are knocked out and abducted into space as well. The group turns out to be members of the Galactic Patrol, including Jaco, led by their number one agent, Merus. Merus reveals that Moro, a magical being who destroyed innumerous planets by absorbing their life energy, has escaped from Galactic Prison. 10 million years earlier, the Great Lord of Lords used up most of his god power to seal away Moro's magic. Although he was sentenced to death, no one was able to kill Moro, so he was given life in prison. The Galactic Patrol have sought out Majin Boo, as he absorbed the Great Lord of Lords 5 million years after Moro's arrest, hoping to extract the ability to seal Moro's magic again. With Boo asleep, Goku and Vegeta are inducted as temporary Galactic Patrol members and learn that Moro is on his way to the new planet Namek. Moro arrives on Namek seeking the Dragon Balls, which he learned of from his fellow prison escapee, a deserter of Freeza's army, but Goku and Vegeta arrive at the same time using the former's teleportation. Vegeta attacks Moro, curious about his magical abilities. | ||||
