![]() The idea that there are other Rooms of Spirit and Time elsewhere in the universe is pretty cool - like, why do they exist? Are they artifacts of some ancient, galaxy-spanning civilization? It's the sort of world-building you don't see all that often in DRAGON BALL. Sure enough, in Merus, Goku sees the possibility of moving closer to a mastery of autonomous ultra instinct, so the pair begins training together on another planet, where Merus reveals a Room of Spirit and Time to Goku and says that inside, he will unleash his full power to train our hero. While Moro and his men travel the galaxy, with teams of convicts dispatched as scouts to find planets for Moro to devour (thus restoring Moro at last to his full strength), Goku and Vegeta start training.Īt Galactic Patrol headquarters, Boo has reverted to himself and fallen asleep, so Goku takes Merus's measure, believing there's more to the elite patrolman than meets the eye. In general, this is one of my favorite parts of any DB storyline (the filler episodes just before the Cell Games, where Goku goes around in his bomber jacket collecting the Dragon Balls, are pretty much my all-time favorite non-canon DBZ installments), and what we have here is no exception. But Vegeta spurns Goku's assistance to leave, and instead flies aboard Merus's and Jaco's ship, ordering the pilot to set course for planet Yardrat.Īt this point the story goes into that staple of most DRAGON BALL sagas, what you might call "downtime mode" - the part where our heroes lick their wounds, regroup, and train to better themselves for their next encounter with the enemy. Kaioshin transports himself and the sole surviving Namekian child to Galactic Patrol HQ, while Goku does the same for himself, Jaco, and Merus. ![]() Merus and Jaco step in to help, but the heroes are outnumbered. At the same time, Moro begins draining Goku's and Vegeta's energies, reducing them both to their base forms. Goku and Vegeta arrive a split second later thanks to Goku's own use of that power, and the two brag that they're about to finish Moro - which is when he reveals the third wish he made to the dragon Porunga: that all the inmates at the Galactic Prison would go free.įollowing a brief flashback to the moment Moro made his wish, which shows the prisoners exiting their cells and stealing a ship, we jump back to the present as they arrive on Namek and attack. He's weaker than Moro, and, as he discovers during their skirmish, hig "god power" is gone - taken by the evil Kid Boo when Majin Boo split into his good and evil halves during the climax of the original DBZ era.īut Merus comes to the rescue in his spacesuit, saving Kaioshin-Boo and distracting Moro long enough for Boo to transport Moro back to Namek with the instant transmission technique. And while the Kaioshin-Boo puts up a decent showing, he isn't enough. ![]() But since Saiyans can't survive in the vacuum (a fact firmly established during the Freeza Saga, if it didn't already go without saying), it is the Kaioshin in Boo's body who challenges Moro in orbit over Namek. The next installment of DRAGON BALL SUPER opens with something I don't believe had ever been seen in the DB/Z saga up to this point - a battle in outer space.
