Goku and Vegeta are sparring in the gravity chamber of Capsule Corp. Their movements are beyond godly—Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego flicker in and out like light switches. They are bored. Even Beerus, watching from his planet with Whis, complains of indigestion from eating too many cosmic delicacies. “There’s no challenge left. The heat death of fun has arrived.” Whis smiles, but his staff twitches—a faint, guttural hum. For the first time in millions of years, Whis looks genuinely confused.
