Plot: Goku is seen working as a farmer four years after defeating Majin Buu, and his family and friends are portrayed leading peaceful lives. But Beerus, the God of Destruction, awakens after a long period of sleep. Beerus is looking for a combatant known as the Super Saiyan God with the assistance of Whis, his Angel assistant and mentor. Beerus has vowed to end all life on Earth if this adversary defeats him. With the help of his comrades, Goku rises to the level of the Super Saiyan God, battles Beerus, and finally loses; nonetheless, Beerus is placated by Goku’s acts and spares the Earth.
Then, as Goku and Vegeta are receiving instruction from Whis, the last of Frieza’s army gathers the Dragon Balls in order to resurrect Frieza. After completing his training, Frieza returns to Earth to exact his retribution there. Even though Golden Frieza has attained the Golden Frieza metamorphosis, Goku and Vegeta, who have both perfected the Super Saiyan Blue transformation, are still able to defeat him. Out of retaliation, Frieza tries to end the world, but Whis is able to reverse time so that Goku can beat Frieza.
Beerus agrees to arrange a competition that puts the best warriors from each of their planets against one another when Champa, his brother and Universe Six’s God of Destruction, persuades him to do so. The Super Dragon Balls, which are planet-sized and can nearly grant any desire, will be given to the tournament winner as their prize. Champa intends to trade Universe Six’s barren planet for Universe Seven’s so that people may enjoy their cuisine. Goku and his friends made the decision to participate in the competition. The most crucial match in the competition is regarded as being between Goku and Hit. Goku forfeits the fight since he is unable to match Hit’s strength. When Hit withdraws from the championship match, Universe Seven wins. Beerus has a strong desire for the Super Dragon Balls to revive the planet Earth in Universe Six.
Lord Zen, the king of all planets, strikes up a chat with Goku and befriends him. Goku also promises to bring Lord Zen a companion. After some time has passed, Future Trunks shows up, bringing with him word of an enemy known as Goku Black, who resembles Goku. They arrive to the conclusion that Zamasu, an apprentice of the Supreme Kai from Universe Ten, is indeed Goku Black. Using the Super Dragon Balls, Zamasu abducted Goku’s body from a prior reality in order to complete his plan to wipe out all humans. [6] In the end, Future Zen assists Goku in getting back to the present, where he befriends Present Zen. As a result, Zamasu and the future timeline vanish from existence. Trunks of the Future departs for a different timeline.
Both Zens will hold the Tournament of Power when a period of time has passed. Teams of combatants from eight of the twelve worlds compete in this tournament, and the losing universes are obliterated.
Goku, his friends, Android 17, and the briefly revived Frieza all decide to take part in the contest. They fight with ferocious fighters like Jiren, who is from Universe Eleven. Goku develops into a new form called Ultra Instinct, which allows him to engage in combat without using his conscious mind. After Goku and Frieza eliminated Jiren and themselves from the competition, Android 17 was declared the winner for Universe 7. He is given one wish from the Super Dragon Balls, which he utilizes to revive the destroyed worlds. For good, Frieza has been revived.
