Hyper-Meta Rilldo reveals his most terrifying ability: he can control every piece of metal on Planet M-2 as a weapon. Goku fights at full Super Saiyan power but finds himself trapped by metallic trees, buildings, and terrain that bend to Rilldo's will. Meanwhile, Pan repeatedly infiltrates a fortress to confront the traitorous Giru.
Goku and Hyper-Meta Rilldo begin their second round, and Rilldo immediately demonstrates a power that changes the entire dynamic of the fight. He can transform any solid matter around him into metal and control it at will. The ground, the trees, the buildings: everything on Planet M-2 becomes an extension of Rilldo's body.
Goku launches a Kamehameha, but metallic trees surge up from the ground, wrapping around his arms and forcing him to drop the blast. Rilldo descends into the metal surface of the planet itself, moving through it like water, striking from unexpected angles while Goku struggles to find his opponent.
At the fortress, Pan refuses to abandon her pursuit of Giru. She charges into the building repeatedly, only to be expelled each time by the Corrosive Removal System, a defense mechanism that liquefies the walls and floor to flush out intruders. Pan destroys every robot guard sent to stop her and keeps coming back.
Inside, she encounters a scholar robot who offers to help deactivate the defense system in exchange for her protection. The unlikely alliance gives Pan another chance to reach Giru, but when the little robot realizes he is cornered, he escapes through a wall and returns with reinforcements who reactivate the backup defense system.
Ejected from the building once more, Pan notices something strange at her feet: the three stolen Black Star Dragon Balls and Giru's military medal have followed her out. She cannot explain how or why they appeared, but she clutches them tightly.
On the battlefield, Rilldo emerges from the planet's surface coated entirely in silver metal, his body fused with M-2 itself. He delivers a chilling declaration: the only way to destroy him is to destroy every piece of metal on the entire planet. With Dr. Myuu watching eagerly and Trunks still frozen in a distant lab, Goku pours everything he has into the fight as a Super Saiyan, but the odds grow more desperate by the minute.
