Don't You Disgrace Saiyan Cells! Vegeta's Fierce Battle Commences!

Vegeta explodes out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber after six months of brutal training, destroying the chamber itself and leaving a massive crater in the Lookout. Goku, meanwhile, picks up the urn and talisman from Master Roshi. With the Time Machine fueled and ready, Goku, Vegeta, and Bulma depart for the future one final time.

In the alternate timeline, Future Trunks has been fighting alone. Future Mai discovers Goku Black's hideout and attempts to snipe him with a special energy bullet left behind by Future Bulma. The shot lands but does no real damage, and Goku Black and Future Zamasu target her position. Future Trunks arrives just in time to save Mai and the soldiers accompanying her. He engages both villains as Super Saiyan Rage, using his sword as a decoy to land devastating blows on Goku Black and blasting him with a Super Galick Gun. But before he can finish, Goku Black recovers and stabs him from behind.

The Time Machine arrives with the reinforcements. However, Goku Black immediately destroys the Time Machine, trapping the heroes in the future. Vegeta is unfazed. He tells the villains this world will be their grave and refers to the urn as their coffin. But when Goku checks for the urn, he realizes it was stored inside the now-destroyed Time Machine. Bulma quietly begins salvaging the wreckage while the Saiyans prepare to fight. Gowasu and Shin also arrive via Time Ring, and Vegeta takes on Goku Black personally. Empowered by his training, Vegeta dominates every exchange, grabbing Goku Black by the hair and slamming him down, declaring that a fake has no right to wear a body built through real Saiyan battle.

Vegeta's fury is deeply personal. Goku Black did not merely steal a body; he stole the product of a lifetime of training, loss, and growth that Vegeta witnessed firsthand. When Vegeta calls Goku Black a fake, he is defending not just Goku but the entire concept that power must be earned through struggle. His dominance in this fight is one of the most satisfying moments in the saga, proving that targeted preparation and emotional conviction can close even massive power gaps. The destruction of the Time Machine raises the stakes to their absolute peak, as the heroes can no longer retreat.

By destroying the Time Machine, Goku Black eliminates the heroes' escape route, turning the alternate timeline into a one-way trip. Every decision from this point carries permanent consequences. Goku's accidental loss of the urn adds pressure, though Bulma's resourcefulness in quietly repairing the machine provides a thin lifeline. The arrival of Gowasu and Shin adds moral weight to the conflict. Gowasu confronts the consequences of his own failure as a mentor, while the revelation that all future-timeline gods are permanently dead underscores the totality of Zamasu's plan.
