Goku throws everything at Moro but the strain of Ultra Instinct Sign proves too great. He collapses, drained and defeated. Androids 17 and 18 buy seconds thanks to their artificial energy, but Moro is far beyond them. On Yardrat, Vegeta crams Instant Transmission into a single frantic session, then teleports himself to Earth, revealing he has mastered something far superior.
Goku and Moro pour out so much energy that their auras collide. Goku wins the initial clash and presses forward with punches, kicks, and ki blasts. The two prove evenly matched overall. After being knocked down, Moro declares that if this is Goku's ceiling, he has nothing to fear. On Beerus' Planet, Merus worries about stamina drain. Whis counters that holding back would have left Goku unable to trade blows at all.
Pybara congratulates Vegeta for mastering his new technique in record time. Vegeta asks to be teleported to Earth, but Yardrat law forbids off-world teleportation, and Pybara cannot lock on to Goku's energy because Ultra Instinct masks it from mortal senses. Vegeta demands to learn Instant Transmission, boasting he will pick it up faster than anyone.
Fatigue devours Goku. Moro states plainly that his limit has arrived. Goku pushes Ultra Instinct Sign one more time, but Moro dismantles him with little effort. As Goku reverts to base form, Moro drains his life force. Androids 17 and 18 intervene; their artificial energy cannot be absorbed, so Moro overpowers them physically. Piccolo warns Gohan not to jump in, as it would only feed Moro more energy.
On Yardrat, Vegeta tries Instant Transmission and ends up in a garbage can. When Pybara detects Goku's energy again, both realize he lost. Pybara offers to break the Yardrat rule, but Vegeta refuses. He thanks Pybara and Hatska, executes the technique, and arrives on Earth. Goku is stunned, but Vegeta waves it off, saying he obtained something far superior. Transforming into Super Saiyan God SS Evolved, he charges straight at Moro.
