Saiyans and Cerealian

Arrival on Cereal

After eighteen days aboard the Heeters' ship, Goku and Vegeta touch down on Planet Cereal. Macki directs them toward Granolah, but neither Saiyan senses any strong ki. They head out while Oil secretly follows. Macki stays behind to await Elec and Gas. Elec notes the Heeters have not visited Cereal in forty years, and Gas mutters that his memories here are bad ones.

The Sniper's Assault

Precise blasts rain down from a distant forest. Vegeta goes Super Saiyan for better reaction speed while Goku activates Ultra Instinct. They trace the shots to an empty clearing, only for the barrage to resume from multiple angles. A blast strikes the back of Goku's neck, hitting a pressure point and knocking him out cold. Vegeta gives him a Senzu Bean and scolds his reliance on imperfect Ultra Instinct. Both go Super Saiyan and fire toward the sniper's position, forcing Granolah into the open. He vanishes and reappears behind them faster than Instant Transmission, then reveals his Cerealian heritage and hatred for Saiyans. He carves a massive crater with a technique resembling Hakai.

Escalation and Suspicion

Goku suggests fighting as a team, but Vegeta insists Goku go first. Goku layers Ultra Instinct over Super Saiyan God, and Vegeta observes the combination improving accuracy. Granolah still lands a pressure-point strike that drops Goku from his God state, explaining that his wish-enhanced right eye reads blood flow to find every weakness. While Goku staggers, Vegeta explores the ancient ruins. Granolah demands Goku's full power, and Goku pushes to Super Saiyan Blue as tremors alarm the Sugarian settlers. In the ruins, Vegeta finds a massive Great Ape footprint, confirming that Saiyans once invaded this world and casting doubt on everything the Heeters told them.
