Fu plants the Universe Tree, a parasitic growth that drains energy from entire planets to birth a new universe. The twelve Gods of Destruction converge on Universe 7, while Goku and Vegeta battle resurrected movie villains Turles and Bojack. In Hell, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta clash with the analytical Dr. W in this Super Dragon Ball Heroes saga.
The Universe Creation Saga opens in the aftermath of Hearts' defeat. The Universe Seed, the weapon Hearts wielded against the gods, was never truly destroyed. Instead, it has begun growing into the Universe Tree, a colossal parasitic organism whose roots reach across dimensions to drain the life force from planets. Behind this escalation stands Fu, the Demon Realm scientist whose experiments have been manipulating events from behind the scenes since the Prison Planet Saga.
At Capsule Corporation, Goku and his allies notice a mysterious bird, Tokitoki, which Xeno Trunks and Xeno Pan have been searching for on behalf of the Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa. Before anyone can make sense of the situation, all twelve Gods of Destruction materialize overhead. Beerus charges an Energy of Destruction blast at Tokitoki, believing a prophecy that this bird will destroy all universes. Tokitoki defuses the attack with a single flap of his wings, and the confrontation escalates into a battle between the Z Fighters and Beerus himself.
Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta arrive to halt the fighting, directing everyone's attention to the Universe Tree's roots wrapping around distant planets and reducing them to dust. The Gods of Destruction recognize the greater threat and return to protect their own universes. Fu appears with the true target of the prophecy, Dogidogi, a bird capable of freezing fighters in place, and reveals that the Universe Seed was always his tool. Hearts was merely a pawn in Fu's grander design to create an entirely new universe by harvesting the energy of all existing ones.
Fu recruits an army of resurrected antagonists, including Turles, Bojack, Super 17, Meta-Cooler, and the mysterious Dr. W. Goku and Vegeta find themselves battling Turles and Bojack at Super Saiyan Blue while Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta face Dr. W in Hell. The analytical android studies every attack thrown at him, absorbing data from Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 4 transformations before declaring his analysis complete and vanishing. Meanwhile, Fu uses Dogidogi to freeze the heroes and captures Tokitoki, setting the stage for the saga's most dangerous phase.
The Universe Creation Saga excels at recycling familiar villains in fresh contexts. Turles and Bojack, originally confined to non-canonical films, receive power boosts and genuine narrative purpose as Fu's enforcers. Their battles against Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta provide the energy that feeds the Universe Tree, meaning every punch thrown in combat actively advances the villain's plan.
Dr. W is the saga's most intriguing addition. His ability to analyze and counter any technique he observes makes him a strategic threat rather than a raw power threat. His confrontation with Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta in Hell becomes a data-gathering mission rather than a genuine fight, and the implications of his completed analysis carry forward into subsequent arcs.
The twelve Gods of Destruction arriving simultaneously at Capsule Corporation remains one of the most visually striking moments in the Heroes anime. The sheer concentration of divine power in a single location creates a tension that the saga deliberately refuses to resolve through combat, instead redirecting the conflict toward the more pressing threat of the Universe Tree.
The Universe Creation Saga establishes Fu as the central antagonist of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes franchise. Unlike Hearts, who fought for a cause, Fu treats the multiverse as his personal laboratory. He creates crises to observe how warriors respond, harvests the energy from their battles, and pushes toward a singular goal: the birth of a universe he alone designs. His detached enthusiasm makes him unsettling in ways that brute-force villains cannot match.
Within the broader Heroes continuity, this saga bridges the Universe Mission and Big Bang Mission eras. It introduces the Universe Tree as a threat that persists across multiple arcs and establishes the alliance between the main timeline Z Fighters and the Time Patrol as a permanent feature of the story. For fans invested in the expanded Dragon Ball universe, it delivers the cross-dimensional team-ups and villain callbacks that define the Heroes experience.
