Plot

Four years after the defeat of Majin Buu, peace has returned to Earth. Son Goku has settled down and now works as a radish farmer to support his family. His family and friends live peaceful lives.However, a new threat appears in the form of Beerus, the God of Destruction, who is considered to be the most terrifying being in Universe 7. After awakening from several years of slumber, Beerus is eager to fight the legendary warrior whom he had seen in a prophecy known as the Super Saiyan God (Sūpā Saiya-jin Goddo). To protect Earth, Goku transforms into the Super Saiyan God to fight Beerus. Despite losing, Goku's efforts appease the God of Destruction enough that he decides to spare the planet. This part of the series retells the events of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.

While Goku and Vegeta leave with Beerus and his aide Whis to train for a year, two remnants of Frieza's army arrive at Earth and use the Dragon Balls to revive him. Frieza gathers his forces and returns to enact his revenge on Goku and his friends. Despite getting strong enough to attain a new transformation, he is once again defeated by Goku. This part of the series retells the events of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'.

On a later occasion, Champa, Beerus' twin brother and the God of Destruction of Universe 6, convinces Beerus to hold a tournament between the best fighters from each god's universe for the possession of Earth. Goku and some of his friends join the tournament, which ends in a surprising victory for Beerus' team after the strongest fighters from each side, Goku and Universe 6's Hit, end up forfeiting. In the occasion, Goku meets and befriends Zenō, the king of all universes. He promises to bring him a friend to play with.

After the tournament is completed, Future Trunks reappears and brings news of a new and powerful enemy resembling Goku that is known as Goku Black. Goku and the others eventually discover that Goku Black is actually a Kaiō-shin from Universe 10 named Zamasu, who hijacked Goku's body from a different timeline as part of his plan to attain immortality and wipe out all mortals. In the end, Zamasu is erased along with the entire future timeline by Zenō from the future, who accompanies Goku back to his timeline. Goku fulfills his promise to Zenō by introducing him to his future self.

Some time after Future Trunks returns home, Zenō and Future Zenō hold a new tournament called the Tournament of Power (Chikara no Taikai). The multiverse tournament features teams of fighters from each universe by Goku's suggestion. However, it becomes a battle for survival when both kings declare that the universes defeated at the tournament will be erased. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, Android 17, Android 18, Piccolo, Tien, Master Roshi, and a temporarily revived Frieza join the tournament as representatives for Universe 7 to protect it. Despite the fact that Zenō and Future Zenō already have the intention to destroy the weaker universes, most of the fighters from the other universes who are unaware of it view Goku as a villain for suggesting to hold the tournament in the first place. Out of the twelve universes, only four (universe 1, 5, 8, and 12) are exempt from participating due to their inhabitants having an average mortal rank above 7.
