The Oracle Fish is summoned by Beerus when he is trying to remember the name of the warrior the Oracle Fish told him about thirty-nine years ago. At first, the Oracle couldn't remember, but Beerus told Whis to feed her twice a day instead of three unless she could remember, forcing her to remember since she seems to dislike the idea of being fed one time less than original. After thinking for a short moment, the Oracle Fish confirms the name as Super Saiyan God which Beerus is excited to hear.
