Ever since Goku became Earth's greatest hero and gathered the seven Dragon Balls to defeat the evil Boo, his life on Earth has grown a little dull. But new threats loom overhead, and Goku and his friends will have to defend the planet once again in this continuation of Akira Toriyama's best-selling series, "Dragon Ball Super"![1]
Son Gohan's Ultimate Awakening!
Cell Max is unleashed, and the only ones there to fight the ultimate android are Gohan, Piccolo, and Dr. Hedo's hero androids Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. The four of them are quickly overpowered by the formidable Cell Max, but they refuse to give up. Piccolo unleashes the power Shenlong granted him and becomes a giant monster that rivals Cell Max in size and strength. And with his daughter's life on the line, Gohan, in his fury, unlocks a new transformation, one that may be even stronger than his own father's Ultra Instinct.[2]
Story Thus Far[]
A long, long time ago, Son Goku left on a journey in search of the legendary Dragon Balls-a set of seven balls that would summon the dragon Shenlong who can grant any wish. After his great adventure, he collected them all. Later, he became the apprentice of Kame-Sen'nin, fought a number of vicious enemies defeated the great Majin Boo, and restored peace on earth. Some time has passed, and after Goku achieves Ultra Instinct, he continues training on Beerus's planet along with Vegeta, Broly, and Broly's companions. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Piccolo is hoping to foil the revived Red Ribbon Army's plot for world domination. First, he asks Shenlong to unlock his latent potential and then he engineers a fake kidnapping of Pan in order to force Son Gohan to awaken to his own power. Gohan takes the bait and ends up joining with Piccolo to battle Gammas #1 and #2, who are brought down by Piccolo's new orange form. However, Commander Magenta manages to activate Cell Max, which seem to spell doom for all!! Now, the fighters have got reinforcements in the form of Saiyaman X-1 and X-2!![2]
