With Majin Buu defeated, Goku has taken a completely new role as...a radish farmer?! With Earth at peace, our heroes have settled into normal lives. But they can’t get too comfortable. Far away, the powerful God of Destruction, Beerus, awakens to a prophecy revealing his demise at the hands of an even more formidable being. When his search for the Saiyan God brings him to Earth, can Goku and his friends take on their strongest foe yet?
Dragon Ball Super recap
Dragon Ball Super takes place after the defeat of Kid Buu. It first retells Battle of Gods and Resurrection F, as Beerus spares Earth and a revived Frieza is beaten, and Goku and Vegeta start training with Whis. In the Universe 6 arc, Beerus's brother Champa, God of Destruction of a twin universe, holds a tournament against Universe 7, and Goku and Vegeta fight Hit, an assassin who can skip time. In the Future Trunks arc, Trunks comes back from his future, which is being destroyed by Goku Black, an evil god in Goku's body; Black is Zamasu, a Kai apprentice, and he merges with a future Zamasu. Zeno, the King of All, erases that timeline. In the Universal Survival arc, Zeno holds the Tournament of Power, in which eight universes fight and every loser is erased. Goku recruits Frieza and Android 17, and he reaches a new state, Ultra Instinct, against the mighty Jiren of Universe 11.
