Elec, the leader of the Heeters, was secretly plotting to conquer the universe, but when he found out about Granolah's miraculous increase in strength, he knew that the Cerealian posed a threat to his plans, much like the Saiyans who had defeated Moro, Goku and Vegeta. So Elec conjured up a sinister scheme to exploit Granolah's hatred of Saiyans to trick him into fighting the two, and with any luck, they would destroy each other without him having to lift a finger.

All according to Elec's plot, a fight broke out between Granolah, Goku, and Vegeta when the Saiyans came to Planet Cereal. At first, Granolah seemed to be in full control of the battle thanks to his ability to see his opponent's weak spots and exploit them with pinpoint attacks, but that wouldn't work forever! Soon, the Saiyans turned the tables on Granolah—Goku with his refined Ultra Instinct, and Vegeta with his new power attained through training with Lord Beerus, "Ultra Ego"!

As the battle between the three of them unfolded, Monaito appeared to intervene and stop Granolah. The elderly Namekian then explained that Granolah's quest for vengeance had all been based on a falsehood.

As it turns out, the ones responsible for the destruction of Planet Cereal were the Heeters themselves, and it was Goku's father, Bardock, who had saved a young Granolah back then!

Now that Granolah had learned the truth, the Heeters appeared to execute their plan in person! And to make sure the job got done, Elec used the Cerealian Dragon Balls to turn his brother, Gas, into the new strongest warrior in the universe! This led to a battle to see who was truly the universe's strongest warrior: Gas or Granolah!

Through their back and forth, Granolah seemed to gain the upper hand. Surveying the battle and determining his brother might lose, Elec decided to turn the tables back in their favor by removing the limiter that Gas wears to keep his primal instincts in check! With his unfettered power unleashed, Gas lost control of himself and went on a wild rampage, attacking friend and foe alike!

However, Elec stepped in once more to remind his rampaging brother of a promise he made forty years prior, allowing Gas to regain his composure. With his full power intact and now under his own control, Gas had become the true strongest warrior in the universe!

Granolah sustained a critical injury at the hands of the newly awakened Gas. However, Goku stepped in to intervene after receiving the last of Vegeta's energy.

Goku managed to create just enough of an opening to pull off his signature Teleportation technique, taking their fight across multiple planets before leaving Gas on a distant world and transporting himself back to Planet Cereal! Goku then took the severely injured Granolah and retreated to Monaito's house.

There, Monaito handed Goku something unexpected: the Scouter his father Bardock had left behind forty years ago! Using the Scouter, they were able to access an audio log of the battle his father fought against Gas!

Four decades ago, Bardock had challenged the Heeter in order to protect a young Granolah and Monaito! Despite fighting his hardest, Bardock was slowly overwhelmed by the true unleashed power of his opponent.

Gas, who has been following Goku across the universe this whole time, finally catches up.
And after much self-reflection, Goku and Vegeta are able to focus on their desire to win and unleash their true power, transforming into Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego!

An explosive battle between Gas and the two Saiyans is about to erupt on Planet Cereal once more!!
