"Dragon Ball Super" episode 78 recap
The episode starts off with info about the location where the tournament is scheduled to happen. It is called Nothing World. It is a place without space or time and the fighters can fight as hard as possible with zero casualties.
In "Dragon Ball Super" episode 78, it is revealed that the prize for the winning the Tournament of Power is nothing, but if any universe ends up in the losing side, then the Omni-King will blow up the universe.
In the beginning, the Omni-King wants Goku and Universe 7 to battle some other universe, as the future Omni-King did not get to see them battle.
It will be three fighters from Universe 7 vs. three from Universe 9 at the Omni-King's palace. Meanwhile, Kaioshin and Beerus are upset with Goku.
Beerus tells Goku that even if Goku is friends with the Omni-King, the latter will blow up Universe 7 if they lose.
Goku assures Beerus that he will get serious and win no matter what. Vegeta is in no mood to leave for the tournament due to Bulma's pregnancy.
Also, Vegeta questions the idea of taking Goten and Trunks. Goku takes his other son to the tournament. Goku tells Gohan about the Omni-King's rule, but asks him not to disclose the details to Videl and others. Gohan gets upset with Goku. Meanwhile, Videl is happy about Gohan participating in the tournament.
Satan tells Goku that he is willing to help him, but Goku tells him that he is looking for Majin Buu. Elsewhere, Beerus wonders about Satan's presence. Apparently, according to Satan, Buu will listen to only Satan.
Goku discloses to Beerus that only Gohan knows about the deadly rule. Beerus warns Satan to not say anything that will start fresh trouble for them.
The Universe 9 fighters arrive. The Great priest makes some spectator seats. Goku meets Champa after a long time and the chit-chat begins. The Great Priest asks them to be quiet.
The Great Priest goes on to explains the match being the proof of concept for the Tournament of Power. Goku calls the Omni-King, Zen Chan, and everybody freak out.
The current match has no rewards but Omni-King wants to make sure that universes take it seriously and he reveals that he will punish the losers.
From Universe 9, Basil is appointed the first fighter. Satan wakes up Buu using chocolate and later, Gohan and Satan tell him to play with the dog-looking creature.
Basil looks unimpressed as he ridicules Buu.
Next week on "Dragon Ball Super" episode 79, we will see Majin Buu vs. Kicker Basil.
