Summary

The long-coated swordsman is Trunks — and Vegito, weeping, thinks his lost son survived the gods (ep 0048 00:02:03–00:04:24). But this Trunks draws his sword: he is from another timeline, with his own parents, and serves the Time Patrol, sent because Vegito’s “forbidden time rings” have damaged countless timelines (ep 0048 00:04:24–00:06:27). He lists the harm: Gero used Vegito’s DNA to build a Cell that killed every Z fighter; the stolen senzu meant Gohan never needed Super Saiyan 2, leaving that world weaker against Buu; and Vegito’s explosion may have killed the Buu-saga Z fighters and Supreme Kai, dooming that universe (ep 0048 00:06:34–00:08:01). Shaken, Vegito asks whether, by Trunks’s rule that time must run its course, everyone should simply have died to the androids and to the gods — Trunks says yes, and Vegito refuses (ep 0048 00:08:13–00:11:01). When he calls the Blade of Destruction, an adult Goten — also Time Patrol — catches it (ep 0048 00:11:01–00:12:58). They answer to Chronoa, goddess of time; at the word “god” Vegito explodes with rage and calls his “sons” traitors (ep 0048 00:13:51–00:16:48). Trunks and Goten fuse into an adult Gotenks, who takes the blade and enters Gohan’s Beast form, learned from Piccolo (ep 0048 00:17:39–00:23:23). Gotenks reads out the Time Patrol’s arrest warrant; Vegito, with Black’s halo and scythe, cuts down his blade-slashes but takes a deep gash on the forehead from an ambush below ground — which his Buu flesh seals at once (ep 0048 00:24:39–00:35:47). In Super Saiyan 1 — “hardly… even 1%” of his power — Vegito punches Gotenks out of fusion-strength and takes the blade (ep 0048 00:36:45–00:39:33). Gotenks refuses to stop hunting him, so Vegito turns him into a chocolate bar with Buu’s beam, meaning to absorb his “sons” — but a silver-haired, masked samurai stamps the chocolate to pieces: Madara, second of the five strongest (ep 0048 00:41:02–00:44:50).

Key events

  • 00:02:35–00:02:59 Vegito recognises Trunks: “how did he survive the gods of destruction? Did Bulma somehow send him off”.
  • 00:03:16–00:03:37 Trunks (thinking): “I came just a few minutes too late… Chronoa’s warning must be true. This version of Vegito can erase someone completely from existence.”
  • 00:05:11–00:05:29 “I am Trunks, but I’m not your son. I’m from a completely different timeline… I’m from the Time Patrol.”
  • 00:06:13–00:06:23 “those forbidden time rings… We don’t even know for sure how many timelines you’ve affected by now.”
  • 00:06:34–00:06:59 Gero used Vegito’s data and DNA “to create a cell so strong, every Z fighter died”; that universe survived because Goku became “as powerful as a god”.
  • 00:07:08–00:07:28 The stolen senzu: Cell never got one, Gohan won without Super Saiyan 2; “that universe, has no knowledge of the second form” against Babidi, Dabura and Buu.
  • 00:07:39–00:08:01 “only a few hours ago, you killed one of the legendary five… just meters away, were the rest of the Z fighters. Including the Supreme Kai. It’s not even known whether they’re still alive.”
  • 00:08:43–00:08:57 Trunks: his own meddling led to Black and to Zeno erasing his universe.
  • 00:09:55–00:10:27 Vegito: should the Z fighters have died to the androids, and “when the 12 gods [?] of destruction eventually arrive… I should be letting that happen in every timeline?” — Trunks: “Yes.”
  • 00:10:49 “If stopping the deaths and erasure of my friends and family is considered wrong, then I don’t want to be right!”
  • 00:11:01–00:11:39 “Blade! Come to me!” — an older Goten [?] catches it: “This isn’t going anywhere, Dad.”
  • 00:12:30–00:12:58 Goten: from the Time Patrol and another timeline; “Those Time Rings, and you yourself, need to come back with us.”
  • 00:14:04–00:14:16 Trunks: “That would be Chronoa, goddess of time. She leads the time patrol”; they were chosen as “two of the strongest”.
  • 00:14:41–00:14:57 Vegito: “It was a god that sent you! My own sons! Slaves to these tyrants!”
  • 00:14:57–00:15:09 Goten: “not all gods are the same… Chronoa is not like that.”
  • 00:16:23–00:16:48 “These gods are all a danger to us. Ticking time bombs… you traitors will join them in death.”
  • 00:17:51–00:18:22 The Fusion Dance: an adult Gotenks.
  • 00:19:58–00:20:07 Gotenks takes up the Blade of Destruction to return it to Chronoa.
  • 00:20:47–00:21:08 Vegito expects Gohan’s “ultimate form… about as strong as a super saiyan blue”.
  • 00:22:31–00:23:10 White hair, red lightning: “This is elder brother Gohan’s strongest form. One he learned from his Master Piccolo… The Beast Form.”
  • 00:23:54–00:24:05 Vegito: Gohan reached it “in the future, with the green man”; Cabba called the same form his final form.
  • 00:24:39–00:24:51 “Vegito Universe 7, Timeline number 56378B. The Time Patrol orders your arrest, for the grievous tampering of the order of time, and the forbidden usage of time-distorting devices.”
  • 00:26:32–00:26:41 Vegito brings out the Zamasu halo and God Slayer Scythe.
  • 00:29:39–00:29:53 “You’re a shell of that blade’s true master! And Guts would be disgusted”.
  • 00:30:25 The scythe cuts every energy slash in half.
  • 00:32:28–00:34:09 Gotenks bursts from the ground; Vegito is left with a gash on his forehead, bleeding into “his one remaining white eye”.
  • 00:35:08–00:35:47 “the Majin Buu aspect of Vegito” seals the wound.
  • 00:36:45–00:36:58 Vegito goes Super Saiyan 1.
  • 00:38:03–00:38:38 One punch to the gut; Gotenks reverts to base form and drops the blade, which Vegito catches.
  • 00:39:12–00:39:23 “Becoming a super saiyan increases my base power by 50 times… I’ve hardly used even 1% of it.”
  • 00:39:43–00:40:48 He stops the blade at Gotenks’s neck and offers to spare him if they stop chasing him.
  • 00:41:11–00:41:29 Gotenks: “Goku and Vegeta. You’d think they’d ever give up?… if you want to stop me, you better kill me.”
  • 00:42:03–00:42:27 A pink beam from Vegito’s fingertip — Majin Buu’s “dessert beam” — turns Gotenks into a chocolate bar.
  • 00:42:43–00:43:01 “You two are my sons, in this timeline and the next… you will just have to… become part of me, once again.”
  • 00:43:33 A foot slams down and shatters the chocolate bar.
  • 00:43:57–00:44:50 A masked man in samurai armour with long silver hair: “Are you truly about to eat your own son?… Madara, the second of the five strongest.”

Uncertainties

  • Whether Gotenks died is not stated: Madara crushes the chocolate bar he had become (00:43:33). Whether Trunks and Goten can be restored isn’t said.
  • “the 12 pods of destruction” (00:10:15) is taken as “the 12 gods of destruction” [?].
  • Trunks calls himself “not your son” (00:05:11), yet Vegito keeps calling both “my sons”; they are the Trunks and Goten of other timelines.
  • Vegito reacts as if he has never heard of the Time Patrol (00:05:44), though Guts named it to him (ep 0046 00:04:13) — logged in retcons.
  • Trunks’s “that universe” (00:07:28) seems to tie the Cell-saga past (ep 0041) to Babidi’s arrival “years later”; whether the Buu-saga timeline of eps 0043–0047 is the same universe isn’t said.
