While Future Trunks is waiting for Bulma to finish the repairs on the Time Capsule, Goku heads off to King Kai's planet to train after Beerus and Whis refused while both being curious about the sense of familiarity from Goku Black's energy. Future Trunks then notices Mai and recognizes her as the past version of the Mai he knew, revealing how Future Mai was a leader of Earth's resistance movement who died fighting to protect the planet. He also mentions Black's ultimate goal is eliminating everything he considers an inferior being. Meanwhile, excited from facing Goku, Black seeks to fight him again to become more accustomed to his body.

Goku, Beerus, and Whis arrive on the Tenth Universe's World of the Kais (界王神界, Kaiōshin Kai) where they meet the resident Supreme Kai Gowasu (ゴワス) and his apprentice Zamasu (ザマス), who expresses a disdain for mortals. An excited Goku challenges Zamasu to a sparring match, the Kai objects until Gowasu allows it with Beerus advising him to not hold back. Zamasu is baffled at being outmatched against Goku while Beerus and Whis note the Kai's energy being similar to Goku Black's, with Zamasu having no recollection of meeting Goku, and that the Time Rings in Gowasu's possession are accounted for. Goku, Beerus, and Whis return to their universe, unaware their actions only strengthened Zamasu's ideology. On Earth, Krillin introduces Future Trunks to his family, with Android 18 teasing Trunks due to his history with her alternate future self.
