Leading the group of girls including Gokumi, Yuujin and his companions headed toward Universe 7.

Sensing their approach, Son Goku, standing up ahead, suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"Eh? Chi-Chi? Isn't that Chi-Chi?!"

"It really is! It's Chi-Chi from her younger days! Why is she here to participate in the tournament?"

"That must be Chi-Chi from another universe, not the one we know."

"And not just Chi-Chi—there are two Android 18s!"

Recognizing Chi-Chi, Android 18, and Dark Android 18 among Yuujin's group, Goku and the others were visibly shocked.

"Are you really Chi-Chi?"

Goku ran up to Chi-Chi and looked her over, clearly astonished.

"That's right. I'm Chi-Chi, daughter of the Ox-King," Chi-Chi replied calmly.

"It really is Chi-Chi!"

"Your energy is incredible. I never thought Chi-Chi could be this strong!"

Goku's admiration was genuine, but Chi-Chi's face immediately darkened.

What do you mean by 'never thought I could be this strong'? Why wouldn't I be? Watch your mouth!

With a cold huff, Chi-Chi lost interest in the conversation.

Completely oblivious to Chi-Chi's cold reaction, Goku continued marveling in surprise, while Yuujin silently chuckled. This really is the same Goku from the original series—such a single-celled organism.

"Hey, you guys—what's your business here?"

Beerus's voice rang out as he stepped forward cautiously, standing guard in front of Yuujin.

"You must be the God of Destruction of Universe 7, Lord Beerus. My name is Yuujin. My companions and I are contestants from Universe 13."

"Please don't worry—we come in peace. We just wanted to greet everyone from Universe 7," Yuujin said with a smile.

But upon hearing his introduction, Goku, Vegeta, and the others all had a noticeable reaction.

"Did you say your name is Yuujin?"

Goku jumped in front of Yuujin again, full of wonder.

Yuujin raised an eyebrow. Why are they reacting so strongly to my name? That's odd…

"That's right. My name is Yuujin. What about it?"

Upon confirmation, Goku's face lit up with excitement:

"We heard about you from Trunks and Gohan—Trunks from the future timeline, I mean! He said you were an incredibly powerful fighter."

"I didn't think we'd meet here! Let's have a match when the tournament starts!"

"Wait—Trunks ended up in your universe?"

Yuujin was surprised but also somewhat relieved.

"Yup! Back when I got that heart disease and nearly died, it was Trunks who brought me the medicine!"

Goku, ever simple-minded, recounted the whole event in detail like spilling beans from a bamboo tube. Yuujin finally understood what had happened.

After receiving help from Yuujin and the others that restored peace to his world, Trunks, following Yuujin's advice, had gone to Namek to find the Dragon Balls and resurrect Future Gohan. Afterwards, the two boarded the time machine to travel to the past.

However, the time travel didn't go as planned. Instead of arriving in Yuujin's Universe 13, they ended up in Universe 7—where Goku and the others lived!

From there, things progressed much like the original Dragon Ball story. Although both Trunks and Gohan were surprised, they decided not to leave without doing something meaningful.

They warned Goku and the others early about the Androids, gave him the future's special heart medicine, and together, they defeated Cell before he could reach his perfect form.

The group had fought and lived together for quite a while, and during that time, Goku and the others learned many things about Yuujin from Trunks.

Even Yuujin himself couldn't help but be surprised after hearing Goku's story.

I never expected that my actions would ripple out and affect the development of Universe 7, to the point where Goku and the others know who I am!

"Trunks mentioned that in your universe, there's a female version of me and Vegeta. Is that true?"

Curious, Goku asked again.

Smiling faintly, Yuujin motioned for Gokumi to step forward.

"Gokumi, go ahead and introduce yourself to Universe 7."

"Sure, sure!"

"I'm Gokumi—Son Gokumi. Nice to meet you all!"

"So cool! You really are the female version of me—you look just like me!"

Goku cried out in amazement, and even Piccolo and Tien couldn't help but gape in astonishment.

"Tien! Piccolo! You guys—look!"

"Yeah, I see her. She really is a female Goku."

"When Trunks told us before, I didn't quite believe it. But now... it's all true!"

No one doubted Gokumi's identity. She had clearly inherited many of Bardock's features, making her and Goku look almost like twin siblings.

The only difference was that Goku had a bulkier build, while Gokumi was more petite and feminine.

"Wow! Your energy is really strong too!"

"Do you like fighting? Let's have a match later!"

"Yeah, yeah! I love fighting!"

Back and forth they went, excited and in sync. Gokumi and Goku clearly had a great mutual interest in each other. Meanwhile, Krillin and Tien could only sigh again.

No doubt about it—she's the female Goku from another world. Even their personalities are exactly alike!

The atmosphere between Gokumi and Goku was great, but things on the other side were getting tense—

"You! Don't tell me you're that Vegeta?!"

Vegeta was glaring furiously at Vegea on Yuujin's side, his face dark with rage.

Even though he posed the question, Vegeta had already confirmed it.

The pride constantly radiating from her was identical to his own!

"What, got a problem with me?" Vegea replied with a cold smirk, her aura frosty.

She could tell the guy before her didn't like her—and frankly, she didn't like him either.

To both of them, the existence of the other was practically an insult.

"D-Don't... I can't hold it in anymore," someone muttered behind them.

"Krillin-san, I get how you feel, but hold it in, or Vegeta's going to blow up," another replied.

It really was hilarious. Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, and Gohan huddled together, their shoulders shaking as they struggled to hold back their laughter.

"Those guys...!"

Naturally noticing their reaction, Vegeta clenched his fists tight, utterly furious and humiliated.

Krillin and the others, at least, tried to be considerate—laughing quietly and holding it in. But Frieza? Frieza didn't care one bit—

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"A female Son Goku! A female Vegeta!"

"Universe 13—you're truly hilarious!"
