Whis appeared in the center of the ring, staff glowing softly. His smile was serene, but his voice carried effortlessly across every timeline's platform.
"Marvelous… simply marvelous."
He twirled the staff once, and above him, a vast projection of light unfolded — the entire sky shimmering into a holographic grid of golden energy. The crowd's chatter died at once. The Grand Priest inclined his head slightly, giving Whis the floor.
"Now then," Whis continued, "after so many magnificent displays of strength, cunning, and—" he paused, glancing toward the exhausted fighters, "—occasional recklessness, the second phase of the Tournament of Timelines has reached its end."
Here's the official recap and results of every match that happened after Match 30 (the end of the previous phase), including Round 2 of the Tournament of Timelines.
Match 31: Future Gohan (T1) vs Yajirobe (T9)
Winner: Future Gohan (T1)Summary:A short and respectful match. Gohan calmly caught Yajirobe's blade mid-swing and ended the fight with a single flick to the forehead. Yajirobe was knocked into the barrier, nearly unconscious but alive. Future Gohan advanced without a scratch — his composure absolute.
Match 32: Vegito (T2) vs King Vegeta (T5)
Winner: Vegito (T2)Summary:King Vegeta's pride met Vegito's indifference. Despite transforming into Super Saiyan 3, the King couldn't even touch Vegito. Vegito deflected, dodged, and finally ended the match with a light tap to the neck — no transformation needed. His focus remained elsewhere… still searching for Gohan (T2).
Match 33: Baby Vegito Black (T6) vs Krillin (T9)
Winner: Baby Vegito Black (T6)**Summary:Krillin used Kaioken x100 and unleashed a full-power Kamehameha — to no avail. Baby Vegito Black split the beam in half with a single ki blade, ending the fight before it truly began. Krillin wisely surrendered.Reaction: Most timelines agreed he did the smart thing.
Match 34: Gast (T7) vs Piccolo (T1)
Winner: Gast (T7)**Summary:A battle of wits and evolution. Piccolo's new "beyond-super" Namekian form impressed even the angels, but Gast's growth outpaced him. The fight ended with Piccolo collapsing unconscious after pushing his own body too far. Gast advanced, calm and respectful, acknowledging Piccolo's genius.
Match 35: Future Trunks (T1) vs Ruthless Kakarot (T5)
Winner: Future Trunks (T1)**Summary:A fight over before it began. Trunks went straight into Perfect Super Saiyan 2, landing a single nuclear-speed punch that obliterated Kakarot's stance and consciousness. The entire Saiyan Empire timeline sat in stunned disbelief.
Match 36: Uub (T1) vs Taizo (T10)
Winner: Uub (T1)**Summary:One of the strangest and most unpredictable matches. Taizo revealed his Evil Super Saiyan and Evil Super Saiyan 2 forms, closing the power gap with bursts of chaotic energy. Yet Uub's pure, refined control eventually overwhelmed him.Aftermath: Timeline 10 erupted in anger and humiliation as their "Evil Saiyan" was crushed.
Match 37: Rosan (T5) vs Krillin (T2)
Winner: Rosan (T5)**Summary:An explosive display of violence. Krillin pushed Kaioken to its limits, but Rosan's overwhelming brutality in Super Saiyan 3 left him battered and bloodied. Before Rosan could kill him, Krillin forfeited with a smirk. Rosan advanced — a beast barely held in check.
Match 38: Present Gohan (T1) vs Tapion (T12)
Winner: Present Gohan (T1)**Summary:A quiet, respectful duel. Tapion's swordsmanship was brilliant, but Gohan never needed to transform. His calm power and effortless defense told the story. A single punch to the chest ended the fight cleanly.Aftermath: All members of Timeline 12 were officially eliminated from the tournament.
Match 39: Vegeta (T1) vs Broly (T4)
Winner: Broly (T4)**Summary:The most devastating match of the phase.Vegeta revealed a mysterious red-haired transformation — Super Saiyan God, a form none had seen clearly before. Despite achieving godlike speed and precision, Broly adapted again, ascending into Legendary Super Saiyan 3.The final clash of both warriors' Final Flash variants tore through the arena's barrier. Both fell unconscious, but Broly hit the ground a second later — giving him the victory.
Match 40: Goku (T1) vs Kami (T7)
Winner: Goku (T1)**Summary:A fight of respect and history. Kami gave his all, but Goku, using only Super Saiyan, ended it gracefully with a knockout instead of lethal force. He bowed afterward — honoring the bond they once shared in every timeline.
Match 41: Bardock (T5) vs Tien (T9)
Winner: Bardock (T5)**Summary:A raw, close contest of technique versus instinct. Tien unleashed Kaioken x200, breaking his own limits — but Bardock's Super Saiyan 3 Full Power proved too much. Tien fell unconscious, yet earned respect across timelines for forcing Bardock to actually defend himself.
Match 42: Ruthless Vegeta (T5) vs Android 19 (T3)
Winner: Ruthless Vegeta (T5)**Summary:Dr. Gero intentionally withheld the adaptive data protocol after the failure of his previous androids. Android 19 was powerful but predictable. Vegeta dismantled him with surgical brutality.Aftermath: Gero's focus visibly shifted elsewhere — his attention now clearly fixated on Android 21.
Match 43: Android 20 (T3) vs Slug (T7)
Winner: Slug (T7)**Summary:A short but unexpectedly fierce battle. Android 20 underestimated Slug's tactical mastery. The ancient Namekian used his regeneration and elastic reach to crush 20's core.Aftermath: Dr. Gero lost another android… but smiled. "All data transferred," he muttered quietly.
Match 44: Uub (T2) vs Krillin (T9)
Winner: Uub (T2)**Summary:A respectful mirror match. Krillin pushed himself hard — Kaioken 80x — but Uub (T2) was leagues beyond. The older fighter still smiled as he fell.Aftermath: Uub (T2) bowed to him, promising to carry the legacy of the humans with pride.
Match 45: Roshi Prime (T9) vs Rosan (T5)
Winner: Rosan (T5)**Summary:A battle between generations. Roshi Prime showed absurd mastery of Kaioken x150, matching a Super Saiyan 3 for minutes. Yet Rosan's raw ferocity overwhelmed him. Before being struck down, Roshi made a joke — tricking Rosan long enough to forfeit with honor.Aftermath: Rosan stood proud but shaken — the old master had taught him something.
The staff pulsed, and the glowing grid shifted into a massive bracket, each line of light forming crystalline names and icons for every remaining fighter.

--
The celestial screens dimmed once more, their golden light flickering as Daishinkan raised his hand.The quarterfinal bracket shimmered in midair — but one particular matchup caused an immediate stir:
Bardock (T5) 🆚 Ruthless Vegeta (T5)
Murmurs rippled across the stands.From the benches of several timelines, warriors leaned forward, disbelief in their eyes.
Goku (T1) blinked, scratching the back of his head.
"Wait… aren't they from the same timeline? Isn't that against the rules?"
Bulma (T1) adjusted her scouter.
"That was literally one of the first restrictions they set… No inter-timeline fights. What's going on?"
Even Vegito (T2) frowned.
"The Grand Priest doesn't accidentally make mistakes like that."
Across the arena, the Saiyan Empire's bench erupted into argument.King Vegeta slammed his fist into his throne's armrest.
"Impossible! I demand explanation! They are both my warriors—my lineage!"
Bardock smirked, tilting his head slightly toward his monarch.
"Maybe that's the point."
Daishinkan raised a single finger, and silence fell instantly.The floating bracket froze midair as the Grand Priest's calm, echoing voice filled the space.
"Your observation is correct. The laws of this tournament forbid combat between warriors of the same timeline."
He paused — every being in the arena leaned forward.
"However…"
His tone shifted, deeper now — not menacing, but almost curious, like a scholar testing a theory.
"There are exceptions when a timeline holds two forces of equal origin whose coexistence defines that universe's balance."
The spectators exchanged glances — what did that mean?
Daishinkan remained quiet.
Them-
Whis tapped the base of his staff gently."These are the warriors who have proven themselves in combat across realities. Some through sheer power…" — his eyes drifted to Broly — "…others through skill, composure, or intelligence."
He smiled, voice softening but carrying through the air."You will have thirty minutes of rest. When we return… only the truly exceptional will remain."
The bracket flickered above the arena, glowing with the faint pulse of each fighter's life energy — a reminder that these were no longer mortals or legends.They were the final champions of their timelines.
From the benches
Timeline 1, in particular, stared at the board with a mix of awe and nerves.Future Gohan, standing at the back, crossed his arms quietly. "I see… so I'm the one who rests this round."Piccolo smirked. "You've earned it. You'll need that energy later."
Meanwhile, Goku cracked his knuckles, grinning toward the glowing "Broly" written beside his name. "Heh. Guess I'm up against that monster next, huh?"Bulma paled. "Goku, please don't destroy half the arena again."
Across the void, Timeline 5's Saiyan Empire bench buzzed with intensity — Bardock smirking at his own matchup. "A fight with myself, huh? Let's see which of us is the real King's blood."Ruthless Vegeta simply crossed his arms, his aura flickering faintly. "You already know the answer."
And near the front, Vegito (T2) cracked his neck, gazing at his opponent's name glowing opposite his own: Rosan (T5)."Looks like I'm first. Good," he muttered. "Let's set the tone."
Whis smiled faintly, tapping his staff once more."Then it's settled. Quarterfinals… will begin shortly."
The golden bracket shimmered overhead, radiant and alive — each name a promise of chaos, honor, and pride to come.
Them another screen apeared.
Timeline 5 — The Saiyan Empire Never Fell
In this timeline, the destruction of Planet Vegeta never came. Beerus never ordered its annihilation; Frieza never carried it out. Instead, the Saiyans thrived — but not through peace. They survived by submission, by cunning, and by adapting to the galaxy's hierarchy rather than defying it.
King Vegeta, proud yet pragmatic, swore allegiance to the Frieza Empire. He convinced his warriors that obedience was the surest path to strength — that by mastering conquest under Frieza's rule, they could one day turn those same lessons against him. For decades, they spread across the stars as the Empire's most elite unit, enforcing Frieza's will while quietly studying every weakness their overlord had.
And among them, one low-class warrior rose unlike any other.Kakarot.
Sent to subjugate planets and erase civilizations, Kakarot's latent potential bloomed under the crucible of war. His victories became legend — entire systems fell to a single Saiyan's fury. But deep within, resentment festered. He despised kneeling before the tyrants who treated his people as tools.
When King Vegeta's eldest son, Ruthless Vegeta, ascended to Super Saiyan, it was Kakarot who saw the path forward. Together, with Nappa, Raditz, and Bardock, they launched a coup unlike anything in Saiyan history.In one coordinated strike, Frieza, Cooler, and even King Cold were obliterated. The universe that had once ruled the Saiyans now belonged to them.
What followed was the rise of the Saiyan Empire — a reign defined not by diplomacy or order, but by dominance.They divided the galaxy into sectors. They bred generations of warriors.The term "Super Saiyan" became synonymous with divinity.
Power flourished, but peace never came. The Empire's unity was sustained by strength alone — and strength demands challenge.
King Vegeta, though aged, still reigned. But below him, power struggles boiled.Ruthless Vegeta — arrogant, merciless — became the embodiment of royal superiority.Bardock, now a general, commanded armies of millions and carried the burden of legacy — the "savage father who raised a galaxy."And at the Empire's heart, Rosan, a prodigy born in the aftermath of conquest, embodied their evolution: a Saiyan whose potential rivaled gods.
Even Kakarot, known now as "Ruthless Kakarot," grew monstrous in strength but unstable in purpose. His love of combat had long decayed into cruelty; his instincts had replaced compassion with bloodlust. To the Empire, he was both symbol and threat — the living proof that Saiyan nature could never be tamed.
Timeline 6 — The Birth of Baby Vegito Black
The arena dimmed. A thousand halos of divine light spiraled upward from the floor, weaving together into a single projection above the Grand Priest.His voice rolled across the universes like calm thunder.
"Behold… Timeline Six. A world where corruption took root in both divinity and vengeance — and where two parasites, one born of gods and one of men, became one."
The vision unfolded.
In this world, Goku Black appeared years earlier than destiny allowed.He did not toy with his prey; he exterminated them. The Z Fighters never gathered; the Earth's heroes fell one by one before they even understood what they were facing.
Bulma's laboratories burned first. Piccolo and Krillin followed, erased in crimson light.Only Vegeta survived long enough to witness the fall — and he vanished into space, died later to another monster.
Black, satisfied with his conquest, sought a new vessel for evolution.He looked beyond time itself and discovered another reality — a place where Saiyans had long since merged with the parasitic ambitions of the Tuffles.There, Baby Vegeta ruled a corrupted Earth under silver skies, his mind amplified by hatred and science.
"Two devils saw themselves in each other," the Grand Priest intoned. "One divine, one artificial. Both incomplete."
Through deceit and curiosity, Black offered Baby the gift of divinity — immortality through fusion.Baby, hungry for more than mortal control, accepted.
The Potara fusion that followed was abominable.Not a merging of souls, but a collision.Rose-colored ki met Tuffle nanite blood; divine instinct met engineered intellect.What emerged screamed once — a sound that cracked the atmosphere — and the scream became laughter.
"Thus," said Daishinkan, "was born Baby Vegito Black — the first fusion between god and parasite, Saiyan and machine, vengeance and reason."
The sky over Earth turned violet. Cities bowed. Humanity wore collars of black energy.The new fusion reshaped civilization into a shrine of obedience, feeding on fear and worship alike.Every spark of rebellion fueled his strength; every memory of resistance became his pleasure to erase.
Under his rule, the Baby Empire spread across the cosmos.Tuffle drones infused with divine ki colonized planets; Saiyan DNA was rewritten into soldiers of pink flame.He declared himself "The True Apex of Evolution."
Yet even gods of ruin grow restless.After centuries of absolute domination, Baby Vegito Black grew… bored.His intellect reached stagnation; his power had no rival left to crush.
"In the stillness of victory," Daishinkan narrated, "the monster found emptiness."
He began to travel the shattered timelines, erasing alternate versions of the Z WarriorsAt last, he discovered this tournament — a beacon of converging power unlike anything he had sensed since creation.
