Looking at the smile slowly spreading across her father's face, Bulla couldn't help feeling confused. She stared at Vegeta with her bright, curious eyes, unable to hold back her curiosity any longer.
"Dad... what did you mean by that?" she finally asked.
A faint, mysterious smile appeared on Vegeta's usually stern face. "You'll understand in a moment. For now, just step back." He casually waved his hand, signaling for Bulla to move aside.
But Vegeta's cryptic behavior wasn't just confusing Bulla. Far away in Universe 7's Observation Room, Beerus was also watching every move in the arena through the monitor. Seeing Vegeta's strange actions, even he raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Hey, Vegeta! What are you doing? Just throw the guy out of the arena already!" Beerus frowned and shouted impatiently at the screen.
…
Meanwhile, in Universe 10's Observation Room...
Zamasu stood motionless, but the gloomy expression on his face revealed the unease and anger churning inside him. His sharp eyes remained fixed on Vegeta.
The moment he saw Vegeta's calm, calculating expression... an overwhelming sense of dread suddenly washed over him. The feeling was so strong that it sent a chill down his spine, and his instincts screamed a warning. *Something bad is about to happen.*
And they were right.
As Bulla quickly backed away from Black Vegito, the atmosphere on the battlefield seemed to freeze, and everyone unconsciously held their breath. Vegeta slowly narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and reached his right hand toward his chest.
The bizarre action instantly drew everyone's attention, and countless thoughts flashed through their minds as time itself seemed to stop. Everyone stared without blinking, waiting to see what he would pull out.
The next moment, Vegeta actually took something out from inside his clothes. It was incredibly small, a tiny little jar barely larger than a person's thumb. If you weren't paying close attention, you'd probably miss it entirely.
Then Vegeta reached into his clothes again, and a moment later, he pulled out a faded sealing talisman.
The instant Bulla saw those two items, her eyes flew wide open as if she'd been struck by lightning. Her mouth hung open in shock before it suddenly clicked.
"Dad! You... you're not planning to use the Evil Containment Wave, are you?!"
Hearing his daughter's shocked question, Vegeta's tense expression softened slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
"That's right, Bulla. I can't kill him, but there are other ways to deal with someone like him."
He paused, his gaze drifting into the distance as memories surfaced.
"I have to admit... your brother came up with a pretty clever solution. Seal someone like this away forever, and let him spend the rest of eternity trapped inside that tiny space, never seeing the light of day again."
Vegeta's eyes showed clear approval for Trunks. Then he carefully bent down and gently placed the tiny jar on the ground. The little jar sat there quietly, looking completely ordinary.
Bulla stared at it, still puzzled. "Dad... you know the Evil Containment Wave too? How come I never knew? When did you learn it?"
Faced with her stream of questions, Vegeta showed no impatience. Instead, he sank into his memories. "To be precise... you could say your brother taught it to me."
As he spoke, his thoughts drifted back to the day after they had defeated Zamasu in the future timeline and successfully returned to their own time.
The entire world had been filled with celebration and relief, and everyone threw themselves into the festivities. Everyone except one person: Trunks.
Instead of joining the party, he went straight to Master Roshi and sincerely asked him to teach him a special technique, the Evil Containment Wave.
After Trunks shamelessly wore him down with every trick he could think of, including playing the charm card, Master Roshi finally gave in and agreed to teach him. Vegeta happened to witness the whole thing.
Without saying a word, he quietly followed them, hid in the bushes, and silently watched Roshi teach Trunks, memorizing every movement and every step.
Thanks to his extraordinary talent and hard work, it didn't take Vegeta long to grasp the fundamentals of the technique. And now, he finally had a chance to use it.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was so tense it was almost suffocating. Vegeta's aura roared around him, and everything was ready. He planted both feet firmly on the ground, his muscles tensing as energy gathered wildly in his palms.
"Evil Containment Wave!!" Vegeta threw back his head and shouted.
A brilliant green light instantly flooded the arena, spinning into a massive vortex that threw the surrounding air into chaos.
The unconscious Black Vegito, completely unable to resist, slowly floated into the air as though an invisible hand had seized him. He was dragged straight toward the tiny jar at the center of the swirling light, and in the blink of an eye, he was sucked inside.
Imagine it, without missing a beat, Vegeta pulled out the sealing talisman and, with a flick of his fingers, slapped it perfectly onto the jar. The entire sequence flowed together flawlessly.

The scene exploded like a bomb inside Universe 10's Observation Room. Toppo Zamasu froze where he stood, his jaw nearly hitting the floor and his mouth hanging wide open.
As Black Vegito's counterpart, he could clearly sense the terrifying power hidden within that technique. A chill ran through his heart as fear quietly wrapped itself around him. He hurriedly closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to sense Black Vegito's aura.
A second later, his eyes snapped open.
"What?! It's... gone?!"
Cold sweat poured down his forehead, his voice trembling. "What kind of terrifying technique is this?!"
After a long pause, he looked both horrified and wary. "Are all the fighters in Universe 7 monsters?!"
Once again, everything he thought he knew had been shattered. Universe 7's warriors were already frighteningly powerful, but who could have imagined they also possessed techniques this bizarre?
---
Watching all of this, Zamasu nearly ground his back teeth to dust. He slowly closed his eyes, and within the Sea of Consciousness, countless black shadows drifted past before finally connecting with Black Vegito's mind, trying to wake him.
Then he drew in a sharp breath. He couldn't reach Black Vegito anymore, not at all. This method... was simply too cruel.
Just as Zamasu was silently grieving, two figures suddenly appeared behind him. Both were massive, and both had their eyes closed. To put it another way, they had been knocked unconscious.
Looking at the two motionless bodies, Zamasu's breathing became rapid. He shook his head frantically, his bloodshot eyes filled with disbelief. "No... no! This can't be real! Damn it! What happened during this tournament?! Even those two were eliminated?!"
At that moment, a system announcement echoed through his mind, striking him harder than anything before. He hadn't received news that Black Vegito had been eliminated; instead, he heard two completely different elimination announcements.
'「Universe 10: Broly has been eliminated.」'
'「Universe 10: Broly has been eliminated.」'
The two announcements rang through his mind like thunder. Zamasu stood frozen in place, unable to calm the storm raging inside him. He immediately rushed over to inspect the two unconscious bodies.
He was right. They were Black Z Broly and Black Super Broly, the two Brolys whose bodies had been taken over. Both of them had completely lost consciousness.
