“Let’s Do It, Grand Zeno! The Universes’ Best Tournament!!” gets other important information across along the way, but it feels very inconsequential and like the only reason we’re privy to it is because Goku stumbles upon it in his aimlessness. This restless nature is both helpful and a hindrance to the episode, but there’s not much else to the entry.

Goku begins the installment in bullshit mode (you know, his beige farmer’s outfit) because Chi-Chi doesn’t think that he makes enough money or is useful enough. Accordingly, the universe’s defender has to sheepishly try to peddle produce to appease his wife and get her off his back. A simple farmers’ market run shouldn’t be one of the more dangerous destinations that Goku visits, but he inexplicably finds his life on the line when some scofflaws attempt to rob him. This minor “fight scene” isn’t that suspenseful, but there’s a surprising amount of style to Goku’s takedown of these criminals. It’s clear that the guy is starving for an actual challenge. The thieves obviously aren’t a problem for Goku to handle, but they do unexpectedly succeed in “injuring” him before their defeat.

This may seem a little ridiculous considering the level of strength that Goku has attained at this point in the series. Yet, this acts as a reminder that on this show energy operates like a shield of protection, but only when the user is aware enough to use it. So much like when Frieza’s henchman, Sorbet, pierces Goku with a laser gun earlier in the series, this is an example where strength alone isn’t enough to protect Goku. He needs to be trained in every area and while he thinks he figures this out by the end of the episode, his ignorance gets him and everyone else into an even larger problem, which speaks to how he maybe really hasn’t learned anything.

If this next run of episodes explores some humility on Goku’s part and that the incorporation of other universes shows him that there are many more strong individuals out there. Even if Dragon Ball Super only brushes up against this kind of material, it’ll still be the first time that the strong, yet irresponsible hero will be looked at in such a way.

It’s extremely gratifying to see Beerus snap at Goku’s brash, impulsive actions to get the Zenos to host a multi-universal tournament. Beerus has previously scolded Goku for his behavior with the Zenos, but it feels a lot more serious this time. He straight up tells Goku that he’ll kill him if he pulls this kind of behavior again and while this may be a bluff, it doesn’t feel like Beerus messes around when it comes to Zeno.
