Episode 293: Family, I Just Picked Up a Buu~!
『 An aura of red light gradually began to emanate from Beerus. In just a fraction of a second, he transformed from a child throwing a tantrum for candy into a terrifying demon king who struck fear into the hearts of all!
The aura radiating from Beerus instantly drew everyone's attention.
While not everyone noticed, at least half of the top powerhouses on Earth did.
Their sensitivity to energy signatures was exceptionally high.
Tien Shinhan stared at Beerus, murmuring softly, "What incredible energy… Who on earth is he? How does Bulma know such an extraordinary figure?"
Upon hearing this, Master Roshi said in a low voice, "This can't be described simply as 'strong.' He can only be described as invincible. Forget about us—even Goku and Vegeta might not be a match for him."
Sweat beaded on Krillin's forehead as he warned, "Everyone, be careful. Everything was fine just a moment ago, but now he's suddenly releasing this kind of pressure. It seems something went wrong or there's a misunderstanding. Vegeta and the others had better resolve this quickly. I really don't want to cross swords with a monster like this!"
Beerus was undoubtedly the strongest entity they had ever encountered. The sheer sense of oppression he exuded was even more intense than that of the former galactic emperor, Frieza!
At that moment, Android 18 took Krillin's hand and said gently, "Dear, don't be afraid!" 』

『 Viewers of Countless World 』
??
???
Did they hear that right?!
This beautiful woman actually called that short guy her husband!
They didn't look like a match at all; the guy looked like some sort of monk.
But when everyone saw the two holding hands, their eyes filled with envy.
It was actually true!
She was so virtuous and caring, and they were so affectionate. It was truly enviable.
—
『 "I am truly furious!" Beerus released a powerful surge of energy, forming a ring of red light around him that almost enveloped the entire Earth.
Majin Buu was no simple character either; he had once caused Goku and his friends immense trouble.
Now provoked by Beerus, Buu's eyes flashed with anger as he retorted coldly, "You want to fight me?"
"Today was supposed to be Bulma's birthday party. I came to join the fun and blow up some balloons, but you want to steal my food? I won't tolerate this!"
Before his voice even faded, he charged straight at Beerus!
A grand show was about to begin!
Everyone knew Buu's strength. Even if he couldn't defeat Beerus, he should at least be able to trade a few blows with him!
Especially in his current state, Buu seemed a bit different than before!
It looked like he had become even more formidable! 』
『 .....』
〜Gintama World〜
"Idiot? I hate it when people call me idriot the most! Why is this Buu guy so angry? I completely empathize with him!Also, I want to visit Earth too, and drop by to see some old friends."
Prince Hata stared at the Buu on the screen above, who looked eighty percent like him, and was instantly captivated by the character's charm.
He was originally passing by Earth, but seeing how lively the planet looked on the screen, he suddenly felt like going down to have some fun.
His spaceship landed near Kabukicho.
He recalled there was a bar around here with some decent hostesses.
He strolled down the street, humming a tune while watching the footage in his hand.
He was a peace-loving man with no interest in fighting, but when he saw his non-biological brother, Buu, appear on screen, his interest was piqued.
As he walked and watched, he suddenly bumped into something. Looking down, he saw a young girl walking a dog.
She wore a cheongsam, had a flat chest, and wore her hair in two buns. She looked to be only in her teens.
Prince Hata found the girl somewhat familiar.
"Huh?"
"What a cute doggy!"
The girl exclaimed.
"Isn't this Majin Buu?!"
Then, in a flurry of chaos, Prince Hata's attendants were all knocked flat.
By the time they came to their senses, they realized Prince Hata was gone!
Oh no!
The prince had been kidnapped!
Yorozuya—
Gintoki was picking his nose, his legs crossed as he stared at the video.
"Ooh! Hurry up and fight! This guy is so arrogant. He needs to be shown the power of Majin Buu!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Immediately after, heavy footsteps rushed in. It was Kagura, carrying a massive backpack, with Sadaharu following behind. The thing Kagura was carrying looked incredibly heavy.
Gintoki asked curiously,
"Kagura, what's in the bag? It's not Sadaharu's giant poop, is it?"
Kagura shook her head with a grin.
"Guess what I picked up on the street?"
"What is it? Ultraman?"
"It's that pink Buu from the screen earlier!"
Hearing this, Shinpachi sensed trouble and looked at Kagura in shock.
"Are you serious?"
Kagura unzipped the backpack, revealing Prince Hata tied up inside like a zongzi.
Gintoki compared the guy to Buu!
The little antenna on his forehead? The same!
His build? Also the same!
Except this one was white.
He gasped,
"Wow, you have amazing luck! You actually managed to pick up Buu!"
Shinpachi stared at the two of them, speechless.
"Gin-san? Isn't this Prince Hata?"
Gintoki leaned closer to the wrapped-up figure. Hearing Shinpachi's words, he laughed,
"What are you talking about, Shinpachi! This is clearly Buu. Look at his hairstyle—it's cast from the exact same mold as Buu's! As for him being white, that's not important. Completely unimportant."
Kagura poked the little antenna.
"Gin-san, what do you think this thing is for?"
Gintoki stared at it for a moment, then said solemnly,
"Hmm… maybe it's a █████…"
Kagura guessed,
"I think it's a █████."
Gintoki firmly denied it.
"How is that possible? It's absolutely a █████ or a █████…"
Shinpachi's face turned green. He couldn't stand their crude jokes any longer and yelled,
"Shut up, both of you! Look, his face is turning black with rage!"
"Prince Hata? What Prince Hata? This is clearly Buu!"
"Buu is immortal!"
"Hey, let's keep Buu as a pet and watch him fight Beerus. That'll be awesome!"
—
『 At this moment, Buu had no idea that he was being treated entirely as a pet in another universe.
Right now, his mind held only one thought: this guy actually wanted to steal his food!
Absolutely not!
How could he allow that!
Everyone present knew how powerful Buu was.
Initially, they wanted to stop Buu, but the next second, the scene left everyone utterly dumbfounded.
THUD—!
With a casual push, Buu was sent flying. He spun several times in mid-air before splashing into a distant pool.
Seeing a fight break out at her birthday party, Bulma was about to step forward to stop it.
But Vegeta blocked her, saying, "Let me handle this. Find a place to hide, quick!"
"No way!"
Ignoring Bulma, whom he left behind, Vegeta flew straight toward Beerus and shouted, "Lord Beerus, please stop!"
But because he had prioritized ensuring Bulma's safety first, he wasn't able to stop the chaos in time.
Master Roshi had never encountered such a terrifying opponent. Fearing that the foe would harm everyone, he quickly cried out, "Hurry and stop him!"
In an instant, Android 18, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin all charged at Beerus together.
Android 18 was the first to act. She closed in rapidly behind Beerus. Just as she was about to strike with an elbow, she suddenly realized Beerus had vanished. Her heart skipped a beat. "How is this possible?!"
Before she could locate him, the powerhouse was already behind her. Beerus delivered a gentle chop to her back, and she instantly lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground!
Seeing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. At least Beerus hadn't taken her life.
Next came Krillin's attack, but in an instant, he was kicked away by Beerus, flying off just like Buu had.
As Krillin spun backward through the air, he couldn't help but mutter, "How frustrating!"
Right after, Tien Shinhan tried to counter Beerus with his fists. However, not only was his punch easily evaded, but when he prepared for a second strike, he found he couldn't pull his hand back—some force held him tightly, rendering him unable to move an inch!
"Damn it!"
"Such immense power!"
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Tien Shinhan initially thought his movements were restricted by some weapon. But when he turned his head to look, he realized that his powerful fist was stopped by two simple chopsticks!
How could this be…
The warrior could hardly believe his eyes.
He struggled a few times to no avail; he remained trapped, unable to budge! 』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Tien Shinhan (Dragon Ball): "Why is he so strong?" ]
[ Tien Shinhan (Dragon Ball): "To block my entire attack with just a pair of chopsticks?" ]
[ Tien Shinhan (Dragon Ball): "Am I unable to even break ordinary chopsticks now?" ]
[ Arataki Itto (Genshin Impact): "Hahaha! How useless! Even a five- or six-year-old kid can break chopsticks, and you can't even snap them?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "How did he do that?" ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "Naturally, I used a tiny fraction of my energy to reinforce the little things in my hand." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "So amazing." ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "Hmph, after all, I am a God of Destruction." ]
[ Whis (Dragon Ball): "Lord Beerus, you shouldn't be too proud~" ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "Alright, Whis, don't embarrass me at a time like this." ]
[ Whis (Dragon Ball): "Zeno-sama is right here, did you forget?" ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "My apologies, Zeno-sama. I was carried away." ]
[ Grand Minister (Dragon Ball): "Hmph." ]
[ Zeno (Dragon Ball): "It's fine, it's very interesting!" ]
[ .....]
『 The onlookers were also stunned.
Ordinary bamboo utensils could actually produce such a terrifying effect!
To normal people, even a child could easily snap such chopsticks, but now they had become an insurmountable barrier.
This scene stirred massive waves in the hearts of everyone present.
Many people tried using the chopsticks around them to pinch things, trying to see if they could achieve the same feat. Unfortunately, the results proved that unless one possessed extraordinary power, it was impossible to replicate.
This point alone was enough to demonstrate just how powerful Beerus was.
With a sudden wave of his arm, Beerus flung Tien Shinhan several meters away!
Such divine strength…
Unprecedented!
Seeing his companions fall one after another, Piccolo could no longer remain a bystander.
Realizing the enemy before him possessed unfathomable strength, he went all out from the very start.
A dense aura erupted from his body. With a roar, his figure vanished and reappeared beside Beerus. Almost at the exact same moment, his foot was about to strike the target—
At this moment, Beerus was extremely furious. He walked to the edge of the pool, grabbed the exhausted, floating Buu by his head antenna, and lifted him up.
"Who said you could keep dessert from me? Just wait, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Everyone was stunned by Beerus's invincible state, temporarily forgetting that this entire incident had been triggered by a single piece of pudding.
It seemed Beerus truly was an absolute foodie!
If they didn't know Buu possessed an immortal body, they would definitely think the guy was dead after being beaten like this!
"Stop!"
Gohan bellowed, rapidly flying behind Beerus and wrapping his arms around him.
He thought this would restrict Beerus's movements, but in Beerus's eyes, his strength was utterly negligible!
With a gentle shrug, Beerus easily threw Gohan off.
Just like that…
Without even transforming, Gohan was grabbed by Beerus. With Buu in his other hand, Beerus slammed their heads hard against each other.
Gohan let out a muffled groan, while Buu blacked out completely.
With a look of disdain, Beerus released his grip and gave each of them a kick. Gohan crashed violently into a hill, while Buu fell back into the water once again!
This was too much!
Seeing this, Vegeta understood that the people of Earth had completely enraged Beerus. Rather than begging for mercy, it was better to fight him directly!
Although he had heard of Beerus's power, Vegeta had never witnessed it with his own eyes. The previous battle was merely a warm-up, far from showing Beerus's true level!
Would he rather die on his feet than live on his knees?
For him, this wasn't even a question!
"You bastard!"
"Here I come!"
Vegeta hesitated no longer and activated his Super Saiyan state.
Sensing Vegeta's transformation, a faint smile appeared on Beerus's face.
It was as if this was the exact moment he had been waiting for.
Vegeta's hair turned golden, and a powerful aura erupted around him.
He then charged at Beerus and launched his attack.
For the first few strikes, Beerus merely defended. Once he gauged the limit of Vegeta's abilities, a look of disappointment crossed his face.
Although Vegeta's strength was decent as the Prince of Saiyans, he was still far too distant from the so-called Saiyan God!
It had to be said that Vegeta was currently being beaten miserably.
Whis didn't pay much attention to the sporadic sounds of battle behind him. Knowing Beerus wasn't fighting seriously, he focused on finding delicious food.
"Hey, what is this?"
"It's sushi!"
"Looks good!" Whis picked up a piece and ate it with great relish.
He behaved as though he didn't even know the person engaged in the fierce battle behind him! 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "Whis, why are you eating food so leisurely on the side while I'm fighting?" ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "Most importantly, you actually ate delicious food without sharing it with me?" ]
[ Whis (Dragon Ball): "It did look very delicious. When we have time later, we can visit Earth~" ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "WHIS!!!" ]
[ .....]
『 Slap, slap, slap.
Beerus delivered several consecutive strikes to Vegeta's face, clearly growing impatient.
Vegeta couldn't block them at all, yet he still struggled to resist.
With a cold snort, Beerus delivered a heavy kick to Vegeta. The latter let out a cry of pain and crashed heavily into the ground, creating a deep crater, unable to get up for a long time!
Damn it!
Vegeta looked up at Beerus in the sky, his eyes filled with fear and despair!
Was Earth truly doomed?
He knew that a figure like Beerus wouldn't make empty threats. If he said he wanted to destroy Earth, he would certainly do it!
He was simply too strong!
Beyond ordinary comprehension!
He was unlike those ninjas who looked powerful and dominated their opponents with sheer aggression.
Beerus was different.
Beerus fought with complete ease, as if lifting a feather.
This was not just a gap in strength, but an absolute suppression in the realm!
Everyone stared at the fallen powerhouses on the ground!
Vegeta, Tien, Piccolo, Gohan…
Every single one of them was a renowned master.
Especially Gohan, whose combat power had once rivaled Goku's Super Saiyan 3, yet he had been defeated so effortlessly. It was truly disheartening!
With Earth's primary fighters defeated, no one knew what Beerus would do next, or if he would proceed to wipe out humanity. 』
