"You cruel guy... I will never forgive you!" Frieza spat, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and indignation.
"You say you won't forgive me?" Goku countered, his voice booming with the authority of a Super Saiyan.
"Do you mean that what you Saiyans did in the past—killing so many innocent people—was right?" Frieza sneered, attempting a desperate moral pivot to shake Goku's resolve.
Facing Frieza's soul-searching question, Goku answered with a single, chilling sentence. "That's why they perished."
The weight of those words left Frieza speechless. The answer was a total subversion of what he—and the audience across the Wanjie Multiverse—expected.
In the World of the Wise, Fleet Admiral Sengoku narrowed his eyes. "So the Saiyans perished. A simple sentence, yet the meaning it contains is extraordinary."
"Yes," Zhang Chulan added, his usual laid-back demeanor replaced by genuine respect. "Goku is a Saiyan himself, but he's saying that anyone who commits a massacre is wrong. Even if it's his own bloodline, he offers no excuses. He isn't blinded by racial loyalty; he's blinded only by justice."
In the Hidden Leaf Village, Uchiha Sasuke tagged his rival. "@Uzumaki Naruto, do you see? Learn from Son Goku. Stop relying on your 'Talk no Jutsu' all the time. Real justice doesn't always need a lecture."
"I don't think that's right!" Naruto fired back. "It was the other Saiyans who killed people. What does that have to do with Goku? If I were there, I'd definitely try to have a heart-to-heart with Frieza first."
Sasuke simply replied with an ellipsis. Naruto's obsession with "talking it out" was clearly reaching a boiling point for the Uchiha, who found Goku's uncompromising stance refreshing.
Akira, watching the cross-dimensional debate from West City, nodded in quiet satisfaction. He had highlighted this moment specifically to showcase Goku's ideological maturity. Dragon Ball didn't need grand, preachy philosophies; Goku's simple, tactical acceptance of his race's karma was more profound than any ten-minute monologue. It outshone works that loved to lecture by showing, not telling, what true accountability looked like.
While the thinkers debated morality, Vegeta's attention was purely on the power scaling. "Hahahaha! Frieza! Look at you! This is a Super Saiyan! You're no match at all!" he crowed from his spaceship. "Who was it that said Kakarot wouldn't stand a chance? Frieza, does your face hurt yet? Because it looks like it's getting pounded!"
Vegeta was ecstatic, despite the bitter sting of Kakarot reaching the legend first. Seeing his tormentor humiliated was a balm for his pride. However, a shadow of doubt crossed his mind. Transforming requires immense rage... that might be a problem for me. He wondered if he could ever find a fury pure enough to bridge that gap.
Elsewhere in the cosmos, Frieza crushed the fine crystal glass in his hand, purple blood-like wine staining his claws. His expression was grim. He had underestimated the multiplier of the Super Saiyan transformation. He hadn't realized how much the golden Ki amplified a Saiyan's base power.
"@Vegeta, you're celebrating a bit too early," Frieza typed, his digital tone dripping with cold venom. "You don't actually think this is all my power, do you?"
The comment sent a ripple of anticipation through the viewers. Frieza hasn't used his full power? The tension shifted. Across the dimensions, fans wondered: who would truly stand at the top once the dust settled?
Back in the video, Goku's dominance was so absolute that he began to look bored. "You're too weak," he told the tyrant.
This was the final insult. Frieza lost his composure entirely. He began to hurl himself into a massive power-up. His veins bulged, and his slender upper body began to swell with grotesque, hyper-defined muscle. He confessed that he had never used 100% of his power because the strain on his physical form was too great, potentially shortening his lifespan.
Goku stood by, arms crossed, watching the transformation with a calm, expectant gaze.
"Son Goku is making a mistake," Duanmu Yan commented from the Nawa World. "If it were me, I would have gone up and ended it with a kick while he was still powering up. Why wait for the villain to get stronger?"
"@Duanmu Yan, you don't understand," Krillin explained. "Goku loves the thrill of the fight more than the victory itself. Seeing Frieza reach his peak doesn't scare him—it excites him."
"Exactly," Yamcha added. "He's a battle maniac. He doesn't want to defeat a weakened Frieza; he wants to crush Frieza at his absolute best."
Duanmu Yan sighed. He could understand a battle maniac's logic, but he still couldn't forgive the other Armor Summoners and Kamen Riders who did the same thing without the Saiyan excuse.
As Frieza's muscles expanded to their limit, a terrifying pressure began to radiate from the screen, signaling the arrival of the tyrant's final, 100% form.
