DBS Chapter 87 Summary and Recap
The chapter begins with Goku and Vegeta kinda unsatisfied with the way they won. Vegeta says he will polish his techniques even more so he can surpass Goku once again. That’s when Granolah falls to the ground and starts coughing. Granolah then says he has only 3 years left, that’s the pact he made in order to become the strongest. Monaito asks to get a look at him and suddenly seems surprised. Goku asks if it’s because of how little time he has left but it’s the exact opposite: Monaito can maybe heal him completely. He unleashes some aura and Granolah is flabbergasted.
He does the same thing to Goku and Vegeta and they feel revigorated once again. Elek prepared to leave and Goku asks if he’s planning to leave his brother behind. Elek says he doesn’t care about trashes either way and all of a sudden Monaito gets pierced by a laser. It was Gas who shot Monaito! A new fight starts between Gas vs Goku Ultra Instinct and Vegeta Ultra Ego. Surprisingly, Gas wins and that’s when Frieza appears, and kills Gas with incredible ease. Frieza revealed that he was in another different world until now, and since Frieza did not exist in the universe, the holy dragon did not take him into account while granting the ‘strongest of all universe” wish.
After killing Gas, Frieza says he couldn’t stay weaker than Goku and Vegeta forever, so he went in search of a new power. Frieza unveils his new Black Frieza transformation, and attacks Goku Ul and Vegeta UE. Frieza left after showing off his new transformation which he christened Black Frieza and also invited Maki and Oil to join his army saying that they need kitchen staff. Monaito is alive, he gives Bardock’s scouter to Goku, and Granola apologizes to the Saiyans. Goku asks Whis if the strongest warrior the Oracle Fish was talking about was Frieza, to which Whis doesn’t answer directly, but Goku and Vegeta interpret that as “yes”.. Goku says he still needs to practice. They both leave with Whis. This is where the chapter ends.
