The Angel Returns, Broly Strongly Saves Goku (Part 1)
…
“Special Beam Cannon!”
Piccolo extended his hand, unleashing a spiraling purple beam of energy that shot straight toward Raditz.
Raditz’s expression shifted dramatically as he desperately dodged, barely managing to avoid the Special Beam Cannon.
Even so, the attack grazed his shoulder guard, shattering it and leaving a red mark on his skin where it grazed him.
“He… he dodged it!” Piccolo was stunned, his face darkening. “This guy is unbelievably fast, he actually managed to dodge!”
“You managed to damage my armor, which means your power isn’t insignificant. If that had hit me directly, I might’ve been done for,” Raditz said, cold sweat pouring down his face.
“Damn it, I missed!” Piccolo thought, feeling a sense of despair.
“I won’t forgive you! The game ends here!” Raditz clenched his fists, beads of sweat falling from his forehead.
That was too close!
I’ve been playing around for too long.
If I keep toying with them like this, I might end up getting myself killed.
I need to finish them off now!
“It’s my turn to attack!” Raditz declared, raising his right hand to unleash a deadly blast at Piccolo.
At that critical moment, Goku quickly moved forward and grabbed Raditz’s tail.
“Ah… aah… aaaaaah!”
Raditz screamed, feeling his strength drain from his body. He collapsed to his knees, unable to stand.
“When… when did you grab my tail?” Raditz muttered.
“Piccolo, use that move again!” Goku shouted to Piccolo.
“Ah… y-yes!” Piccolo nodded quickly, overwhelmed by how quickly things had turned. “Well done, Goku! Make sure you hold his tail tight! I can only use this attack one more time!”
“Kakarot, are you really going to kill your only brother?” Raditz tried to play on Goku’s emotions, hoping to manipulate him.
“You call yourself my brother? You were ready to kill my son!” Goku snapped angrily.
“I wasn’t really going to kill him… I was just trying to scare you! I even gave him some candy!” Raditz quickly lied.
“Don’t be fooled, Goku! Don’t listen to his sweet-talking lies!” Piccolo shouted, terrified that Goku might let his guard down.
“Please, brother! Believe me! I’ve gone too far, I admit it! I’ll leave Earth right now and never come back!” Raditz pleaded.
Goku hesitated, torn and struggling with the decision.
“Don’t release his tail! It’s a trap!” Piccolo yelled in desperation.
“Please, Kakarot, I’m your only brother! Trust me!” Raditz begged, his voice sounding both tragic and sincere.
Goku’s resolve wavered, and slowly, he released Raditz’s tail.
“Goku!” Piccolo shouted, overwhelmed with despair.
Raditz smirked, instantly regaining his strength. With a swift movement, he elbowed Goku in the jaw, sending him crashing to the ground.
Raditz then leaped up and stomped on Goku’s chest, increasing the pressure.
Goku cried out in pain, unable to free himself.
—
Universe 6, Outer Space
A brilliant streak of light, like a star, shot across the cosmos, heading toward Earth.
“Chocolate! Chocolate!” Majin Buu’s eyes teared up with excitement as he spotted Earth, chanting over and over.
Broly patted his stomach, taking a deep breath.
It had been over 20 years since he last ate…
Finally, he could have a proper feast.
Inside Ren’s body, Exquisite had shrunk into a tiny figure, no bigger than a thumb. She spotted the beautiful blue planet below and couldn’t help but lick her lips, drooling at the sight.
Ren: “…”
“You enjoy good food too, huh?” Ren asked.
“Yeah… most angels enjoy fine cuisine,” Exquisite nodded, quickly wiping away the drool. “Sorry about that…”
“Hold on a second. I see people fighting over there, and one of them is the new Supreme Kai I’m looking for—Son Goku,” Ren changed course, flying toward the battle below.
Exquisite: “…”
Are you doing this on purpose to tease me?
That’s just cruel!
In a blink, Ren, along with Broly and Buu, appeared high in the sky, looking down at the battle.
At that moment, Raditz had his foot pressed hard against Goku’s chest, intensifying the pressure.
Goku screamed in agony.
Broly watched the fight quietly.
He could easily see that the fighters below were far too weak.
If he stepped in, it would be like tearing apart a piece of tofu.
Majin Buu was even less interested in the fight. The moment they reached Earth, he began rubbing his hands together in excitement.
“Ren… can I go find Mr. Satan?” Buu grinned.
“Go ahead,” Ren nodded.
Buu nodded eagerly.
“Remember my instructions?” Ren glanced at Buu.
“Don’t kill anyone, don’t turn anyone into chocolate, don’t destroy planets, and don’t break any buildings!” Buu recited, nodding again to show he understood.
“If someone picks a fight with you, feel free to deal with them,” Ren added.
Majin Buu nodded once more.
Ren waved his hand, signaling that Buu was free to go.
“Chocolate! Chocolate!” Buu bounced happily through the clouds, heading off in search of Mr. Satan.
Broly stayed by Ren’s side, looking down at the battle below.
“Ren, which one is Son Goku? The guy getting stepped on?” Broly asked.
“Yeah, that’s him,” Ren confirmed.
Broly said nothing.
Such a weak Supreme Kai…
“Is that Son Goku… your new Supreme Kai?” Exquisite had also noticed the pitiful sight of Goku being beaten down and couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
The weakest Supreme Kai ever…
“What do you think?” Ren asked.
Exquisite: “…”
I don’t want to say anything.
He’s getting beaten pretty badly.
Can’t you see that?
And weren’t we supposed to be going to eat?
Why are we watching this lame fight instead?
“This isn’t great…” Exquisite finally replied, chuckling awkwardly.
“Do you think if I train him to become stronger than Jiren, Merus will be shocked?” Ren smiled with anticipation.
“Don’t even think about it… I’ve heard about Jiren, and if we’re talking about the strongest in the universe, no one surpasses him,” Exquisite said thoughtfully. “Lord Belmod was considering Jiren as the next God of Destruction. He’s already qualified.”
“You make a good point. Alright, it’s decided,” Ren grinned.
Exquisite: “…”
Why do you even ask for my opinion if you’re just going to ignore it?
Exquisite was speechless.
“Hahaha, fools like you are rare!” Raditz laughed. “I tricked you with one emotional ploy! You’re useless as a warrior! But I’m different—I could kill my own brother without hesitation! Ren said you’d be Prince Vegeta’s rival for life, but at your level, you can’t even beat me! How could you possibly challenge Vegeta? You’re about to die, and whatever potential you have is wasted!”
Raditz stomped harder on Goku’s chest.
“Ahhh!”
Goku screamed louder, his pain reaching unbearable levels.
“The more you suffer before death, the more satisfying it is for me,” Raditz sneered, increasing the pressure.
Piccolo trembled in fear, too scared to make a move.
“Hahaha, you’re next! Want to try that last move again?” Raditz smirked.
Piccolo remained silent.
He’ll dodge it again… it would just waste energy.
Broly had seen enough.
This guy is supposed to be Ren’s new Supreme Kai…
Seeing Goku being treated this way made Broly want to tear Raditz apart.
But Ren raised a hand, signaling Broly to hold back for now.
“Look over there,” Ren pointed toward the spherical space pod.
Broly’s eyes narrowed as he glanced in that direction.
Suddenly, Raditz’s scouter began flashing and beeping, detecting a powerful battle power.
“What?” Raditz turned to look at the space pod.
Boom!
The pod exploded into pieces as Gohan shattered it.
Tears streamed down Gohan’s face as he walked toward Raditz, his expression filled with rage.
Raditz’s face paled.
What’s going on here?
My space pod!
I’m stranded now! I’ll need Vegeta to come pick me up!
And Kakarot’s son… how could his power level be so…
“Oh… I think if we train this little guy properly, he could make a good Supreme Kai,” Exquisite suddenly suggested to Ren with a smile.
“We can consider him as a backup option,” Ren nodded.
“He’s only about four years old, even younger than you were back then,” Exquisite added with a smile.
Ren didn’t respond, as he was about to witness Gohan’s shining moment.
Piccolo was also shocked, completely unprepared for Goku’s son to suddenly destroy the space pod and emerge.
It was almost unbelievable!
Gohan was furious beyond measure, tears streaming down his face as he angrily walked toward Raditz.
“Gohan…” Goku weakly looked at his son.
“What’s going on…?” Raditz felt an ominous chill run down his spine.
“Sob… sob…”
Gohan, tears still flowing, felt even more angry and upset.
“Gohan, run! Get out of here!” Goku shouted urgently.
“P-Power level… Power level 1,307!” Raditz’s forehead was covered in sweat, his face turning pale.
“Don’t bully my dad!” Gohan cried out loudly, tears streaming down his face as he shot up into the air, headbutting Raditz straight in the chest.
“Gahhhh!”
Raditz was hit hard, his chest armor cracking, and he staggered back two steps, nearly collapsing.

The Angel Returns, Broly Strongly Saves Goku (Part 2)
…
Gohan fell to the ground, looking around in confusion.
“Gohan… Gohan…” Goku stared in astonishment at his son.
“D-Dad…” Gohan gasped, suddenly filled with both surprise and joy at seeing his father.
“Is your head okay?” Goku asked with concern.
“Huff, huff…”
Raditz clutched his chest, his body trembling, weakened from the blow.
“This little brat!” Raditz gritted his teeth in rage, clenching his fists tightly.
“Big bully!” Gohan turned back and shouted.
“Gohan, run! Get out of here now!” Goku yelled, panicking.
“Damn it… Now the kid’s power has dropped,” Raditz snarled. “It’s insane how his power fluctuates with his emotions.”
“Bam!”
Raditz smacked Gohan with a backhand, sending him flying.
Gohan tumbled to the ground, stars spinning before his eyes as he immediately lost consciousness.
“You… what are you doing? Don’t hurt him!” Goku cried out in anguish, his anger overflowing.
“You’re still going to claim he’s just a kid? How ridiculous. That child’s power is far greater than yours!” Raditz scoffed. “Before he learns how to fully control his power, I must eliminate him! But don’t worry, you’ll all reunite in the afterlife soon enough!”
Raditz began walking toward the unconscious Gohan.
“That kid is something special,” Exquisite remarked with a hint of awe. “If trained well, he could indeed become a great Supreme Kai… though defeating Jiren might be too much to ask.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Ren smiled.
“As for his father, Son Goku… no matter how much training he gets, he’ll never match Jiren,” Exquisite continued to analyze.
Ren just smiled quietly, saying nothing more.
Broly glanced at Ren, as if asking whether he should step in and help.
“No need to rush. It’ll be more dramatic to intervene at the critical moment,” Ren replied with a smile.
Broly remained silent.
Exquisite, however, was speechless.
As Raditz moved closer to Gohan, Goku suddenly rose to his feet, grabbing Raditz from behind and locking his arms.
“You… how do you still have this much strength?” Raditz was shocked, unable to believe it.
“Piccolo, use that move again!” Goku shouted to Piccolo in the distance.
“I knew it would come to this. I was mentally prepared!” Piccolo laughed, gathering energy in his hands. “But wait, why aren’t you grabbing his tail?”
“It won’t work. He can detach it at will,” Goku explained.
“You knew that?” Raditz struggled desperately, trying to break free from Goku’s grip.
But Goku held on tightly, refusing to let go.
“Damn it… That kid’s headbutt nearly broke my bones!” Raditz gritted his teeth, feeling both angry and desperate. “Let go of me, Kakarot! You idiot, if you hold on like this, you’ll die with me!”
“Heh, that’s the plan!” Goku chuckled.
“What are you saying? You don’t have to do something this stupid!” Raditz panicked, unable to comprehend Goku’s resolve.
“This is the only way to beat you!” Goku smiled grimly.
At that moment, Piccolo had finally gathered the energy for his Special Beam Cannon, a smirk appearing on his face.
“Goku, I won’t hesitate. If I can take you both out at once, all the better,” Piccolo’s grin widened.
“Hurry up! I can’t hold him much longer!” Goku shouted.
“Let go, Kakarot! I swear I’ll leave this planet and never come back!” Raditz pleaded desperately.
“Do you think I’ll fall for that again?” Goku barked back.
“Sorry for the wait!” Piccolo’s fingers glowed with purple energy. “Get ready to be skewered!”
“Do it! Now!” Goku closed his eyes, bracing himself.
“Special Beam Cannon!”
Piccolo pointed his fingers forward, and the spiraling beam of energy shot toward both Goku and Raditz’s chests.
Just as the purple energy was about to strike, Ren raised his staff and lightly waved it.
In an instant, Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon mysteriously disappeared.
Piccolo’s eyes widened in confusion.
What happened to my Special Beam Cannon?
Where did it go?
Raditz’s pupils contracted, disbelief washing over him as he realized what had just happened.
“Hahaha! I’m saved!” Raditz laughed maniacally.
Goku was dumbfounded, his arms slowly loosening their grip around Raditz.
Piccolo’s ultimate attack had vanished…
What in the world just happened?
“Wham!”
Raditz quickly broke free from Goku’s hold, delivering a backhand that sent Goku crashing to the ground.
Without hesitation, Raditz rushed forward, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Goku.
“We should go down now,” Ren said to Broly.
Broly nodded in agreement.
“Zoom!”
Ren and Broly descended from the sky, landing next to Goku.
Raditz, ready to strike, immediately noticed Ren and Broly’s arrival.
“Who the hell are you two?” Raditz shouted, his fist still aimed at Goku’s head.
Broly, unfazed, turned his back to Raditz and… stuck out his butt.
Raditz: “???”
What’s going on? What’s he doing?
“Pffft!”
Broly farted directly at Raditz.
“Boom!”
With a muffled sound, Raditz was sent flying by Broly’s fart.
Raditz’s body tumbled across the ground, rolling continuously until he finally stopped about 100 meters away.
“Owwwww…”
Raditz groaned in pain, feeling like his entire body was falling apart.
Goku was stunned.
Piccolo was dumbfounded.
Who is this guy?
And what kind of fart is that powerful?
He knocked that guy flying with just a fart?
Ren calmly walked over to Goku, raised his staff, and pointed it gently at him. A surge of invisible angelic energy quickly enveloped Goku’s body.
In an instant, Goku’s injuries were completely healed.
“Huh? Huh? Huh?” Goku got up from the ground, surprised and confused but filled with joy.
“Wham!”
Ren then pointed at Piccolo from a distance.
Another wave of angelic energy covered Piccolo’s body, and before anyone could react, Piccolo’s severed arm regenerated right before their eyes.
“You… who are you?” Piccolo asked in shock.
“Ren,” Ren smiled and introduced himself.
“Huh? Ren? You’re Ren? The one Bulma talks about?” Goku exclaimed with both surprise and happiness, “Bulma talks about you all the time…”
Ren: “…”
Bulma talks about me?
The little girl from back then must have grown up by now, right?
Wait, no, she’s almost 30 already.
What’s that saying again?
“Men are like flowers at 31, and women turn to tofu scraps at 30.”
Before I knew it, Bulma’s reached that age.
“The past is gone…” Ren sighed.
“Huh? Bulma said you’re a Saiyan too? Why are your hair and tail white?” Goku curiously examined Ren.
“That’s not important.” Ren smiled.
“And who’s this…” Goku’s attention shifted to Broly.
This guy is insanely strong. He seriously injured my brother with just a fart!
That’s terrifying!
“Broly,” Broly responded calmly, stating his name.
“Huh? You’re Broly? Bulma mentioned you before!” Goku’s eyes widened even further, and he lowered his voice as he addressed Broly, “She said that a long time ago, you grabbed Master Roshi’s shell and slammed him around…”
Broly: “???”
“Who?” Broly had long forgotten such things.
“You… you’re Ren? And that guy is Broly?” Raditz felt like dying. His face turned pale, and after struggling a few times to get up, he collapsed back to the ground.
“Gohan!” Goku suddenly remembered his son, Gohan, and rushed over to pick him up from the ground.
Goku checked his son carefully, relieved to see that he wasn’t seriously hurt, just knocked unconscious.
“Ren… could you heal Gohan too?” Goku hurriedly asked.
“I came here to ask if you’d like to be trained to become an outstanding Supreme Kai. Are you interested?” Ren asked directly, not in a rush to heal Gohan.
“Supreme Kai? What’s that?” Goku asked, confused.
“A very powerful god,” Ren replied.
“Honestly, I don’t care much about becoming a god. I just want to get stronger,” Goku said after some thought, expressing his true feelings.
“You won’t be able to grow stronger quickly without following my method,” Ren smiled and pointed at Broly. “Broly is a Saiyan too. Do you know how strong he is now?”
Goku shook his head in bewilderment.
After all, Goku still had no idea just how strong Broly could be.
“Ten billion of you wouldn’t be enough to beat him,” Ren explained.
Goku: “…”
Goku scratched his head, drawing in a sharp breath.
Piccolo trembled in fear.
Ten billion Gokus couldn’t beat Broly?
If that’s true, then that’s terrifying.
“Let’s not focus on Broly for now. Has your brother ever mentioned someone named Vegeta?” Ren asked.
“He’s mentioned Vegeta several times… something about me becoming his lifelong rival… and calling him ‘Your Highness.’ Who is he? Another Saiyan?” Goku asked curiously.
“That’s right, Vegeta is the Saiyan prince,” Ren nodded, “and a genius warrior from Planet Vegeta.”
“Is he really that strong? How much stronger is he than my brother?” Goku asked.
“More than 15 times stronger,” Ren answered.
Goku: “…”
“This… you said I would be his rival for life, but I’m not confident I can beat him,” Goku chuckled nervously.
“If you train properly, nothing is impossible,” Ren said, lifting his right hand.
“Wham!”
Suddenly, a book appeared in Ren’s hand.
“Take this. Study it well,” Ren handed the book to Goku.
Goku quickly accepted it and brought it closer to examine it.
Piccolo, curious, craned his neck to see what it was.
“Ultra Instinct? Training Manual?” Goku scratched his head, “What a strange name.”
Piccolo looked equally puzzled. He had never heard of a technique called “Ultra Instinct” before.
“If I train using this, can I defeat Vegeta?” Goku asked excitedly.
“Yes,” Ren nodded, then added thoughtfully, “I once gave this book to Vegeta, but he wasn’t interested.”
“Haha, then I’ll give it a try!” Goku cheerfully agreed, flipping through the contents. “It looks like this has some great techniques… that Vegeta guy probably missed out on something amazing!”
