## Synopsis

Son Goku's world is about to explode in **Dragon Ball GT**. His devious brother, Vegeta, has taken over Planet Vegeta, the powerful Broly has emerged to steal the throne for himself and Goku is imprisoned on the other side of the universe. To escape captivity and save his home from imminent destruction, Goku must first win a deadly alien contest by defeating his former ally and fellow Jump Force member...Naruto Uzumaki!

## Plot

Goku has been captured by mysterious enemy forces on Planet 469. He rambles toward a skeleton sharing his cage about his efforts to defeat some Homonculi on Earth, and laments about his inability to find any of the Dragon Balls he had set out to locate. He notes that sometimes you have to get captured in order to get a straight answer out of someone (the someone in this instance being Frieza). Frieza releases Goku from his cage, chained and dangling, and taunts him with the knowledge of Bardock no longer being on Planet Vegeta, also mentioning that Goku's absence has left it vulnerable. He announces that the apocalypse is coming to Planet Vegeta by his hand, and that all he must do to achieve this is to join his ki with the Eternal Flame, which burns in Bardock's Vault.

Goku takes the cue to transform into Super Saiyan Blue, break out of his chains, and fight off Frieza's minions before taking his him as a trophy. When he attempts to return to Planet Vegeta, however, Paragus does not respond. His replacement, Cabba, only notices Goku's call when one of the women he is trying to impress points out Goku's ki signature. Returning to Planet Vegeta for the first time in years, Goku is told by Cabba that Paragus has been declared an enemy of the people and is on the run. Goku is unimpressed and goes to find Bardock, who is watching a play about the valiant death of Vegeta, whilst laying about and being pampered by various women. Goku sees through "Bardock's" deception and forces Vegeta to drop the charade. After ordering for Frieza's corpse to be delivered to Bardock's Vault, Goku has Cabba transport him and Vegeta to Earth to find the real Bardock. Unfortunately, upon arrival, Goku and Vegeta quickly discover that the retirement home Vegeta had placed Bardock in has been demolished. At this point, some passerbys reveal that Bulma Briefs has broken up with Goku (although Goku insists to them that it was a 'mutual dumping').

Suddenly, Vegeta is snatched away, leaving a mysterious address card behind, pointing Goku toward Bleecker Street. Here, he finds Touya Mochizuki, who insists on knowing why Vegeta has been brought back to Earth. Goku explains that they are simply trying to find Bardock and will immediately leave as soon as he is retrieved. Touya reveals that he knows of Bardock's whereabouts (Norway, incidentally), but notes that Bardock asked not to be disturbed. Nevertheless, he sends Goku and Vegeta to him.

Goku and Vegeta find Bardock, having shaken off Vegeta's Time Breaker mask, but he is despondent and dying. In his last moments, Bardock makes a confession - Broly, the brother Goku and Vegeta never knew they had (and the Legendary Super Saiyan) will be released from his prison once he dies. He is far more powerful than his brothers and will grow stronger when he returns to the fires of Planet Vegeta. Bardock tells his sons he loves them one last time, before transforming into energy and presumably dying.

Goku becomes enraged at Vegeta, blaming him for Bardock's death (his life expectancy having been presumedly shortened during his time on Earth), but a green mass forms in the air and Broly emerges from his prison. When the brothers refuse to kneel to him, Broly attacks them. Goku fires off a Super Saiyan Blue Kamehameha toward him, but he easily catches it with one hand and dispells it. Vegeta panics and calls for Goku to use Instant Transmission. However, during their transport, Broly intercepts them and forces both Vegeta and Goku out of the technique. Nappa and Raditz, awaiting inside of the space pod hanger, are killed almost immediately as Broly arrives. Cabba, present only because he has been given janitorial duty, is recruited to his side as Broly sets his eyes on the kingdom.

Meanwhile, we find Goku, deposited on an alien planet covered in junk: Sadale. There are portals and wormholes of different shapes and sizes all across the sky, from which junk and debris from other worlds fall through to the surface. Goku is approached by hostile scavengers, who he manages to fight off in base form until one of the scavengers uses an electrified net to capture him. The scavengers proceed to beat Goku until a spaceship lands near them. From within, a drunk woman appears, claiming Goku to be "hers." The woman kills the scavengers with her ki blasts, seemingly rescuing Goku. Unfortunately, she ends up throwing a small disc at his neck, allowing her to electrocute and render him unconscious at the push of a button. With the disc connected to his neck preventing him from escaping, the woman takes Goku onto her ship.

Back on Planet Vegeta, the Saiyan army, led by Tarble, has assembled to stop Broly from entering the kingdom. After refusing to kneel to their new king, Broly makes quick work of the entire fleet, demolishing the soldiers and ships alike with his endless arsenal of strength and ki, finishing off with Tarble, who gets his chest stomped in, breaking all of his ribs and organs. He takes the throne and destroys the royal mural above it, revealing the original hidden behind. It's revealed that he had always been Bardock's most powerful weapon in his efforts to create the mighty Saiyan empire, and that only when his ambition outgrew Bardock's did he imprison him.

Broly breaks into Bardock's Vault, declaring the Dragon Radar as fake, the remains of Hatchiyack as weak, and Frieza's corpse 'smaller than he thought.’ He becomes briefly interested in the Dragon Ball, but declares the Eternal Flame the greatest of all. He smashes through the floor, revealing the mausoleum beneath. With the power of the Eternal Flame, Broly revives the fallen Saiyan soldiers from his time, along with his massive pet, the Ten Tails.

While sitting in his throne, Broly notes that when Bardock was king, he was his executioner, and that now he is king, Cabba is his executioner. Meanwhile, Paragus sneaks into the space pod hanger and destroys it. It’s revealed that Paragus has been slowly organizing a resistance against Broly. Without the pods, Broly cannot complete his conquest of all the galaxy, and he sends his soldiers to hunt down this resistance.

Goku awakens to a holographic presentation about Sadale and the God of Destruction Champa, the ruler of the planet and host of the gladiatorial Contest of Champions. Champa pays the drunk woman from earlier and obtains Goku, whom he decides to pit against his "champion" during a match. He states that Goku will earn his freedom, should he be the victor. Still restrained, Goku discovers Vegeta, who is mingling and getting on with Champa and his company quite well. Due to the unusual relativistic effects of how they both arrived, and the planet in general, Vegeta has been there for weeks, earning Champa's favor as well as unlocking a "new power."

Goku is thrown in to the gladiator's quarters where he meets Hit, an exiled assassin, and his friend Magetta. Hit states that no one has ever escaped or beaten this champion. Goku is prepared to fight this man. He finds the woman there who he recognizes as a Saiyan woman. When she is unsympathetic to the plight of her home, he calls her a coward before being forced to go out and fight.

The champion is revealed to be Naruto Uzumaki unconscious inside a full body chakra version of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Goku, overjoyed at seeing his former teammate, attempts to talk as well as negotiate with him but makes the mistake of calling him 'Naruto'. He even tries Akame's calming technique but it fails to work. The Nine-Tails overpowers him during the battle and is close to killing him but Goku sees a vision of his father causing strange powers to surge and his eyes to go silver. As the fight continues, the tables have turned and Goku is winning but Champa, unwilling to see Nine-Tails lose since he is a fan favorite, cheats and "fixes" the fight by activating the disc on Goku's neck.

Goku awakened in a luxurious quarters with Nine-Tails, who insists he be called Kurama. Kurama refuses to return to Earth because he believes he is hated there and therefore will not leave. He is shown to be friends and sparring partners with Caulifla (the drunkard from before) but agrees to trick her into coming to his quarters so Goku can steal her control device and remove the disc from his neck.

Goku tries to get to the jet that brought Kurama to Sadale but Kurama damages it, not wanting to leave. It is only when Goku accidentally activates a recording of Akame's attempts to get Kurama to turn the jet around that Kurama is pacified and transforms back to Naruto Uzumaki himself. Naruto has been in Kurama form since Hellawes and, as a result, Kurama had completely taken over. Because of this, Naruto was powerless and does not remember anything that has happened for the past two years since. He fears that if he becomes the Kurama again, Naruto will be gone forever.

Champa orders Caulifla and Vegeta to track Goku and Naruto down. Caulifla finds them but agrees to help, having knocked out Vegeta after he made her see a vision of herself and her sisters falling at Broly's hands millennia ago when she was the only survivor which caused her to turn to drink in misery on Sadale. Vegeta, not wanting to be stuck on Sadale, tells Goku he has Champa's security codes which give him control over his systems. Paragus has told Goku though hologram that they need to go through the largest portal in the sky (which has the unfortunate nickname 'The Devil's Anus') to escape but Caulifla's ship is not up to the job. They break Hit and Magetta out so they can begin a slave revolt as a distraction so they can steal Champa's personal ship.

Back on Planet Vegeta, Cabba has civilians rounded up to demand the location of Paragus. When nobody would speak, Broly tells him to execute a randomly chosen woman, though Cabba seems to be uncomfortable with this. Just before he can do so, a civilian agrees to tell Broly what he wants to know rather than see an innocent put to death.

Vegeta, inevitably, betrays them as they are escaping, transforming into Super Saiyan 4 to challenge Goku, but Goku quietly placed one of the discs on his back, leaving him being shocked on the floor. Goku tells his brother that he knows Vegeta will always be the evil Saiyan, but had hoped that he would have shown some capacity for growth before leaving (with Vegeta still being shocked and the remote intentionally left out of reach). However, Hit arrives with a group of slaves and turns off the device later. Vegeta takes leadership of the group and steals a large ship with them.

Goku, Caulifla and Naruto arrived on Planet Vegeta. Broly begins an assault on the fortress where Paragus is hiding the Saiyan civilians but Goku calls him back to the throne room to fight. Naruto and Caulifla fight to help the civilians escape via their ship but they are cut off from behind by the undead army and in front by the enormous Ten Tails. Despite knowing he may never turn back, Naruto transforms into the full body chakra form of Kurama to fight Ten Tails and Vegeta arrives with Hit and his Sadale allies. Goku is overpowered by Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan form even while using Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x20. Broly blasts him across the face, destroying his right eye. He is too much for Goku and once again Goku has a vision of his father. He tells him that Planet Vegeta is not a place, it is a people. Goku states he cannot defeat Broly with his power, but Bardock tells Goku that Super Saiyan isn't the only power in the universe, that the godly ki he has been absorbing ever since Majin Buu's invasion can be used for something much stronger than Super Saiyan forms.

With an incomplete version of Ultra Instinct, Goku manages to resist Broly and carves through his army but he realizes he is still too much for him. He and Vegeta agree that as long as Planet Vegeta exists Broly will grow more powerful. The prophecy says that in order for the apocalypse to happen, Planet Vegeta must fall and it is their place to ensure it, not to stop it. Goku and Caulifla hold Broly off while Vegeta goes to the trophy room to retrieve Frieza's corpse, noticing the Dragon Ball along the way (and presumably stealing it). Vegeta places the corpse in the eternal flame of Planet Vegeta, allowing Frieza to be reborn in a new Golden form.

The now more powerful Frieza begins laying waste to Planet Vegeta and even Broly is unable to stop him. He tries to stop the ship carrying the Saiyan refugees and the Sadale slaves from leaving but Cabba, who has sneaked aboard in disguise, betrays Broly and killed the rest of his soldiers before Broly kills him. Kurama attacks Golden Frieza but Goku calls him off. He carries Goku and Caulifla aboard the ship which escapes as Planet Vegeta is utterly destroyed, leaving only asteroids behind. Goku, wearing an eye patch, is crowned king and decides that they should set course for Earth to rebuild Planet Vegeta, perhaps in Norway as Bardock suggested.

In a post-credits scene, Vegeta asks Goku whether he will be welcome on Earth after the Battle of Amestria, and Goku assures that he will be. Goku is sure that everything will be fine until a much, much larger ship appears behind them. In the second post-credits scene, Champa is faced down by the slaves he had previously been a master of, tries to declare a revolting draw, but they are not impressed.
