Rise of the Saiyans Arc

The Rise of the Saiyans Saga/Arc is the fifth installment from the Dragon Ball Super series.

The main plot concerns the arrival of a group of rogue Saiyans who were away on a mission over by the southern galaxy when Frieza blew up Planet Vegeta. These Saiyans gained an extraordinary power on a strange planet in the galaxy, which multiplied their strength. Their leader, Orion, stated he had a power level of 132,000. At this point of time, 132,000 was nothing to the likes of Yamcha and Tien. Orion then discovers the Super Saiyan transformation, from studying Vegeta's fight with Cabba during the Universal Tournament. Orion later taught the technique to the other Saiyans, and they began to terrorize the Southern Galaxy for profit.

Admirers of the Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta. The Group of Saiyans decide to visit Planet Earth to request his leadership. Vegeta brutally declines, and states that he's not in the planet business anymore. The Saiyans are outraged. They discuss how the Prince of the mightiest race could become soft. The Saiyans then leave the planet without causing any trouble.

A few months pass and the Earth is still at peace. Suddenly, Orion and the others return to fight with Vegeta, but upon arriving, they are greeted by Gohan. The Saiyans discover that Gohan is a hybrid and Torva attempts to fight him. Torva puts up a good fight against Gohan. Gohan finally decides to transform into a Super Saiyan and Torva soon follows.

Startled and anxious by Torva's transformation and power, Gohan decides to end the battle quickly, by delivering a Super Kamehameha. Torva gets hit by this attack, which makes Orion intervene and land a powerful punch which knocks Gohan out.

Goku teleports to Gohan's lifeless body and chats with Orion. Goku suggests that the Saiyans should leave otherwise they will be fighting a God. Aisha laughs and then refers to themselves as Gods. Goku smirks and transformations into a Super Saiyan.

Aisha steps up and transforms into a Super Saiyan. Goku is impressed but soon gets straight into a combo of punches and kicks, in which Aisha blocks and retaliates. Goku becomes awfully surprised by Aisha's combat abilities. Aisha manages to land a kick to his left cheek which spirals him into the rocky debris below. Goku regains consciousness instantly and rises above her. Goku then gives his last warning and transforms into a Super Saiyan 3.

Orion interrupts the battle and demands that Aisha surrender. Aisha promptly agrees and Orion confronts Goku. He glances at him, as Goku searches his true power. Orion then transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 himself. He then explains that his group found a powerful artifact that belonged to the Gods of Destruction on the mysterious planet in the Southern Galaxy. This artifact was known as the War Totem. The War Totem fully unlocks the Warrior's potential, abilities and transformations, aswell as granting a power boost similar to the most powerful warriors in the Universe. He goes on to say that the mythical Lord Beerus must have stored some reserved energy into the Totem, in which they all shared.

As Orion is a high-class warrior, he had the most potential unlocked, granting him the access to Super Saiyan 3. Goku asks why the Saiyans have come. Aisha responds that both Goku and Vegeta are a disgrace to the Saiyan race, and that they would be considered traitors if Planet Vegeta was still alive.

Orion promptly interrupts Aisha and states that infact, he wants to be the strongest Saiyan in the Universe. Creating a new purpose for himself and his force. They can rule the likes of Lord Beerus if they continue to train their power they possess from the War Totem.

Goku engages in conflict against Orion, and gets the best of him easily. Orion recovers and launches a ki blast at Goku, which Goku deflects. Goku then uses instant transmission to appear behind Orion and then uses the One-Inch Punch technique to absorb the energy out of Orion. Aisha then shouts for Togo to interrupt, in which he does and suddenly knocks Goku into a nearby mountain. Orion finally regains consciousnesses.

Goku, whilst in the mountain, interrogates Togo's power, suggesting that they are holding more of their energy back. Low from the effects of the Super Saiyan 3 transformation, Goku reverts back to base form.

He then flies back over to confront the Saiyans. Togo suggests that Goku should transform into his Blue state they saw in the tournament. Goku agrees and transforms into a Super Saiyan Blue. Togo then launches a Blutz Waves ball into the sky. From doing this, all the Saiyans except Goku turn into Golden Great Apes, but shortly after, they revert into the Super Saiyan 4 form.

Goku is unconcerned about this power, as he states that he is still immensely stronger. Super Saiyan 4 Togo grins and attempts to attack him. Goku avoids all punches and lands a powerful punch into Togo's torso. Togo stumbles backwards but continues to laugh. Goku continues to land attacks for an estimated 10 minutes before Togo stops the fight. He then explains that in this form, he has enough power to access God Ki. Upon doing this, he activates it inside his Super Saiyan 4 form, becoming a permanent Super Saiyan God.

Goku and Togo battle it out, but Goku starts to get dominated by Togo's surprising power in the Super Saiyan God form.
