## Plot

***NOTE: To keep things clear between the two Gokus, the Goku from the Dragon Ball Super Manga will be referred to as "Super!Goku", and the Goku from Dragon Ball GT will be referred to as "GT!Goku"***

Age 790, GT Timeline, GT!Goku tries to stop Omega Shenron from launching a Negative Karma Ball, to no avail. GT!Goku is then engulfed and seemingly killed off by the Ki sphere, only for then emerging from the crater created by the attack, amassing an Universal Spirit Bomb. He tells the Shadow Dragon that he has lost, immediately unleashing the massive Ki sphere, which disintegrates Omega Shenron.
Age 780, Super Timeline, during the Zeno Expo, the Grand Minister announces Super!Goku's defeat at the hands of Toppo, much to the chagrin of Beerus. The Saiyan congratulates his enemy, saying how he needs to defeat him in the upcoming tournament if he wants to have a chance at victory, with Toppo rebutting how he's not the strongest asset of his Universe, indicating "Jiren" as the one he's second to, leaving Super!Goku in utter disbelief.
The Grand Minister approaches, commenting how the Omni-Kings have taken a liking to him, and that they have a special request for him. After healing him, the Grand Minister explains that the Omni-Kings want Super!Goku to fight someone else, but not saying who, as to not "spoil the surprise".

Returning to the GT Timeline, GT!Goku has taken his leave with Shenron, remarking how it has been almost 50 years since everything started, and that he'll miss these times. The Eternal Dragon interrupts him, saying how his journey hasn't ended yet, due to the fact Shenron has been summoned by divine beings not of this timeline to test his strength.
GT!Goku rises up, wondering why he has been summoned, but remarks how if they want a good fight, then he's game. After absorbing the Dragon Balls, he is transported in front of the Grand Minister himself, alongside both Omni-Kings.
The Grand Minister welcomes him, telling that he's at the Palace of the King Of All. The Omni-Kings wonder why this version of Goku is a kid, with the Grand Minister explaining how he has been mistakenly turned into a kid by the Earth's Dragon Ball. The Grand Minister fixes this, aging GT!Goku back to an adult. GT!Goku appreciates this, realizing how his strength has noticeably increased. The Grand Minister further explains why he has been summoned here: to fight someone very strong, which is revealed to be Super!Goku. Super!Goku excitedly arrives next to his counterpart as a Super Saiyan God, thus completely unnoticed by his counterpart, which wonders why he couldn't sense his Ki and of the "red hair".

As the Grand Minister flies off, he tells the two Gokus to fight to their heart's content and to use their full power and, in case something fatal were to happen, he can rewind time backwards. Super!Goku thanks the Grand Minister for this opportunity, remarking how he needs to win this match if he wants to have a chance in the Tournament of Power, with GT!Goku remarking he shouldn't take him lightly.
The two Saiyans starting to do battle, with Super!Goku almost immediately powering up to a Super Saiyan. With this form not closing the gap in power between them, Super!Goku powers up to Super Saiyan 2, before being forced to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, managing to force his counterpart into transforming into a Super Saiyan. After GT!Goku manages to put his other self into a stalemate, Super!Goku powers up to Super Saiyan God, nullifying GT!Goku's assault, who is shocked by the pressure generated by the transformation. Super!Goku powers down to Super Saiyan 3, saying how it is not time to use that form, restarting his onslaught.
After pushing his counterpart to the ground, GT!Goku asks of the red-haired form, with Super!Goku explaining what "Super Saiyan God" is, something GT!Goku is not ready to face. GT!Goku congratulates his alternative self for arriving so far, with Super!Goku answering how he accessed such form via a ritual, and not by training. From this, GT!Goku speculates how, during the battle with Omega Shenron, Gogeta had access to this form because of his red hair and his unique aura, due to the fact he was given energy from Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Pan, before fusing with Vegeta, reaching the necessary number of Saiyan to undergo the Ritual. He quickly dismisses this theory though, as others could feel Gogeta's Ki.
GT!Goku smiles, thinking how he, a "mere mortal", has become strong enough to force his enemy into a godly transformation, with Super!Goku retorting how he better not underestimate him, as no regular Super Saiyan form can beat what he is. GT!Goku answers that he's not relying on transformations, subsequently attacking.

After GT!Goku manages to block an enormous Kamehameha unleashed by Super!Goku, the latter decides to ascend to his godly form. After blocking a Kamehameha unleashed by his counterpart, Super!Goku announces the form, immediately returning to the battlefield, overwhelming his enemy, forcing GT!Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, turning the tables on Super!Goku.
Super!Goku comments how there's something off about his counterpart's Super Saiyan 3 form, quickly realizing how is counterpart learned to use the Super Saiyan 3 transformation with barely any Ki loss. Because of this, Super!Goku immediately transforms into Super Saiyan Blue, shocking his counterpart. He presents the form to GT!Goku, remarking that even a tenth of this form's power is enough to beat him. GT!Goku comments that he still cannot feel his Ki, but that the pressure is increasing by the second. GT!Goku is soon bested by his alternate self's godly prowess, bringing him to ascend to Super Saiyan 4. GT!Goku smugly claims how his counterpart has done it, and that things will get ugly from there.

GT!Goku easily overpowers his alternate self, before sending him crashing into a mountain, remarking how that's what he gets for underestimating him. Super!Goku quickly returns before his counterpart, powering up his Super Saiyan Blue form even further, claiming how even one hit will be enough to defeat GT!Goku.
The latter merely lectures him to open his eyes: he is a Saiyan which imitates a God, while GT!Goku is a Saiyan connected to their primal roots. He explains how he was able to utilize Super Saiyan 3 with barely any strain, revealing how the tail was essential into this, commenting how, in the end, Nappa, Raditz and Vegeta were right in hindsight: a Saiyan's ultimate potential is achieved via the tail, something Super!Goku lacks.
Super!Goku retorts that he'll prove him wrong, immediately attacking. After a short bout, Super!Goku decides to utilize his strongest form: the Perfected Super Saiyan Blue form. GT!Goku commends him for his enormous strength, much higher than his, but he refuses to give up, remarking that his counterpart's form must have a weakness and that he will find it.
After another brief struggle, the two Gokus comment on the form of the other, with GT!Goku remarking how Perfected Blue's required mass concentration will be his downfall, while Super!Goku says how Super Saiyan 4 barely uses any energy from his foe. Realizing how strenght isn't the only way to best someone in the upcoming Tournament of Power, Super!Goku decides to test something. After punching away GT!Goku, Super!Goku puts a vase on the ground, immediately performing the Evil Containment Wave on his counterpart. But, right before he's trapped, GT!Goku uses a Solar Flare, blinding his alternate self and destroying the vase, saying to Super!Goku that the Evil Containment Wave won't work, immediately counterattacking.

As the battle goes on, GT!Goku decides to use his full power, unleashing a Dragon Fist on Super!Goku. Unable to sense him, GT!Goku wonders if he has won, with Super!Goku emerging, claiming how his foe did a number of him, but that it changes nothing as he's still weaker than he is. Despite this, as his stamina is starting to diminish due to Perfected Blue, Super!Goku decides to summon an Hakai. After dodging the first one, Super!Goku appears before GT!Goku with another Hakai ready, which GT!Goku manages to dodge by teleporting.
GT!Goku wonders what these orbs are, as they feel "different", with the Grand Minister answering that the orbs are Energy of Destruction, and that it was a smart move for him to dodge them. The Grand Minister commends Super!Goku for being able to harness this power, but also says that it must have took a great toll on him.
Super!Goku claims how he is a lot stronger than GT!Goku, with the latter answering how power is not a factor and that his stamina greatly dimished. As Super!Goku is barely able to attack, GT!Goku manages to quickly attack, before his counterpart unleashes his aura, summoning a Spirit Bomb. Super!Goku agrees with his alternate self's comment on Perfected Blue, with the concentration it needs putting him at a disadvantage, but saying how Super Saiyan 4 doesn't lack any sort of weakness, promptly throwing the Spirit Bomb at his counterpart. GT!Goku wonders as to why he has thrown a Spirit Bomb, immediately dodging it and launching it away, not before noticing how it was aiming for his tail.
GT!Goku congratulates his other self for having lucked out while approaching him, before landing on a mine, which immediately explodes. Super!Goku answers that he was the one to luck out, and that he was not aiming for his tail in the first place, explaining how the landmines released by the Ki sphere were the "real deal", something his counterpart did not notice as he was asking why Super!Goku launched the Spirit Bomb.

GT!Goku emerges from the explosion, saying how Super!Goku managed to even things out a bit, with the latter despairing how that wasn't enough and that he's starting to lose consciousness. As both of them are on the ropes, with their stamina rapidly draining, they rush one another for a final attack, ending up to headbutt one another. The resulting clash creates a gigantic explosion, which makes hundreds of rocks fly up in air, where the two Gokus crash.
GT!Goku rises up, sitting in his own blood, saying how Super Saiyan 4 is nowhere near Super Saiyan Blue in terms of power but, thanks to his form barely having any drawbacks, he had a chance in this fight. Super!Goku powers down to his base form, subsequently falling towards the ground, as he falls into unconsciousness. As GT!Goku is announced as the winner, Super!Goku thinks that his counterpart may be right, and that there may be more to achieving just strength, realizing that the Tournament of Power cannot be won if he only aims to be the strongest there is. He concludes his soliloquy by saying that, now, he gets it.

As the credits play, Super!Goku is seen rising up once again, before appearing in front of his counterpart, who is still able to somehow move. GT!Goku claims how he's not even conscious anymore, and that's moving out of sheer determination, revealing that Super!Goku has tapped into Ultra Instinct Sign.
GT!Goku commends his other self as "amazing", but this long battle has left him with no energy to spend. After generating a strong burst of wind, Super!Goku falls to the ground, unconscious.
