As the battle reached its zenith within the video, the Golden Oozaru Baby—now standing as a towering monument of Tuffle malice—clashed once more with Super Saiyan 4 Goku.
The tenfold increase in power from the Blutz Waves had completely erased the previous gap. Where Goku had once dominated, he now found himself struggling against the sheer, crushing weight of the Great Ape's Ki.
The shockwaves from their collisions leveled the surrounding landscape. Pan, seeing her grandfather being pushed back, rushed in with desperate courage, but against such God-tier power, she was like an ant trying to halt a landslide.
Even the arrival of Gohan, Goten, and Trunks offered little relief. Despite their Saiyan heritage, their standard transformations were eclipsed by the primal pressure of the fight.
Goku, his breathing heavy but his tactical mind sharp, realized that brute force alone wouldn't bridge the remaining gap. He needed to hit his peak state.
"Transfer your Ki to me!" he shouted to his sons and Trunks. "I need everything you've got to break through my limits!"
With Oob throwing himself into the fray to buy every precious second, the ritual began. The three Saiyans placed their hands on Goku's back, funneling their energy into the crimson-furred warrior.
Narrator: "Pay close attention to this scene, viewers; it will be on the test later."
The audience across the dimensions—from the ninja villages to the pirate seas—straightened their posture, committing the Ki-transfer to memory. They knew that when the narrator spoke of a "test," the stakes were absolute.
Oob fought valiantly, but the Golden Oozaru was a force of nature. A massive explosion rocked the battlefield, leaving Gohan and the others battered and unconscious on the ground. When the smoke cleared, Goku and Pan were gone. Baby let out a guttural roar of triumph, believing he had finally snuffed out the Saiyan spark.
But a new, even more terrifying Ki signature suddenly flared in the sky. Goku descended, cradling Pan, his aura now a vibrant, surging flame of pure power. After absorbing the Ki of his family, he had returned to his absolute zenith.
He handed Pan to Mr. Satan with a calm, focused instruction to retreat. Then, he turned to face the monster. The momentum of the battle shifted instantly. Baby's ultimate attacks, which had previously threatened the planet, were now swatted aside like mere nuisances. With a roar that shook the foundations of the dimension, Goku unleashed a 10x Kamehameha. The crimson beam engulfed the Great Ape, slamming him into the earth and knocking him into a state of unconsciousness.
Baby was defeated, but a grim dilemma remained. Goku stood over the fallen giant, his eyes tracing the features of his best friend, Vegeta, trapped beneath the Tuffle's skin.
"Uncle Goku! Do it!" Trunks' voice cracked with agony. "You have to finish him!"
Trunks understood the logic of the battlefield. To kill the parasite, the host had to be destroyed. Even though it was his own father, he believed there was no other way to save the universe.
In the viewing room of the spaceship, the real Vegeta's face turned a shade of crimson that rivaled Goku's fur. "My own son is telling Kakarot to execute me? How 'filial' of him!"
Sengoku: "The burden on Trunks must be unbearable. It's a cold, tactical necessity. As long as Baby is fused with Vegeta, they are a single target."
Garp: "Aye, it's a bitter pill. At least they have the Dragon Balls to clean up the mess afterward, but watching your father die is never easy."
Kurosaki Ichigo: "Being able to revive someone doesn't make the act of killing them any less traumatic. If there's another way, they have to find it."
Zhang Chulan: "Exactly. If they could just force Baby out, Vegeta would be safe. But Baby isn't an amateur; he knows Vegeta is his ultimate hostage shield."
Duanmu Yan: "The parasite won't leave willingly. He knows the moment he steps out of that Saiyan body, he's nothing more than a target for Goku."
Vegeta: "Tch! I'd rather take a final blow from Trunks or Gohan than be 'saved' or killed by Kakarot! I will never allow myself to be humiliated like this!"
Frieza: "Oh ho ho! Still so prideful, Vegeta? You're a giant monkey at the moment; beggars can't be choosers regarding who puts them out of their misery."
Yamcha: "Face it, Vegeta. Goku is the only one with enough power to actually pierce that Great Ape hide. Just take the hit and hope for a quick revival."
Back in the video, Goku's eyes snapped open. He didn't hesitate. He lunged toward the unconscious Great Ape. Trunks turned his head away, bracing for the sound of his father's end.
But the expected sound of a body disintegrating never came. Instead, a sharp shink echoed through the air. Trunks looked back to see the Golden Oozaru's tail falling to the ground, severed with surgical precision. Without the tail to anchor the transformation, the massive body began to rapidly shrink, reverting to its human form.
Suddenly, a muffled scream of agony erupted from within Vegeta's body.
"Damn it! My own form expanded with this body!" Baby's voice shrieked in terror. "But I can't shrink with it!"
The physical laws of the fusion were backfiring. As Vegeta's body returned to its normal size, the space inside became a crushing vice for the Tuffle parasite. Faced with being pulverized into jelly, Baby was forced to abandon his host, bursting out of Vegeta's body in a desperate bid for survival.
