Volume 17 of the Dragon Ball Super manga, God of Destruction Power, collects Chapters 73 to 76 and is almost entirely one long fight — the battle the Heeters engineered between Granolah and the Saiyans. Goku falls to techniques he cannot read, Vegeta answers with a brand-new form born from a God of Destruction’s teaching, and just as the battle reaches its finishing blow, an old Namekian arrives with a forty-year-old truth that changes what the fight was ever about.
What this volume collects
Four chapters cover the duel on Planet Cereal from first exchange to interruption. Each chapter has its own guide in the complete chapter index:
- Chapter 73: Goku vs. Granolah
- Chapter 74: Vegeta vs. Granolah
- Chapter 75: God of Destruction Power
- Chapter 76: The Fate of the Saiyans
The story inside
Granolah is a nightmare matchup for Goku. His wished-for power comes with a sniper’s eye that reads vital points through any defence, and his techniques — including a clone that lets him test opponents at no risk — are built from the fighting styles of the whole universe. Ultra Instinct’s automatic dodging meets an opponent who attacks the openings the body cannot help but leave, and Chapter 73 ends with Goku down. Vegeta, who has watched the whole thing with growing interest, steps in less like a rescuer and more like a man who has been waiting for exactly this kind of challenge.
Chapter 75 is the volume’s headline. Vegeta reveals what Beerus taught him: where Ultra Instinct draws power from calm and avoidance, a God of Destruction’s power grows through destruction itself. Vegeta’s new form — Ultra Ego — becomes stronger the more damage he takes and the hotter his battle spirit burns, the mirror image of Goku’s path in every way. It nearly works. Granolah, pushed past his limits, awakens the full potential of his wish and turns the fight again, and as he charges a final attack meant to end the Saiyans for good, Monaito reaches the battlefield with the one fact that can stop him: the Saiyan who found him as a baby did not kill his people. He saved them. The duel is staged throughout as a study in opposites — Granolah’s precision against Goku’s instinct, then his endurance against Vegeta’s appetite for punishment — two philosophies of power colliding in the same arena.
