Aios explains that there are now too many timelines, and that she wishes to eliminate most of them to restore balance. She brings in a number of new fighters from other timelines and universes before beginning the next round of the tournament, in which the fighters are scattered across a pocket dimension and confronted by the four cloaked warriors, each of whom possesses another Time Fairy: whoever takes the Fairy from each cloaked warrior will ensure that their team can move on to the next round. The cloaked warriors are revealed to be alternate versions of Piccolo, Future Gohan, and Bardock, as well as an unknown alien woman, who have all been empowered by Aios using the Dark Dragon Balls. Gohan and Piccolo are challenged by the alternate Piccolo, while Vegeta, Hit and Yamcha face off against the unknown female warrior. Xeno Trunks continues battling the alternate Future Gohan, who reveals that Aios recruited him from a timeline where Future Bulma and Future Trunks were killed by the androids. Xeno Trunks manages to overpower Future Gohan and tries to reason with him, while Goku and Jiren are confronted by the alternate Bardock, who powers up into an empowered version of Super Saiyan 3.
