Goku & Vegeta Can't Beat Dragon Ball Super's Villain - Theory Explained

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Dragon Ball Super chapter 75!

A combination of a favored Dragon Ball Super formula along with the latest chapter's closing scene creates the impression that Goku and Vegeta will be forced to team up with their current enemy, the Cerealian Granolah, to defeat Gas of the Heeter Force.

The last few chapters of Dragon Ball Super have seen Earth's mightiest heroes locked in a deadly battle against Granolah as the villain tries desperately to enact vengeance on the Saiyans for eradicating his entire species in a stunning display of bloody genocide years ago, leaving him as the sole Cerealian survivor. Goku and Vegeta may have been just children at the time, but their kin perpetrated the atrocious act as part of their ongoing effort as Frieza's hired mercenaries to expand the tyrant's reach across the galaxy.

Based on previous arcs, it's clear that the fight is reaching an ending point and that Granolah will triumph. But with the current saga just having started not too long ago, something needs to keep the story going without it ending prematurely. Dragon Ball Super usually stays true to the following formula: Goku and Vegeta face off against a powerful enemy. Whoever fights first is beaten, allowing the other to take his place and then lose. But a variable is added to the mix that interrupts the fight, forcing all parties to resume their battle later. In the previous arc, Vegeta is quickly defeated by Moro the Planet Eater, but draws out the fight in an unprecedented way so that Goku is unable to gain the upper hand.  Later, it becomes clear that Moro is much too powerful, forcing Vegeta and Goku to retreat. The only reason why they survive is because Moro holds no personal grudge against them and actually respects their power, allowing them to live so long as they don't interfere with him.

In the current Granolah the Survivor saga, Goku fights and loses against the Cerealian first, allowing Vegeta to take over and transform into Ultra Ego. But the Saiyan Prince has already been bested. So what will be the variable that will inevitably put the fight on hold? The answer lies in Granolah's employers, the Heeter Force, a powerful intel group. The Heeters originally hired Granolah as their bounty hunter, but when the Cerealian became the strongest warrior thanks to the Dragon Balls, he coerced them to lure in Goku and Vegeta. The Heeters obviously view Granolah as a threat now and have spoken about dealing with him. They recently put their plot into action during chapter 75 when they begin their search for the Dragon Balls. Although they haven't revealed their plan, it's likely they'll make the same wish as Granolah, having seen its effectiveness, and use it to further empower Gas, their strongest fighter.

Although Granolah clearly despises Vegeta and Goku, Vegeta's latest attempt to quell the villain's thirst for vengeance ostensibly reached him on some level when the Saiyan reveals that Frieza also destroyed their own planet. This divulsion of critical information obviously strikes a chord with the Cerealian, though, he is able to brush it aside. That said, Granolah's associate Oatmeel has been speaking to him via a headpiece, and Vegeta clearly swayed Oatmeel enough to voice his concerns to about the current mission. The fact that the villain Granolah later takes his headpiece off to silence the conflicting sentiments creates the impression that they may have been effectively talking him out of his need for revenge.

Although it's unclear when and how it will happen in Dragon Ball Super, it's likely that either Vegeta and/or Goku will convince Granolah to relinquish his firm grasp on vengeance or that the Heeters' treachery will cause the Cerealian to see the error of his ways and team up with his former enemies.
