Starbeard witnesses Goku's rapid growth and adaptation and challenges him, "Goku, are you ready for the next challenge?" Goku confidently responds, "Absolutely, bring it on. I hope it's more challenging than this." Without warning, Starbeard suddenly unleashes an invisible force at Goku, which he struggles to react due to the gravity field. Starbeard then informs Goku that he will continue to shoot invisible force at him until he dodges every attack without using his ultra-instinct technique. Starbeard relentlessly attacks Goku, he barely manages to block the attacks due to the heaviness he feels from the gravity field. The rigorous training continues for an hour, after which Goku sits down to rest. Starbeard stops the field and instructs Goku to take a break, promising to continue later.

After finishing his meal, Goku retires to a room created by Starbeard to contemplate his next move. As he drifts into sleep, he dreams of the teachings of all his masters from the very beginning.

Goku wakes up and starts his training once again. This time, he sits in a meditation position while Starbeard activates the gravitational field. Without any movement, Goku stays in his meditative position to endure while Starbeard launches his invisible projectiles. After half an hour, Goku starts dodging all projectiles with ease, and Starbeard checks on his condition, finding that instead of resisting the gravitational field, Goku is becoming a part of it. He realizes that Goku has replicated the training he did with Mr. Popo at a young age.

Starbeard then tells Goku that his last challenge is to spar with Gladiator for the rest of his days in his base. Gladiator steps into the gravitational field and walks towards Goku, explaining how the field after every 5 inches of height increases the pull with 5 times more pressure than before. Goku takes his iconic fighting pose and Gladiator punches him, saying that this is just the warm-up.

For the rest of the week, Goku only spars and rests, and the gravitational field becomes normal for him. On the last day, Goku bids farewell to Gladiator and Starbeard, leaving him in Anodyne under Verdona's care for the next week.
