Dragon Ball Super: Groundbreaking

Master Chapter & Saga Index

Written by Zena Airale / AraCypherElphieZA

Welcome to the central reading and archival index for Dragon Ball Super: Groundbreaking.

Because Groundbreaking has grown into a long-form multigenerational AU with more than a thousand chapters, multiple historical eras, supplementary materials, and an evolving internal reference system, this page serves as the primary navigation hub for the project.

Use this page to locate a chapter by saga, identify where major eras begin and end, follow the current canonical chapter numbering, and navigate the larger archive without having to scroll through the entire work.

Current published endpoint: Chapter 1380 — The Fluff Dam Opens
Latest publication represented here: August 17, 2026

The AO3 work contains a separate Prologue/Chapter 0 before Story Chapter 1. Because of this, AO3's position number is generally one higher than the story chapter number.

CHAPTER NUMBERING GUIDE

Prologue / Chapter 0

The AO3 work begins with:

Prologue (Chapter 0): Of Legends, Continents, and Copyrights

https://archiveofourown.org/works/51600826/chapters/150903745

The prologue occupies AO3's first chapter position.

Therefore:

AO3 Position 1 = Prologue / Chapter 0

AO3 Position 2 = Story Chapter 1

AO3 Position 3 = Story Chapter 2

and so forth.

When navigating the archive, make sure to distinguish between the AO3 position number and the canonical story chapter number.

Under the current numbering:

AO3 Position 1380 = Story Chapter 1379 — The CHIRRU Wristband

AO3 Position 1381 = Story Chapter 1380 — The Fluff Dam Opens

2026 NUMBERING CORRECTION

One important editorial correction affects the later Horizon's Rest numbering.

An unintended duplicate publication previously occupied Chapters 1139 and 1140.

The duplicate was consolidated so that:

Chapter 1139 is the single canonical chapter.

Beginning with the following chapter, the former numbering decreases by one.

In other words:

Former Chapter 1141 → Canonical Chapter 1140

Former Chapter 1142 → Canonical Chapter 1141

Former Chapter 1143 → Canonical Chapter 1142

and the corrected sequence continues forward from there.

This was an editorial correction, not a narrative retcon.

No story scenes, chronology, dialogue, characterization, relationships, or worldbuilding were removed or rewritten as a consequence of the correction. The duplicate publication was removed so that the chapter numbering once again represents the intended sequence of the work.

Readers using older indexes, downloaded copies, archival material, or older references may therefore occasionally encounter a chapter number that is one higher than the current canonical number.

When that happens, use the newest master index and current AO3 publication as the authoritative numbering.

COMPLETE PUBLISHED SAGA MAP

First Cosmic War Era

Philosophy of Power Saga

Chapters 1–25

The opening saga establishes Gohan's post-Tournament-of-Power search for a philosophy of strength, responsibility, identity, and balance.

Multiverse Council Saga

Chapters 26–40

The story expands from personal recovery into multiversal governance and the emerging political structures attempting to manage a fragile cosmos.

Omega's Return Saga

Chapters 41–74

Omega's return escalates the conflict and transforms the developing political crisis into an existential threat.

Armageddon Games Saga

Chapters 75–89

The Armageddon Games turn conflict into spectacle as the multiverse prepares for a tournament whose consequences extend far beyond competition.

Mystic Warrior Saga

Chapters 90–125

Gohan confronts the Mystic Warrior prophecy and the responsibilities others have attached to his power and identity.

Dawn of the Unified Cosmos Saga

Chapters 126–142

The aftermath begins a new experiment in multiversal reconstruction, education, and cooperation.

Shadows of the Fallen Sage Saga

Chapters 143–237

The history and ideological legacy of the Cosmic Sages become increasingly important as supposedly settled conflicts return through institutions, beliefs, and descendants.

Trials of Balance Saga

Chapters 238–259

The Academy and Cosmic Guardians confront increasingly difficult questions about whether balance can be taught, institutionalized, or imposed.

Second Cosmic War Era

Cosmic Reckoning Saga

Chapters 260–286

The Obsidian Dominion and the growing ideological struggle surrounding autonomy, authority, and cosmic governance push the multiverse into another war.

Third Cosmic War Era

Legacies of Balance Saga

Chapters 287–651

The aftermath of the Second Cosmic War becomes an enormous period of reconstruction, philosophical conflict, cultural development, family change, institutional experimentation, and renewed instability.

Rising Sparks Saga

Chapters 652–754

The next phase intensifies questions of inheritance and leadership as younger generations increasingly participate in shaping the future built by their predecessors.

Fourth Cosmic War Era

Cosmic Renaissance Saga

Chapters 755–941

The Fourth Cosmic War tests whether the multiverse can genuinely transform the systems that repeatedly reproduce conflict rather than merely rebuilding them under new names.

Order Reborn Saga

Chapters 942–964

Ideological disagreements over control, autonomy, guidance, and organic development fracture former alliances and place Goku and Gohan on opposing sides of a larger political divide.

Luminary Era

Echoes of Renewal Saga

Chapters 965–987

The aftermath of the Fourth Cosmic War forces the surviving institutions and families to confront what their attempts at stability have actually cost.

Eternal Horizon Saga

Chapters 988–1054

The story increasingly turns toward generational transition, life beyond warfare, family, memory, purpose, and the possibility of building a future that is not organized around the expectation of another apocalypse.

Horizon's Rest Era

Horizon's Rest Saga

Chapter 1055 onward

The wars are over.

The question is no longer simply whether the multiverse can survive.

The question is whether its people know how to live after survival.

Horizon's Rest follows the enormous social, cultural, familial, philosophical, technological, and personal consequences of everything that preceded it. Former warriors become witnesses, teachers, writers, parents, grandparents, archivists, artists, builders, and community members. Younger generations inherit institutions whose original purposes are increasingly distant memories.

Peace does not remove conflict.

Instead, conflict becomes quieter.

It appears through policy, accessibility, cultural expectations, memory, bureaucracy, relationships, public narratives, generational disagreement, care systems, and the pressure to perform recovery correctly.

The Horizon's Rest Saga is the current published saga.

Current endpoint: Chapter 1380 — The Fluff Dam Opens

PLANNED FUTURE SAGAS

The following sagas belong to the planned future structure of Dragon Ball Super: Groundbreaking.

Their chapter ranges are intentionally not assigned yet.

Publication must reach these stories before permanent chapter ranges are established.

Breath Beyond Stars Saga

A postwar multiverse continues learning how to exist when survival is no longer its organizing principle.

Path Unbroken Saga

The long work of recovery, memory, culture, and generational transition continues as leadership becomes increasingly decentralized and historical memory becomes something communities actively negotiate.

SOFTNESS CAPTURE WARS ERA

830–900

This is a planned future era.

Its chapter ranges have not yet been assigned.

Velvet Divide Saga

Softness, care, and accommodation increasingly become subjects of social expectation and political disagreement.

Arcade Conundrum Saga

Systems originally associated with regulation and comfort are increasingly commodified, gamified, and transformed into mechanisms of behavioral expectation.

Bloom Reclaimed Saga

Communities begin reclaiming care as something shared rather than something that must be earned, purchased, scored, or performed correctly.

HOW TO USE THIS INDEX

If you are reading Groundbreaking for the first time, you do not need to memorize the saga structure.

The simplest route is:

Start with Chapter 1 and continue chronologically.

Use this page when you need to:

• Find the beginning or ending of a saga

• Determine which historical era contains a chapter

• Return to a section you previously read

• Cross-reference the wiki

• Locate material mentioned in discussions or analysis

• Check whether an older chapter citation uses superseded numbering

• Navigate the project without scrolling through the entire AO3 chapter menu

REFERENCE AUTHORITY

Because Dragon Ball Super: Groundbreaking has developed continuously since 2023, some older reference material reflects earlier stages of the project.

When two reference sources conflict, use the most recently updated canonical material unless a page explicitly identifies itself as a historical snapshot.

As a general navigation principle:

Current published story continuity

↓

Current continuity documentation and master index

↓

Current wiki material

↓

Newer supplementary/reference material

↓

Older supplementary/reference material

↓

Historical drafts and archived documentation

Older material is not necessarily being erased.

Much of it remains valuable as a record of how Groundbreaking developed.

However, historical documentation should not automatically override later continuity.

ABOUT THE WIKI

The Dragon Ball Super: Groundbreaking wiki is intended to function as the project's searchable continuity encyclopedia.

Because the story has grown enormously, some pages may currently be incomplete or outdated.

Readers are encouraged to help document:

• Characters

• Supporting and background characters

• Relationships

• Locations

• Organizations

• Political institutions

• Species and cultures

• Technologies

• Transformations and abilities

• Philosophical concepts

• Historical events

• Saga events

• Chapter appearances

• Accessibility systems

• Terminology

• Family structures

• Timeline information

• Retcons and editorial corrections

• Continuity changes

• References to relevant chapters

You do not need to have read the entire story to contribute.

Someone who knows twenty chapters extremely well can document those twenty chapters more effectively than someone trying to remember thirteen hundred chapters simultaneously.

The wiki is therefore intended to become an increasingly collaborative archive while remaining subject to continuity review where necessary.

ARCHIVAL NOTE

Dragon Ball Super: Groundbreaking has been written and expanded across several years.

As a result, the project itself now has a history.

Older summaries, Daizenshuu material, wiki revisions, supplemental documents, chapter compilations, and archived references may preserve ideas that were later expanded, reframed, corrected, or superseded.

Those materials remain part of the project's development history even when they no longer describe the newest version of continuity.

This master index exists to provide a stable point of entry into that archive.

When in doubt:

Check the newest index.

Check the current chapter.

Check the wiki.

Then follow the citations backward.
