Though disappointed, Caulifla is determined to defeat Goku alongside Kale and become Super Saiyan 3, and Kale is also determined to get stronger herself, powering up to become Berserker Super Saiyan, worrying everyone watching. An excited Goku takes a fighting stance as Kale stares him down.
While Kale is transforming into her Berserker Super Saiyan form, Goku recognizes the form as the form she took earlier in the tournament. The level of Kale's energy is enough to make Jiren's hands flinch during his meditation, as well as distract Vegeta and Top from their battle. Also this energy resonates in Broly waking his dormant form up from it's slumber and the energy makes his form go from nonexistent to halfway there While Top comments that Saiyans are not to be underestimated, Vegeta remarks that among the Saiyans, he is at the top, angrily punching Top away when the Pride Trooper leader again rebuffs such claims. Caulifla, amazed at Kale's power, goes up to her and tells her she finally made that energy her own, extending her hand. Kale grabs it, but forcefully grips it, enough to partially destroy the ring under them. Caulifla asks Kale if she can recognize her, acknowledging Kale as not only her protégé, but her true friend, and saying that together they should pose as the greatest threat to all the universes. Hearing this, Kale suddenly gains full control of her power, attaining her True Legendary Super Saiyan form, which surprises Goku.
Goku realizes that his body cannot stop shaking, saying it must be Kale's Saiyan instinct. He says he has to be careful or things could go bad for him. The two sides start their battle, and Goku is overwhelmed by the two's combination attacks. When Caulifla tries to attack Goku, he uses the Solar Flare to blindside her and cause her to crash. With her brute power, Kale pushes Goku back, angry at the older Saiyan's "dirty trick".
Cell is shown launching random blasts everywhere. Dyspo remarks that he can't deal with Cell right now and retreats. Cell is confronted by Catopesra, introducing himself as a policeman of Universe 3. When Catopesra begins to change his mode, he is knocked aside by Kale and Goku, the latter still struggling against Kale's power. Kale tries to knock Goku off, but she is knocked back by a Ki Blast shot from Goku's foot. Frieza, still watching, is impressed with Caulifla and Kale, saying he will now be fighting them. Caulifla tries to attack Cell as revenge for knocking Cabba off, and Cell tries to retaliate, but he is stopped by Goku. Goku tells him that it's still his turn, and Cell complies, telling him to lose already, also interested in watching Saiyans pummel each other around as a form of "theater". Catopesra finishes his interrupted transformation, assuming his "Whirlwind Speed Mode" which increases his speed 300-fold. He runs away, daring Cell to follow him, but Cell ignores him.
Goku resumes his match with Caulifla and Kale, excited to fight them with everything he has. Caulifla creates a smokescreen, causing Goku to focus and sense the attacking Kale's ki, however, it is a diversion as Kale grabs Goku and keeps him in place while Caulifla unleashes a flurry of attacks on him. Goku flips, causing Kale to crash on the ground and release him, and then attempts to use Instant Transmission, but Caulifla uses her senses to anticipate Goku's reappearance and attack him. Goku acknowledges Kale and Caulifla as the perfect tag team, then transforms into Saiyan God. Though momentarily shocked, the girls insist that they still have the advantage. Goku attacks with several Finger Beams, which the Saiyan duo dodges, and despite the two's combination attacks, Goku remains undaunted, knocking around Caulifla with single blows and even casually emerging from Kale's massive energy blast before kicking her aside. Caulifla and Kale try blasting Goku from both sides, but the more experienced Saiyan pushes back their attacks with blasts of his own. While Kale is struggling against her blast, Caulifla tries to run from hers, noticing it's tracking her. Kale deflects her blast but watches as Caulifla takes a direct hit. Goku compliments the two on their performance but says they still need more training, opting to fight them again after the tournament.
Caulifla, realizing they are no longer a match for Goku on their own, tells Kale to take out "that thing" they received before the tournament. While Goku fires a Kamehameha, he shatters the ring around them, but the two are enveloped by a strange glow. With the birth of a new warrior, Kefla, she makes her way back to the ring. Champa is ecstatic that the two used their last resort, the Potara, revealing he gave them the earrings before heading to the Tournament of Power. Kefla powers up, exclaiming she feels great, and Goku comments on her power, saying it's so massive he cannot sense a limit to it. Indeed, Vegeta is distracted by their energy to the point where Top knocks him down, urging him to focus on his own battle. Kefla decides to attack Goku, but she's so fast Goku cannot follow her movements. After a brief scuffle, Kefla easily overpowers Goku while mocking his once-effective attacks.
However she is blindsided by Tiencha who's massive power is almost as high as Kefla's once she gets up she sees there's another fused warrior just like her she abandons Goku in favor of this new warrior Goku was going to get up and fight Kefla but Granolah stops him then whispers in his ear not to do anything as this is all part of Gohan's plan Goku nods then drops out of Saiyan God to recoup his strength meanwhile Kefla and Tiencha are starting to battle it out at first they just do regular hand to hand testing each other's speed strength reaction time reflexes and fighting skills Tiencha is the superior fighter in terms of skill and two other categories but Kefla has him slightly beat in power speed and strength however it's clear that Tiencha is more experienced in being a fusion than Kefla is the longer that she fights him the more evident it becomes.
Now they start to ramp it up and begin clashing all over the arena they no longer hold back or pull any punches their clashes are so intense that everyone stops fighting and Jiren actually watches their battle eager to see who will be the victor one other thing that's becoming apparent the longer they fight is that Kefla is trying very hard to guess and balance out both of the people that makeup this fusion's power speed strength and skills in hand to hand combat despite learning while she fights she can tell that this guy has already created a flawless fighting style just for this fusion not only that but his power is rising the longer that they fight so is hers but his seems to be reacting to hers little does she know that he's using a technique to steal energy from her so that he can increase his speed strength and every other physical ability he has which is what he does once they separate to catch their breaths he puts that energy into his body as well as his reflexes and reaction time.
Tiencha has essentially powered himself up the equivalent of that of a Super Saiyan 2 however he is being pushed back by Kefla. Tiencha comments that he did not expect a Potara Fusion, and Kefla powers up, exclaiming that her bubbling power is out of this world and that nobody can stop her. After hitting Tiencha twice, Tiencha comments that Kefla is far stronger than Caulifla and Kale individually. Beerus is furious that Champa is cheating, exclaiming that fusion should be against the rules. Champa advises Beerus to use Potara himself, and Beerus says he won't subject to cheating to get disqualified. Zeno say that fusion is amazing, and Grand Minister declares that fusion is no longer against the rules. Beerus happily snatches the Potara off of Shin's ears, while some of the other Gods proclaim that they don't need to use Potara.
Vegeta is continuing his battle with Top, and he's getting pushed back because he's too distracted by Tiencha's and Kefla's battle, expressing disdain for the Saiyan women's superior behavior. Taking advantage, Top says he can observe them as much as he wants from the sidelines, before appearing behind him and catching him with Justice Rear Naked Choke. Gohan and Piccolo continue to fight Saonel and Pilina, and Pilina catches Piccolo by the leg. Before Saonel can blast him, Gohan counters the attack with his Masenko, also smashing Pilina's arm to free Piccolo. Pilina regenerates his arm.
Shin suggests to allow Goku and Vegeta to use the Potara, and Beerus agrees due to them being compatible . Shin jokingly calls them "Vegito", much to Krillin's embarrassment. Whis points out that fusion may pose as a disadvantage since they pose the risk of eliminating two warriors at once to which a begrudging Beerus ultimate concedes. Hearing her Kai's assessment on the threat Goku and Jiren pose, Heles agrees to use the Potara, calling fusion "beautiful", and arranges for Zarbuto and Rabanra to fuse. She tosses them the Potara, and while Zarbuto struggles to put his earring on (due to his helmet) they are ran over by a charging Kefla, who also destroys the Potara. Humorously, Heles finds that beautiful as well. Granolah notices his leg is slightly injured from a previous explosion and is confronted by Catopesra. The Universe 3 policeman appears behind Granolah, but he is saved by his friend, Broly. Broly punches Catopesra in the gut and knocks him away with a blast. Granolah says he never asked for Broly's help, and Broly says that he was just passing through. Tiencha continues his struggle against the unrelenting Kefla and defends himself from one of Kefla's blast. When the smoke clears, Tiencha has assumed his Ultimate form.
Kefla exclaims in delight, as she was waiting for Tiencha to go all out , and decides to also go all-out, assuming her Super Saiyan form. Kefla's transformation shakes the entire tournament ring. Champa comments that even he didn't expect a Super Saiyan Kefla to be so powerful, completely confident that she can defeat Tiencha , citing that despite the veteran warrior's strength, however everything changes when Tiencha gets the go ahead from Gohan to unleash his true power his power shocks the gods watching as not only is it even with Kelfa's but it even surpasses every Supreme Kai in attendance. While Kefla is fighting an even battle with Tiencha she asks him if he wants her to also become Blue, and Tiencha snidely asks if she can. Kefla is determined to reach that form and surpass Tiencha. During this time, Jiren's left eye twitches in the middle of his meditation as a response to ther battle and Vegeta manages to break out of Top's grip and defeat him; also grinning at the fact that Tiencha has finally managed to reach his Ultimate form . Kefla fires another blast at Tiencha, who is forced to add Kaio-ken to deflect it. The blast narrowly misses Cell who exclaims that their battle is worth watching. Beerus realizes that in Tiencha's current condition, using Kaio-ken will be too much for him.
The two continue to power up, and Tiencha ends up landing a clean hit on Kefla. Cabba is concerned as Champa shouts at Kefla, who emerges from the ground and curses her destroyer for his relentless prattle. Beerus says that Tiencha should only be able to use one more attack before he runs out of stamina. Tiencha counters one of Kefla's blasts with a Kamehameha, but Kefla appears behind him and kicks him hard enough to knock him aside, making him revert to base form. Universe 7 is shocked and Champa is confident that with Tiencha's defeat, Universe 6's victory is imminent. Kefla is disappointed that Tiencha is too exhausted to continue and prepares to eliminate him. When Tiencha awakens with the intent to continue, Kefla is pleased and readies an energy barrage. Once launching her attack at Goku, the Saiyan suddenly deflects every attack, having tapped into demonic will . Whis realizes that Tiencha once again broke through his shell while he was cornered. Staring at Tiencha's red eyes, Kefla is surprised and concerned.
Tiencha regains his ultimate form, and also gains a new control over the form, being able to freely exert his energy and talk normally, telling Kefla she cannot beat him anymore. Whis speculates that Tiencha once again attained the form due to being pushed into a corner by Kefla's power, which rivaled the Spirit Bomb that broke through Tiencha's limits. Champa is worried and orders Kefla to defeat Tiencha before he masters his new form . Kefla powers up to Super Saiyan 2, and charges an energy attack, believing her power can destroy a whole universe. Gohan and Piccolo are shaken by their power, with Piccolo commenting that while one's power increases, that in turn incites the other's power to increase. Piccolo also speculates that Kefla's Super Saiyan 2 power surpassed Tiencha's earlier level.
tiencha takes on a battle stance, noting that this is enough for him, and Kefla attacks, only for Goku to easily dodge. Goku then easily dodges all of Kefla's attacks from behind, along with every other direction. The intensity of their fight causes Fuwa to abandon his usual meek disposition and show a more aggressive and determined demeanor as he cheers Kefla on. While Tiencha continues to dodge Kefla's attacks, Vegeta, who is watching the fight, realizes that Tiencha's body is reacting on instinct he's not controlling his actions anymore just pure survival mode, remembering what Whis told them during training: to learn how to have each of their body parts react on its own as their speed is severely limited when they think before they act. Kefla cannot land a single hit on Tiencha, who casually glides on the side of a mountain while eyeing a pursuing Kefla upside down, managing to knock her away with an Invisible Eye Blast. Kefla then regains herself, saying that while Tiencha's reaction time is impressive, his damage output is too weak and tells him that she knows he can do better. Tiencha says he's getting the hang of his new form .
Jiren senses Tiencha's power and awakens from his meditation, reuniting with Top and Dyspo. Tiencha ignores Kefla's taunting, immediately charging her and knocking her away with a barrage of fast punches. Tiencha dodges Kefla's attack and kicks her away, further knocking her back with a Kiai. Whis speculates that even though Kefla has impressive endurance, Tiencha cannot fully utilize this form when he's attacking, defending and using energy attacks this next hit should be his last or his stamina will give out. Tiencha silently thinks this same thing and declares this battle over, angering Kefla to the point where her energy begins to swell even more.
Kefla decides to power up and uses everything she has, creating large lasers with her energy that spreads around the entire tournament ring. Tiencha dodges the lasers, however, a couple of them manage to graze him. Krillin says that even Tiencha would not survive if he took those hits head-on. Tiencha begins charging a DodonKamehameha while moving closer to Kefla and dodging all of her energy attacks. When Kefla fires her final energy beam, noting that Goku cannot dodge in mid-air, instead of dodging he uses the afterimage technque to get a little further back and fires the attack, creating a beam struggle making both sites cave in and crash sending the fused warriors crashing into the ring and sending them flying out of bounds. While she is hit, the Potara shatters, causing Kefla to separate back into Caulifla and Kale as they re-appear on the sidelines. Kale apologizes to Champa and Fuwa as Caulifla curses Tiencha and vows to defeat him when they face each other again. Champa and Fuwa begin to panic with Saonel and Pilina as their remaining warriors, and the two Namekians vow to defeat Universe 7.
Both Tien and Yamcha defuse and land in the stands with Krillin the energy left over from their attacks goes up to the sky it goes inside a dome that Gohan has been powering with the energy from excess blasts and the energy of every eliminated warrior so far except for those on his own team Gohan is impressed (as he often is with his father) that his plan worked, but Piccolo can see he needs assistance. They go to help him but are interrupted by Saonel and Pilina. Champa yells at them to take out Universe 7 and they're confident they can win. Meanwhile, Vegeta roams the battlefield and childishly curses Goku for again leaving him in the dust until he is confronted by Catopesra, who tells him that his luck has run out and switches to Raging Battle Mode, which increases his power 300x his normal strength. Vegeta tries to unlock Autonomous Ultra Instinct like Goku, but gets pummeled by Catopesra. As Shin, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Beerus outwardly wonder why Vegeta isn't fighting back, Whis figures out what Vegeta was trying to do and maintains his earlier statement about the level being too difficult for someone as analytical as Vegeta. After repeated hits, Vegeta gets annoyed and goes back to his normal fighting style, repaying everything Catopesra did to him in spades while taking his frustration out on him, Whis stating that it is better that way.
Granolah wants to go help Goku, but Broly insists on using his medical experience to fix his leg first. While he patches her up, the two talk about their families. Once he is finished, Broly tells him not to overdo it. The remaining fighters from Team Universe 2 show up to finish the weakened Goku (just like love can appear suddenly, without warning), Heles rebuffing an outraged Beerus by stating that the Saiyan is a massive threat to the survival of her universe and that there may not be a better chance to be rid of him. Ribrianne and Roasie fire their Love Symphony at Goku, but broly and Granolah repel it and rush to protect their teammate from further attacks. Annoyed, Ribrianne politely, and naively, asks them to step aside, but the warriros naturally refuse, as their universe cannot afford to lose Goku. Roasie is aggravated by this (which is interesting, considering she earlier moved to protect her own teammates from elimination), but Ribrianne says love must overcome obstacles like this. While she and Roasie combat Broly and Granolah (the latter to avenge Kakunsa), Ribrianne sends Rabanra, Zarbuto, and Zirloin to ensure that Goku does not escape, but demands that they not touch him until she returns. Despite the order, the three male warriors consider eliminating the Saiyan to redeem themselves after they failed to be careful with the Potara earrings and simply because they feel it would be a simple task given his exhausted state. Goku stands in defiance of their plotting, ignoring Beerus' order for him to flee, stating that he is in no condition to battle, much less, defeat the trio, who laugh at Goku's stubbornness.
Ribrianne yells at Granolah to stop running away and fight her head-on. Granolah says he came to win and says he has a planet to fight for. Ribrianne is shocked to realize Krillin is single . Ribrianne aims Max Love Cannon at granolah when he's in midair and can't dodge, but he and Broly manage to redirect her attack to take out Roasie instead. Ribrianne powers down into her normal state, but even like this she manages to imprison Granolah with her Big Amour and absorbs "love" from her teammates, turning into Lovely Love, Love Ribrianne. As she prepares to rain down her fist on granolah, thinks of home inspires him to break free. Broly arrives to help, after defeating Biarra and together they go after Lovely Love, Love Ribrianne. Broly punches a hole through Lovely Love, Love Ribrianne and it dissolves as Brianne falls out of the arena. While in the spectator bench, Brianne cries while the Grand Minister announces her defeat.
Shin says that the power of love has prevailed, namely the love of friendship until Granolah shoots a Finger Beam at Shin and threatens him. Defeated, Brianne realizes that there is love in other universes as well. Heles tells the remaining Universe 2 warriors to prevail, even if it's not beautiful the people of Universe 2 panic after Ribrianne was defeated, but she assures them that it's not over yet and asks them to keep cheering on their remaining warriors. Indeed, at that moment Zirloin, Zarbuto, and Rabanra fight three-to-one against Goku, who holds his own and briefly manages to fend them off despite being exhausted from all of his previous battles. On the sidelines, Champa gloats that with their ace gone, Universe 2 hasn't got long to live, though he also recognizes that his universe is in the same boat. With two warriors left, they've actually got fewer than Universe 2, so they can't even try to wait until the tournament time runs out and win by numbers.
Caulifla yells at Saonel and Pilina, threatening to beat them up if they lose, even though if they lose she will be destroyed along with them. Still, her words manage to raise Saonel and Pilina's fighting spirit, though something else changes about them as well. Fighting against the two Namekians, Piccolo and Gohan can sense the change in their opponents as they're growing faster and stronger. Meanwhile, Zirloin, Zarbuto, and Rabanra are powered up by the love of Universe 2's people and transform the same way as Ribrianne, Kakunsa, and Roasie did, right down to now wearing the same sort of costumes.
The miraculously transformed Zirloin, Zarbuto, and Rabanra ready to vanquish Goku, but when Broly and Granolah again move to assist him, they vow revenge on them for eliminating their female teammates. The warriors remain undaunted and brag about being the ones who eliminated Ribrianne, Kakunsa, and Roasie. Together with Goku, they now begin a three-on-three fight with Zirloin, Zarbuto, and Rabanra. At the same time, Piccolo finally figures out that Saonel and Pilina assimilated other Namekians to power up. With the survival of their universe on the line, the Universe 6 Namekians selected Saonel and Pilina as their representatives and many assimilated with them. The two avoided fighting too hard until their powered-up bodies stabilized so that they could serve as reinforcements in the second half of the tournament.
Gohan recognizes that after assimilating so many Namekians, Saonel and Pilina must have an incredible life force. Since there's no need to hold back for fear of killing them, Gohan transforms to his potential unleashed or mystic form to hold hold them off while Piccolo charges up a Special Beam Cannon. As the fight continues, Whis wonders if Beerus is feeling conflicted about Champa's erasure if Piccolo and Gohan win. However, Beerus claims to have no mixed feelings and loudly cheers his team on. While Zeno is excited to see Goku and his son both fighting hard, the Grand Minister notes that Universe 7 has kept on winning against all the other universes, but as a result, they're worn out. On the other hand, Teams Universe 2 and 6 are facing erasure and gained new power out of desperation. Saonel stretches his arms to grab Gohan, but when Pilina moves in to attack, Piccolo nails him with a Special Beam Cannon. However, the attack fails to pierce through Pilina, who retaliates with a mouth blast.
Fortunately, Gohan shields Piccolo from the blast and apologizes for letting his guard down before Piccolo could finish fully charging his attack. Piccolo likewise apologizes to Gohan for not being able to finish due to his sympathy for the other Namekians. The fight recommences as Piccolo vows that he and Gohan will fight to their fullest no matter their opponent. Meanwhile, Zirloin, Zarbuto, and Rabanra acknowledge that Goku, Broly, and Granolah are also warriors of love, and resolve to use their full powers against them. Together the three create a point of concentrated love, a gigantic black heart that sucks other attacks in. This is the legendary "Pretty Black Hole", which even Ribrianne and her team couldn't master. The Pretty Black Hole bears down on Goku, Broly, and Granolah, threatening to sink them straight down through the bottom of the arena and out of bounds. Its weight is even greater than Bulma's Gravity Room and prevents Goku from using Instant Transmission. However, while impressed by Universe 2's power, he prefers his own fighting spirit over love. He goes Super Saiyan and fires a Kamehameha, while at the same time Gohan likewise fires a Kamehameha against Saonel.
Pilina counters Gohan's Kamehameha with a mouth blast, allowing Saonel to try and grab Gohan with his stretching arms again. But Piccolo fires his now fully charged Special Beam Cannon through both the Universe 6 Namekians, weakening them enough to allow Gohan's blast to knock them out of the ring, just as Goku's Kamehameha breaks through the Pretty Black Hole and does the same to the Universe 2 warriors; draining the older Saiyan to the point where the warriors have to offer him physical aid. Still observing Goku's battles from afar, Cell notes that he didn't display Super Saiyan God 3 this time as Whis theorizes that as Goku grows accustomed to fighting in extreme conditions, it will take more and more to trigger it. The Grand Minister officially announces that Universe 2 and Universe 6 have lost, and Zeno begins to erase them. Brianne and her team give one last message of love before they vanish, and Vados bids farewell to Champa (from afar). Though, impressed by Saonel and Pilina's fight, Caulifla still tries to follow through on her promise to beat them up for losing and chases them around while Cabba wishes Vegeta good luck. Champa calls out to Beerus and sticks his tongue out at him as a last teasing attempt moments before vanishing, to his brother's seemingly deadpan response. Still fighting against Catopesra, Vegeta tells him that what happens next is not personal. He is merely in a bad mood now.
