Vegeta and Catopesra continue to battle, Catopesra changes into his "Ultimate Mode", increasing both his power and speed 300 fold. However, Vegeta transforms into a Super Saiyan and attacks him before he can finish explaining about this form, forcing Catopesra to use Catopesra The Final Mission. Vegeta counters with a Final Flash, which he offers as a superior example of a "final" technique. Vegeta's blast pushes Catopesra to the edge of the arena, but he just barely manages to stop himself from going over. Suddenly though, Catopesra is knocked over the edge and rings out. As Catopesra materializes in the bleachers, Mosco (via Campari) asked him what happened. However, Catopesra wasn't sure himself as he felt like something attacked his feet. At that moment, something nearly knocks Vegeta and Gohan, who is rescued by Piccolo, out of the arena.
Granolah is the next to be attacked by this mysterious opponent, and when Quitela laughs, Beerus realizes this must be another one of his tricks. Yamcha wonders if they might be dealing with an invisible person, and while Beerus can't believe it would be something so old-fashioned, Quitela confirms that this is indeed the case. Still, knowing this doesn't help Granolah as he is unable to attack or defend. Piccolo jumps in and unleashes a Hyper Explosive Demon Wave to hit his enemy without aiming. However, the invisible enemy still manages to get away an Quitela's plan is to wear them down like this and then ring them out. Remembering the last time he encountered an invisible man, Yamcha recommends that Gohan cover the enemy in blood. Gohan, however, opts to fire a series of Ki Blasts to create a cloud of dust, thus revealing the vaguely lizard-like outline of their opponent, Gamisalas. Now able to see his opponent, Piccolo absolutely dominates him, mocking him for his lack of fighting skill before blasting him out of the arena. In the bleachers, Gamisalas apologizes to Quitela, and Beerus brags that such tricks won't work against Universe 7, but Quitela thinks to himself that they are just getting started.
Quitela orders Xiangca to get going, who creates a strange red zone around Team Universe 7. The defeated warriors from the erased universes appear, claiming to be back for revenge. Though Piccolo recognizes these as illusions, they are apparently still solid enough to attack him and the others, though their own attacks simply pass through their phantom opponents. While the phantoms themselves have no ki to sense, Piccolo can still sense two people nearby: one moving, and one still. Gohan realizes that the still one must be creating the illusions, while the other uses the illusions as cover to attack them. Indeed, Piccolo soon spots Xiangca hiding nearby and very easily blows him out of the arena, much to Quitela's annoyance. The illusions and red zone vanish, but the second fighter still remains and continues his attack. Universe 4's final fighter, Damom, is apparently another invisible person, but unlike Gamisalas he is unable to suppress his ki, and Piccolo confidently attacks him. For some reason though, none of Piccolo's attacks connect and in his confusion, he is caught off guard and knocked from the arena. Materializing in the bleachers, Piccolo wonders what happened as Damom is not only invisible but has no physical body.
Broly is attacked by Damom and was almost eliminated until Gohan saved him. Gohan soon figures out Damom's secret and stands still with his eyes closed, taunting Damom to come attack him. Not distracted by sight or ki-sensing, Gohan's attacks zero in on Damom and finally reveal his true nature: a tiny insect humanoid. Since everyone incorrectly assumed Damom was invisible, the discrepancy between the ki they sensed from him and his tiny size prevented any of their attacks from hitting. Knowing Damom's secret, it is still difficult for Gohan and Broly to manage to hit such a small and fast opponent. Knowing that Damom has no wings and must always jump to attack, Gohan repeatedly punches the arena to throw him off enough for Broly to capture him within a tiny barrier and kick him out of the arena. Though Damom apologizes to his destroyer, Quitela is far too furious to accept it and attempts to squish him. With Team Universe 4 defeated, Zeno prepare to Erase them. However, Quitela refuses to accept this and tries to take everyone else down with him, but before he can, he and the rest of Universe 4 cease to exist.
The Omni-King's review the current status of the tournament, seeing that many warriors have been eliminated and only three universes now remain. Though the tournament will soon be over, the Grand Minister assures him that the truly exciting part is still ahead, now that only the top warriors from each universe remain. Following the loss of Piccolo, there are now only six members left on Team Universe 7. Goku is certain that Jiren and co. over in Universe 11 will be their final opponents, but out in the bleachers, Piccolo thinks they shouldn't overlook Universe 3. Mosco declares that with so few warriors remaining, now is the perfect time for them to finally get serious. Following Mosco's orders, Paparoni assembles the other four remaining Universe 3 warriors, and together they go after Team Universe 7. While Broly and Granolah struggles against Biarra, Vegeta finds that Borareta can anticipate his movements thanks to Koitsukai's analysis. Whis can tell that their team won't have such an easy time defeating warriors who have managed to survive for this long.
Continuing to analyze Team Universe 7 from afar, Koitsukai directs Pancéa and Borareta to defeat Goku and Vegeta with coordinated attacks. But, Gohan protects Goku and Vegeta from the Universe 3 warriors and is determined to take out these opponents on his own, so that Goku and Vegeta can conserve their stamina. Gohan manages well against Koitsukai, Pancéa, and Borareta, anticipating their movements much as they did with Vegeta. Meanwhile, Broly and Granolah use their teamwork to gradually wear down Biarra's defenses with an endless barrage of attacks and Ki Blasts. Biarra collapses after cracks form in his armor, and Broly knocks him out of bounds. With only four Universe 3 warriors left, Mosco commands them to begin "Plan X". At Paparoni's instructions, Koitsukai, Pancéa, and Borareta merge into Koicéareta. Eyre explains how Paparoni modified those three so that they could combine into the ultimate warrior. Observing events from afar, Top thinks that Universe 3 has been keeping a rather troublesome ace-in-the-hole, while Cell looks forward to watching how things play out. Gohan's initial barrage of Ki Blasts has no effect on Kochiarator, who despite his large size proves to also be faster than before. As Gohan struggles to block one of Kochiarator's attacks, Goku and Vegeta suddenly rush in and knock Kochiarator away. Goku assures Gohan that thanks to him, he has recovered his stamina.
Goku and Vegeta transform into Saiyan God and manage to push Kochiarator back, but with Paparoni's encouragement, Kochiarator manages to counter their blasts in the end. Paparoni declares victory, but in fact, Goku and Vegeta were merely buying time so that Gohan could charge up an attack of his own. Now that they've created an opening, Gohan nails Kochiarator with a Kamehameha that eventually breaks through the merged warrior's guard. It seems that Gohan has defeated Team Universe 3, and Beerus is so impressed that he addresses Gohan by his name rather than by his youth. Though Kochiarator is nowhere in sight, Paparoni has managed to remain in the arena. As Gohan and co. go to drop him out of bounds, he vows to unleash Universe 3's true final tactic and Kochiarator suddenly appears behind him.
Vowing to defeat Team Universe 7 even at the cost of his own life, Paparoni unleashes Universe 3's final tactic and merges with Koicéareta to become the gigantic Aniraza. The Omni-King is impressed with the size of this fusion, while Mosco is confident they can now win. Aniraza fires Ki Blasts off at every remaining warrior in the arena, forcing Broly, granolah, and Cell to dodge, while Jiren simply counters with a blast of his own. Super Saiyan Vegeta tests Aniraza out with a Big Bang Attack, but Aniraza easily swats it aside and charges at Team Universe 7, making it clear that his power and speed have both greatly increased. After managing to evade Aniraza's assault, Broly and Granolah join up with Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta, while Goku declares that their only option is to attack Aniraza together. Following Gohan's advice, the group moves quickly to confuse their giant opponent with Goku powering up to Super Saiyan God, and each goes after a different limb. However, Aniraza not only manages to track all five of them but proves fast enough to knock them each away before they can attack.
Goku wonders if Aniraza is quickly tracking their ki, but Broly points out that he and Granolah don't use their ki like everyone else does . Instead, Gohan speculates that Aniraza is emitting a sonar from his tentacle-like ears to instantly locate them. Aniraza next begins using his immense power to warp space, punching his fist through wormholes to directly attack distant opponents. One of these warp punches sends Goku flying, but Cell kicks him back into the arena before he can fall out of bounds. Goku thanks Cell for saving him, and asks for his help against Aniraza, who soon launches another attack against the entire Universe 7 team. This time Aniraza starts grabbing at warriors, eventually getting hold of Granolah, who he tries to swallow. Though Goku manages to save Granolah at the last moment, and Aniraza begins firing off a barrage of homing blasts. Broly blocks these with one of his energy shield, but the continued assault manages to push him off the edge of the arena.
As Broly falls, Granolah jumps down and kicks him back up into the arena, effectively sacrificing himself in his place. The Grand Minister announces Granolah's elimination, and as he materializes in the bleachers he tells Broly not to lose. For his next trick, Aniraza grows wings and begins to fly, then forms an enormous energy ball to take out Team Universe 7 together with the arena. The five remaining Universe 7 members power up to counter this attack, with Goku and Vegeta going Super Saiyan Blue, Gohan unleashing his potential, and Cell charging up into his Golden form. All five fire blasts to hold off Aniraza's energy ball but are gradually pushed back. Changing tactics, Broly surrounds himself in an energy shield and jumps straight through the energy ball to attack the crystal sphere in Agnilasa's forehead. Though Broly is knocked back by Aniraza's energy, he has achieved his goal in destroying Aniraza's energy reactor, throwing him off-balance enough for Goku and co.'s blasts to overtake him with one final push.
Defeated, Aniraza defuses back into Paparoni, Koitsukai, Pancéa, and Borareta, who materialize in the bleachers. Though Paparoni apologizes for their loss, Eyre says he did a great job. The Grand Minister announces Team Universe 3's defeat and the Omni-King begin to erase Universe 3. As the Universe 3 gods and warriors start to vanish, a red devil-like creature named Mule pops out of a hatch in Mosco's mechanical stomach, and thanks Campari for all his support. With Universe 3 eliminated, Goku thanks Broly, who explains that it was his instincts that led him to guess the location of Aniraza's energy reactor. Goku also thanks Cell for lending a hand, and Frieza insists Goku still owes him one. The group is then interrupted by Team Universe 11 and Jiren assures them that this victory will be their last.
With the destruction of Universe 3, now only Universes 7 and 11 remain. There are nine minutes remaining in the tournament. As the Omni-King wonders which will win, the Grand Minister notes that the bleachers look a bit desolate with only two teams left. He uses his powers to shrink them down so that the gods and defeated contestants from the two universes are all now sitting side-by-side. Marcarita asks why Vados is sitting with the Universe 7 team, and she replies that with Universe 6 gone she plans to stick with them. In the arena, Goku powers up into Super Saiyan Blue and begins trading blows with Jiren, rather to Vegeta's annoyance. Goku is impressed as ever at Jiren's power, and Jiren asks Goku why he seeks greater strength but Goku isn't sure why he just does. He asks if Jiren wants to grow stronger too, but Jiren says he wants something more than strength. While the Grand Minister says Goku and Jiren's battle will be key to the tournament's outcome, Vegeta suddenly barges in and starts fighting Jiren himself, demanding that Jiren show him his power. Elsewhere, Dyspo dodges Cell's Death Beams while he brags about being the fastest fighter in any universe. Cell dismisses Dyspo as simply being good at running away, and Dyspo replies that Cell must want to die . Meanwhile, Gohan and Broly go up against Top, with Gohan warning that they need to steer clear of Top's big arms as they even gave Goku trouble.
As Vegeta battles Jiren, he knows that he's never seen anyone with such tough, heavy ki before. Nevertheless, Vegeta vows that he will defeat Jiren and obtain the Super Dragon Balls. When Jiren knocks Vegeta away, Goku rushes in to fight him, though he is likewise overwhelmed by Jiren's rapid-fire punches. Vegeta seizes the next opportunity to take Goku's place fighting Jiren again, and this time he manages to successfully dodge Jiren's punches and close into land a punch of his own square on Jiren's chest. Everyone is amazed that Vegeta broke through Jiren's ki to land an attack. Piccolo realizes that Vegeta observed Jiren's attack pattern when he knocked Goku away (and so used that knowledge to dodge Jiren's attacks the next time around). Khai isn't too concerned though as it just makes things a little more interesting. Vegeta goes on to attack Jiren again and again, impressing the Omni-Kings. Shin thinks Vegeta may even have the upper hand, but Khai asks if he's blind.
Watching Vegeta's movements, Whis wonders if he is trying to test out Super Saiyan God against Jiren. Meanwhile, Vegeta can tell that Jiren was stronger and faster when he fought Goku. Jiren suddenly nails him with a Power Impact that sends him flying far off into the distance. Vegeta struggles against the blast and it explodes just as it reaches the edge of the arena, enveloping everything in a cloud of dust. Meanwhile, Dyspo tries to trip Cell up by using his speed to create a series of afterimages, but Cell doesn't fall for such an old trick. Cell uses his tail to grab hold of Dyspo, but Dyspo turns the tables by throwing Cell around by his tail. Gohan and Broly against Top, with Gohan's Ultimate Explosive Kamehameha proving effective. Top tells the two to prepare themselves for his own attacks now, and Belmod laughs at Beerus that his own universe is clearly superior.
Whis though is certain Vegeta isn't out of the game yet as Jiren's blast probably only served as his trigger. Sure enough, when the dust from Jiren's blast clears, Vegeta is still in the arena. Jiren assures Vegeta that there is no way for him to win and that his fighting style is arrogant, conceited, and impure. While Vegeta agrees that he is arrogant, he says this is simply his Saiyan pride. Charging his Final Flash, Vegeta says that he will leave Autonomous Ultra Instinct to "Kakarot" and defeat Jiren in his own way. The gods watching the fight are surprised that Vegeta ki is rising up even higher than before and that through Vegeta's own pride Jiren has awakened Vegeta's dormant power. Vegeta taunts Jiren into taking his Final Flash head-on, and he lands a direct hit. When the dust clears, Vegeta is thrilled to see Jiren flat on the ground, but Jiren suddenly appears right in front of him. Jiren compliments Vegeta on the force of his attack, then blasts him at point-blank range. As Vegeta goes down, Khai boasts that Jiren always surpasses his opponents, while the Omni-Kings are amazed to see that Vegeta's attack had no effect against Jiren.
In the aftermath of Jiren's overwhelming defeat of Vegeta, everyone is amazed at Jiren's power. While Vegeta struggles on the ground, Jiren tells the warrior to rest. In the bleachers, Belmod and Khai note what an honor it is for Jiren to acknowledge Vegeta as a "warrior"; he is praising Vegeta's bravery in facing him with everything he had. The Omni-Kings are impressed with Jiren too and amuse themselves imitating him. Struggling to his feet, Vegeta says he can tell Jiren still hasn't used his full power. Taking over from where Vegeta left off, Goku powers up to fight Jiren once more. Meanwhile, Dyspo is still throwing Frieza around by the tail and delivers what he believes to be a finishing blow. He brags about his power as a member of the Pride Troopers, but Frieza is both unimpressed and seemingly unhurt by his attacks and begins firing back.
Elsewhere, Gohan and Broly continue their tag team fight against Top, but Broly soon realizes that they are unable to pull off combo attacks since they have never fought together before. He suggests a new, simpler strategy: he will go stop Top from moving, allowing Gohan to ring them both out. 17 goes and fights Top one-on-one for a while, but before long Top grabs him by the arm. Though, this is exactly what Broly wanted as he forms an energy barrier around them both and Gohan fires a Kamehameha at them. The blast pushes the barrier between the two inside towards the edge of the arena, but before they can be ringed out, Top punches Broly so hard that he drops the barrier. Gohan breaks off the attack out of concern for Broly, allowing Top to get away.
As Goku stands directly in front of Jiren, his teammates in the bleachers question his strategy. They've already seen that long-range attacks such as the Spirit Bomb and Final Flash don't work against Jiren, which means he can only be defeated by a direct assault. However, going toe-to-toe with Jiren is risky too. Goku will probably try to create an opening with which to attack, but how. He starts teleporting around Jiren, but always backs off before too long. In fact, Goku has set down a series of landmine-like Ki Blasts around Jiren, and they go off as soon as Jiren steps on them. However, Jiren jumps up right as the mines explode, appearing in the air above Goku, who fires off a barrage of Destructo Disc Hexa Blade at him. Jiren seemingly destroys all of them though and begins pummeling Goku atop a large piece of rubble sticking out over the edge of the arena (it fell over when a Destructo Disc sliced through it). Jiren's fist begins to glow as he revs up for a finishing blow, but the ground beneath him suddenly gives way. It turns out that Goku has used the one remaining Destructo Disc to slice up the piece of rubble they're standing on, the same strategy Krillin used against him back during their sparring match. He teleports behind Jiren and kicks him down off the edge of the arena.
Goku goes and rejoins Vegeta, who says that while he may have caught Jiren off-guard this won't be enough to defeat him, but Goku knew that already. Indeed, Jiren uses the small pieces of rubble in the air around him as footholds to jump back up into the arena and begins walking straight towards Goku, completely unfazed by the ki landmines he continues to set off. After knocking Goku around for a bit more, Jiren powers up, impressing Khai with his intense ki. Even Belmod says it's been a long time since he's seen Jiren like this. Goku and Jiren begin trading blows once again, but Jiren quickly overwhelms Goku with the same sort of glowing punch he had begun to use earlier before being interrupted. The impact from Jiren's punch blasts through the arena, and although it only grazes Goku's cheek, he reverts from Super Saiyan Blue to his base form. Khai and Belmod can tell that Jiren has begun showing a bit of his full power. Krillin asks what sort of technique this is, but Khai explains that for Jiren, these are nothing more than ordinary punches. Goku says he's never been hit by such strong attacks before, but he can't turn back now. Vegeta agrees; they know well enough that Jiren is strong, but he must still defeat him and get the Super Dragon Balls. The two power up, with Goku using X20 Super Saiyan Blue 2 Kaio-ken once more. Beerus sees that Goku is unleashing every scrap of power he has; if even this doesn't work, then they've had it.
Vegeta meanwhile remembers his promise to Cabba, that he would win the tournament and resurrect him and the others of Universe 6. In order to keep that promise, Vegeta resolves to overcome his limits in his own way and defeat Jiren. As he powers up, a change comes over Vegeta's ki, and he becomes a more sparkly version of Super Saiyan Blue he combines super vegeta 2 with Super Saiyan God 2 . The Grand Minister explains that Vegeta seems to have broken through his shell (much as Goku did earlier) and has collected power within himself greatly surpassing what he previously had as a Super Saiyan Blue. Vegeta tells Jiren that this is everything he has, and he and Goku begin fighting Jiren two-against-one, finally working together for a change. Jiren can feel that their attacks are sharper than before, but he still counters with more of his trademark glowing punches. The two of them together start to push back against Jiren, who seems thrown off his game. While the action pauses for a moment, Whis explains that Goku and Vegeta's coordination isn't perfect, yet this actually helps them out by confusing Jiren.
Goku and Vegeta have both powered up to face Jiren, and though so far Jiren has been unfazed by their attacks, Vegeta says that their fight is just beginning. Beerus cheers them on from the bleachers, saying that Universe 7 can't win unless the two defeat Jiren. The duo push Jiren back with a series of coordinated attacks, finishing with a Kamehameha and Final Flash. Though Jiren takes these attacks head-on, he emerges seemingly undamaged however doing so drained his energy supply by 25% up til now he's conserved his energy really well but these two are at a whole different level then the rest of the competitors however when the fighting stops he can sense a huge power above the arena not just him but everyone can feel it growing it was before barely noticeable now it's growing with every passing second not only that but it feels like it's unstable on top of that he can sense godly Ki begin to fuse with it as well as regular KI and a Ki he's never felt before.
Seeing that Jiren is raising his game, Dyspo decides to do likewise in his match against Cell. Even Cell thinks it's time they stopped playing around. Though Dyspo is certainly fast, Cell repeats Goku's criticism from earlier, that Dyspo's movements are too straightforward and therefore easy to predict. However, Dyspo starts moving even faster, leaving Cell unable to follow his movements. He pummels Cell and then uses his Circle Flash attack to finish him off. When Dyspo rushes in to knock Cell out of bounds though, Cell stops him with his tail. Cell still seems more than fine, though he says that attack did have him worried. He points out that if they continue fighting they will just wear themselves out, and even if Dyspo wins Universe 7 will still hold the numerical advantage (which will give them the victory once time runs out). Jiren may be strong, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to defeat Goku and Vegeta within the tournament's few remaining minutes. Cell, therefore, offers Dyspo a deal: he will cooperate with Universe 11, so long as Universe 11 promises to gift him with the Super Dragon Balls once they win the tournament.
In the bleachers, Beerus is outraged to see Cell once again being underhanded, though Krillin and Piccolo think this might be another trick. Regardless, Dyspo turns down the offer and can tell that the evil Cell simply wants to use him to ensure his own survival. Cell responds by transforming into Golden Cell and now has no choice but to use his full power to defeat Dyspo. Golden Cell tells Dyspo to come at him from any direction he wants, and Dyspo considers this a good opportunity to test out his speed. Though he lands a punch on Cell's face, it seems to have no effect, and Frieza is unimpressed by his power and speed. As Cell turns the tables on Dyspo, in the bleachers Khai is shocked to see that Cell is apparently the faster of the two. Cell confidently announces that Dyspo is simply no match for him, but he is surprised by the ki Dyspo suddenly starts to emit.
Indeed, Dyspo increases his speed even further and begins to counterattack, regaining the upper hand. Belmod explains that this is Dyspo's final secret technique, Super Maximum Light Speed Mode. Dyspo is now moving too fast for even the Omni-King to see, and though he trys the slow-motion replay footage on his GodPad, Dyspo is still far too fast for even that to work. The Grand Minister says he will have to upgrade the GodPads next time. Dyspo continues to beat up on Frieza, knocking him closer and closer to the arena's edge. Gohan manages to break away from his battle against Top and come to Frieza's rescue, knocking Dyspo away with a kick. Frieza is surprised that Gohan of all people would save him, but for Gohan, it was simply a matter of helping out a teammate. Frieza taunts Gohan that he might betray him later, but Gohan promises to ring Cell out if he does. Cell decides that he and Gohan will have to face Dyspo together, and he asks Gohan not to be dead weight. Dyspo vows to knock both of them out of bounds, and while Cell and Gohan fire volley after volley of Ki Blasts at him, these attacks are too slow to hit him. Gohan soon realizes that the only way for them to win is to limit the range of Dyspo's movements; he will go create an opening to allow Frieza to cage Dyspo in. Cell agrees to follow Gohan's plan since he is the leader of Team Universe 7, after all. While Gohan trades blows with Dyspo, Cell surrounds the two in a cage of ki beams. Now Dyspo has nowhere to run, but the same goes for Gohan, who is prepared for this and resolves to face Dyspo in a head-on battle.
With Dyspo hemmed in, he is no longer able to dodge Gohan's attacks, and Shin thinks Gohan can't lose like this. Belmod likewise sees that if Dyspo tries to use his Super Maximum Light Speed Mode inside this energy cage, he will simply hit the bars and damage himself. Cell tells Gohan to hurry up and finish Dyspo off, since maintaining the energy cage uses up a lot of energy and his stamina can't hold out for long. Just as Gohan goes in for a final blow, Cell finally gives out and the cage collapses, allowing Dyspo to dodge Gohan's attack. Gohan doesn't miss a beat though and immediately grabs Dyspo throws him away then lets him get up while preparing a blast to knock him out of the arena picking up on Gohan's strategy, Cell doesn't hesitate to help and charges his own blast as well , blasting Dyspo with Death Cannon that knocks him out of bounds.
Goku and Vegeta continue to tag-team Jiren, but despite all the attacks the throw at him, Jiren still isn't even sweating. Over in the bleachers, Krillin is freaked out by this, but Gohan trusts Goku and Vegeta will manage to win. Beerus even congratulates Gohan for doing well and actually calls him by name for a change while the fight against Jiren rages on, Top and Broly's battle continues as well, with Broly using his Psycho Barrier to block Top's Justice Flash. Seeing that only about six more minutes remain in the tournament, Broly starts blasting Top with an endless barrage of small Ki Blasts. Although these attacks don't have much effect on Top, they still keep him preoccupied, and in the bleachers, Granolah explains that Broly plans on using his energy to stall Top like this until time runs out. Realizing Broly's strategy, Top breaks away and vows to defeat him right away to protect his universe, firing a tremendous ki beam towards Broly, who counters with a beam of his own. The two beams struggle against each other, but before long Top's beam starts pushing Broly towards the edge of the arena. Before Broly can be ringed out though, Golden Cell appears and blasts Top from behind. He thinks Broly has been playing around too much, and steps in to finish Top off himself. Cell continues to fire at Top, who is still stuck in his beam struggle against Broly and unable to turn around and counterattack. Growing bored with his defenseless opponent, Frieza prepares a finishing blow, Toppo craetes his own barrier which defelcts the attack back at Cell however doing this makes him lose focus for just a brief moment but not enough to lose the beam struggle so he puts more effort into it and knocks Broly out of the arena.
Indeed, Top has remained inside the arena, but he collapses and Frieza mocks him as trash that needs to be thrown away. Before Frieza can "gently" knock Top out of bounds though, Top gets back up on his feet, with his uniform in tatters and his bare chest exposed. Top declares that he no longer needs justice and has resolved himself. He begins emitting a gigantic ki very similar to a god's ki, and Belmod says it's time Top showed them "that" power. Top's eyes glow purple, he is veiled in a purple aura, and a crest appears on his chest (identical to the one Belmod wears on his clothing). Frieza is unimpressed by Top's transformation and tests him out by firing off a Death Beam. However, the beam is completely nullified by Top's purple aura, and in the bleachers, Beerus recognizes this as the Power of Destruction, a power which only a God of Destruction is supposed to have. Khai points out that Top is the candidate to be Universe 11's next God of Destruction, and Belmod says now that Top's resolved himself, he is no different from a God of Destruction. Marcarita likewise tells Top it's time to show off the fruits of his training under her.
Regardless, Cell maintains that even a God of Destruction means nothing to him now that he's Golden Cell. While Top fires off Energy of Destruction at him, Cell and thinks one hand should be enough to block it. But the blast steadily overwhelms him despite his struggles, resulting in an explosion that cracks the arena in pieces. With Cell seemingly out of the way, Top next goes after Gohan, who was trying to hide. Top uses his Justice Flash, and while Gohan blocks with an energy barrier, this time his barrier is cracked to pieces by Top's attack, demonstrating that even Top's regular ki attacks have greatly powered up. Beerus explains that Top surrounds himself in Barrier of Destruction energy, thus preventing Gohan from directly damaging him. Top next fires Energy of Destruction at Gohan, who manages to deflect it out of the way and nearly hitting the bleachers in the process.
From this latest attack, Beerus can tell that Top needs time to charge before he can fire off the Energy of Destruction. However, even while charging, he can still surround himself in Energy of Destruction, so it seems like there's no way for Gohan to win. Top keeps firing away at Gohan with his Justice Flash, then prepares another Energy of Destruction, just as Gohan has nowhere left to run. However, a rock comes flying out of nowhere and crashes into Top's blast, nullifying it. It turns out Cell withstood Top's earlier attack, though he has reverted to his final form and is injured head to toe. Vowing to destroy Top, Cell forms an enormous ball of ki capable of destroying an entire planet, but Top counters it with just a tiny amount of Destruction energy, then rushes in close and begins thrashing Frieza with close-range physical attacks. Although Top could easily destroy Frieza now, this would get him disqualified, so he merely throws the thoroughly battered Frieza out of bounds. While this was going on gohan was transforming into a Great Ape infact he succeeded by the time cell was tossed out of the arena.
seeing the Ape form everyone is wondering what Gohan has in mind even Toppo stops attacking to see what would come of this as does Jiren and so does Vegeta and Goku then Gohan transofrms his ape into super Saiyan 2 combined with Kaioken x20 Saiyan God Demonic Will Potential unleashed then for the final thing he does is gather all of the energy that he's been gathering from the tournament as a whole instead of launching this massive orb of energy he absorbs it into himself the whole Null realm is shaking with the combined power that Gohan is giving off after lots of energy settled his form began to expand like a balloon then his power quadrupled then he begins to transform and shrink after lots of light and smoke what's left is Gohan in Super Saiyan 4 he looks like Goku did in GT except his pants are purple his fur his blood red his eyes are purple his aura is purple with red electricity and white swirls of energy going through it as well as tiny white balls running up and down his energy like in Saiyan God.
Gohan's new form shocks everyone not only that but his power is incredibly dense so much so that everyone can barely breathe each movement feels like gravity is crushing you and each flex of energy feels like 10 suns burning you Toppo is a little scared to attack Gohan now but Gohan sees Toppo then smirks he gets into a fighting stance ready to end this the two fire blasts at each other, but Top's Energy of Destruction is quickly nullified by Gohan's blast, and he follows up with a volley of Justice Flash. Gohan runs towards him but severly overshoots him he tries to get used to his new body , but Top quickly tracks him down, using his Energy of Destruction to clear a path straight through the rubble. Seeing how the rest of the rubble crashes down afterward, Gohan tries to fight again, but this time manages to bury Top beneath a pile of rubble as it comes crashing down. However, Top wastes no time in using his Energy of Destruction to blast his way out and attacks 17 with a flurry of regular Ki Blasts. In order to avoid destroying 17 himself and thereby getting disqualified, Top charges up a large regular ki Ball to finish him however Gohan just overpowers his blast sending it right back at him.
Even this is no use against Top, who assures them there is no way they can win now that he has the Power of Destruction. Top prepares to knock the two of them out of bounds, saying they should be grateful for not being destroyed. Suddenly Top is hit by a few stray blasts from Goku, Vegeta, and Jiren's fight. Still, in the heat of battle, the three have coincidentally drawn near the spot where Top and co. stand. Jiren fires another blast, and while Goku and Vegeta managed to dodge, it hits Gohan head-on. Jiren and Top wordlessly come to an understanding, and Top goes after Vegeta as his next opponent, overwhelming him with a barrage of Justice Flash. In the bleachers, the Team Universe 7 is concerned about Goku and Vegeta being split up now that they're no longer able to team up against Jiren. Vegeta fires a Final Flash at Top, but he nullifies it with Energy of Destruction. Vegeta may have powered up, but Top remains unimpressed. For his part, Vegeta can tell Top is far stronger than he was before, but he is still determined to win and keep his promise to Cabba and the others. Vegeta points out how Top has switched from talking about "justice" all the time to now talking about "destruction". Top says he doesn't need justice if it can't protect his universe and laughs at Vegeta's promise to his fellow Saiyans. He claims Vegeta will never win without casting aside such pointless things and hurls a large Ki Blast at him. As the attack bears down on him, Vegeta reflects on how he cannot cast aside his family, Cabba and the others, his promise, or his pride as a Saiyan. With new determination, Vegeta beats back Top's blast and begins a fierce counterattack. In the bleachers, Dyspo and Belmod are shocked to see Top getting knocked around. Belmod tells Top to just start destroying all of Vegeta's attacks, as long as he avoids killing him. Top fires away, but Vegeta continues to dodge his attacks and beat him up, saying he won't lose to someone who couldn't protect their own pride.
Vegeta promises to hit Top with an attack too powerful for him to destroy and begins charging up a tremendous amount of ki around himself. Top counters by charging up a gigantic Energy of Destruction ball and the two attacks struggle against each other, but in the end, Vegeta's energy is indeed too much for Top to destroy, and he is overwhelmed by the explosion. Top materializes in the bleachers, where Dyspo and Khai can't believe he lost. Belmod remains silent, while Marcarita thanks Top for a job well done. The Grand Minister formally announces Top's elimination, while the Omni-King chatter about how much he enjoyed the fight.
Piccolo thinks that Vegeta has truly sacrificed his life to defeat Top, but they soon see that he is still alive and well inside the arena, although he has reverted to his base form. With Super Saiyan Blue and beyond, Vegeta has grown vastly stronger than he was back when he died using that same technique against Buu, so his body is now able to withstand it. However, Beerus points out that while he may have survived, Vegeta has used up all his power and can barely remain on his feet. Gohan emerges from some rubble, and everyone is glad to see that he survived too. Jiren is disappointed in his teammates and congratulates Vegeta on defeating Top. He's impressed Vegeta could be so powerful without casting all else aside. As the others look on, Jiren begins powering up to unleash his hidden power.
As Jiren powers up, he is surrounded by an intense, fiery energy. The Omni-King are amazed that Jiren seems to be on fire, while Goku and Gohan are likewise impressed that he was hiding such monstrous strength. Vegeta, on the other hand, mocks Jiren for only getting serious now that all his teammates are gone. He cockily charges Jiren, forcing Goku and Gohan to join in the attack. Even in a 3-against-1 fight though, Jiren still proves too much for them to handle. As Jiren closes in to kick Vegeta, Gohan knocks him out of the way, taking the brunt of the attack himself. Rather than be thankful though, Vegeta is annoyed at Gohan's "unnecessary" action while Jiren is his to defeat.
More fighting proves equally ineffective as Jiren blocks Vegeta's punch and he compliments it as being good enough to defeat Top, but not enough to beat him. Jiren retaliates with one of his own fiery punches, then follows up by erasing Goku's Kamehameha with a mere uppercut. However, Jiren is caught off-guard by Gohan, who hits him with a point-blank range from behind. Vegeta is caught up in the explosion from his own attack and injured, but he still manages to wound Jiren in the back. Angered, Jiren counterattacks, but Vegeta retreats and joins back up with Goku. While Vegeta is only barely OK, this last exchange has demonstrated that even Jiren can be damaged if hit unguarded by such a large attack. If they use coordinated attacks to create an opening and then attack Jiren with an even bigger attack, they might be able to win. Goku and Vegeta will go draw Jiren's attention, leaving Gohan to prepare another attack. As Goku and Vegeta furiously tag-team Jiren, fires off a blast, but Jiren won't fall for the same trick twice, and easily counters. Jiren rushes at Gohan, who creates a series of barriers to block him, but he smashes through them all and attacks.
As Jiren blocks a beam from Gohan, Goku tells Vegeta that the three of them should attack him all at once. While Gohan continues his beam attack, Goku and Vegeta fire their own beams at Jiren from different directions, but Jiren blocks all three beams with his fiery aura. With the rest of the team knocked to the ground, Gohan suddenly reappears and attacks Jiren, determined to kill him regardless of the tournament rules. Jiren wastes no time knocking him off into the distance, where he passes out again. With Gohan beaten, Jiren is blasted by Gohan, who's back on his feet. Jiren wonders what Gohan can do on his own, but Gohan refuses to give up and is confident Universe 7 will survive. Belmod, however, asks Gohan what he will do if his universe survives and use the Super Dragon Balls to wish for. Gohan explains that he wants to wish for the right to take the place of Universe 9's God of Destruction shocking everyone, and he asks what Jiren wants to wish for. While Gohan had assumed Jiren was solely interested in being crowned the strongest fighter, Jiren admits that he does indeed have a wish in mind. Hearing this, Khai seems surprised, but Belmod understands.
Jiren tells his story about his master being killed when he was little and how he's never found who was responsible after his tale is over Jiren starts powering up into his form Jiren achieved this state when the fear of losing made him relive all the trauma from his past, allowing him to break through his previous limitations in order to battle the rest of Universe 7. Jiren unleashed a newfound power so intense, the very release of it caused the top portion of his Pride Trooper Uniform to be blasted off and set the tournament ring ablaze with fiery ki. The release of his unthinkably colossal ki was unbelievably intense, that the Null Realm was violently shaking as his fiery ki was spilling out and scorching everything around him in intense heat akin to an active volcano.
In this state, Jiren gains a substantial increase in muscle mass and definition causing veins around his body to bulge out, and an aura which has a sparkling crimson color and a pattern consisting of rippling, fire-like energy similar to Goku's Super Saiyan God with red sparkling trails of particles however during all of this another power is being felt that actually is getting stronger and stronger Jiren was about to attack he turns his attention from Gohan to both Goku and Vegeta who are back in their ultiamte forms Goku is back in Super Saiyan God 3 and Vegeta is back in Super Saiyan God Evolution so he starts fighting them again while this is happening Gohan drains energy from everyone still here except those fighting and he heals himself completely he also restores his body and energy back to how it was before the tournament doing this gives him the largest zenkai boost ever recorded just his base form skyrockets to equal Dyspo and Hit put together.
Gohan transforms back into Super Saiyan 4 but that's not what makes everyone look at him it's the sound of chains being broke that storm through the Null Realm that makes Jiren stop fighting Goku and Vegeta not only that but he notices that both Goku and Vegeta slowly begin to heal and recover their strength he also notices that he is as well wondering where its coming from he sees Gohan back in that small ape form again however this time there's a green aura around his body after it vanishes all 3 of them are fully healed however that's not what made him stop the fight it's Gohan's power level it's rising even now he can feel it growing stronger however that's not what's worrying everyone.
What is doing it is that Gohan's power is starting to become very dense not only that but it's reaching levels of the gods while this is going on the dieties are freaking out and Goku vanishes with Vegeta who both go back down to their base forms then they practice the fusion dance a few times until they get everything perfect then they fuse shocking everyone again as the new warrior appears right back where Goku and Vegeta were Gohan smirks then he drops his energy back down to the level his new form was at when he first transformed into it Belmod screetches about cheating but the Grand Priest says that the metamoran fusion technique is allowed just like we allowed the potara fusion for Universe 6 Belmod was baout to complain again about how Jiren is the only one injured until he sees Jiren back at full strength right before this whole tournament began just now in a stronger form.
what's important to note is that Gogeta's power level is 7 times higher than Kefla's when she first fused but he doesn't waste any time he attacks Jiren right away and as soon as they start trading blows it's obvious how much Jiren would have lost without being healed and without transforming like he did however despite that knowledge Gogeta hurries as they only have 10 minutes left until the Tournament of Power is over Jiren's power continues to grow as Toppo is giving him all that he has left as is the rest of the Pride Troopers Gogeta however puts energy into his body so that he can keep up with Jiren not only that but he has already transfromed into a Super Saiyan.
Despite transforming into a super saiyan Gogeta can barely keep up with Jiren even going into Super Saiyan 2 isn't helping much so he goes into Saiyan God believe it or not they are actually even now but Jiren is stronger and more powerful they are just even in skill and speed however Gogeta keeps it up and adds the Ikari form to his Saiyan God form it makes it 10 times stronger faster and more powerful but even doing that only is equal to half of Jiren's new powers that he is getting from the pride troopers as well as the power boost he got from when Gohan healed him it was a 11% increase to not just his power but to his over all abilities Gogeta backs away not paying attention he jumps and lands 200 feet from the edge of the ring then begins charging a blast which is the final kamehameha Jiren charges his own blast and they clash.
In a beam struggle their blasts are about even except that Jiren's is stronger and is pushing Gogeta closer towards the edge not only that but his feet are being embedded into the floor making a crater making rocks go flying Jiren just pushes a little harder and knocks Gogeta out of the ring making the fusion end with both Goku and Vegeta end up in the stands however despite that happening the entire null realm begins to shake the whole arena begins to quake and gohan for the first time in his life loses his temper to the point that he snaps more than Kale did Gohan's power rises more than it ever has in his entire life up until now shocking every diety and every warrior witnessing it however despite universe 11's advice Jiren is fascinated by gohan's power.
Gohan lets loose every seal but the one holding back 50% of his power he even undoes the one that makes him 12 times more powerful not only that but he combines his new form with his ultimate one and his new form transforms his hair is spikier his muscles are bulkier his electricity is more intense his aura is more powerful his energy is purple his fur his purple his eyes are red his electricity is red as are the aura swirls his hair is also red as he also added the Saiyan god from to this one just in case everyone can't believe how powerful Gohan has become with that Gohan charges Jiren and they begin fighting.
They exchange blows unlike before where they were equal Gohan has far surpassed Jiren in every category it becomes obvious the longer they fight in fact Jiren can barely keep up with Gohan as the fight progresses and each energy blast just drains him further as does each exchange as does maintaining his form Jiren gets desperate and goes for a huge ball attack Gohan smirks and borrows an attack from Vegeta he launches the Big Bang attack it pushes Jiren all the way to the edge of the ring then Gohan adds another blast on top of it making it explode and sending Jiren outside of the ring with Gohan being the winner of the Tournament of Power with 4 minutes to spare.
Gohan is granted the super Dragon Balls after wishing everyone back but he doesn't even know if his wish would even be possible without more information so he holds off on the wish then goes home to relax for awhile but Zeno tells Gohan that he has 10 years until he has to make his wish Gohan nods then goes to enjoy his life along with everyone who fought in the tournament after it's over everyone goes their seperate ways and Gohan goes back to school under Chi-chi and Bulma so that he can atleast have a high school diploma he picks up where he left off which is 3rd grade with help from his mother and Chi-chi he's able to complete his schooling as well as the training that Grandpa Gohan had Goku do in 8 years.
