Here's a novel concept: Give Vegeta his OWN thing for once. I'm getting really tired of him just chasing after Goku, and what's even worse is the fans seem to be completely OK with this. What if he made some sort of technique that amplified his speed and power similar to Kaioken? Maybe...I don't know just throwing shit against the wall here...He somehow transfers the overwhelming power of the Final Flash and utilizes it as a power source to boost his power 10 fold for a short time. Call it "Final Assault" or something I don't know lmao. Again, just spit balling. Just SOMETHING, ANYTHING other than what Goku does.
I just think it'd be extremely lame and predictable if he were to achieve UI, or at least achieve it this soon after Goku (literally like 10 minutes of in-universe time).
Also, I think the one saving grace for Vegeta fans is that I can't picture him just getting bodied the whole time, because this time, there's no need for Vegeta to fill the spot he usually does as a jobber that hypes up the big bad. This is because Jiren has ALREADY fought GOKU in a new form that had never been seen before, and he STILL beat him. Jiren has already proven his worth, there's no narrative purpose in building him up anymore. Having Vegeta be used as the sacrificial lamb would be redundant and completely unnecessary at this point.
Or I'm wrong and Vegeta receives the most embarrassing ass raping of all time.

I don't think Vegeta is getting a transformation, I think it's far more likely that he maybe figures out a weakness Jiren holds that when exploited allows Vegeta to hold his own.
THIS. THIS is what we need to happen. No transformations, no contrived holding back by Jiren that allows Vegeta to get some hits in, no predictable Vegeta pummeling. I'd love to see Vegeta actually use his supposed "genius battle tactics" and figure out some gimmick that can allow him to hang with Jiren for a time. Of course, he'll still probably ultimately lose, but that would be FAR better than having Vegeta just charge in without a plan and get curb stomped.
Please Toei, surprise me.

I just have no interest in seeing Jiren rag doll Vegeta for an entire episode. And even if Vegeta unlocks UI I know for a fact that toei wouldn't given Vegeta the win over Goku. I'd rather Vegeta and Toppo resume their fight and then have Vegeta knock him out. I dunno 122 will be great in the art and animation department but I feel little hype if Vegeta gets knocked out without even having a big win, just my thoughts though.
I have a feeling that "the strongest" MIGHT just mean the Pride Troopers in general, not specifically Jiren. I think people may be in for a disappointment (or relief) when that episode spoiler description is released. It just doesn't seem logical that he would challenge Jiren alone, assuming guys like Goku, Gohan, and Freeza are still around.
