Dyspo's attribute isn't strong it's fast, it would make more sense for him to be weaker than both of them individually because having an edge on power and technique isn't quite fair, and it's not exactly how dyspo was built up until now that you would assume he would be such, for crying out loud the guy ran away because was scared of Freeza final form's ruthlessness and he is supposed to be a fighter of Justice..
When I say strength, I mean his overall prowess has a fighter, which includes his speed, physical strength, techniques, tactics, etc. That scene where Dyspo runs away from Freeza was just a minor scene that the writers would easily overlook if they wanted to make Dyspo stronger. It's similar to how Dyspo got knocked away by a fodder like Narirama, even though he's clearly hundreds of times stronger than Narirama.

Those little skirmishes don't mean anything,murichim from U10 was once fighting evenly with toppo and he was fodderised by freeza.
Why power levels are important?

That's what I'm saying. I'm saying that the minor scene where Dyspo runs away from Final Form Freeza is similar to the scene where Narirama hits him in that both scenes were insignificant and Toei won't care about them later on.

It was obvious that Vegeta would not defeat Jiren, the most important will be his performance in the fight, which may be better than Goku Kaioken x20 and Hitto.

It will also be interesting to see how the two will fight together. At least Vegeta will not be eliminated and it shows that he will still have importance in this tournament.

But it surprises me that Gohan will help Freeza against Dyspo. The emperor was supposed to be easy to deal with Dyspo, but we have to see how the fight will unfold

I interpret the Dyspo escaping scene to be him trying to avoid the possibility of yet another stronger opponent countering his speed and tearing his ass apart in combat afterwards. After all, Freeza went Golden a couple of times in the tournament.

First it was Freeza helping Gohan defeat some Yardrat fodder and now Gohan is the one to assist Freeza against a justifiably powerful foe.

Even though Vegeta didn't get the W at the very least he didn't get ringed out by Jiren, good on him. Also I'm pretty surprised that Freeza is struggling with Dyspo I mean I get that Dyspo is no push over but I didn't think he'd be that much of a problem. Man oh man I can't wait for 125 my man Toppo is about to kick some ass and I can't wait to see him in action.

If Vegeta's "cool" moment is in February then what do you think it'll be if not being able to fight Jiren in the next 2 episodes ? Him taking the fall for Goku like what 18 did for 17 ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I hope he will team up with 17 against Toppo since it sounds like Toppo is powering up even further and Vegeta is going to be weakened.

I don't think they've ever interacted so that'd be interesting. I'm sure there'll still be surprises down the line but so far 17 has easily been the biggest one by lasting this long and doing what he's done.

I wonder if he'll be in future ars based on how much they used him here.

Wow, this looks quite interesting. Wasn't Gohan and 17 fighting with Toppo? So why he left to help Freeza with Dyspo? Also WTF with the 125 title? This means Toppo will surpass Jiren himself? :shock:

I'm saying this because Toshio said he was about to write 17 and then 3 weeks later he said he's finished writing a cool Vegeta moment. so i'm hoping they are in the same episode as you said they haven't interacted yet except Vegeta telling him he strole the spotlight last episode which was funny. i hope it happens.

This would probably mean that after killing is allowed by Zeno, Toppo DECIDES TO DO THE HAKAI!!!

OMG that is an asspull,toei is a hack.Make sense,he is the God of destruction canditate,the anime should have elaborated on this part like the manga.
    I'm in the minority that want Gohan to be rung out by Dyspo while Frieza takes him out causing Toppo to be angry and attack him,Frieza vs Toppo is the perfect match up,just imagine the great dialogues between those two.
