Synopsis
In the World of Void, eighty fighters gather on the martial arts stage. Eight universes fight for survival as the curtain finally rises on the Tournament of Power. With their universes on the line, these warriors await the gong for the match to begin. As team leader, can Gohan put his plan into action?! Finding a means of survival in group tactics, Gohan passes his strategy on to his teammates. However, the outlook is starting to look grim as multiple people, Freeza in particular, act on their own. What will Freeza do?! Beerus is on pins and needles?! After the Great Priest explains the rules against killing and the use of weapons and recovery items, the Omni-Kings finally announce the beginning of the tournament where losing universes shall be annihilated!![1][2][3]
Summary
With the warriors all assembled, the Great Priest explains the tournament rules once again. The time limit will be 100 tak (about 48 Earth minutes), marked by the gradual descent of the pillar in the center of the tournament arena. Killing and the use of weapons or healing items are prohibited, and contestants are eliminated by being knocked out of the ring. Flying or floating is prohibited unless the contestant has wings.
The explanation over, Gohan advises the Universe 7 fighters to rely on teamwork: they should guard each other's backs and use superior numbers to take on opponents. However, Vegeta hates this plan, and Freeza seems uninterested. Elsewhere, Kale is intimidated by all the tough-looking fighters around, but Caulifla says she can win easily if she just cuts loose. Beerus shouts to his team about the importance of team work, and gets mocked by Quitela.
Finally, the Great Priest declares the start of the Tournament of Power, and all hell breaks loose as warriors rush at each other and begin fighting. Goku spots Toppo and goes off on his own to fight him, but gets intercepted by Universe 4's Ganos. Back with the other Universe 7 fighters, Gohan calls out to Goku and again stresses the importance of teamwork, but Vegeta, No. 17, No. 18, and Freeza all likewise go off to fight on their own. Gohan is disheartened to see his strategy fall apart so soon, but the Turtle Hermit tells him not to worry about it.
Meanwhile, the robot-like Universe 3 fighter Narirama enters his "Super Survival Mode", a spin attack that sends Universe 2's Ribrianne and many others flying. Soon though, Hit and Basil step in and each take out one of Narirama's arms.
Basil goes on to kick Universe 10's winged fighter Rylibeu out of the arena. Rylibeu screams as she plummets down into the void, but suddenly finds herself sitting in the stadium seating next to the Universe 10 gods (it turns out this is what happens to fighters when they get knocked out of bounds).
The Omni-Kings pull out their "GodPad" tablets they use to track the tournament's progress, and mark Rylibeu as eliminated. Universe 10's God of Destruction Rumoosh yells at Rylibeu for getting knocked out despite having wings, and is ashamed that one of his universe's fighters was the first to be eliminated, but Gowasu remains optimistic.
Gohan, Piccolo, Tenshinhan, Kuririn, and the Turtle Hermit are surrounded by Lavenda and a horde of other enemy fighters. Though they stick to Gohan's plan and guard each other's backs, their special attacks prove ineffective against their opponents. Basil continues to fight against Universe 10's Napapa, a pig-man sumo wrestler, but Napapa manages to repel Basil's energy blasts and avoid a ring-out. Rumoosh brags about Napapa's skills at "Dohyodoru", a Universe 10 martial art (essentially just sumo wrestling).
Still fighting Ganos, Goku suddenly spots Toppo, but Toppo is attacked by Universe 10's Mulithim. Next Goku sees Jiren, who is just standing there. Regardless, the Omni-Kings can tell Jiren is someone to keep an eye on. As Goku sizes Jiren up, he is caught off guard and grabbed by another fighter, Universe 4's Nink. As Goku struggles to break free, Nink backs up to the edge of the arena. He plans on going out of bounds and taking Goku with him! Nink is fine being eliminated if it means getting rid of a powerful enemy like Goku.
As Nink reaches the edge of the arena, Goku suddenly becomes Super Saiyan Blue and breaks free of his hold. Nink falls down into the void, but Goku manages to grab onto the edge of the arena and pulls himself up, reverting from Blue to his base form immediately afterwards.
Beerus chews Goku out for not becoming Blue immediately, but Goku explains that he wanted to conserve his power. Though he's back in the game, Goku is soon surrounded by a group of enemies, including all three members of the Trio de Dangers. Regardless, he's still itching for a fight.
47 minutes remain until the end of the Tournament of Power!
