Synopsis
After witnessing Jiren's power, Goku can't help but want to challenge him. However, the moment Goku springs at Jiren, he is hit by Toppo's Justice Flash and sent flying. After landing, Goku again runs into the Universe 6 Saiyan Caulifla, and then Jiren sends five of his Pride Troopers comrades (including Casserale) after Goku and co. Entrusted by Toppo with the task of defeating Goku, these five warriors each have their own special abilities, and give Goku a hard time. Casserale fights as well as you'd expect of the leader of the Pride Troopers. To defeat them, Goku teams up with the likes of Kale and Caulifla! Though Casserale is full of confidence, No. 17 and No. 18 come to Goku's rescue! Meanwhile, the Turtle Hermit is putting up such a fight that you can hardly tell his age. When he loses sight of his comrades, he escapes this predicament by paralyzing his opponent with the Bankoku-Bikkuri-Shō until his comrades arrive! "Muten Rōshi" is still alive and kicking!![1][2][3]
Summary
Off on the sidelines, Caulifla looks over Kale as she wakes up, and tells her how strong she was, but Kale doesn't remember her rampage at all. Meanwhile, Goku challenges Jiren to battle, but Jiren remains silent. Suddenly Toppo flies up and knocks Goku far away with his Justice Flash. Toppo tells Jiren he'll send a team of five Pride Troopers over to defeat Goku. This way, he and Jiren can conserve their stamina for later.
Goku pops up nearby Caulifla and Kale. Caulifla wonders what he's up to, but he explains that he was sent flying and only ended up here by coincidence. Soon Casserale and four other Pride Troopers arrive, and Goku guesses from their uniforms that they're from the same universe as Toppo. Casserale and his troops introduce themselves: besides Casserale himself, there is Tupper, Zoire, Cocotte, and Kettle. Tupper identifies Kale as the one who defeated the Pride Trooper Vuon, and Casserale vows to avenge his comrade by defeating all three of them. Though Goku warns Caulifla and Kale to get to safety, Caulifla insists and sticking around to fight these "interesting" opponents, and convinces Kale to do the same.
Elsewhere, the Turtle Hermit uses his Bankoku-Bikkuri-Shō technique to paralyze Universe 3's The Priccio, though this means the Turtle Hermit himself is also unable to move so long as he keeps the technique going. Fortunately Tenshinhan arrives and finishes The Priccio off with a Shin-Kikōhō, and Gohan and Piccolo aren't far behind. Their group was separated during Kale's rampage, and now they had better focus on reuniting the Universe 7 team. Freeza arrives, holding the Universe 10 warrior Murichim by the head.
Vegeta follows close behind Freeza, insisting that Murichim is his prey, but Freeza doesn't care and sends Murichim out of bounds. Now that just leaves No. 17, No. 18, and Goku.
The Omni-Kings use their GodPads to check off the defeated warriors, which are starting to pile up, and the Great Priest notes that the fighters are starting to tire out now. They wonder where Goku is, and it turns out he is fighting Tupper. It turns out Tupper can manipulate his bodyweight, and he climbs onto Goku's back to see how much Goku can endure. While Tupper holds Goku in place, Zoire spins his body at high speeds and hits Goku with the resulting tornado attack, the Justice Spin.
Meanwhile Caulifla is having a hard time against Kettle's barrage of ki blasts. Kale is distracted by Caulifla's plight long enough for Cocotte to imprison her in a Cocotte Zone, an alternate dimension she creates that resembles a circular barrier. On the sidelines, Casserale laughs that perhaps it was overkill to have five Pride Troopers take on three opponents, but he is suddenly sent flying by No. 17, who has arrived along with No. 18. Casserale is surpised that No. 17 was able to sneak up on him (presumably since No. 17 lacks ki). Nos. 17 and 18 taunt that with them there the battle is now five against five, so Casserale should have no excuses if the Pride Troopers lose!
Casserale turns his ki into a pair of blades around his hands (a technique he dubs "Justice Saber") and attacks the twins, but they dodge. 18 flies off, leaving 17 to block Casserale's "Justice Bomber" attack with an energy barrier, and goes to rescue Goku from Tupper and Zoire's clutches. The two Pride Troopers now team up to perform a "Double Pride Spin", with Tupper rolling up into a disc which Zoire throws around with his tornado.
However, 18 manages to grab Tupper and hurl him towards the edge of the arena. Though Tupper manages to stop himself right on the edge, the ground beneath him breaks off, taking him with it.
Zoire escapes and radios Casserale to inform him of Tupper's defeat, so Casserale breaks off his battle with 17 and regroups with his remaining troops. Casserale's new strategy is to first eliminate Caulifla and Kale, who he's certain they can handle. Cocotte creates a dome-shaped "Cocotte Zone Max" around them to prevent any other warriors from interfering (even Goku is unable to teleport inside, since the dome prevents him from sensing the ki of those within). Though Casserale would normally be ashamed to use such tactics, the situation leaves him no choice. He sends Zoire to go finish off Kale, but Caulifla shields Kale from attack, vowing to protect her protégée.
As Caulifla is buffeted by Zoire's attacks, Kale's anger towards herself causes her to once again transform into a Super Saiyan, though this time she is not as extremely muscular as before. The transformation allows Kale to burst through the Cocotte Zone imprisoning her and stop Zoire's attack. Caulifla is impressed that Kale can now consciously control her ki without going berserk. However, Casserale is not impressed to see Kale "change her hair color" (as he puts it), and he fires a United Justice Stream attack together with the other Pride Troopers.
Kale and Caulifla (now a Super Saiyan as well) fire back with a combined beam attack of their own, and Kale returns to her full-on beefy mode once again to finally break through the Pride Trooper's max power, sending Casserale, Kettle, and Zoire out of bounds.
Cocotte's max dome is destroyed in the beam struggle, allowing Goku to meet up with Caulifla and Kale again. Caulifla thinks Goku should thank them for defeating three enemies, and explains that Kale was able to control her "ultra-super power" (though Kale quickly reverts to her regular form and falls unconscious).
Meanwhile Cocotte is still inside the arena, having retreated to safety inside a smaller Cocotte Zone, but No. 18 simply picks her up, barrier and all, and tosses her out of bounds. The Universe 11 God of Destruction Vermoud is aghast that five Pride Troopers have been defeated back-to-back; now only four are left!
The Great Priest notes that the opening stage of the tournament is now over, and only the strong remain; the battle will only get more intense from here! Goku allows the exhausted Caulifla and Kale to get away. He realizes they will grow stronger, and wants them to have their real battle then. Caulifla says Goku might regret this, and No. 18 finds it questionable too, while No. 17 thinks it's humane.
But Goku and the others don't realize they are being watched by a mysterious shadow...
