Synopsis
White-hot battles continue at the Tournament of Power. It’s time for the female warriors of Universe 2 to transform! The warrior Brianne joins forces with her allies Sanka and Sue and transforms into Ribrianne! How powerful is she?! No. 17 doesn't hesitate to attack while Brianne is in the middle of her transformation. But he is criticized as acting tastelessly by not only the people of Universe 2, but Toppo and even Goku criticize No. 17 for hindering Brianne and co.’s transformation…![1][2]
Summary
The Omni-Kings use their GodPads to review the current state of play, and see that quite a few warriors have already been eliminated. Elsewhere, the Universe 2 warrior Brianne de Chateau tells her comrades Sanka-Ku and Sous Roas that it's time they show off their power.
As the three stand atop a tall piece of rubble, Brianne first shouts to draw all the other contestants' attention, then she and her friends introduce themselves and begin their transformation. Beerus mocks their transformation process, but the Universe 2 God of Destruction Helles explains that this is a ceremony demonstrating their fighting spirit.
Suddenly though the transformation is interrupted by a huge explosion. It turns out No. 17 attacked the trio since they were leaving themselves wide open. Brianne (now covered in dust) angrily tells No. 17 that the entire transformation process has meaning, and therefore must not be interrupted. Toppo (a big fan of poses himself) calls No. 17 rude, and Goku likewise is eager to see the trio's full power. With Toppo's approval, they begin their transformation again...all the way from the very beginning, with their self-introductions.
The three complete their transformations this time, with Brianne becoming the rotund Ribrianne, Sanka becoming the bestial Kakunsa, and Sue becoming the all-around silly-looking Roasie. Helles brags that regardless of their mortal level, the trio's "love level" is the highest in all the universes. While Kuririn thinks that they were cuter before the transformation, Whis maintains that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, something true from person to person as well as from universe to universe.
The trio start off by firing their "Light of Love" technique, which fills the arena with an aroma that makes those who inhale burn with desire. While this technique seems to rob the Universe 10 warriors of their fighting spirit, the stoic Universe 7 team manages to tough it out. Even the Turtle Hermit seems to be immune, thanks to his training with Pu'er. Gohan changes strategy and tells his group to leave their current location and go fight on their own. Vegeta mocks the "Light of Love" technique as not being worth the wait, but Ribrianne brags that it was merely a greeting, and that the real fight starts now.
Super Saiyan Vegeta and Ribrianne trade blows, and before long Vegeta realizes that their transformation wasn't just for show. Ribrianne rolls up into a ball and charges Vegeta, who prepares to punch her as she approaches, but he ultimately finds her so creepy that he can't help but dodge out of the way. Instead, Ribrianne runs into the Universe 10 warrior Dyrasen (currently squaring off against Piccolo), and sends him flying out of the arena.
Meanwhile, Goku is having a hard time against Roasie, whose "Yacchaina Fist" attacks grow sharper the more times she punches at him. Roasie next fires off a volley of energy blasts, but when Goku tries to parry one, it stops in midair before his fist can make contact, then flies at his face. Helles explains how Roasie's attacks are as fickle as a maiden's heart, able to freely switch from gentle to intense. No. 17 likewise seems to be having a hard time against Kakunsa, who has the instincts of a wild beast. Once she picks a target, Kakunsa will hunt her prey to the very end, and she's still angry at No. 17 for interrupting her transformation earlier.
At home in the "wilderness" of the heavily battered arena, Kakunsa jumps off the various pieces of rubble to continuously attack No. 17 from multiple angles. Confident in her bestial stamina, Kakunsa's strategy is to continue attacking No. 17 until he collapses, then finish him off. When it looks like No. 17 is about to go down, she closes in for the kill, but is suddenly stopped by No. 17's energy barrier. No. 17 was merely pretending to have weakened; being an android, he's confident in his stamina as well.
No. 17 sends Kakunsa flying out of the ring, but at the last moment she is caught by the winged Universe 2 warrior Bikal, and knocks No. 17 back with a counterattack. Kakunsa and Bikal share a special moment together, and the rest of the Universe 2 team is touched by their love and cooperation. No. 18 offers to lend No. 17 a hand, but he says he's got things covered; white he had gotten careless around the "beast warrior" since she reminded him of the animals on his island, he's determined to fight seriously now. No. 17 first takes out Bikal, earning Kakunsa's wrath. Even when Ribrianne steps in to help her, Kakunsa vows to defeat No. 17 on her own to avenge Bikal.
No. 17 and Kakunsa trade blows once again, and No. 17 fires off a beam attack which fails to hit her. However, No. 17's real reason for firing this beam was to propel himself backwards onto the glowing orb that lights the stadium. Now with a firm footing, he nails Kakunsa with a large beam attack, finally sending her out of bounds. Goku notes that No. 17 never used a technique like that when they sparred on the island, so No. 17 really was concealing some of his power back then.
With Kakunsa officially eliminated from the tournament, Ribrianne is furious at No. 17 for defeating two of her teammates, and vows revenge. There are still 39 minutes to go in the Tournament of Power!
