Synopsis

Universe 7's No. 17 has defeated Universe 2's Kakunsa. Universe 2's Ribrianne furiously comes at No. 17 to attack him. But then Universe 10's yoga warrior Zircor challenges Ribrianne to battle. Meanwhile, Universe 7's Son Goku battles Universe 2's Jimizu. Universe 10 is backed into a corner by the Universe 2 warriors, who have shown their true colors! Then Son Gohan and the rest of the Universe 7 team likewise challenge Botamo as well as the Universe 10 warriors to battle!! Having regained his previous form, Gohan repeatedly strikes Botamo's stomach, then sends him flying out of bounds with a Kamehameha. Just when Gohan and Piccolo are moving to fight, the Universe 10 warriors launch an attack. Gohan is forced into a brutal fight against a desperate opponent with nothing to lose! Gohan glares at his next opponent, Obni. They charge at each other and throw their fists, but Gohan's fist is a moment faster, and sinks into Obni. As Obni is sent flying, from his head falls a locket pendant...

Summary

Ribrianne vows vengeance against No. 17 for knocking out Kakunsa, calling him an evil that threatens Universe 2. But No. 17 doesn't seem to mind being called "evil", and says he'll force Ribrianne from the stage in order to ensure Universe 7's survival. They begin fighting to see which is stronger, Ribrianne's love or No. 17's wish, and seem to trade blows evenly.

Meanwhile Goku is still fighting against Roasie, who is likewise upset over Kakunsa's defeat. She fires a barrage of energy balls to fully surround Goku, cutting off all escape routes, but No. 17 jumps in at the last minute to shield Goku with an energy barrier. No. 17 offers to help Goku out further, but Goku refuses, so No. 17 goes back to fighting Ribrianne, who is mad at No. 17 for ignoring her. Goku begins his counterattack, having now grown accustomed to Roasie's fighting style, and has her on the ropes before too long.

Ribrianne steps in between Goku and Roasie to break up their fight and check that Roasie isn't injured, before the Universe 2 Yardratian Jimizu pops in and teleports the two of them to safety. Goku and No. 17 go off to find new opponents, leaving Beerus annoyed at Goku's behavior, but Champa says Beerus has more than Goku to be worried about...and indeed, at that moment Gohan and Piccolo are confronted by Botamo. Gohan elects to fight Botamo on his own, unleashing a flurry of punches that don't faze him in the least. Piccolo knows Gohan must be aware that Botamo doesn't take damage or tire out, so he's curious how he plans to fight him.

Goku stops by to observe Gohan's fight. He told Gohan about his own battle with Botamo, so he's sure Gohan has some strategy in mind. Sure enough, though Gohan's constant stream of punches don't hurt Botamo, they manage to lift his feet off the ground and slowly push him back towards the edge of the arena. Realizing too late, Champa warns Botamo first to counterattack, then to run away, but Botamo fails at both. Gohan finally sends Botamo flying out of the arena with a Kamehameha, and easily blocks Botamo's parting shot.

Satisfied, Goku goes off elsewhere, while new challengers appear before Gohan and Piccolo: the Universe 10 warriors Obni and Rubalt. Obni has picked Gohan out as a worthy opponent, while Rubalt is itching to fight Piccolo. Both accept the challenge, while elsewhere Jimizu takes out Universe 10's Zircor, leaving Obni and Rubalt as Universe 10's last two remaining fighters. On the sidelines, Gowasu thinks they should accept their fate, but Rumoosh is still pinning his hopes on Obni and Rubalt.

The two pairs of fighters begin to battle, and Obni is impressed that Gohan can keep up with his movements; he was indeed right to select him as an opponent. However, Obni starts splitting up into a series of afterimages, and though Gohan can still sense Obni's ki, he can't pin down his position. As Gohan struggles, Gowasu's mood turns around as he now thinks they have a shot at winning. In the Universe 7 section of the bleachers, Whis explains that Obni is shifting his internal ki away from his body's movements, thereby foiling Gohan's ability to track his position by sensing ki.

Meanwhile, Piccolo fires a series of energy blasts at Rubalt, and while they seem to miss, in reality they surround him and cut off all escape routes. Piccolo directs these blasts at Rubalt all at once, knocking him unconscious. To finish the job, Piccolo throws Rubalt out of the arena, thus properly eliminating him according to tournament rules. After being teleported to Universe 10's part of the bleachers, Rubalt apologizes to Gowasu for losing, but by now Gowasu is so certain Obni is unbeatable that he doesn't even mind.

Gohan continues to be pummeled by Obni's attacks, but he refuses to give up. The next time one of Obni's attacks connects, Gohan immediately counterattacks, this time managing to hit Obni. Beerus and Whis realize that Gohan is letting himself get hit in order to determine Obni's position and successfully counterattack. While effective, this means that Gohan will continue to take damage from Obni's attacks. Thankfully though, before too long Gohan's attacks are hitting more and more, due to Obni no longer having enough energy left to continue feinting. Gohan finishes off with another Kamehameha, sending Obni out of bounds.

With that, all of Universe 10's warriors have been eliminated, and the Great Priest announces that their universe will accordingly be destroyed. Despite this, Gowasu genuinely commends Obni for putting up a good fight. Gohan sees a locket on the ground, which fell from Obni's body as he was sent flying. The locket contains a photo of Obni with what appear to be his wife and child, and Gohan sighs deeply as he looks at it. As the two Omni-Kings combine forces to annihilate Universe 10, the Universe 10 fighters and gods all vanish, leaving only the angel Kusu behind to mourn for Rumoosh. Piccolo calls for Gohan that it's time for them to go, and after bracing himself Gohan agrees and follows after.

37 minutes remain in the Tournament of Power.
