Synopsis

Contestants continue to drop out as the Tournament of Power grows ever more brutal! As Gohan has a tough fight against the Yardratian Jimizu, who is utilizing his teleportation technique, Freeza searches for his next opponent. Just as it looks like Jimizu has defeated Gohan, Freeza comes running up. Seeing Freeza watch and smirk as Gohan gets knocked around, the Universe 7 team have the uneasy feeling that he has betrayed them. Freeza suddenly declares he's turned traitor: "Due to our shared hatred of the Saiyans, Frost and I have joined forces." Gohan suddenly finds himself in a tight spot. Meanwhile, the fight between Goku and Ribrianne accelerates! Ribrianne becomes jealous of Goku when Universe 2's God of Destruction Helles praises him, and she ups her assault even further.[1][2][3][4]

Summary

As Goku and Ribrianne continue to trade blows, Goku is impressed by her fighting spirit, though she insists she is simply fighting out of love. She fires off her Pretty Cannon and Pretty Love Machine Gun techniques at Goku, who seems to be confused by such love-based attacks. On the sidelines, the gods from the exempted universes observe the tournament's progress. Universe 8's God of Destruction Liquir thinks that Ribrianne might last until the end, while Universe 12's Kaiōshin Ag notes that all three of Universe 11's remaining warriors are quite powerful. The Universe 1 Kaiōshin Anat dismisses the tournament as a battle between low-level universes, saying it won't matter which one wins, while Universe 5's Kaiōshin Ogma is terrified to think what would have happened if their own universe was involved in the tournament.

While Freeza decides it is time to find a new "playmate", Gohan struggles against the Universe 3 robot-like warrior Boraleta. Gohan eventually retreats, but before he can go rejoin Piccolo, he is attacked by the Universe 2 Yardratian warrior Jimizu. Gohan realizes that he can't drop his guard against an opponent who can teleport, and sure enough, Jimizu starts teleporting around, attacking Gohan from his blind spots. Gohan is impressed at Jimizu's mastery of teleportation; outmatched by Jimizu's speed, he is helplessly knocked around.

Just as it looks like Jimizu will finish Gohan off, Freeza steps in, saying he's disappointed that Gohan would have a hard time against such an opponent. When Freeza makes no move to attack Jimizu, over on the sidelines Kuririn starts to worry that he has betrayed them…maybe he's going to ring Gohan out himself! The Turtle Hermit is likewise worried that Freeza is simply using this tournament as part of some evil scheme. It's even possible his ultimate goal is something beyond just being resurrected. Shin notes that if Freeza is the last man standing, he'll get to use the Super Dragon Balls, which can grant wishes even Earth's Dragon Balls can't. Whis adds that they could even kill a god. Since they don't know what Freeza's wish may be, they can't relax even if Universe 7 wins the tournament.

Meanwhile, Jimizu vows to defeat both Gohan and Freeza, but Freeza says he will wait until Jimizu and Gohan have finished their fight, and not interfere. Jimizu and Gohan start fighting again, and Jimizu still seems to have the upper hand, but when he charges up a blast to finish him off, Freeza blasts it away, claiming that his hand slipped. Watching the fight made Freeza change his mind about the whole "not interfering" thing, so Jimizu decides to take him down first. But he proves no match for Freeza, who already knows about his teleportation skills and has no trouble countering him. Freeza attacks Jimizu so brutally that the Universe 2 gods are worried he is dead, but Freeza assures them he made sure not to hit his vitals. He knocks the still quite gravely injured Jimizu out of the arena, eliminating him from the tournament.

Gohan is mad at Freeza's brutal methods, but Freeza says none of it would have been necessary if Gohan had simply fought at full power right from the start. Just then, Frost arrives and congratulates Freeza on his wonderful fight. It turns out that the two of them are in cahoots (since both have a bone to pick with the Saiyans), and now plan on defeating Gohan. Freeza offers to let Frost take care of Gohan, but Frost insists Freeza have that honor. After all, this way he can confirm that Freeza truly intends to work with him. He'll watch from the sidelines with a beam attack ready in case Freeza betrays him.

As Freeza starts attacking Gohan, the Omni-Kings are surprised to see two people from the same universe duking it out. Champa's not entirely sure what's going on, but cheers Freeza on regardless. Gohan finally gets mad and starts landing some blows. Seeing Gohan use his true power, Freeza decides to get serious too, powering up into his golden form. It doesn't take Golden Freeza long to knock Gohan unconscious. Frost, who by now has stopped charging his beam attack, comes up to congratulate Freeza; he didn't know he was so powerful.

Freeza says that if Frost trains he should be able to obtain such power too…well, maybe not his golden form, but at least his Full Power form. Freeza demonstrates this beefy transformation, which Frost can indeed perform as well. Freeza advises Frost that since this form quickly eats up stamina, in order to use it effectively he must go all-out right from the start of battle. He offers Frost one last piece of advice: not to trust anyone. And with that, he blasts Frost out of the arena.

As the Great Priest announces Frost's elimination, nobody is quite sure what happened. Then Gohan gets back up, and it turns out that his battle with Freeza was a sham. Gohan explains that he realized from Freeza's first attack that he wasn't serious, and decided to play along. Freeza claims otherwise he really would have killed him. He goes on to say that there is no way he would ever actually team up with a small-timer like Frost. Outraged, Frost tries to attack Freeza from his spot in the bleachers, but the Omni-Kings intervene and quickly erase Frost. Attacks from outside the arena are not allowed, and if it happens again they will destroy all of Universe 6!

Beerus thinks that now they can be certain Freeza is on their side, though Kuririn is not so sure. Freeza walks away, telling Gohan that the two of them should continue to work together to win the tournament. Elsewhere, Goku continues to struggle against Ribrianne.

29 minutes remain in the Tournament of Power.
