Synopsis

Everyone despairs as Goku has all his techniques knocked back and gets beaten to a pulp, but then a torrent of ki never seen before erupts from Goku's prostrate body! Son Goku's eyes are silver...!! What in the world's going on?! Son Goku and Jiren the Grey finally get down to business!! What's more, Goku puts a new technique into operation?!

Summary

As Jiren pushes the Genki-Dama back at Goku, the Universe 7 team are shocked to see even their old standby fail against him. Cae and Vermoud are pleased with Jiren: with Goku gone, Universe 7's morale is sure to collapse. While Goku continues to hold out with all his might with Super Saiyan Blue Kaiō-Ken, Jiren only needs to stare at the Genki-Dama to keep it at bay. Clearly he's got power to spare, and all watching are amazed at his strength. Seeing that Jiren is as strong as a God of Destruction, if not stronger, Whis realizes that the rumors of a universe with just such a mortal were true after all.

Still, Goku continues to try and push the Genki-Dama over to Jiren. Caught between Goku and Jiren's forces, the Genki-Dama‘s expansion finally reaches its limit. Suddenly it disperses and Goku falls to the ground as a tremendous explosion shakes the arena. Toppo declares Jiren the winner! The Omni-Kings are amazed at first…but they and everyone else soon start to worry about Goku. Not only does he seem to have lost, but there's no sight of him anywhere, within the ring or out, and nobody can sense his ki. Was he killed in the explosion? And if so, does this mean Jiren is disqualified?

The Great Priest steps in to declare that since Goku was apparently killed by his own technique, Jiren will incur no penalty. Though the remaining contestants haven't lost their fighting spirit, for a while nobody makes a move. The Great Priest reminds everyone that the tournament's time limit is not even halfway over, and so they must continue to fight. As Beerus wonders if Goku really is gone, the entire World of Void starts shaking from an intense flow of power. Could it be…?

Yes, Goku's back, and all sparkly this time! With bright silver pupils, dark silver upturned hair, and a blazing aura to match, it is clear something has happened to him, but what? Though he's releasing a stupendous amount of heat, his ki seems fearsomely calm. Even Whis has never seen Goku like this before. Jiren attacks Goku, but this time he easily dodges all of his attacks. Gohan can tell that Goku's movements are totally different from before: not only is he fast, it's also impossible to tell when he's going to attack or dodge. Vegeta likewise finds Goku's new movements unreal.

Toppo and Dispo step in, but Goku has no trouble tossing them aside and avoiding Toppo's Justice Flash blasts, causing Tenshinhan to marvel at the speed of his reactions and the accuracy of his movements. Finally, Jiren signals to Toppo to stay out of this. Jiren and Goku begin to battle again, and the two seem evenly matched. While No. 17 is still not sure who has the upper hand, he can tell Goku has instantly closed the previously overwhelming power gap between himself and Jiren. Piccolo can tell that even now Goku continues to evolve as he fights, with his attacks against Jiren growing steadily more effective. Watching this unfold, Cae and Vermoud are distressed to see someone go toe-to-toe with Jiren.

The Great Priest and Whis have a hunch as to the identity of Goku's change, and Beerus thinks the same thing: it's Ultra Instinct! Hearing this, Champa and the other gods can't believe that a mortal like Goku could reach a state that even gods struggle with…though his movements seem to confirm this. The Great Priest thinks it is still too early to tell for sure, but this new development is definitely something to keep an eye on. Meanwhile, the Omni-Kings seem not to know about Ultra Instinct…and neither does Shin.

Even if it is Ultra Instinct, Beerus doesn't understand how this could have happened so suddenly. Whis thinks that the Genki-Dama was the trigger, causing Kuririn to wonder if Goku powered up by absorbing its energy. Tenshinhan points out that the Genki-Dama itself was no use against Jiren, so why would absorbing its power put them on even footing? Whis explains that Goku is indeed using the Genki-Dama‘s energy as a temporary power source for his exhausted body, but the key factor is something else. Namely, struggling to overcome the Genki-Dama‘s explosion as its power entered into him triggered Goku to crack through the shell of further possibilities hidden inside himself…or at least, that is what Whis thinks.

Goku and Jiren continue to evenly trade blows, but when Goku goes in for the kill, Jiren suddenly blocks his attack. Saiyans certainly are interesting, he says, but Goku seems to truly be at his limit this time. Indeed, the Ultra Instinct seems to have only been temporary: Goku reverts to his regular form and Jiren blasts him away. As he does so, Hit rushes in to attack, but Jiren effortlessly blocks his attack too. As Vados points out, warriors tend to leave themselves wide open when finishing off an opponent, but Jiren doesn't even have that weakness.

While it looks like Hit and Jiren are about to fight, Vegeta approaches Goku who is still flat on his back from Jiren's attack. Vegeta wants to know what Goku's new power was, but Goku isn't too sure himself, and he seems to be out of energy regardless. As Ribrianne approaches Vegeta and Goku's position, Goku suddenly Goku vanishes, snatched away by Freeza. Aiming a blast at Goku, Freeza is reminded of what happened on Planet Namek…

25 minutes remain in the Tournament of Power.

Variations

Throughout this episode, there are references to the "heat" (熱 netsu) that Goku is emitting in his Ultra Instinct state. The translator(s) for the Toei Animation simulcast interpreted this literally as "heat", but Steven J. Simmons took a metaphorical approach in his subtitles for Funimation, using "exhilaration", "fervor", and "passion" instead of "heat". Funimation's dub scripts are based on the Simmons subtitles, so this affected the dub as well. In episode 116, the phrasing more strongly suggests that the meaning should be literal, so Simmons changed his interpretation to a literal one for that episode.

Variation 1:

天津飯：すさまじい熱気を放ってはいるが…。
Tenshinhan (Toei): He's emitting a tremendous amount of heat, but...
Tenshinhan (Simmons): He's giving off an incredible exhilaration, but...
Tien (dub): I'm sensing an incredible strength from him, and yet...

Variation 2:

ウイス：と　ここまではよいのですがあの熱さ　どうなりますかねぇ。
Whis (Toei): That heat... I'm not sure about this.
Whis (Simmons): Which is fine up to this point, but I wonder what will come of that fervor.
Whis (dub): Yes, he's now in uncharted territory. And it remains to be seen what will happen to him as he tries to sustain this fervor.

Variation 3:

ジレン：この熱さ…それが　お前の限界だ。
Jiren (Toei): This heat... That is your limit.
Jiren (Simmons): This passion... is the extent of what you've got.
Jiren (dub): Your passion is expended. You have nothing more to offer.

The Funimation subtitles and dub for this episode were never revised.

Availability
