Synopsis

After Goku uses up all of his stamina with Ultra Instinct, Universe 2’s five warriors close in on him, using this as a chance to defeat him. Ribrianne targets Goku, but then No. 17 and No. 18 appear! No. 18 takes Goku's place and challenges Ribrianne to one-on-one combat, while No. 17 takes on Roasie. Can the two of them prevail against Universe 2's strongest?! In order to use "Ultra Instinct", Vegeta mimics Goku and tries to act unconsciously! But he fails and is hit by Catopesra's attack!

Summary

Thanks to Ultra Instinct, Goku has defeated Kafla but has once again used up all his stamina. Gohan and Piccolo rush over to help him, but are intercepted by Universe 6's remaining two warriors, the Namekians Saonel and Pilina. Champa tells them not to lose, since if they do it will mean the end of Universe 6, and Saonel assures him that they will prevail.

Meanwhile, Vegeta battles Universe 3's Catopesra, who switches from Speed Mode into Battle Mode, increasing his attack power 300-fold. Determined to achieve Ultra Instinct, Vegeta tries to move unconsciously, but gets pummeled by Catopesra as Beerus yells at him to defend himself. Eventually Vegeta gets sick of this and blocks one of Catopesra's attacks, then begins beating him up (something Whis thinks he's more suited for).

It seems that Goku's battle has triggered everyone to start fighting again. Helles telepathically gives Ribrianne and Roasie a "beautiful" strategy, while No. 17 tends to No. 18's injured leg. It turns out that No. 17's gotten used to treating injured animals while working on his island, and has treated his family's injuries too. No. 18 heard from Goku about No. 17's wish to travel the world in a cruise ship with his family and thinks that sounds nice, especially since she spends all her time looking after Kuririn and Marron.

No. 18's leg is now bandaged up, but No. 17 tells her not to overdo it. They rush over to where Goku is, but Ribrianne and the rest of the Universe 2 fighters are there already. Like love, they attack suddenly and without warning (or so Ribrianne says, anyway). Helles tells them to make sure Goku gets some "rest", while Beerus is appalled that they would team up 5-to-1 against someone who's already worn-out. Helles though is certain Goku poses a threat to her universe, and won't pass up this opportunity to take him down.

Ribrianne and Roasie launch a joint "Love Symphony" attack at Goku, but Nos. 17 and 18 step in to deflect it. Roasie is mad at them for interfering, but Ribrianne assures her that true love must always overcome such obstacles. Ribrianne decides to take care of the androids first, and leaves the remaining three Universe 2 warriors to make sure Goku doesn't get away in the meantime (since she insists on defeating Goku herself). Roasie goes after No. 17 in order to avenge Kakunsa, while Ribrianne battles No. 18.

Although Ribrianne had told them to simply watch over Goku, Rabanra and Zirloin think that they should take him out. After all, they failed at their attempt to use the Potara, so this way they can at least do something praise-worthy. Goku is ready to take all three of them on, but Beerus says he hasn't got a chance in his current condition and should run away.

Roasie attacks No. 17 with her Yacchaina Fist fighting style (which the Omni-Kings have fun imitating), while No. 18 dodges Ribrianne's Lovely Machine Gun blasts while managing to get a kick in edge-wise. Ribrianne yells at No. 18 to stop running away and fight her fair and square, but No. 18 says she didn't come to fight, she came to win. No. 18 says that unlike Ribrianne, she's married and has a daughter, so she has a lot to fight for. As Kuririn cheers No. 18 on, Ribrianne is shocked to realize that he must be her husband: he's not beautiful! He doesn't even have a nose!

Ribrianne declares that she is trying to send love out to all the universes, so she can't lose to someone like No. 18, who's simply fighting for the sake of some bald guy. But No. 18 insists that Ribrianne will lose, which ticks her off even more, and the two recommence their battle. No. 18 tries to dodge Ribrianne's Maiden's Charge, but can't on her injured leg, so No. 17 kicks Ribrianne out of the way. Nos. 17 and 18 both manage to dodge Roasie's blast, which end up hitting Ribrianne.

Nos. 17 and 18 go back to fighting their respective opponents one-on-one, until Ribrianne fires her "Max Love Cannon" attack at No. 18, confident that she won't be able to dodge in midair. No. 18 though propels herself out of the way with a ki blast, and the attack hits Roasie instead. As Roasie struggles against the blast, Ribrianne tries to go save her, but No. 18 stops her while No. 17 fires a blast of his own at Roasie, knocking her out of bounds.

Although Ribrianne has powered down and reverted to her regular "Brianne" form, she still manages to catch No. 18 off-guard with an underground attack, imprisoning her within the rose-like "Big Amour" technique. No. 17 goes to help her, but is attacked by the Universe 3 warrior Biarra. Brianne receives love from Helles and the others from Universe 2 and transforms into a giant version of Ribrianne, something so beautiful even Helles can hardly believe it.

As the gigantic Ribrianne prepares to rain down her "Fist of Love", No. 18 thinks that she's had it, until her thoughts of Kuririn and Marron (and Kuririn's shouts of encouragement) inspire her to break free of her bounds and counterattack. Shattering Ribrianne's giant fist, she runs up her arm and avoids her blasts (with some help from No. 17, who finally arrives after defeating Biarra), then punches through her head. As Ribrianne's giant body dissolves, she reverts once more to Brianne and falls from the ring.

Materializing in the bleachers, the defeated Brianne begins to cry, but Helles assures her she fought well. Shin is happy that the power of No. 18 and Kuririn's love prevailed, but No. 18 soon stops him from celebrating too much. Seeing No. 18 and Kuririn's interactions, Brianne realizes that there are other forms of love out there. Now Universe 2 has only three warriors remaining: Rabanra, Zirloin, and Zarbuto. Helles tells them to win, even if it's not beautiful. The three agree, and move in on Goku.

15 minutes remain in the Tournament of Power.
