"Accelerating Tragedy: Universes Vanish…" is the one hundred and eighteenth episode of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super. The episode first aired in Japan on Fuji TV on 03 December 2017, receiving a ratings share of 4.6%. It was written by Hiroshi Yamaguchi and directed by Masato Mitsuka.
Synopsis
Universe 2 and Universe 6, with their limited numbers of remaining warriors, launch attacks on Goku, as well as Gohan, and Piccolo. Gohan and Piccolo struggle against the desperate attacks of Universe 6's final warriors, Saonel and Pilina! Piccolo therefore suggests a method of attack their opponents won't expect. Goku and the others are tormented by their frantic and desperate attacks, but Goku's Kamehameha knocks Zarbuto and co. out of bounds.[1][2]
Summary
The people of Universe 2 panic to see that Ribrianne has lost, but she assures them that it's not over yet and asks them to keep cheering on their remaining warriors. Indeed, at that moment the Universe 2 warriors Zirloin, Zarbuto, and Rabanra fight 3-to-1 against Goku, who is so tired that he can no longer afford to make a single mistake against them. On the sidelines Champa gloats that with their ace gone, Universe 2 hasn't got long to live…though he also recognizes that his universe is in the same boat. With two warriors left, they've actually got fewer than Universe 2, so they can't even try to wait until the tournament time runs out and win by numbers.
Caulifla yells at Universe 6's remaining fighters, the Namekians Saonel and Pilina, threatening to beat them up if they lose…even though if they lose she will be destroyed along with them. Still, her words manage to raise Saonel and Pilina's fighting spirit, though there's something else different about them. Fighting against the two Namekians, Piccolo and Gohan can sense that something has suddenly changed in their opponents; they're growing faster and stronger. Meanwhile, Zirloin and co. are powered up by the love of Universe 2's people, and transform in much the same way as Ribrianne, Kakunsa, and Roasie did…right down to now wearing the same sort of costumes.
The miraculously transformed Zirloin and co. vow to punish No. 17 and No. 18, but they remain undaunted and brag about being the ones who eliminated Ribrianne, Kakunsa, and Roasie. Together with Goku, they now begin a 3-on-3 fight with Zirloin and co. At the same time, Piccolo finally figures out why Saonel and Pilina are so strong: they've used the Namekian power of assimilation! With the survival of their universe on the line, the Universe 6 Namekians selected Saonel and Pilina as their representatives and many assimilated with them. The two avoided fighting too hard until their powered-up bodies stabilized, so that they could serve as reinforcements in the second half of the tournament (although they didn't plan on being the only Universe 6 warriors left by that point).
Gohan recognizes that after assimilating so many Namekians, Saonel and Pilina must have incredible life force. Since there's no need to hold back for fear of killing them, Gohan will fight at full power to hold them off while Piccolo charges up a Makankōsappō. As the fight continues, Whis wonders if Beerus is feeling conflicted. After all, if Piccolo and Gohan win, it will mean Champa's destruction. However, Beerus claims to have no mixed feelings, and loudly cheers his team on.
While the Omni-Kings are excited to see Goku and his son both fighting hard, The Great Priest notes that Universe 7 has kept on winning against all the other universes, but as a result they're worn out. On the flipside, Universe 2 and Universe 6 are facing destruction and so gaining new power out of desperation. Saonel stretches his arms to grab Gohan, but when Pilina moves in to attack, Piccolo nails him with a Makankōsappō. However, the attack fails to pierce through Pilina, who retaliates with a mouth blast.

Fortunately, Gohan shields Piccolo from the blast, and apologizes for letting his guard down before Piccolo could finish fully charging his attack. Pilina likewise apologizes to Saonel for not being able to finish, and the fight recommences as Piccolo vows that he and Gohan will fight to their fullest no matter their opponent. Meanwhile, Zirloin and co. acknowledge that Goku and Nos. 17 and 18 are also warriors of love, and resolve to use their full powers against them. Together the three create a point of concentrated love, a gigantic black heart that sucks other attacks in. This is the legendary "Pretty Black Hole" attack, which even Ribrianne and co. couldn't master.
The Pretty Black Hole bears down on Goku and Nos. 17 and 18, threatening to sink them straight down through the bottom of the arena and out of bounds. Its weight is even greater than the gravity room at Bulma's, and prevents Goku from teleporting away. However, while he's amazed at the Universe 2's warriors, Goku says that for him fighting spirit is better than love. He transforms into Super Saiyan Blue and fires a Kamehameha, while at the same time Gohan likewise fires a Kamehameha against Saonel. Pilina counters Gohan's Kamehameha with a mouth blast, allowing Saonel to try and grab Gohan with his stretching arms again.
But Piccolo fires his now fully charged Makankōsappō through both the Universe 6 Namekians, weakening them enough to allow Gohan's blast to knock them out of the ring, just as Goku's Kamehameha breaks through the Pretty Black Hole and does the same to the Universe 2 warriors. Still observing Goku's battles from afar, Freeza notes that he didn't display Ultra Instinct this time. Whis thinks that as Goku grows accustomed to fighting in extreme conditions, it will take more and more to trigger Ultra Instinct.
The Great Priest officially announces that Universe 2 and Universe 6 have lost, and the Omni-Kings charge up their universe-destroying blasts. Ribrianne and co. give one last message of love before they vanish, and Vados tearfully bids farewell to Champa (from afar). Though impressed by Saonel and Pilina's fight, Caulifla still tries to follow through on her promise to beat them up for losing, and chases them around while Cabba wishes "Master Vegeta" good luck. Champa calls out to Beerus and sticks his tongue out at him moments before vanishing, though Beerus wishes his brother would have said something to him instead. Still fighting against Catopesra, Vegeta tells his opponent to get ready, since he is now officially in a bad mood.
13 minutes remain in the Tournament of Power.
