Synopsis
Just as it looked like the fight had been decided thanks to Gohan's actions, Universe 3's secret technique explodes?! As the Universe 3 warriors merge together and challenge Goku and co., this battle for survival between two universes reaches its final stage. However, it seems Universe 3 still has a trick up its sleeve. Putting their final secret plan into operation, Dr. Paparoni merges with Koicealeta. Paparoni shouts that he will show them Universe 3's ultimate secret technique, and an intense flash envelops his surroundings. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and the others use their hands to shield themselves from the intense light, and No. 17 and No. 18 bow their heads. When the light dies down and their vision returns, they see the gigantic form of Agnilasa. The fight with Universe 3 enters its climax! Goku and the others bet on an all-out attack, but…!?[1][2][3][4]
Summary
Vowing to defeat the Universe 7 team even at the cost of his own life, Paparoni unleashes Universe 3's final tactic and merges with Koicealeta to become the gigantic Agnilasa. The Omni-Kings are impressed with the size of this four-way fusion, while the Universe 3 God of Destruction Mosco, still speaking through his Angel interpreter Camparri, is confident they can now win. Agnilasa fires blasts off at every remaining warrior in the arena, forcing No. 17, No. 18, and Freeza to dodge, while Jiren simply counters with a blast of his own.
Super Saiyan Vegeta tests Agnilasa out with a Big Bang Attack, but Agnilasa easily swats it aside and charges at the Universe 7 team, making it clear that his power and speed have both greatly increased. After managing to evade Agnilasa's assault, Nos. 17 and 18 join up with Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta, while Goku declares that their only option is to attack Agnilasa together. Following Gohan's advice, the group moves quickly to confuse their giant opponent, with Goku powering up into Super Saiyan God, and each go after a different limb. However, Agnilasa not only manages to track all five of them, but proves fast enough to knock them each away before they can attack.
Goku wonders if Agnilasa is quickly tracking their ki, but No. 17 points out that he and No. 18 don't have ki like the others. Instead, No. 17 speculates that Agnilasa is emitting sonar from his tentacle-like ears to instantly locate them. Agnilasa next begins using his immense power to warp space, punching his fist through wormholes to directly attack distant opponents (much as Janenba did in Dragon Ball Z Movie 12). One of these warp punches sends Goku flying, but Freeza kicks him back into the arena before he can fall out of bounds ("my leg moved on its own").
Goku thanks Freeza for saving him, and asks for his help against Agnilasa, who soon launches another attack against the entire Universe 7 team. This time Agnilasa starts grabbing at warriors, eventually getting hold of No. 18, who he tries to swallow (apparently because the Universe 7 team members can simply rescue each other when one is about to fall out of bounds). Thankfully though Goku manages to save No. 18 at the last moment, and Agnilasa begins firing off a barrage of homing blasts. No. 17 blocks these with one of his energy shields, but the continued assault manages to push him off the edge of the arena.
As No. 17 falls, No. 18 jumps down and kicks him back up into the arena, effectively sacrificing herself in his place. The Great Priest announces No. 18's elimination, and as she materializes in the bleachers she tells No. 17 not to lose. For his next trick, Agnilasa grows wings and begins to fly, then forms an enormous energy ball to take out the Universe 7 team together with the arena. The five remaining Universe 7 members power up to counter this attack, with Goku and Vegeta going Super Saiyan Blue and Freeza charging up into his Golden form.
All five fire blasts to hold off Agnilasa's energy ball, but are gradually pushed back. Changing tactics, No. 17 surrounds himself in an energy shield and jumps straight through the energy ball to attack the crystal sphere in Agnilasa's forehead. Though No. 17 is knocked back by Agnilasa's energy, he has achieved his goal: the crystal sphere (actually Agnilasa's energy reactor) shatters, throwing him off-balance enough for Goku and co.'s blasts to overtake him with one final push.
Defeated, Agnilasa breaks up into his four component warriors—Paparoni, Koitsukai, Pancea, and Boraleta—who materialize in the bleachers. Though Paparoni apologizes for their loss, the Universe 3 Kaiōshin Ea says he did a great job. The Great Priest formally announces the total defeat of the Universe 3 team, and the Omni-Kings charge up their blast to destroy the defeated universe. As the Universe 3 gods and warriors start to vanish, a red devil-like creature named Mule pops out of a hatch in Mosco's mechanical stomach, and thanks Camparri for all his support.
With Universe 3 destroyed, Goku thanks No. 17, who explains that it was his instincts as an android that led him to guess the location of Agnilasa's energy reactor. Goku also thanks Freeza for lending a hand, and Freeza insists Goku still owes him one. The group is interrupted by their sole remaining opponents, the Universe 11 team, and Jiren assures them that this victory against Universe 3 will be their last.
9 minutes remain in the Tournament of Power.
