"Full Body, Spirit, and Power Unleashed! Goku and Vegeta!!" is the one hundred and twenty-third episode of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super. The episode first aired in Japan on Fuji TV on 14 January 2018, receiving a ratings share of 4.5%. It was written by Atsuhiro Tomioka and directed by Masanori Satō.

Synopsis

Only Universe 11 and Son Goku's Universe 7 remain at the Tournament of Power. There are only seven minutes left. Vegeta puts forth his full power to battle Universe 11's Jiren, but utterly fails to defeat him without even being able to put up a decent fight. Instead, Vegeta is seriously injured and in dire straits. With Vegeta damaged, Goku once again challenges Jiren. For this final battle, he transforms into full power Super Saiyan Blue. Goku attacks Jiren by teleporting many times and firing countless ki balls in order to confuse him. Although Goku uses every trick up his sleeve, Jiren brushes it all aside. Goku fires Kienzan-like cluster bombs off in all directions, but this is also of little effect. And then, Vegeta unleashes all his ki and starts glowing blue. No. 17 uses his whole body to stop Toppo from moving, and orders Gohan to defeat them both. However, Gohan hesitates to attack and loses the chance to defeat Toppo.[1][2][3][4]

Summary

In the aftermath of Jiren's overwhelming defeat of Vegeta, everyone is amazed at Jiren's power. While Vegeta struggles on the ground, Jiren tells the warrior to rest. In the bleachers, Vermoud and Cae note what an honor it is for Jiren to acknowledge Vegeta as a "warrior"; he is praising Vegeta's bravery in facing him with everything he had. The Omni-Kings are impressed with Jiren too, and amuse themselves imitating him.

Struggling to his feet, Vegeta says he can tell Jiren still hasn't used his full power. Taking over from where Vegeta left off, Goku powers up to fight Jiren once more. Meanwhile, Dispo is still throwing Freeza around by the tail, and delivers what he believes to be a finishing blow. He brags about his power as a member of the Pride Troopers, but Freeza is both unimpressed and seemingly unhurt by his attacks, and begins firing back.

Elsewhere, Gohan and No. 17 continue their tag team fight against Toppo, but No. 17 soon realizes that they are unable to pull off combo attacks, since they have never fought together before. He suggests a new, simpler strategy: he will go stop Toppo from moving, allowing Gohan to ring them both out. No. 17 goes and fights Toppo one-on-one for a while, but before long Toppo grabs him by the arm. This though is exactly what No. 17 wanted; he forms an energy barrier around them both, and Gohan fires a Kamehameha at them. The blast pushes the barrier with the two inside towards the edge of the arena, but before they can be ringed out, Toppo punches No. 17 so hard that he drops the barrier. Gohan breaks off the attack out of concern for No. 17, allowing Toppo to get away.

As Goku stands directly in front of Jiren, his teammates in the bleachers question his strategy. They've already seen that long-range attacks such as the Genki-Dama and Final Flash don't work against Jiren, which means he can only be defeated by a direct assault. However, going toe-to-toe with Jiren is risky too. Goku will probably try to create an opening with which to attack, but how? He starts teleporting around Jiren, but always backs off before too long. In fact, Goku has set down a series of landmine-like ki blasts around Jiren, and they go off as soon as Jiren steps on them.

However, Jiren jumps up right as the mines explode, appearing in the air above Goku, who fires off a barrage of Kienzan blades at him. Jiren seemingly destroys all of them though, and begins pummeling Goku atop a large piece of rubble sticking out over the edge of the arena (it fell over when a Kienzan sliced through it). Jiren's fist begins to glow as he revs up for a finishing blow, but the ground beneath him suddenly gives way. It turns out that Goku has used the one remaining Kienzan to slice up the piece of rubble they're standing on, the same strategy Kuririn used against him back during their sparring match. He teleports behind Jiren and kicks him down off the edge of the arena.

Goku goes and rejoins Vegeta, who says that while he may have caught Jiren off-guard this won't be enough to defeat him, but Goku knew that already. Indeed, Jiren uses the small pieces of rubble in the air around him as footholds to jump back up into the arena, and begins walking straight towards Goku, completely unfazed by the ki landmines he continues to set off. After knocking Goku around for a bit more, Jiren powers up, impressing Cae with his intense ki. Even Vermoud says it's been a long time since he's seen Jiren like this.

Goku and Jiren begin trading blows once again, but Jiren quickly overwhelms Goku with the same sort of glowing punch he had begun to use earlier before being interrupted. The impact from Jiren's punch blasts through the arena, and although it only grazes Goku's cheek, he reverts from Super Saiyan Blue to his base form. Cae and Vermoud can tell that Jiren has begun showing a bit of his full power. Kuririn asks what sort of technique this is, but Cae explains that for Jiren, these are nothing more than ordinary punches!

Goku says he's never been hit by such strong attacks before, but he can't turn back now. Vegeta agrees; they know well enough that Jiren is strong, but he must still defeat him and get the Super Dragon Balls! The two power up, with Goku using Super Saiyan Blue Kaiō-Ken once more. Beerus sees that Goku is unleashing every scrap of power he has; if even this doesn't work, then they've had it.

Vegeta meanwhile remembers his promise to Cabba, that he would win the tournament and resurrect him and the others of Universe 6. In order to keep that promise, Vegeta resolves to overcome his limits in his own way and defeat Jiren. As he powers up, a change comes over Vegeta's ki, and he transforms into Super Saiyan Blue: Evolution. The Great Priest explains that Vegeta seems to have broken through his shell (much as Goku did earlier) and has collected power within himself greatly surpassing what he previously had as a Super Saiyan Blue.

Vegeta tells Jiren that this is everything he has, and he and Goku begin fighting Jiren two-against-one, finally working together for a change. Jiren can feel that their attacks are sharper than before, but he still counters with more of his trademark glowing punches. The two of them together start to push back against Jiren, who seems thrown off his game. While the action pauses for a moment, Whis explains that Goku and Vegeta's coordination isn't perfect, yet this actually helps them out by confusing Jiren. Will the two's power together be enough to prevail?

7 minutes remain in the Tournament of Power.
