"An Unprecedented Super Showdown! The Ultimate Survival Battle!!" is the one hundred and thirtieth episode of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super.

Synopsis

Only a minute and a half remain in the Tournament of Power. The fierce battle between Universe 7's Son Goku and Universe 11's Jiren continues to rage on the fighting stage. As Jiren powers up even further, Goku counters by activating the true Ultra Instinct. Son Goku has had the upper hand battling Jiren. However, it turns out Jiren has yet to put forth his full power. Jiren then concentrates and finally gets serious. Surrounded by a red aura, he dashes fiercely and fires a ki blast at Goku at point-blank range. Goku is totally blown away. From the spectator seats, Kuririn and the Turtle Hermit are worried. As the ending time for the Tournament of Power draws nearer moment by moment, which universe will prevail...?!

Summary

Goku has finally achieved the complete form of Ultra Instinct and tells Jiren that their true battle begins now. Off in the bleachers, the Universe 1 Kaiōshin Anat is interested to see how Ultra Instinct Goku will fare against full-power Jiren, and how their battle will conclude. As Goku begins his counterattack against Jiren, Piccolo is impressed by the completed Ultra Instinct's speed, but Vermoud still believes Jiren cannot possibly lose.

Jiren himself tells Goku not to get carried away simply because he's powered up, but in fact Goku begins to completely overwhelm Jiren. Shin thinks Universe 7's victory is assured, while Cae worries that Goku has vastly surpassed Jiren's power. Jiren though is certain that he will win: strength is justice, strength is absolute, and he won't allow himself to be defeated and lose everything like he did before. Jiren powers up with an explosive storm of fiery ki, and Vegeta and Gohan realize that being overwhelmed by Goku has caused Jiren to recall his past trauma, thereby awakening his hidden power.

With his heightened ki, Jiren seems to gain the upper hand on Goku, knocking him around and finishing off with a big blast that leaves him flat on the ground. While it looks like the match is over, Kuririn still believes in Goku; after all, Goku always turns the tables when things get tough. As he yells for Goku to get back up, Goku does instead struggle back to his feet. Jiren is amazed that Goku still has any stamina left, and Goku explains that he can't back down now, since No. 17 and the others have put their faith in him.

Jiren insists that such sentiments are meaningless in the face of his power, but as he and Goku start to fight again, Goku is even faster than before. Piccolo says this is because Goku is fighting for the sake of others, while the Turtle Hermit further explains that Goku and co. have come this far because they mutually support one another. Kuririn and Tenshinhan say that though they may have started off as enemies, now they have all put their trust in Goku; Goku has the mysterious ability to draw his opponents over to his side.

Goku continues to fight Jiren with what he describes as "our power", but Jiren still refuses to accept the importance of friendship or trust; doing so would mean denying all that he has stood for up until now. Jiren claims he will easily wipe out the power Goku believes in and aims a blast at the Universe 7 team in the bleachers. Angered, Goku deflects the blast and says that he might not be a hero of justice, but he won't forgive those who hurt his friends. Goku savagely attacks Jiren, finishing off with a Kamehameha.

Now Jiren is the one on the ground, apparently immobilized by Goku's blast. Though Goku seems reluctant to finish him off, Jiren says the match is over and tells Goku to knock him out of bounds. But as Goku prepares a final blast, he suddenly collapses. Whis realizes that the strain of surpassing his limits with the power of the gods has taken a heavy toll on Goku. Vermoud screams for Jiren to take this chance to defeat Goku and obtain the Super Dragon Balls.

Although Jiren is unhappy with winning in this fashion, he assures Goku that he will always live on in his memory. While Jiren sends Goku flying out of the arena, a blast from behind Jiren suddenly hits Goku, changing his trajectory so that he lands on a floating piece of rubble. It turns out that Freeza is still in the fight…as is No. 17! It seems No. 17 didn't actually self-destruct earlier: he explains that it was a gamble whether he would survive or not, but he got lucky. Vermoud tells Jiren to knock No. 17 and Freeza out before time is up, while No. 17 tells Freeza that with Goku in such bad condition, it will be up to the two of them to win.

Elsewhere, Goku has reverted to his normal form and lies unconscious on the floating rubble. Only a little time remains in the Tournament of Power.
