Synopsis
Summary
Goku seems to have figured out the secret to countering Hit's Time-Skip technique, by predicting how Hit will move a tenth of a second later. Vegeta is annoyed that Goku talks as if this sort of prediction is easy, while Piccolo wonders why Goku revealed his secret to Hit. Hit has the same idea as Piccolo: now that he knows Goku's trick, surely he can counter it by moving unpredictably. But Goku says changing how one reacts in the spur of the moment is difficult. Besides, now that Goku's in his Super Saiyan Blue form, will Hit be able to keep up with his speed? The two start fighting again, and for a while Hit seems to hold his own, but he gets beaten back more and more, without enough leeway to use his Time-Skip technique. Finally, Hit declares that this is his current limit. Goku pauses to allow hit to use his Time-Skip, but Goku counters it once again. Vegeta realizes that Goku studied how Hit moved by watching his own fight against Hit earlier.
Goku asks if Hit wants to surrender, but he refuses. Instead, he lets out a long scream, seeming to power up his ki. Goku is interested to see that Hit screams when powering up, just like he does. However, as the fight recommences, Goku is confused to find that Hit doesn't seem to have actually gotten any stronger. He goes in for a final blow to settle the match, but this time Hit successfully counters with his Time-Skip, landing a blow that causes Goku to kneel over in pain. Goku figures that Hit's scream must have triggered a power up after all, but Hit denies this. Instead, as Vados explains, Hit was simply mimicking Goku's own behavior. Hit says he is unable to power up by transforming as the Saiyans do, so the only way for him to grow stronger is to simply get better. It was not something he had ever thought of before, since there was never any need, but his fight with Goku caused Hit to wonder if he likewise had room to improve. As a result, he's now increased his Time-Skip skill from one tenth of a second to... two tenths of a second!
With Goku still immobilized, Champa excitedly orders Hit to finish him off, but Hit instead gives Goku enough time to get back up on his feet. He explains that this in gratitude for Goku having helped him improve... However, he will not do Goku any more favors. Hit shows off a new martial arts pose which he says should draw out his new potential to the fullest. Meanwhile, Goku thinks about how powerful Hit's new-and-improved attack was. He can probably withstand only a few more such attacks... But thankfully, that should be more than enough to allow him to adjust to Hit's new Time-Skip. On the sidelines, Vegeta complains that growing stronger mid-fight is supposed to be the Saiyans' specialty. How can there be someone else who improves faster than them? Hit tells Goku that he has made a mistake: while Goku is focused on learning how to counter Hit's 0.2 second Time-Skip, Hit is even now continuing to improve. He says Goku cannot possibly surpass his Time-Skip... now that it's 0.5 seconds.
Goku goes down once again from Hit's latest assault, and Hit asks the referee what to do: it is against the rules for him to kill Goku, but Goku can now no longer surrender. But Goku is not down for the count yet, and manages to get back up on his feet. Hit asks if he is that intent on winning, but Goku says that it would be "rude" of him to let the match end like this, because he still has a technique he has not used yet. The reason he did not use this technique until now is because it's still a work in progress, and he wanted to refine it over time in order to eventually use it against Beerus. Being incomplete, the technique has less than a 10% chance of success... and if it fails, it will totally wreck his body.
As Goku starts to power up, Champa once again orders Hit to finish Goku off immediately, so as to not give him the chance to use this new technique. However, Hit refuses as before, saying that if Goku gets stronger, then he will simply grow stronger too. He wants to see how long the two of them can keep this endless escalation going. At last, Goku announces that his new technique has worked: it's the Kaiō-Ken! He has now added the Kaiō-Ken to the power of Super Saiyan Blue. If he had made even a tiny mistake, then his power would have gone out of control and killed him, but thankfully he seems to have managed to perfectly control it. Goku explains that the Kaiō-Ken is a technique which Kaiō taught him long ago: it multiplies one's power, speed, and various other fighting abilities.
Seeing this, Beerus wonders if Goku was really going to use this technique against him. Whis teases Beerus, asking is he finds that idea a bit scary, but he flatly denies this. Instead, he is simply annoyed that Goku did not use such a handy technique earlier. But Vegeta realizes why: the Kaiō-Ken increases one's strength but in exchange uses up all of one's stamina. Since the Super Saiyan form is hard on the body all on its own, this makes using the two of them together virtually suicidal, which is why Goku abandoned the Kaiō-Ken for a long time. But Super Saiyan Blue is a strong and "calm" form with perfect ki control, so using it and the Kaiō-Ken together is feasible. After thinking all this, Vegeta is annoyed at Goku having surpassed him once again. Meanwhile, Goku continues to power up, to Hit's amazement: x3... x4... x10! Goku begins battling Hit with Kaiō-Ken x10. At this point, Hit's Time-Skip cannot keep up with Goku's speed at all. Goku thinks that even with Super Saiyan Blue, he will not be able to maintain the Kaiō-Ken for very long, so he decides to settle the fight at once with a Kamehameha!
