Synopsis
The Tournament of Power turned into a big free-for-all fight phase right from the start. In the chaos following the start of the tournament, Goku and the others from Universe 7 are hit by a concentrated attack from the other universes! Eight foes surround Goku, who has been cut off all alone, but even in this situation, Goku smiles calmly. The fight quickly heats up![1][2][3]
Summary
Goku has narrowly managed to avoid a ring-out, but is now surrounded by the Trio de Dangers and other Universe 9 warriors. Universe 9's Kaiōshin Rou taunts him from the stands: it's time to pay back their grudge from the exhibition match! Goku though is pleased to have a rematch against Universe 9, particularly since during their last fight Universe 9's warrior Bergamo fought by absorbing Goku's power, rather than using his own.
As Goku battles Bergamo and the others, Shin wonders why he stays in his regular form and doesn't use Super Saiyan Blue, but Whis explains that Blue uses up a lot of stamina. In this long tournament where healing items are forbidden, Goku has to properly pace himself to ensure he keeps on fighting to the end.
As Champa cheers on the Trio de Dangers—without Goku, Universe 7 will be in a weakened position—Beerus reminds Goku that all he needs to do to win is knock them out of bounds. Lavenda covers his fists in poison, and all three members of the Trio de Dangers charge at Goku, who fights them off and covers himself in a glowing barrier. This barrier protects Goku from Lavenda's poison, and was something he and Gohan thought up after Gohan's match with Lavenda. Elsewhere, Freeza beats up on Napapa and sees from afar that Goku is enjoying himself. Freeza decides to enjoy himself too, and goes after Universe 9's gargoyle-like Roselle.
Goku continues to have a hard time as the Trio de Dangers jointly attack him from three different directions, a technique Rou dubs their "Dangers Triangle". Annoyed, Vegeta jumps in and asks why Goku is screwing around, but Goku protests that fighting them is tricky since he can't sense their ki. Rou now orders all of Universe 9's warriors to team up against Goku and Vegeta.
Whis is sure this shouldn't be a challenge for the two of them if they worked together...but he thinks they probably won't. Indeed, Vegeta quickly takes off on his own to battle Lavenda, while Goku takes on Basil, effectively ending their "Dangerous Triangle" combo. Vegeta likewise shields himself in a barrier from Lavenda's poison, but is caught off guard by the Universe 9 female warrior Hop's claws.
Though Goku is concerned for Vegeta, he has his own problems to worry about. The dragon-like Chappil allows Goku a free shot at him, but Goku's punches doesn't faze him at all, due to his iron skin. Champa continues to cheer on Universe 9 in the hope that they can eliminate Goku and Vegeta, white Beerus notes that two of Universe 9's warriors have yet to join the fight. They're waiting for something, but what?
Vegeta has his hands full guarding against Lavenda's poison, when suddenly one of the remaining Universe 9 warriors, Hyssop, fires an "absolute zero" freezing attack that freezes Vegeta's right hand. Hop rushes forward to slash Vegeta, but he dodges out of the way just in time and she slashes Lavenda by accident. With the Universe 9 warriors distracted by this mishap, Goku takes this chance to turn into regular Super Saiyan and knocks Chappil and Comfrey out of the ring, while Vegeta likewise rings out Hop.
Next, Vegeta's left hand is wrapped up in web by the red Universe 9 warrior Oregano, but he goes Super Saiyan and knocks Oregano and Hyssop out of the ring. The bunny-like Universe 9 warrior Sorrel has also been beaten (apparently by No. 18), and Roselle loses when he flees the arena in an attempt to get away from Freeza.
Now only the Trio de Dangers remain out of all Universe 9's team! Rou yells at them not to lose, but the three are having a tough time against the Super Saiyan Goku and Vegeta, and find themselves cornered together on the edge of the arena. They charge up a joint beam attack, "Triangle Danger Beam", but Vegeta and Goku go Super Saiyan Blue and counter with a Final Kamehameha, sending the Trio de Dangers out of bounds.
Now Universe 9's entire team has been beaten! The Omni-Kings happily check off all the warriors on their GodPads, while the Great Priest announces that Universe 9 itself will accordingly be annihilated. As Rou screams in protest, the Omni-Kings join their hands and in a flash all the Universe 9 warriors and gods vanish, except for their angel Mohito (who seems amused more than anything). Whis uses his staff to confirm that Universe 9 itself is completely gone. The Omni-Kings have destroyed an entire universe!
