==Synopsis==
[[Universe 7]]'s [[Son Goku]] and [[Vegeta]] face off against [[Jiren]] despite being injured head to toe. But their attacks have absolutely no effect on Jiren, and the two just steadily wear themselves out. Jiren releases his ''ki'', finally putting on a display of his true strength. Vegeta, Goku and the injured [[No. 17]] face Jiren one after another, even though they’re overwhelmed by that mighty ''ki'', but Jiren's fierce attacks heavily injure all three. No. 17 then creates numerous barriers in an attempt to protect Goku and Vegeta. After observing the situation for a while, No. 17 stealthily approaches Jiren. He uses a life-risking strategy to support Goku and co. against Jiren's overwhelming power!!<ref name="WSJ">{{Cite magazine|Mag=WSJ|Year=2018|Issue=10|Date=05 February 2018|Title="Jump Animation Information Base"|Page=}} {{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/958943653421973504|Website=Twitter|Title=@Herms98|Date=01 February 2018}}</ref><ref name="AM">{{Cite magazine|Mag=AM|Year=2018|Month=March|Date=10 February 2018|Publisher=Gakken Plus|Title="Anime Hunter"|Page=}} {{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/961381706702864384|Website=Twitter|Title=@Herms98|Date=07 February 2018}}</ref><ref name"AG">{{Cite magazine|Mag=AG|Year=2018|Month=March|Date=10 February 2018|Publisher=Tokuma Shoten|Title="Animation World: Dragon Ball Super"|Page=}} {{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/961378610652225536|Website=Twitter|Title=@Herms98|Date=07 February 2018}}</ref><ref name="fuji">{{Cite web|URL=http://www.fujitv.co.jp/b_hp/dragonball_super/index.html|Website=FujiTV|Title="Broadcast Details"|Date=04 February 2018}} 敵はジレンただ1人。ジレンは気を解放、ついに真の実力を見せ始める。その強大な気に圧倒されながらも、ベジータ、悟空、17号が次々にジレンに向かっていく！</ref>

==Summary==
As [[Jiren]] powers up, he is surrounded in an intense, fiery energy. The [[Omni-Kings]] are amazed that Jiren seems to be on fire, while [[Goku]] and [[No. 17]] are likewise impressed that he was hiding such monstrous strength. [[Vegeta]] on the other hand mocks Jiren for only getting serious now that all his teammates are gone; he cockily charges Jiren, forcing Goku and No. 17 to join in the attack. Even in a 3-against-1 fight though, Jiren still proves too much for them to handle. As Jiren closes in to kick Vegeta, No. 17 knocks him out of the way, taking the brunt of the attack himself. Rather than be thankful though, Vegeta is annoyed at No. 17's "unnecessary" action; Jiren is his to defeat!

More fighting proves equally ineffective; when Jiren blocks Vegeta's punch, he compliments it as being good enough to defeat [[Toppo]], but not enough to beat him. Jiren retaliates with one of his own fiery punches, then follows up by erasing Goku's ''[[Kamehameha]]'' with a mere uppercut. However, Jiren is caught off-guard by No. 17, who hits him with a point-blank range from behind. No. 17 is caught up in the explosion from his own attack and injured, but he still manages to wound Jiren in the back. Angered, Jiren counterattacks, but No. 17 retreats and joins back up with Goku.

While No. 17 is only barely okay, this last exchange has demonstrated that even Jiren can be damaged if hit unguarded by such a large attack. If they use coordinated attacks to create an opening and then attack Jiren with an even bigger attack, they might be able to win. Goku and Vegeta will go draw Jiren's attention, leaving No. 17 to prepare another attack. As Goku and Vegeta furiously tag-team Jiren, No. 17 fires off a blast, but Jiren won't fall for the same trick twice, and easily counters. Jiren rushes at No. 17, who creates a series of barriers to block him, but he smashes through them all and attacks.

As Jiren blocks a beam from No. 17, Goku tells Vegeta that the three of them should attack him all at once. While No. 17 continues his beam attack, Goku and Vegeta fire their own beams at Jiren from different directions, but Jiren blocks all three beams with his fiery aura. With the rest of the team knocked to the ground, [[Freeza]] suddenly reappears and attacks Jiren, determined to kill him regardless of the tournament rules. Though he becomes [[Golden Freeza]] once more, Jiren wastes no time knocking him off into the distance, where he passes out again.

With Freeza beaten, Jiren is blasted by No. 17, who's back on his feet. Jiren wonders what No. 17 can do on his own, but No. 17 refuses to give up. [[Universe 7]] will survive! [[Vermoud]] however asks No. 17 what he will do if his universe survives. What will he use the [[Super Dragon Balls]] to wish for? No. 17 explains that he wants to wish for a cruise ship so he can travel around with his family, and he asks what Jiren wants to wish for. While No. 17 had assumed Jiren was solely interested in being crowned the strongest fighter, Jiren admits that he does indeed have a wish in mind. Hearing this, [[Cae]] seems surprised, but Vermoud understands. He decides it's time to explain how Jiren came to be so obsessed with strength.

It turns out that when Jiren was a small child, his parents were killed by an evil-doer. Jiren himself was rescued by a man who went on to become his martial arts master. As he trained under his master, Jiren gained a number of comrades, and they fought together when that same evil-doer returned. However, the enemy was still too strong for them, and many of Jiren's comrades were killed, including his master. Even his surviving comrades abandoned Jiren, causing him to view trust and emotions as worthless and place his faith in strength alone. It was Jiren's thirst for strength and his solitude that attracted Vermoud to him.

No. 17 thinks he's figured out what Jiren's wish must be; he had thought Jiren was nothing more than a killing machine, but in fact he has his human side. However, No. 17 thinks that Jiren ultimately was just using his comrades for his own ends; he is obsessed with the past, and probably thinks that if he wins he can return things to the way they were. Jiren responds that strength is absolute, and forgives everything, even the past. Telling No. 17 to lament his own weakness, he launches a giant blast towards the Universe 7 team.

No. 17 does his best to hold back the blast and protect the immobilized Goku and Vegeta, but he is clearly not strong enough. Goku and [[No. 18]] both urge No. 17 to run and save himself, but he refuses. He tells Goku and Vegeta that he's giving up on the cruise ship. Instead, he's going to sacrifice himself for others, a pleasingly human action. Placing a pair of barriers around Goku and Vegeta, No. 17 creates a large explosion that rocks the arena.

The Omni-Kings wonder if Goku and co. have lost, but when the dust clears they can see that Goku and Vegeta were protected by No. 17's barriers (Freeza is once again out of sight and his fate unmentioned). Jiren tells the two that they should be thankful No. 17 sacrificed himself for people as weak as them. As their barriers burst and they topple down to the arena floor, Goku and Vegeta realize that No. 17 planned this so that the two of them would have time to recover their stamina.

[[Elder Kaiōshin]] explains how in that last moment, No. 17 not only put up barriers but also self-destructed in order to erase Jiren's attack. Since No. 17 self-destructed, the [[Great Priest]] announces that Jiren will receive no penalty (in other words, Jiren hasn't violated the tournament rule against killing). While No. 18 is overcome with grief, in the arena Vegeta struggles back to his feet, claiming that he's more than enough to handle Jiren.

3 minutes remain in the [[Tournament of Power]].
