The episode first aired in Japan on [[Fuji TV]] on '''25 March 2018''', receiving a ratings share of 5.7%. It was written by [[Atsuhiro Tomioka]] and directed by [[Megumi Ishitani]].

==Synopsis==
The time has finally come to settle things. Only 30 seconds remain. Will [[Goku]] and the others of [[Universe 7]] cause a miracle, or will it be [[Jiren]]'s [[Universe 11]]? And what wish will the victor have granted with the [[Super Dragon Balls]]? Fighting against Jiren, famously the strongest man, and having broken through his limits, Goku’s power comes up slightly short and he falls from the arena! It seems like Universe 7 has lost, and everyone will be annihilated, but Goku and Jiren stare at the [[Omni-Kings]], as if the match isn't over yet. And then, a [[Death Beam]] hits Jiren's back. A bruised and battered Universe 7 team member is standing there! Just as it seems like Universe 11's victory is assured, the previously unseen [[Freeza]] appears! Though injured from head to toe, Freeza manages to revive himself. Will he be able to defeat Jiren, who not even Goku was a match for? And who will be the MVP?<ref name="WSJ">{{Cite magazine|Mag=WSJ|Year=2018|Issue=16|Date=19 March 2018|Title="Jump Animation Information Base"|Page=}}<br>{{Cite web|URL=https://redd.it/84btdn|Website=Reddit|Title="Super Spoiler Megathread: Episodes 130-131"|Date=14 March 2018}}</ref><ref name"AG">{{Cite magazine|Mag=AG|Year=2018|Month=April|Date=10 March 2018|Publisher=Tokuma Shoten|Title="Animation World: Dragon Ball Super"|Page=}}<br>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/971784089811394561|Website=Twitter|Title=@Herms98|Date=08 March 2018}}</ref><ref>"Anime & Hero".

==Summary==
With [[Goku]] out of commission, [[Freeza]] has appeared again to challenge [[Jiren]], bringing [[No. 17]] with him. Jiren thinks this is a futile display of trust, but Freeza assures him that his only goal is to obtain the [[Super Dragon Balls]]; he's only brought No. 17 along as insurance. Freeza doesn't think Jiren seems as strong as before, and vows to defeat him. After the three of them battle for a little while, Freeza reaffirms that Jiren has indeed grown physically and mentally weaker, terrified at the possibility of returning to the weakling he once was. This spurs Jiren to fight back harder, but No. 17 intervenes and blasts Jiren at point-blank range.

Jiren falls to his knees, panicking [[Vermoud]] and the others of [[Universe 11]]. No. 17 in on his knees too, having been caught up in the explosion from his own blast, but he knows that Freeza is there to finish the job for him. "Honored" at No. 17's trust, Freeza steps forward to finish Jiren off. Pointing his finger at Jiren's head, he charges up a finger blast. Jiren seems to lack the spirit even to look up, much to Freeza's regret (he had wanted to see Jiren's pathetic face at the end). From the bleachers, [[Toppo]] shouts out for Jiren to stand back up, saying he believes in Jiren's strength even if Jiren himself doesn't.

While Toppo's sentimental speech makes Freeza feel sick, it motivates Jiren to indeed stand back up. Shrouded in a fiery aura, he counterattacks Freeza, forcing him and No. 17 to desperately combine their power to hold back his blast (with Freeza reverting from his [[Golden Freeza|Golden form]] to regular form in the process). As the two struggle, Goku returns to his feet and comes to their aid. No. 17 is surprised Goku can still move, but Goku thinks No. 17 is in the same boat; he tells No. 17 to watch their backs while he and Freeza go confront Jiren head-on. Freeza asks if Goku should stay back too, but Goku says all three of them need to cooperate to prevent [[Universe 7]]'s destruction.

Seeing that Goku has once again arisen to face him, Jiren gathers more energy. Goku is amazed that Jiren became so strong on his own; even the three of them together might not be enough to defeat him. Still, he assures Freeza that he'll keep his promise (to restore Freeza to life) so long as Freeza upholds his end of the bargain. Indeed, it's that naïve aspect of Goku that makes Freeza so sick, though he's grateful for it at the moment. Goku, Freeza, and No. 17's combined blast breaks through Jiren's wall of energy, and Goku and Freeza rush forward to fight him together.

In the bleachers, [[Kuririn]] and [[Vegeta]] are both agog at the sight of Goku and Freeza fighting side-by-side against a common foe. While the two of them engage Jiren in hand-to-hand combat, No. 17 supports them from behind with a volley of energy blasts. Jiren finally breaks through Goku and Freeza's assault and goes after No. 17, so Freeza has Goku throw him at Jiren. Freeza tackles Jiren and flies downward, trying to ring them both out, but Jiren overcomes him. Goku catches up with them and joins Freeza in pushing Jiren out of the ring, briefly managing to become regular [[Super Saiyan]] once more. As [[Beerus]] and the Universe 7 team cheer them on, the combined might of Goku and Freeza at last succeeds in pushing Jiren out of bounds.

Goku, Freeza, and Jiren all materialize in the bleachers. While Goku tries to thank Freeza, Freeza says that all he wants is for Goku to keep his promise. With Jiren eliminated, the [[Great Priest]] formally announces the defeat of Universe 11. As they prepare to be erased, Toppo thanks Jiren for all he did, though Jiren can't understand why; after all, he treated Toppo and the rest of the [[Pride Troopers]] with contempt throughout the tournament. Goku expresses his desire to fight Jiren again; he thinks they both got stronger by fighting one another and is eager to meet Jiren again sometime. Jiren looks shocked, but smiles just before he vanishes.

Now only No. 17 remains in the arena, and the Great Priest descends to ask him if he has decided on a wish. The [[Super Dragon Balls]] appear in the sky above, and the Great Priest speaks the "language of the gods" to summon forth [[Super Shenlong]]. While No. 17 hesitates at first, he looks over at Goku and then wishes to restore all the destroyed universes. The Great Priest repeats this wish in the divine language, and Super Shenlong departs. In the newly restored [[Universe 6]], [[Caulifla]] and [[Kale]] rejoice to find themselves alive again, while [[Cabba]] sees that his master Vegeta kept his promise. Caulifla forces Cabba to help her and Kale train to reach [[Super Saiyan 3]]. Off on his own, [[Champa]] refuses to thank his brother.

The other universes are likewise restored. In Universe 11, Jiren reflects on Goku's desire to meet again, but believes himself too hung up on his past to ever form a bond with Goku or anyone else. However, Toppo wonders if Jiren is really so cowardly; in the tournament when Jiren rose to his feet that final time, he was doing it in response to the hopes of all the Pride Troopers, forming a bond with them for the first time. His confidence restored, Jiren vows along with Toppo that they will triumph the next time they battle Goku and the others.

Back in the [[World of Void]], [[No. 18]] asks No. 17 if he's okay with this wish; what about his dream of traveling the world with his family? No. 17 though is happy to have saved multiple universes; he can surely take care of his job and family on his own. As No. 18 says that No. 17 and Goku are becoming more like one another, Freeza asks to be taken back to [[Hell]]. His time hasn't run out yet, but he'd rather be in Hell than stick around and watch everyone else's happy ending. In response, [[Whis]] gives Freeza something to be happy about, using his staff to bring Freeza back to life. This is a present from [[Beerus]], in return for Freeza's fine performance at the end. While Freeza says he will continue his evil ways, Goku vows to defeat him if he tries anything.

The [[Omni-Kings]] fly down and greet Goku, saying that the tournament was a lot of fun. [[Shin]] says that No. 17's wish was unexpected, but the Great Priest explains that the Omni-Kings had foreseen that the warrior left out the end would be virtuous enough to consider the other universes. On the flipside, if the last warrior standing had made a selfish wish, the Omni-Kings would have erased "everything". Whis thinks that this perhaps shows that the Omni-Kings expect Goku and the others to change things. The Omni-Kings ask Goku what they should do next, but Beerus and Shin panic and say that they will have to be heading home now. The Great Priest congratulates Universe 7 on their splendid fight and wish, while Goku promises to come back and see the Omni-Kings again sometime.

And so, the [[Tournament of Power]] concludes, and everyone returns to the daily lives. The gang all celebrate [[Bra]]'s birth some more, and [[Bulma]] even lets No. 17 use her cruise ship (from her birthday party) to travel around the world. Freeza returns to the remains of his army out in space, while Goku and Vegeta spar against each other in the wastelands on [[Earth]]. The two both use their [[Super Saiyan Blue]] forms, since it turns out Goku is unable to activate [[Ultra Instinct]] at will; it seems that it was something that only happened accidentally in the harsh conditions of the tournament. Hearing this, Vegeta vows to obtain an even greater power. Goku says they can both get stronger and stronger, and Vegeta agrees that a [[Saiyan]]'s strength knows no limits.

Goku and Vegeta continue to challenge their limits, but their adventure will begin again once a new powerful opponent appears. Until then, a brief parting.

==Notes==

Episode director [[Megumi Ishitani]] was asked on Twitter about the significance of the glass-breaking imagery for Jiren in her storyboard, and she gave a detailed answer:

{{Quotation|First, Jiren was influenced by his past to have faith that "solitude is strength". His own strength had proved the validity of this faith. However in episode 130 that validity was shattered.

Jiren lost to Goku, someone who had grown strong through his numerous allies. This caused Jiren to lose his faith that "solitude is strength". Even worse, afterwards Goku lost the fight by self-imploding. So Jiren lost his opportunity to fight Goku and was stuck fighting Freeza and 17 instead, while still harboring emotional loss.

As a result, the battle at the start of episode 131 was extraordinarily tough for Jiren. he had lost the faith that had been his source of power, and had to battle opponents he didn't want to fight. Jiren considered Freeza and 17 to be worthless opponents. Goku was the only opponent he recognized as worthy.

When he lost to Freeza and co., Jiren didn't lose physically. Because he had already emotionally lost to Goku, he was unable to draw out his full power. Then "Toppo's trust" replaces the faith that had supported Jiren, and so manages to lift him back up on his feet.

When Goku stood before Jiren again, Jiren was able to forget the various thoughts that had been restraining him. Jiren swelled with happiness due to his respect for Goku (who revived from his beat-up state) and for getting a second chance to finish their fight.

On the other side of things, an earnest clash also unfolds between Goku and Freeza. They don't trust each other. However, they can at least "trust" each other's strength (and 17's too, of course).

The scene you mentioned in your tweet where Jiren's barrier and Goku and co.'s barrier shatter like glass strongly implies that "there is now nothing separating Jiren from Goku and the others".

Their various feelings that I described at length above are all blown away, allowing them to head into a final showdown that is in a certain sense invigorating… That's what this scene expresses visually. It therefore needed to be an invigorating and beautiful scene.

Of course, Jiren's smile also implies that "Jiren has broken through his emotional shell".|Megumi Ishitani|Twitter<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/ishigyunyu/status/1024314149336014848|Website=Twitter|Title=@ishigyunyu|Date=31 July 2018}}<br>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/1025496629619519488|Website=Twitter|Title=@Herms98|Date=03 August 2018}}</ref>}}
