The Tournament of Power wasn’t just a battle it was a survival test for entire universes. Announced by the Zeno Kings, the event forced 8 low-mortal-level universes to send their 10 best fighters into a massive elimination match.
The rules were strict: fighters could only win by knocking opponents out of the arena, with no killing or outside help allowed. The stakes? Complete erasure of the losing universes. Universe 7’s roster included Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Frieza, and Android 17, while Universe 11’s Pride Troopers brought powerhouse Jiren.
Throughout the tournament, fans witnessed intense clashes, from Kefla pushing Goku to master Ultra Instinct to Toppo unleashing God of Destruction energy. One of the most surprising twists was Android 17 outlasting everyone to claim MVP status, using strategy and endurance to secure the win.
The finale saw Goku and Frieza joining forces an alliance no one saw coming to take down Jiren. The wish to restore all erased universes highlighted the arc’s deeper message: strength is nothing without compassion and teamwork. Years later, the Tournament of Power still stands as a milestone in anime history, proving Dragon Ball can deliver both explosive action and meaningful storytelling.
