Top says he is uninterested in personal squabbles, and he is determined to fight to save his universe.
Goku tries to greet Jiren, but Jiren suddenly appears behind Goku, harshly advising him to step away.
Goku wonders how he got behind him, and Liquiir, Iwan, and Arak notice the warriors gathering and they pick up the pace, with everyone being forced to dodge the blocks they're throwing around. But to Goku's surprise, Jiren is unfazed as the blocks narrowly pass by him.
Jiren turned and glanced at Eero, who was looking at the Universe Eleven stage far away, while a few blocks halted around his body.
Eero glanced at the blocks halted in front of him, not moving. He took a side calmly as they flew away beside him.
All the warriors were puzzled. They can see Jiren is very strong and wasn't fazed facing the blocks. That's why the blocks dodged him. But Eero is just a mortal. Why did the blocks stop in front of him?
Even the Grand Minister and Angels around were startled because those blocks were controlled by the Grand Minister to complete the stage, although it's not his complete power but enough to defeat everyone on stage.
Only Whis, Vados, and Marcarita were silent, looking at Eero. 'Today we can see the glimpse of his true powers,' all three of them thought at the same time.
The fighting stage is finished, and every universe has gathered. Goku notices a Yardrat on Team Universe 2, his son and Vegeta agreeing with him to watch out for the combatant if he knows Instant Transmission.
The group also notices that Universe 4 has only 8 warriors, but Tien realizes that even though it's faint, he can sense the presence of the remaining two, who are concealing themselves.
Every universe is formally introduced, and Gohan says that once the fight begins, they should gather and strengthen their defense, and to work together to fight. However, Vegeta disagreed.
The two Zenos greet everyone and tell them to make this fight exciting to watch. Thus, the Tournament of Power is about to officially begin.
The eight universes participating in the Tournament of Power are staring each other down.
The two Zenos are excited as the Grand Priest makes his entrance on top of the stage's main pillar.
The Grand Priest goes over the rules again: the time limit is 100 takks, which is 48 Earth minutes, and the use of weapons, killing, and Flight are not allowed. However, warriors with wings may still fly.
Gohan goes over the strategy again with Universe 7: stick together and always fight with superior numbers. However, Vegeta once again shows sarcastic disagreement.
Kale is afraid, and Caulifla tells her to remember to "go flashy" again.
Goku and Top stare each other down, and Eero was sitting on a block, looking at the warrior calmly.
Master Roshi offers to fight against the female warriors, and Tien shows skepticism.
Shin is worried about his universe, and Old Kai tells him to just trust in them as their fates rest in the warriors' hands.
Beerus yells at his fighters about teamwork, and Quitela mocks and laughs that Beerus, of all people, would spout teamwork, which Beerus refuses to retort to.
The Tournament of Power finally begins, and every warrior rushes to face another warrior, soon engulfing the entire battle stage with energy lights and sounds of combat.
Universe 7 sticks together in the ensuing chaos. However, Goku spots Top fighting with Magetta and flies away to fight him, but he is interrupted by Ganos.
Gohan tries to remind Goku about their teamwork strategy, but Android 17, Android 18, and Vegeta also fly away to fight.
Narirama, a modified robot warrior from Universe 3, begins spinning himself in order to knock some fighters away.
Heles of Universe 2 comments that it's not beautiful for her female warriors to be attacked before they transform. The Universe 3 gods dub this method the "Super Survival Mode," however, it was easily shut down by Hit and Basil.
A female warrior from Universe 10, Rylibeu, fights against Basil. However, he counters her attack and knocks her out of the ring, revealing that defeated warriors are instantly transported to the stands to spectate.
In order to keep track of the fighters, the Zenos reveal they have a tablet, called the GodPad, that they use to mark the fighters who have been knocked out.
The Universe 10 God of Destruction, Rumsshi, berates Rylibeu for forgetting to use her wings, and for the fact that his universe is the first to have a fighter being knocked out.
Beerus cheers for his universe. However, he overhears Champa cheering for Universe 6 to knock out Universe 7 out of spite, likely due to losing the Tournament of Destroyers to his brother.
Android 18, Vegeta, Android 17, and Goku are fighting their respective battles, and the remainder of Universe 7: Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and Roshi are surrounded by Botamo, Shosa, Comfrey, Dercori, and Lavender, who wants revenge against Gohan.
The Universe 7 fighters assume a Manji Formation, following the plan, and they initiate a combo attack: Tien's Solar Flare, Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, Krillin's Destructo Disc, Gohan's energy beam barrage, and Master Roshi's MAX Power Kamehameha to attack the fighters.
However, the fighters remain unharmed, and Master Roshi compliments them as they are indeed worthy of entering the tournament.
Basil is fighting a sumo-wrestling warrior, Napapa, and fails in knocking him out.
While Goku continues to fight Ganos, the latter leaves in frustration at the Saiyan's power, allowing Goku to lay eyes on Top, who looks back at him before he is knocked aside by Murichim, revealing Jiren to be standing still in the ensuing chaos.
Zeno spots Jiren, and they agree to keep an eye on him. Goku prepares to battle Jiren one on one, but he is grabbed from behind and held in a headlock by a muscular warrior from Universe 4, Nink.
Despite Goku struggling to be free, Nink prepares to jump off the ring, intending to sacrifice himself to eliminate Goku.
Before they both fall off, Goku goes Super Saiyan Blue to overpower the fighter, sending him knocked down and saving himself.
Beerus, clearly flustered and frightened by the near loss of his greatest warrior, yells at Goku for not going Blue before, but Goku wants to save his power.
