Find them Out! Deathmatch with a Furtive Attacker!

After Master Roshi takes a moment to rest following his exhausting battles, Goku moves on to continue fighting. Gohan and Piccolo soon find themselves under attack from an unseen enemy. When Universe 6's Dr. Rota attempts to reveal his special ability, he is struck down by a concentrated energy blast before he can finish speaking. The attack zeroes in on body heat, making it nearly impossible to hide even behind cover or within dust clouds.

Through careful observation, Piccolo deduces that the shots are being reflected through small spherical drones scattered across the arena. Gohan and Piccolo heat up their entire surroundings to confuse the attacker's heat-seeking method, but the enemy responds by bombarding the whole area. When Goku and Vegeta arrive, they discover the true nature of the threat: Harmira of Universe 2 is the actual sniper, while Prum serves as a living mirror, redirecting every blast.

Tien Shinhan uses his Multi-Form technique to create four copies of himself. While three clones are taken out by Harmira, the remaining copy corners the sniper with a devastating Neo Tri-Beam. However, Harmira destroys the ground beneath them, dragging Tien off the stage. In a final act of resolve, Tien's other clones grab Harmira and pull him off as well, resulting in a double elimination. Vegeta then knocks both Prum and Dr. Rota out of the ring with a single Galick Gun, bringing that chapter to a definitive close.

This episode highlights how a single unconventional fighter can disrupt even the strongest warriors. Harmira and Prum's sniper-and-mirror combination forces Team Universe 7 into a reactive posture, showing that raw power means nothing when you cannot locate your opponent.

Tien's sacrifice carries emotional weight. His willingness to accept a draw rather than retreat demonstrates his commitment to the team. Beerus's uncharacteristic praise for Tien reinforces that even partial victories matter in a war of attrition. The episode underscores a recurring theme: every elimination counts, and how you lose can be just as important as how you win.

With 32 minutes remaining, Team Universe 7 loses another member while Harmira, Prum, and Dr. Rota are eliminated. The double elimination trade represents a net positive for Universe 7 in the numbers game.

This is also the first episode where Vegeta and Goku coordinate rather than fighting independently, foreshadowing their growing cooperation as the tournament intensifies. Their closing vow to fight at full strength for their fallen teammates sets the emotional tone for the battles ahead.
