Cracking the Time-Skip

Goku begins predicting where Hit will appear after each 0.1-second freeze, landing blows that stun the assassin. He reveals that Hit keeps his hands in his coat pockets to hide leg movements from opponents. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan and Hit fights seriously, but Vados notes that constant prediction will exhaust Goku's stamina. Sensing trouble, Goku reveals the standard Super Saiyan God form, shocking even the deities. Vegeta fumes that Goku was hiding yet another transformation.

Beyond the Assassin

In Super Saiyan God, Goku clearly outpaces the Time-Skip, landing blow after blow. Whis explains that Vegeta's earlier Super Saiyan Blue operated at less than one-tenth of its usual power due to repeated transformations draining stamina; Goku's current form surpasses what Vegeta could produce. Hit powers up to full strength for the first time in ages, warning his body cannot sustain it for long. He gambles everything on one final Time-Skip, but Goku leaps to Super Saiyan Blue and shatters through it. His God Kamehameha tears through Vados's barrier, forcing emergency repairs.

Goku's Gamble

Goku acknowledges Hit is holding back because tournament rules forbid killing. He proposes a rematch without restrictions and voluntarily jumps out of the ring. Beerus erupts with fury, especially after Whis reveals that Monaka is actually a powerless amateur whose reputation was fabricated to motivate Goku and Vegeta. Piccolo overhears and realizes everything rests on the final match. A terrified Monaka enters the ring and throws a feeble punch. Hit, recognizing an amateur, quietly launches himself out of bounds. Universe 7 is declared the champion. As Champa fumes, Zeno arrives, announces a future tournament with all twelve universes, and shakes Goku's outstretched hand while Beerus and Champa look on in horror. The Super Dragon Balls are gathered, a wish is granted, and the fighters return home.
