Hey everyone! Today, I want to talk about Dragon Ball Super Episode 123. The episode aired a couple of hours ago, so I hope you guys have already watched it. If you haven’t, I suggest that you do, because this post contains heavy spoilers from the episode. With that out of the way, let’s begin.
Dragon Ball Super Episode 122 saw Vegeta beaten by Jiren, and Goku picking up from where Vegeta left off. The new episode was mainly focused on Goku, and his fight against Jiren. There wasn’t much to be excited about in this fight, considering we already know how powerful Jiren is, and that Super Saiyan Blue is no match for him. Even Goku knew it, and he approached Jiren with caution. This time around, it was different however.
Unlike last time, where Goku went all out, he took a strategic approach against Jiren, and tried to turn his overconfidence against him. Goku’s strategy for this fight was to trap Jiren, and then try to eliminate him.
He almost succeeded in this plan as well. But this is Jiren we’re talking about. There is absolutely no way he could’ve been defeated that easily. He’s just too powerful, and it would also have been a huge disappointment. As expected, Jiren climbed back up instantly, and he battered Goku. It took help from Vegeta in his new form to push Jiren back, and even then Jiren wasn’t using his full power.
Further, Jiren wasn’t the only character who was on the verge of being defeated in Dragon Ball Super Episode 123. Toppo was nearly eliminated as well. Strength wise, he was levels above both Gohan and 17. But, 17’s strategy worked wonders, and Toppo would’ve been eliminated if Gohan wouldn’t have stopped his attack. I think Universe 7 will rue not taking their chance to eliminate Toppo, because he is a monster as well.
Universe 7 still look like the underdogs here. I think that’ll continue being the case until the final moments of the Tournament of Power. I don’t know how they’ll beat Jiren, because according to the spoilers, he’ll keep powering up even in the next episode. The Tournament of Power is getting intense by the minute, and the time remaining is just 7 minutes now.
