For One’s Own Pride! Vegeta’s Challenge to the Strongest!!
Universe 11 vs. Universe 7 Begins
With Universe 3 erased, the Tournament of Power enters its decisive stage. Only Universe 7 and Universe 11 remain. The arena grows tense as Jiren, Toppo, and Dyspo prepare to face Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Frieza, and Android 17. The battle lines are drawn, signaling that every clash from this point forward could decide the fate of entire universes.
Goku vs. Jiren, Round Two
Goku once again steps up against Jiren, testing the limits of his strength after his previous encounters. Though not yet in Ultra Instinct, Goku utilizes everything from Super Saiyan Blue to Kaio-Ken x20 in an effort to match Jiren’s might. However, Jiren’s overwhelming defense and calm demeanor continue to demonstrate why he is the strongest fighter in the tournament.
Vegeta’s Unyielding Pride
Unwilling to let Goku stand alone, Vegeta boldly challenges Jiren. Driven by his Saiyan pride and determination to surpass Goku, Vegeta launches relentless attacks. Unlike Goku, he refuses to rely on risky transformations, instead pushing his base Super Saiyan Blue form to its limits. His stubbornness and prideful spirit earn Jiren’s respect, as Vegeta lands a rare clean hit, proving that his resolve is just as unshakable as Goku’s.
The Others Hold the Line
While Vegeta and Goku take on Jiren, Gohan and Frieza team up against Dyspo, who uses his incredible speed to frustrate them. At the same time, Android 17 engages Toppo with clever tactics, stalling for time. Every fighter understands the stakes, and the tournament becomes a battlefield of pure strategy, endurance, and pride.
My Analysis
Vegeta’s True Resolve
This episode shines a spotlight on Vegeta’s pride. Unlike Goku’s reckless pursuit of new heights, Vegeta’s determination comes from his responsibility as a warrior, husband, and father. His willingness to stand toe-to-toe with Jiren reflects both his growth and his refusal to ever be overshadowed by Goku.
The Rising Stakes
Episode 122 establishes that every remaining battle is a clash of ideals as much as strength. Pride, survival, and universal existence hang in the balance. The pacing slows down slightly, giving the tension weight and allowing the rivalry between Goku, Vegeta, and Jiren to take center stage.
The Beginning of the End
By narrowing the focus to the most powerful remaining fighters, the Tournament of Power officially enters its endgame. Episode 122 is less about eliminations and more about setting the stage for the titanic clashes that will decide which universe survives.
Conclusion
Dragon Ball Super Episode 122 highlights Vegeta’s pride and resilience in the face of impossible odds. While Goku continues to push for Ultra Instinct, Vegeta proves that sheer determination and belief in his own strength can still make an impact against Jiren. The tension escalates, reminding viewers that every moment from now on inches both universes closer to erasure.
