Dragon Ball: The Case for a Second Tournament of Power as the Simplest Challenge for Z-Fighters

Overview

  • Universe 7 has reached unprecedented levels of strength with the introduction of powerful new transformations among its top fighters.
  • After a decade of intensive training, Black Frieza now surpasses Goku and Vegeta’s Divine Transformations.
  • In the scenario of a second Tournament of Power, Universe 7’s fighters would likely dominate due to their remarkable abilities.

The Tournament of Power represented the most significant challenge faced by the Z-Fighters in the Dragon Ball franchise. The fate of the multiverse depended on this fierce competition, compelling each universe to assemble their mightiest warriors. Ultimately, Universe 7 and Universe 11 clashed in a spectacular showdown that captivated fans around the globe.

Jiren, the pinnacle warrior of Universe 11, was initially viewed as an invincible force. His downfall came through collaboration between Goku, Frieza, and Android 17. Despite the formidable obstacles presented in this tournament, a future Tournament of Power would likely present a much easier challenge for Universe 7’s fighters. Let’s explore the reasons behind this assertion.

Since the inception of Dragon Ball Super, fans have witnessed an explosive expansion of character transformations, significantly impacting the dynamics of the Tournament of Power. Both Goku and Vegeta harnessed new forms, with Goku achieving a transformative milestone known as Ultra Instinct.

This remarkable technique enables Goku to instinctively respond to threats, minimizing his need for defensive strategies while sharpening his offensive capabilities. Goku has painstakingly refined this form, resulting in his most powerful state to date.

Conversely, Vegeta has tapped into a Divine Transformation termed Ultra Ego—a form that enhances his power through damage taken, allowing him to become increasingly offensive. Despite some challenges in mastering this form, it has exhibited remarkable potential, outperforming Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku in its debut.

Further adding to Universe 7’s power roster, both Gohan and Broly have unlocked new stages of their evolution: Beast and Full Powered Super Saiyan. Their shared capabilities stem from the immense latent potential within them, enabling rapid progression to close significant power gaps.

Piccolo has also unveiled a formidable new transformation, complementing his already impressive Namekian abilities. Meanwhile, Granolah emerged as a formidable adversary who not only fought Ultra Instinct Goku to a standstill but also befriended the heroes, positioning him as an invaluable asset in a hypothetical second Tournament of Power.

While it’s plausible that fighters from other universes, such as Jiren, have also elevated their strength post-Tournament, the cumulative might of Universe 7 remains superior.

  • With Black Frieza in Universe 7’s roster, their strength reaches unprecedented heights.
  • If faced with adversities again, Frieza’s power would likely render him the last fighter standing.

Black Frieza’s inclusion elevates Universe 7’s status to unassailable heights. After spending a decade in a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Frieza emerged with a transformation so mighty that it effortlessly defeated Goku and Vegeta, both wielding their Divine forms.

If another Tournament of Power were to transpire, Frieza’s overwhelming power might render him a one-man army, capable of securing victory without assistance. His status as the last standing fighter would make him the primary contender for the Super Dragon Balls, opening a world of possibilities for unimaginable strength.
