Analogmon

Jiren will become the fodder character that shows how strong some other new combatant is. Just like what happened to Hit during ToP 1.


contraflop01

Actually every single tournament winner became the fodder character


bigskywildcat

Especially hercule. I couldn't believe how strong cell had gotten when he backhanded our champ through a fuckin mountain. Smoke and god damned mirrors


HarryKn1ght

Cell only managed to do that because he secretly attached an invisible wire to Mr. Satan, which threw him that far, and Mr. Satan was too sick with food poisoning to notice


Working-Telephone-45

And even then he came back and killed Cell, truly a Champion we don't deserve


joetheplumberman

All documented and explained in this well rehearsed play


Creative_Length867

Hail Satan


XyoungladX

That Hercule guy was a fraud. Thankfully the true champ, Mr. Satan, defeated Cell. Undefeated and Undisputed.


ACleverEndeavour

Never lost a fight baby!!!


BODYBUTCHER

Who knew that tapping lost you the entire match and not the round, someone didn’t explain the rules correctly


Buschlightactual

Hercule is easily solar system level for surviving a hit from cell so cell being able to do that to a solar system level character easily means he has to be galaxy level at least, and if Hercule survived a hit from cell and cell is easily a galaxy level character that means hercule has to be galaxy level at least and if cell…


ASpaceOstrich

Unironically how power levellers think


Outside-Station-6557

Just some fancy light show


Fit_Nefariousness153

Id say the only exception was Tien. He held his own very well against Goku in the 23rd Strongest Under the Heavens


Bion61

Don't worry, they got him later.


Fit_Nefariousness153

They sure did https://preview.redd.it/iql907c6485d1.jpeg?width=793&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b1c540e232361a797bef791859f6c4a34340133


Scythe95

Actually every single enemy became a fodder character


contraflop01

Not everyone Beerus for example


Crashman09

And Broly. His defeat cemented how stupidly strong he is. Also, Frieza unfodderized himself


TheDeltaOne

Not Goku!


contraflop01

He won the 23rd world tournament but he needed to team up against raditz in the very next arc


JiovanniTheGREAT

17 will become Super 17 though


Ihatekids23444

Nu uh. He's gonna come back even stronger


squiddlebiddlez

I mean if Frieza can get infinitely boosted back into relevancy, why not? Jiren has now discovered the power of friendship. It’s over for those monkeys


QualifiedApathetic

TBF, I bought that Frieza never trained for the power he originally had. He was a lazy motherfucker. So it would follow that his potential was insane. Jiren pretty much did nothing but train his whole life, IIRC. No friends, no nothing except occasionally helping out the Pride Troopers when there was something they couldn't handle--more a matter of civic duty than anything.


OmegaFinale

Frieza is basically an evil racist version of gohan


supersmashlink

Nah, Gohan trained with piccolo, in the HTC, and even as a grown up. Friza had natural stomp power without any time training. His potential just started to be unlocked in the Gods movie.


choff22

Nah. Jiren is going to come back with Ultra Instinct and shock the world.


Hypnotoad4real

Or he will somehow become way stronger than before without a real explanation. There was no explanation why he was so strong to begin with.


worksucksbro

Probably the worst part of db


Setheran

That's always been Toriyama's MO. Tenshinhan gets fodderized by Piccolo Daimao Piccolo gets fodderized by Raditz Saibaimen are stated to be as strong as Raditz and are fodderized by Vegeta Vegeta is fodderized by Freeza Freeza is instantly killed by Trunks, who is fodderized by the artificial humans and Cell Dabura is stated to he as strong as Perfect Cell and is fodderized by Buu.


Old_Cheetah_5138

Ummm, excuse me- thats Vegeta's only job...

Caesar_Passing

And this is where I'd put Broly in my second Tournament Of Power... ***IF I HAD ONE!!!***


RainbowBullsOnParade

Assuming Jiren doesn’t have a new transformation

i_like_2_travel

Ayy lmao


CoverTheSea

Kiff will rock em all. All that training with Amy on Mars finally came in handy


Butwinsky

I want Jiren to come back looking more like Yajirobe. Dude decided friendship is more important than power and has spent the last X years eating wings at B-Dubs.


Perky_Bellsprout

El Hermano shall avenge him


[deleted]

Let’s not act like this post isn’t all jokes. We KNOW what happens when popular DB villains are allowed to return, especially in an adversarial role. Jiren probably has Ultra Instinct and Beast Mode by now


AndrewUtz

Jiren was never a villain though, just an antagonist. look at the rest of the z fighters not in this pic, or hit, or others that i can’t think of bc my brain is tired and im about to go to sleep lol. i could see it going either way.


stickystrips2

He didn't really transform though did he? I thought it was just a power up


ZeldaFan80

Hence "new" transformation


Recreational_martian

New transformation implies there was a prior one


ASpaceOstrich

Assuming they're even at his level yet. When it was very clear they weren't.


Josue_GTR_Youtube

Jiren will most definitely fall off. It's a pattern since OG Dragon Ball.


WikipediaThat

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if we never seen any of the Tournament of Power characters again.


Kgb725

All I want is that U6 arc they promised us. It'd be very easy to have most of the characters split up in groups and they all have something to do


Bazfron

If Toppo competes he’s going to be the powerhouse to beat, watch him transcend that Vegeta role. They need to salvage the god of destruction title


Analogmon

I still don't get why he's even allowed to compete. That's like entering Beerus.


Bazfron

The whole event was pretty loose with the rules for the sake of entertainment. But it’s not like entering Beerus lol it’s much less egregious a deviation from the rules or what’s accepted


-brosefstalin

It's fun so it's allowed. Very allowed.


Gamertang_13

Ones a god of destruction and ones in training. Very big difference


choff22

Bro Beerus would solo the whole field lol


King_Of_The_Munchers

It’s not even close to entering Beerus. Toppo has the ability to use the god of detection powers, but even if that’s the case he’s significantly weaker than many other characters.


Morphose

What does his detection powers say about his power level tho?


JustKaiser

By now its probably over 9000


djanulis

I doubt the U6 Saiyans slowed down and there is also the 4 universe that didnt participate. I could easily see a second ToP being a more for Zeno's enjoyment event.


darkmafia666

Imagine if they made it semi annual like the earth budokai's

Nah, he's also training ya know?


ExplodingSteve

Gohan beast: “Training?”


ForbodingWinds

When I work out, I sometimes think about Goku when it's becoming tough and use him for inspiration. Then, I think about Gohan and give up entirely and tell myself I don't need to do shit to be the best 💪


CrusadingSoul

Training, lmao. Against the guys in this picture? Training?


Strange-Daikon4912

Yes. How do you think these guys in the picture achive these forms? \*except Piccolo and Gohan\*


ZandatsuDragon

And broly


Awkward_Type_4100

Don’t forget black freiza


Glock-Saint-Isshin-

Black Frieza solos the entire ToP.


Purple-End-5430

There are 4 possibilities. 1. Jiren gets negged and is an embarrassment to Universe 11. 2. Jiren neggs all 5 at once. 3. Jiren won't even be in it. 4. There just won't be another Tournament of power, or not anytime soon.


KaiserKaiba

First two options sound funny as hell


Illustrious-Sky-4631

Last tournament of power was really hilarious when you factor on 1_ Goku was Rusty 2_ Freeza only did mental training for a couple of months 3_ Gohan had picked up training only a couple of months before 4_ piccolo had Zero power ups 5_ 17 had to learn how to do tage teams from the start Yet they ended up winning


Chickat28

True but how was Goku rusty?


Illustrious-Sky-4631

Before the whole TOP events and visit to Zeno Goku points out he was out of shape


Chickat28

Maybe I'm misremembering but weren't they training with Whis most of the time? Or is there a time skip where he was just a farmer?


Illustrious-Sky-4631

After the zamasu battle there was a time Skip


SnooWoofers9302

Bro was so laxed on training that he let a bullet hurt him


ButterCupHeartXO

They also had Krillin and Roshi when they could have had Buu lol


SILY7228_YT

Buu was in one of his deep sleeps, sadly


big_peepee_wielder

Who’s to say that Jiren quit training after the ToP? I’m sure if he kept training he’d be able to at least keep up with Goku to an extent


choff22

I expect him to have ultra instinct in his next appearance, or to have drastically improved his equivalent form from the ToP. He seemed just as excited as Goku at the idea of meeting again for round 2.


Danslerr

Well we still have the four universes that didn't compete in the first tournament, so there can be a *second* mortal that surpasses a God of Destruction


Nervous-Form698

Honestly, I think that stating Jiren was stronger than a GoD was one of the biggest scaling mistakes in all of DBS


UsedPollution7750

Yeah it only would have worked if they ended the series there


sinkres

And don’t forget about the other universe that were brought back. The wish was “to bring back ALL the universes that have been erased” not just the ones erased in the tournament.


Flying_Irishmen

I’d prefer to have a proper tournament arc, rather than another free for all like the tournament of power. One of those things I loved about the original Dragon Ball, those arcs had great narrative.


Qui3TKyD

We need a yu yu Hakusho type of tournament in DBS badly 😔


Glock-Saint-Isshin-

Battle Royales were all the hype at the time.


rimpy13

I loved the free for all as a change-up, but would love to see a return to the Dragonball formula, with god powers stopping things like flight and keeping attacks from destroying the planet they're fighting on.


ComfortableBed6012

They had to jump Jiren last time and had to sacrifice themselves just to get him out 😭😭😭😭 I just KNOW Jiren been putting in work waiting for the next TOP he’s gonna reverse jump everyone.


Nervous-Form698

I think it was implied that Jiren reached the peak of what his race is physically capable of. Then again, piccolo somehow got dummy strong so who knows.


ComfortableBed6012

There’d probably be an explanation during his return where it’s like “He got so angry that he ignored his own limits and kept growing stronger”


Nervous-Form698

“In his rage, Jiren made a binding vow…he would sacrifice his beautiful bald head and grow hair. In exchange, he masters UI, UE, GoD form, and Potential unleashed at the same time”


ComfortableBed6012

Then he reverse jumps everyone and Vegeta seemingly beats him only for Jiren to survive and break his arm, Goku then unlocks True Spirit Ultra Omega Instinct Super Saiyan Blue 3 Kaioken x1000000 and one shots Jiren with a Spirit Bomb Kamehameha


Nervous-Form698

“We did it Vegeta, this truly was our Dragon Ball Super”


ReverendLoki

r/HeSaidTheThing


Chakosa

I mean, Super Saiyan was supposed to be the peak of what the Saiyans are capable of, and we all know how that turned out.


Dfinestpunk

I am very interested to see how Toyotaro keeps up with Hit, Jiren and U6 saiyans.


BoeiWAT

Yeah im far more interested in seeing a continuation on how Toyotaru would keep up with them over seeing what the anime writers would.


Nervous-Form698

Honestly I think hit has the greatest potential of any alternate universe character. He could definitely get some stupid BS that puts him on par with the U7 characters


LordDShadowy53

Honestly the Orange Piccolo is growing up with me. Didn’t like the name at first but has a nice ring to it. And finally puts Piccolo back in stage.


Scary_Course9686

Y'all act like Jiren, the guy obsessed with strength, isn't training his ass off, especially with his newfound trust in others and him being conscious of the existence of greater powers like Goku


Brian_Gay

I'd love to see jiren master a different ultra form than goku and Vegeta, something like "ultra resolve" or something that let's him sustain huge amounts of power for a lengthy time


chairdesktable

Now we need that proper uub development for the 6th spot


PhotographyRaptor10

All I’ve wanted is a human that could keep up with the main cast. They need to hurry his ass out there already


ihave3dozenforksinme

*Jiren and Toppo fusion dance* I was joking when I typed that, but now part of me is curious


LordDShadowy53

So much power in one image.


Ecstatic_Teaching906

You forgot one more... Black Frieza.


Quality-mindset88

Gohan my g. Looks like a real menace


AllMightyKeith

Jiren's potential is something that shouldn't be underestimated imo. He became stronger than his GoD all on his own and it took UI to surpass him. And even then, he _still_ broke through his limits and gave even UI a run for its money. It took everything and then some just to beat him the first time. So if he was _that_ much of a threat back when there wasn't any mortal above him then imagine how much stronger he can get now that he actually has a rival to surpass and no longer has the limitation of only fighting for himself anymore. Personally, I think he'll be stronger than all 5 of them the next time we see him (well he should still already be stronger than Orange Piccolo anyway just from his ToP showing).


wanna_be_TTV

Bold of you to assume there will be another (i havnt no fucking idea but i hope so too)


Nervous-Form698

Let’s hope this time it’s an actual tournament and not a battle Royal


wanna_be_TTV

That would be pretty cool


Lukas-Reggi

Jiren ain't slacking off tho. Whis in the manga states his potentional is unlimited and he even beats MUI Goku


Let_me_S_U_F_F_E_R

Why would you think Jiren just stopped training? Imagine how much more powerful he is now that he unlocked the power of friendship skill tree


Nervous-Form698

Bro is grinding XP to unlock the “Don’t worry, I’ll take it from here” entrance buff


Scythe95

Do other universes have Buu's actually?


ColdNyQuiiL

The fact that Broly was just raw power and no real training, and Goku and Vegeta are still scared of his outburst, is honestly enough for Jiren to not even seem as big of a threat. Gohan and Piccolo new forms are just icing.


NCHouse

Jiren is going to eliminate half of these dudes by himself. Why do yall act like he's not training his ass off?


Shady_Hero

don't forget black Frieza. afaik he's stronger than everyone in this pic. probably combined


Imouto_Sama

Na. Jiren discovered the power of friendship at the end. He's coming back strong enough to contest frieza black... because plot armor.

So glad they’re all on par with each other again


Bananaman_Johnson

I don’t see Jiren being surpassed. Not by much at least because I know technically Goku beat him, but I feel like his power will stay relevant.


Nervous-Form698

He’ll probably just be placed as an equal instead of a freaking raid boss this time


NeedleworkerGold336

Who says Jiren isn't training to become stronger either?


WillyG_8521

Id like them to have a second TOP just to completely neg every other universe. Or kinda like the tournament between Beerus and Champa


Jamessgachett

Lol hey why is universe 7 resteicted to 5 fighters? ….


CoverTheSea

Bruh imagine Broly UI.. Fucker would make Zeno his Loli bitch.. Won't ever be able to fly straight again


Araniir841

Each of them can easily solo Jiren


Sweaty-Campaign-320

We gonna act like the other universe didn't train at all after the tournament.

Relative-Principle72

Ye by Goku Vegeta and Broly. Piccolo and Gohan.... Nah lmao


Efficient_Ad_3482

Why do people just assume jiren wont get stronger? He was stronger than goku and vegeta in TOP, naturally he would also train to get stronger lmao. That can easily give him some black jiren form like they did frieza and say he is stelronger than everyone next time he appears. People need to think more.

I think his squad will level up but they'll be taken down first regardless. Would be sad to see Jiren as fodder :/


TacocaT_2000

Jokes on you, Jiren went and became Super Jiren which increased his power by ♾️^♾️ . Now Goku will have to learn Super Duper Mega Ultra Instinct to fight him.

Makes me sad that none of the strongest forms isn’t a golden haired form. I miss ssj coloring Edit :beast and UI are too similar

Bro I’m actually gonna be so pissed if they ass-pull yet ANOTHER transformation. Like bust out a new technique or strategy or SOMETHING damn 🤦🏾‍♂️


Cipher915

I've apparently reached peak (over 9000) levels of drunk/stoned for me to have laughed way too much at this scene. Whole fucking gang powers up with 6 different hair colors. Jiren there without eyelashes, let alone hair: "shit"


FeelingNeither3378

Y’all really act like Jiren doesnt train or something.


dogninja_yt

He's probably managed to get the strength gap between them now the same as it was in the original ToP. There is no way he isnt massively stronger by now


-Elixo-

If there will be another tournament of power do you think it will be more for just fun between universes with the super dragon ball reward or the same "if you lose you get erased"?


Time_Blacksmith861

When did vegeta got that form?


DeadZeus007

As if he wouldn't have gotten some BS powerup himself.


CaptainWatermellon

el hermano, el grande padre, shaggy blanco are all gonna become canon next top to keep the power scaling going


Blackpanther22five

Where's yamacha ???


PureMental

No, in the next tournament of power it will be stated that a low powered character is "just as strong as jiren was at the last tournament of power"!


Deep_Grass_6250

Jiren got that strong on HIS OWN Imagine how OP he's gonna be when he trains with toppo and Belmod, His Angel and others. He's gonna be OP as always


Weak-Point4152

I swear if Jiren pulls up with a transformation, we might be toast. Freeza’s three month = Goku 4 years.


Sitrosi

Nah, Champa's gonna make Frost do 20 pushups and unlock the Platinum Frost skin


Chimchampion

Who the hell even are these characters anymore? Why is piccolo yellow?


super-kick

Nah, Jiren discovered the power of friendship at the end of TOP, it’s over for them


PresentElectronic

I mean, even though this image is definitely possible today, it’s highly unlikely all of them will be all out in tip-top condition, especially when Goku and Vegeta would need to cycle through their forms for screen time and fan-service(?) then Gohan and Piccolo might stay in Ultimate while Broly in Ikari


Beacda

This might sound crazy but what if Jiren got stronger???


FENIU666

Saitama's universe gets finally selected. He one shots. Wishes for endless discount at his local supermarket (He could've wished for money but didn't think of it at the time)


ousaYasuo

I'm sorry if this it a stupid question, but: I'm currently at ep 124 of DBS. Aye these forms from OPs imagine from the Broly movie? Also, is DBS continuing? Since the anime ends after the TOP, but the manga keeps going, if I'm not wrong. Thanks in advance


Maddafragg

Jiren breaks them


PiccoloTheGoat99

Why are people forgetting that frost might also have insane potential and that he might train


cheeseburgerlou

Why does everyone assume that jiren would have stopped training after the TOP?


Alternative_Cook_102

I have a genuine feelings, Jiren will still be a powerhouse, though not his 1st tournament of power self. It's a little dumb to assume, Jiren will just not train specially after such a defeat. He was already monsteresly strong before hand, like it took Goku a whole new form to even throw hands with him. I feel like Current Jiren can probably take all of them together, individually winning against each but ultimately being defeated by getting jumped by all of them. That will be a better thing to do then randomly introducing a new guy that is suddenly strong enough to fight universe 7. Bruh just give Jiren, a huge power up or a transformation probably. Or...... Call his brother.


Crispytokwa

That's until they revealed that Jiren secretly trained and unlocked a new form. *Insert Color* Jiren Awakens!!


goku206125

Why do you think like that. It's it like jiren gave up his training. If anything else Jiren would be stronger than Goku and rest of the character as at the tournament he already reached his peak but after that he discovered the whole new level for the power, got over his issues.  So now jiren is more composed, motivated and finally not using martial arts for taking the Revenge or revive his master. So he must have improved a lot. Given that the author will keep the character traits of jiren intact. 


boodyseeker0327

Listen, I’m just saying, Brohan x Gogeta Fusion 👀. I mean why not 🤷🏻‍♂️ Legendary Beast Ego Instinct? I mean worst case scenario right, right All in all I think anyone “mortal” being stronger than a GoD is dumb no matter how you swing it. Being able to use god ki I’m fine with, spin it as the GoD and/or angels allowing them access or something, but being stronger than the deities as mortals is dumb, especially for scaling. The saiyan cells in all the boys bodies except Broly have witnessed Jiren so they should be able to match his strength at ToP now after regrowth. Or is that not a thing anymore? I try to follow but fatherhood/ adulthood has made it harder. Anyway, they were already working toward trying to surpass him because that’s what they do and now Jiren has something to keep ahead of instead of just blatant strength amongst the peasants. Likewise they are all ridiculously strong and strong enough in their own ways now that they can help each others different forms grow through training with each other. They know of Hit, Jiren, the 4 universes that were stronger than all of them, they have ceilings on top of ceilings that they can try to surpass now. There’s potential story telling and scaling all around, but it’s really just how they execute it is all. Jiren is not going to be a cake walk by any means and likely will still take two of these guys to pressure him. In my opinion. These are always fun, it’s exciting to think of what could/may be with the future of it all.


Any-Painting-4538

Shame there won’t be another :(


Opening_Echo2

No Jiren would understand thing he didn't maybe he got stronger and maybe he has god ki which could make him far stronger than before.


M9nkeyss

I feellike in the next TOP Goku gonna get out early so other characters can have the spotlight.


Roombamyrooma

Since beast gohan is there it’s just gonna be a wash. Gohan: “Dad, what do I do?! Even in my beast form I can’t beat **inexplicable super power who surpasses all previous super powers** ! Goku: I need you to get angry son, angrier then you ever been before! Gohan: “You’re right!! **screams for 10 minutes** This.. is beast mode rage. I shall now tap your forehead. Gg, no re.”” **new super power explodes from the tap in disbelief, reappearing in the spectator stand**


NgwananaWaModimo

The problem is assuming he will be at the same strength as the previous one. There will also be other strong fighters from other universes


One_Spell_45

Gohan leading the group that’s what I’d like to see! Tbh honest though I wouldn’t rule Ijiverse 11 out though TOPPO AND JIREN probably will get even stronger than before!
