The assassins have surrounded Baba’s place and while Baba
and her ghost attendant look scared out of their minds Freeza look excited. The
assassins proclaim they aren’t from a weak universe like Seven and challenge Goku
and Freeza to a fight. Goku warns Freeza not to exhaust himself but Freeza
states that his time in hell was mental training and he can now fully use his
golden form. He demonstrates this by rapidly killing assassins. The killing
angers Goku but Freeza says there is no difference between being killed by him
and having their universe erased.
Put on the defensive the assassins try to take Baba hostage.
Goku intervenes—yelling at Baba to hide and beating up the assassins. He then interrupts
freeza’s killing spree. But while they argue the head assassin prepares to use
the Hakaishin energy he was given by Sidra. Freeza notices the surprise attack
however and challenges him to attack him with it. Freeza easily counters the
first attack but it was a bluff. As the assassin throws another energy attack it
is destroyed as well. Freeza gloats only for a third energy ball to his him
from below. But the divine attack fails to have any effect. Instead with great
effort Freeza controls the energy and kills the head assassin.
Examining the ball Freeza concludes the energy comes from a
God. Goku gives the assassins a good natured plea to settle things in the ring—which
Freeza uses as an opening to hit Goku with the divine energy.
Meanwhile the stage for the tournament of power is complete.
Zen’oh congratulates the high priest on his work.
Cutting back to Universe Seven Freeza explains he was
thinking about killing Goku, telling him to hurry and escape the energy ball,
however Goku struggles with this. With Goku indisposed Freeza Takes care of the
rest of the assassins.
In Universe 9 Sidra and Roh await word from the assassins.
Instead they are contacted by Freeza who stole the assassin’s communicator.
Freeza points out they now have proof of Universe Sevens duplicity but instead
of telling on them Freeza wants to switch sides. Having trapped Goku there is
no way Universe Seven can win so if Universe Nine resurrects him he will fight
for them.
Roh is hesitant to take this deal and while he and Sidra
argue Beerus and Whis show up. Freeza declairs that time is up and destroys the
communicator.
Beerus easily frees Goku and asks what happened. Freeza says
the energy isn’t a big deal but Beerus has seen though him—asking if he has
been trying to make deals with other universes. As Goku Beerus and Whis argue Freeza thinks to
himself that the tournament is a perfect opportunity to manipulate the Gods.
Before they wrap things up however Goku wants a match with
Freeza. Beerus and Whis humor him—again. Whis declares that whoever lands the
first punch wins. Goku says if he wins Freeza has to commit to being their companion
for the tournament. Freeza says if he wins he gets to do what he wants. While
in hell Freeza fully concentrated on imagining his revenge on Goku and is
convinced he will win. The two come right at each other and land their hits at
the same time. Both are knocked out and fall into the water.
This episode almost makes up for last week—almost. We got
some good, mindless action. We also learned about what Freeza has been up to,
he is stronger than ever and is even with Goku in his Super Saiyan Blue form.
We also see Freeza’s potential duplicity. He has already tried to defect once.
Will he do so again? Between the fighting, plot progression and the character
building we got a decent episode.
The tournament begins next episode. Will it live up to fan expectations?
