Jayr POV - Dragon Ball Universe, Null Realm - Age 780
In response to Basil failing to knock out Napapa, Gowasu, the Supreme Kai of the 10th Universe, stands up and praises him loudly, "Oh! Napapa, that was well endured!" followed by Rumsshi, the God of Destruction of the same universe, who laughs while doing the elicopter with his proboscis and says, "Hohahaha! Of course it was. Napapa is called the Magician of the Edge Ring. He's the Yokoduna of Dohyodoru."
Hearing the God of Destruction's words, the Zenos ask in perfect sync, "Dohyodoru?" which makes the Grand Minister professionally explain in a few words, "It's a martial art of the 10th Universe. The Yokoduna is the strongest Rikishi."
At this point, the Zenos exclaim, "Wow!" "Amazing. Interesting." followed by Eri, who looks at me and simply asks, "Isn't that just Sumo?" to which I reply with, "Basically... but is it a form of Sumo taken to extreme levels with Ki Blasts and all the usual thing that happens in a battle in this universe. Because of that, Dohyodoru has more versatility compared to regular Sumo."
While I'm saying that, I focus back on Goku and see that he is continuing to fight Ganos, however, the situation soon changes as Ganos seems to realize that Goku is a tough opponent, and thus he backs away and decides to target some other opponent.
At this point, Goku lays his eyes on Top, who is also looking back at him after launching his Justice Flash, but then he is knocked aside by Murichim, revealing Jiren to be standing still in the ensuing chaos.
At the same time, the Zenos spot both Jiren and Orphèe, and immediately they cheerfully comment out loud.
"Ooh, that guy!"
"Look, look!"
"Keep an eye on them!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"The Tournament of Power..."
""... Is so fun!!""
Rabanra starts to charge toward Jiren, but with a simple glance, Jiren intimidates him, forcing him to back off without even moving, making the Gods of the 11th Universe calmly comment.
"Jiren isn't moving."
"Good, good. That's Jiren's style."
They aren't the only ones focusing on Jiren at the moment, as my wives too took notice of him and are now commenting.
"That guy is very strong..."
"Indeed, he has the aura of a true warrior... still, it is nothing compared to this one's dear husband!"
"Something about him kinda reminds me of the Saints."
"You are right. He is definitely a respectable warrior dedicated to fighting for justice."
"Justice, huh...? I hope it isn't the same kind of Justice that was practiced by the Marines in the One Piece Universe."
"I wouldn't worry about that, Robin. If that is the case, I'm pretty sure Jayr is going to do something about it sooner or later."
I also take advantage of this moment to take a closer look at Jiren, who is still standing in the middle of the chaotic battle.
Jiren is a tall humanoid with an extremely muscular and well-defined build. He has a large, sleek head similar in shape to the folkloric aliens known as the Greys.
His legs are rather short compared to his upper body, which is probably a racial trait.
He has gray skin, big, round black eyes with enlarged pupils and dark gray sclera, flat round ears, and a barely visible flat nose.
Jiren wears the uniform of the Pride Troopers, consisting of a red, spandex suit with black sections around the collar and legs, white gloves, and white boots.

Looking at Jiren, especially with my eyes as the God of Justice, I can't help but smile and mentally praise him, 'Without any doubt, Jiren is a man who devotes everything to justice and never acts for selfish reasons. He truly lives to protect his universe and would never do anything that goes against his own sense of justice. Even the reason why he is currently remaining still in the middle of that chaotic battle is because he is following his own sense of justice instead of some kind of tactic to win the Tournament of Power or studying the environment. Basically, the reason why he isn't acting is because he wants to act only when absolutely necessary, as he doesn't want to be the cause behind the destruction of another universe at the hands of Zeno.'
Of course, that isn't the only thing I see in him, as the knowledge of the anime and what I'm able to see with my eyes gives me a much wider perspective of the man, 'But that doesn't mean he is without flaws. Jiren is very proud of his strength. When fighting, Jiren deliberately allows his opponents to attack him with their ultimate abilities, only to counter them in order to display his superiority. As such, Jiren shows a great excess of confidence bordering on arrogance. Jiren's selfless sense of duty and arrogant demeanor stem from the traumatizing losses from his childhood, both the murder of his loved ones and the essential betrayal of those he trusted in the past. Desiring so strongly to bring absolute justice to Universe 11, Jiren's single drive has evolved to the point where he crudely believes that absolute strength is the only way towards justice, and as such, is compelled to prove himself the mightiest of all. He even refuses to accept the help of his comrades, even in moments when he is pressured by the opponent. Jiren is haunted by his past losses, desperately trying to undo it all by forging his own path of justice. While fighting for justice, he has no loyalty to anyone beyond himself, believing that trusting in others will ultimately backfire. As such, he has no qualms about his allies falling in battle, seeing it as them doing their job and them at least providing him with more information on how to handle the battle.'
While I'm thinking that, Goku prepares to battle Jiren one-on-one, but he is grabbed behind and held in a headlock by the muscular warrior from Universe 4, Nink.
Nink is a large green humanoid who resembles an ogre or deities in Asian lore.
He is muscular and has white hair, yellow eyes, and fangs protruding from his mouth. His long white hair is tied in a ponytail, and he wears a blue cuirass with one shoulder strap.
He has a gold emblem on his cuirass and has brown forearm bracers with white bands near his shoulders. His garments overall somewhat resemble a gladiator, wearing a belt with a gold buckle, white shorts, and boots.
(Image Here - Nink)
Watching Goku being caught by Nink, the Gods of the 7th Universe and the 4th Universe, can't help but exclaim and comment.
"Aaaah!"
"Goku-san!"
"Haaa... For Zeno's sake, he let his guard down again."
"Hiehehe. Feel the terror of our Nink!"
Despite Goku fighting to be free, Nink continues to hold him tightly as he slowly moves toward the edge of the fighting stage and prepares to jump off the ring, intending to sacrifice himself to eliminate Goku, however, before they both fall off, Goku goes Super Saiyan Blue to overpower the fighter, sending him out of the fighting stage and saving himself.
Shortly after that, Goku returns to his base form, scratches the back of his head, and casually comments, "Man, that was close!" which makes Beerus yell, "Hey! Dammit, Goku! If you can beat him with Super Saiyan Blue, why didn't you do it sooner!?"
Hearing that, Goku waves his hand and apologizes, "Sorry, Beerus-sama. I wanted to save my power," which makes Whis sigh and comment, "That's fine, but there's no point if you lose."
While that is happening, Nink is instantly transported to the stands to spectate where Quitela, the God of Destruction of the 4th Universe, berates him for failing to throw out Goku and consigning them a warrior without showing any positive result.
Soon, the Grand Minister calmly announces, "The 4th Universe's Nink-san has dropped out." making the Zenos bring up their GodPads before they quickly tap on the symbol rapresenting the 4th Universe, and then on the picture of Nink turning the picture into a black and white one showing that he has been eliminated from the Tournament of Power.
"Nink, dropout."
"Who'll be next?"
"Who, who?"
Shortly after, Goku is surrounded by a number of warriors from the 9th Universe, more specifically by Bergamo, Basil, Lavender, Sorrel, and Hop, making me focus on them.
Bergamo is the oldest, tallest, and most muscular member of the Trio of Danger.
He has steel-blue-colored fur and wears a red scarf, bandages on both forearms, armbands on both arms, brown pants with a belt, and a pair of light brown boots that are tightened up with three belts each.
Like his brothers, Bergamo's general appearance resembled that of a humanoid canid; in Bergamo's case, he resembles a Grey Wolf.
(Image Here - Bergamo)
Lavender has gold fur with a white muzzle and chest, and he wears green pants with suspenders and sports a slightly sadistic and deranged facial expression, though it is most likely to be fierce.
His build is hunched-over and lanky, with seemingly abnormally long arms.
He seems to be very short, due to the fact that he is almost always slouching; nevertheless, while fighting, it is shown that he is actually roughly the same size as his brothers.
Like his brothers, Lavender's general appearance resembled that of a humanoid canid; in this case, he most closely resembles a Coyote.
(Image Here - Lavender)
Sorrel is a white furred anthropomorphic female rabbit, and she has red eyes, a pink nose, seemingly short height, and it's unknown if she's still in her young years.
She wears a large orange cap that has a long, yellow stripe going down the middle, red scarf, ripped yellow shirt with one brown strap, a black shirt underneath her ripped shirt, brown gloves, and green shorts with an opening for her Tail.
(Image Here - Sorrel)
Lastly, there is Hop, who is a feline humanoid female warrior with dull-purple fur and yellow eyes.
She has long red nails that she uses as weapons, a long dull-purple tail with a bluish-purple tip.
She wears a black crop-top with silver accents, with sleeves ending in arm bracelets with spikes, and a pair of pants with a silver belt with round discs and ending in similar spike ankle bracelets.
(Image Here - Hop)
Seeing himself surrounded, Goku smirks and says in a confident tone, "That's a lot of guys for just me. But stuff like this... ain't bad."
At the same time, I notice that my Digimon Partners have locked on another warrior from the 9th Universe, who is also flying around the fighting stage looking for an opening to attack some unsuspecting warriors, Roselle.
Roselle is a humanoid bat that greatly resembles a gargoyle or winged demon in appearance.
He has green skin and an extra eye on his forehead, which is red in color. He wears beige colored shorts.
(Image Here - Roselle)
I'm not the only one noticing what my Digimon Partners are about to do, as my cute daughter immediately calls out, "Look, Daddy! Stingmon, XV-mon, and Angemon are about to attack that ugly bat!" followed by my sons, Galen and Seiji, who yell.
"Take him out!"
"Yay! Go Digimon!"
The first to make a move is XV-mon, who charges toward the humanoid bat up and rams him from the sky with its shoulder, making him fall toward the floor of the fighting stage, however, Roselle quickly stops himself from falling by flapping his wings.
But because Roselle was too worried about not crashing on the ground, he didn't notice that Stingmon takes advantage of this opening to use his Move Moon Shooter, firing the spikes on its arms, which quickly pierce through his wings, making them useless and thus making Roselle fall from the sky.
Then, as the helpless Roselle screams in despair, Angemon uses his signature move Heaven's Knuckle, gathering Holy Power in its fist and shooting a beam of holy light from it, which hits the falling Roselle, sending him into the abyss, knocking him out of the tournament.
Soon after that, the Grand Minister calmly announces, "The 9th Universe's Roselle-san has dropped out." making the Zenos once more bring up their GodPads before they quickly tap on the symbol rapresenting the 9th Universe, and then on the picture of Roselle turning the picture into a black and white one showing that he has been eliminated from the Tournament of Power.
"Roselle is gone too."
"Angemon got him out."
"Who is going to be the next?"
"So exciting!"
Suddenly, I hear a very loud and annoying laugh coming from the spectators' stand, and with a glance, I see the shady-looking Supreme Kai of the 9th Universe, Roh, as he cackles, "Haaahahaha! Son Goku! You may have survived that, but it's too bad for you! I wanted to offer you my gratitude for this tournament, in full, but I never expected the chance to come so early! Say your prayers! The mightiest warriors of the 9th Universe are about to defeat you!"
Goku immediately engages the warriors in battle, excited to fight them, especially Bergamo, commenting that Bergamo feels the strongest among the warriors surrounding him.
At the same time, Whis, Old Kai, Shin, and Beerus focus their attention on Goku's situation and comment.
"It looks like the 9th Universe is going after Goku-san from the start."
"They must be pretty angry about being suddenly involved in the Tournament of Power. How shortsighted... Goku just gave them the chance to save themselves."
"Why is Goku-san not using Super Saiyan Blue to defeat them all at once?"
"He is pacing himself. Even in its mastered state, Super Saiyan Blue's consumption of stamina is quite intense, so here, in the Tournament of Power, where recovery items such as Senzu Beans are unavailable, he must think about allocating enough strength so he can fight through to the end."
"You don't even know that much? You really need to study more."
"I-I was actually wondering if that was the case too. Hahahaha..."
The two Zeno and even the Grand Minister show interest in Goku going against the Trio of Danger's combination attacks.
"One against three!"
"Goku against the Trio of Dangers!"
""I can't wait!""
"It will be interesting to see whether or not Goku-san alone can break through the other three's siege."
Even Champa is actually focusing on that battle as he chuckles and comments, "Ha-ha! I don't think that Son Goku will be beaten very easily, but without him, the 7th Universe will be down a major chunk of their fighting force! I'm hoping for the best from those three dogs!"
As Bergamo, Lavender, and Basil surround Goku and are about to begin their assault, Old Kai says in a worried tone, "I hope Goku is all right." which makes Beerus reply, "Of course he is. As if Goku could be beaten by those guys!" before he adds, "For that matter, we can't have him be beaten by them!"
After saying that, Beerus stands up and yells, "Goku! You do understand, don't you, that you don't have to defeat them, just push them off! Don't take these nobodies too seriously and use up your strength!"
Shortly after that, Lavender reveals his Poison Blow by blowing his poison into his hands, and relentlessly attacks Goku with his brothers, as Goku desperately dodges Lavender's attacks to avoid being poisoned, knowing about how dangerous it is thanks to the information likely given to him by Goza who like me knows about some of the most tricky opponents thanks to having watched the anime in his previous life.
To counter Lavender's Poison Blow, Goku creates a Ki barrier around himself, having discussed with Goza about how to counter the poison, and is able to attack and defend against it, however, the combined might of the three brothers seems to keep Goku on the defensive.
While Goku continues to exchange moves with the Trio of Dangers, I notice something more interesting happening, more specifically, I notice that Koby is now exchanging blows with Napapa, the Dohyodoru practitioner, who was able to save himself from Basil's attempt at throwing him off a few moments ago.
I'm not the only one who notices this, as my kids quickly cheerfully exclaim.
"Look! It's Kovy!!"
"Go Koby!"
"Don't lose too badly, Koby! Or I'll blast you with a Dragon Breath!!"
Napapa charges toward Koby and launches a flurry of thrusting palm strikes, which move so fast that they project an afterimage of the user possessing multiple arms moving at quite a fast speed despite his bulk and size.
Despite Napapa's relentless assault, Koby is easily able to dodge every single thrusting palm strike by moving a few instant before each palm strike is released, once more showing his mastery of the Observation Haki from the One Piece Universe.
However, Napapa isn't a completely clueless opponent as he is able to keep the pressure on Koby, forcing him to constantly back away and thus slowly forcing him toward the edge of the fighting stage without giving him enough space to change direction or create some distance.
Soon, they reach the edge of the fighting stage, and Koby finds himself without any space to further back off, making Napapa grin confidently.
But right at this moment, Koby also smiles as his Cosmo explodes and as a clear Blue Aura envelopes his body.
At the same time, his fist starts shining and a clear blue orb of water gathers around it, and such a familiar sight makes me smirk while a proud joy explodes in my heart as I hear him yell, "I'll live up to my teacher's expectations! Tidal Wave Punch!!"
Then with a punching motion, Koby launches the water-like orb straight towards Napapa, who, even if taken by surprise by Koby's sudden counterattack he is able to react and catch the water-like orb with a single hand.
The force behind the blow isn't even able to push Napapa back slightly, making him smirk and start to mock Koby, "That's it...? I expecte-"
Then my smile grow wider as I watch Koby's lips move as he whispers, "Boom..." unleashing hundreds of strong delayed impacts, one after another, that interrups and slowly push Napapa back making his feet skid on the floor and as the number and power of the impacts increases, Napapa's feet leave the floor as he is pushed up in the air and soon across the whole fighting stage until the very last delayed impact arrive and unleashes a very powerful shockwave that completely blows Napapa away knocking him out from the fighting stage.
Soon after that, Napapa is transported to the spectator stands next to Rylibeu while the Grand Minister calmly announces, "The 10th Universe's Napapa-san has dropped out." making the Zenos once again bring up their GodPads before they quickly tap on the symbol representing the 10th Universe, and then on the picture of Napapa, turning the picture into a black and white one showing that he has been eliminated from the Tournament of Power.
With 2 warriors already out, the situation for the 10th Universe is already quite bad, however, I'm sure that it is about to worsen as I notice that all the remaining warriors of the 10th Universe are about to engage in battle against very powerful opponents in quick succession.
The first warrior in danger is Dium, a green parrot-like humanoid who has wings instead of human-like arms, purple eyes, and wears a red and yellow hat.
His outfit consists of a white tank top with a red line and a purple and red skirt attached along a black belt and a pair of red shoes.
(Image Here - Dium)
Dium is also flying over the fighting stage, unfortunately, he caught the attention of Cell, who quickly uses his wings to fly behind him and blasts him out of the fighting stage with a decisive point-blank Ki Blast.
At the same time, 4 other warriors of the 10th Universe decided to team up and gang up against a lone and apparently clueless opponent, these are Rubalt, Zircor, Murisam, and Dyrasem.
Rubalt is a muscular humanoid being with reddish skin, black dreadlocks, a brutish face, and two square teeth sticking out from his lower jaw.
He wears a tight, sleeveless blue shirt with black pants, purple shoes, golden armbands, and a red belt with a golden buckle.
(Image Here - Rubalt)
Zircor is a blue-skinned humanoid with white hair and a beard.
His clothing consists of a pair of orange, baggy pants, and a white obi belt sash, he is also barefoot.
(Image Here - Zircor)
Murisam is a humanoid with red skin, black hair, and is dressed like a Muay Thai fighter with blue pants, black fingerless gloves with golden knuckle beads, white, toeless leggings, and a white headband.
(Image Here - Murisam)
Dyrasem looks exactly like a Human-type Earthling with pink skin, blue hair, and green eyes.
He wears a pair of golden bracelets on each wrist, golden earrings, and a thin golden crown with a red jewel on his head.
His outfit consists of a white skinny ballet-like uniform with a large purple ribbon as a belt and blue boots.
(Image Here - Dyrasem)
Unfortunately for them, the lone warrior they chose to surround was Broly, and thus they all got casually knocked out in a few merciless blows by Broly before he gently threw them out of the fighting stage, lowering the number of warriors from the 10th Universe to just 3, making the Zenos exclaim.
"Whoa! They all got knocked out in an instant!"
"Amazing!"
The Grand Minister then announces the names of the eliminated warriors, and the Zenos tap their pictures on their GodPads to mark them as eliminated.
What is even worse is that the three remaining warriors are way to distracted by the sudden elimination of their teammates to notice the threats that are quickly approaching them with the intent of ruthlessly taking advantage of this opening.
The first warrior to fall is Methiop, who has the appearance of a crustacean.
His skin is red, and his hands are webbed between the fingers, demonstrating even more his aquatic adaptation.
(Image Here - Methiop)
While Methiop is shocked by what just happened to his teammates, the ground behind him ripples as one of the three warriors of the 9th Universe, the humanoid axolotl alien Cyenne, emerges from the floor and knocks him out by repetly slamming his head onto the floor with such force that it creates a small crater before he throws the unconscious Methiop out of the fighting stage.
At the same time, the blue-skinned demonic alien Clova also makes his move on another one of the stunned 10th Universe warriors, Obni.
Obni is a humanoid being with green skin and long, white hair who wears a small blue vest-like piece of clothing with a medallion that holds a jewel in the middle, has dark blue dots on his abdomen, and also wears brown pants.
(Image Here - Obni)
Clova uses his Ki to create very fine and solid wires, almost invisible to the naked eye, and clinging them to the arms and legs of the target, before he manipulate their movements at will bending and distorting the limbs in a grotesque and frightening display of sadism and after that, he also casually throws the broken body of Obni out of the fighting stage.
This leaves only Murichim, whose general appearance gives an impression of a warrior monk in Buddhism on the fighting stage.
Murichim's likeness is that of a large and muscular crimson humanoid with a large white robe for clothing, which covers his groin, leaving his legs, arms, head, and body exposed.
He also has 6 dots on his head similar to Krillin's.
(Image Here - Murichim)
But he only lasted a few moments more before the squid-like Peppars appeared in front of him, and with a single, precise punch, he blew him out of the fighting stage, eliminating the very last warrior of the 10th Universe before anyone else could even react to all the previous eliminations.
