The original Tournament of Power was a desperate scramble for survival. Universe 7 barely clung to victory, relying on teamwork, luck, and Goku’s last-minute Ultra Instinct awakening. But today? Their roster isn’t just stronger—it’s unfair. With new transformations, allies, and power-ups, a rematch would feel less like a battle and more like a victory parade. Let’s explore why every other universe is already doomed.
Dragon Ball Super The Unbeatable Core Team
Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Broly, and Piccolo have crossed into territory that redefines “overpowered.” Goku’s mastery of True Ultra Instinct lets him move and react flawlessly, even against Gas—a foe who wished to become the universe’s strongest. Vegeta’s Ultra Ego thrives on damage, turning him into a brawler who crushed Granolah, another “strongest warrior” claimant. Worse for opponents? Vegeta now wields Forced Spirit Fission, a technique that dismantles fused fighters, rendering Universe 3’s fusion strategies useless.

Gohan’s Beast Mode is another nightmare. He one-punched Cell Max, an android stronger than Gas, proving he’s on par with Broly—the Legendary Super Saiyan who once overpowered Goku and Vegeta simultaneously. Even Piccolo, the team’s “weakest” member, outclasses most universes. His Orange Piccolo form crushed Gamma 2, an android rivaling Super Saiyan Blue. In the first tournament, Jiren struggled against base Goku. Now, he’d lose to Piccolo.
The Competition Hasn’t Kept Up
Most universes are stuck in the past. Universes 4, 9, and 10 fielded fighters who lost to Master Roshi last time. Unless they’ve secretly trained with Angels, they’re irrelevant. Universe 11 (Jiren’s team) faces a harsh truth: Jiren was once the multiverse’s apex predator, but eight Universe 7 fighters (Goku, Vegeta, Broly, Gohan, Granolah, Gamma 1, Android 17, and Frieza) could now solo him. His teammates, Top and Dyspo, haven’t shown growth to bridge the gap.

Universe 6 is the only glimmer of competition. Their Saiyans—Caulifla, Kale, and Cabba—could unlock Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego with Vados’ training. Hit’s time-skip mastery adds tactical depth. But even Super Saiyan Blue wouldn’t close the gap against Gohan Beast or Broly. Worse, their best fusion (Kefla) would crumble against Vegeta’s Spirit Fission.
Universe 7 Bench Is a Flex
Beerus doesn’t even need his starting lineup to win. His reserves include Granolah, a Cerealian sniper who temporarily outclassed Goku and Vegeta, and Gamma 1, an android built to rival Super Saiyan Blue. Androids 17 and 18 bring infinite energy and battle-tested grit, while Goten and Trunks’ fusion, Gotenks, is a gag character with god-tier power.

Then there’s Pan, Gohan’s daughter, who slapped around Goten as a toddler and later bruised foes stronger than Majin Buu. Uub, Goku’s future apprentice, merges human potential with Kid Buu’s raw power. Even Universe 7’s bench could steamroll most universes’ A-listers.
Power Creep Has Broken the Scale
Dragon Ball’s heroes keep shattering ceilings. Black Frieza now surpasses Angels but remains too volatile to trust. Merus, a former Angel turned mortal, retains reality-bending skills. Majin Buu, infused with the Grand Supreme Kai’s power, is a wildcard with godly potential.

The stakes? Zeno might need to revive erased universes (like Universe 13) or invent new rules to make this fair. Otherwise, the tournament becomes a glorified sparring session.
A second Tournament of Power isn’t a contest—it’s a coronation. Universe 7 growth has left the multiverse in the dust. Unless Zeno bans Saiyans or resets power levels, the result is inevitable. Maybe Goku should fight with one arm tied behind his back to keep things interesting?
