Dragon Ball fans have been stuck in limbo since the manga’s hiatus after Akira Toriyama passing. With Toyotarou at the helm, the big question is: Will the final saga wrap up with Black Frieza or revive the Tournament of Power? While Black Frieza menace needs resolution, here’s why a Tournament of Power 2 would give Dragon Ball Super the explosive, crowd-pleasing ending it deserves.
Universe 7 vs. The Multiverse Elite: A Power-Level Showdown
Remember how the first Tournament of Power (ToP) blew our minds? Eighty fighters from “lower-tier” universes clashed in a battle royale, with Universe 7 barely scraping by. But here’s the kicker: Universes 1, 5, 8, and 12 sat out because they were too strong.
Universe 7 vs. The Multiverse Elite: A Power-Level Showdown
Fast-forward to today: Goku’s mastered True Ultra Instinct, Vegeta rocking Ultra Ego, and Gohan unlocked Beast Mode. Universe 7 power level has skyrocketed—so why not pit them against the universes that skipped Round 1? Imagine Jiren 2.0 or a God of Destruction-level fighter from Universe 1. The stakes? Proving Universe 7 isn’t just lucky they’re the multiverse’s best.
Why This Works:
- Fresh villains with god-tier abilities.
- Rematches against fan favorites like Kefla and Hit (now even stronger!).
- Universe 7’s growth finally gets the spotlight it deserves.
Universe 7 New Roster: Broly, Gamma 1, and More!
The first ToP had a solid lineup, but let’s be real: Broly wasn’t there. Neither was Gamma 1, the android with a conscience. And what about Future Trunks or adult Goten and Trunks? A second tournament could finally let these characters shine.
Dream Team Alert:
- Gohan Beast vs. Kefla: A Saiyan showdown for the ages.
- Orange Piccolo tossing skyscraper-sized opponents.
- Broly going toe-to-toe with Universe 11 berserkers.
Plus, remember how Buu slept through the first tournament? Let’s see that pink powerhouse in action this time!
Black Frieza as the Ultimate Tournament Villain
Don’t worry—Black Frieza doesn’t have to sit this out. Picture this: Frieza hijacks the tournament, Cell Games-style, to crown himself “God Emperor of the Multiverse.” Maybe he even traps the Zenos and forces universes to fight for their survival.
Black Frieza as the Ultimate Tournament Villain
Twist Ideas:
- Frieza erases losing universes himself.
- A “final boss” round where all teams unite against him.
- A sneak attack mid-tournament, forcing unlikely alliances.
This way, Frieza’s threat looms large without sidelining the ToP’s chaotic fun.
4. Tying in Dragon Ball DAIMA: A Multiverse Crossover
With Dragon Ball DAIMA exploring Goku’s kid-sized adventures, a second ToP could bridge timelines. What if DAIMA’s Demon Realm counts as a new universe? Or characters like Majin Duu join the fray?
Fan Service Wins:
- Goku using DAIMA’s Super Saiyan 4 form (yes, please!).
- Cameos from DAIMA’s cast explaining their absence in Super.
- A Demon Realm vs. Angel realm rivalry.
This isn’t just fan service—it’s a clever way to honor Toriyama’s final work while keeping the lore intact.
5. Why Tournaments Make Perfect Dragon Ball Endings
Let’s face it: Dragon Ball loves tournaments. The original series ended with the 23rd World Tournament. Z wrapped up at the Cell Games. Even GT’s epilogue had a tournament. A ToP finale would continue this tradition, giving every character a moment to shine—not just Goku and Vegeta.
Bonus Perks:
- Closure for underused characters (looking at you, Tien).
- A celebration of Dragon Ball’s growth since 1984.
- Setup for future spin-offs (hello, Universe 1 adventures!).
Final Thoughts: A Tournament of Power 2 Checks All Boxes
Sure, Black Frieza needs his comeuppance but why settle for a basic boss battle when you can have a universe-shaking tournament and Frieza’s downfall? A ToP finale delivers:
- Action: Non-stop fights with jaw-dropping transformations.
- Nostalgia: Throwbacks to classic Dragon Ball endings.
- Legacy: A tribute to Toriyama’s love for martial arts and creativity.
Let’s hope Toyotarou agrees. After all, Dragon Ball deserves a send-off that’s as wild, fun, and over-the-top as its fans.
