Story Development

Vegeta remembering

This installment marked the Elimination of Vegeta from the Tournament of Power. As of now, there are only 3 fighters on the Stage, Goku, Jiren and Frieza(Still disappeared but not eliminated). This one also marked the 3rd and probably the final time Ultra Instinct Transformation will be achieved by Goku before the series hiatus.

Episode Synopsis

Part 1

After Android 17's sacrifice, Goku is mourning his loss. While Jiren says that no matter how many weaklings "He" gathers around himself, He can't win. Goku doesn't have enough power to even stand. But Vegeta stands up and decides to continue fighting Jiren. But Vegeta doesn't even have enough power to go SSJ, so he decides to fight in his base form. Much to Jiren ridiculing him for it.
Vegeta tries punching Jiren but to no avail. Jiren attacks and sends Vegeta to the edge. He remembers his promise to Cabba, remembers Bulma, Trunks, and Bulla. Vegeta struggles and gets back up to his feet while mocking Jiren that his attacks tickled. They continue fighting but Vegeta's pride doesn't let him back down even when Jiren's punches start to feel heavy.

Unconscious Vegeta hears Bulma's voice telling him to get up and asking what is he doing? Vegeta says to let him sleep a little before he starts getting back up. Jiren asks, what is driving Vegeta?

Overall

Goku vs Jiren
End Begins

Dragon Ball Super Episode 128  was a Great episode. Vegeta looked amazing despite going down and Ultra Instinct is back again. That is always a great spectacle. I would have still liked to see Vegeta stay in for a few more episodes but guess that ain't happening. The Punch Goku gave to Jiren was phenomenal. And in the Next episode, which will air on March 4, 2018, We will finally see Ultra Instinct Mastered.
