According to Comic Book, the fans will witness the biggest surprise in the show's history in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 130. The final battle between Goku and Jiren is about to reach its peak, and only one of these fighters will remain standing. The episode is titled "An Unprecedented Super Showdown!!" which suggests that the focus will be mostly on Goku and Jiren. However, someone from Universe 7 will shock everyone and change the course of the tournament, which is no other than Frieza.

In "Dragon Ball Super" episode 130, Goku will try to defeat Jiren using his perfect Ultra Instinct form. However, the Pride Trooper from Universe 11 may have something else up his sleeve to use against Goku. Based on the spoilers, Jiren will use his full power to match Goku's perfect Ultra Instinct. While the battle is expected to be balanced between the two, Goku will be careless enough to slip out of the ring after Jiren launches his all-out ki blast. 

With this, Goku will be the next one to be eliminated from the Tournament of Power in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 130. Per the tournament's rules, the losing universe will be obliterated by Omni-god Zeno, while the winner will get the chance to make one ultimate wish using the Super Dragon Balls. As Jiren is about to take his prize, Frieza, who has been absent from the past few episodes after seemingly getting eliminated, will appear out of nowhere. The spoilers reveal that Frieza will launch a laser beam on Jiren, incapacitating the latter. At this point, Frieza will be declared as the winner of the Tournament of Power, saving Universe 7 from destruction.

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 130 will air in Japan on March 18.
