Like Episode 129 before it, fans have been especially anxious to see Episode 130 since not only did the series just come back from a one week programming break, the series is also speeding toward the end of the series and the Tournament of Power.

Making matters tougher, Goku has finally mastered Ultra Instinct and by the looks of these new images from Episode 130, Goku really takes this battle into his own hands.

Episode 130 is titled "An Unprecedented Super Showdown!!" and Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump preview of the episode teased its biggest battle yet, "Amidst the greatest clash in history, he finally arrives at the secret. Goku has led the Universe 7 team and survived the "Tournament of Power"!! At last he faces the final supreme clash!!"

The images are not only intense, but also incredibly animated and detailed. It's perfectly suited for the final fight of the Tournament of Power, the final of Goku and Jiren's fights, a fight between a fully powered Goku and Jiren, and the fight to bring the series to a close.

For fans sad about the series ending after Episode 131, it seems there's some hope for closure before the end of the year when the newest Dragon Ball film releases December 14. The film will focus on the Saiyans, the "origins of Goku's power," and potentially the story of the very first Super Saiyan God. Not only does it aim to be the best film in the series, original creator Akira Toriyama will be contributing to the film's script and new character designs.

Dragon Ball Super's "Universal Survival" arc is part of the recent simulcast agreement that sites like Crunchyroll and Funimation have scored. Dragon Ball Super airs on Crunchyroll Saturday evenings at 7:15 p.m. CST. Adult Swim airs the English dub during its Toonami block Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m, and is now available to stream on FunimationNOW and Amazon Video.

If you want to catch up with the English dub, the first 39 episodes of Dragon Ball Super are now available to stream on FunimationNOW, Crunchyroll's VRV service, and available to purchase on Amazon Video as well. The 39 episodes span the full range of what has aired in the North America and covers the "Battle of Gods" arc, "Revival of F" arc, the "Universe 6" arc, and bringing the series right up to the current TV airings of the "Future Trunks" arc.
