If there was ever a fandom that got into spoilers, it would be the Dragon Ball crew. Over the years, leaks and synopses spoilers have given audiences early previews of Dragon Ball Super, and that has not changed. The anime may be ending this month, but it still has secrets to share.
However, it doesn't look like fans are happy about its final set of spoilers. You can read up on the surprising details below!
Earlier today, social media was hit with a spoiler bomb when leaks of Weekly Shonen Jump went live. The magazine is set to debut its new issue come Friday, but early looks at the magazine revealed some major spoilers about Dragon Ball Super's final episodes.
According to fan-translators, the anime's final episodes will be rushed one. Episode 130 is slated to delve deep into Goku and Jiren's big showdown. The Saiyan will use his mastered Ultra Instinct form against the Pride Trooper, but Jiren will not go down easily. The Pride Trooper will power up once more to fight Goku.
By the time episode 131 comes around, things have taken a turn for Goku. Spoilers reveal the hero gets knocked out of the tournament's arena by Jiren, but that doesn't mean the Pride Trooper wins. At the last moment, Freeza makes a comeback and blasts Jiren with a Death Beam while the stronger fighter is caught unaware.
With these spoilers live, fans were quick to gather and talk over the updates. While plenty are happy with the twist, a fair share of the fandom is a bit disappointed in the ending. Goku will not go out on a high after defeating Jiren in battle. Despite hyping up his new form, the anime will out the Saiyan, and it will fall to Freeza to push Jiren out of the arena's bounds in a last-ditch bid to save Universe 7.
As far as twists go, this one is a predictable one, and the fandom has plenty to say about it. You can check out some of the Internet's top reactions to the Dragon Ball Super surprise in the following slides:
