The episode preview for Dragon Ball Super‘s 98th episode has hit the Internet, and it shows Goku in a bit of a bind. The Saiyan finds himself assaulted by Universe 9 as its warriors want to get back at the hero. Goku and other Universe 7 fighters like Gohan fought against Universe 9 during earlier exhibition matches, and the battles were tense. Feeling slighted, Universe 9’s wolfish brothers are out for revenge. But, as you can see in the preview above, Goku and Vegeta are ready to take on the opponents.
“Hey it’s me, Goku! The Tournament of Power is chaos from the start. I’m surrounded by enemies,” the preview states. “The Universe 9 guys are focusin’ on attackin’ me on after another! They got no openings for me. But me and Vegeta are gonna settle things with Universe 9! Okay, let’s do this Vegeta!”
The clip shows Goku going head-to-head against Bergamo as the brother lays into the hero, but Vegeta will turn the fight’s odds. Goku and his fellow Saiyan may not get along always, but the pair can always find common ground when it comes to fighting others. So, really, Universe 9 better prepare themselves to get knocked out of the tournament if they aren’t careful.
