Dragon Ball Super may be ending its run soon, but fans are still readily enjoying the Tournament of Power. Episode 124 was a big deal for a number of reasons: a double elimination, a longer return of Golden Freeza, and an impressive bout of skill from Gohan.

But some fans certainly didn’t appreciate how the series eliminated one key character, Gohan, as many were sad to see his incredible run in the tournament come to an end already.

Especially given how he didn’t show up until the last third of the episode:
Halfway mark of the episode and Gohan hasn’t even appeared yet. Are they going to explain why Toppo just lets him go help Freeza? #DragonBallSuper

Regardless, fans are definitely to see how well Gohan performed:
The MVP of tonight’s #DragonBallSuper episode is of course #Gohan ! He needed some serious shine in this arc though. He didn’t get enough.

Fans were also impressed with the fight between Freeza and Dyspo:
By the way, Frieza and the fight between Dypso and Frieza was awesome in this episode. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the Frieza vs. Dypso fight was one of my favorite fights in the Touranment of Power Arc. I don’t care what people say. #DragonBallSuper

But unfortunately, despite the great battle at the center of the episode, fans are definitely feeling the sting of Gohan’s elimination, with some even thinking he had a chance of winning the entire thing:
I THOUGHT GOHAN WAS WINNING THE TOURNAMENT BOYS
