Dragon Ball Super‘s manga is nearing the end of its Tournament of Power as Goku, Vegeta make their stand against Universe 11’s Jiren, the final opponent keeping Universe 7 from total victory.
The manga version of Jiren has been considerably more talkative, and a conversation in the latest chapter sees Vegeta deliver a savage burn as he makes fun of Jiren’s selfish wish.

After finally answering what wish Jiren was fighting for in the Tournament of Power, fans were surprised to see that he wants to revive his fallen master in order to get him to acknowledge his current strength. In the latest chapter, Jiren continues to fight against Ultra Instinct Goku and says that none of them will match his desire for strength.
When Goku is reverted back to his base form and is saved by Vegeta, Vegeta says that he doesn’t know Jiren’s whole back story but his wish is selfish. He then burns Jiren with, “You want to bring your master back to life so they can tell you what a good boy you are? It turns out you’re relying on others more than anyone!”
This naturally frustrates Jiren, and Vegeta says he’s weakened. With this, Goku and Vegeta begin a surprising team-up and will fight to the best of their ability to defeat Jiren within the next three minutes before the Tournament of Power ends.
Vegeta has had a ton of shining moments during the manga’s version of the Tournament of Power, and this is a major difference from the way he was portrayed in the anime. While he fought Jiren in the anime as well, the Vegeta moment here feels far more cutting and a more appropriate reflection of Vegeta’s Saiyan pride.
