Dragon Ball Super 7 brings the gathered mortal teams into the Tournament of Power, with entire universes depending on their fighters. VIZ describes the contest beginning here, making this a useful position for readers continuing into the competition itself. It is not a substitute for the preparations in the preceding manga. No television episode handoff is established by the paperback's number.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

The tournament's shared stakes and Goku's chosen interest pull in different directions in VIZ's description. Fighters are being eliminated while he tries to attract Jiren's attention, and Jiren remains uninterested. An opponent who matters enormously to one participant does not have to acknowledge the relationship on those terms. That gives the advertised opening a problem beyond ranking the strongest fighters: Goku's desired encounter takes place inside a competition that threatens entire populations. Seeking that encounter and securing survival are not automatically the same task. The synopsis establishes the mismatch without showing that his pursuit causes any particular elimination.
