'Dragon Ball Super' episode 39 spoilers: Goku finds a way to outmaneuver Hit

Goku's much-awaited battle with Hit continues to heat up in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 39, which is called "A Fully-Developed 'Time-Skip' Counterattack!? Is It Coming!? Goku's New Technique!"

The title of the "Dragon Ball Super" episode hints that Goku has found a way to defy Hit's powerful move and overall has greater chances of defeating the Universe 6 heavyweight than Vegeta, who suffered his loss in the hands of Hit.

Hit must have been too much for Vegeta during his state during the match. He fought three battles before he took on the fighter and had no measure of what his opponent can do. Goku had the luxury of a good rest and a good assessment of Hit's power so he may have a shot.

The promo for "Dragon Ball Super" episode 39 shows Goku, in his Super Saiyan Blue form, giving Hit a beating. He even flashes a smirk, as if taunting his opponent. Hit, on the other hand, is not taking it so well and gnashes his teeth at the idea of being the one getting battered.

This pushes Hit to use his most destructive technique on Goku, the Time-Skip. This move allows Hit to use a vital fraction of a second (0.1 second to be exact) to his advantage. It may be small, but it is enough for Hit to turn the table.

Hit has to be fast enough to better make the most of the time manipulation. Goku, however, refuses to be a prey to the Time-Skip. Vegeta has fallen victim, but he is determined to resist it and in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 39, it looks like he will actually be able to do it.

The Saiyan ends up developing a strong new technique during his battle with Hit and "Dragon Ball Super" viewers will see it in action in the next episode. On top of that, fans will see Goku throw a Kamehame-Ha to Hit, making this episode more exciting.

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 39, "A Fully-Developed 'Time-Skip' Counterattack!? Is It Coming!? Goku's New Technique!" airs April 17 on Fuji TV.
