Jiren is about to return in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 116 titled "The Signs of a Comeback! Ultra Instinct's Huge Explosion!!" After being away while the Tournament of Power is ongoing, the Pride Trooper is now awake from his meditation and ready to face his enemies.

Goku will test his Ultra Instinct power while battling the Super Saiyan form of Kefla, the Potara fusion of Kale and Caulifla. As Vegeta watches the fight, another one will silently know what is happening. In the animated series' trailer, Jiren can be seen opening his eyes as Goku exerts all his efforts to power up his special abilities.

The Pride of Universe 11 is known for keeping his mind clear. But with the level of power Goku has been displaying, he just cannot simply ignore it. According to Comic Book, "Dragon Ball Super" has been hinting the return of Jiren.

According to episode 116's official synopsis, Jiren will stop his meditation when his interest in Goku's latest battle grows. However, there is a big possibility that he will not be an active fighter for a long while. In fact, the show's future episodes never mention his name, so he may be going back meditating when Goku ends his Ultra Instinct form.

Meanwhile, in the latest episode of "Dragon Ball Super," Goku had a hard time taking Kefla down. The character fusion of Kale and Caulifla managed to dominate his power, thus he was not able to fight back. The consent of Potara fusion made Beerus angry. He even believed that Champa and the Universe 6 should get disqualified for letting that happen.

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 116 titled "The Signs of a Comeback! Ultra Instinct's Huge Explosion!!" will air on Saturday, Nov. 18, at 7:15 p.m. EST on Crunchyroll. The English dub, on the other hand, will air on Saturday, Nov. 18, at 11 p.m. EST on Adult Swim.
