Following the defeat of one of the Universe 3 fighters, the remaining mecha warriors will need to step up their game to defeat Universe 7 in the next episode of "Dragon Ball Super." It looks like Goku and his friends have enjoyed their long streak of an easy win, although, in episode 121, the situation will become serious as Universe 3 unleashes its secret weapon. With this, Goku will have no choice but no build an unlikely alliance.

In "Dragon Ball Super" episode 121 titled "All-Out War! The Ultimate 4-Way Combination vs Universe 7's Total Offensive!!" will feature a surprising twist as Goku enlists the help of his long-time nemesis, Frieza, in order to defeat the latest Universe 3 threat. Based on the preview for the coming episode, the Universe 7 warriors will have a hard time in taking down Aniraza, a powerful and gigantic mecha fighter that will stop at nothing to eliminate his enemies.

Paparoni boasted in the last episode that Goku has yet to taste the wrath of Universe 3, and in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 121, the team's ultimate weapon, Aniraza, was born. Goku's opponent was created following the fusion of Universe 3's four mecha warriors, which explains Aniraza's unstoppable power. According to Comic Book, Aniraza could be unlike any other fighters that Goku has faced so far in the Tournament of Power, and he even had to call on Frieza to help him defeat the enemy.

Aside from Frieza, the "Dragon Ball Super" episode 121 preview also shows Vegeta lending help to Goku in order to defeat Aniraza. A particular scene in the teaser video reveals the Saiyan Prince launching an attack together with Goku, who is using his Super Saiyan God form. To note, Vegeta usually does not want to fight alongside others, and only time he swallows his pride is when they are confronted with a very powerful enemy.

Other plot rumors suggest that Universe 3 will be the next one to be eliminated from the Tournament of Power, and the Universe 7 fighters will reign victorious once again. Although, the path towards victory will not be easy as Aniraza is a tough opponent to beat. To recall, the giant mecha warrior is the only chance fo Universe 3 for survival, after Android 17 and 18 defeated Viara in episode 120.

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 121 will be released in Japan on December 23rd, which will serve as the anime's last show for 2017 as the next episode will not air on Dec. 31. Instead, episode 122 will be out on Jan. 7 next year.
