Goku has always been Dragon Ball's main protagonist, and that didn't change in Super. He was a part of every major thing to happen in the anime, including the Tournament of Power. In fact, he was partially responsible for the giant battle royale taking place.

Surprisingly he wasn't the last man standing at the end of the tournament. However, he did achieve the most eliminations for the Universe 7 team as he took out 16 members of the opposition. His statistics are padded a little because he knocked out a couple of fused individuals, which count as more than one. Yet, there's no denying that he made a significant contribution to the competition. And these are all of the poor souls who felt the wrath of the Saiyan.

7 Nink - Knocked Out By Super Saiyan Blue Transformation

Goku picked up the second elimination of the entire tournament when he got rid of Universes 4's Nink. Yet, the large green warrior deserves a lot of credit for nearly taking down the protagonist before his demise.

Nink trapped the Saiyan in a tight grip and walked him to the edge of the area. His plan was to eliminate himself with Goku in his arms. However, when the two got close to the edge, Earth's hero broke free from his opponent's grip by transforming into his Super Saiyan Blue form. The power-up might've saved Goku, but it spelled doom for Nink, who flew out of the arena.

6 Comfrey And Chappil - Couldn't Handle A Super Saiyan KI Blast

Universe 9 must despise Goku as the Saiyan had a hand in taking out all of their strongest combatants. In Comfrey and Chappil's case, their downfall started when they joined their teammates in assaulting some of the Seventh Universe's best.

The two warriors could compete with base form Goku, but once he turned Super Saiyan, their fate was sealed. All the protagonist had to do was fire a simple KI blast to send both Comfrey and Chappil flying out of the ring.

5 Lavender, Basil, And Bergamo - Lost A Beam Struggle To Two Powerful Saiyans

The Trio of Danger, aka Bergamo, Basil, and Lavender, first appeared in Super during the Zeno Expo, which served as a precursor to the Tournament of Power. As they were known commodities and a strong set of fighters, many would've predicted them to go far in the competition. Yet, pre-existing issues with Universe 7 meant that the wolf-like beings tasted defeat early.

Their elimination came when they got into a beam struggle with Goku and Vegeta. The two mighty Saiyans combined their Kamehameha and Final Flash attacks to over-power the Universe 9 fighters and push them out of bounds. It's unclear how the three actually lived through the colossal energy wave.

4 Kefla (Caulifla And Kale) - Caught By A Surprise Kamehameha

Two of the best characters that Super introduced to the franchise were Caulifla and Kale. Individually, the Universe 6 Saiyans were among the most powerful the series has ever seen. So, when they fused to become Kefla, they became almost unstoppable. Goku went one-on-one with the mighty fused warrior and needed to use his Ultra Instinct Sign state to keep up.

At the end of their fight, the Universe 7 Saiyan showed incredible ingenuity to achieve victory. With a Kamehameha building in his hands, Goku slid over a giant blast from Kefla to get close to her and release his wave. The Divine Kamehameha blasted the sixth Universe contestant out of the ring.

3 Zirloin, Zarbuto, And Rabanra - Their Power Of Love Wasn't Strong Enough To Contain Goku's Signature Attack

Universe 2 was one of the more unusual teams in the tournament as they fought using the power of love. Their positivity was mostly a result of the Kamikaze Fireballs, but Zirloin, Zarbuto, Rabanra also joined in on the fun. The latter three used the power of love to create a 'Pretty Black Hole,' which immobilized Goku as well as Android 17 and 18.

The strange attack started to push the Universe 7 fighters down through the floor of the arena. To save himself and the rest of his team, Goku transformed to Super Saiyan Blue and fired a mighty Kamehameha through the black hole that knocked Zirloin, Zarbuto, and Rabanra out of the ring.

2 Agnilasa (Koitsukai, Pancea, Borareta, And Paparoni) - Victim Of A Combined Attack From Universe 7

The third Universe's team didn't have the most impressive individual fighters in their ranks. Yet, Koitsukai, Pancea, Borareta, and Paparoni used a special technique to merge into one giant warrior named Agnilasa. The new fighter had incredible power and got the upper hand on the best of Universe seven.

The monster wasn't content with just pounding its opponents into submission, though. It also tried to destroy the arena and use its ability to fly to survive elimination. So, it fired a giant ball of energy at the ring. Goku and the rest of his team used some of the strongest beam attacks in the series to hold back the devastating sphere. After Android 17 messed with Agnilasa's power core, Team Universe 7 was able to win the beam struggle and eliminate the giant.

1 Jiren - Dragged Down By Two Mortal Enemies

There were plenty of mighty fighters in the Tournament of Power, but none surpassed the strength of Jiren. In most fights, the Universe 11 warrior barely broke a sweat, even in several of his battles against Goku. However, as always, the Saiyan found a way to overcome the odds and save his universe from extinction.

He didn't beat Jiren alone, though, as he formed an unlikely alliance with Frieza. The two mortal enemies charged at the juggernaut with everything they had left and managed to push him out while sacrificing themselves. By eliminating Jiren, Goku and Frieza earned the victory for Android 17 and Universe 7.
