Call Goichi “GO1” Kishida Shenron because he is the eternal Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour Champion. The reigning EVO Champion and third-place finisher at last year’s World Tour cemented himself as the strongest saiyan moving into season 3!
This tournament of power featured the culmination of a historic rivalry between Go1 and Fenritti, Tachikawa ascending into top 8 from the last chance qualifier, and upsets like Dominique “SonicFox” McLean losing in groups and the prior Dragon Ball World Tour Champion Ryota “Kazunoko” Inoue falling just outside top 8.

Going all the Way: Goichi’s Grasp on the Game
Go1 was the favorite to win. His perfect game one against Fenritti in Grand Finals is a testament to the skill and dexterity displayed throughout his second season dominance.
Fenritti’s return perfect proved two things. One, this would be a difficult victory for Go1. Two, this would be one of the best sets in the World Tour Finals.
The bracket was ripe for the reset in game five, but Go1 was ready to go home with the title. He'll remain the “strongest man in the world” until new challengers enter the fray in season 3 and possibly push him off his pedestal.
