Jiren was undoubtedly the strongest character in the tournament of power, but Goku reaching the next level was not anticipated by anyone, not even by Jiren.

Goku has time and time again proved that he is the strongest character in theDragon Balluniverse and he is ever ready for the next challenge. But none of the other fights would be able to come close to Ultra Instinct Goku beating Jiren as he earned the respect of the Gods and his arch-rival.
