''"Strength is everything. All is possible with power and power alone."''


==Overview==
The strongest mortal of Universe 11, so powerful that he surpasses many universes' Gods of Destruction. From his dark past of the destruction of his home from an unknown being, he fell on the belief that strength is justice, and that he cannot trust anyone for the sake of maintaining his strength. A member of the Pride Troopers, he encounters Goku and the rest of Universe 7 during the Tournament of Power, where he serves as their most challenging foe and the final obstacle between victory or being erased from existence; through Goku, however, he learns of Universe 7's power of trust, and overcomes the dark past that haunted him for so long. (Name trivia: Jiren's name comes from Japanese word "Renji", meaning "Stove", by switching the syllables.)

Jiren the Gray pummels his way into ''Dragon Ball FighterZ'' as a DLC character. Much like his fighting style in the Tournament Of Power, he has multiple counter-moves that allow him to either start a combo or reset neutral. With moves that allow him to plow through his opponent's offense, as well as ways to deter them from being careless, Jiren can certainly gain control of the game and destroy his opponent if they try to reclaim it.
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
 
| intro = {{Character Label|DBFZ|Jiren}} is a defensive character who controls the flow of the match with his array of counters and anti-neutral tools.

* '''REQUIRES''' solid conditioning and reads to EVER open up the opponent outside of neutral. Jiren's 5H is slower than other command grabs, extremely telegraphed, and lacks armor. Jiren's only low is his 2M, and he has no real cheeky ways to open up opponents even with meter. You must get creative with your staggers, assists and strings in order to get hits when the opponent stops trying to beat you in neutral. Every attempt you make on opening up the opponent carries the risk of getting mashed out due to all of this.

This special exemplifies why people call Jiren the "worst character" in Dragon Ball FighterZ. It's a massive risk, only beats one thing, is easily countered in return, and isn't even a consistent choice. Doesn't give him combos afterwards without suffering both meter loss and scaling thanks to Vanish Attack.

It's a massive risk, only beats one thing, is easily countered in return, and isn't even a consistent choice. Doesn't give him combos afterwards without suffering both meter loss and scaling thanks to Vanish Attack. While it can be useful against certain playstyles or characters, especially since Jiren can somewhat deal with people vanishing out of his followups, sometimes it's just not worth it. It's not terrible for shutting down ki-blast happy opponents like Z Broly, but even then you could probably do better.


Only use this to beat high committal moves like Kamehameha. Be extremely careful, as characters can still use their Level 3s right when they see the freeze which can very well get you [[DBFZ/Goku#Super_Spirit_Bomb| spirit bombed]]. Not worth the risk.

Play-style Defensive, Counter
Team Role Middle

Overview

"Strength is everything. All is possible with power and power alone."

The strongest mortal of Universe 11, so powerful that he surpasses many universes' Gods of Destruction. From his dark past of the destruction of his home from an unknown being, he fell on the belief that strength is justice, and that he cannot trust anyone for the sake of maintaining his strength. A member of the Pride Troopers, he encounters Goku and the rest of Universe 7 during the Tournament of Power, where he serves as their most challenging foe and the final obstacle between victory or being erased from existence; through Goku, however, he learns of Universe 7's power of trust, and overcomes the dark past that haunted him for so long. (Name trivia: Jiren's name comes from Japanese word "Renji", meaning "Stove", by switching the syllables.)


 Jiren  Jiren is a defensive character who controls the flow of the match with his array of counters and anti-neutral tools.

Pros
Cons
  • Obscene damage with 2L or 236S starters.
  • Very large normals with huge hit boxes make for efficient confirms, along with great air projectiles that also give him easy confirms.
  • Decently versatile toolkit gives him numerous ways to approach, including projectile invulnerable moves.
  • Boasts a frame 1 wake-up counter for normals at the cost of a half bar.
  • Combo structure allows for solid synergy with most assists, and damaging confirms from assists.
  • 2H and 2S are amazing anti-airs that help Jiren control the neutral very well, and lets him direct the opponent to whatever corner he chooses.
  • Great assist, as it causes wallbounce which can not only enable longer, stronger combos, but also snap setups. The amount of blockstun the move puts the opponent in doesn't hurt either.
  • REQUIRES solid conditioning and reads to EVER open up the opponent outside of neutral. Jiren's 5H is slower than other command grabs, extremely telegraphed, and lacks armor. Jiren's only low is his 2M, and he has no real cheeky ways to open up opponents even with meter. You must get creative with your staggers, assists and strings in order to get hits when the opponent stops trying to beat you in neutral. Every attempt you make on opening up the opponent carries the risk of getting mashed out due to all of this.
  • Below average buttons on block, which only make those staggers even harder. Only 5L, 5LLL, 236S and 2L are safe, making assists very desirable for him.
  • His counters are horribly inconsistent, and can result in Jiren being left wide open despite actually catching a hit. Likely a bug. He also requires meter to combo off of them.
  • Atypical combo structure makes him difficult for beginners, and requires labbing.


Normal Moves

5L
5L

DBFZ Jiren 5LLL.png
Owari Da
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
5L
  • Decent range
  • Pushes the opponent back considerably

Pairs beautifully with 2L. 2L 5L pushes the opponent just far back enough so most 5Ls will whiff if they try to hit Jiren, enabling safe stagger pressure and very easy counters. Being safe on block is just a bonus.

5LL
  • Lightly launches the opponent
5LLL
  • Projectile
  • [] is on Smash hit.

Easily the coolest looking autocombo ender in the game.

5M
5M

  • Jump-cancelable on hit.
5H

I'm blasting your nuts off and there's nothing you can do
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Slower than average grab.
  • Can only be used once per combo

Useful in corner combos, as you can go straight into 2S and superdash for a followup. Midscreen, you can use 5S and vanish.

It is extremely slow, but you can occasionally catch people with it if they're not expecting it. DO NOT overuse it, as it is easy for your opponent to mash out of it.

Not armored, so be careful throwing this out in strings.

5S
5S
DBFZ Jiren 5S.png
Death Blow mk. 0
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Can destroy other Ki blasts and hit the opponent at the same time
  • Cannot be superdashed through

The closest thing Jiren has to a beam. Being a 5S move, it carries some interesting properties like being able to gatling into Heavies and 2S, as well as being vanish cancelable on whiff.

2L
2L
DBFZ Jiren 2L.png
Standalone Broly 5LL
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Scales like a medium attack, making it a powerful starter
  • Chains out of 5LL

This is what dreams are made of. The ultimate stagger pressure tool and ToD starter. It also makes the screen shake.

2M
2M

RICH BLONDE SWEEP
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Jiren's only low.
  • Very slow.
  • Easily half screen range.
2H

Bounce 'em off the other wall
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Counts as grounded.
  • Uses up Jiren's Smash.
  • Launches higher with more hitstun if Smash hasn't been used.
  • Causes a wallbounce behind Jiren.

An interesting 2H that only really sees use if you're in the corner. It bounces the opponent off the wall behind Jiren, causing a sideswitch.

2S
2S
DBFZ Jiren 2S.png
The other 2H
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Uses up Jiren's Smash.
  • Launches higher with more hitstun if Smash hasn't been used.
  • Reflects weak projectiles
  • Always wallbounces in the corner

Even though this move's input is 2S, it functions like every other character's 2H: an attribute invincible anti-air. However, Jiren's 2S has armor instead of invincibility, so your enemy has to deal with the humiliation of seeing freeze frames of them bouncing off of Jiren's chest before being launched to the moon. This move is also Jiren's primary grounded way of comboing into superdash post-smash use (I.E. after 5H).

6M
6M Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Counts as airborne.
  • Uses the same hitboxes and hurtboxes of Jiren's j.H.

Jiren's low threat is pretty lacking so you most likely won't be using this much.

j.L
j.L

  • Double-jump-cancelable.

Useful combo extention tool in the corner after j.2S.

  • [] is on Smash hit.
  • Knockdown state changes depending on Jiren's usage of his Smash.
  • Autocombo version wallbounces in the corner and provides one random Dragon Ball.
j.S

Air-to-air fireball and COMBO EXTENDER, BABY!
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Causes a light wallbounce
  • High untech time
  • Can be used immediately off the ground as a standard Ki Blast instead of 5S
j.2H
j.2H
DBFZ Jiren j2H.png
Spin to Win
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • [] is on fully charged.
  • Charged, causes a sliding knockdown.
  • Uncharged, only cause a sliding knockdown if it hits early.
j.2S
j.2S
DBFZ Jiren j2S.png
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Groundbounces
  • Combos into fully charged j.2H in the corner
  • One of Jiren's best tools, as it can lead to full combos easily with assists
  • Can end combos relatively close to the ground with this & convert into Level 1 mid-screen

Special Moves

Infinity Rush

236L/M/H (Air OK)

*Inevitability intensifies*
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
Ground L
Air L

Because of it's disjointed hitbox, the air version can be used to prevent superdashes after j.S/j.2S.

Ground M
Air M
  • Wallbounces
Ground H
Air H
  • Launches the opponent
  • Covers a longer distance
  • Ground version combos into 5H in the corner
  • Air version groundbounces; so long as Jiren doesn't touch the ground upon connecting with this version, j.H causes a sliding knockdown.

Mostly blockstring or combo filler. Notable for being Jiren's only special that gives him a true blockstring, but it's unsafe.

"PREDICTABO"
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
L
  • Stands and counters all physical hits. Highs, lows, whatever.
M
  • Crouches, and counters only Low attacks.

Extremely risky and best avoided in most scenarios, but it thankfully has low recovery.

H
  • Stands and counters all non-projectile normals.
  • Frame 1
  • Combos from this will deal only recoverable blue health damage, meaning a quick spark or tag will quickly undo any damage done.

This is your go-to panic button. If you have the meter, it's a great tool to try and save Jiren. Not ideal otherwise as the blue health penalty is very harsh.

  • Jiren prepares for a counter-attack. When hit with a physical non-super attack, Jiren will freeze and spin the opponent into the air with a judo throw. The opponent cannot escape.
  • Cannot be comboed after. Requires Vanish or Meter to do any real damage from this.
  • Jiren will not counterattack if the opponent is currently armored. This can result in Jiren being left wide open for punishment despite successfully parrying.
  • Will not counter projectiles or grabs.

Jiren's staple counter. Overall, it's extremely risky and has very low reward without meter. You should really only use this as an attempt at escaping pressure. Any normal would do a better job of countering and punishing the opponent's mistakes than this.

Grand Charge

236S
DBFZ Jiren GrandCharge.png
Shades of Juggernaut
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Invulnerable to projectiles while the barrier is up
  • However, the projectile barrier runs out a few frames before Jiren recovers, so if your opponent is spamming ki blasts they will catch you
  • Safe on block.
  • Ridiculously high damage combo filler

This move is too slow to use effectively in neutral, but it functions as a devastating frametrap in blockstring. You get a massive combo if it trades and it jails into vanish.

Counter Impact
Counter Impact
214S
DBFZ Jiren CounterImpact1.png
"I'm waiting!"
DBFZ Jiren CounterImpact2.png
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ

Probably the worst special move in the entire game. Far too risky and inconsistent to justify its low reward.

  • Counter attack that works against projectiles and assists. Loses to everything else.
  • Hold the button to extend the parry duration.
  • Jiren teleports to the opponent's location on a successful counter, even if the opponent is airborne. This often results in Jiren getting blasted in the face.
  • There are several special moves that consistently and cleanly beat Jiren on a successful parry. DPs are one such example, but Janemba's teleport and even superdash will evade the counter and get Jiren punished for making the right call. Even assists that are already out can beat Jiren if they're lingering hitboxes, such as beam assists.
  • Jiren CAN counter Z-Assists with this, which can catch opponents off guard, but they might be even more ready to prepare with a reversal. Even if they're just standing still, they can simply buffer jump and not get hit by the grab.
  • Attack comes out on Frame 5 after Jiren teleports, meaning the opponent can also vanish or input a quick special move to get them out of danger. If the opponent vanishes/does not get hit by the grab, however, Jiren can also vanish - though he does not get any followup off of this.
  • Cannot be comboed after without meter, and the damage by its self is quite mediocre for such a huge risk.
  • Rather generously has an incredibly obvious freeze to inform the opponent that you just parried them, so they'll immediately buffer a DP.
  • Terrible. Don't bother unless you're catching a beam fired by someone not named Gogeta. You are more likely to be punished on a successful parry than turn the tides of the battle.

This special exemplifies why people call Jiren the "worst character" in Dragon Ball FighterZ. It's a massive risk, only beats one thing, is easily countered in return, and isn't even a consistent choice. Doesn't give him combos afterwards without suffering both meter loss and scaling thanks to Vanish Attack. While it can be useful against certain playstyles or characters, especially since Jiren can somewhat deal with people vanishing out of his followups, sometimes it's just not worth it. It's not terrible for shutting down ki-blast happy opponents like Z Broly, but even then you could probably do better.

Only use this to beat high committal moves like Kamehameha, or against ki-blast happy opponents like Z Broly (but even then, be careful). Be extremely careful, as characters can still use their Level 3s right when they see the freeze which can very well get you spirit bombed. Not worth the risk.

Z Assists

Yamcha Assist ver. Beta
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Causes a wallbounce
  • Siginficant blockstun

Jiren's assist is comparable to Kid Buu's. It has really good blockstun, but it is hard to use in midscreen combos due to the height and untechable time of the wallbounce. (As of ver 1.21 the wallbounce now acts similar to gogeta and is easier to use midscreen)

  • Costs 1 Ki Gauge
  • If used on the ground/as a DHC, sets up an IAD safejump that beats 2H
  • Minimum damage: 74*11 (814)

All things accounted for, this is a pretty good super. Too bad it's overshadowed by its H+S counterpart.

  • Results in a hard knockdown on hit.
  • Minimum Damage: 400*2, 989 (1789)
  • Deceptive range, explosion and red smear all are hitboxes that lead to full connect. This means that it has a small hitbox behind Jiren as well, which also connects.
