Who wins?
He underrated Vegeta, though. But yeah, pretty much Hit was a greater threat than him.Jiren after he defeated Hit said he defeated every-one that was power-ful so I think most likely going by that Hit was above Vegeta.
Jiren was faster and stronger when he fought Goku and Hit than what he was against Vegeta taking into account that Hit states that the same blows he was receiving from Jiren were as heavy as the ones he used with Goku.Hard to say. By the start of the Tournament of Power, Blue Vegeta reached a level on par with Toppo who matched Kaioken Blue Goku in the Exhibition. Naturally, he should be stronger than Hit was when he fought Dyspo. The tough thing is whether or not Blue Vegeta could fight against Hit (vs. Jiren) but at that point, it'd be fair to compare him to Blue Vegeta at his best. Blue Vegeta as he was against Jiren should be overwhelmingly stronger than Hit. Jiren used more power in Episode 122 than he did against Hit. While Hit was backed into a corner while spamming Time Skip, Blue Vegeta slipped through Jiren's fastest attack and was capable of driving him back. Blue Vegeta should easily be much faster than Hit to the point where Hit can't really do anything against Vegeta.
I know the argument comes from Vegeta's statement "You were faster and stronger against Kakarot!" but contextually, he's just trying to provoke Jiren. Vegeta already claimed that he was the strongest power he's ever encountered and Goku, Whis, Beerus, Belmod, etc. don't even call Jiren's strength into question. Rather, everyone is impressed that Vegeta was driving him back.Jiren was faster and stronger when he fought Goku and Hit than what he was against Vegeta taking into account that Hit states that the same blows he was receiving from Jiren were as heavy as the ones he used with Goku.
I could agree that Vegeta performed better against the weaker Jiren as he also managed to avoid getting eliminated of the tournament while Hit couldn't.
It could go either way, it could be provoking him or him literally talking to him wanting to use that same power, I think it's possible that the Jiren from 122 was stronger than the one in 110 due to Vegeta's statement, he just ain't using his full effort or nowhere near close to that. Also Vegeta could tell that Jiren ain't using his full strength yet.I know the argument comes from Vegeta's statement "You were faster and stronger against Kakarot!" but contextually, he's just trying to provoke Jiren.

It's a weak argument. Whis talks about Vegeta trying to push Jiren harder so that Vegeta could break his limits right before that statement was made. At the beginning of the battle, Jiren was an impenetrable wall for Vegeta. None of his attacks fazed him. When Vegeta bounces back from Jiren's attacks, Jiren calls him "persistent" before initiating his fastest attack. Afterward, Vegeta's attacks actually forced Jiren on the defensive and begin to damage Jiren.It could go either way, it could be provoking him or him literally talking to him wanting to use that same power, I think it's possible that the Jiren from 122 was stronger than the one in 110 due to Vegeta's statement, he just ain't using his full effort or nowhere near close to that.

To be fair, Jiren was always like that, when he wants to be, while it is not the same when he actually tries like when he is dominating Goku and Vegeta together or when he impacted Vegeta with a ki blast which let him on the floor, the narrator also makes the comment that Jiren and the rest of U11 is toying with U7 fighters on top of Belmod stating that his warriors are on other level compared to Beerus' ones. And Because, that's what Jiren is: he takes everyone's attack head on and then shows his overwhelming power.It's a weak argument.

Holding back in effort isn't going to account for that but the argument is still based on a statement being taken out-of-context.
Jiren would just be flexing his power whenever the situation arises.To be fair, Jiren was always like that, when he wants to be, while it is not the same when he actually tries like when he is dominating Goku and Vegeta together or when he impacted Vegeta with a ki blast which let him on the floor, the narrator also makes the comment that Jiren and the rest of U11 is toying with U7 fighters on top of Belmod stating that his warriors are on other level compared to Beerus' ones.

The Vegeta statement can also refer to the fact that he is using less effort than Goku in 122, Jiren didn't expect too much for Vegeta and he used less effort while trying to punch him while Vegeta has also seen his prior attack coming at a faster rate, so it'd be easier for him to predict.
So juding by Jiren's poor personality and taking everyone perfromance at face value using his low passes: Blue Vegeta, Base Toppo, 17 or even weaker characters such as Dyspo or Base Freeza ends up being greater than Kaioken x20 Goku and Hit from 109 - 111. Which tells me that is nothing to go with.
Jiren being greater power ever encountered doesn't mean he is using that power at ever time and at every point, it'd not be the first time in DB that everyone is shocked ans confused without actually having grasp or being able to tell what is going on: Piccolo vs Gero or Vegeta vs Majin Buu comes to mind.Jiren would just be flexing his power whenever the situation arises.
Aside from that, Vegeta's statement could also just be him provoking Jiren which makes sense given the context I provided. Nothing definitively suggests that Jiren was sandbagging when no one was suspicious about Vegeta's ability to force Jiren back.
It doesn't matter. You have yet to prove that he was holding back in effort. "Could have" really isn't good enough.Jiren being greater power ever encountered doesn't mean he is using that power at ever time and at every point, it'd not be the first time in DB that everyone is shocked ans confused without actually having grasp or being able to tell what is going on: Piccolo vs Gero or Vegeta vs Majin Buu comes to mind.
Considering that the narrator voice is definite in most of the cases, it's fair to assume that Jiren even after defeating Vegeta is still toying. After all, he still has recently gained Jiren's esteem and before of that, he didn't considered him a threat unlike Hit.
Jiren could've eliminated him after lefting him in the floor, yet he didn't.
I never said "he could have", he is holding back at effort, which he is doing every time. Where'd you get that from?It doesn't matter. You have yet to prove that he was holding back in effort. "Could have" really isn't good enough.
Jiren prefers to conserve energy and only uses more energy when necessary. That's what Jiren does throughout the entire fight.
Jiren is far from full power. No one is disputing that. How that suggests Jiren is holding back in effort despite using a power that far exceeds Ultra Instinct Omen against Blue opponents is something you have yet to prove. You haven't changed my mind here. The only thing that's required is that Jiren is suppressing his power and unveils more of it as the Saiyans continue to grow stronger. Case in point, the example you provided would prove my case. Jiren evidently powered up after Blue Goku baited him with the landmines. The power he used against Blue Goku was not equivalent to what he used against Kaioken Blue Goku and Blue Evolved Vegeta.I never said "he could have", he is holding back at effort, which he is doing every time.

I already provided evidence to the case: Vegeta came at Jiren and called him "how persistent" which means that he isn't taking him seriously and then he throws punches to Vegeta and far after that is when Vegeta's statement came out to be.
After the fight, Vegeta could tell that Jiren ain't using his full strength still.
Jiren one episode after come from fighting "evenly with Blue Goku to dominate Kaioken Goku and Evolved Vegeta together. So I don't think anyone perfomance can be taken at face value unless having context such as with Hit, that he did indeed consider him a threat.
I'm not discussing on whether you like it or not, just that what you are suggesting is a nonsensical route seeing as Jiren is not a good parameter to be taken seen all the disadvantages he has and how characters from God - Blue lvl can make better things against him than what they can do on weaker characters.Jiren is far from full power.
