Jiren was one of the best characters introduced in Dragon Ball Super. The Universe 11 warrior was the strongest fighter Universe 7 had to face in the Tournament of Power but he lost the competition thanks to Goku, Frieza, and Android 17's epic team-up against the powerful villain. The anime series didn't reveal what he could have wished if he won the tournament, but the manga version has made some changes with the saga and it finally revealed his wish.
According to Herms98's translation of the manga, Jiren wants to resurrect his master, who was named after "kitchen" and was killed by a demon.
In the anime, Universe 11's God of Destruction Vermoud revealed that when Jiren's master lost to an "evil-doer" and presumed dead, Jiren's fellow fighters lost the motivation to fight back against their enemy, and that's when Jiren realizes he can only rely on his own power to fight that evil.
