Summary
The new Ultra Instinct version of Goku, fueled by his emotions, became his strongest form ever, overwhelming Gas in the fight. This new form completely subverts the concept of absolute calm and a blank mind, using Goku’s emotions as a strength rather than a weakness. While Goku’s new transformation is the strongest form he’s achieved in Dragon Ball, there may still be more powers and forms for him to explore in the future.
A new improved version of Ultra Instinct was launched in 2019 Super Dragon Balland this powerful transformation is possible GokuStrongest form ever. The series has recently moved away from the classic Super Saiyan variations that made its predecessor Dragon Ball Z famous, to focus on the unique divine ki brands of Goku and Vegeta, Ultra Instinct and Ultra Instinct. sublime self. Both Saiyan warriors need to evolve quickly to have a chance against Gas, the strongest warrior in the universe, and it seems Goku has succeeded when he launches a new version of Ultra Instinct that makes Gas tremble in fear.
Ultra Instinct was originally taught to Goku by Whis, an Angel, who explained that the technique separates the consciousness from the body, allowing it to move and fight independently of thoughts and emotions. The angel is constantly in this state, recognized as a truly divine technique, one that can make the user invincible. Goku achieved this transformation during his fight against Jiren due to being up against a wall but has since been unable to control it and has difficulty completely suppressing his emotions. Even after achieving perfect Ultra Instinct, Goku was still unable to maintain that form for long due to the heavy damage his body suffered. During the fight against Gas, both Vegeta’s Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego were seemingly useless against the warrior’s overwhelming power, obtained through wishing with the Dragon Balls, so Goku and Vegeta were forced to overcome. your limits again.
Goku’s ultimate form is fueled by his emotions
In Dragon Ball Super chapter 85, the Saiyan Prince was the first to fight Gas, and his ability to become stronger in his Ultra Ego form the more damage he took seemed to finally have an effect. , but Vegeta collapsed shortly after reaching maximum power. However, in classic Dragon Ball tradition, he gave Goku enough time to prepare, allowing him to contemplate the best way to use Ultra Instinct. Goku finally understood when he realized that he would never be able to use Ultra Instinct like the Angels, which required complete calm and a peaceful heart. So Goku transforms into his own Ultra Instinct form, without his signature silver hair. Instead of being calm, in this state Goku takes advantage of his emotions and turns them into power, eventually overwhelming Gas.
The new Ultra Instinct version of Goku completely overturns the original concept of achieving a state of absolute calm and a blank mind. This is actually a major drawback, as Goku’s power is affected too much by his emotions, this was proven in the fight against Granolah when the accuracy of Ultra Instinct decreased due to a mistake. and Goku’s. However, this new form completely erases this weakness and turns it into a strength: Goku’s emotions become his fuel, allowing him to reach unprecedented levels of power. This transformation was foretold by Goku’s father, Bardock, who unconsciously used it against Gas when the two fought in the past. However, it seems that Ultra Instinct’s other limitation, its limited duration, still exists, as Goku himself said in the chapter.
What new power awaits Goku?
Since this form debuted in chapter 85, it has not appeared again, with the manga instead focusing on the characters on Earth in an adaptation of the plot of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. However, not long after Goku debuted this new form, Frieza appeared and demonstrated his own new power, Black Frieza. Goku will have to master this new form if he wants to stand a chance against this iteration of Frieza, or perhaps even find a step further, like the difference between Ultra Instinct and Ultra Instinct Signs. Truly Supernatural Powers.
While it may seem like Goku is near his peak, the series always finds a way to push past its apparent limits and debut newer and more powerful forms. As long as Goku has powerful opponents to aspire to defeat, he will likely continue to explore new forms, each with its own characteristics and variations. With his newfound relationship with the gods and Angels in Dragon Ball Super, there’s no shortage of powerful beings that can help him reach new frontiers, whether it’s through guidance like Whis or opposition like Frieza.
The true nature of Ultra Instinct and its full power remain unexplored in the series. Maybe the “calm mind” that Whis describes is just a requirement to unlock this power, then each user can develop it in their own way, much like Vegeta’s Ultra Ego is a version of the power His own God of destruction. In any case, since Gas expressed his desire to become the strongest warrior in the universe and Goku’s new Ultra Instinct only makes him stronger than Gas, this new transformation is definitely the strongest form but Goku ever achieved in history Dragon ball.
