In Dragon Ball Super, the introduction of Ultra Instinct marked an iconic moment, receiving much praise from fans. This ability is based not only on an increase in strength, but also on flexibility of movement and a mindless spirit, opening up new avenues for Goku’s development.
However, Ultra Instinct also has certain weaknesses.
Ultra Instinct has two main weaknesses. First, the effectiveness of this technique depends greatly on the user’s emotional state.
To activate this ability, it is necessary to maintain a deep calm, becoming vulnerable in stressful or emotionally intense situations. Furthermore, mastering Ultra Instinct is a long and arduous process. This was shown during Goku’s journey in the manga, and even the Angels are continuing to perfect this technique.
Another weakness of Ultra Instinct is its unpredictability, which makes it also risky. If Ultra Instinct cannot be activated at will, then at critical moments in battle, the user will experience failure.
This technique also does not significantly increase physical strength but instead cognitive ability and agility.
Ultra Instinct is something that even the gods of destruction cannot easily achieve. Even though Beerus, the God of Destruction, had learned this technique, he still could not master it. This means that for the average person, achieving and controlling it completely is difficult, let alone being able to perfect its many layers.
Ultra Instinct revives the story of Dragon Ball Super, providing a new perspective on Goku’s development and abilities. This transformation leads to several stages of training, enriching the character’s development and exploring his motives and goals. This ability also allows for a deeper exploration of the concept of Ki Than and the fighting techniques of the gods, adding further complexity to the Dragon Ball universe.
