Goku Ultra Instinct Theory

in #anime7 years ago

Spoiler Alert
If you did not watch the special (episodes 109 and 110) and DO NOT want things SPOILED, STOP READING!!!

First I want to say as a Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z fan this new series Dragon Ball S has been amazing (yes, I didn't place Dragon Ball GT on here on purpose). For those who haven't heard of the series it takes place after Dragon Ball Z in which a God of Destruction looks to destroy earth. To keep things sort of short Goku then becomes Godlike and the God of Destruction disciple (that alone should peek your curiosity to go watch the series).

In this post I really want to dive into what Goku's new form is, how it came about, and where do we think they'll continue to go with it.

Goku Ultra Instinct

This form was previous talked about by Whis and Beerus when training both Goku and Vegeta. They told them in order to be the perfect fighter they would have to continue to stop thinking of their attacks, blocks and dodging and allow their bodies to naturally flow and respond. Neither Vegeta, Goku or any of Whis disciples have been able to achieve this form before.

Fast forward we have the tournament of power which includes 8 different universes (technically 12 but 4 become exempt from participating since they are ruled too powerful). The fight that everyone's been waiting for against Jiren and Goku takes off after many episodes of waiting. Jiren is known for taking his opponent's strongest attacks and then destroying them, the most alpha male complex I've ever seen. Goku then decides to use his "trump card" (which is completely illegal in this tournament by the way because this would be considered outside help by those who loaned him their energy) which is the spirit bomb on Jiren. Jiren allows Goku enough time to form it because he looks forward to the challenge of defeating it. Jiren and Goku continue to push the spirit bomb back and forth between the two before Goku unfortunately loses to the strength of Jiren and is consumed by an imploding spirit bomb.

NOW TO THE GOOD STUFF
I believe Goku reached this new form simply because of his Sayian ability to become stronger after battle. I believe the spirit bomb is a catalyst which is damaging and healing his body at the same time. So his power level continuously is going up in this form. This would explain how he is able to fill the power difference gap between him and Siren so quickly. I also believed this allowed is body enough strength to naturally flow on its own without Goku having to think of each move he makes (ultra instinct). I also believe this theory would explain the heat that surrounds Goku's body that everyone keeps mentioning but doesn't understand. If his body is constantly being damaged and healing at a rapid rate I can see that causing his body temperature to constantly rise because of the amount of friction of both energies working against each other.

I think when Jiren took away that heat it caused Goku's body to stop working in the nature that it was, therefore temporarily stopping Ultra Instinct. We now know that Jiren will face Hit in the next coming episode, and Freiza looks to have some sort of epic epilogue with Goku in where he threatens his life while recovering.

Since Dragon Ball S is NOT a prequel to Dragon Ball GT I do believe we are going to see this form again. I believe they'll allow compare this form to Gohan Mystic where instead of it being a transformation its just a perfected form of being.

Anyway, no one truly understands what's going on or what will happen so these are all theories and thoughts. What do you guys believe this new form is? Where do you think the series is going from here?
