Directory: TechniquesSupportive Techniques

Ultra Instinct (身勝手の極意 Migatte no Gokui, lit. Key of Egoism) is a very rare and highly advanced mental state. It is notorious among the Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction for being exceptionally difficult to master, even for gods.[2]

Goku attains a transformation that enables him to use Ultra Instinct during the Tournament of Power.[2]

Overview

Beerus Ultra Instinct

Beerus utilizing Ultra Instinct in the manga

Users can automatically react to any threat without the need to acknowledge it and their body can adapt while in battle on its own. However, this ability is not an absolute guarantee against harm to one's being as shown when Goku managed to bite Whis to escape his hold, possibly due to it being such an obscure attack method.

The first known user of this ability is Whis, who later teaches it to Beerus. Whis often uses this ability against Goku and Vegeta during training, and reveals its existence at around the time of Frieza's revenge. During his demonstration, Whis was able to casually observe the blooming flowers while effortlessly dodging Goku and Vegeta's combined assaults.

In the manga's Zen Exhibition Match, Beerus uses Ultra Instinct against the other Gods of Destruction, enabling him to handle multiple Gods of Destruction simultaneously; however, he is eventually restrained by Mosco due to not having yet perfected the ability.

With the Ultra Instinct "Omen" form, Goku is capable of using the Ultra Instinct ability.

Video Game appearances

Ultra Instinct appears as Ultra Instinct "Omen" Goku's super move in Dragon Ball Heroes.
