"Here goes... ULTRA INSTINCT!"

Overview

Appearance

UI Goku Tori art2

Toriyama's art of Ultra Instinct Goku

This form is essentially identical to the initial state of Ultra Instinct -Sign-, albeit with the user's hair becoming silver in color. The hairstyle is slightly wilder and more solid than normal, having no loose strands. The eyes take on a more stern, defined shape, sporting silver-colored irises and visible pupils. The user gains a complex silver and blue aura consisting of rippling, fire-like energy, complete with sparkling particles.[3] In Toriyama's artwork and Dragon Ball Heroes, the form possess base Goku's normal hair albeit silver.

Usage and Power

In this state, Goku is the strongest he has ever been in history,[1] exceeding the gods themselves.[4]

All of Goku's movements are fully automatic in this form. He was even able to dodge Jiren's punch and counter attack simultaneously in one flowing movement. Once attaining Ultra Instinct, Goku was able to completely negate Jiren's fully powered attack to the point where he not only held it in his hand but disintegrated it with nothing but a flick of his fingers. He was also able to dispel Jiren's Invisible Strikes with a mere flick of his hand.

Ultra Instinct Goku card for Super Dragon Ball Heroes

In the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Extra Story Mode, Goku in the Ultra Instinct form appears as the hidden final boss of the story. It appears when the Elder Kai takes advantage of Goku's fondness of fighting strong opponents and convinces him that Fu would be a worthy opponent. This forces the Future Warrior to step in and engage Goku. After receiving all of the energy Fu has absorbed, the Future Warrior is able to force Goku into Ultra Instinct, that is until the fight was stopped by Chronoa.

Trivia

  • Ultra Instinct was designed by Akira Toriyama, but it underwent several changes in the anime and video game versions. The hair spikes are more sluggish; which is more similar to Ultra Instinct -Sign- while the original design closely resembles Super Saiyan God.[5]
  • The idea of silver hair may have come from the fact that Akira Toriyama originally wanted Super Saiyan Blue to have white hair. However, he decided against it because it would clash with "the next villain".
