Dragon Ball Super: How Powerful Is Goku’s New ‘True Ultra Instinct’ Form?

In Dragon Ball Super Chapter 85, while fighting with Gas, Goku tapped into a new form which we referred to as Saiyan Ultra Instinct form. This form isn’t exactly a full blown new transformation, but in fact, a version of Ultra Instinct itself. However, it is nothing like Autonomous Ultra Instinct which is used by Whis, Grandmaster, and other Angels and Gods of Destruction. This new form is basically the Goku’s Saiyan pride version of Ultra Instinct. If you remember previous Chapters, Bardock unlocked a secret Saiyan power in his battle with Gas which we can refer to as Spirit of Bardock. This spirit is exactly what Goku unlocks and combines it with AUI to create his own version of Ultra Instinct. Well, now we have the official name for the form as revealed by Toei – True Ultra Instinct Form.

Dragon Ball Super: True Ultra Instinct Is Goku’s New Transformation / Form

The official Dragon Ball website took the opportunity to dive into the events of the latest Dragon Ball Super manga chapters and confirmed the new name for Akira Toriyama’s main protagonist. Here’s what they wrote, translated in English:

When Gas was about to finish Vegeta off, Goku rescued him, and then, he manifested Ultra Instinct in his black-haired state! Applying his emotions with Ultra Instinct, Goku had finally awoken the ‘True Ultra Instinct’! This power overwhelmed Gas, ‘the greatest warrior in the universe’ by knocking him to the ground with one mighty blow.

Now, in this form, Goku became the most powerful warrior in the Dragon Ball Super universe for a short time outclassing Vegeta’s Ultra Ego as well as the greatest warrior Gas. But what exactly is this form and how powerful it actually is? First of all, let us talk about the appearance. Goku’s Saiyan Ultra Instinct form isn’t silver-haired like his AUI form, but instead is black-haired just like his base form. So, yeah it seems like this time Goku got no hair dye but actually achieved a meaningful transformation.

Now talking about the nature of this new transformation, according to Goku, it allows him to put his emotions to work and harness those feelings to receive power ups. As opposed to it, Autonomous Ultra Instinct requires abandonment of emotions and a calm mind & soul to achieve the best results. However, this Saiyan Ultra Instinct allows him to use his anger, sadness, and other emotions, and put them to good use.

As for power levels, this new form helped him knock down Gas who seemed quite unbeatable before. That aside, it is more powerful than Goku’s Autonomous Ultra Instinct as well as Vegeta’s Ultra Ego. But of course, Fully Mastered Ultra Instinct which is used by Whis, and the other angels still has no match, and probably will never have a match. That is the ultimate power level a being can achieve in the multiverse and we’d really like to see Goku achieve that level of power someday. It’s funny how these guys are so powerful yet nothing compared to Angels, Grand Minister, Grand Zeno, or even the Gods of Destruction.
