Goku's Road to Ultra Instinct

Goku's Road To Ultra Instinct in Dragon Ball Super began all the way back in Dragon Ball. Let's go back and study the roots of Goku's Ultra Instinct Transformation that he discovered during Goku vs Jiren from his masters Whis, Merus, and many before him in this massive 30 plus minute video.

It’s my avi for a reason lmao. Ultra Instinct really is one of Toriyama’s best additions to the series. The technique ties together Goku’s training pre-Z all the way through Super. I also like how it’s still being improved and not just treated as a final form like SSJ4 was. Like whis said, “you may be able to wield it, be that’s not the end goal. You have to hone it and make it your own down to your very base form” EPIC

[@ZAMCRO]

SSJ4 was improved upon in GT. First was the Golden Oozaru, then the SSJ4 transformation, then Full Power SSJ4 and then finally Ultra Full Power SSJ4. It had two improvements from its inception.

I think it's interesting how all of these principles from OG Dragon Ball apply to Ultra Instinct, it's almost like Goku had forgotten what his Masters taught him after fighting pure strength battle-crazed Aliens for so long, if Roshi didnt remind him about all the stuff he learned, he would have never been able to satter his Limits to achieve Ultra Instinct. It's also amazing to see how mere human mortals were able to imitate the concepts of an Angel's technique to Such an extent, as seen with Roshi vs Jiren

[@Napoleonic_S]

Because that's how East Asian martial arts were taught, this video is missing that real world martial arts culture context badly, there are old clips of Bruce Lee explaining the principle of his martial arts that are basically similar... or in other Shounen franchises, you could see similar stuffs there... You can even see similar stuffs in other modern east Asian inspired fictions like kungfu panda or heck, star wars... Watch empires and listen to what Yoda says to luke... The stuff being talked about here is just standard east Asian martial arts philosophy.

[@aaronwatson1432]

This is exactly why I respect the god forms and techniques so much. This video clearly proves just how much the god powers hearken back to the roots of Dragon Ball and martial arts! Yet, Saiyan Scholar and a lot of fans these days constantly trash the god forms and harp on about the "monkey", even though they say that they wish that the series would pay more respect to its roots.

[@Edge2Gaming]

You can tell which ties Toriyama and Toyataro held onto from the beginning of Dragonball and what has been stated throughout the series. Roshi, Korin, Master Mutaito, Kami, etc. As a martial artist I’ve enjoyed those nods to actual martial arts and the training to become a mastet

[@PokemonProfessorNebula]

Another reason why I think he finally was able to tap into UI Omen with the Spirit Bomb was his instinct to just survive at that point. If you ever realize in real life in any situation your instincts will take over any time you are in a sense of high danger and alert. His will to live and win combined with the instinct of feeling immense danger caused him to tap into it.

[@stephenmalvar1169]

If I may add, Goku is in his SSJ Blue form. A super saiyan version of SSJG. By all means, it is similar on how Goku in SSJG absorbed Beerus planetary destroyer attack and was able to survived. The only difference is Goku is in Blue form (but still in god form) did not only survived but also unlocked a new power.

[@roquecruz3851]

Roshi is a prodigy. I’m sure he knew about self movement but was not close to even dream about using it when he trained goku. Just like whiz said, it takes years to master and not even the gods have mastered it. It’s a slow process that can be accomplished by anyone. But ever since the saiyan invasion, warriors stopped to train the basis of self movement and focused on power and speed. Except roshi. That’s why krillin is stronger than roshi but cannot use self movement to the level that roshi does.

[@christopheryanez]

This is one of the biggest reasons why I cannot view GT as seriously as I view Super. Techniques like UI and Vegeta’s UE are just that much more unique and special compared to how they achieved SSJ4. SSJ4 may have a cooler design but it seems almost weightless compared to what Goku and Vegeta can do in UI/UE on top of their long journey to be able to use those godly techniques

[@Saiyangod41205]

Well in super Goku and Vegeta they are going for the power of the gods in gt they were more focused on the Saiyan power control over the golden great ape and the super Saiyan

[@matthewthompson2844]

It's interesting to me that I have never seen an ultra instinct video discuss the Japanese concept of mushin or wuxin in Chinese. Basically it means the mind without mind. It's all about the martial arts concept of moving your body without needing the use of your mind. Since you mentioned the whole Bruce Lee and the be like water thing, That was actually taught to him by one of his teachers named Fook Yeung, You can argue maybe took it from Mushin, But more likely from the five element training. Which come to think about it, Whis uses Wing Chun which is what Bruce Lee studied. All interesting.

[@jvo6ixgod269]

interesting

[@jd55513]

This is why I always preferred the manga events of the TOP. The Toyatoro panel of Gokus master's with their key teachings, all building up to what Whis had said about what would then be known as Migatti no Gokui was amazing! Especially since we know that Toriyama works more closely with Toyatoro then Toei Super anime. You can definitely see it here! Way better than the animes "limit breaking spirit bomb" But yeah, Mushin. However, I also believe it to be a reference to a real life swordsman named Miyamoto Musashi, he founded a Zen Buddhist school of thought, for kenjutsu technique called niten'ichi (二天一, "two heavens as one") or nitōichi (二刀一, "two swords as one") or 'Niten Ichi-ryū' (A Kongen Buddhist Sutra refers to the two heavens as the two guardians of Buddha). All of Son Goku's lessons from his martial arts masters(Roshi, Korin, Popo, Kami, King Kai, Whis, and even Merus, have all led up to his spiritual culmination, the mastery of self movement, Even in the name! Wu/Go (悟) = englightenment, to understand, to perceive Kong/Kuu (空) = (in a Buddhist context) nothingness, void, emptiness, nonexistence, Or "Sunyata" which is a form of buddhist Emptiness Basically it means "Someone who understands the Buddhist concept of Sunyata." Goku being a pure and empty minded being, is the first step in spiritual enlightenment in achieving such a state. Goku's inner aggregates is his selfish desire to fight. He queals this desire to fight (even if temporarily) and that is what allows him to achieve Ultra Instinct.

[@bluesman402]

Exactly and the reference to OG DB whenever Roshi taught Goku about Budo is top tier stuff. Using the concept of taming conquering the self to help Goku ease into UI was amazing.

Your best video imo. In depth, knowledgeable and just a good watch Danny.

[@starblaststudios]

In response to 6:07 , I think the reason Roshi never tought Goku how to use his version of UI in Dragonball, is because it's not something that can be taught. It's only something one can gain through experience. Roshi told Goku to travel around the world to seek out stronger opponents in Dragonball souly for that purpose. It's also set up by Roshi's training for Goku to eat well, sleep well, and fight well. By having Goku's body maintain wellness, it makes the process for Goku learning self movement more effective.

[@SneakyHuntingHT]

Or just lazy writing from the person who obviously did not enjoy having to make the TOP in the manga and wanted it to be over with.

[@dreadrath]

@@SneakyHuntingHT I'll agree that the Roshi vs Jiren things was absurd, though putting that aside I do think its possible Roshi came up with his own inferior version of UI. I just wish he'd demonstrated in on a far weaker opponent than Jiren (But still stronger than Roshi himself) That way it'd have made way more sense and felt far less like lazy writing.

It was destination and friends Goku made along the way that lead him to Ultra Instinct. Also I like Roshi using UI in the Manga was just as good as the Anime.

[@bguest23]

Hey Geekdom, with budding anticipation for the new movie. I was wondering if you can, or have a panel discussion to speak on the plausibility of Gohan and Piccolo possessing God Ki. Or at least how it can be written without a retcon.. If the literal translation of “Kami” is “God” in Japanese, and Piccolo fused with Kami. I feel like the door is open for them to write it in if they chose to. Kind of like what they did with UUB… Also I believe Gohan has God Ki because how you explained it in your “Ultimate Gohan Explained” video. The Elder Kai “unlocked his latent ability on the divine level.” With guru also doing the same in his kid years, I feel that Gohan has been given 2 “God Influenced” transformations… With this said I think it will be cool to maybe explore a theory that Gohan will achieve a higher power in the new movie (maybe with God Ki), and theorize on what direction the writers may take it based on Gohan’s personality (his own variant of a UI or UE). When Gohan sparred with Goku before the Tournament of Power and competed with SSB I raised an eyebrow. There could be a parallel used here for the Androids to once again break Gohan’s limits…. Sorry for the long post. Thanks brother, never put my brain to work like this. Your page made me fall back in luv with Dragonball. Love what your doing, and Happy New Year to ya! 🤟🏽💯

This may have aged well

[@lsnlst1725]

Dan Inosanto tells about discussions had with Bruce Lee. He says that one thing that always marveled at him is the fact that Bruce Lee, in his in-depth study of martial arts and training, researched for, let's say, a state of mind by which to predict the movement of the adversary before he actually did it. I don't know if Toriyama knows about this story, because this story is pretty well known among the ones that applied to Dan Inosanto's derived schools, like NPIAMA, but he took the spirit of Bruce Lee's martial arts.

[@victorcippitelli2242]

@MAID IN HEAVEN FAN 🅥 I don't think so because if we read carefully and in detail the two chapters of the manga where Goku vs Granolah occurs, we realize that Goku was not at 100% capacity when he used the full UI because, before using the silver mode, Goku used the principles of the UI on 3 occasions: once in its base state and the last 2 in God and Blue. In addition to not knowing Granolah's capabilities, Goku used a lot of strength and energy in the fight employing UI on those 3 occasions and by the time he entered the full mode, he was already exhausted. Is not the same case with Moro in the final battle because he was fully healed by Dende and in top condition

This is why I like Omen, it's not some transformation or anything like that, it's merely Goku using his body to it's absolute limit, and going beyond that to truly master UI, yea I hate the silver haired form, but I love Omen, it's true mastery of UI and with Merus training Goku to be able to fully utilize UI in base, it's just that, a base state of being where Goku is the absolute master of Martial Arts at his base.

I've always assumed roshi did keep up his training whenever people weren't necessarily watching him because to even the people in universe his power comes nowhere close to the threats that they were facing even in the early saiyan saga. I don't remember a lot about dragon Ball the early stuff but the earliest I can recall mental training happening is on the way to namek which may imply that they knew it beforehand but I just don't remember cuz it's been years. But if Master roshi has mental training based on how he's scaling himself against his own students and he kept his mind sharp he would definitely push his fighting spirit over his own limitations probably multiple times over with all the things he's seen in his life. So even if he can't physically keep up with everybody else his experience hasn't capped by any means which is just further motivation for how humans can keep up with all the alien races.

I think Roshi probably didn't teached UI to Goku that early because his mind, spirit wasn't ready yet to tap into it, and if he couldn't learn Kaioken without training first with Kami & Popo, it probably wouldn't be right him learn UI has a kid because he hasn't managed to use his mind yet to fight. Plus, Master Roshi just can't teach something like that to Goku knowing his potential and eventuallly surpass him because Goku was very strong when he was little. Awesome video Geekdom!

I cant wait for the anime to come back. I remember watching episode 129 with my roommates in college and it was so hype bro

[@angelsambition2179]

I’ve been waiting for this one 🔥

[@binchilling5768]

Can you make a video about how many martial arts Goku use during his battles from the original serie to Super

[@donnybaker9969]

Definitely one of your best videos man

[@TheoneStanband]

I've been waiting all day for this!

[@earnieb35]

1 hellified explanation n throughout breakdown! U b goin hard on yur wrk n it truly shows!!!

[@jasonhearn5818]

funny how people complain about goku getting that massive power increase in dbs but goku has fought and trained hard his entire life to be the best he can be and he earned that power yet people were perfectly fine with gohan who barely trained easily going ssj2 and his ultimate form and yeah i know he's a power prodigy but that saiyan power is obviously inherited from Goku

[@adhithram]

I think the retcon or addition to UI lore is also to ensure that beerus stays narratively relevant. Think about it, goku should narratively should be stronger than beerus by the end of the top in his ui form but we have got snippets and teasers every arc after the ToP regarding beerus still being stronger. If goku becomes/ is stronger than beerus, there is no use for beerus apart from getting panicked every time goku meets zeno, which is why he is pretty much a shifting goalpost at this point.

Bro am I the only one who sat there for 3 or 4 minutes looking at the thumbnail before starting the video?

Me too 😆 😆

Ultra Instinct is easily one of the best parts of the franchise as a whole. Its genuinely my 2nd favorite Transformation/Ability whatever you wanna call it in the entire franchise and honestly Goku MUI vs Jiren is legendary and should be a spot in everybody's top 5. I can't wait until Goku vs Moro gets animated.

What’s your favorite transformation

[@thomashoughton7392]

@@JoeKing837 it's a tie between SSJ and SSJ2, can't beat the classics

[@0bnoxious12]

Early squad and I knew the training in Dragonball was for ultra instinct especially with korrin and popo
