Hello and welcome back all my dragon ball theorist after going in depth about Merus
and his true identity and what that can mean for Goku and his training.
This video I want to go into just what Goku thinks he can learn from Merus.
If you haven't watched my Merus True Identity explained yet, it's worth taking a look at
that to cover some of those unanswered questions and just how Goku
can possibly push threw to the next level.
One main question we have to ask ourselves is with Goku having access to Instant transmission,
why stay at Galactic HQ?
Why not instant transmission to Beerus home-world and ask Whis for training?
Then let them know that both him and Vegeta were defeated by this Moro guy and he is really
tough?
Goku could 100% do that but what he feels he is
doing right now is more important.
Just like Vegeta going to Yardrat feels that is the best decision to further himself, to
defeat Moro.
So in this video we are going to explore just why Goku
thinks training with Merus is the best option and where this will take him in terms of his
next power and final form.
Goku has had some interesting Masters, he learned some great techniques and powers over
the years.
Master Roshi, King Kai and recently Whis.
Each of them increasing his power and abilities to
new heights and helping him see something more.
So who is this guy? and how will he help?
Goku has managed to tap into Ultra Instinct in a desperate situation at the tournament
only after rigorous training, he endured from Whis.
Now it would make sense that Goku would continue where he left off and train again with Whis
who could help him see the world beyond and mastering
this new power right?
However as I mentioned in this desperate situation they are in right now with Moro, he decided
to test Merus power out instead.
In the end he wasn't disappointed and it was clear to Goku now what he must do!
He actually wants Merus to train him!!
You might be thinking that Goku only wants Merus to help him unlock Ultra Instinct?
Well that isn't true.
Yes, he does tell Merus there's one move of mine that I am still trying to master.
It's all about letting the body move on instinct, so it might work against Moro even when he
starts absorbing my energy.
Of course this could be something he maybe thinks would work and perhaps
exhausted and desperate to win like in the tournament, he could again tap into this ability.
However that isn't what Goku is really going for or the main reason he chose Merus to train
him.
The fact is even though Goku couldn't get a sense of Merus true power yet there is one
simple fact that is overlooked in this chapter.
After we get past the issue with Goku who is incredibly
powerful asking Merus for training that is.
Once we realize that Merus has been hiding his true identity, is incredibly powerful
and a talented enough fighter to not just train Goku but help
him achieving new heights.
We can move on to the simple fact that the main reason Goku asked Merus to train him
regardless of power is, Merus seems to know plenty that Goku doesn't.
This one fact alone has intrigued Goku.
He even followed this statement up with firmly asking Merus if he was wrong about him knowing
a lot that he didn't.
We didn't see Merus deny it.
So while Goku of course would like to tap into
the huge benefits of Ultra Instinct again from a fighting perspective, that isn't his
true intentions.
Goku is first and foremost a martial artist and
has been trained that way since day one!
When Goku see's someone who knows a lot that he doesn't, he wants to learn these techniques
and abilities from them regardless of their actual power.
Which is why Vegeta is on Yardrat at the moment.
Goku learned one of his most useful techniques on Yardrat, they aren't that powerful but
Goku chose to stay there training because he knew how
beneficial it was to him advancing as a fighter.
That is always Goku's goal as a martial artist first and increasing his power latter.
He is incredibly curious about anyone that has an
interesting technique or abilities and always has wanted to learn from them.
Goku being humble and teachable, is the reason why he became such a fierce fighter.
There is one other big problem and the elephant in the room we now have to address, and that
is the return of Ultra Instinct.
Or should I say how it likely will never return and be the same as we
know it.
As a fan when the music came on and we knew that Goku tapped into Ultra instinct at the
tournament, who didn't get goose bumps because it was this amazing ability and we knew that
Goku was about to utterly destroy his opponent.
Then when he finally mastered it and changed, even the Gods stood up too see this marvelous
form as it is by far the most powerful version of Goku.
So when he lost it because his body wasn't ready for such a power of the Gods.
We were left disappointed and curious what will be next for Goku's power and next form.
I think both versions of Ultra Instinct are visually stunning.
I somewhat like the Omen version better it kinda reminds me of a natural almost Mystic
Gohan form.
Don't get me wrong I do love the silver haired Goku
too.
Just this form was meant to be temporary.
It wasn't anything that was sustainable, it was the sheer desperation of the tournament
and fear of everything being erased in the Universe
that helped him tap into it for the first time.
Just now we embark on the next version of Ultra Instinct and what Goku will look like.
One thing we have to keep in mind that the true masters of Ultra Instinct and the strongest
fighters in the Universe which are the Angels.
We never see them transform, power up or turn on, Ultra Instinct.
They have all the power they need as you would say in their base form.
Which is why long ago during Vegeta and Goku's training with
Whis when he was talking to the oracle fish.
He says if they don't increase their energy level before they become Super Saiyan, it
will be insignificant even if they do get stronger.
They won't be able to see the world beyond.
Which is why I really hate the terminology of Mastered Ultra Instinct.
Since it was a temporary power up.
However when we realize why it was temporary which goes back to what Whis said.
That Goku's body just wasn't ready for that type of power.
When he was pushed and became stronger with Mastered Ultra Instinct he wasn't able to
maintain it and see the true world beyond.
This world beyond is attaining the type of control and power we see demonstrated by Whis.
No power ups needed to fight stronger opponents.
Just complete control with Ultra Instinct as well.
Will Goku achieve this by training with Merus?
I really look forward to seeing Goku go all out vs Merus in a place where they won't destroy
the training area.
However I think Goku will just start to learn better awareness and some techniques
in fighting from Merus to use against Moro.
It's going to be a long journey for Goku developing his power to see the world beyond in order
to have full use of Ultra Instinct at all times.
Achieving this would be probably something we would see many Arcs down the road and not
the first Arc after the tournament of power.
I think Goku knows this is no easy task and why he is interested
to train with Merus is to see if he can become a better fighter to deal with Moro and not
rely on the ability of Ultra Instinct.
Goku does always love a challenge.
So it is something to look forward to and the journey seems like it is going to be an
awesome one as I really have enjoyed the current direction of the Manga and both Goku and Vegeta
really challenged by an enemy, that is causing them
to go in different directions to achieve new power.
We can guarantee that both of them will get new power however the journey for Goku getting
to this world beyond I don't see happening anytime
soon.
To lose Ultra Instinct then get it right back again wouldn't make much sense, so I believe
they are doing careful foreshadowing now to let
the reader know, it's still on the table and something to be excited about.
Just it's likely to be awhile into the story further down the road.
With that said I do have some thoughts on when
we could see it.
This current Arc with Moro and the mysterious Merus I think could segway perfectly into
a Demon Arc and Fallen Angels.
Something us as fans all have been wanting to see forever!
There is so much to be explored there and it has done
well in the video games, so I think it's only a matter of time that we have a version of
it in the Manga.
This is where Goku would need to have developed his power to finally see the world
beyond that Whis told him about.
Where he has Ultra Instinct but doesn't require this crazy transformation to achieve it.
However there will likely be some visual representation of Goku's Final
form.
I don't think he will just use Super Saiyan Blu and have Ultra Instinct.
I believe we could end up with Goku's appearance being a
combination of the Omen Ultra instinct with some silver hair.
A form that will be his full potential and one that he doesn't have to power up to go
into.
In essence similar to Mystic Gohan but visually much different.
I would love to see a combination of Black and Silver hair and where Goku is just powerful
and relaxed.
Giving us this new Base version of Goku.
Basically as we see the Angels at all times where they can fight any opponent easily in
their normal form.
When we talk about the world beyond and attaining true power without the use of Super saiyan.
It only makes sense that in order to really do this.
You need a new base form to ascend to the heights of the angels.
Until then though, we will just have to see where Goku's training with Merus goes and
if his hunch is right about him.
That he really can learn something to defeat Moro and maybe take at least
one more step towards this world beyond.
Well this is my story of Goku's training and his realization to achieve his final form.
I hope everyone is having an amazing week and let me know what do
you think Goku will achieve by training with Merus?
Is Ultra Instinct going to return and if it does will they take the route that I said
in this video?
