Hello and welcome back all my dragon ball theorist, there is a part of me that wishes
that Ultra Instinct wasn't introduced into Dragon Ball, don't get me wrong it's a cool
concept but it has lead too tons of complications in writing of the story and
the power it holds.
On the bright side of things it is good for me because I can keep making Ultra Instinct
videos clearing up some easy misconceptions and today we
are going to address a big one that I have seen over the years in the comments and even
recently.
This idea that Ultra Instinct means you can't get hit.
That if you have Ultra instinct and fight someone who
doesn't you can just avoid them and never be harmed.
They are no threat to you whatsoever.
Well that is absolutely wrong!
I know exactly where this misconception comes from, it's from the early days of Whis talking
about Ultra Instinct to Goku and Vegeta.
Where he tells them they completely lack speed, that they have to teach
every part of their body to respond on their own.
However it's not and easy task even Beerus sama hasn't mastered it.
If you can overcome it, you can avoid any danger.
This is what we call figuratively speaking.
Whis isn't being literal, he doesn't mean when you master Ultra Instinct you literally
can avoid any danger in the universe.
He just was explaining that it's a state of being that will give you an
advantage to sense danger and react without thinking.
Also you have to keep in mind they were trying to hype up Ultra Instinct at this point so
when it was revealed we would go nuts at this new power.
However as we know Ultra Instinct isn't some end all be all power or form, it's just the
beginning.
There is plenty of ways to grow more powerful beyond Ultra Instinct or take a completely
different route all together.
Which we have currently with Vegeta learning god of destruction techniques and Goku continuing
on with attaining UI in base form.
Their friendly rivalry continuing trying to one up each other
but I have seen people make the comment that what good is God power if Vegeta can't hit
Goku.
Which that question makes no sense to me because there is no reason why Vegeta can't hit Goku.
At the end of the day your actual power and speed make all the
difference, remember Ultra Instinct is just the beginning.
There are many other ways to skin a cat.
We even saw at the Tournament of power Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku get clobbered on a few
occasions after Jiren became enraged and went full power.
Jiren doesn't have Ultra Instinct, he is just really really
fast and extremely powerful.
That is why Jiren was able to hit Goku and even overwhelm him on a few exchanges without
Ultra Instinct.
Which quickly brings me to the next point that we learned in the recent
Manga chapter 71 when Whis was asking what is the decisive difference between us Angels
and you, Goku?
It is not the Halo thingy, we learn that Angels are ALWAYS in the Ultra Instinct state while
you, on the other hand...
Are equating Ultra Instinct to a transformation.
Which it isn't!
Ultra Instinct is a state of being when your heart is calm your body should move on it's
own no matter what form you are in.
So obviously if Goku manages having UI in base form that is good but he still will
lack the power and speed of a transformation.
Super Saiyan Blue is still vastly more powerful than base Goku and the key will be to continue
to get more powerful while being always in the Ultra Instinct state.
That is why he needs to save his silver Transformation for dire situations because it's a more powerful
limit breaking form.
Ultra Instinct alone won't get the job done.
To put it another way lets say Krillin was able to learn Ultra Instinct.
It would suit him well in battle but Krillin is lacking in the power area, even with UI
he would still get stomped by Mystic Gohan.
It's because Gohan is too strong and he will be
able to hit Krillin despite UI.
On a side note I feel like Goku is trying to do what Gohan has already mastered and
that is being super powerful without some transformation and I would love Gohan learn
UI because I feel he is the perfect candidate to wield it properly.
I think the fan base could use some Gohan hype.
At the end of the day in Dragon Ball, power, is still the key ingredient.
The state of Ultra Instinct is good to have in your arsenal but it can't be a substitute
for immense overwhelming power.
I hope that clears up a few things and in another video
I likely will focus on the Ultra Instinct in different forms or just go into a full
power discussion of what really separates characters like the Grand Priest to
everyone else.
I can tell you it isn't Ultra Instinct, it's POWER!
Pure unlimited POWER!!!!!
Hope everyone enjoys these little quickbite videos kinda getting back to my roots and
just focusing on one small thing instead of an in depth discussion.
Don't get me wrong I do love doing a deep dive topic and
have a few planned latter on.
Just also enjoy these quick video that hopefully answer a few comments I see and clear up some
confusion.
Now tell me, do you think Ultra Instinct being introduced into Dragon Ball
was a good thing?
