The Perfected Ultra Instinct (完（かん）全（ぜん）なる身（み）勝（がっ）手（て）の極（ごく）意（い）, Kanzen-naru Migatte no Goku'i; English TV "Complete Ultra Instinct") is a transformation accessible to Son Gokū, which accompanies Ultra Instinct. Using it, he's regarded as perfecting the state of the ability, and his fighting style is considered godlike.

Appearance

Gokū's complete Ultra Instinct.

Most users of Ultra Instinct, such as Whis, do not display a noticeable difference when using the technique. However, Son Goku and Moro adopt a unique transformation when using it. When the technique fully manifests, Goku's eyes and hair become a distinctive silver coloration. His hair remains raised slightly and his aura remains crystalline—though, in addition to blues and whites, it now sports purple and red hues as well and is noticeably brighter. In the manga, the Hakaishin Beerus notes that any god would recognize this form as the technique Ultra Instinct. This seems to be the case in the anime as well, as Whis and Beerus both recognize it and the Hakaishin from each universe stand to acknowledge Goku's achievement.

Moro's copied completed Ultra Instinct.

This later proves true when Moro obtains Ultra Instinct by copying the abilities of the Angel Merus. After adopting the completed form, Moro's mane turned from brown to silver, and the markings under his eyes became pale, signifying his use of the technique.

Attributes

After abruptly achieving the transformation, Gokū initially couldn't activate it at will, and was the only way to access the Ultra Instinct ability initially. From training, Gokū learned he needed his heart to be calm and tranquil to access the transformation. Merus believed Gokū needed one last push to trigger freely accessing the form, which occurred after witnessing the Angel be erased.

From then, the transformation honed his Ultra Instinct ability, which automatically made his body grow sturdier as a result. When his body became sturdier, attacks that could impale him in his Completed Super Saiyan Blue form were ineffective against this transformation. With the increase in durability came an increase of speed, allowing him to overwhelm both Moro and Jiren.

In the anime, Gokū achieved "perfect Ultra Instinct" (完全なる身勝手の極意, kanzen-naru Migatte no Goku'i; English TV "complete Ultra Instinct") by focusing completely on his fight with Jiren and building up heat within himself throughout the match. He also abandoned the idea of allowing his emotions to rule over him, as they often did in his Super Saiyan transformations, and instead focused on making his heart calm and gentle. Releasing the heat in a galaxy-like disc of energy, Gokū then absorbed it back within himself, allowing him to manifest the completed technique, which granted him a power that surpasses that of a Hakaishin.

Drawbacks

Like his Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Blue transformations, Ultra Instinct was susceptible to Gokū's rage, allowing him yet another explosive increase in power and speed whenever Jiren angered the Saiyan. However, because this explosion of emotion disturbed the calmness of his heart that allowed him to obtain the technique in the first place, Gokū's ability to use Ultra Instinct expired rather painfully shortly thereafter.

In Other Media

Video Games

Ultra Instinct in Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2.

Ultra Instinct Son Gokū appears in Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2, during a cutscene in the DLC Extra Pack 2 Infinite History story mode. If Gokū is the Time Patroller's master and they side with Fyū, Gokū will adopt this form when Fu boost the Future Warrior so they can fight Gokū. The form, however, is not long-lived, as Gokū quickly transforms from Ultra Instinct into the completed state.

Perfected Ultra Instinct would appear in Dragon Ball: The Breakers as a Transphere transformation available to the Survivors.

Creation and Conception

According to an interview, Akira Toriyama designed Ultra Instinct — including its name — as a power-up for Son Gokū that would be distinct from the Super Saiyan form. It was only decided after the flow of the Universe Survival Arc's story had been decided on.

Trivia

• In the anime, Ultra Instinct appears to have a time-limit and is also referred to as the state of the gods (神の領域, kami no ryōiki).
• Gokū refers to the completed form as True Ultra Instinct (真身勝手の極意, Shin Migatte no Goku'i) in the extended minute long preview for DBS129.

• This would later go on to become a name for a separate expansion of Ultra Instinct Omen, referred to as True Ultra Instinct.

• In the anime, whenever Gokū yells while displaying the omen of Ultra Instinct, his voice is accompanied by a double timbre; that of his own voice, and a deep, rumbling affair that most resembles the Great Monkey Transformation.
• According to Granolah, he can't observe any vital points when faced with this transformation.
