However, Goku has a will that can't be stopped.
In that moment, it kicked into full gear, pushing him to break his shell.
And when he returned to the fighting stage, his body had experienced the 2 hidden triggers.
Ultra Instinct
3 warriors stand before him.
The stakes are getting higher.
Goku wobbles when he stands.
Is he really planning to fight again?
Using all his energy to obtain Ultra Instinct twice has left him lifeless yet again.
But Jiren still remains as Goku's biggest obstacle.
Could this be why he pushes through his weakness?
In the hopes that he can obtain Ultra Instinct once again?
But the sad truth of the matter is Goku doesn't yet know how he got Ultra Instinct in the
first place.
And the only way to save his Universe is to go head to head with Jiren for a second time.
But this time, he must come out the winner.
As Goku prepares himself to fight with all the odds against him as he has many times
before, he wonders to himself how can he rise to Ultra Instinct for a third time?
Because whatever caused it before will cause it again.
Until Goku can uncover the truth of how Ultra Instinct is awakened, he will never be able
to challenge Jiren to a rematch.
And with only 15 minutes left in the Tournament of Power, the clock for Universe 7 is ticking
Before his efforts turn out to be all for nothing.
The only way to prevent that is to bring back the one thing that actually has a chance at
defeating Jiren.
Goku must figure out Ultra Instinct's 2 triggers.
But what Goku doesn't realize yet is that he already knows exactly what they are.
The first trigger is nothing new to Goku.
In fact, he's been dealing with it his whole life.
And it hit him like a punch to the face the day he first discovered a being that blew
the power of his highest level right out of the water.
The god power held within Beerus made Goku's confidence in his Super Saiyan 3 form completely
disappear.
But his body was hiding something that he never would've thought could appear much
later down road.
As he charged at Beerus in what seemed to him as a fun way to test out the power of
a god, Goku found himself jumping back.
You see, Beerus' idea of fun was quite different from Goku's.
Beerus had just decided to attack Goku with something that he was sure Goku couldn't
survive when he noticed Goku retreating back the way he came.
Goku couldn't understand why he had done this.
He had never told himself to.
But Beerus wasn't confused at all.
He thought it was very impressive.
And the reason for this was because Beerus already knew exactly what had just happened.
Goku's body had sensed such danger from Beerus that it instinctively jumped back.
However, Goku still had no idea that in that moment, he had tapped into what was turning
into Ultra Instinct.
But what he did know was this.
There were beings far stronger than him, and he must do something to catch up.
Months later, Goku found himself arriving on Beerus' planet.
He had come to join Vegeta in his training with Whis.
And during their time there, the 2 Saiyans learned a valuable lesson from their new teacher.
Although they didn't realize it had a name until after Goku had already obtained it,
Whis explained exactly what Ultra Instinct is.
He told the 2 naive fighters that the reason their reaction times were so terribly slow
compared to his own was because they were thinking before each action they took.
And the only way to not do this was to trigger each body part to move on it's own.
Or in other words, separate their bodies from their minds.
Although they hadn't learned this ability just yet, Whis' training helped them eventually
reach Super Saiyan Blue.
But even that wasn't enough for Goku.
Always remembering the huge difference between himself and Beerus the first day that they
had met, Goku knew he could still go so much further.
So he continued to train to find more hidden strength inside himself.
And when he went to the planet with no name to battle the fighters of Universe 6, he was
forced to use a new power up that he had secretly found and had been saving for his rematch
with Beerus.
One that would soon cause problems for him.
But eventually would also help him trigger Ultra Instinct.
It was an extremely risky move on Goku's part.
He knew that it could cause him to lose his life.
But the risk had proven itself to be worth it in that moment.
This was the first time Goku successfully topped his Super Saiyan Blue Form with his
Kaioken technique.
Soon after returning home to Universe 7 from the tournament between Beerus and Champa,
Goku found himself in trouble.
He realized he had forgotten to pick up something at the store for Chi-Chi.
And when he tried to turn around to go back and get it, something very strange happened.
His body kept flying forward.
And for the entire rest of the day, Goku's body continued to do things he wasn't telling
it to do.
He went to King Kai looking for some answers.
It turned out that using Kaioken with Super Saiyan Blue vs Hit had been far too much for
his body to handle.
King Kai explained it was a very reckless way for Goku to use his energy.
And he suggested that Goku never do it again.
Because this was triggering his body and his mind to separate.
Something he had heard once before from Whis.
But there was one other problem still left behind from his fight against Hit.
And that was Hit's job.
As an assassin, he wasn't used to holding back his powers.
But using his full strength simply hadn't been allowed in the friendly tournament.
This upset Goku.
How could he get stronger fighting someone who wasn't giving it their all?
There was only one way to get Hit to fight Goku for real.
So Goku stood in his front yard meditating.
Waiting to feel Hit's presence arrive.
He had to keep this matter to himself
And for this reason, his family couldn't understand the strange way that Goku was suddenly
acting.
Was he being paranoid about something?
Goku had secretly hired Hit to come after him.
This would be the only way to truly train himself.
And so he practiced using his senses to the max.
Goku knew that Hit wouldn't deny his job even if he knew who he was going after.
This meant that Goku's life was truly in danger.
And the only way to survive would be to notice Hit before the final attack arrived.
But what Goku didn't realize is that this was really triggering his body to think on
its own.
Just as Whis had described in his training.
Goku was fine-tuning his instincts without even realizing it.
Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore.
Not being able to sense Hit anywhere nearby was starting to drive Goku crazy.
Focusing only on the man who was coming to end his life, Goku walked into the street
with a car coming at him at full speed.
However, Goku hadn't trained his instincts hard enough yet to dodge.
It crashed right into him.
And as Bulma found her way out of her now beat-up car to find Goku standing there confused,
her anger turned up a notch.
But it was about to go even higher.
She swung her hand at Goku as she normally would.
What wasn't normal, however, was how Goku dodged.
Like the time with Beerus, Goku couldn't understand why he was moving out of the way.
The difference between this time with Bulma and the time before it with Beerus proves
Goku's instincts were indeed getting stronger.
With Beerus, Goku's life had been in danger.
But the same wasn't true for the tiny hit from Bulma's hand.
Goku had taught himself the art of moving without thinking to the point that he no longer
needed his life on the line to do it.
However, that didn't mean his body was yet ready to access the same advanced instincts
that Whis had told him about that one day.
But the time for this to happen finally arrived as his body fell into a black hole.
His energy had been completely depleted.
There was nowhere else to go but down.
As with Beerus, his life was at stake.
But unlike back then, his life started to actually slip away.
However, Goku has a will that can't be stopped.
In that moment, it kicked into full gear, pushing him to break his shell.
And when he returned to the fighting stage, his body had experienced the 2 hidden triggers.
Ultra Instinct had been obtained.
Suddenly, Goku was able to dodge every attack that came at him.
But he also was acting very strange.
His usual confident and slightly cocky self were nowhere to be found.
Instead, he was silent as he looked ahead at his hardest opponent yet.
It seemed that Goku was in some sort of daze.
Unfortunately, even Ultra Instinct wasn't enough to win against Jiren.
Goku's new energy powered by the Genki Dama had finally run out completely.
But he was given the chance to fight again as Frieza gave away some energy.
And through fighting with Kale and Caulifla, and especially with their fused form Kefla,
Goku had quickly regained most of his energy back.
But when Goku was knocked close to unconsciousness, it seemed his body hadn't yet caught up
to the immense power that Kefla had.
Unsurprisingly, Goku's will kicked in again.
He found a way to rise back up onto his feet.
Goku would never give up.
Kefla's attack came flying towards him.
And with the little energy he had left, Goku's life was in danger once again.
But somehow, he managed to dodge it.
The 2 triggers had been hit again.
And Ultra Instinct had returned.
In order to access this technique in both of his Tournament of Power battles, Goku had
to use Kaioken on top of Super Saiyan Blue.
And just as King Kai had warned him, this reckless way of using his energy forced a
separation between Goku's mind and body.
The very meaning of what Whis had described Ultra Instinct to be.
This is trigger #1.
What else had happened in both of these battles leading to Ultra Instinct, though?
Trigger #2.
His life had been endangered.
But just as there had been a difference between Beerus' attack and a hit from Bulma, there
was another difference in the fights between Jiren and Kefla that also proved Goku's
instincts had gotten even stronger.
Remember that earlier it was pointed out to you the way Goku acted the first time he obtained
Ultra Instinct vs Jiren.
Compare that to the way he acted when he obtained it vs Kefla.
He was much more himself.
Talking and powering up.
No longer looking like he was in a daze.
His body was still thinking for itself in the same way as his first Ultra Instinct experience.
But now he was able to do it with much less effort.
However, even his victory of eliminating Kefla couldn't keep Goku's massive amount of
energy from seeping out of him as heat.
And now, he's left burnt out again.
When Goku realizes that he must enter a state in which his mind and body have been separated
and also that he needs to put his life back on the line, then he will be able to obtain
Ultra Instinct for a third time.
Then, and only then, will a rematch between Goku Ultra Instinct and Jiren begin.
Or has Goku already figured it all out?
Could this be why he insists on forcing himself to keep pushing against the 3 Universe 2 warriors
that now stand before him?
These are the questions that anger Vegeta as he attempts to obtain Ultra Instinct for
himself.
His anger builds the more punches that he takes.
Maybe this just isn't for him.
Vegeta refuses to let this push him down.
After all, it doesn't take away from the fact that
