Oh definitely, Goku needing the raw power to fight Jiren is a must for a DB anime. He'll likely get it offscreen too, just like he did for SS1 (manga), SS2 (debateable, depending on how you believe Majinization works), SSG (manga) and SSB. I think he will get it at some point, but after this arc. I know a theory going around is that Vegeta, if or when he gets UI, might be the opposite and be really good at the attacking part and not so much on the defense. He has trouble going into Attack Mode since he still thinks about his attacks. Goku, like Beerus, apparently has yet to 'completely' master it but gotten the 'dodge' part of it down.

This in turn would reset us back to our normal DB-style fights when the next guy stronger than Jiren comes around. I'll caveat this with if someone is just extraordinarily faster than UI Goku is by an extreme margin it's still quite possible for him to get hit, he'll simply try to dodge and just fail. Meaning that if Goku has it activated we'll never see a 'dropped his guard' moment again, since the very nature of UI prevents that from happening. Going off of what Goku has shown it's actually far beyond that and is yet again another transformation/powerup that yields even greater dividends of power than SSB + the Kaioken x20 while ALSO giving him an autododge capability. Whether he's up to where Goku is now with his not-mastered UI or has mastered the attack part of it but not the defense part, or whatever is unknown. Interestingly enough he says not even Beerus has 'completely' mastered it, meaning Beerus has SOME form of it in some capacity. I don't get how exactly that's supposed to work without the brain but it's DB and much weirder things have happened. This would in turn increase your speed, since now your brain isn't even processing it, your body does it independently of your brain.or something. Going JUST by what Whis said and nothing else it initially sounded like your body would just dodge danger on it's own without the user thinking about it. That way, he can still be called upon if the villain is too intense and Goku needs to call on Ultimate Wasted Potential for help.Īlas, this is assuming Super is willing to make such a huge chance and invoke 'Real life writes the story' similar to King Kai's Japanese VA speaking in monotone despite King Kai doing obvious 'shouting panic' scenes. Obviously he'll be able to visit everyone and get some screentime.Īlternately, show he's able to manage his time better by scheduling training sessions with Piccolo. Other than the ToP's obvious fanservice reason for including Gohan, and that he didn't actually do anything except fend off Beerus, fail to realize his lesson against Frieza, opt out of the U6 fight, have no participation in the GBlack fight, this can be his legitimate chance to be written out of the fighting scene instead of tethering like the anime has between Frieza and Black's saga's. (Money is also good once to help out his parents!)'

He doesn't even have to 'be the new Bulma,' he can say 'Bulma needs an extra brain, she's got more projects to work on as of recently, so she asked me to help her out. Not as smart as Bulma perhaps, but I could definitely see him taking the Tech Support role after the ToP is finished. That'd be kind of interesting, having Gohan be the new Bulma thanks to his smarts, but also a solid fighter to boot as well. Maybe even have Gohan start explaining some of this technobabble nonsense to show he's actually achieved something. Hell, he might even have had a seat at the Tournament of Power if things hadn't gone the way they did, or at the very least been at the U6 Tournament.īulma, having been around since the beginning, IMO can also be respectfully shelved much like King Kai has. King Kai's VA retired and now the character has been completely shelved, which is a 180 from how active the character was initially in the early parts of DBS-and a darn shame too, given what Goku's done with his techniques much more recently that would no doubt have the little blue guy swelling up with pride. As a couple others have mentioned this could have some interesting developments moving forward.
