One of the most appealing concepts in Dragon Ball has to be the numerous transformations Goku and his friends possess. Out of all the different forms our heroes have obtained, the Ultra Instinct has to be one of the most iconic ones, even for people who do not follow the show.
Goku has been training for a long time in order to fully control this power. During his recent fight against Gas, he came closer to his objective by tapping into a new type of Ultra Instinct, which went unnamed for a while. However, this has recently changed, since this new form already has an official name given to it.
Continue reading to learn more about this new transformation and the official name that was recently revealed.

Dragon Ball’s official site named Goku’s most recent Ultra Instinct transformation
How did Goku obtain this new form?
As stated before, Goku was able to master this new technique during his fight against Gas. This powerful enemy made a wish to become the most powerful fighter in the entire universe. Although he had to sacrifice his life force to obtain the said power, he did become the most powerful opponent Goku and Vegeta have ever faced.
At some point during their fight, Vegeta tried to defeat Gas alone using his Ultra Ego form. While fighting, Vegeta mocked Goku for his inability to figure out how to evolve his Ultra Instinct, asking him to go think about it while he handled Gas.
Goku did exactly that, flying away from the battle to mull over Vegeta's words. After Vegeta was defeated by their enemy, Goku stepped in to take his place, but something was different. He was clearly in his Ultra Instinct form, but his hair was still black, not silver.
Goku explained that he discovered a way to stay in Ultra Instinct form without having to control his emotions. The initially assumed invincible Gas was defeated in a matter of seconds thanks to this new power.
How does it work?
The most prominent users of the Ultra Instinct state inside Dragon Ball’s universe are the Angels. Whis has previously stated that in order to use this power, you must have a completely clear mind, free of any emotion.
This is completely out of character for a Saiyan because their emotions are what give them most of their power. For example, to obtain the Super Saiyan transformation, they need to feel rage like never before in their lives.
With this new version of the Ultra Instinct, Goku is able to access the power of his emotions even when he should not be able to. In this new state, he does not need to keep a clear mind, something that has proven very beneficial to him.
What was this new form called?
A few hours ago, Dragon Ball’s official site published a summary of the Granolah Survivor arc up until Chapter 85. It was in this chapter that Goku was able to access this new form.
When talking about this new transformation, the site referred to it as True Ultra Instinct. This could imply that Goku has reached a level where he is not using a copy of the Angel’s version of the Ultra Instinct. This new transformation is his true form when using this power.
As of now, there is no official translation of the article where the name was revealed. Like many other forms, it could have a completely different name when the English translation is released. Nonetheless, this revelation could hint at what the future of Dragon Ball will look like and fans are excited to see what comes next.
