Yes, other characters in Dragon Ball can use Ultra Instinct (UI) to varying degrees, including Angels (like Whis) who use it naturally, Gods of Destruction (like Beerus) who can achieve it imperfectly, and other mortals like Master Roshi, who uses a limited, instinctual version, while Goku is the primary mortal to achieve its mastered form.
It is noted by Moro that with the Ultra Instinct he copied from Merus, his abilities are equal to Goku's, later Whis is said to have far greater mastery over the ability than Merus, while the Grand Minister's use of Ultra Instinct is even greater than that of Whis.
The Ultimate Tenkaichi Hero manages to defeat Omega Shenron and collects all seven but is confronted by Ultimate Shenron who attacks them when he is summoned due to Omega Shenron's negative energy. The hero manages to defeat Ultimate Shenron, removing the negative energy from him restoring the Dragon to normal.
It's actually over 8,000 in the Manga, but the Ocean Dub chose to say 9,000 as it more closely matched the mouth movements.
In Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug, after Piccolo transfers his energy to Goku, Goku uses the Kaio-ken x100 to rip a hole through the giant Lord Slug.
The phrase refers to an alteration of the original line spoken in Japanese by the Saiyan character Vegeta, voiced in English by actor Brian Drummond, in the 21st episode of the Ocean Productions English dub.
The rarest Saiyan, according to Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super, is his son Trunks, not because of power, but because he's a unique anomaly born with blue hair, breaking normal Saiyan biology where all are born with black hair. While Broly is the legendary Super Saiyan (a powerful, rare type), Trunks's genetic difference makes him the truly unique and rarest Saiyan individual.
Dragon Ball isn't in the "Big Three" (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach) because the term refers to series that dominated Shonen Jump and the manga market in the early to mid-2000s, a different era from Dragon Ball's peak, which is considered the grandfather or precursor that paved the way for the genre. The Big Three were popular concurrently, whereas Dragon Ball Z finished its run before Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach hit their massive stride together, defining a new generation of shonen dominance.
True Ultra Instinct is an emotionally driven form of Ultra Instinct as well as an enhanced version of Ultra Instinct Sign unique to Goku. Perfected Ultra Instinct is a powerful divine transformation that harnesses the complete power of Autonomous Ultra Instinct.
No, Gotenks is not 100% Saiyan; he's a Hybrid Saiyan, a fusion of two half-Saiyan boys (Goten and Trunks), making him an Earthling-Saiyan hybrid, just like his components, but with doubled potential. He's considered a Hybrid Saiyan because he inherits human DNA from his mothers (Chi-Chi and Bulma), not full Saiyan lineage, which is why he's in the "Hybrid Saiyan" category in games like Dokkan Battle, not "Pure Saiyan".
The kanji 悟 (Go) in Goku's name means "wisdom," "enlightenment," "awareness," or "to perceive," representing his journey of understanding and spiritual growth, derived from the Buddhist concept of awakening to emptiness (空, Kū). He wears this symbol on his gi after intense training, signifying his mastery and connection to Buddhist principles, much like the original Monkey King character.
The way zenkais boosts helped Vegeta raise his power level and defeat multiple opponents on Namek was crazy. Goku, from one zenkai boost, went from a power level of 90,000 to 3,000,000.
Beerus at Full Power (Hakai Ki 100%)
We have yet to see Beerus fight in his full power. Beerus did not hold back during the Exhibition Match against all the gods but him using Ultra Instinct means he didn't tap into his Hakai Ki.
Is Goku worthy enough to lift Thor's hammer, and is Thor worthy to ride the Flying nimbus?? Goku is 100% worthy. Thor potentially later in his story when he's been humbled.
Dragon Ball GT is disliked primarily because it was a non-canon sequel made without creator Akira Toriyama's significant involvement, leading to a weaker story, pacing issues, and poor character development, sidelining fan-favorite characters like Gohan and Vegeta for an annoying kid Goku, with inconsistent plot points and less polished animation compared to DBZ, making it feel like a generic cash-in rather than a true continuation.
Although One Piece and Naruto have established a strong base, Bleach has always been considered the weakest among the three. Tite Kubo's series may be a genre in its own right, but when compared to One Piece and Naruto, it has struggled to build a name for itself.
There's no single "number 1" anime, as popularity shifts, but Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba), and Jujutsu Kaisen consistently rank at the top for recent global and Japanese hits, while long-running classics like One Piece, Detective Conan, and Doraemon remain cultural staples, with Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and The Apothecary Diaries also dominating recent charts.
When Toriyama created the Dragon Ball Super incarnation of Broly, he chose to ignore the Legendary Super Saiyan form's green hair when creating his design, and so Naohiro Shintani decided to add it as a "Full Power" version of the form.
So while Super Saiyan Blue is stronger than Super Saiyan god from the first arc, Super Saiyan god has more potential. It has been said that a user of the form god-like saiyan, if they go Super Saiyan while using the technique, the automatically ascend to Super Saiyan Blue.
Goku's energy being measured at 3,000 kili means that would put his power level at 150,000,000, the same as it was against Frieza, and Goku's base form would be at only 60 kili (3,000,000 BP).
The term meme was introduced in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.
