'Dragon Ball': Goku's New Form Has A Lot To Do With Whis

Thanks Whis
As fans will remember, Whis is the one who stressed how Goku's power was being limited by his thoughts. The attendant told both Goku and Vegeta they could never unlock their full power if they could not battle with their bodies moving without thought. Whis said Beerus is as strong as he is because he has mastered the ability to fight whilst on autopilot essentially.
For Goku, the skill will apparently manifest all at once than by gradual degrees. Previous synopses hinting at Goku's transformation have said he will experience a ki he has never encountered before, so there may be something in the hero's Super Saiyan Blue form that allows Goku to fight on automatic.
Fans will also remember that the original tag-line for Dragon Ball Super's current arc had to do with the god's work becoming complete. If Goku is able to achieve the goal Whis set for him during their training, then the Saiyan will have brought the deity's tutelage full circle.

Goku's new technique sounds insane, and it looks like the hero will need every bit of strength he's got. The new synopsis does confirm the hero gets wiped by Jiren, and the Pride Trooper appears to have already got the whole fighting-without-thought thing down. In past episode, Jiren has been seen dodging debris and attacks in ways which amaze even Goku, so all evidence points to the fighter having already mastered the ability to battle autonomously.
