Transformation Theories
Anime lovers are no strangers to fan-theories, and the Dragon Ball fandom excels in the area. Dragon Ball Super has hinted at Goku's upcoming transformation for months now, giving fans plenty of time to concoct their own theories about the hero's power-up. The topic is still one that's debated heavily, but two predominant fan-theories are managed to gain traction on the Internet already:
The first theory is that Goku's new form has less to do with an internal power-up and more with a circumstantial boost. Fans know the Saiyan will use a massive Spirit Bomb against Jiren once he realizes his SSB and Kaio-Ken x20 technique don't work on the Universe 11 fighter. Many have speculated Jiren will bounce the Spirit Bomb back at Goku thanks to his pure heart. If the attack is reflected, fan theorize Goku will then absorb the Spirit Bomb's energy into himself and mix with this SSB ki to give him a brand-new transformation.
If Spirit Bombs aren't your thing, then the Dragon Ball Super fandom understands. Plenty of fans have questioned if Goku's new transformation is more closely connected to the Kaio-Ken technique than they have expected. The Saiyan will max out his Kaio-Ken when he battles hit, so the attack will mix with his SSB aura. Audiences are starting to think the two techniques could mix somehow and mutate Goku's ki. If that happens, the Saiyan would just be one emotional trigger away from unlock a new form, and Jiren is more than capable of stressing Goku out.

Goku's latest form pushes his transformation list well into the 20s, and you can read over some over hero's most powerful forms below:
