Yes, that is right. If you suspected Ultra Instinct was more than we thought, you were right. The power source isn’t the same for all, and there are varying levels of how it is used. Currently, Goku is using Ultra Instinct in the most inefficient way, and Whis wants to train Goku out of the habit.
Whis says if Gokuโs heart/mind were stable, his body could move on its own regardless of his form. If Goku can manage UI in his regular state, itโll take care of his stamina problem. Then he can save the transformed version of UI as a trump card. pic.twitter.com/NLRO0ywvyR

According to the sneak-peek, Dragon Ball Super chapter 71 explains a bit more about Ultra Instinct and its origins with the angels. Whis goes so far as to explain he and all angels use Ultra Instinct all the time. They don’t have to make a conscious effort to form change for the power. Goku must do that, and Whis says that strategy is bunk in the long term.
After all, Goku’s stamina is sapped something fierce by his Ultra Instinct form. Whis is the first to tell that to Goku, and he says updating his form will fix that issue. If Goku doesn’t have to expend huge energy to bring out Ultra Instinct, he can reserve that for battling instead. As you can imagine, Goku is all about this plan, and he is game to train towards the goal. And like you might have guessed, Whis will be the angel overseeing the training venture.
What do you think of Goku’s next goal? Do you think Whis will get the Saiyan to this new level? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB.
