Goku Black Ultra Instinct

Okay, let's talk about something that's probably going to get me some serious side-eye from the Dragon Ball fandom. Buckle up, because I'm about to say it: I kind of think Goku Black in Ultra Instinct would be... amazing.

Wait, Hear Me Out!

I know, I know. It sounds crazy. Goku Black, that edgy, evil, alternate reality Goku? Rocking the serene, god-like power of Ultra Instinct? It seems wrong. Like pineapple on pizza wrong. But just think about it for a second.

We've seen Goku struggle with Ultra Instinct. It's a fickle power. He taps into it, loses it, almost gets blown to smithereens. It's a whole thing. But what if someone else wielded it? Someone with a different mindset?

I’m not saying it would be easy or necessarily canon. But picture it. Goku Black, already twisted and obsessed with his warped vision of justice, achieving a state of pure, instinctual power. The possibilities are... terrifyingly cool.

The "Why" Is the Fun Part

How could this even happen? Well, that's where the fun speculation comes in! Maybe Zamasu, being the crafty Supreme Kai that he is, could have somehow manipulated the process. Maybe he found a way to corrupt Ultra Instinct, tainting it with his own brand of righteous fury. Or maybe, just maybe, the Kaio-shin fused with goku has all the innate abilities. Why not Ultra Instinct?

Imagine the visual! Goku’s usual silver-eyed stoicism, but with a menacing smirk. Pink hair subtly flowing like the gods. Instead of fighting to protect, he'd be fighting to obliterate. The antithesis of everything Goku stands for. Pure chaos with godly reflexes. Honestly, that’s some good stuff.

Unpopular Opinion Time

Let's be honest, Dragon Ball loves a good power-up. And while Ultra Instinct is typically reserved for our hero, wouldn't it be amazing to see a villain master it? It would raise the stakes so high. Goku wouldn't just be fighting someone stronger, he'd be fighting a dark reflection of himself with the power of a god.

Okay, I can already hear the arguments. "It wouldn't fit his character!" "It's too overpowered!" "Toriyama would never!" And you know what? You're probably right. But sometimes, it's fun to dream about the "what ifs."

Besides, Dragon Ball is full of surprises. Remember when Frieza got a golden form? Or when Gohan unlocked his potential? Anything is possible! (Maybe.)

The Ultimate Plot Twist?

Think about the narrative implications! Goku facing off against Goku Black with Ultra Instinct. A battle between two sides of the same coin, both wielding the ultimate power. The emotional weight of that fight? Off the charts!

The struggle wouldn't just be physical. It would be a battle of ideologies, a fight for the very soul of Goku. He'd have to confront the darkness within himself, the potential for destruction that exists in even the purest heart.

Plus, let’s admit it, the fight choreography would be insane. Imagine the speed, the power, the sheer spectacle of two Ultra Instinct users going at it. It would break the internet. (Again.)

“Ningen!” Goku Black shouts, dodging an attack at speeds beyond comprehension. “Witness the perfected form of justice!”

So, Am I Crazy?

Maybe. Probably. But a Goku Black with Ultra Instinct is something I really want to see. The visual potential alone makes me giddy. The psychological implications of goku fighting his own twisted self with a godlike power? Mind-blowing.

Even if it's just a fan-fiction dream, I'm holding onto it. A hero's journey is great, but the villain's journey? That is even better! So join me in this potentially insane, probably unpopular, but undeniably awesome vision of a Goku Black gone Ultra Instinct. What's the worst that could happen? (Besides the universe being destroyed, of course.)
