Chapter 74 of Dragon Ball Super introduced a new transformation that we finally know the first details of. The ultra-egois the name of the new form released by Vegeta, which surprised everyone because of its special design, but did not completely convince fans due to the somewhat smoky operation.
As Vegeta noted in Chapter 75 of Dragon Ball Super, the ultra ego can only be used when the person in power is in the correct state of mind. Unlike Goku’s Ultra Instinctthat requires a calm heart and the absence of emotions, the ultra ego is based on anger and fighting spirit. Vegeta explains that this transformation can only be achieved when the cravings for blood and victory guide the mind of the user, and unlike Ultra Instinct, this form is not based on dodging blows. but when receivingbecause every time the body withstands a devastating blow, strength and anger build up.
Although it is based on sheer strength and has been shown to be extremely effective in the first phase of the battle with Granolah, However, the ultra ego seems to have two fundamental problems. The first is that the user must take damage both to be unlocked and to power up attacks, and as a result, they risk leaving the body without strength before they should. The second, even bigger, is that at the moment it is not clear where its limit is and what the hidden potential could be.
For example, Goku’s Ultra Instinct is a technique used by the angels, and consequently the Saiyan can use Whis’ training to get stronger. From fighting Jiren to fighting Molo for example, Goku has become extremely strong and capable, and the Ultra Instinct developed accordingly. However, Ultra Ego is an exclusive form of Vegeta.
These limitations make the ultra ego an ineffective transformation, potentially incredible, but sadly very smoky and difficult to train. In the future we will find out if Vegeta will find a way to hone his skills or not, but until then the most reliable form will remain that of Super Saiyan Blue.
