The path to this moment began long ago. Gohan’s Beast transformation, first revealed in the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie, displayed terrifying latent potential. As the multiversal threat of the Celestial Rift Saga escalates, it becomes evident that the Z Fighters must evolve or be annihilated.
Goku, currently residing in Universe 7’s celestial realm after intense training with Whis and Daishinkan, has mastered an even purer form of Ultra Instinct, a tranquil yet unstoppable power. Gohan, now driven by a newfound resolve and burden of responsibility, demands a match with his father to test the limits of his Beast form.
Beast Gohan’s Power Explained: The Apex of Hybrid Saiyan Evolution
Beast Gohan is not a simple power-up. It embodies rage fused with intellect, a raw, primal state that draws from Gohan’s untapped hybrid Saiyan-human lineage. The chapter confirms that Beast Gohan’s Ki output has surpassed Super Saiyan Blue levels by multiple magnitudes.
Gohan’s aura is wild, electric, and violet-hued, resembling the aura of a beast unleashed. Unlike Ultra Instinct, which prioritizes calmness and detachment, Beast Gohan thrives in emotion, making him unpredictable and devastating.
“This power… it’s beyond what I imagined,” Whis remarks in awe during the confrontation.
Ultra Instinct Goku: The Refined God of Battle
Goku’s Ultra Instinct form has reached a new level, True Ultra Instinct, combining his Saiyan battle instincts with the serenity of the angels. He no longer loses himself in detachment but channels emotion with clarity, a flaw that previously limited him.
In Chapter 102, Goku displays unprecedented feats:
-
Dodging time-based attacks
-
Creating energy clones mid-combat
-
Utilizing energy redirection like a celestial mirror
When Gohan charges a Beast Fang Cannon, Goku reflects it with a single flick of his palm, turning the battlefield into a celestial storm.

Round 1: The Clash of Auras
The duel begins with both fighters unleashing their energy. The planet trembles as Whis erects a barrier to protect the multiversal audience of gods. Beast Gohan rushes in with feral speed, catching Goku off-guard with a triple feint combo that nearly lands a critical strike.
Goku retaliates with pressure-point strikes, using Ultra Instinct to predict Gohan’s next ten moves. Gohan, however, adapts mid-fight, proving that he’s not just strong but intelligent.
Round 2: The Philosophy of Power
The chapter takes a narrative pause as Gohan questions Goku’s reliance on divine training. “Are you still fighting for fun, Dad? Or have you found a greater reason?” Goku, momentarily silent, counters with action—his fists answering what words cannot.
They clash in a space-time rupture, creating afterimages that fight independently, a feat previously only achieved by the Angels.
Round 3: The Final Gambit
With both warriors pushed to their limits, Gohan activates Primal Surge, a new technique born of his hybrid DNA, multiplying his physical strength for 60 seconds. Goku answers with Silent Echo, an Ultra Instinct counterstrike that nullifies Ki.
As the techniques collide, the screen goes white, and both fighters drop to their knees. It ends in a draw.
Character Growth: What This Fight Reveals
This battle was not about who is stronger, but what strength means.
-
Gohan proves that his potential is limitless when guided by purpose rather than rage.
-
Goku shows that true mastery is not just about instinct, but a balance between emotion and discipline.
Whis declares this the most balanced battle he has ever witnessed. Beerus, for once, stays silent, perhaps realizing the future of battle may no longer rest with Goku alone.
