The anime world owes almost everything to the Dragon Ball franchise. The series has not only given so much great anime and manga entertainment, but it has also been responsible for helping the anime industry reach the global scale. And part of its credit goes to the Dragon Ball Super anime series.
Written by Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball Super is set in the same universe as Toriyama’s original Dragon Ball manga. It chronicles Son Goku and his friends’ exploits during the ten-year time skip that occurs after Majin Boo is defeated. Goku masters his most powerful form, Ultra Instinct during the Dragon Ball Super anime.
It is not only one of the biggest moments in Dragon Ball history, but the fight between Goku and his opponent Jiren is one of the best fights in anime history. 6 years ago today, the fight was first witnessed and the rest is history. The fight was loved so much by the fans that they are celebrating it even after six years.
Ultra Instinct Goku vs Jiren in Dragon Ball Super
Ultra Instinct is the ultimate technique that breaks down the consciousness from the body, which allows it to move and fight independently of a martial artist’s mental and emotional states. Goku had felt Ultra Instinct’s energy previously, but he used it most against Jiren, and that was the first time he had been able to deal with the character effectively.
Goku’s fight against Jiren has been recorded in history as one of the most important battles the anime world has ever seen. Goku is already considered one of the strongest characters in anime history, and for him to even go past that title meant something else for the character, Dragon Ball fans, and the anime industry in general.
He was honored by Gods as the Ultra Instinct is known as the “State of the Gods” thus marking the epitome Goku reached. Jiren was undoubtedly the strongest character in the tournament of power, but Goku reaching the next level was not anticipated by anyone, not even by Jiren. This was probably the first time, Vegeta, Goku’s rival cheered for him.
Fans Get Excited As Ultra Instinct Goku vs Jiren Completes 6 Years
Being one of the biggest fights in anime history, the battle between Goku and Jiren is still loved by the fans to this day. Today marks its sixth anniversary and fans have been celebrating it on X(Formerly Twitter). @SLOplays shared the news about how six years ago, Ultra Instinct Goku showed Jiren who is the boss.
Dragon Ball fans instantly gathered and expressed their opinions about the fight and how it changed everything. They still couldn’t believe that it had been six years since Akira Toriyama’s masterpiece was animated.

Goku has time and time again proved that he is the strongest character in the Dragon Ball universe and he is ever ready for the next challenge. But none of the other fights would be able to come close to Ultra Instinct Goku beating Jiren as he earned the respect of the Gods and his arch-rival.
