To Each His Own Answer

Ultra Ego's Limit

Gas continues pounding Vegeta, who counters with a hard shot and thanks the Heeter for fueling his power. Gas teleports Vegeta around, slamming him from multiple angles. Goku tries to intervene, but Vegeta tells him to back off, explaining the damage only increases his strength. He urges Goku to figure out his own transformation. Vegeta charges back in while Goku retreats to meditate on a nearby plateau, dropping to base form and erecting a barrier around himself.

Vegeta Falls

Both fighters tire from the brutal exchange until Gas puts Vegeta down with a savage assault. Vegeta staggers back to his feet and sprints at Gas, who desperately guards himself. When he opens his eyes, Vegeta has collapsed in base form, having burned Ultra Ego to total exhaustion. Gas conjures a sword for the kill, but it shatters against a barrier Goku placed around the fallen prince.

True Ultra Instinct

Goku descends with a carefree demeanor and powers up. Gas wonders which form is coming: blue hair, silver, or something new. Goku answers that it is none of those. He transforms into True Ultra Instinct, confusing Gas, who believed the silver-haired form was Goku's ceiling. Goku explains that Perfected Ultra Instinct demands a tranquil heart, but this Sign-based state channels his emotions as fuel. Reminded of Bardock, Gas attacks in a rage and comes off far worse. Goku presses relentlessly, hammering Gas with a Kamehameha. Gas retaliates with a storm of conjured weapons, but Goku dodges, throws one back, and finishes with a crushing kick. Elec berates Gas for his performance and reminds him that the true goal is Frieza. A massive torrent of energy erupts from Gas, who rises with a severely aged appearance.
