Can Ultra Instinct be used on top of other transformations, like Super Saiyan Blue Ultra Instinct?


Ultra Instinct is sometimes refered as a transformation and sometimes as a
technique/state. Now apparently there are thousands of fans who believes Ultra
Instinct can be used on top of another transformation, just like kaioken can
be used on top of Super Saiyan Blue and make Super Saiyan Blue kaioken, they
believe you can have a Super Saiyan Blue Ultra Instinct or a Super Saiyan God
Ultra Instinct.

Personally I dont believe this is possible, but there are thousands who thinks
so and this situation already has consequences in the Dragon Ball fandom, for
example there is a videogame mod of Dragon Ball Xenoverse which allows you to
use "Goku Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken"

and there are also fan arts made about it like this one,

Are all these people just wrong or is there any hint/explanation in Dragon
Ball Super that states this is possible?




There is an answer for this in the last manga chapter (#72) and in manga (#73)

This is an interesting question, however, as of now I think the answer would
be a no, with regard to stacking it up on top of SSJB

In the anime, The UI transformation was indicated to be a massive power
multiplier, even a lot stronger than SSJB+Kaioken*20, which is a reason why we
see Goku being able to block Jiren's hits despite his god of destruction like
power and also overpower high tier characters like toppo without any effort.
Also, despite the Self movement ability being a skill, we see Goku undergoing
a transformation and he doesn't utilise it naturally like Whis or the other
angels. However, it is possible to stack kaioken on top of it as kaioken is a
special technique and not really a transformation. Hence goku would be able to
utilise Kaioken with the UI transformation assuming his body is capable of
handling it.

Now there is a possibility Goku might be able to adapt this transformation
into his base form where he is capable of utilising his self-movement ability
without undergoing the transformation. Maybe something like the SSJ
transformation during the cell arc, where Goku mastered it and managed to stay
in it for a prolonged period of time as though he was in his natural stage.
Also this can also refer to him absorbing the god form into his base form or
him utilising god ki in his base form.

Although, this doesn't seem practical as the UI transformation multiplier
seems to be significantly higher than SSJB based on Goku's fight with Jiren so
I don't see why goku would wan't to stack the skill with SSJB. Maybe utilising
kaioken with the UI transformation might increase his power humongously.
