We know Goku in Super Saiyan God and in Super Saiyan Blue uses God ki. And
apparently, he can also use God ki in base form. So, my question is, is Goku
using God ki when he uses Ultra Instinct? Does the anime show something about
this?

Is Goku using God ki when he uses Ultra Instinct?


**No**.  
Goku is not using God Ki while using Ultra Instinct. We know this definitely
based on Episode 110, 116 and 129. In Episode 110, When Goku used _Ultra
Instinct Omen_ in his fight against Jiren, Roshi and Tien were able to sense
Goku's energy. Even Piccolo was able to sense his energy as he made a
statement that he was becoming stronger during the course of battle.  
Also, during Goku's fight with Kefla, we see Kefla being able to sense Goku
power up increase his energy and hence responded by doing the same and even
Jiren was able to sense this energy and wake up from meditation during their
course of battle.

The _"heat"_ which has been mentioned during all the times Goku turned Ultra
Instinct , is a rise in Energy. We know this definitely in Episode 129 after
Whis talks about the same. Also, When Goku pushes back Jiren's barrage of
attacks, Jiren mentioned that Goku had generated this tremendous amount of
heat to land a decisive blow on him and defeat him for which he must
respond.(This was when Goku was powering up). When Jiren powered up before
launching his attack on Goku, Toppo remarked that Jiren was _"Getting way too
heated up(Generating a lot of heat)"_ , which in other words is a lot of
energy.

We know the Super Saiyan God transformations are all about Ki control and
Energy levels can't be sensed. Hence the above mentioned occurrences confirm
without a doubt that Goku is not utilising God Ki during the Ultra Instinct
Transformations

Yes. Whis's statement is very clear. As far as others sensing his ki and what
not, that's almost become a mute point. Broly, Jiren, 17 and Frieza don't have
God ki, yet can sense and counter it just fine. Akira obviously abandoned this
attribute for God ki.

The answer is YES. In Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 60, Vegeta clearly
states that Goku is using God Ki when in the Ultra Instinct Omen State.

Yes Ultra Instinct needs God ki. In chapter 66 of the manga, Vegeta and the
rest of the z fighters were giving Goku there energy but it wasn't enough. It
was stated that for Ultra Instinct godly ki is needed. That is why once goku
got Uub's energy he was able to go Ultra Instinct and destroy Moro's gem.

Ultra Instinct has god ki but it's on the next level of god ki my guess is
angels, gods of D and Kaiō-shin's have different type of god ki and you have
to be on that level too feel it. like how goku could not feel Toppo power and
top said he's a god of destruction candidate and how vegeta can't feel U.I
because it might be the god ki of angels and only angels and U'I users can
feel it but thats just my theory.
