Throughout the Dragon Ball franchise, it's been clear that Ultra Instinct is the greatest Martial Arts technique ever created. Used primarily by the Angels of the multiverse, it is notorious for being exceptionally difficult for anyone besides themselves to master, which is precisely why it was such an incredible moment when Goku ended up obtaining, and eventually mastering, the technique during the Tournament of Power.
This was momentous, as Goku proved to be the first mortal in the multiverse to fully use this power-up, something which even the Gods of Destruction struggle with. Despite that, many fans believe that there are a handful of characters in Dragon Ball who may one day attain this legendary technique, so in the article, let's go over the most likely candidates who could unlock Ultra Instinct.
Dragon Ball: Goku, Whis, And All Others That Have Mastered Ultra Instinct
Ultra Instinct is the most difficult Martial Arts technique in the multiverse, but these characters are the only ones who have mastered it!
Many Think That Gohan Has The Power And Discipline For Ultra Instinct

- Gohan has the potential to unlock this form.
Many Dragon Ball fans believed that Gohan would eventually obtain Ultra Instinct just like his father, long before Beast Gohan was ever shown. There is quite a reason to believe this, since this technique is one that requires the user to be calm and emotionless to wield properly, and over the years, Gohan has shown an incredible amount of restraint and calmness in battle. This has led to him being the front runner in fan rankings about the next person to possibly achieve Ultra Instinct.
My goal is an ultimate form that no one has ever seen before!
However, this is almost impossible to end up happening. The reason for this is that Dragon Ball is in a very interesting place going forward, in that the characters have prioritized their own paths to power rather than following the same line of transformations. For Gohan, this came in the form of Beast, which was a unique transformation that made full use of his unmatched potential to make him just as strong as Ultra Instinct Goku, which shows that he has no need for the Angel's technique.

- Beerus is the strongest Destroyer God.
Of all the Gods of Destruction, Beerus is the only one who has shown the ability to use Ultra Instinct in any capacity. Since Angels are the attendants to the Destroyers and also act as their teachers, these deities undergo training for Ultra Instinct, but it seems that Beerus is the only one who is capable of using it, even though it's only Ultra Instinct Omen. In the Destroyer exhibition match, Beerus and Quitela were the only ones left standing, implying that these two are the strongest of them all.
Anyone stronger than the God of Destruction does not exist!
As could be seen with Goku, it's clear that one must first unlock Ultra Instinct Omen before they eventually master the legendary technique, which shows that Beerus is already halfway there. Of course, he is incredibly lazy and would rather sleep and eat instead of train, so he would likely have mastered the technique fully by now if he was slightly more disciplined. In any case, Beerus' mix of Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego would make him the closest thing to a perfect warrior in Dragon Ball.

- Jiren's temperament makes him the perfect candidate for Ultra Instinct.
Across the Dragon Ball multiverse, there is no character besides Goku who is better suited to Ultra Instinct than the strongest being in Universe 11, Jiren the Gray. In the Tournament of Power, he proved to be the greatest threat to Universe 7 as a whole, showing unbridled power throughout the entire event and could only be defeated by Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku. However, despite his insane strength, the real reason why people believe him to be the best candidate for Ultra Instinct is his temperament.
All is meaningless without victory. To be defeated is to lose everything!
Unlike just about everyone else, Jiren is remarkably composed at almost every single moment, never losing his cool and always either meditating or leading his team. This shows that his mindset is the quintessential one for a character to have for Ultra Instinct. Plus, seeing him achieve this state in the time that Goku last saw him would be the perfect way to bring him back up to the level of the current Z-Fighters, or perhaps even far above it. Jiren truly is a prodigy and the hardest worker, so him having Ultra Instinct shouldn't surprise anyone.
