Let's go Goku! Hope he can pull some out of his reserves since he used less ki attacks than Vegeta in this battle and can get the win.

Ass Pull, coming up. Maybe a Kaioken or an ascended form of the actual form that we don't have a name for yet.
JackOctober 8th 2023
I think they will have Goku use kaioken as a callback to galick ho vs kamehameha, but it won't give Goku the win, as the fight will most likely end with both of them beating each other in base
Goku is either resigning to defeat, or he gonna do an ass pull.
Wouldn't use such language to describe it, but yes - likely the latter.
At the end of the day, Son Goku still is the main character. It all ends with him, despite there being many great characters around him.
And that's a good thing. Having a great main protagnist, but also having other characters who can play the role as main protagonist for periods of time. DBM has this even better then either DBS or even DBZ. And certainly VERY MUCH... GT. lol.
DC has this with Superman... (it's so good in DC... that's it is arguable even Superman even is the main hero in DC anymore. It's like 1A-1B with him at Batman).
Mortal Kombat with Lui Kang.
Naurto.
Etc.

Dammit Goku.
He looks like he's somehow tapping back into the calm state they both did at the start of the battle. While in the middle of being overpowered by a beam.
Feeling Goku man...

I’m just saying, if Goku uses the Kaioken, everyone who referred to this as ‘protagonist plot armor’ or anything of the like needs to apologize.
It’s not plot-armor or some random ass-pull. The Kaioken makes a lot of sense. It probably makes more sense than literally any other option in this instance- especially if this new form is intended to remove the strain added by transformations. He feels closer to his base form now than he ever has as a super Saiyan. The Kaioken is completely justifiable.
And for those who are saddened that this might end in a similar fashion to their first fight? Sorry, but not that much. You are literally reading a fanmade manga about multiple what-if scenarios for a franchise that has gone an entirely different direction. Stop pretending this entire comic isn’t literally fan service. You want fan-service, just the same as everyone else. Only difference is… you want fan-service related to less explored concepts in DB, while most want fan service more akin to classic DBZ combat. You’re not better- you’re just quirky and kinda opinionated about your takes. Lmao
This comic is just an amalgamation of both commonly explored fan-service and lesser explored fan-service. I’m not saying there’s not love and care put into it, because there are definitely some unique concepts and interesting tropes thrown in- but you’re basically just mad it wasn’t your turn. XD

It would be the exact opposite of justified. The whole reason they went for the first transformation is to not be slaves to the default problems of the super saiyan form: it taxes the body too much and damages it in the long run. The Kaioken would do PRECISELY the same, as it is literally a technique that damages the body for extra power output.
From a storywise perspective, if the kaioken is utilised, it would mean the entire setup for this battle is completely negated.
Im going to guess now that there's a beam struggle Goku CAN use the instant transmission technique to pinpoint where vegeta is located, and he's focusing on that.

Only problem is this is entirely your opinion and not a fact. It doesn’t negate anything related to the transformation. It’s still a justifiable way to use their super Saiyan power more effectively. You’re acting like they made some sacred vow to never use transformations that caused energy-dump/harm again. We’ve literally seen both of them casually go into SSJ3. Vegeta did it just to show off/make a point. They still needlessly waste energy. This form doesn’t mean anything special has changed in their views- they’re still gonna do what they deem as the best option. They’ve already shown that.
Like I said- you have no point, you have an opinion…which is 100% clouded by bias.
Kaioken is justifiable because this form is so easy on the body. If your answer is some argument about the narrative meaning…I do not care.
Although I do agree that instant transmission is totally an option- I’m just not so hard-pressed as to deny Kaioken being just as viable

His lack of pupils on the last panel suggest he's either passing out, or about to go even further beyond.
DBZFan92October 8th 2023
I'm so glad they're actually throwing in a beam struggle. I want Vegeta to win but I don't even mind if Goku does now. Still have a bad taste left from how they handled the first chapter of this fight but at least it didn't end there, and I'll give credit where it's due. I feel some of the choreography has been underwhelming, while it seems a little too obvious Goku is going to win throughout the fight, and to me the Vegeta rock kick seems like something that Toei would throw in as nonsensical filler (like when Goku was scared of Vegeta throwing him into a sharp rock...), but everything else about the fight has been great. Obviously the art has been incredible. I really hope Goku doesn't use Kaioken here though. I get what people mean if they think it's too similar to their first fight, but for me personally, I wouldn't like it because it kind of seems like Kaioken would be the exact antithesis of this new form they've achieved.
MustardOctober 8th 2023

I am not sure Kaioken is viable though I do agree with the point your making. Obviously this form would be better equipped to handle Kaioken than any SSJ form physically, but it does take concentration for Goku and Vegeta to use this transformation. That is concentration being spent already, not to mention they are probably spending effort staying conscious in the shape Goku and Vegeta are in. Does Goku have the mental strength (though it's hard to doubt a guy like Goku here on this one) to focus on this new transformation, focus on staying conscious as he gets the shit kicked out of him by Vegeta, and then push his body beyond his normal limits (like Kaioken)?
Though again, your point is valid because it's just logical to go to the next level if the current level ain't enough and you can go higher, even if it does strain your body. That's why Goku did high-levels of Kaioken against Vegeta and especially Frieza. It's why Goku uses SSJ3 at all, because SSJ3 is undeniably superior to SSJ2 as a transformation because it offers you a level of power SSJ2 can't. But there is a risk that if Goku used Kaioken that Goku could hurt himself more if he messes up and Vegeta gains the upper hand and wins. I wouldn't be too thrilled about Goku beating Vegeta with Kaioken though, I rather see him win some other way or even just Vegeta winning.
Goku is either resigning to defeat, or he gonna do an ass pull.
Ass pull, 100%. At least it was a great fight and it kept going after the first "end of the fight" leaving some room for speculation on the outcome. Great job DBM! Really enjoyed the fight.

DicaxOctober 9th 2023
This has been a fantastic fight with many quality callbacks. It would be a nice sideways nod to the Maijin duel to have Goku sit on another level for the entire fight but then actually get to use it in the end. That or, hear me out, energy blasts seem like they're along the same lines as SSJ- flashy overexertion of power. Goku being beyond that (somehow) would explain why he used little to not ki blasts this fight while Vegeta was blasting away.
cm96502gOctober 9th 2023
Oooh tough call here. Almost looks like Goku could be losing consciousness here, but even DBM I just can’t see doing the genuinely unexpected thing by having a clean win for Vegeta. Sensing an incoming Goku moment. Not so sure it’ll be the old Kaioken boost. I’m thinking more likely that Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport behind Vegeta. The other possibility I think might be in spite of the exhaustion of both characters, Goku will somehow pull out the “level 2” version of this new form on the spot for the win. Simply because that second one would be the textbook definition of a Goku moment.

What if Goku let's himself get seemingly devoured by the blast, but Vegeta knows that it was not case as Goku appears above him. It is revealed that Goku has learned to instant transmission without gestures. This last new trick is what gave Goku a slight edge over Vegeta. Vegeta and Goku look at each other as if they're ready to continue fighting but then Vegeta surrenders to his tiredness and passes out, giving Goku the win. Would that feel like a lesser ass pull?
Remember, Vegeta used instant transmission against Cell! It's not a dirty/magic trick! It's a legitimate technique that derives from raw power and relies on ki!

Gatsu81October 9th 2023
It seems quite clear to me that Goku is trying to regain is composure and stabilizing is breathing. Whether he will be successful or not I don't know, plus Vegeta could very well be trying to do the same right now, but it seems evident that he's closed his eyes to focus, and his mouth is in the classical "breathing out" position.
By the way, I'd like to really compliment the art, which is nothing short of amazing, but I also really like the development of both Goku and Vegeta. Is particularly good to see the main character acting as the hardened warrior is supposed to be, opposite of the current official productions that sadly reverted him to a beginner simpleton.
To everyone complaining about the ass pulls and BS power ups....why the hell are you even Dragonball fans?
I can't speak for everyone else but I'm a Dragon Ball Z fan, in DBZ the powerups were well grounded in its own logic not ass pulls, they came from a good deal of training and plotwise were well hinted. Unlike DBS where Goku is pretty much Saint Seiya now, you knock him down and BAM he gets up stronger (no heal, no zenkais) than his adversary with a new powerup that came out of nowhere. DBM so far hasn't made any BS powerups but after how Dragon Ball's current cannon handled Goku, I'd say its fair for people to be on the defensive about him and his potential ass pulls.
DarrowOctober 9th 2023
Really…. He’s getting protagonist armor now? Kaioken on top of this new, calm, no power-ups form? And here I thought for the first time ever it might be a draw between Vegeta & Goku. I was hoping their beam clash would be a stalemate and they’d both pass out from expending all their energy. Maybe they both even die from it, since they’d be resurrected no doubt. Sigh.

A beam struggle that ends in a draw would be even worse. With the insane amounts of energy they are throwing around those beams would have to cancel each other perfectly and even the slightest imbalance would vaporise one when he passes out.
A draw would have been fine a couple pages ago. Now I just want to fight to end, don't care who wins.
Benson O'MalleyOctober 9th 2023
I like how it looks like Goku's hair is illuminated by the beam, making it look like he could be trying to resist going super saiyan, or even struggling to transform considering he's likely running out of juice and can barely maintain this Zen Mode
YesOctober 9th 2023
Maybe a real SSJ Kaioken? This new ssj form not sure what it is called but I will call it True SSJ. True SSJ combined with Kaioken could push Goku up to near SSJ Vegito tier if he was at full power. But it is likely that he is struggling more from the strain of trying to hold back the attack from Vegeta here.

Would also like to see it, but it's kind of contradiction to their actual state.
Right now they keep all energy inside without leaking it out, even their aura vanished. Kaioken is the opposite of it, you get a boost for pushing out all you have.
DrewSagaOctober 10th 2023
I wonder if Goku is gonna try to create a ki shield of sorts to deflect Vegeta's blast around him rather than try to overpower his blast since Goku shouldn't be able to without an additional powerup to usurp Vegeta. That's a possibility I am surprised nobody even considered.
In the novel, U18 Vegeta actually did something similar against U13 Kakarotto when they had a beam struggle, Kakarotto looked like he was about to beat Vegeta and then, Kakarotto's kamehameha, just went around Vegeta like nothing happened as though he managed to shield himself with a fancy energy blast.
Doragon94October 10th 2023
First time posting in almost 4 years.
This page compelled me in doing so because its comimg to the conclusion of this great fight.
I wanna say, reading DBZM for the last couple of years, for me, this story is the superior one next to anything official. The love that goes into the art and story have kept me coming back to finish it page after page. It's much better than the DBS anime or even manga in most cases, a million times better than Heroes or Xenoverse in terms of storytelling, or literally anything else Dragon Ball related that has come out in the last couple of years.
Sure, it's annoying when the story comes to a grinding halt because of specials or some things just don't make sense but it's always obvious that it's a story made by people that truly love Dragon Ball. I've seen people in these comments show their love or disgust over the years, all types of opinions but I love seeing the passionate words and I'm inspired to share mine today.
As for what comes next, some people are saying that Goku may gather his strength for one final push to victory but seeing such great art depict Goku in this scenario, my heart hopes and is telling me that that after all these years of knowing this character, one that is synonymous with who I am and has greatly influenced me all my life, not unlike many of you, that he knows that after years of being ahead and on top, he's finally been bested by his best buddy/greatest rival at the peak of their powers and as much as hes happy for him, he's just happy to have gotten a great fight out of it, no hard feelings. That's how I interpret the last panel but thank you for allowing me to visualize something that has always been in my heart and mind, I'm ready to see the conclusion!!!

No need to apologize, but remember Goku's instant transmission kamehameha against Cell?

From a storywise perspective, if the kaioken is utilised, it would mean the entire setup for this battle is completely negated.
Actually, and this is a part about Kaioken that seems to have just been forgotten in the fanbase for a min now, the Kaioken only damages the body if used beyond what the user can handle. Back in Saiyan Saga (in the manga at least) it was even explained that Kakarot can only use up to Kaioken x3 without drawbacks, but x4 and up would cause recoil damage. Kaioken in essence is about your ki control, and the upper limits of your ki threshold.
Not saying Goku or Vegeta couldn't theoretically do that (it's up to Salagir after all), but it would be unprecedented.
i assume the ki just streams out of his hands like a sink streaming water, if you teleported a sink whilst it was streaming water, it doesn't just stream again because it was never turned off, just merely moved.
it would actually just be something like this:
1.charge
2.launch
3.teleport
there is no 4th step (besides maybe getting hit by your own blast if you teleport in the way.)

Unless I'm misreading the intent I don't think you can stack Kaioken on top of this new form.
It's kind of why Ultimate Gohan doesn't go SSJ, because it wouldn't do anything for him, because the 'ultimate' form is basically 'the max output of energy possible but with no downsides'.
So it'd be entirely downsides with no benefits. That is if this is how it works in DBM, and technically it's not the ultimate form, just an offshoot.
zero logicOctober 11th 2023
Why are people calling it plot armor? Vegeta was on the ground with a bloody forehead. Getting up and keep fighting toe to toe with the guy who punched him to the ground doesn't count as plot armor? Not to mention Goku has been ahead of him since post Saiyan saga and has never looked back. It makes sense for Goku to one up Vegeta

Honestly, Gohan's Ultimate Form is a little hard to figure why this or that doesn't work since it's not thoroughly explained. Like, old Kai told Gohan to do what he does when going Super Saiyan and it activated the form. This made me think he can't stack it cause it sort of replaced it, but then Super goes and has it be like in the video games where the two forms are seperate things that Gohan choose which one to turn into. It's just really confusing to reason why this or that doesn't work. Though I will say that Super Saiyan is a form and the Kaioken is a technique. The Kaioken can be stacked on other forms, it just might backfire with certain forms that put a strain on your body or consume a ton of Ki, like with Super Saiyan. It's not that Goku can't pull out Super Saiyan Kaioken, it would just burn him out or hurt him if he tried. We also don't have a lot of info on this new form other than some small comments from the spectators, so who knows what it can and can't have stacked on it, besides the writer I mean.

People saying "ass pull" incoming because th e prince of no one/entitled Saiyans won't possibly win despite not being a character in Dragonball till Much much later while characters like Piccolo fell to the way side.

Lest y'all forgot, and it still annoys me, Goku didn't beat Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga and their Buu Saga fight was interrupted. Head to head wise, Goku hasn't one. But a fan fiction even.....is where y'all say, "Oh Goku will win again like always".....actually go back and read/watch Dragonball instead of crying about misconceptions myths of Dragonball.
Even in Super Goku gets thrashed in 90% of his fights. He's not even impressive anymore there when he and Vegeta arrives. It's just a matter of how fast will they lose.

Thank you for proving my point. Even in that crap, the writers made Vegeta win and had him say "finally" as if they fought before. Twas a mere training session and not a tournament but still.
SevenPuppet was saying: UnifiedEntity was saying: People saying "ass pull" incoming because th e prince of no one/entitled Saiyans won't possibly win despite not being a character in Dragonball till Much much later while characters like Piccolo fell to the way side. HES NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER. Goku still to this day hasn't made out on his promise to Krillin to beat widows peak ass since the Saiyan Saga. Lest y'all forgot, and it still annoys me, Goku didn't beat Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga and their Buu Saga fight was interrupted. Head to head wise, Goku hasn't one. But a fan fiction even.....is where y'all say, "Oh Goku will win again like always".....actually go back and read/watch Dragonball instead of crying about misconceptions myths of Dragonball.
Even in Super Goku gets thrashed in 90% of his fights. He's not even impressive anymore there when he and Vegeta arrives. It's just a matter of how fast will they lose.

>Because [Vegeta] "needs" a win...
>(According to people who believe Vegeta
is an underdog because they started watching Dragon Ball Z during the namek arc on western blocks like Toonami, and skipped the Saiyan Saga reruns [and avoided Garlic Junior filler] until the Cell/Android saga started).
Also, according to Toriyama who is overcompensating for the fact that he is admittedly forgetful and lost control of the plot while writing the original Manga (as seen by the Buu Saga course correction).
ie: Goku is NOT a righteous hero!
He ONLY cares about fighting!
(Just ignore everything prior to the Piccolo Jr. Saga, all of the the Raditz Saga, the end of the Cell Saga, and the beginning of the Buu Saga)
He dies fighting Vegeta in space because they BOTH were getting old!

Wouldn't use such language to describe it, but yes - likely the latter.
At the end of the day, Son Goku still is the main character. It all ends with him, despite there being many great characters around him.
And that's a good thing. Having a great main protagnist, but also having other characters who can play the role as main protagonist for periods of time. DBM has this even better then either DBS or even DBZ. And certainly VERY MUCH... GT. lol.
DC has this with Superman... (it's so good in DC... that's it is arguable even Superman even is the main hero in DC anymore. It's like 1A-1B with him at Batman).
Mortal Kombat with Lui Kang.
Naurto.
Etc.
He looks like he's somehow tapping back into the calm state they both did at the start of the battle. While in the middle of being overpowered by a beam.
Feeling Goku man...
It was still an awesome Fight, though.
It’s not plot-armor or some random ass-pull. The Kaioken makes a lot of sense. It probably makes more sense than literally any other option in this instance- especially if this new form is intended to remove the strain added by transformations. He feels closer to his base form now than he ever has as a super Saiyan. The Kaioken is completely justifiable.
And for those who are saddened that this might end in a similar fashion to their first fight? Sorry, but not that much. You are literally reading a fanmade manga about multiple what-if scenarios for a franchise that has gone an entirely different direction. Stop pretending this entire comic isn’t literally fan service. You want fan-service, just the same as everyone else. Only difference is… you want fan-service related to less explored concepts in DB, while most want fan service more akin to classic DBZ combat. You’re not better- you’re just quirky and kinda opinionated about your takes. Lmao
This comic is just an amalgamation of both commonly explored fan-service and lesser explored fan-service. I’m not saying there’s not love and care put into it, because there are definitely some unique concepts and interesting tropes thrown in- but you’re basically just mad it wasn’t your turn. XD

It would be the exact opposite of justified. The whole reason they went for the first transformation is to not be slaves to the default problems of the super saiyan form: it taxes the body too much and damages it in the long run. The Kaioken would do PRECISELY the same, as it is literally a technique that damages the body for extra power output.
From a storywise perspective, if the kaioken is utilised, it would mean the entire setup for this battle is completely negated.
Im going to guess now that there's a beam struggle Goku CAN use the instant transmission technique to pinpoint where vegeta is located, and he's focusing on that.
...
...
Vegeta: "TIMES FIVE"
Vegeta wins.
From a storywise perspective, if the kaioken is utilised, it would mean the entire setup for this battle is completely negated.
Only problem is this is entirely your opinion and not a fact. It doesn’t negate anything related to the transformation. It’s still a justifiable way to use their super Saiyan power more effectively. You’re acting like they made some sacred vow to never use transformations that caused energy-dump/harm again. We’ve literally seen both of them casually go into SSJ3. Vegeta did it just to show off/make a point. They still needlessly waste energy. This form doesn’t mean anything special has changed in their views- they’re still gonna do what they deem as the best option. They’ve already shown that.
Like I said- you have no point, you have an opinion…which is 100% clouded by bias.
Kaioken is justifiable because this form is so easy on the body. If your answer is some argument about the narrative meaning…I do not care.
Although I do agree that instant transmission is totally an option- I’m just not so hard-pressed as to deny Kaioken being just as viable
Noo..

I am not sure Kaioken is viable though I do agree with the point your making. Obviously this form would be better equipped to handle Kaioken than any SSJ form physically, but it does take concentration for Goku and Vegeta to use this transformation. That is concentration being spent already, not to mention they are probably spending effort staying conscious in the shape Goku and Vegeta are in. Does Goku have the mental strength (though it's hard to doubt a guy like Goku here on this one) to focus on this new transformation, focus on staying conscious as he gets the shit kicked out of him by Vegeta, and then push his body beyond his normal limits (like Kaioken)?
Though again, your point is valid because it's just logical to go to the next level if the current level ain't enough and you can go higher, even if it does strain your body. That's why Goku did high-levels of Kaioken against Vegeta and especially Frieza. It's why Goku uses SSJ3 at all, because SSJ3 is undeniably superior to SSJ2 as a transformation because it offers you a level of power SSJ2 can't. But there is a risk that if Goku used Kaioken that Goku could hurt himself more if he messes up and Vegeta gains the upper hand and wins. I wouldn't be too thrilled about Goku beating Vegeta with Kaioken though, I rather see him win some other way or even just Vegeta winning.
Well where was the protagonist armor for him or his friend's in the other universes that they lost?
Maybe different characters got plot armor in different universes. I mean look at U16 with Bra and U20 with Broly.
Ass pull, 100%. At least it was a great fight and it kept going after the first "end of the fight" leaving some room for speculation on the outcome. Great job DBM! Really enjoyed the fight.
Remember, Vegeta used instant transmission against Cell! It's not a dirty/magic trick! It's a legitimate technique that derives from raw power and relies on ki!

No offense but... new trick? Vegeta has known that Goku can do instant transmission without any gestures since Goku's battle with Cell.

Really? I apologize then.
By the way, I'd like to really compliment the art, which is nothing short of amazing, but I also really like the development of both Goku and Vegeta. Is particularly good to see the main character acting as the hardened warrior is supposed to be, opposite of the current official productions that sadly reverted him to a beginner simpleton.
I can't speak for everyone else but I'm a Dragon Ball Z fan, in DBZ the powerups were well grounded in its own logic not ass pulls, they came from a good deal of training and plotwise were well hinted. Unlike DBS where Goku is pretty much Saint Seiya now, you knock him down and BAM he gets up stronger (no heal, no zenkais) than his adversary with a new powerup that came out of nowhere. DBM so far hasn't made any BS powerups but after how Dragon Ball's current cannon handled Goku, I'd say its fair for people to be on the defensive about him and his potential ass pulls.
A beam struggle that ends in a draw would be even worse. With the insane amounts of energy they are throwing around those beams would have to cancel each other perfectly and even the slightest imbalance would vaporise one when he passes out.
A draw would have been fine a couple pages ago. Now I just want to fight to end, don't care who wins.
Would also like to see it, but it's kind of contradiction to their actual state.
Right now they keep all energy inside without leaking it out, even their aura vanished. Kaioken is the opposite of it, you get a boost for pushing out all you have.
In the novel, U18 Vegeta actually did something similar against U13 Kakarotto when they had a beam struggle, Kakarotto looked like he was about to beat Vegeta and then, Kakarotto's kamehameha, just went around Vegeta like nothing happened as though he managed to shield himself with a fancy energy blast.
This page compelled me in doing so because its comimg to the conclusion of this great fight.
I wanna say, reading DBZM for the last couple of years, for me, this story is the superior one next to anything official. The love that goes into the art and story have kept me coming back to finish it page after page. It's much better than the DBS anime or even manga in most cases, a million times better than Heroes or Xenoverse in terms of storytelling, or literally anything else Dragon Ball related that has come out in the last couple of years.
Sure, it's annoying when the story comes to a grinding halt because of specials or some things just don't make sense but it's always obvious that it's a story made by people that truly love Dragon Ball. I've seen people in these comments show their love or disgust over the years, all types of opinions but I love seeing the passionate words and I'm inspired to share mine today.
As for what comes next, some people are saying that Goku may gather his strength for one final push to victory but seeing such great art depict Goku in this scenario, my heart hopes and is telling me that that after all these years of knowing this character, one that is synonymous with who I am and has greatly influenced me all my life, not unlike many of you, that he knows that after years of being ahead and on top, he's finally been bested by his best buddy/greatest rival at the peak of their powers and as much as hes happy for him, he's just happy to have gotten a great fight out of it, no hard feelings. That's how I interpret the last panel but thank you for allowing me to visualize something that has always been in my heart and mind, I'm ready to see the conclusion!!!

No need to apologize, but remember Goku's instant transmission kamehameha against Cell?
Myetic Zander was saying: I’m just saying, if Goku uses the Kaioken, everyone who referred to this as ‘protagonist plot armor’ or anything of the like needs to apologize.

Actually, and this is a part about Kaioken that seems to have just been forgotten in the fanbase for a min now, the Kaioken only damages the body if used beyond what the user can handle. Back in Saiyan Saga (in the manga at least) it was even explained that Kakarot can only use up to Kaioken x3 without drawbacks, but x4 and up would cause recoil damage. Kaioken in essence is about your ki control, and the upper limits of your ki threshold.
Yeah, that's literally what the series is known for! Gohan Beast, anyone?
Goku used his while the attack was being charged. Not while it was already launched.
"Warp" Kamehameha =
1. Charge,
2. Teleport,
3. Launch
Theoretical DBM Warp Final Flash/Kamehameha =
1. Charge,
2. Launch,
3. Teleport,
4. Launch (again?)
Not saying Goku or Vegeta couldn't theoretically do that (it's up to Salagir after all), but it would be unprecedented.

i assume the ki just streams out of his hands like a sink streaming water, if you teleported a sink whilst it was streaming water, it doesn't just stream again because it was never turned off, just merely moved.
it would actually just be something like this:
1.charge
2.launch
3.teleport
there is no 4th step (besides maybe getting hit by your own blast if you teleport in the way.)

Unless I'm misreading the intent I don't think you can stack Kaioken on top of this new form.
It's kind of why Ultimate Gohan doesn't go SSJ, because it wouldn't do anything for him, because the 'ultimate' form is basically 'the max output of energy possible but with no downsides'.
So it'd be entirely downsides with no benefits. That is if this is how it works in DBM, and technically it's not the ultimate form, just an offshoot.

Honestly, Gohan's Ultimate Form is a little hard to figure why this or that doesn't work since it's not thoroughly explained. Like, old Kai told Gohan to do what he does when going Super Saiyan and it activated the form. This made me think he can't stack it cause it sort of replaced it, but then Super goes and has it be like in the video games where the two forms are seperate things that Gohan choose which one to turn into. It's just really confusing to reason why this or that doesn't work. Though I will say that Super Saiyan is a form and the Kaioken is a technique. The Kaioken can be stacked on other forms, it just might backfire with certain forms that put a strain on your body or consume a ton of Ki, like with Super Saiyan. It's not that Goku can't pull out Super Saiyan Kaioken, it would just burn him out or hurt him if he tried. We also don't have a lot of info on this new form other than some small comments from the spectators, so who knows what it can and can't have stacked on it, besides the writer I mean.
Even in Super Goku gets thrashed in 90% of his fights. He's not even impressive anymore there when he and Vegeta arrives. It's just a matter of how fast will they lose.

To help your point; Beerus beat him. Toppo beat him. Golden Frieza beat him, Jiren beat him the first time, Kefla almost beat him. Goku isn't infallible, and at the end of Super Hero Vegeta actually wins.

#13. Besides, do not try to second-guess what the authors (or even the readers) have in mind. For instance: “It's obvious they're not motivated anymore”, “DBM will soon end”. You can't read people's thoughts.
#14. Please, avoid political, religious, identity, community etc... references.
#15. Do not accuse one another of this and that. For instance: a reader who dislike Bra isn't necessarily misogynous, a reader who dislikes Uub isn't necessarily a racist.
#16. Do not be extreme to the point you lose every objectivity, even if you're defending DBM. Do not think you're a moderator. So, for instance, do not write: "Don't read if you don't like it." "Go and try and draw better!" or "Stop criticizing!!" Readers may, or may not, approve of the scenario, the characters or the drawings. Debate if you wish, but stay objective. Really: do not try to do the job of the moderators, you just give them more work to do.
#17. If you ever have questions about DBM (the publication of the next page, how we work...), do not ask it here. Read the FAQ. If you can't find the answer in there, you can send a mail to the DBM team in the "The Authors" section.
#18. Do not reply to anyone who doesn't follow the rules, or your comment will be deleted as the same time as him, even if it's about DBM too.
