There's still the fellows from whichever universe who are hiding their contestants (the ones who appeared to have 8 individuals but still contained 10 beings).

Vegeta trying out Ultra Instinct was pretty funny.

Punching through the head of someone would normally make you concerned about killing them. But whatever, good riddance.

Well, I think that form, whatever it was, was just some kind of giant energy construct and not her actual body.

It most likely is given how this worked, but as someone from a different universe you wouldn't know that, and you'd be risking disqualification because of it.

Back to Ultra Instinct, I think it's weird that Goku's punches are lacking power because of it. UI is about speed and reacting to threats. That's the whole mechanism of it. Performing the best attack when the opportunity opens up would be its offensive application, but to suggest that Goku hasn't mastered offence by having him throw light punches doesn't fit the mechanism at all.

Instead, if Goku loses UI for an instant during attacks and makes himself vulnerable because he's thinking then it'd be much more in line with how we're told UI works. It'd be effectively similar to how Hit used his timeskip at first.

from what i understood UI is not about "Reacting" to threats, more than disconnecting his brain from his muscles and letting them act on their own.

there is a thing called muscle memory, for example if you do the same task a number times you can actually keep doing the same task without thinking about the task and even with closed eyes, think of UI as an advance technique of muscle memory. in the end goku has been fighting now for more than 45 years (he is 44 right now but that doesnt counts all the years in the time chamber) and has been training with god like powers for 2 years so his body is already accustomed to the same task over and over and over.

so right now his body is moving on its own in the most fluent way possible, and when doing so he is using as less energy as possible so by keeping doing the same kind of movement his punches are way weaker because they have almost no energy

I have a feeling they are there to pad their numbers for when time runs out and aren't strong at all
