“GMT ultra instinct” meme: meaning, origin and common card

What does the “GMT ultra instinct” meme mean?

The meme is used to describe someone chaining reactions or feats with almost supernatural speed, as if acting without thinking but always at the right moment. It is used to compliment a particularly precise and fast move, in a video game, a sport, or an everyday situation. It is a direct reference to that state where the body seems to act on its own, faster than conscious thought.

Where does the “GMT ultra instinct” meme come from?

Ultra Instinct is a transformation of the character Son Goku introduced in the manga and anime Dragon Ball Super, created by Akira Toriyama and drawn by Toyotarou. In that state, the character's body reacts automatically to attacks without the mind needing to consciously anticipate them, giving him extraordinary speed and precision. This idea of a body acting faster than thought was widely reused online to describe any reaction or performance that seems to go beyond a person's usual abilities. The “GMT” tag added to the phrase refers to a reference specific to the community that spread this spin-off, without changing the meaning of the original concept from Dragon Ball Super.
