File:SuperPerfectCellInstantTransmission.png After wishing to become the strongest warrior in the universe, Granolah gained several new abilities, including a technique for instantaneous movement which Goku comments on as being faster to use than Instant Transmission. During his battle with Dyspo, however, Super Saiyan God Goku was unable to use Instant Transmission, as Dyspo's sheer speed eclipsed even the instantaneous technique. Goku trains the technique to requires much less concentration later in the series, as shown in his fight with Top. Whilst the technique itself allows for travel that is effectively instantaneous, performing the technique itself does require time to concentrate and/or to place the fingers on the user's forehead to aid concentration. Meta-Cooler, however, is aware of this technique, and (at least in the Funimation dub) claims it to be a favorite of his, catching Goku off-guard in their battle by outclassing Goku's own usage of it. Even beings with great knowledge of techniques or lots of experience, such as the Galactic Patrol, Babidi, Moro and Beerus, are either totally unfamiliar with the technique or do not know how to use it. The ability is fairly rare, allowing Goku to gain the element of surprise. He can also use two of his signature attacks in conjunction with this technique the Instant Kamehameha and the Instant Spirit Bomb. The move allows him to escape from attacks which would be otherwise too fast to dodge, and can be used repeatedly at short ranges to disorient opponents who cannot follow his ki signature as he teleports around them. The technique is also frequently used by Goku in battle. Throughout the rest of the series, Goku uses the technique often to travel around the universe. Goku intended to use the technique to get to Earth before the rebuilt Frieza could harm anyone ( Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle depicts Future Goku accomplishing this goal), but since Future Trunks had already come to finish Frieza and his father off, Goku deemed it unnecessary, deciding to demonstrate it after his return to the fellow Z Fighters instead by warping to Kame House and stealing Master Roshi's sunglasses in under a few seconds. The Yardrats taught Instant Transmission to Goku during his time on their planet. The technique has many practical uses throughout the series. In addition, there is a limit to the amount of people Goku can teleport at one time, as in Dragon Ball GT he was unable to transport the entire world's population in a single trip. During the Kid Buu Saga, this complication arose when Goku found himself unable to teleport to New Namek since their ki signatures were too far away for him to reach. Since Instant Transmission requires a ki signature to lock onto (whereas Kai Kai does not), the technique's success is dependent on the user's ability to detect the desired signature. Goku describes it as more complicated than traditional teleportation, as it consists of merging one's energy and demolecularizing their atoms in order to enter and transport oneself through the Teleportation Zone to begin with, then reassembling in the area where the locked-on signature resides. In the movies, the process is further elaborated on as entering a Teleportation Zone to transmit, where a user uses the zone as a waypoint to lock onto the desired ki signature and exit at that destination. The user can rematerialize anywhere within a short range of their target. Instant Transmission allows the user and anyone that is in physical contact with them to instantly travel great distances (from meters to light-years, between the living world and Other World, or even travel outside time itself) just by concentrating on a particular individual's ki signature and transmitting or feeling that being's location. When used by Yardrats and those who gained the technique thanks to them, it is achieved via Spirit Control. This action is usually accompanied by the user placing his index and middle fingers on their forehead to help themself concentrate, though if extra time is taken the technique can be performed without this aid.
