Context: after Vegeta is defeated by Beerus
Vegeta: “Damn…”
Whis: “You don’t have to feel the sting of defeat, Vegeta. You did very well.”
Vegeta: “I’m no match for him at all…”
Whis: “What did you expect? After all, your opponent is the God of Destruction of this universe. I can tell that you still think first and move later. Doing that is limiting. It will take some time for your brain and senses to get your body to move how you want. You must be able to let every single part of your body judge and act on its own. And that’s very difficult. Even Lord Beerus hasn’t mastered it.”

Ch. 22, pg. 24.1-4
Context: as Goku watches Vegeta fight Goku Black
Goku: “Vegeta, he sure did his homework… Super Saiyan Blue brings out enormous power, but you can’t fight in that form for long. However, the God form is well-balanced by comparison. It doesn’t consume much energy either.”
Trunks: “B-but still, how do you handle Goku Black while staying in that God form…?”
Goku: “He’s not always keeping the God form up. Take a closer look.”
Trunks: “What?!”
