In the last manga SSR is done without ritual by Goku , did you mean in the anime it cant be done without ritual?

Yes that is what I wrote. In the manga SSR no ritual is cannon. And in the anime ssb kaioken x10 is cannon. One of these is false but we don't know which yet.

<p>In the last manga, Goku is able to transform in Super Saiyan God Red on his own, without the other 5 Saiyans surrounding him in a ritual. My question is, in this transformation, can he use the Kaio-ken on top of it, just as he used it with the Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan transformation (Super Saiyan Blue)?</p>

@MichaelMcQuade in the anime he does to try and defeat Hit, though in the end he bails out, and immedatly his body twists and distorts presumably because of kaio ken, leading to a short filler arc where he cant control his Ki.

Perhaps consider changing the tag - this question isn't about the whole Dragon Ball series, just Dragon Ball Super (or just after DBZ)

Can Super Saiyan God (Red) Kaio-ken be made just like Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Blue) Kaio-ken?

Your question is a tricky one, my friend. It hasn't been covered in the anime or the manga as to whether or not that is possible, but theoretically it should NOT be.

Why? Because in the anime which has already been declared canon ("*somewhat...*"), it has been stated that Kaioken on top of SSB is allowable because it is used on god-ki under **perfect ki control**.

SSR does not have perfect ki control which is why it can only be done via ritual, and also why Vegeta does not have SSR form.

Arguably since the manga and the anime deviate whereas spoilers below for anyone who isn't caught up...

Kaioken on SSB may not even "technically" be real due to the anime only being partially canon.

TLDR: Theoretically no, and with what has currently been seen in the anime and manga as of June 27, 2016, no. Is it possible? Yes.
