Hello and welcome back all my dragon ball theorist, we have all been waiting for Manga
chapter 52 to come out since we have such interesting character progression going on
right now with Goku and Vegeta.
Our heroes split up last chapter to come up with ways to counter Moro who is still on
his planet absorbing destruction path of the Universe.
Goku who starts to unveil Merus true power and decides to train with him to unlock Ultra
Instinct and then Vegeta finally landing on Yardrat to uncover ancient secrets and learn
a technique to counter Moro who has beaten them easily with
his Magic.
So this chapter didn't disappoint as we finally get into Goku and Vegeta's journey and plans
to defeat their hardest enemy they have seen.
With that said we are going to be discussing the Dragon Ball Super Manga chapter 52 in
detail, so if you haven't read it yet because it just came out.
Spoilers ahead and there is a link in the description to Viz where I personally like
reading the chapters.
First up Vegeta secret plan on Yardrat which last chapter it ended with him finally arriving
at the planet.
We didn't know too much as to what his plans were except him stating, "the denizens of
that planet aren't suited to physical combat, but they employ a number of strange techniques."
The very same tribe that taught Kakarrot instant transmission.
Then when Vegeta was alone in his quarters swore that he won't be made a fool
of again and will learn a way to achieve victory over Moro, those convicts and even over Kakkarot.
Many asked well if Vegeta knew they had these secrets, then why only now visit Yardrat.
This is just excellent character development I feel and story telling for Vegeta who's
journey has led him to even new heights with Super Saiyan
Blue Evolution in the tournament.
However he realizes that strength alone isn't enough.
When they were defeated again by Moro and Goku asked Vegeta to grab onto him to Instant
transmission out of there.
Vegeta had his epiphany, "Stupid Magic Spells, Stupid God Power" Forget Instant transmission!!
We Saiyans pride ourselves on physical might, and nothing more!
A warrior race has no need for fancy parlor tricks!!....And yet,
I have been reduced to this!!!
So this was a hard defeat for Vegeta and despite how incredibly strong he has become, he realizes
the path he is on isn't enough.
He has reached his limits and now must seek out something that Pride has always prevented
him from doing!!
Which was to now visit Yardrat to learn techniques that don't rely on power
or physical strength.
I wanted to set all that up because I feel it is extremely important to the story which
leads us to where we are at and why Vegeta is on Yardrat now.
This is a path that Vegeta never wanted to take.
Exciting stuff for Dragon Ball fans now as Vegeta lands finally and is greeted by what
would seem to be a lot of Yardratians.
Now Vegeta states he heard they come in multiple types and
what is cool is the ones that greet Vegeta are the original Yardrat design by Toriyama
used in Dragon Ball online.
Not just the ones many of us became familar with in DBZ that were showed from
Goku's journey on Yardrat.
So it is cool that Toyotarou is using both designs in this chapter.
Now it is interesting they note that the Ginyu force was doing attacks on this planet and
were called away to Namek where Goku and Vegeta defeated them.
Which the Yardrats are eternally grateful for.
Then in an instant when Vegeta was referring to all of them they vanish and it was revealed
it was only a bunch of copies to look intimidating so people don't mess with them.
Here is where Vegeta is taken to the one who taught Goku
his Instant Transmission.
The Elder Yardrat's name is Pybara and he quickly let Vegeta know after introductions
that they have a misunderstanding on what the Yardrats can accomplish.
That wanting a technique to defeat Moro isn't what they can offer.
They aren't blessed with some great wealth of techniques, which shocks Vegeta!
This panel right here says they devote their studies to only a single thing, it is
from that their abilities are born.
They devote everything to Spirit Control.
Which Goku referred to as Ki.
All of their abilities Instant Transmission, Copies and even Gigantification are
achieved by shifting, splitting and growing one's very spirit.
Study how the spirit functions and the path will open to you as well.
So now Vegeta is anxious to learn this so called spirit
control.
I think I could do an entire video on diving into the meaning of this and maybe I will
but what I believe the short explanation here is saying.
Mastering this spirit control will open up a
technique that is specific to Vegeta.
A new power will be born within him.
He won't be learning a specific Yardrat technique but only mastering Spirit Control to open
up new powers that can be born from it.
This is a super fascinating way of telling the story of the Yardrat's secrets and will
be interesting how their Spirit Control training goes with Vegeta.
Then even more interesting what powers are born from this type of training.
Now onto Earth where the convicts had plans of stealing valuable minerals and something
we all hoped for in the story, Getting all of Earth's heroes involved in this conflict
against the villain Moro.
Piccolo is meditating trying to find the Namekians through telepathy and can't find them as he
senses there is something incredibly wrong right now in the Universe.
The bandits land but with Piccolo's keen senses he arrives
to greet them to see if they had anything to do with this Universal conflict.
They show some interesting powers but of course are no match for the
Super Namekian who's power and abilities can easily defeat them.
Piccolo wants only one thing and it was to find out the source of what is going on which
he thinks they have nothing to do with.
Then Bulma shows up at the look out and is speaking with Jaco who is looking to recruit
Piccolo and tells them exactly what is going on.
So he hopes to recruit not just Piccolo but Gohan
Krillin, Tien and Earth's heroes in order to fight Moro in this Universal conflict while
Goku and Vegeta train.
The convicts almost escape as Piccolo didn't see them as a threat but Dende arrives to
let him know they are scouts for the evil villain Moro.
It's too late though a distress message was sent
and now Moro knows that if there are powerful forces there, then he might want to visit
and absorb the planet.
So a more powerful scouter group is being dispatched.
What would be great is to see Moro's elites who he gave power too head
to Earth and battle against our Heroes to get them involved into the story.
This is where we can actually get everyone involved in this one and I
hope they recruit android 17 again as well.
This Arc is shaping up to be a monster of a story.
Finally the chapter ends with revealing some more about Merus as they headed to a secret
location where Goku could train.
I love how this panel is worded, as the forces of darkness encroach upon
Earth, Goku and Merus begin training....
Now we get into something that I already did a very detailed video on of Merus true identity
and if you haven't seen it yet it goes into detail everything
we know about Merus up to this point and explains the source of his mysterious powers.
Here more is revealed that we already knew if you have been following that video and
Goku soon finds out.
While trying to attain Ultra Instinct again he just isn't getting it, He claims he has
to empty his heart and mind for that move to work, but when I'm fighting my emotions
are all over the place.
Which Merus corrects Goku, No, it's not quite that simple.
Rage, grief, joy, those strong emotions can translate to prodigious power.
Just like your super saiyan transformation.
Which Goku says yeah that one is triggered by rage.
However the technique you are after is the opposite!!
It will activate when you achieve self control in the face of a jarring shock to your emotions.
Such is Ultra Instinct!!!
Now it is officially confirmed that Merus knows Ultra Instinct and has been keeping
it a secret for good reason.
Then Merus tells Goku after having no doubts about him
we must enter a special room to continue their training.
It's a room of spirit and time which Goku is very familiar with but in this room every
day that passes on the outside gives them 3 days in there.
Goku who thinks that the extra time is helpful but wishes there was more like the time chamber
he is used too.
Which is where we get the best dialog yet from Merus.
While the time dilation is helpful, the fact that this space is sealed off
from the world is just as important.
It's because he can unleash his full power without anyone finding out!
Merus finally now is able to get serious and will impart all he knows to Goku and
states it won't be easy.
Goku excited is now ready for the real training to begin.
Now I encourage you to watch my Merus True Identity Explained video which documents and
goes into just how he could of easily defeated Moro and chose not too.
How Merus actually has the power very similar to an Angel.
Now that it is confirmed that he knows Ultra Instinct and really is concealing all his
power.
What does this really mean?
Now in that video I did use a picture of Merus that an artist made where he has green
hair but that isn't what Merus officially looks like.
So some fans were thrown off by his green hair and his look which means he can't be
an Angel.
Keep in mind since we are talking about the Manga
there are a lot of artist coloring pictures how they feel these characters should look
since the Manga isn't in color.
However when we look at the official Jump magazine drawling of Merus on
the front his hair is greyish and more importantly his eyes are the exact same color of the angels.
Now the evidence is extremely compelling that indeed Merus somehow is actually an Angel
but why hide everything and why did he appear now.
In my Merus video I did explain why he didn't defeat Moro and actually helped him escape
from prison.
There is a direct link between Moro and Merus which is why Merus is now on the Galactic
Patrol and why Moro was able to escape.
Is it possible Merus is a fallen Angel?
Is it possible that long ago since Moro is ancient and millions of years old, that he
also was once a God of Destruction?
Could these two be setting in motion something very important that reveals
the origins of the Angels and a plan to change the God Hierarchy?
I think next chapter we will find out as Goku's training is about to get extremely
intense.
If you been following my videos we always knew there was more to Merus and Moro's story
and finally we are starting to get into just what that actually is.
I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend and please check out some of my other videos
in the Deep information stories play list I have.
I have covered a few stories about the relationship between Beerus and Moro.
Merus true identity and how other characters like Frieza will be involved in this Arc.
As of now the hype is real and think this story has really developed into
something that could be just an amazing Arc for all us fans.
Hope you enjoyed this Manga chapter 52 as much as me and how I went over this chapter
with you.
