Dragon Ball Super Hints at Merus' Big Secret

Dragon Ball Super's Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc introduced fans to one of the most skilled members of the Galactic Patrol, Merus. He got attention from fans pretty early on for surprisingly getting the upper hand on Goku and Vegeta with his strange tactics and evasive maneuvers. There have been several debates among we as to the nature of his power, and whether or not introducing someone with this much skill was another example of the series boosting new characters in order to compete with Goku and Vegeta. But the latest chapter of the series might be bringing this all full circle.

 The Chapter 52 of the series sees Goku and Merus go fully into their training in order for Goku to better tap into Ultra Instinct, and the end of the chapter teases that Merus has been hiding a huge secret from everyone as he teases that he has yet to unleash his full power and even needed to be sealed away in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to do so.

Chapter 52 of the series has the two of them enter the chamber, and Merus says that this will be a helpful space because not only will it buy the two more time for training but he'll be able to use his full power "without anyone finding out. That  Naturally this excites Goku as Merus will now teach everything but this is certainly eyebrow raising for fans.

The fact that Merus is able to counter every one of Goku's moves in this training without even breaking a sweat. He somehow knows all about the Ultra Instinct technique, and even reveals the key to better mastering it. While Merus' battle skills might have seemed like a plot convenience at first, it seems that he is hiding a major secret that it could turn everything around.
