'Dragon Ball Super' chapter 53 release date, predictions, spoilers: Merus holds the key to defeating Moro

Moro, the main villain in the ongoing Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, proves that Goku and Vegeta have more room for improvement. They have yet to find a way to fight and outsmart Moro, but the latest manga events suggest that Merus could be the key to bringing Moro to justice. Hopefully, “Dragon Ball Super” chapter 53 will reveal more about the dedicated Galactic Patrolman.

‘Dragon Ball Super’ chapter 53 predictions: How Merus can he help Goku in defeating Moro?

Merus is becoming one of the important characters in the ongoing story arc. Vegeta was impressed by his speed, and Merus always seemed to have this natural response during combat that allows him to anticipate his opponent’s attacks. These are some of the factors that make him the strongest of Galactic Patrolman, but previous events hinted that he seemed to be holding back or hiding his full potential. That will likely change in “Dragon Ball Super” chapter 53 after he mentioned he is fully trusting Goku now and will impart to him everything he knows.

Goku was struggling in the early scenes of their training because he believed he needed to shut out all his emotions during a fight. Merus then explained Goku must focus on learning self-control before revealing that he knew the Saiyan’s goal in this training is to master the Ultra Instinct transformation. Goku was surprised Merus knew about it, but they were both happy to realize they are on the same page coming into “Dragon Ball Super” chapter 53.

The development from last month’s installment suggests that Merus is important in unlocking the requirement for Goku to defeat Moro, and that requirement is UI. “Dragon Ball Super” chapter 53 will likely focus on Merus and Goku’s training and might even show the latter gaining some improvements. But it might be too early for the duo to achieve their ultimate goal for the training in that short period.

‘Dragon Ball Super’ chapter 53 release date: New chapter arrives very soon

While Goku and Merus might spend a few more chapters in training, it would be amazing to learn more about the latter’s real power. Also, “Dragon Ball Super” chapter 53 will likely give updates on Vegeta’s training in Yardrat, where he is also going to learn to control his ki/spirit to develop a new technique.

It is almost certain that the next big fight scenes will take place on Earth between Moro and Piccolo, which could begin in “Dragon Ball Super” chapter 53 as well. The next chapter will be officially released on Oct. 20.
