Here's my theory:

Trunks is Vegeta's son so he has LOTS of Potential. Maybe more than even Gohan[ weirdly unlike Gohan, his potential was never discussed or shown]. Plus he's also a Hybrid.

Now what if Trunks actually broke through his Potential like UI Goku did? Its always shown that Rage can bring out potential power. Also, since Trunks was already a SSj, maybe his new power got adjusted into the SSj form instead of a new Silver eyed Transformation.

Thoughts?

It came out of nowhere, and it had better go without explanation, but if it needs one, then I had rather say that he inherited his father's enraged state, and brought it under control with a blue aura representing his calm spirit.

I simply think that Hybrid Saiyans have the potential to tap "rage"-based forms because they are more emotional psychologically than Pure Saiyans. Gohan was a great example of this in original DBZ, and I think it is no different from this case. What makes it so strange is that it's the first time we see Trunks like this, but the moment you realize all the crap he had to experience in his life, it is somewhat justified.

But that's just my two cents.

I think that we had better treat their abilities like they were character exclusive for the given moment instead of making a general rule. Trunks and Goten were also half-lings, but their potential was never spoken about, nor did future Trunks have a rage boost. It was something exclusive to Gohan, until it showed up on Vegeta, and it was passed on to his son. It's consistent with the way that DB Super portrays itself, as something that continues the original Dragon Ball manga, but works on its own as a separate product. The people who may have started with DB Super won't know about Gohan's early anger issues, because the only thing that has been consistently well written about him is Gohan's potential, as something that he could unleash through anger or by training. Given that, someone else had to take the mantle, for something that became a recurring theme - anger issues.

I think based on visuals, its a perfected USSJ state where he can have the power without losing speed

Gowasu implied by his question that Trunks power up was due to rage.

I've always liked the idea that it's the next level up from Vegeta's "mutated SSj2" during the fight with Beerus, since both are ludicrously huge rage-driven boosts in power that came seemingly out of nowhere. Maybe they're even forms exclusive to Vegeta's bloodline or something, since it does seem like they're now introducing unique forms for certain Saiyans what with the Broly-like one in the 6th Universe.

I’m pretty sure Gowasu would have said something if it was.
