So future trunks learned to use god ki right?

So future trunks in his fight against Goku black and zamasu learned to use god ki. I mean this ssj rage had the same blue aura as ssgss just used in a different way. I don't understand that people don't agree on this it was essentially half regular super saiyan half ssgss right ?

I don't see why not. Trunks made a few, other asspulls in both the anime & manga so him gaining God Ki is not impossible. Lavendar, Bergamo, and Basil also had God Ki IIRC.

We have absolutely no idea why his aura resembled SSGSS. Your interpretation isn't necessarily wrong because it was never explained so it is kind of completely left open to your personal interpretation.

Nope. The only indication of god ki is that their power can't be sensed and we were never given that vibe from Trunks. You could argue that with that form he was subconsciously learning to either tap into god ki from watching his dad and Goku (hence the half and half look) or it was a precursor to his Sword of Hope. Either works, it's not that big of a deal in the end.

This is the kind of thing that will probably only be answered in a databook or something.

Pure headcanon. That was never explained in the anime. Super Saiyan Rage is just a stupid asspull to let Future Trunks stand a chance against Zamasu, nothing more. Toei realized that they made Goku Black and Zamasu way too OP with their perfect coordination (they are the same person) and combo (Ultimate strength + Immortality), so they decided to give Trunks a power-up in the laziest possible way.

There is a good possibility.

Also I think this is one of things Vegeta tried to teach him in their training.

Nope. As far as we know, only Vegeta, Goku and Toppo had God Ki in the ToP.

Trunks having some degree of God Ki would explain hismassive improvement AND why he first bulk up but then slims down when goes SSAnger: he basically goes SS2-Grade3 bulking up, but the mixed up God Ki slims he down like he does in the SSG form. Nothing was ever stated about it, though

I'm not sure about the U9 guys having god ki, but to your initial point, I think if Trunks had God ki it would first off make sense and make the other horrendously bad asspulls much easier to digest. He really should have had it. He trained with a Kai, constantly fought a fallen Kai, and trained with his father who used SSB. With Trunks apparently being such a genius they could have easily explained that his continuous exposure to god ki allowed him an affinity with it, enough to actually use it on instinct to defend himself. An easy thing since Saiyans have such a haxxed out adaptive evolutionary ability. But Toriyama san passed on that easy field goal unfortunately.

*edit* some of this stuff is kind of implied though if we don't take the name of the form Super Saiyan Rage too literally.

He learned to use Toei Ki

A form of Ki which is mysteriously absent from the Super manga
