Warning! Spoilers for Dragon Ball Super's 105th episode lie below!

Goku is still getting used to his Super Saiyan God powers, and Dragon Ball Super just showed fans how much the hero has to learn about his power-up. The anime's most recent episode saw Goku debut a new power whilst in his Super Saiyan Blue form, and it has brought about some major questions.

Dragon Ball Super's 105th episode debuted the weekend, and fans were forced to watch as Master Roshi took a step into the afterlife. The elder won a grueling match against Ganos in the Tournament of Power, but the skirmish drained Roshi of all his energy. The man collapsed once the battle ended, and Goku was desperate to bring his mentor back to life.

At first, Goku approaches Roshi whilst still in his Super Saiyan Blue form. The Saiyan tries to use ki bursts on his comrade as a sort of makeshift defibrillator, but the method doesn't appear to work. Goku panics since he knows Roshi is without a pulse, and the hero's desperation appears to unlock a new power. With Krillin tearing up on the sidelines, Goku digs deep into his ki and pulls out something fans hadn't seen before.

Using his Super Saiyan Blue form, Goku switches from using regular ki blasts to something a lot more powerful. The hero harnesses the god ki that is created from his Super Saiyan God status, and Goku appears to suffuse Roshi with the power.

Fans watched as Goku poured his god ki into Roshi, and they were left out-of-the-loop after the fighters were bathed in a blue light. When the aura disappeared, Goku reverted to his base form after performing the powerful move. As for Roshi, the elder came to and even asked where all the pretty angels around him went. Goku was quick to embrace his mentor after seeing the man was alright, but fans were left to ponder over Goku's power.

Goku's revival of Roshi is not the strange event which fans can't stop talking about; After all, the hero managed to orchestrate his own resurrection using ki before the 'Universal Survival' arc began. The odd part of Goku's interference is in how he manipulated his god ki. The hero's Super Saiyan God powers are largely untested outside of battle. There is no telling how Goku could manipulate his powerful new ki considering it is capable of resurrecting humans from the dead. So, it's no surprise to hear that fans really want Goku to test out his Super Saiyan God powers more thoroughly now that the Tournament of Power is in full swing.
