The Zenkai Boost finally gets an full explanation.
One simple line in Dragon Ball Super solved one of the plotholes that fans of the iconic franchise have been wondering about for decades: Saiyans' "zenkai boosts". Since as far back the Namek Saga of Dragon Ball the zenkai boost has been established as one of the Saiyans' unique powers, making them naturally become more powerful the more they fight. However, almost from the very introduction, the exact nature of the zenkai boost has been unclear and often contradicted itself.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT On Namek, the different explanations Vegeta gives to Freiza's minions at different points contain different details in how exactly the zenkai boost works. Vegeta's first explanation makes it sound more cultural than biological — Saiyans fight a lot and get experience that makes them strong, so they seek more fights for more experience.
Dragon Ball Super Explained Why Zenkai Boosts No Longer Happen Chapter #20 of Dragon Ball Super gives some clarification at last. During Vegeta's fight with Goku Black, Trunks and Mai watch as Vegeta fights at a disadvantage and rapidly lose ground. With Vegeta being repeatedly knocked down by Goku Black, Mai suggests repeatedly healing Vegeta with Senzu Beans to allow him to constantly heal and be empowered by the zenkai boost.
While the idea of Saiyans become stronger after surviving intense battles fits the Saiyan culture, the zenkai boost has proven a difficult thing to write around, and the near-disappearance of this ability after the Namek Saga created one of Dragon Ball's biggest plot holes. Throughout the series, the exact rules have been changed to fit the demands of the plot, or the concept has been abandoned altogether to prevent it from completely breaking the plot and making the Saiyans too powerful.
Goku And Vegeta Have Hit The Limit Of Their Physical Growth While it's likely that Akira Toriyama simply decided to phase out this power from the series due to the potential abuse it could cause, it's good that Dragon Ball Super decided to address the issue directly and in canon. It is also consistent with Vegeta's recent declaration that he and Goku have long since reached the limit of their physical growth, and now have to get stronger by other means.
