In episode 66 of Dragon Ball Super, Trunks gathers energy from the life forms
and forms a medium-sized Spirit Bomb while fighting Zamazu. I don't recall
Future Trunks seen Goku use Spirit Bomb in the anime, I'm not sure though. How
did he managed to do it if he didn't taught by anyone or possibly didn't even
seen or knew it in the first place? Moreover, he didn't even concerntrate to
gather the energy like Goku did everytime.

How did Future Trunks learn the Spirit Bomb Technique?


The answer is quite simple: **This is not the spirit bomb technique**.

Trunks' new form that is similar to the SSB is solely responsible for pulling
in all of that energy and enabling that new sword technique he used against
Zamasu.

Considering that we don't have a definition for this form we also don't know
it's limitations.

However, I speculate that the new form is a special form of SSB attained when
a half human half saiyan can clad themselves in god ki. Doing so enabled him
to pull on the ki of other humans to unite into his blade. Which worked
because humans are according to Zamasu "made in the image of gods".

That's only a theory but fact of the matter is that what we saw was not Trunks
using the spirit bomb.

There is one problem with your question: You think Trunks did a spirit bomb
technique. The fact is though that he did NOT do it.

The spirit bomb formed without HIS interference at all.

So what happened? Think about the spirit bomb when Goku uses it. He ASKS all
life forms to give him their energy. And they do it. That is when the spirit
bomb forms.

In this case though the people of earth put all their hopes, all their
strength into Trunks and wanted to support him in his last fight. So in
essence the "spirit bomb" was not formed by Trunks but by the people
themselves when they wanted to support him. As they "just" gave him their
energy (out of their own without a need to be asked).

Thus Trunks did nothing and there was no technique invovled. The spirit bomb
was just the gathering of all the energy the people gave up themselves to help
him.
