So I wonder what the deal with Black Goku's earrings are.

Are they potara earings? Maybe he's trying to fuse with the Gokus from different timelines or something. Like I really doubt he's the Goku that died of the heart virus and was somehow resurrected.

I'm willing to stake that it's some one of the demons, like the kai-level ones, who fuses with Goku and takes over as the dominant side. Probably in an attempt to gain power somehow, because we all know Goku outclasses most of the celestial bureaucracy in terms of raw power, Beerus and Whis being the obvious exceptions.

Maybe there's some foul play at the upcoming pan-universal tournament and some evil schmuck from Universe 9 or whatever decides he (because it's always a he) wants more power, so he universe-hops back with Goku and earrings him unawares.

If Super was more dumb fanfic nonsense like this I'd have been on board long ago

Super is pretty much all dumb fanfic nonsense. That's why everything that's not a retelling of a movie is so good (outside of the last couple of episodes).

Sean Schemmel is able to do dumb hick Goku perfectly fine, rewatch Battle of Gods if you need to

I've seen it relatively recently and I just don't think he does. He's good at doing the punchguy-heroic element of Goku and a good voice actor but as I said I don't think he captures that element at all. You're free to disagree and I'll gladly check out clips I may have missed that show it off better than I remember!

Eh, we'll have to agree to disagree on that. I don't think he's done a great job of that element of Goku and honestly I feel like the dub mostly exercised it entirely. (It isn't just him, Chi-Chi is the same way where she's just Angry Wife in the dub.) I doubt anyone who only watched the dub would tell you Goku and his wife were basically Country Folk.

Chi-Chi is p much just stereotypical portrayal of an overbearing japanese wife/mom in the Japanese version too.


As someone's who's watched both the Dub and Sub of this dumb show so many times, there really isn't much of a difference in portrayal of the characters.

The most notable thing to take away at the moment is that they're the same as Demigra's from Heroes/Xenoverse etc.

Toriyama has clearly just lifted the plot of Jet Lis "The One". Black Goku is going from universe to universe using potaras to fuse with all of the alternate Gokus, in order to become the strongest fighter in all of existence!

I feel like, especially as of now, he's really good at nailing the idiot side of Goku. He just feels more dumb fightman than country hick.

I think the writers of Z didn't fully embrace the dumb hick side like they did when Kai rolled around. In Z he was that world's Superman. In Kai he becomes dumb but kindhearted punchman.

Mai's looking great for someone who's like 60. Not as good as Bulma's hot mom though, who's like 80 or so.

Bulma probably has to notice that Trunks' Girlfriend looks exactly like the chick that stole the Dragonballs from her as a teenager. She's gonna be so disappointed in Trunks for dating a villian.

You can see both sides of Black Gokus face in this pic. Hes wearing only a single fusion earring. Might mean he actually is some kind of amalgam Goku, stealing alternate Gokus for power.

When I noticed the episode was called "Temple of Trunks", I expected a Bubba Trunks reference, unless I missed it, as I haven't visited the site in over 10 years. I remember thinking that the action figure photos they being amusing to my younger self in 1999/2000. I doubt they've aged well though. It does make me feel a bit old though.

I enjoyed the episode, hopefully Tien and Piccolo keep their commentary going during the Cell Games.
