Wait, when in the timeline was this? Trunks is there so it's post-Frieza but I don't remember Piccolo dying between Frieza and fusing with Kami.

Oh and Krillin and 18 are the best.

18 spent all her screentime teasing Trunks, it was basically all I could have asked for. Trunks seeing her, Krillin, and Marron as one happy family was great too. :3:

The only bad thing is that it made me even more annoyed that Videl became such a nothing character, 18 is in a similar position that she's a warrior that's now a housewife but she oozes character! Sucks that Videl is just kinda there.

On who Black is

I don't think the cast is thinking 4 dimensionally. Zanmasu is Black but it's not the Zanmasu they've met, it's the one hardened by 30 years of hating mortals and deciding to take things into his own hands.

Dragon Ball Super is the best show because it's basically the ultimate fanfic.

And yeah, I agree that everyone isn't thinking 4th dimensionally at all. This meeting probably created Goku Black.

Everything changes, Pit.

I mean logically, the Goku Black of Future Trunks's time and the theoretical Goku Black of the 'normal' timeline are totally separate individuals in the same way that Trunks will never become Future Trunks but started from the same origin point.

But Goku is never going to understand time stuff that complex so hopefully Bulma or Trunks or Whis or someone else who's thinking with alternate timelines in mind figures it out.

After all, they dealt with this sort of thing before. Killing Cell before he was born in the present, but still having to deal with the time-traveling one.

So we can assume that in the Future Trunks timeline Zamasu will eventually become Black and go to the seventh universe and take Goku's body after learning he's the greatest warrior off-hand and just become a fight-loving mortal killer, but in our regular Super timeline he already is gonna be different because he's already met Goku, already knows what he's capable of to some degree. This means that all timelines are connected between universes, so the Future Trunks timeline isn't isolated to Universe 7 but all universes are time-connected, so if we assume Black Goku has killed mortals in other universes before reaching Future Trunks' Earth then it stands to reason that stopping him now will make the current timeline better for every single universe.

Holey Moley that's a way to escalate from having a planet's population being killed.

Zamasu probably just started getting corrupted as yellow dude mentioned, I bet with enough black tea swirls he'll become a sadistic fight-happy Black Goku in a few more years.

I did not at all get the impression that the older kaioshin is causing zamasu to be an rear end in a top hat

I think zamasu is just an rear end in a top hat

like judging from herms' summary zamasu is already on the verge of "gently caress mortals" and his master is trying to talk sense into him

Zamasu is very "i hate mortals, they're just idiots" and then his fight with Goku pushes him to add "and they can be dangerously powerful if left unchecked" which is not a positive change

I honestly don't know where things go from here though. the plan still seems to be returning with Trunks to the future timeline and defeating Black there, but that leaves present Zamasu to be dealt with too and gives him time to start doing some bad stuff while everyone's preoccupied

i wonder if this is going to tie into the multidimensional tournament arc, with Zamasu posessing someone other than Goku and entering it with the goal of killing the strongest warriors from across every universe? would be a pretty dragonbally thing to do

There's this one bit where the older kaioshin got a super shady look and thought to himself "lets see how much the corruption extends from fighting this mortal" or something like that, meaning he's aware of Zamasu's jerkness, but that combined with everyone going "the ki is similar but not quite the same" and Goku's "he didn't seem That bad, yet?" makes me think Zamasu has some kind of black corruption curse going on and the yellow man is "helping" him be nicer but really just feeding that corruption without Zamasu knowing.

Wouldn't be too shocked that defeating Black Goku leads to discovering that the culprit is either the Black ki itself after hopping bodies somehow or that the yellow man stole Zamasu's power thanks to the corruption and then took Goku's corpse for reasons, and whichever ends up being the case will lead to the whole gang going back to Universe 10 to try and stop the problem before it gets too strong.

Thanks, didn't know Xyro was out (honestly i dug Batman's typesetting way more, a plain font is the best)

Okay the episode is way different than what I saw, no corruption or anything, just Zamasu is a big jerk and will probably keep being a jerk until he's Black.

That was definitely a great episode. And yeah I don't think the yellow kaioshin is corrupting Zamasu at all. Dude was already being like yo gently caress mortals. I mean end of episode of we see the black tea swirl and dude is like already thinking of Goku in a negative way.

So that leaves us with the time rings. So I'm safe to assume that everyone is thinking Zamasu basically used the ring to go to an alternate time to kidnap Goku and force him into a fusion with the ear rings.

Cuz at first i"m like maybe he used Goku's dead body but that can't be considering how much time passed and Goku's body would rotting like hell by now.

So was anybody else expecting him to mention King Enma when he said who's the only one who can judge mortals?

They use "ningen" for mortals, yeah. IIRC, at any time the series wants to refer to humans in particular, it uses "chikyuujin"/"Earthling".

"Ningen" literally means "human" or "person" and in this context it's pretty obviously means "people, that are not gods" and the easiest way to convey that as a single word in English would be "mortal". But translators seem to be getting hung up on the fact that in a normal conversation between two real people it would never be used to mean "mortal", when they're translating a conversation between space aliens and space gods.

Ah ok that makes a lot of sense! I was a little confused by some of Blacks dialog, and obviously referring to Goku as a human. I wondered why Black cared about wiping out life on Earth specifically, when he didn't seem particularly familiar with it.
