There was a verson of Superboy who got so angry he punched dimensions and altered time so Goku has some ways to go.

We already had Gotenks scream across dimensions back in Buu saga.

he should be 27 but 2 years in the time chamber puts him at 29/30 yea.

e: Apparently he's not 18 in DBZ? DBZA hosed me. So he's 32 if you include the time chamber years.

That kinda changes stuff, I figured he was in his early 20s for some reason so I thought all the family stuff was like "think of your future beyond fighting" and now it's more like "you're no spring chicken, Trunks, make children already"

How old is Gohan in Super? Like, he should be 20 years old at most, right?

According to the wiki, Goku was born in 737 and Battle of Gods took place in 778, which would make him 41. Sure there are a couple extra years because of the time chamber, but Goku isn't really that old.

But yeah, color me surprised. I figured he was in his early 20s. Christ, being Trunks is loving hard, man.

Going by those numbers there's a 4 year gap between Buu saga and BoG? former taking place in 774 and latter in 778 but i'm pretty sure it's mentioned that the gap is shorter, somewhere saying it's a year and i think the Super anime mentioned months?

Either way Gohan would be born in 757 while Videl was born in 756 and they met in highschool at 774 at 17 and 18 respectably, so Gohan should be 23 at the very most if you count his extra year
edit: oh derp, then there's the extra year 'till RoF, and now everything's caught up, so yeah, 24 if the four year gap the wikia mentions is real.

Man that episode of Super was amazing. Animation was great, stakes are high and the good guys get humbled by a villain which has been lacking since god knows. That Omni King episode has me worried we're going to get some deus ex machina poo poo and Goku calling for his 'friend' to help out and finishing them off to a wet fart though.

Can I make a baseless prediction? The Potara earrings are going to come into play with either Goku/Vegeta or Black/Zamasu. Hope they brought some senzu beans.

By the way, can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact that fuckin' Yajirobe survived in the Future Timeline? I always figured the Androids did him in, but he somehow is still kickin' around during Black's reign of terror.

I like to think that SSB is what happens when one trains with the God of Destruction, and SSR is what happens when trained by a Kaioshin. since they're different gods and whatnot

Except we already know what happens? Remember Gohan? His ultimate potential/"mystic" form after training with Old Kai?

I mean, new series new rules and all, but there's plenty of indications that at least in Universe 7, Whis et al are flat-out above the kaioshins power-wise.

Goku would absolutely never stand for that happening, so I don't think you really need to worry about him coming around.

fusioning up a Zamasu Black when things start going south for those two might make some sense

the series has really shied away from fusion so far other than gotenks, but from stuff like the Dragonball Fusions game it's clear that they know fans dig it

Unless Vegeta got everyone together to do the Super Saiyan God ritual for him instead then he trained real hard until he became a god.

"There is no God! Right, Mama?"

"True."


I think the gods(supreme kai/whiz/vados/king kai+other regional gods/zamasu+stupid elder god training him/king yemma/zenos' secretary+bodyguards) are all of the same "god race" that was created by zeno sama, they're mostly blue but different colors, pointy ears, random heights and weights. Earrings/halos being a seperate thing based on rank. They're all the same god "race" for the most part. I'm fairly sure they can't be replaced.

It seems like god of destruction/gods of each individual planet (beerus/champa/kami) are representatives of their dimension or planet respectively. Those are the only two that I think will ever be replaced by another race, imo.



Anyways, if Goku merged with Black would he become a well balanced, normal person? I would call him Gogokuku. or Glacko!

I'm almost 100% sure vegeta immediately got everyone back together for the super saiyan god ritual (maybe he waited till after pan was born because bulma yelled at him) and they just never felt like addressing this because the ritual thing was dumb and an artifact of an early version of the script anyway

Trunks kills Zamasu which kills Goku Black as they are the Kai/Destruction pair in that future.

Goku presses the button which summons the child emperor. He tries to make Black disappear but it doesn't work because he's a powerless figurehead.

Vegeta cries and retires having lost all dignity. Again.
