don't worry your character has a chance to forget the seal or pot. the chance is based on a hidden intelligence stat

There will have to be a challenging mini game where you aim the person into the jar, and if you miss you waste all of your energy.

Personally I'm hoping they get Jerry Jewell as Zamasu.

Googling DB Super episode titles will usually bring recent results up in the news section, and if it doesn't, you can just use the search preening tools to make only recent results show up.

They're all generally shakily sourced until someone uploads photos of TV listings though. Most of these leaks have been historically accurate so there's not a huge reason to doubt them. I believe the origin for this is 2ch, via @Herms98 on twitter who translates cool DB stuff quite a lot.

It's from Toei's official DBS site

Timeline 1:
The original timeline with no alterations. In this timeline Goku is killed by heart disease. The Androids rampage, Future Trunks goes back in time. He returns with the Android self destruct device and then is killed by Cell who steals his Time Machine.

Timeline 2:
The unseen timeline where the Androids are defeated but Cell never shows up. Created by the dead Trunk's time travel.

Timeline 3:
The main DBZ timeline. Cell travels back in time and so does Trunks. Cell becomes perfect, is defeated, Trunks goes home. This timeline continues onward until Dragonball Super. Partway through Super Zamasu murders his mentor and then steals Goku's body and kills Goku, becoming Goku Black.

Timeline 4:
Future Trunks from Timeline 3's timeline. He goes back home, kills the Androids and Cell, beats Babadi, and then Goku Black from Timeline 3 shows up to ruin his day. He goes back in time again.

Timeline 5:
The "Super" Timeline, created when Trunks goes back to get help, presumably will be the main timeline from now on.

Presumably there are tiny offshoot timelines created each time Timeline 5 uses the time machine too.

Was it ever established whether time traveling Black appeared in the timeline to fight Goku that lead to Zamasu killing Gowasu and becoming Black?

Man these are some FF1!Garland "2000 years from now, you killed me" type sentences.

It doesn't seem like it.

I may be wrong but I think everything in Goku Black's timeline went as it did normally except there was no Future Trunks arc and since Trunks and Goku Black never showed up Zamasu basically did everything without getting caught.
In theory Beerus destroying Zamasu should have erased the Goku Black timeline but because he is wearing the time ring he's immune to that.

Time travel is confusing.

We don't know yet, but it's shown they still fought at some point, but it was expedited by the appearance of Black Goku which expedited his plans to kill all humans(mortals)

nah, they would always not have the seal. your character has to hold the jar shut for as long as their stamina lasts, and it steadily does damage until it breaks.

Just set it so it can only be used if the enemy is below a certain health or power level. That way you can instantly use it on mooks below your level (if Xenoverse doesn't do level scaling I guess) and have to wear down enemies closer to your level before using it as a finisher.

you start out by taking a pot out. you hold it over your head and have to find a safe place to drop it, but if it gets broken the move fails

then you use it and it goes into a big, long animation and at the end the person in the pot pops out like nothing happened and the fight continues normally

This would be a fun way to do it, just a fancy looking super move where you and your opponent are both frantically mashing buttons to keep them trapped/escape from the jar

The best part of the Mafuba setup was two episodes ago where Piccolo jumps up eager to show that he can still be relevant just as Goku disappears and Bulma's all condescending like "Well you can still show us!". But the fact that he went ahead and showed them the technique after that was even funnier.

Within Piccolo rages a war between emo Piccolo, stoic Nail and the same Kami that possessed that weird little man who took a junk shot at Yamcha during the World Martial Art's Tournament. They really do need to show the more goofy side of his personality a bit more, I loved that scene too.

I cannot tell the difference between the winners and the losers. I haven't gone through them all yet (I probably won't) but they are all equally terrible. At best, the first place winner looks like a failed pilot for an early oughts adult swim cartoon.

I personally disagree with a lot of their rankings. I thought that the Star Trek one was top 10 material but not #1. I thought the btas one should've won.

I didn't care for most of the anime abridges. Seems like undue weight was put on the subject material and technical competency versus actual skill.

Although maybe this was a secret recruitment project and they're geniuses

It normally would not have caused a break but it did because Zamasu put the Time ring on.

That kind of makes sense. But I'm still not clear on something.

In order for Zamasu to switch bodies with Goku, he needs to have known of Goku or met him before. Goku does meet him, but only after Black followed Trunks into Goku's timeline. This third time line, which has been destroyed, doesn't say when and where events happened for Goku to have met Zamasu, only that it was reorganized into the remaining time lines.

I think that means the Dragon Ball universe doesn't exactly care about chicken and the egg problems once a time line that affects another goes away?

It could be that Zamasu's existence is being protected solely by the timering and it still being on his finger is the only reason he still exists, albeit there must have been a timeline at some point where he fought Goku, but did not get annihilated by Beerus.

Zamasu-times-two is going to be defeated either because Bulma's special bullet that Mai fired damaged Black's Potara, they pull the time ring off his finger (or chop it off), or Zeno shows up and Nope's him out of existence.
