So, what I'm thinking about what's up with Zamasu in the preview, is that Vegito removes his Time Ring somehow. It was the only thing causing Black to not go poof in a cloud of causality. But, now he's fused with his other self, who happens to be immortal. Without the ring, the fused being the Potara created is someone that doesn't exist, yet simultaneously is immortal and can not die. So, now his body is going crazy because he has become a living paradox.

I like this idea. Having Zamasu turn into the bad guy at the end of Timecop would be a pretty cool idea if his paradox protection is gone.

It comes from the Japanese pronunciation of Kakarot. Vegeta + Kakarotto. Unfortunately the word play was a bit lost in the English translation from back in the day since Goku's original Saiyan name was merely localized as Kakarot.

The Viz manga tried to preserve this wordplay by making it "Vegerot" (Vegeta + Kakarot), though personally I think it sounds tacky.


That makes sense. Well, mostly. I still think it's weird that the name is Vegito, instead of Vegeto or Vegotto, since the i in Vegito kind of comes from nowhere and doesn't roll off the tongue as naturally. At least to me.

I'm also going to go ahead and say after this episode that I'm disappointed it'll be Vegito instead of Gogeta, for several reasons. Mostly because Trunks and Vegeta talked about how they'd show Zamasu the power of mortals in a big scene this episode, so having the fusion be a God originated one instead of a mortal technique that has much the same effect would seem more appropriate. That, and as I said previously, having them use the fusion dance would probably annoy the hell out of Zamasu for that exact reason, which seems more fun frankly. It'd also be nice to see something from the movies (and GT) canonised, but that's a minor factor compared to the other two.

The problem with Gogeta is that it's an established plot point that powering up burns through your fusion time and SSBSS probably would let them remain fused for .2 seconds.

That's because the actual romanization is Vegetto, not Vegito. "Vegito" is the English dub being incredibly weird about how it romanizes things, like "Frieza".

This is also Dragon Ball, where continuity for details like that is less important than being cool/fun, and I'm pretty sure it's also been established that going SSB has a high initial cost but takes very little to actually stay in - so having Gogeta get 20 minutes (or however long they want to claim the fight is) fusion time is doable regardless.

a time limit against an immortal guy (and a shorter than normal one followed up by a recovery period) isn't very useful.

It doesn't really come from nowhere. He's more Vegeta than Goku and Vegeta calls him Kakarot(rotto in Japanese, which is where the to comes from). So mostly Vegeta and with some Goku in the name makes a lot of sense.

Even though it's awful, the most accurate way to translate that is probably Viz's Vegerot, but that is just terrible.


Also makes sense that Vegetto* is the fusion they went with when this has been an arc about Trunks and his father as much as anything else.

*It's the name I grew up with so I'm sticking with this.

I don't see how that matters narratively. I can see how it matters strategically if you were trying to plot out your best chance, but not narratively, which is more important frankly.

You really think Zamasu is gonna let them fusion dance, when you just saw him basically going gently caress ya'll I'm done?

I mean yeah he fell for the Evil Containment Wave because he was like silly rear end ningen can't do poo poo and it nearly ended him. Sides I think it's way better that he gets infuriated that an "inferior" mortals use the same technique on him and whip his rear end.

^^^The Mafuba isn't complex moves, it's a battle of will, Trunks was able to get that poo poo down fast because he really hates the dude who's been genociding his world even worse than the androids did and who literally murdered his mother in front of him.

The Mafuba still required the correct poses. Just like a fusion dance. The dance has more of them, but I don't doubt Vegeta can pick them up fast while Trunks distracts Zamasu. Besides, he's literally already learned it probably non-canonically in the space of a few minutes in Fusion Reborn, whilst hiding from Janemba with no distraction. Pikkun eventually provided one so that they could do the dance a second time, but they were solo the first time.

It's not just something the Gods have, it's something the Gods are willingly offering to mortals. Zamasu was never deemed fit to be granted any powerful artifact, he had to steal them. And those filthy mortals just receive them as a gift??

The big contribution to his personality from Vegeta is an insane ego, so I expect him to throw out lots of taunts at least. I can't imagine him screwing around and being more of a troll than in the Buu fight though, that's a very high bar to surpass.

I kind of wish we got a Vegeta/Trunks or Trunks/Goku fusion instead, power wise it'd be lower but it'd be fun to see. Hard to argue with raw unfiltered fanservice though.
