If anything this proves why the Time Patrol is necessary. Even the Omni-King's power doesn't extend across timelines, so there's really no one else who can pilice that poo poo.

If they stay in the present there are also going to be two Trunks and Two Mais so it isn't like that really is any different but at least this way they get to see their friends and family in a form they remember instead of as little kids or complete strangers.

I really love that Goku stole God from one timeline and brought him to another so now his universe has double-Gods.

I mean, isn't the actual solution just to go to the future, gather the super dragonballs and wish everyone back?

And I was a little bothered about Zamasu continuing to live, but they completely nailed the landing with Trunks seeing Gohan still alive in this world and being reminded of everything that he's done and everyone he's saved.

It's more surprising that there is a separate Omni-King for each timeline more so than anything else. I'm sure if Zamasu can do time shenanigans so can Zen-Oh, but the button Goku has is localised so it didn't call his. Does this mean that a branching timeline also creates a whole new set of unaltered universes as well...?

This would appear to be the case. So far we've seen no entity that's truly beyond time line fuckery in Dragon Ball.

I'm kinda ok with that, honestly. It helps give some perspective as to why time fuckery is a Huge loving Deal and why it took Trunks' adventures to truly drive Zamasu over the edge.

Kaioshin of Time has jurisdiction over multiple timelines at least, but maybe when they create a new SKoT via ningens messing with time she just finds the alternate versions and they voltron together or something.

Yes. This means that Bulma has the power to create universes and Gods. She is stronger than any kaioshin.

Turns out we've never seen the same SKoT twice, every single scene with her is a completely different SKoT handling things. They just keep it quiet because it means they all barely have to do any work.

What was Zamasus stance on the after life? Did he care about filthy ningen in the afterlife? It seems to me like he was leaving that alone, so all of the Earth people killed by Black/Zamasu would still "exist" in the after life of that universe. Right? Even if they can't be wished back Trunks would still get to see his mom/Gohan/whatever when he died.

So, when Zeno erases a universe, does he erase the after life too? Seems like it. This means their solution didn't just kill all of the humans in Trunks timeline, it double killed them destroying their souls forever. Majin Buu threatened to double kill some people, but this arc really followed through on it. If the people of Earth had not helped Trunks, Zamasu would have won. Zamasu would have made a nice cabin in the woods and lived in peace, and the filthy ningen souls could exist in the afterlife. The people of Earth helped erase their own existence.

I mean, the universe is still there or else they couldn't have time traveled back to it. zeno just blew up earth and killed zamasu 'cause gently caress that guy. so really they just stole that whole multiverse's omni-god, thus completing zamasu''s god murder spree for him

Josuke Higashikata

This is definitely going to have repurcussions later on and I can't wait.

Like was pointed out in a show a bunch, Zen-Oh's an innocent kinda guy but he's not someone you want to upset and seems a bit precious and ridiculously powerful to go with. And there are two of him.

What the hell are they going to do when the Zen-Oh's fall out with each other like Beerus and Champa???


On top of all that, I guess the old "Toriyama can't settle on having one ultimate god of them all" thing came true in the least expected sense.

I don't think he just blew up the Earth. When Goku gets there Zeno is floating around in a weird void that does not look like normal space. I'm pretty sure he destroyed the entire universe, he had to because fart-zamasu.jpg was becoming everything.

what a weird rear end episode

is future trunks' timeline just completely empty and hosed forever now? no ningens. no gods. what the gently caress was their zen-chan doing all this time? sitting in that palace all alone?

You thought Future Trunks was finally gonna have a legit good ending, but it was I, ZAMASU!

I'm kinda meh on this. They should've ended the arc last episode, it kinda felt like an unnecessary "gently caress you" to the first legit achievement in Super. Still, I'll count that poo poo as a Trunks win and Gigyasu as nuclear fallout. Plus, Zeno is still the best even though he destroyed an entire universe and now there are TWO of him! It also doesn't REALLY destroy the message of "mortals need to learn how to handle their poo poo", I feel. Trunks barely missed it, and Zeno showed that you probably don't wanna have to hit him up because he'll just wipe everything out.

Gohan's scene right at the end was nice too. Poor Trunks needs to constantly be reminded of his failures, but his pals know he's trying his best.

Xeno1's end sequence had you in a similar space near the end(Only the colour was slightly green rather than straight blue), so I think you're on to something.
