Considering Zamasu gets Goku's body, it's not surprising he would eventually know his full name and at least some of his memories, going by the fact that recognized Vegeta.
Are we forgetting that Zamasu, before becoming Black, goes to ask Mr Know's Everything to tell him all about Goku?
I did forgot that. :lol:

Really looking forward to hearing some of Zamasu's big speeches from him... you know, without crappy no-context video game directing this time.
Probably helps that this is his first anime dub.

...That's not how the body swap works. That's not even how Ginyu's body swap worked. The fact that he recognizes Vegeta doesn't make any sense. He has control over Goku's body & Goku's Saiyan genes apparently affect his mind a bit, but he wouldn't gain his memories, otherwise he'd know how to go Super Saiyan (which he did in the manga, but this is the anime's continuity here).

P.S. Imagine the way Han says "that's not how the Force works" for that first sentence of the second response, if you would.

He knows about Vegeta for the same reason he knows about Blue, he saw them being used on Godtube. Also, technically, didn't he kill Vegeta in his timeline?

He killed Chichi & Goten, but I don't think it's said if he killed anyone else. As far as we know, he hijacked Goku's body, transported to Earth to kill them, transported back to his realm, stole a Time Ring, & went to Trunks' future timeline. Not much else before that.

I still feel like their is some stuff that wasn't shown on screen. I'm sure Zamasu wouldn't be stupid enough to at least find out who the remaining powerful Saiyans are, especially, if they do in fact work in close quarters to the Gods.

Also, Trunks is Vegeta's son, I think that could also explain it.

This was a major plot point... I mean, I know it was immediately followed with Black murdering Chichi and Goten, but come on, guys! :D
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Zamasu knows Vegeta through God Tube and all the information Zuno provided him with.

I don't watch the full episodes, but I keep up with spoilers & watch clips on YouTube.

I remember that, just not the part about Zuno. I haven’t been keeping up with the dub and I only saw the episode when it first aired so a lot of details are hazy.

Goku and Beerus are something else, Whis crash landing on purpose 'cuz of their bickering and Goku casually trying to steal his food :lol:

Also re-watching this arc is so much better than I remember! And I found it to be pretty good back in JPN broadcast.

Which doesn't mean they won't have Zamasu scream it.
It is quite senseless to make an exception for episode 66. It's not like people remember that scene because Zamasu screamed 'Son Goku' as opposed to just 'Goku', they remember that scene because of Miki's astonishing voice acting.
Like I said, they did it before for Goku's Super Saiyan speech. He called himself Son Goku

That is the most iconic scene in the entire franchise so it's different, and they never did it in Super anyway. That has nothing to do with 'Zamasu knowing Goku's full name'; even Chi Chi or Krillin know Goku's full name, yet they never called him 'Son Goku' in the Super dub, therefore it is for consistency's sake.

He knows Goku's full name. He knows everything about Goku, he researches this before he decides to steal his body

I know very well that Zamasu is aware of Goku's real name, that has nothing to do with the subject. Chi Chi and Bulma also know about Goku's real name, and have called him 'Son Goku' several times in the Super sub, yet they never did in the Super dub, so why would they make an exception for episode 66? It makes no sense at all. Either you aknowledge that Goku's full name is Son Goku since episode 1 of Super, or you don't at all.

They'd make an exception if they thought the scene was awesome or iconic, like they did with the SS Goku speech. That's the point. Like how they want to give Black an accent when he goes Rose, despite Zamasu not having an accent at all. Consistency doesn't matter if it sounds cool, Funimation has always operated by that rule
Not saying he'll say it for sure, but don't rule it out

So new DBS movie. I know FUNi have dubbed Fairy Tail new content while behind on the main anime and same for One Piece I believe so them dubbing the new movie next year (or hopefully December) doesn't seem out the question to be honest.

I'd hate it if they were restricted on dubbing the movie while the dub catches up. But given OP is a Toei property I feel less worried about that.
