Oh yeah, absolutely. And in doing so, he went from a beautiful, angelic looking God of Creation, to looking like a crazed, warped, Frankenstein-looking monster. And that's the symbolism they were playing with, I think.GodVegetto91 wrote:However, the fact that Merged Zamasu was able to keep up with Vegito then PROVES that he got an extremely huge boost from that lightning. Since earlier he lost to Goku, and now he was keeping up with Vegito initially. And we all know how much of a boost a potara fusion brings to Goku.
Really, if there's anything that hurts Episode 66 more than anything, it's how...rushed it felt. There was a heck of a lot packed into it, with both Vegetto vs. Fused Zamasu AND Trunks's final victory having to share the same 20 minutes of screentime. And while I think they did decently with what they had, the writers still didn't have enough time to make either fight live up to their full potential.
I can easily see the tail-end of Episode 66 being all about how Vegetto is pwnstomping Fused Zamasu, even ending with the Final Kamehameha. Episode 67 rolls around, everyone's standing around thinking they've won...then Zamasu comes spewing out (and I mean literally spewing out). And boy, he's not lookin' good. He's lost entire chunks of his body, he's got a steady trickle of goop melting off of his face, and now you can even the outlines of his skull becoming much more prominent.
At that point, he goes all "Behold! This is a God! To all who glories, glory in this! The Forever Zamasu!" (or something)...at which point, Vegetto keeps hitting him. And hitting him. And hitting him. And hitting, and hitting, and hitting, and hitting, and yada yada yada. No matter what he tries, though, Zamasu just keeps coming back. He comes back looking uglier, sure; but he's still not dying!
Cue Vegetto running out of time earlier than expected, and cue Trunks pulling out his last ditch attack; the Spirit Bomb. He learned it from Gohan (who learned it from Goku), but never used it on account of it being too weak under normal circumstances. But this time, it's just the technique for the job! The problem isn't that Zamasu is too strong. No, Vegetto's already beaten him into the ground enough that his power and body have been thoroughly broken. No, the problem is KILLING him. And that's why Trunks needs a technique that can kill Zamasu WITHOUT killing all the people he's trying to protect!
Hence a huge glowing Spirit Bomb, gathered from the hope, spirit, and kindness of every person Trunks has ever known. A sphere of godly blue light that smites the wicked, but will never harm the innocent. And with it, he throws it into the ground, creating a large enough explosion that it vaporizes every last speck of Zamasu! BOOOM!!!
And that's how you'd do it. Vegetto's power was what made Zamasu vulnerable; but it was the "Power of the Human Spirit" (TM) that ultimately finished the job. because at the end of the day, the arc doesn't just need a logical finishing point. It needs to end in a way that's emotionally fulfilling, as well.
