Are they the same person still, having different experiences?

See, that just makes it hotter to consider one way or the other.

Well, this is starting to get off topic. Have we heard anything new in regards to the Dragon Ball Magic rumors?

He started out as a narcissistic asshole and ended the story a narcissistic asshole but with more power and insanity
Its a negative character arc, he started out reluctant to carry out his deepest ideals and he most certainly only wanted select civilizations exterminated like the barbari. But by meeting Goku he was convinced that ALL mortals needed extermination.

You may think that those start and end points are the same, but if you look at it from the viewpoint of dragon ball hierarchy they are in fact different.
For what Zamasu wanted to be done to the barbari is not unlike what a destroyer would do, and we`re not calling them narcissistic are we? Zamasu honestly was just assigned the wrong position.
Better to have tried and failed

Zamasu started the story as a conflicted apprentice who didn't understand why mortals exist and ended the story as a crazy eldritch entity cackling maniacally in a Reality he purged of all mortals.

He has more character arc than the vast majority of the Dragon Ball villains that came before and after him.

Yes. Some people here seem to think that a villain has a character arc only if it is a "positive" one, where the villain changes for the better (like Piccolo, Vegeta, Majin Buu). But this is false, a villain can have a "negative" character arc too, and Zamasu had one. He goes from someone who thinks mortals are useless but doesn't really care to act, to a villain who actively despises mortals and decides to kill all of them by his own hand.

All of the antagonists of Super have their own character arc. The protagonists don't have much of a character arc by design, as Super is a midquel and the main characters still have to abide by their portrayal in the End of Z.

If Zamasu doesn't have a character arc, then neither do Frieza, Cell, and Super Buu. Frieza starts the story and ends the story as a genocidal evil tyrant who hates Saiyans. Cell starts and ends the story as a people-drinking freak who hates everyone. Super Buu starts and ends the story as a people-eating freak who hates everyone.

Once again, this current discussion doesn't seem to have anything to do with the original topic. In the meantime, this thread will be locked -- there is clearly nothing more to discuss at the moment. If that changes, a moderator will re-open the thread.
