Episode Summary

Angry at Goku Black and Zamasu’s words, Trunks has powered up into some strange new form. He declares that he will kill Black, though Black finds this idea absurd. While the new-and-improved Trunks is able to put up a surprisingly good fight against Black, he is still unable to defeat him.

For a brief moment it looks like Trunks is defeated by Black’s counterattack, but he gets back up again and rejoins the fight, firing off a Masenkō. He tells Vegeta to take Goku back to the past while he holds off Black and Zamasu. That way, Vegeta and co. can search for some other method of defeating these two.

Vegeta is reluctant, but this seems to be the only way. He tosses the bag of Senzu to Mai, who promises to look after Trunks, and has Bulma bring out the time machine. Black unsuccessfully tries to stop the time machine as it takes off, but the two are not very worried about the heroes’ escape. “They’ll be back before long.”

Goku and co. return to the present. Not seeing his future self, Kid Trunks assumes he stayed behind because the future is at peace now. Beerus brags that he really did change the future; they should have trusted more in his godly power! Bulma furiously corrects Beerus, who sheepishly says he had a feeling the future would not really change. Future Trunks’ explanation about multiple timelines made a lot of sense, after all!

Vegeta then explains the state of the future and Black’s true origin. With that mystery cleared up, Beerus figures the case is closed. He has already eliminated this world’s Zamasu, and other timelines are not his problem. He and Whis wish Goku and co. good luck, and depart.

Meanwhile, Chi-Chi and Gohan meet with Kuririn at his police station to ask if he knows where Goku is. He has not come home in ages! Kuririn wonders to himself if Goku’s gone to fight Black again, but does not want to worry Chi-Chi. Dodging the question, he takes off on his next patrol.

As Gohan reassures Chi-Chi that Goku will come home sooner or later, she sees Goten and Kid Trunks flying off together. The two have gone to Bulma’s to ask about joining the fight, but she warns them that they would be of no use against opponents that even Goku could not handle. Best to leave it to the grown-ups!

Chi-Chi and Gohan soon arrive at Bulma’s and ask about Goku. Bulma denies all knowledge, but Shuu, Piccolo, and Kuririn pop up saying things to further arouse Chi-Chi’s suspicions, until finally Goku himself comes out.

Chi-Chi is shocked to see Goku in bandages. While Goku eats her homemade bentō, the others fill Chi-Chi and co. in on the current situation. Hearing how formidable Black and Zamasu are now, Piccolo has one suggestion: the Mafūba (Demon Containment Wave)!

With the Mafūba, if they can get Zamasu and Black to stand still long enough, then they can seal them away. So long as nobody breaks the seal, the future will be at peace! Bulma thinks the time machine will not be ready again for at least half a day, so Vegeta takes off to use the Room of Spirit and Time.

Goku wonders what the Mafūba is like, and Kuririn says Roshi ought to know. Piccolo starts to give Goku a demonstration himself, but Goku is not listening and teleports straight to Roshi’s. At Kame House, Roshi says he can indeed teach Goku the Mafūba… but does Goku know just how dangerous it is?

Under Roshi’s supervision, Goku spends the night practicing the Mafūba on Sea Turtle, who he tries to seal inside a jar. Goku repeatedly misses the jar due to insufficient concentration, but at long last he gets the hang of it.

Roshi says all that remains is to put a lid on the jar and affix a special talisman. He will go make a talisman for him now… but next time, Goku had better take him out to meet some hot chicks! Meanwhile, Beerus and Whis visit Gowasu in Universe 10, explaining that the future did not change after all. Beerus, who Whis explains is feeling unusually responsible, says he could easily destroy Future Zamasu, but as a God of Destruction he cannot travel through time. Gowasu is ready to help them in whatever way he can, since everything is his fault for selecting Zamasu as his apprentice.
