The part where Fu suddenly got all burry in the beginning confused me, until I saw the shadow of Cumber in the background and realized they were trying to focus on him. Kind of hard to do that when he's a tiny silhouette. Then I realized the version I was watching didn't have subtitles, so I stopped watching it and I'll wait for one that does.

EDIT: Although I do know enough Japanese to know that Cumber was basically saying that he wants to fight...

Summary of episode 6 (Herms is off this week):

Spoiler:

Super Dragon Ball Heroes Episode 6: “I'll Finish This! Ultra Instinct Goes Into Operation!!”

On the Prison Planet, now collapsing from the pressure of the battles it’s sustained, Goku: Xeno and Vegeta: Xeno stare down Fu in their Super Saiyan 4 forms.
Cumber emerges behind Fu, not yet down for the count. He begins to power up and screams for someone to fight him. In his rage, he scatters blasts of energy across the planet.

Fu looks up toward a moon above the battlefield, and says it appears his objective is complete. “They” will soon revive. He thanks the Saiyans and awaits things becoming even more interesting from here. He then slices open a rift in space-time and begins to make his escape.

Coola follows after Fu, promising to not let him go, but the rift closes before Goku: Xeno can chase after the two of them as well.

Vegeta: Xeno suggests they deal with Fu later. What’s more important now is getting Trunks and co. away from the battlefield.

Cumber has formed a massive energy ball, and the Time Patrollers fly down to the ground to meet it.

As Goku: Xeno and Vegeta: Xeno struggle against the blast, Vegeta wonders how long his Goku will remain asleep. He shouts out for him to wake up.

Goku awakens, his irises now silver, and a pillar of bright blue-silver light suddenly erupts from the ground. Goku moves forward, now awakened to his Ultra Instinct state. He challenges Cumber and instantly dodges his punch and knocks Cumber to the ground.

Goku: Xeno marvels at the strength of his counterpart and calls for everyone to get ready to leave the planet via his teleportation. He, Vegeta: Xeno, Vegeta, Trunks and Mai make their escape.

Goku’s fight against Cumber continues. He finishes Cumber off with a Kamehameha.

Left on the collapsing Prison Planet, Goku looks up at the moon, which has begun to crack and taken on a purple hue.

Zamasu, decked in an eyepatch and unusual arm bands, appears in front of the moon along with four other mysterious figures. He lifts Cumber up toward them with his finger, then disappears with Cumber in tow.

Goku, left confused and alone on the Prison Planet, screams as the planet explodes.

“The collapse of the Prison Planet is the prelude to even more fierce battles!

Next time on Super Dragon Ball Heroes:

‘Zamasu Revived?! The Curtain Rises on the Universal Conflict Arc!’"

Summary of episode 6 (Herms is off this week):

So I watched the subbed version, is it really written "multiverse" or you just translated to be a more "Western thing"?

"All universes."

I fought with Terez over that and argued it was a standard fiction term for "multiple/all separate universes." Though there was back-and-forth over whether to go with that or "omni-verse" (which I think Herms had used before, but in non-DB stuff it tends to be used for even larger scales than "multiverses"). If people are really opposed to it being used for Dragon Ball, though, I'll note that for the future.

[Grimlock]

I see. I'm not opposing, I prefer that word being used in the Dragon Ball fandom but I would like for it to appear officially as well. Xenoverse 2 also mentions "Multiverse" but in English version, I don't know if it's there in Japanese version too. Well, I don't even know if the Japanese vocabulary has such word.

Speaking of that, I do, however, oppose to the usage of the term "Omniverse" because, like you said, refers to something way larger than Multiverse.

Anyway, thanks for translating it. I got shocked to see that they are trying to take down Zeno. This is exactly what I had in mind when Universe Survival saga was announced, characters from different Universes getting together to fight something/someone "greater" than them. Once again I have to thank Heroes for actually knowing what to do with the Multiverse concept and the characters.

There are some particular theory/sci-fi phrases like 多元宇宙 (tagen-uchuu; universes across multiple dimensions; also used for multiversal theory), but in this case the phrase used was 全宇宙 (zen-uchuu), which is more literally "all universes." Or what you could call a "multiverse," putting it all together.

But this was just one line in a trailer, so, again, if people have strong feelings about the vocabulary here, I really am happy to keep it in mind as it seems likely to come up again in future Heroes material (which it seems I'm likely to keep helping out with in one way or another, even if it's just translating bits of information for tweets or the forums).

[Gt91]

Cooler was totally useless from the beginning to the end ...
Well, i m happy that the series will continue.

[sunsetshimmer]

I can't believe Cooler actually moved. I thought he would be standing there forever firing a single ki blast every episode.

[Zamasu55]

So:
Zamasu is revived, his goal is to destroy the Omni-kings and other characters like Kefla, Hit and Jiren are indeed involved.

Woah.

[Sora Saiyan]

Woah.

Sound super interesting, but I’m not looking forward to it because it’s being done in SDBH, it’s like the most inconsistent of the inconsistent.

We did not fight. You had "all the universes" or "every universe" (I don't remember which); I suggested "multiverse" and linked you to some relevant Herms tweets. Then we discussed it, you decided it had to be "multiverse", and that was that.

[Dragon Ball Gus]

Oh my God, did Goku just... die?!

[Terez]

Oh my God, did Goku just... die?!

It was a reference to Goku being stuck on Namek so probably not.

Was just a little hyperbole. Terez is actually very nice.

[Champa The Destroyer]

Hey, Cooler wasn't completely useless, what we got was atleast better than if he stopped training and wore a green tracksuit.



Being serious, this episode was definitely the best so far, MUI wasn't underwhelming here and I got hyped when Zamasu showed up.

[Polyphase Avatron]

I wonder, is there any explanation for why Fu is so strong?

And they don't even play Ultimate Battle during the Ultra Instinct scenes... lame

Also is there any reason Goku couldn't just teleport out of there now, since the others did too? Because if the next episode reveals that he just did that would be a pointless cliffhanger.

And at least someone is finally trying to kill that little bastard. Is it bad that I'm rooting for the villains to succeed?

[Terez]

I wonder, is there any explanation for why Fu is so strong?

He is the son of Mira and Towa, Dabra's sister. Mira is an artificial being created from several strong fighters.

But I don't recall Mira or Towa being that strong in Xenoverse.

In Xenoverse 2 it took the CaC and SSBlue Goku to take down Mira.

[TheRed259]

First seconds of the episode reminded me a lot of Planet Namek when he was about to explode. The sound effects, the thunder, the explosions sounded almost the same. You would think that Goku Super Saiyan and Freeza would show up and fight.
