Wow, Trunks looks like he's been though some stuff. That's something from the guy who lived in an dystopian future. I like it!

Goku black, what the hell?! Are the evil Goku prophecy's coming true?

Future Trunks not overly interested in, but (likely) Evil version of Gokû who is not Turles? As trope-y as it is I am up for that. :mrgreen:

Even more interesting that he's called "Gokû" and not "Kakarrotto".

I cannot contain the inner fanboy in me, Future Trunks has returned!

All right, in all seriousness though, I'm both hyped and concerned. Hyped because such an amazing character is returning, concerned because Toriyama has ruined a once incredible, fan-favorite character before. I honestly hope he does not do the same with Future Trunks.

Anyways, I'm interested in learning about the insight on how Trunks has been maintaining peace in his timeline for all these years.

There's a second Trunks design, pretty cool.

I'm extremely hype. Hopefully we'll see an expansion of Trunks and Gohan's friendship and maybe Gohan's return. Also Vegeta and Bulma's reactions.

Though I'm sad that Kid Trunks (and especially Goten) now have even less chance for spotlight or even screentime

Just curious, who do you believe he ruined? Gohan?

I hope this new villain is a original villain. Not Mira, Towa and Buu. Future Trunks must have a good reason to return to the story and not be use as fan service to make fans happy. I personally look forward on Toriyama comes up with.

Any type of evil Goku would just be a rehash of Turles from Movie 3. I don't want to see that again.

I cannot contain how happy I am that this is not the Omni Tournament so soon on the heels of the Champa Tournament. *Is so grateful*. :mrgreen:

What the fuck? Seriously?! I guess it's still too early for me to get angry, but come on. Toriyama must still have more original ideas left. A Evil Goku is a idea that is old and outdated from AF fan fictions :roll: . Deep down, I feel pretty piss off. However I'm trying to hold my anger to see more information before I get angry.

Why the hell not. Anything is possible. We already have several fanfiction tropes. Let's throw another big one, with that being an Evil Goku. One of the most famous ones. Most populated by the sprite series.

People also seem to keep mentioning this Cohan person. Does he exist? Seems like that's not the case. Trunks isn't meeting some Cohan character.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

I hope that "Goku Black" isn't literally just Goku, and also has a different name.
