Tullece doesn't have anything except for his face that makes him an "Evil Goku" or what an evil Goku would be like. An evil Goku would be like Fat Buu, but a little smarter and not that lazy. Or Cell.

No, it was definitely a lie. These rumours have been circulating since GT's last episode. The guys who make this stuff up like to retroactively pretend their bullshit was truth as soon as something resembling it comes to light. Don't buy into it.

I think an evil Gokû would still have disconcerting cheerful Gokû attributes to him too, unlike Turles who had none of that.

Why are you guys calling him "Evil Goku" when his name is Black?

Tullece had traits of Saiyan arc Vegeta, in my opinion. I could never get behind the idea he's supposed to be, "Kakarotto", but I can understand the argument as we never knew Kakarotto in the first place. He died when he hit his head. In any case, his personality didn't mirror Goku's traits in my eyes.

Why do you care? She's allowed to call him Evil Goku if she feels like it. Because that's what it is. An EVIL version of Goku.

We don't know that yet and why are you angry?

The article also reveals that the story’s main plot was developed in the autumn of 2015, with a final screenplay completed in February 2016, indicating that production has been ongoing for the past four months.
This makes me really happy. It's always good to hear that things had been planned for some time now.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Surprised we haven't seen SSJ future trunks in any art or previews. He probably has to keep his power low to hide from Black but he's gotta make a stand at some point. I hope they're at least going to give him ss3, if not some other cool transformation. Hopefully they're not showing him power up because there is something to reveal.

Ok so I think I know how the episode will go.

Present Day Stuff - Goku is trying to finish work as fast as he can so he can train with Whis who has come back from his trip and ropes Piccolo in to help him.

The Future - Trunks is travelling back to Capsule Corp having finial got the last materials they need to create the fuel for the time machine. He's has to make the trip on foot to avoid being detected by the Black Enemy.
However despite his best efferts (and the fact that Trunks has the worst kind of luck) he has an encounter with the Black Enemy but is able to escape with his life and make his way home.
There he gives the materials to his mother and spends some time with Mai. Things seem to finally looking up for them....
Unfortunately the Black Enemy has found his way to Capsule Corp (either by following Trunks somehow or some other reason) and attacks.
With no other option Trunks tries to fight but the Black Enemy proves to be far more powerful and as the fight progresses his face is revealed, the face of Son Goku.
Unable to beat this "Black Goku" Trunks is forced to flee with the fuel for the time machine however Black Goku stops him, saying he will kill Bulma (whom he has by the throat) if Trunks doesn't give himself up.
Trunks hesitates but Bulma tells him that his mission is more important then her life and besides Black Goku would likely just kill them both.
Making the hardest choice of his life Trunks abandonr his mother and makes his way to the time machine with Mai. Bulma is killed by a man who has the same face as her best friend.

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.

So like how Goku really LOVES fighting, Black could REALLY love killing...

That is both an awesome and scary idea. A Goku that gets of on murder sounds full blown psychotic not just evil.

That's the kind of antagonist I'm hoping he'll be. It'll set him apart from Turles definitely; and it'll also make him an interesting challenge for Gokû and especially Vegeta.

That's kinda sad, but what a nice introduction to the Arc it would be, I hope we see an Enraged SSJ2 Mirai Trunks vs. Black Goku, that would be great.
Hm, maybe we could have a moment simmilar to Vegeta's brief powerup in BOG, for a breif moment he was powerful enough to come to blows, but not taste victory. It would show that Trunks can get stronger.

Oh, and if F!Bulma is kiled, I want Vegeta to have the same reaction. "T-that's my bulma! ...Even if she is from a different timeline"

So, Future Bulma's husband survives in another world while Vegeta loses his wife in another world. There's something to be worked with that in a dramatic sense.

I saw the trailer, thought it was cool. I really like the music they've used so far haha. Also, clearly the earring is going to be important because at the end of the trailer it's emphasized.

Wait, is it Khin or is it me being mentioned in regards to the phrase "evil Gokû"? Because if it's me, I was only talking about it in the hypothetical sense, in which case I should've quoted their post in my post so it was clearer what I was talking about since there is a post in-between mine and theirs.

Hey, I'm allowed to call him 'Bubbles, the wonder Monkey' if I want to! :D
