That's a good point.

I personally think Black is just the set up for this arc and when he's defeated the main event will start.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I think there are still some ways to go. Just because someone is fighting Black doesn't mean it's the final fight.

How many times did they fight Majin Buu before they finally beat him?
To be fair, Super hasn't done that very much. This arc, like BoG, had Goku face off against the villain, and now seemingly has the rematch against the main villain. In BoG, the first rematch was the end. RF had one fight with Freeza. If Super is following those examples, it COULD be the end. I hope it's not.

I just chalked those up to those being adaptions of the movies where there was really only one thing going on in each. Beerus looking for SSJ god and Freeza invading earth.

I feel like this Arc is doing a tad bit more.

I'm honestly really surprised that no one wants Future Mai to defeat Black as a plot twist. She still hasn't done anything since she was shown to be alive.

Couple weeks til Yandere Black can debut. Poor dates taking away his chance to once again reunite with Senpai Goku.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I think she'll be back but I don't think she'll be the same Mai Black killed.

DBS 55 FUJI TV preview isn't complete.
Strangely, here is the complete transmission (new dialogues): http://www.fujitv.co.jp/b_hp/dragonball_super/

We know there are multiple timelines so another adult Mai could be in one of them.

Or Maybe Trunks will go back in time to save her which will create a new timeline and a new Mai.

Mai isn't dead, did you forget how they ended an episode (I think it was 50) by zooming in on her hand and then it twitched?

I wonder if Gowasu is the one who kills Zamasu for the creation of Black :think:

For the sake of sounding cliche, I feel that if Future Mai DOES end up participating in SOME way in the final battle against Black, I imagine her to pull a (Cell arc) Vegeta, and fire a large Ki-fueled bullet at Black OR she ends up grabbing Future Trunks' sword and stabs Black in the back, which then keeps him distracted long enough for him to be finished off with the Father-Son Final Flash/Father-Son Galick Gun.

Funimation will do that when they ask you to pay 35$ for each 12 episode box set.
That's better compare in the past. I remember that would be $70 back in the old days at places like Suncoast. I remember a DVD box set of a series with 24 episodes was a lot of money. I still bought things on VHS until 2003 when I got a PS2.

I'm definitely for it. I don't want Goku to beat him because he's gotten all the main villain kills this series, and DBS has made me gradually hate him more because he acts like the absolute worst annoying prick ever. I don't want Vegeta to beat him because he's gotten enough attention as it is even though he IS the only somewhat likable character we've had get focus until Future Trunks arrived. I don't want any of the godly characters to beat him because I am getting sick of their overpowered asses. So the only viable candidates that really leaves are Trunks and Mai. I can't see it being anyone else but the ones I listed.

Goku was better in here than in 53, but imho still don't think he should beat Black. I say Trunks cause like the Androids, he has the most connection to them.

I don't wanna see Goku saving the day either, but lol?
He lost to Beerus (twice) and he lost to Hit, he only killed Freeza with Whis's help
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

He technically forfeited to Hit, but he did lose to Frost.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Wait.. Super Saiyan Rose is the canon name..? When I heard Lord Beerus post that I thought he was making fun of Super Saiyan Pink.

WHAT? Can you get any more girly? Might as well get a new Super Saiyan form called Super Saiyan Maybelline or Super Saiyan L'Oreal or something. What the fuck is this?

Women make up around half of today's shonen readership/viewership. Maybe you should reconsider things.

Also, so what?

Then make a female ultra powerful Saiyan who can go Super Saiyan Rose. Not Black. It just feels completely out of place.

Have you ever seen a Japanese pink ranger who's also a man? There's a reason why you haven't, because it's weird. Same thing here.

My manhood was not threatened by a thin Super Saiyan God surrounded by sparkles, and it's not threatened by the potential rose-colored transformation seen in promotional artwork for an upcoming product.

Not sure why yours is...?
