I really like the fact that they'll meet the resistance.
Option for the unexpected: Mai or Zamasu.

I'm curious about the resistance's reactions to Gokû. Everyone's going to be trying to attack him thinking he's Gokû Black.

Good. I don't want Beerus or Whis to go. Anyway, I doubt they'll change, but I'm hoping!

Probably. Then Future Trunks will have to explain, poor guy.

As far as I've understood it, it's like this: In Japanese you can "ignore" u's (that's how you get Buruma to become Bulma), but you can't ignore e's. If you want to say Rose, you use Rozu (as it's pronounced "ro-s" in English), and if you want to say Rosé, you use Roze (as it's pronounced "ro-say" in English). Someone who actually knows Japanese should be able to explain this much better than me (or correct me), though.
Pretty much on the money, I think.
Japanese is phonetic, so you just read what each bit of kana represents.
ロ - Ro
ゼ - Ze
Rose would be ローズ - Rōzu, which as you said, if you subtly drop the u, you end up with the English word.

Good. It's unlikely that this is the final battle since Beerus, Whis, Zamasu etc. aren't around. At least I hope it's unlikely..

Also happy it seems Beerus and Whis will be absent for this; it brings the tension back.
I wish these breaks were on more convenient weekends for me.
Having a big plot episode with King Ryû writing on the one weekend where me catching it live will be kinda dicey is challenging. Still gonna try anyway; that's all I can do. Hopefully it's late enough into the event that I can slip out somewhere to watch.
But a Kochikame special interrupting it in September? Strange. Is it an anniversary or something?

Good point. It basically feels like the Golden Freeza battle but this time without the fallback on Beerus and Whis. Should feel a lot more tense.

I'm curious about Mai's reaction in particular, and hey, we might get to see F!Pilaf and F!Shue thinking Mai was dead.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Seems pretty obvious that Goku will lose or Black will flee, since the whole Zamasu sub-plot isn't done yet.

Damn, I can't believe the summaries don't say why Zen'ou summoned Goku. Maybe it's just a joke and will be completely irrelevant to the plot.

Goku shook his hand. Zeno is now pregnant.

Or it may get disturbed again by some incident or something like the last time. If Goku in SSJB form gets defeated by SSJR Black then they're fcked. Then again he and Vegeta can always do the fusion dance.

I dunno, maybe the fact that there's more breaks will be helpful to getting the production back on track.

The stakes definitely would be upped if we saw Zamasu fuse with Goku.
So with Trunk's recent declaration about surpassing Black and Vegeta. do we think there will be a time skip of sorts in episode 55 wherein Trunks has been training?
Or is he going to the future still as a SS2?
Since Trunks has made that vow I have faith that he will eventually achieve SSB level strength.
Even if it were a Toei addition like with Gohan's vow with training, Trunks is popular enough that they would act on it.
The best thing that could happen with this arc is Goku and Vegeta get overpowered in the future and tell Trunks to flee back to the present. wherein Gohan has to step up with Trunks. But that'd never happen.

It doesn't seem like there will be a timeskip, no.

A lack of timeskip oddly makes me feel that something will happen to Goku/Vegeta in the future.
Trunks has to come through on his promise.
In an ideal situation Future Trunks needs to become a god after narrowly escaping the future again. He lines up gohan, goten, Trunks and pan to do the ritual. but they need another. Bulma steps forward(Bra).

I'm still confused about the whole "5 years without seeing Bulma" thing I've heard. Anyone think Super will do it?

Maybe they mess up the return journey in the time machine.

Goku Black should use his time ring to sap Goku and Vegeta back to the present when he's nearly lost. That would leave him and Future Trunks alone, with the latter going SSJB, to Black's surprise.
