Images from the first episodes don't mean anything, I don't know why they do that but these scans always have an image from the first episodes.

It doesn't matter where the images are from. The fact that they are in the photo at all means they have something to do with the plot of the episode, whether it's past or future, important or not so much.

BTW, Mai is basically wearing a version of the Time Patrol Trunks outfit there.

It seems like they'll escape to the past and meet Beerus there.

I can't see the scan properly but it says Goku & co flee to the past and they meet Beers, Whis and Kaioushin there. The present Zamasu heads to Zunou's planet to ask him about the Super Dragon Balls.

Thanks. Present Zamasu, huh? I was right then, the one we saw last episode is Future Zamasu. Is there a Zuno in each Universe or Zamasu will go to Universe 7? That's odd. :eh:


Also... ENOUGH OF BEERUS! :x We need Kaioshin of Time and we need now!

The plot thickens. What will Zamasu wish for? ...For that matter, how will he get to know about the wish orbs, and how will he travel to another twin universe to learn more about them (Is the Kai-Kai that effective)? And will he wait for 7 years to get his appointment with Zuno, or will he force his way in?

He'll probably try to force his way in (or they'll simply let him in) on the grounds that he's a Kaioshin.

  • 1. Vegeta likely doesn't know how to do the Fusion dance
    2. Do you think Zamasu and Black will just stand there and watch Goku teach Vegeta the fusion dance ? Heck, i don't even think Vegeta would do the silly poses.
    3. Vegeta is injured.
Vegetto on the hand has a fairly high chance of appearing as...
  • 1. Similar to the Boo Arc, Goku could convince Vegeta to fuse with him by having him remember about Bulma and Trunks, except this time, its Future Bulma and Future Trunks.
    2. Kibitoshin defusing might be also a way to convince Vegeta since they could just defuse via Dragon Balls after they beat Black/Zamasu.
    3. Goku can probably still fuse even if Vegeta's injured, plus it won't take much time for them to fuse, unlike the metamorian fusion.


Gogeta:

1. How so? He could have learned after seeing the kids fusing all those years

2. Are you serious, right now? I mean this is Super!Vegeta, He cooked/danced just for not being destroyed by Beerus, he doesn't care about his pride like his Z self, he was willing to convince Whis to train him at any cost, so yeah doing the Fusion Dance would be less shameful than any of those before.

3. That's a good point, but maybe he could somehow get healed?

Vegetto:

1. Where's the potara?

2. Where's the potara?

3. Where's the potara?


EDIT: Didn't had considered this before:

[spoiler]
Goku & co flee to the past and they meet Beers, Whis and Kaioushin there. The present Zamasu heads to Zunou's planet to ask him about the Super Dragon Balls.

Well, then Vegetto It is likely to show up after then...

It looks like this arc is far from over which is great but if Goku loses and Vegeta obviously did, could they end up trying to find a new form beyond Blue ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Thanks :P

What is the real identity of Goku Black's, that Whis reasons about?

58 - "Zamasu and Black. The deep mystery of the two."
Goku & co. were cornered by Zamasu and Goku Black but they succeed in returning to the past in the nick of time. Beers, Whis and even Kaioushin appear before them when they are curing their injuries with Senzus. What is the real identity of Goku Black, which they have been thinking about?

-> Getting his hands on Senzu, Goku wants to return to the future at once. His fighting spirit has still not disappeared.

Future Mai doesn't give up on resisting!

Beers and Whis also appear! What is the surprising answer they come up with by investigating and the hints from the future they got from Goku & co.?

This Week's Zamasu

Searching for the secret of the Dragon Balls!
Present Zamasu heads to Zunou's to ask about the Super Dragon Balls. While threatening Zunou and waiting for the answer, he also asks about Goku?

Zuno unnecessarily said even the size of the Super Dragon Balls, then Zuno better say everything about Goku, including his parents.

I'm not saying this is likely, because I don't think it is. But it isn't impossible.

Makes sense. Zuno would know that Zamasu is a Kai with an evil heart, though, so I don't know how cooperative he'd be.
Post-ninja'd addition: Force his way in it is.

Zamasu is becoming quite bold for a Kaio, isn't he? I'm curious how strong his position is if he's comfortable with threatening Zuno.

Yep, the one airing in September 11st.

I like that I was wrong they'd retreat to the past and I'm also liking that Zunou is involved again, I was fearing he was just a one-time-only character.

I think Black is definitely Goku (or his body) based on what he said after transforming into Rose but the question is how Zamasu did that. Probably he uses the Super Dragon Balls but I wonder if Champa will also be involved in this. Surely,

Yeah. I appreciate the fact that they're taking time to flesh out the arc properly, but I hope they don't end up dragging it out for too long.

I'd like the episode count for the arc to total at about 15 to 20 episodes, which is already longer than other Super arcs but not yet overdoing it.
