With the Time Ring anomaly hardly being referenced, it makes me wonder if that first battle will be "skipped" and everyone heads straight to Goku Black.

Just kidding, contrary to SSJ2, SSJ3 is flawed by design contrary to former which was never given a weakness.

I wouldn't be surprised if Toyotarõ uses a lot of time in this chapter to explain Black's ability, to give Rosé and Zamasu vs the Saiyans huge focus.
Just because I am not sure what you meant about SSJ3 being flawed would you mind explaining what you mean? Also given that the manga has time to get more in depth we could even get Black training and becoming SSJ Rose.
SSJ3 drains energy at a high rate, we're told this by Goku in the Boo Arc and we see the flaw in the final fight. Comparatively, SSJ2 was never given any weakness, it's a simply superior SSJ.
I doubt the manga will show any of Goku Black's training, if it even exists. It might go into detail regarding his ability's, that's what I want honestly.
I do remember that but I always thought it was because he had never used it while actually being alive since he learned how to become SSJ3 when he was dead. An he fought Buu at SSJ3 when he was dead. He might have even mentioned something similar to what I am saying but I could be wrong.

Super Saiyan 2 seems to bring back all the weaknesses that Super Saiyan had before it was mastered.

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Toyotaro's Black already has Goku's abilities, so that's totally plausible.

I'm not sure how true that is. While 2 doesn't have many fights, the fact Goku and Vegeta can go at it for a while and beat the shit out of one another without putting a dent in Goku's available time on Earth definitely says it's not THAT costly. Him just transforming into 3 robbed him of almost all his time.

If it does have weakness', it's most assuredly easier to bring it to a "mastered" state. 3 doesn't even seem attainable unless you're a fusion or dead.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I mean we never really got an explanation how he came to get 3 other than training but I am sure by now especially since he wanted to use it on Beerus when he first met him. This is really one that is tough and up in the air because there is a lot of IFs about how it works.

Super Saiyan 2 appears to bring back the brutal nature that Super Saiyan gave before its mastery (it was also confirmed in an anime guidebook), and it also drains ki according to Toriyama, which is apparent in Goku's & Vegeta's fight where they get very tired after a short fight. It doesn't drain as much ki as SS3 or the Grade forms though.

Super Saiyan 3 is special, it doesn't just drain ki, it rapidly drains every kind of energy the user has after a few minutes, like Fusion time or the time a dead person has in the Living World.

Which means it'll most likely be leaked tomorrow or Saturday

Leaks are not part of the question, and shouldn't be part of the discussion. The content and official release dates are.

And hopefully the manga will be extended once again. If it covers just one episode yet again, that'd be disappointing.

I know Toriyama is God around here but all I said was there's a chance he didn't put as much time or work or practice into his manga especially when he admits to that himself! That's all. My entire point is that there's a chance that he didn't do his best work because he by his own admission doesn't seem to be very disciplined. AT NO POINT DID I SAY TORIYAMA WAS A WORSE ARTIST OR A BAD ARTIST. Serious what's your people's problem and obsession with Toriyama!?!?
How about you calm down? I didn't say none of that so maybe you should follow your own advice.

Black going to the past is what makes them investigate Zamasu so that probably is part of Toriyama's plot.

I tend to listen to tracks from the anime while reading the new chapters, makes the experience better for me.
