Goku and Vegeta in tank tops, that's refreshing. There's a bunch of talk in this chapter, we'll need to wait for translations to see if there's that juicy manga exclusives.
I'm specially curious at the reason of Kaioshin visit, that seems to be a diverging point from the anime. Besides the whole skipping Black going into the past.

I have no idea why people are thinking that? It looks like they could easily skip all the back and forth future/present shenanigans and have everything happen in one or two trips. It would just make it flow much better since nothing was actually gained by the repeated trips that couldn't have been done in two.

Are you kidding? The chapter is 80% about Zamasu and his path to evil. It's essential to the story.

This chapter contains information from episode 53 to the start of episode 58. Besides little things like the God Tube, which If I remember correctly came in later episodes.
That's a decent job in catching up, without rushing. Skipping that first Goku vs Black is notorious.

I suspected Goku to do something to Vegeta to end last, but instead it was Vegeta himself who tried something funny, should have expected that. :lol: Kaioshin pointing out Kibito as a possible culprit is a nice detail, shows us that Toyotaro knows the characters well. GodTube also looks different, in the anime it was like TV here it looks more like internet.

In the last chapter Whis said he should maybe ask the Kaioshin if he knows a suspicious God, I guess he ordered him to Earth from the looks of it.

It's really nice to see Trunks and Future Trunks getting along so well :)

Goku and Vegeta had some nice casual outfits. Would have been really cool to see them in the anime, too; I don't usually care about such details, but their old outfits are just so... old.

Also, a shame that we didn't see Black in this chapter, but there was some development for Zamasu. I just can't help but like him, somehow :D

Lol I like how his hate for Goku is slowly building up here. First he hears about how this filthy mortal Son Goku beat the enemy of the gods (Majin Buu). Then he sees this ningen using the ki of the Gods beating up an assassin who lived for 1000 years. Next chapter he'll probably find out that Mr Perfect Ningen Goku just got invited to meet with the King of All. He's gonna flip out and just go find him himself. Then he's gonna get blown away and have his pride shattered. Occupy Goku starts soon after

Would it be allowed for someone to PM me a link to read the chapter? I can't read Japanese but I like to see the panels and get a gist of an idea of what is going on.

This chapter was absolutly worthless. The plot is soooo far behind.. We haven't even seen Omni-King yet. At this point, the Manga is only there for the lols, to make money and for people to enjoy Toyotaro's take on it. If they were smart.. They'd do the same as they did with the new U6 arc back then, having the manga be on top of the plot, MAKING IT RELEVANT again!
At least then we have new spoilers, allowing us to get a sneak peak in the future. It was way better on all levels, for all of us. 1. It makes the manga relevent, and worthy 2. It gives us a sneak peak and isn't just rehashed material in a slightly different way 3. We were actually looking forward to the manga each month.
Going back to their old roots by having the anime be on top was the worst mistake ever! And they know it!

The manga is pointless if it doesn't move ahead of the anime. Truly the living definition of the word "pointless".

Gokû and Vegeta's matching opposite outfits were amazing. :mrgreen: (white tank top, black pants vs black tank top, white pants).

I enjoyed the (steampunk?) design of the computer they watch kamitube/godtube on.

It's funny how people totally miss the point of criticizing filler. It has nothing to do with the existence of filler itself, but rather the quality.

The latest arc has been plagued with rehash after rehash of Mai/Trunks filler and recaps in the anime. Everything that's happened so far would be improved tremendously if it were "Kai'd".

This has to literally be the oddest take on this I've seen. I won't comment because I haven't seen the later chapter yet but you seem to be implying a promotional manga which tells the story different is worthless as art unto itself unless it specifically precedes the anime for spoiler reasons..? Why can't the manga just be enjoyable unto itself. Such a bizarre comment.

I'm on the complete opposite side here; why didn't the anime include that race? Would have been hilarous!

This chapter was nothing special. I prefer how anime handled things to be honest and I bet all of us would be here complaining if it were the other way round. The only mistake the anime did is showing Goku vs Zamasu flashback when Black talked about his origin. By the way in the manga too Zamasu will eventually die to Beerus and it will be because Goku and the others will go to the future and meet Zamasu there. So the paradox will be still there unless Toyotaro specifically tells us Black is from the unseen timeline. Would be awesome if he does and also explains us what happened in that timeline.

By the way, I loved Goku and Vegeta in casual clothes and the Kart part was fun, would like to see something similar in the anime.

Chapter 17 notes. Much more enjoyable than the anime version, and lots of little extra details too. Loving it.
We start off with Gowase and Zamasu on Planet Babari. Gowasu reveals Time Rings are rarely used. The last instance was 400 years before he was even a Kaioshin student. Zamasu seems to have no experience with them, however he is actually aware of Time Rings and the concept of Parallel Worlds/Timelines here.

Rules for Time Rings are the same as the anime. They allow the user to travel to the future and back to the present. It's impossible to travel to the past; such actions are forbidden.

There shouldn't be any doubt at this point, but we get outright confirmation that timeline splits affect all the universes, not just the one it happens in. Gowasu explains that the first parallel world, and the resulting Time Ring, was created via a time machine made by a human/mortal from an advanced civilization in Universe 12. Zamasu notes that there are 4 Time Rings on the top row, meaning there are 4 parallel worlds. Gowasu only remembers 3 when he last checked: "Could it be that someone created another world recently?"

Unfortunately, the timeline/parallel world situation still isn't perfectly clear beyond the first one being created by Universe 12. The latest one does seem to be for Trunks, but that's still not actually stated. Which leaves the fact that Cell altered history at an earlier point, and thus should have created one too, in limbo. I suppose the two middle rings could be Trunks and Cell, while the last one is the Black!Zamasu ring in the manga? It's really still a waiting game to find out for sure.

Potara stuff, fusion joke, 1000 years. Stuff we all know. Zamasu is much more forthright with his hate of mortals and Gowasu is, thankfully, still not blind to it. When the Babarian attacks, Gowasu's request that they flee Babari. Zamasu ignores him. He then proceeds to try 3 more times to get Zamasu to leave and stop what he's doing, but Zamasu continues to ignore him. He's dead set on killing the "useless trash". When they return to the Universe 10 Kaioshin Realm, they have what felt like a more meaningful discussion about Zamasu's actions than the anime did. (Also, Zamasu doesn't really address Gowasu by name in the manga, just Kaioshin-sama.)

Dragon Kart time at Capsule Corp. Not much to say here, as the visuals are pretty self explanatory. The controller Beerus broke after losing at the game was his third one though.

We don't get Trunks feeling quite so useless as in the anime. Future Trunks is happy he's able to relax a bit by playing games. Vegeta and Goku say not to worry, they'll take care of Black and restore peace for him. This upsets Trunks a little that he can't handle it himself. Vegeta also says to make sure Future Trunks doesn't get in their way. So when Trunks wakes up, he's to come to the gravity room for training.

The Godtube stuff is switched. Gowasu walks in on Zamasu searching for Goku and asks if he's quitting his training to be a Godtuber. Gowasu notices the video is the Hakaishin Invitational from last arc and notes he wanted to watch that. Gowasu ask why Zamasu is searching for "that guy who's stronger than a god". Zamasu defects by pointing out even Zeno-sama was attending. Gowasu is surprised the event is more important than he had thought. We switch back to Capsule Corp after the same inquisition into the Super Dragon Balls. (I was curious if Zamasu knew about Zeno. Question answered. Also, there's currently no paradox. Zamasu is on a path of interest in Goku without having met him yet, and Black hasn't caused the heroes to gain an interest in Zamasu. So this is fully possible in the original version of the timeline without Trunks showing up.)

The next morning, Beerus is still upset that he kept losing at the game. He orders a whole barrel of his namesake (beer). Kaioshin appears (without Kibito, suggesting he can use the Kai Kai in the manga too?), having been summoned by Beerus about the evil god investigation.

The Hakaishin asks if there are any gods with evil ideas, like hating mortals. After thinking about Kibito freaking out about mortals in the Kaioshin Realm during the Boo Arc, Kaioshin suggests that he was worried about his attitude. Beerus isn't surprised: "That bastard has a suspicious face." However Goku doesn't think it's likely. Still, they prepare to go meet with him.

Before they can leave, Whis gets a call. Instead of Zeno, like in the anime, it's the Dai Shinkan/Grand Priest. Beerus spits out his beer all over Kaioshin when Whis reveals that Goku has been summoned by Zeno. Goku wants to wait, but Beerus tells him to go now. The rest is the same as the anime: Whis would take 2 days, Kaioshin can teleport them. Goku's clothes aren't formal, don't talk about Black or time travel. Only difference worth mentioning at this point is that Beerus tells Kaioshin directly not to die at Zeno's. Guess that means he's not linked to the Elder Kaioshin, for whatever reason.

Well it's no problem if you're an absolute manga freak. And you just enjoy it for the sake of it. But if you're like me, and a lot of people who grew up with the anime, a manga only serves it's purpose if it includes spoilers.

But the fact of the matter is, it was a whole lot better back in the day when we got out of the freeza arc straight into the whole U6 stuff.

What an ignorant statement. You're wrong. There's no "fact of the matter". It's all opinion based. I don't mind the manga taking time to build story and have some fun moments in it. And I don't have to be an "absolute manga freak" to enjoy it. I barely even read manga, grew up anime-based, and I have absolutely no problem with this chapter.

Wow, what? You do know that people actually liking s manga is how anime typically get made in the first place and if not for these "manga freaks" liking the Dragonball series you likely would have never gotten an anime at all. These just seems unbelievably ignorant.

Nice chapter. Seemed like it blew through about five episodes worth of material without skipping a beat. And its been a while since we've Goku meditate, so that's a bonus.
