I'll miss Zamasu/Goku Black, as well. In my opinion, the best villain(s) the franchise have ever produced. It's gonna take something special to top him.

No, they're both awesome villains, definitely on the level of Freeza in terms of writing and believability. I think there's a chance they may actually be recurring villains.

If they get locked away in the jar, its quite possible he'll get loose and come back in a later arc.

Something gives me the feeling he's been way too developed to throw him away so quickly. He could return later on if he's not outright killed.

I'm going to miss them both (Gokû "美しい" Black especially) as villains so much once this arc is over (or hell, once they potara fuse, because I doubt they're splitting back up after that). I hope their fusion is as entertaining as they are individually.

To answer your question, no, it's not weird. You've clearly enjoyed their screen time and will miss not having that going forward.

Me, personally, I'm not going to miss them at all. Villains like Frieza, Cell, and Buu have this strange endearing quality about them that makes me welcome their return with open arms. Black and Zamasu are the first truly detestable villains in this franchise, imo. The pretense in their speeches; the hypocrisy in their actions; the lack of real motives behind their extermination and hatred of the human race; and the calm, collected nature and elitism they display while committing these atrocities are infuriating. I wouldn't consider them the most evil villains, and I personally don't believe they have any more depth than Frieza or even Cell, but they've made me hate them (in a good way!) more than any other villain prior to this series, which definitely deserves merits. I just want to see them die a slow and painful death. The only thing I'll miss is the final scene in which they perish.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Their memorability will partly depend on how future antagonists are written and portrayed. A regression to the old hackneyed supervillains with predictably one-dimensional attitudes would cement their iconicity in the series as being the two antagonists with some measure of rhyme & reason to their actions besides wanting to dominate everything purely for the sake of it.

I will indeed miss Black Goku and Zamasu. I just hope, this arc wont end in a couple more episodes. Hope it goes all the way to ep 70. Tho i suspect it will end by ep 68.

I'll miss much more Black than Zamasu.

I know they are the same dude at the end, but Black developed more as stand alone carachter, each battle forged his personality and he even behaves different than Zamasu at this point (even if they share the same ideals)

Nozawa did an awesome job by voicing him, big part of his charisma is in there.

Hopefully he'll get some proper send off/some epic shite next episode, before fusing. Wouldn't mind seeing him back (alone) in some way tho..

I'm having high hopes for Merged Zamasu. Nigga better show some amazing shit before he goes.

I'm concerned for how the series will progress without them. I really think that it's thanks to those two, along with Trunks who might also be going out of the show soon is the reason why it's turned a lot of people's opinions of the show around.

A lot of people were really shitting on the show before these characters came along and this saga has been received pretty well, I see a lot more positivity for the show because of these characters.

I've even noticed that the score on Myanimelist has been going up over the last few months and usually the ratings only ever go down over time.

This theme better hit when Black makes his appearance in the dub

Won't lie. I think Zamasu (all three versions of him) is the best and most foreboding villain since Freeza (I think he's second to Freeza). The whole "Goku Black" concept was executed well in my opinion.

I think they had their good screen time and did a good job in being new villains for Dragon Ball. Now they can leave.
