"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Trunks time machine doesn't overwrite the past, it just changes it. Taking that along with the info that Black "can travel to paralel worlds" means that Black's original timeline still exists. So there's a timeline with a dead Son Family.

Then we disagree on this. Trunks's time travels change the timeline he lands on from that point, whether we know what's coming next, like in this case, or not, like when he travelled to Goku's timeline the second time to help them against the androids. I think Black's original timeline existed, but already has being changed since Trunks landed on it, it's not the same anymore. In another way of saying it, it has been overwritten.

Other than poor motivations for Zamasu, I thought this chapter did a good job in removing unnecessary stuff that was in the anime,and it is pretty consistent, so far. I also really liked the art in this chapter. 8/10 for me.

It's been explained in both the anime, the manga, and the original DBZ. Trunks can't overwrite the past, he just creates new worlds. That's why his future isn't ever affected, and it's why Black is unnaffected.

Black saying he exists there because of the time ring is because he couldn't be in Trunks timeline unless he jumped through time, hence the time ring. People mistakenly think the time ring is keeping him alive. Present Zamasu is Black's past, but Present Zamasu isn't Black. Just like how Baby Trunks was part of F.Trunks past, but Baby Trunks isn't Future Trunks. They're different people because of timeline changes.

Then what did Black mean when he said he was protected by the Time Ring (in the anime)?

It was a BS excuse to make people not think about the show's obvious contradictions.

He can't change his own timeline's past, but can change other timeline's, at least from the moment he lands on. As I said, in this case we knew what he was changing, but, for example, the second time he went to help his friends to fight against the androids three years later, he was also altering that timeline. It would have been different if he didn't go and nobody says he created a new timeline then.

I see what you mean. You think he altered Black's past but Black isn't erased because time ring. Is there anything that says wearing the time ring protects you from being erased outside of Black's explanation in the anime? Gowasu and everyone else merely mentions that it can jump to parallel worlds

I still don't know what to think about the ring. I wouldn't say he needs to be protected by anything, since he is out of the timeline that is being changed. But, it would make some sense to be affected by the overwitting of the timeline he belongs to and the ring would protect him from that. If it was for me, he would be safe with or without the ring anyway.

It was last episode, Zamasu tells Vegetto the reason.

Sure, that's a fair point, but we're obviously arguing about what we know. No use in wondering about what may or may not happen. The manga has omitted so much stuff, it can omit this as well.

Maybe we should give it a chance to get to the same point that they explained it in the anime.

Nobody gave the anime a chance when the manga explained things earlier than when they happened in the anime, though. Obviously people will discuss what they know.

Should we start bitching about the manga having bad storytelling because we don't know exactly what Zamasu's goal is? We've seen he hates mortals, but it hasn't been explained yet why he wants to kill them, or if he wants to kill them all, or if not how he chooses them. Should we also say the same about why Black only wears one Potara instead of two?

I don't want to dig through a dozen pages, but does anyone at least have a summary of what happened in the chapter? I'd definitely appreciate it.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

Basically, episode 55-56. There are a few things from later parts of the arc sprinkled in, but that's the gist of it.

[PsionicWarrior]

Recently started to read the manga, damn it's great all of the silly stuff from the anime is missing, I'm actually quite shocked there is so much material shoehorned from Toei lol

[OLKv3]

Knowing how this arc ends, I'm so glad Toyo decided to have only Trunks and Mai alive in the future. It makes so much sense with what happened in tonight's episode.

Wow, I just realized that.

Herms translated the chapter: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=30467&start=8900#p1193243

[Xeztin]

wow 57 pages this time! He could definitely go weekly! Would be cool if they done that after this arc ends in the manga.

[Sodhi]

There are only 39 pages. Unless there are more other than the ones Herms translated.

[Chelentano]

I think 57 it's V-Jump's actual page where the chapter ends, then and before that there are more pages with other content.

[OLKv3]

Just read the full chapter. I get sad every time I see Future Trunks having hope

[phattangent]

It has to be done though... or his eventual defeat of Merged Zamasu will look like an ass pull. The anime did a very good job reminding us of the power of hope and love every episode leading up to episode 66. I'm curious to see how the manga handles this.

[Avery]

Seems like the manga is worthless once again. Oh well. At least the little details here and there are still fun.

Kid Trunks had "CC AIR FORCE" on his shirt. Wth?
