The ending of this arc is great
The ending of this arc is great. You know why? Because the villain actually won this time. I was getting tired of the happy ending nonsense, so this ending is really refreshing.

How did he win? He was obliterated and his universe was erased. He lost in the worst way imaginable.
His goal was never to vaporize the universe; he loved his world, but hated the humans that inhabited it because of the destruction they caused. Guess what? He was right. Everything he feared came true: a human led to the destruction of his universe. In the end, Zamasu was in fact the good guy in this picture, and he failed to protect what he loved by an idiot human.

He was so powerful in the end and unstoppable that no one except the #1 could do anything. Seems like a win in some other context.fadeddreams5 wrote:How did he win? He was obliterated and his universe was erased. He lost in the worst way imaginable.

Zamasu ultimately succeeded in killing every mortal in Future Trunks' world, apart from Future Trunk and Mai, but still died. He won but... he didn't really win... but kinda still won.

I think that's the point. Zamasu won because they had no other choice but to literally cheat to win against him and he also won ideologically.fadeddreams5 wrote:How did he win? He was obliterated and his universe was erased. He lost in the worst way imaginable.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
He technically won for a while, in an even better way than he thought he could. He literally became the universe! Yet in the end, Zeno showed him where he could go. As for the ending, I didn't like how everyone was killed. However, destroying Trunks' timeline, the same one that keeps falling into despair where he has to come back to the present for help, was probably the most fitting ending that could have happened. I actually give Super credit for thinking of that.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
But that's not a victory. He lost everything. EVERYTHING. His body, his soul, and his universe. Everything he obtained and fought for...gone. He wasn't THAT one-dimensional, where all he desired was the death of mortals. He wanted this for a reason. Otherwise, he would have just used the Super Dragon Balls to erase the universe.Doctor. wrote:I think that's the point.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
I don't get it, are some of you bothered you didn't get a generic happy ending where everyone is OK in the end? Its different than anything we had before.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
Though technically, Frieza won as well. They just cheated with Whis' time technique, much like they cheated with Zeno. I can understand Beerus' comment to Goku in saying they need to stop relying on gods so much.zamasu121 wrote:you know why? because the villain actually won this time. i was getting tired of those happy ending nonsense, so this ending is really refreshing.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
The ending still has me in giggles. I'm so used to Dragonball wrapping everything up in a nice bow by the end of a saga, and was waiting for that to happen again, only for them to just nuke everything and everybody in the future timeline and Trunks and mai being forced to live in a non destroyed similar timeline. I.was. not. prepared.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
Just because I don't like this ending (at all, btw) doesn't mean I desired a generic happy ending . I wanted a good ending (happy, sad, or bittersweet) that tied up all loose ends and left me satisfied. This was not it.precita wrote:I don't get it, are some of you bothered you didn't get a generic happy ending where everyone is OK in the end? Its different than anything we had before.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
Well Frieza did win, if it was not for Whis all Z warriors would be dead. But unlike Frieza's arc Zamasu was much more successful, now Trunks can't ever go back to his home timeline and has to live with another Future TrunksShinomori wrote:Though technically, Frieza won as well.

Face-Sky Zamasu is too bullshit for me to call the ending good

The ending reminded me of the ugly barnacle story.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
The ending of this arc is great because it's weird and bittersweet and those are places Dragon Ball rarely goes. But nothing felt out of place.
So, so on board with how this ended. Did not see it coming at all.

exactly. i don't know why people want those cliche happy endings. this arc actually had consequences and the ending has emotional weight to it.Cipher wrote:The ending of this arc is great because it's weird and bittersweet and those are places Dragon Ball rarely goes. But nothing felt out of place.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
This is probably one of the rarest arc where there was consequence. As it turned out, Dragon Balls can't fix Trunks world so all the kids that died are gone for good. This is one of the most significant arc in Dragon Ball in terms of actual casualtyCipher wrote:The ending of this arc is great because it's weird and bittersweet and those are places Dragon Ball rarely goes.

Re: the ending of this arc is great
So, Future Trunk's timeline is gone for good? Did I get that right? Trunks and Mai just went to a similar timeline a little before everything was destroyed? I was confused when Whis mentioned he can take them into the past of their timeline.
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
