Hmm...let me try this again...
Future Trunks Arc
Episode #30:
A Part: Future Trunks runs through the city carrying fuel for the time machine, ever cautious of being followed. Finally arriving at the location of Future Blooma and Future Mai, Trunks and the others load the time machine with fuel; however, before the trio can travel to the past they are attacked by a shadowy figure. The figure grabs Future Blooma and kills her, shocking Trunks.
B Part: Mai convinces Trunks to get into the time machine while she provides a distraction, but when the shadowy figure causes the ground below to begin collapsing Mai falls to an apparent death. Trunks, enraged, attacks the figure, now revealed to be…Son Gokuu? This Son Gokuu is dressed in black, however, and is referred to by Trunks merely as ‘Black’. Trunks is thoroughly thrashed by Black and forced to swallow his pride and retreat to the past using the time machine.
Episode #31:
A Part: In the Present, Trunks and the Pilaf Gang are being tutored, but their peaceful day is interrupted by the shocking appearance of an unconscious adult Trunks in a time machine. Everyone gathers after the arrival of Future Trunks. After being fed a senzu Future Trunks awakens, sees Gokuu, and erupts in rage, experiencing a PTSD-esque flashback.
B Part: Gokuu and Vegeta subdue Future Trunks and explain that Gokuu eventually had his life restored. Future Trunks gives a short explanation of what has happened since he last saw the others. Gokuu Black appears in the past thanks to the power of the Time Ring. Gokuu battles him until Black is forcibly sent back to the past.
Episode #32:
A Part: Trunks visits with all of his other friends from the past. Seeking strength in seeing his mentor, Son Gohan, again, Trunks comes to the realization that although the Gohan from the past is an adult now, he is not the Son Gohan he knew and now leads a life away from battle. Trunks resolves to not tell Gohan of why he has come back to the past and instead begins training with Vegeta.
B Part: Beers, Whis and Gokuu visit the Kaiou-shin of the Tenth Universe, Gowasu. Gowasu is training his student, Zamasu, to take over as the next Kaiou-shin for the Tenth Universe. Beers asks to see the Time Rings under Gowasu’s care, to which the Kaiou-shin obliges. They’re all accounted for! Having met Son Gokuu, Zamasu is shocked to see a human so friendly with gods. After hearing that Gokuu even survived a battle with Beers, Zamasu accepts Gokuu’s challenge for a sparring match to see what is so special about him. While it seems to be a good match, in the end Gokuu is victorious. Gokuu again notes that Zamasu is really strong for a Kaiou, being even stronger than the Kaiou-shin of the Seventh Universe! “Let’s fight again sometime!” Having seen the Time Rings, Beers and Whis are content to leave, as they cannot miss eating dessert. Heading home, the trio discuss that what they saw of Zamasu supports their suspicions that he and Black are one and the same. Perhaps they should destroy him now? But Gokuu says Zamasu did not seem like such a bad guy. Besides, while similar, his ki is not exactly the same as Black’s. Still, the way his hand went numb when he hit Zamasu reminds Gokuu of when he fought Beers. Beers is angry at being lumped in with Zamasu, insisting that he is on a far higher level. However, Goku thinks that Zamasu still has room to improve, and may someday grow to be as scary a god as Beers. Back in the Tenth Universe, Zamasu thanks Gowasu for allowing him to fight Gokuu. Gowasu thinks this helped Zamasu gain a deeper understanding of mortals, and relieved some of the distrust he feels toward them. Zamasu says he is embarrassed to realize how inexperienced he is, which Gowasu says is proof that he has grown. Gowasu asks Zamasu for another cup of tea, which Zamasu obediently pours. But Zamasu’s thoughts tell a different story: “I knew it, mortals are dangerous. Son Gokuu, I won’t forget this!
Episode #33:
A Part: On their way back to the Seventh Universe, Beers and his group are contacted by the Zen-Ou, who wishes to meet with Son Gokuu! Vegeta trains Trunks. Gowasu trains Zamasu in the role of a Kaiou-shin, but Zamasu's contempt grows more and more, leading him to interfere in the development of a species and kill Babarians. Gowasu scolds Zamasu for this and revokes his Potara. Gokuu, Beers and Whis visit the Zen-Ou. Zen-Ou wants Gokuu to be his friend and play, but Gokuu finds that to be too much of a bother, so he promises to find 'Zen-chan' a friend.
B Part: Vegeta, Trunks and Gokuu head to the future. There they are confronted by Black, now more powerful than ever and sporting a transformation of his own, Super Saiyan Rosé. Shockingly, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta is critically injured when Black stabs him in the back.
Episode #34:
A Part: Zamasu serves tea to Gowasu, who is watching a replay of the Seventh Universe-Sixth Universe Tournament. Zamasu is shocked to find Son Gokuu fighting as a representative of a god in a tournament, to say nothing of capable of using god ki. Zamasu next notices the Super Dragon Balls orbiting the tournament arena. Gowasu explains the Super Dragon Balls to Zamasu, who takes careful note. In the future timeline, Super Saiyan Rosé Black proves an equal-match for the tag-team of Gokuu and Trunks. Finally, a blast from behind stuns Gokuu long enough for Black to deliver a critical blow. The one who attacked is...Zamasu? Somehow, Zamasu and Black are comrades! Trunks stabs Zamasu with a full-power sword attack, but Zamasu removes the sword and tosses it aside. The wound quickly heals as Zamasu explains he is now immortal.
B Part: Future Mai and Future Yajirobe save Gokuu, Vegeta and Trunks and pull them to safety. Thanks to senzu brought with them from the past the three recover and consider their options. Trunks is happy to see that his Mai survived somehow. Zamasu and Gowasu discuss philosophy while Zamasu serves tea. Beers, Whis and the Kaiou-shin of the Seventh Universe continue to watch closely. Gowasu's not oblivious to the cruelty growing in his pupil. Worse, he believes he can reason with Zamasu and thus shows no outward sign of irregularity. Finally, Gowasu drinks his cooled tea, but suffers a painful death from the poison poured into it.
Episode #35:
A Part: Whis rewinds time to before Gowasu's death so that Beers can confront and kill Zamasu. Gowasu is shocked at the development and Beers mentions in an off-the-cuff manner that he probably should’ve let Gowasu die for being such a sentimental, contemptible fool, but Whis reminds him that it would only cause him a headache later when the Destruction God of the Tenth Universe found out.
B Part: With Zamasu being immortal it appears unlikely that he can be defeated in combat. As Vegeta and the others wrack their brain over what they can do next, Trunks remembers a story his mother told him of how the MaFuuBa was used by Piccolo at the Twenty-Third Tenka’ichi Budoukai to seal away God. Gokuu isn’t exactly excited to resort to such a tactic to defeat Black and Zamasu, but agrees that Trunks should go and get Piccolo so he can use the technique. Just then, Black and Zamasu finally track down Gokuu and friends’ ki and attack. Trunks returns to the past while Gokuu and Vegeta hold off Black and Zamasu. Soon after, Trunks returns with Piccolo and Blooma, who reckons that her help will be needed to help fashion more fuel for the time machine. Gokuu and Vegeta outsmart the arrogant duo of Zamasu long enough to force them within close enough approximation that Piccolo can use the MaFuuBa on both at the same time. The two struggle against the MaFuuBa more than Piccolo can handle with so much less ki than both and the sealing fails. Desperate to finish of their enemies, Zamasu and Black merge using the Potara.
Episode #36:
A Part: Merged Zamasu’s ki oozes from his body and alone threatens to destroy the solar system. Gokuu and Vegeta cannot even get near him! Gowasu and the Kaiou-shin of the Seventh Universe arrive on the scene thanks to the use of Time Rings. Whis and Beers also arrive, although Beers is clearly displeased to be there “I’ve already played my part!” he says. Rolling his eyes, Whis loudly talks to himself about how it sure would be helpful if Gokuu and Vegeta worked together to fight Zamasu. There's not enough people on Earth in this timeline to perform the Genki-dama, so Gokuu finally relents and agrees to merge with Vegeta using the Potara. Vegetto is reformed!
B: Part: Vegetto transforms into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and engages in battle with Zamasu at full power. The battle is magnificent, but it becomes clear that the merger for both combatants is imperfect. Gokuu and Vegeta are two separate beings at heart and can never become one completely, so it places incredible strain on their life. Meanwhile, Merged Zamasu is simply the same soul combined with itself. The body of Merged Zamasu begins to break down even faster as a result, allowing for Trunks to deliver a finishing blow that saves Vegetto from certain death.
Episode #37:
A Part: Zamasu crumbles, but his hatred goes on. Vegetto splits back into Gokuu and Vegeta before they can attempt to dispel Zamasu’s wicked ki. According to Gowasu, a Potara merger without a Kaioushin involved can last only an hour at most, but it seems that in this case they already burned through the Potara’s energy. Zamasu’s anguish allows his spirit to take the form of a purple and pink cloud of death. The cloud suffocates the world, killing nearly all of the inhabitants. Gokuu uses the button given to him by the Present Zen-Ou to summon the Future Zen-Ou. Future Zen-Ou finds Zamasu to be a real headache, so he destroys him instantaneously. Finding the entire universe to be a pain, Zen-Ou then destroys the Future Seventh Universe. Gokuu and friends barely escape in time via the time machine.
B Part: Back in the present, Gokuu introduces Future Zen-Ou to Present Zen-Ou to be his friend. Trunks and Mai bid Gokuu and the others farewell as they embark on repairing the future and the next chapter of their lives.
