Arc continues into next month?!

That's surprising. Maybe they will have enough Zamasu arc chapters to fill another full volume.

If that's what's happening, then I want to know exactly how he unlocked it. I also want to know what it looks like. Will it look like his base? Will it be his SSJ2 hair but base coloured? SSJ1? Will it stand straight up somehow? Will it magically get one bang like Gohan?? :o

So whats going on? even after his RoF time Goku's still for some reason above Vegeta?
WHAT!?!

And since when could Future Trunks restore physical power? What an asspull. That's even worse than Future Trunks learning the Mafuba in a few minutes.
People could always donate their ki to each other. It's just usually useless as it's someone weaker to someone way stronger, like Krillin and Gohan giving Piccolo ki. Trunks base form is on par if not arguably greater than Goku's, so restoring him in his base state is fine. Now if he healed all his injuries I'd call bullshit, but if he just gave him more ki, that's happened before.

Trunks: Goku's amazing... he can actually fight with Zamasu head on.
Vegeta: Kakarot can control the overflowing power of blue and contain it. (at least something like this, Vegeta's saying the power of blue overflows and comes out, but Goku can contain it)
Trunks: ?
Vegeta: The weakness of blue where you can only fight to your full potential in a short while.... Kakarot overcame it.
Trunks: Then... right now Goku is?
Vegeta: He's constantly fighting at a 100%... he's perfected Super Saiyan Blue.
Ok....

I wonder when Goku figured this out, was it before the arc and he's only testing it now? Or did he figure it out just after they defused?

We Janemba now? Anyways, it's a very interesting direction, but my god, is this being dragged on more than I had anticipated. Was sure that it would end this month. Also, I love how Goku is drawn here, especially with his torn clothing.

Ok now that I will call out. That happened way too suddenly how? Also come on there's no way that'd make such a big difference against Zamasu who was way stronger anyways.

This is the indication that he made it permanent. Trunks did the same, but with a smaller power-up. And Vegeta discovering a new power-up for SS2 makes more sense than getting a rage boost like Gohan & Oob did, because Vegeta doesn't have any dormant powers left in him since he's trained himself to his limits, and Babidi even brought him beyond his limits in the past.
And if Vegeta knew how monstrously strong his SSJ2 form was, he would have needed to to act like an idiot and use SSJB on Cabba.
What? Vegeta wanted to show Cabba the latest Super Saiyan form, which is Super Saiyan Blue.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I'm guessing Goku was just exhausted in the fight before they fused, so he couldn't do it.

I would love to see Trunks get Ultimate with a reasonable explanation of course. We still have like 35 pages to be revealed, so let's hold our horses. Let's see how everything unravels.

Goku and Vegeta can already control SSJB in the anime :think:

Goku did not damaged Zamasu, anyway. His not at his level.

You raise your battle power in every form. It isn't exclusive to SSJ2. And the rage boost wasn't exclusive to SSJ2 either. It just raised Vegeta's battle power overall as a whole several times over. It would have had the same effect if he was a SSJ, like he was in the movie.

And it wasn't a necessity for Vegtea to show off SSJB to Cabba. And if he wanted to, he didn't need to power down.

Vegeta got Black all to himself so I guess it's fair to give Goku something.

We also don't know what will happen when Zamasu defuses, for all we know Vegeta could take on Black again.

What I'm interested in is how will Zeno play into this and if Goku can take care of this then why will we get an Ultimate Trunks ?

Didn't Vegeta already master Super Saiyan Blue before? And now suddenly Goku learned the step beyond that just from watching Vegeta and/or being Vegetto?

If only he took the opportunity to use Kaioken so we could end with Kaiokenable Goku in both continuities.

It seems there was no way to make this chaos of an ending make sense. A Fused Immortal God was just too overpowered from the getgo.
Well, one more month (maybe 2) before this arc ends, gotta wait.

So Goku with all of Future Trunks physical power, resulting in him mastering SSJB, is putting up a match against Merged Zamasu? Huh. Does this mean that Mastered SSJB Goku has become on par, if not stronger, than SSJB Vegetto? Because if so... holy shit. :shock:

I guess so. He did say he couldn't go Blue...then forced Blue and got his ass kicked....so maybe. Kinda makes Vegetto look worse considering how much more ridiculously powerful compared to Zamasu he'd be if Goku alone at 100% is his supposed equal....but I guess I'll wait for more before making a final call.

I feel bad for Vegeta fans. He's getting shit on so damn hard. Sure, he """"defeated"""" Black, but that was short lived.

Is Goku fighting Merged zamasu evenly?


If he could have done that, what was the point of fusing?
