Nothing in the scene/dialogue implied that Merged Zamasu was weakened when he fought Future Trunks, he didn't show signs of being exhausted or worn out. Don't know why people insist in that. "Sword Of Hope" or whatever the name is was show to be more efficient than Vegetto Blue's Final Kamehameha, so yes Future Trunks has surpassed Vegetto.
Immorality breaking down
Fusion was becoming unstable
Speed was shit
Losing his shit in general
Pretty much indicates he was not at his best

- He still could regenerate himself
- Not show
- But still Vegetto couldn't do any major damage
- He was losing his shit since the very beginning

Nothing clearly indicated that Merged Zamasu was weakened when Trunks came to fight him.

Pretty much. But it seems that unless the show tells us, it didn't happened.

Didn't we have thread talked about how Super should show not tell, but when it does that people complained about the show not telling us stuff?

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Cool? Yeah. Original, no. And SSJ4 had black hair too.

SSJ4 is non-canon. So that argument is already invalid. And you're wrong, it IS an original design.

I wonder, will we get an arc similar to the one with Hit where Goku tries to have a no-holds barred rematch with Jiren? Because Jiren is even more handicapped here than Hit was in the U6 tournament (no flight as well as no killing) and he's still set to stomp Goku's shit in.

Also, hiring an assassin is one thing, but how will Goku lure out a superhero for a rematch? Rob a bank :lol: ?

You were discussing about the form's design not its origins and backstory but you used an argument that has nothing to do with it just for the sake of it...
Also just because SSJ4 is non canon doesnt mean it cant be used in topics about transformations in DB as a whole, it is still a tranformation and SSJ4 is a hell of a lot more original than what we got, tho SSJ4 is like the exaggerated version while this one is on the simple side.

It looks good in the promotional posters but in the image above...it's just Goku with a slightly different looking aura and different colour irises.

For all the complaining people did with Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue, they at least had completely unique colours, with a unique and colourful aura. They stand out and are noticeable.

This new form is either gonna look good or its going to be one of the laziest designs for a new transformation ever. Goku with silver eyes and a slightly different aura.
The preview of 111 ask if Goku can master the new form/skill. I think the black hair will be the imperfect form.
Later Goku will perfect the form with Silver hair. I'm sure about it !

The cannonicity of a form has NOTHING to do with the quality of the form's design and aestetics.

New summaries for 111 and 112. Not a whole lot here. Hit powers up time skip, Monna uses high speed tackles, and Frieza is a grump. Nothing for 112 and 113.

And this tidbit from Toshio about either the new form or the new technique.

So the word even has Goku in it and it doubles as a pun on selfishness? Damn it really is meant for him!

I'm really confused, how is having "Mastery over Self-Movement" going to make Goku stronger? Yeah it may make him tougher to beat, but just because you can react faster won't make you the automatic winner. Is the new form stronger or what?

It doesn't grant a power boost, it does, however, make him a near impossible to defeat opponent.

You don't need to be strong, or powerful, or have a large ki rating.. When you have this ability, it's an automatic win for you over anyone who doesn't possess it. (At least in 99% of all cases).
