Man people overreacted so badly to the last chapter. The Manga deviates from the Anime but the major points are the same.

Lord Beerus, you're praising the manga just because Black was not beaten up and Zamasu was useful, quite convincing is not it? His problem was only with Black having been beaten, when in fact he was more consistent like that.
Black SSJ2 fight Vegeta SSB does not make sense
The only thing I'm praising the manga for so far what I've seen is that Zamasu was savvy enough to destroy the senzu beans. If Black really did job out on purpose for the zenkai, then go kudos to him for the strategy, but he could have still done it with Future Zamasu if that was his plant. But I have question how Goku Black was able drop his BP so low for Vegeta to give him the ass kicking that he did in the first place. Especially as Super Saiyan.

And we can't rely on the assumption that the rage boost Vegeta got when fighting Beerus in the BOG arc was permanent because it's never confirmed to be case. That's 100% a theory at this point because nobody comments on how strong Vegeta's SSJ2 form is after that scenario.
It was never established that Vegeta's power-up was temporary, he just got a power up against Beerus & got his ass kicked, and all of us assumed it was temporary. Trunks proves that SS2 can be permanently improved, and Vegeta further proved that it can be improved at an even greater level. We know that Goku & Vegeta are equals in their other forms.

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.

Both manga Black and manga Zamasu have all the abilities that Kaioshin has shown in DBZ. Black freezes Vegeta exactly like Kaioshin did with Gohan and Dabura, and Zamasu uses Kaioshin's telepathy and Kibito's healing. I like that. I don't understand why Trunks is able to distract Black, makes no sense. I mean his powerup in the anime didn't make sense but it gave a good excuse why he stayed behind. He has absolutely no reason to do it in the manga being as weak as he is.

Honestly, I'm just happy to relive the Black and Zamasu tag team of smug again

But where was it said that Black left Vegeta on him on purpose? He was clearly at a disadvantage, would have died had it not been Zamasu, humiliated

It was explained by him and Trunks when he gushes about new abilities he wanted to test or something. I could be wrong I'm going by someone else's translation

I want to read the whole chapter to get a better perspective but I'm really liking a lot what I'm seeing so far. Goku Black could have much smarter in his was of farming zenkai's, but that's the only major criticism I have so far. Goku Black kicking ass and Zamasu being savvy is what I loved in the anime and I'm liking what's going down in this chapter so far. This is a major pick-up from last month's chapter.

Also ,it looks like Future Trunks may be... dying/dead at the end of the chapter :? :shock: :o

So in the manga, the Zero Ningen Plan includes parallel worlds.

Gotta give points to Zamasu for burning the sensu bag (I'm guessing he heard Goku say there were magical healing beans in the bag?). Also, there's no way that Vegeta kicking Black's ass was planned on his end. Unless he saids it in a ''Pfft, I t-t-totally planned you completely humiliating me! Yeah, that's right... Plans..." way.

Yeah, I also don't buy it. He was a second away from dying. Better wait for reliable translations to make any judgements.

It'd be like Vegeta claiming he was hoping Pefect Cell would slaughter him

Seeing as how the aura looks (similar to SSJB) and the shaded hair, I'm assuming this is Black already tapping into Super Saiyan Rose and kicking Vegeta's ass. Also, Zamasu stealing the Senzu Beans from Goku kinda reminded me how Gohan took back the Senzus from Cell. :D
It seems like the Mafuba is actually not just a Toei thing, but also a Toriyama thing. Interesting.
Gotta love how Trunks used the Taiyo-ken on Black and Zamasu. It's nice seeing that move return. Though I still kinda like how in the anime, the human resistance saved Goku and co.
since that did ended up making them relevant.

Like I said before, Black could have come up with a far smarter way of farming Zenkai's. What he did was insanely reckless and a huge gamble. Well, that's actually Zenkai's in a nutshell when you think about it. :lol:

But Goku Black go off the hook big time. I think it may have been unintentional for him to get stronger that way.

So, it looks like Black's Super Saiyan form evolved into Super Saiyan Rosé instead of it being a form beyond Super Saiyan? So, the sparks in his SS form was an indication of him getting closer to SSR, apparently. :think:

My guess is that once Goku & Zamasu switched bodies, their powers switched as well, which is why Zamasu could kill Goku in Zamasu's body. Goku had reached his limits for the near-death power-ups since Freeza arc, but Zamasu was still young with a lot of untapped potential. Having a Saiyan body allowed him to tap into his potential faster, which is why he is unnaturally strong for a Saiyan (stronger than a SS3 in base?!). So he became a Super Saiyan, and once his SS form surpassed the level of SSB, he unlocked his godly ki & evolved into SSR. So, Super Saiyan Rosé is Black-exclusive in the manga as well.

The manga and anime are the same story. Vegeta's SSJ2 surpassed Goku's SSJ3 in BOG arc.
Who ever said the manga is seperate from the anime movie is out right false. Hence why Vegeta was balling up Black in SSJ2.

I just realized something. Doesn't this mean that if Goku or Vegeta were to become Hakaishin, their Super Saiyan Blue forms would change into Super Saiyan Rosé? :o
