That's... a damn good question. Especially since Kaioshin can visit the home-worlds of other Kaioshin from other universes when they please.

They escaped to the past. Black can't follow because he'd just return to HIS past, and not Gowasu's past.

Wait, what happened? I'm confused. Also, damn shame Gowasu kicked the bucket. But if that's the, case shouldn't the Hakaishin of U10 be dead?
Some time shenanigans and dragon balls will probably fix that. Also, according to Herms, the link between timelines is closing, Goku and crew can only travel to Trunks' world one more time before the link is completely closed.
Are you sure they time travelled? Because Kaioshin is apparently able to sense that Gowasu dies.

Wait... timelines have time specific links that, once are closed, can prevent you from time-travelling to that specific timeline again? Hmm. Never knew that was a thing.

EDIT: I'd just like to take this moment and say... time travel in Dragon Ball sucks. :lol:

Nobody's criticizing anything, people are asking questions.

Looks like the manga has significantly deviated from the anime again.

Watch him make a Genkidama sword with Vegeta, Goku and Mai's Ki only.

That's to be expected now that Toyotaro apparently has the time to do what he wants and doesn't need to catch up to the anime.

Christ... you were doing so good Toyotaro! WTF?! That's not even a thing that's been alluded to ever! It also closes (or at least barricades) the door to more stories with Future Trunks.

Oh well, the rest of the chapter seems fine. I'll let it slide for now.

The Genki Dama Sword was bad ass though. It was at least a pretty unique way to go.

It was dumb. I'm glad it's gone.

I just hope this doesn't mean that Trunks is useless for the rest of the arc. Even if done with asspulls, Trunks was pretty useful in the anime. The only useful thing he has done so far in the manga was let Goku and Vegeta escape.

Having Trunks beat Zamasu using everyone's hopes or whatever seems like a pretty major plot point that would be present in Toriyama's script, I'm sure Toyo will have to find a way to follow it.

this is just a speculation
Trunks is going to seal merged zamasu with the mafuba instead of the genkidama sword

I so want the Genkia Dama to appear in the manga. It sounds just like the sort of faux symbolism, bat-shit, crazy tidbit that Toriyama would idly throw in for shits and giggles.

Badass things aren't necessarily good, they also have to hold up somewhat well under scrutiny. Trunks as we saw him in the anime was a metaphorical mansion built in the sand. Luckily, that's a problem that Toyotaro has avoided, maybe he'll find a good way to have Trunks win.

Toriyama did weird shit sometimes, but never that big of an asspull.

I'd hate that. The Mafuba as a concept just isn't a secure way to defeat an opponent. He can get released at any point in the future and then you have to deal with him again.

I'm pretty sure that the Omni-king is going to "take care" of everything just like in the anime, we know there are two Omni-kings in the manga next arc, and it's a big plot point. Seeing as how the Genki sword doesn't seem like a plot point, either Vegetto defuses and they press the button as a last resort, or there's no fusion at all and they just press the button anyway.
