Oh, wow You know, I read the original line and it said Autumn but I turned my brain off anyway and August was close enough (right? ).

That pic makes it look like Goku Black is coming for some Trunks Booty .
But yeah, outfit, not sold on. Looks pretty bland except for the earring.

Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.
How the Black Arc Should End (by Lightbing!):
Spoiler:
Absolute Zamasu(my name for their fusion) wins. He fulfils his utopia and dwells in his loneliness(x amount of time for this to happen). He starts to doubt of his achievements, Goku's body influences him to seek out challenges but there's nothing. Perfection becomes a curse. Absolute Zamasu starts to dread his existence and presents himself to the Omni-King, detailing on his actions.
Using his powers the Omni-King restores everything to the moment before Goku and Vegeta perish, humanity's last barrier. Zamasu concedes. He ask for forgiveness(mainly to Goku, Gowasu and Trunks) and understands that his justice isn't justice at all. He asks for judgement and the Omni-King delivers.
Trunks is forced never to travel in time ever again, all the time-machines are destroyed.

Ugh. Still not that intrigued by the prospect of Evil Goku.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Can you guys put spoiler tags on the image quoted ? Its really annoying seeing the same pic over and over again when scrolling down. Anyway, any news about the new summaries and titles ? I though they should be out by now.

I dunno. It makes far more sense than Mai or Pan ever did. Bulma fell for the homicidal maniac who killed her friends and countless others. So Trunks falling for another probably homicidal maniac is just in the genes. This family has a fucked up sense of romance.

Gojitaaf has confirmed Mosako Nozawa is indeed voicing Goku Black: Tullece returns lol.
I'm really not feeling this "Villainous Goku" from the future, but am still looking forward to Future Trunks coming back. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
Ah so it is Tree of Might 2: Tullece Returns: The Reckoning

Not that I doubt she'll be playing Goku Black, but I don't think he's confirmed anything? That screenshot was from a news article that i don't believe mentioned anything about who she was voicing in the studio, and only the press at the Super Heroes reveal event would know what the message said as far as I know.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

I'm only quoting what he said alongside posting that picture. Someone asked him if there was a video, and he said not at the moment.
Apologies if it turns out to be false. I do trust him, as his information is usually pretty solid for the most part.

I was hoping so much that she'd voice him! Very happy to hear she is.
