Hopefully it's posted soon. I can't believe the guy who photographed it didn't at least get the Black Goku side too, seeing Toriyama's concept art is like my favorite thing about these scans.

To clarify that Google translated quote, since the gist is there but perhaps not very clear: Trunks states that the only way to save the future Earth from the crisis of "Gokuu Black" is to utilize the power of Gokuu and co. Backing up that claim is a notebook addressed to Bulma...!

So perhaps Trunks brought a notebook written by future Bulma to give to past Bulma with her notes about the future situation?

Edit: looks like Herms beat me to it...

Also! Also! Unrelated, but I'm really excited that Shinichirou Miki will be playing Zamasu. God, can't wait to hear that manly, sexy voice... :D

Thanks to your post though, I realized ノート really should be "notebook" here rather than simply "note" as I originally had it, since 一冊 implies an entire book. Aren't counters fun?

There will be a new ending starting from July. "Yokayoka Dance" from Batten Shoujo Tai (X Girl Squad? Anyway, an idol group).

I was hoping for something that would fit the tone of this arc better...

A song titled "Easy going Dance" by an idol group doesn't give me confidence that it will be tonally fitting.

True, idol groups have managed "extreme" ending pieces in other anime to fit their tone. I wouldn't be so quick to assume it'll be too poppy.

Comment from song-writer Takemasa Ono:
"It's a song about how even when things are rough, you can smile and overcome it! I'll be glad if it gets people excited during live concerts! By the way, I wrote it while dancing (^O^) Yoka-Yoka dance! Heh!!!"
Sounds...interesting.

How'd he know Goku was alive ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

The promo stuff has constantly talked like Trunks should know Goku is alive (like saying he'd be going to the past to get Goku's help), but nothing like that has matched the show so far. So, I wouldn't think much about it for now.

He knows now.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Episode's titles and summaries didn't leak this month and I find more thrilling this way. I'm ok with knowing details about the next week's episode but knowing what is going to happen in three or four weeks spoils the plot a lot.

Considering the description we got before any of this started, I'm pretty sure it's going to extent beyond Earth:
Toriyama wrote:It’s the start of a battle that surpasses time and space, and drags in the God of Destruction, Kaiōshin, even the Omni-King! Many mysteries will be revealed!
That and the new Kaioshin-looking guy makes me think there's much more going on here.
