Like RPG enemies that wait hero turn to counter attack.
There are moments when it really seems they wait for an attack button to be pressed. Goku and Vegeta talk, heal, discuss, evaluate... and the enemy float doing nothing. For minutes.
That's just DBZ logic. Plus Black and Zamasu's egos are so huge that they think it wouldn't make a difference anyway.
It's anime logic, Heroes will always have time to talk about the important stuff no matter what the villain is doing.
That's true, but the "strange" fact is how, for example, Merged Zamasu stand still open arms, floating mid air, staring at nothing the whole time Goku & co. hide, heal, discuss, and do major retcons XD. He wasn't laughing, shouting,moving... the air stand still... freezed.
A kinda Dark Sephirot waiting for attack button to be pressed.
I learned english listening to songs. So I don't know anything about. The day you had to learn play piano by just listening .mp3, you'll understand.

Zamasu: Now, with my divine pwoer, I shall-
Goku: Time out! Time out!
Zamasu: Wha- Again!? You can't do that!
Trunks: It says so in the rule book, you have to give us time to discuss important plot points.
Zamasu: I bet the other villains don't have to put up with this bullshit...
Trunks: We're also gonna need time for Goku to convince Father to put on the porta earrings
Zamasu: OH, COME ON!
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

If anyone is keen to see my resultant review here it is

http://www.capsulecomputers.com.au/drag ... rc-review/

Thanks for reading guys if you did, any feedback is appreciated. If you don't want to read it that's fine here is my summary

In conclusion, the Future Trunks arc showed promise but unfortunately is let down by a rushed ending, a few inconsistencies with past lore and some slow paced meaningless content. It is not without its moments though as some great nostalgia driven call backs, amazingly animated sections and two memorable villains save the arc from being a disaster, earning itself a deserved spot alongside other classic arcs in the series history even if it may not be entirely for the right reasons. If you’re a fan make sure to check it out on AnimeLab, Crunchyroll or Daisuke where it is 100% free to watch for everyone.

Score: 7/10
