Ok so let me see if I understand correctly, our heroes have now got to beat a fusion warrior made form fighters who are comparable and/or close to themselves in power, that is immortal, that grows stronger from any damage done to him and who also has aura/barrier around him that will stop any attacks even when he's not paying attention.

How much more unfair dose this fight need to get!

Well actually they do, two sets in fact. The Kaioahin's and Gowasu's.

A wall of light?! Here I thought I couldn't like Zamasu more.
Feels like a RPG Final Boss battle.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Final Judgment, b******!! I can't wait a whole week to see how this plays out! Now with the Mafuba as a unusable option, I honestly wonder if Fusion is what will get the job done this time around.

Honestly, I have to ask...why couldn't they have served as the final villain of a DB series?! This is epic! Seriously, how do you top this?!

Even when Goku and Vegeta supposedly fuse, I STILL don't know how they'd win. Maybe Vegito could fuse with Trunks. I don't see that happening, but a canon three way fusion WOULD be badass.

Hopefully not Zeno

Gowasu or the Supreme Kai can get the tag from Roshi. They have a Time Ring and are literally doing nothing.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Yeah, Gowasu and Supreme Kai are most likely gonna give one of their rings to Goku and Vegeta and then go back in time to go get the seal. They also might get a new Jar to.

What i find unneccesary is this Wall of Light that he's emitting that evaporates anything it touches.. I mean, he's so insanely more powerful than Goku and Vegeta now that he doesn't even need to use something like that. It feels like a desperate move. And on top of that he's immortal. I really hoped he would've reserved such a technique for his battle with Vegetto. It's totally unneccesary and overkill.

The thing is he's not doing it intentionally, its just happening. The only thing I can think of is that his body is giving off so much energy that its creating a barrier around him. It either has something to do with Black's corrupted powers being magnified by the fusion or unlocking new ones.....or it could because they fused while Black was SSR and Fused Zamasu's body is unstable yet held together by his immortality.

I think the idea will be that Vegetto is so powerful that the wall of light doesn't harm him (or at least he's strong enough to power through the pain it causes him), allowing him to have an actual fight with Zamasu.

After thinking about it. I think that this arc could end soon but that it won't be the end of Zamasu.

Think about it, if Zeno "destroys" Zamasu, everyone will think that they have won, but as Zamasu is inmortal, he could easily reappear and make an even better plan before attacking, and what about if this time he decides to attack in the main timeline?
In this case, i could really see every single god of destruction involved as Toriyama said.
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

I think we'll see them manage to seal him away with the Mafuba (Bulma or Kaioshin will go back to get the amulet) and then they'll give the jar to Zeno, then a couple arcs down the road somehow he'll get free.

May I ask why some think Zamasu will get an encore after this arc? The only villain Toriyama ever brought back was Freeza, over twenty years after he died.

Because he's immortal and he's a fan favorite already.

Being a fan favorite doesn't mean he will return. Toriyama may do the opposite to spite the fandom. And Freeza was a fan favorite and it took Toriyama over twenty years to bring him back and humiliate and kill him.

Super is absolutely full of fan service and we also know Toriyama is at least somewhat responsive to suggestions from the editorial department for story ideas, so if Zamasu is just sealed away then him coming back is totally possible.

Fan service to a point. Like we don't see Vegeta getting with Super Saiyan 3 when Beerus slapped Bulma, or Trunks getting Super Saiyan 3 or Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Vegeta didn't defeat Black to 'get a win' on Goku, although he did get some hits in. Beerus got no major fights despite fans wanting to fight Black or Merged Zamasu.

Super has fan service, but there is a limit to how much Toriyama and even Toei pander to the base.

Oh really? I hope you're right! I would have far less problems with that if it were unintentional.

Almighty Zamasu has his arms up out stretched to the side a lot in what we've seen, I wonder if he going to be so self absorbed now that he thinks he is a messiah.

Well the preview translation says that Zamasu is so rapt up in his own awesomeness that he isn't even trying to defend himself yet our heroes can't get anywhere near him due to this "light aura" he's giving off.

We've had villains like Cell who just take hits without noticing bu this is a whole other level, a guy so powerful that his aura alone is preventing him from being attacks even when he's not paying any attention!
