Why Didn't Zamasu Choose Hit Instead of Goku?

[Smilodon]

I mean....Zamasu was watching "Kami Tube" and he saw Goku and Hitto fighting.
But we watched the fight too and...I think Hitto was more impressive than Goku. That's why i think:

1) Hitto has a unique technique...Even a god like Beerus was asking Whis how to defeat his technique;
2) His improvments were amazing...Even Whis became a little afraid with his potential;
3) He wasn't using all his techniques because of the rules;
4) He wasn't beyond his limits, while Goku was almost dying by himself to be in same level.
5) It's possible that Hitto is stronger than Merged Zamasu because he was fighting a SSJBlue + x10 Kaioken, and Merged Zamasu fought SSJB x2 Kaioken and had a bad time.

Hit didn't humiliate Zamasu, Goku did..
That God defying simpleton! How dare he!

Also, he watched Goku using God Ki in that fight with Hit, which I assume made him even more butthurt about losing to him. How he noticed Goku was using God Ki by watching TV I'll never know though

[Araki]

If we're talking about the manga, that's a valid question..

[Byuiso]

Hit isn't playful like Goku and I could see Hit not respecting Zamasu ideology. I could see Hit just killing Zamasu because he doesn't come off as friendly or respectful. The playful nature of Goku is what angers someone like Zamasu in my opinion.

God Ki seems to radiate with a type of viscous fluid composition instead of retaining the more barbed fulminous aesthetic of generic mortal derived Ki. The auras are also oftentimes filled with particles or lavalike residual effects, attacks powered by this Ki also exhibit these internal traits. I suppose these characteristics are included to reinforce the otherworldliness and eccentricity of God Ki.

Much of what drove Zamasu to revile Goku more when he took notice of the video rendition of his battle with Hit was the pretentious indifference this upstart Saiyan ningen displayed while parading this sacred and inviolable energy of the gods like it was his own. Goku had already carved an odious impression in Zamasu's mindset prior during the close upfront interactions they had when initially encountering each other. In his own way he was taking a special interest in Goku like his mentor, Gowasu, except his was of a different temperamental variety; for him, the proverbial straw which broke the camel's back. Hit wasn't nearly quite the spectacle like the glistering resplendence of a god aura that is being so undeservedly exploited for a perverse reimaging of a lowly apish transformation.

True, the mere thought of an unadulterated ningen inherently wielding the strength and ability necessary to oppose a being with God Ki would damn Hit in Zamasu's feverish eyes, especially since he's callously undermining the heavenly edict of temporal distortion, in the presence of gods no less, but Zamasu was fixated on Goku. Just as Vegeta, Freeza, and Cell became obsessed with challenging the Saiyan wonder, Zamasu was spurred by Goku to act upon his ideology. He's the topmost priority of the "Zero Mortal Plan" next to exterminating any potential opposition with the God of Destruction.

God Ki.Zamasu already hated mortals and to see someone using their sacred power. Angered him.

[Yedis]

"Hit Black" or "Black Hit" wouldn't sell as much merchandise.


But seriously, I think you make great points, I would chalk it up to his obsession with Goku being stronger than him clouded his judgement.

[FortuneSSJ]

Because Goku is a human that uses God Ki and that caught Zamasu (the one that becomes Goku Black) attention.
The one from main timeline was beaten by Goku, and that started his love/hate relationship for him. After he know Goku can use God Ki, the trigger was pulled.

[Doctor.]

If we're talking about the manga, that's a valid question..

It still isn't. Zamasu heard about Goku from Kaioshin, so Goku was the one he was investigating and, naturally, the one he'd turn his attention to. Also, Goku in the manga clearly had the upperhand, unlike the anime where Hit was the one who was winning.

[Lord Beerus]

My assumption has been that Goku showed more Blood-Knight characteristics in his fight with Hit, in him enjoying the thrill of the battle, while also pushing himself far beyond his limits in a battle that ultimately had not stakes, while Hit was more professionally and composed on the matter. And Goku's displays of his characteristics during the fight better represented what Zamasu thought of mortals, as they can be incredibly reckless with immense power.

[batistabus]

In the manga, where SSB Kaioken doesn't exist, Goku is able to easily overpower Hit with SSB. Since SSB Kaioken wasn't in the manga, I think it's safe to assume it wasn't in Toriyama's outline. Because Toriyama wrote the Black/Zamasu arc based on his outline for the Universe 6 tournament and not the anime, he would only base Zamasu's decisions on what he originally envisioned.

In summary, Hit isn't as strong as the anime made him seem. Also, he doesn't defile the ki of the gods like Goku does.

[Gig]

While in the anime Hit appears much stronger than in the manga, Zamasu's attention was caught by Goku using god ki and then he focused on the Super Dragon Balls. It doesn't seem he paid attention to how the match actually ended, and to who had the upper hand at that time...

Also, for the sake of the plot, an Hit Black would not have had the same effect of a Goku Black. Maybe a such plot may have focused around the confusion due to the real Hit already wearing black clothes, requiring some time for the characters to understand they were two different people...

[Chuquita]

Because Zamasu is vain and Gokû has the prettier face and that full head of hair.

Seriously though, I think it's just a matter of Gokû leaving that deep an impact on him. How many people does Zamasu meet and have conversations with day to day? Not many, likely.
