"The Candidate for Next Kaiōshin of Universe 10, Zamasu" is the seventeenth chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga series written and illustrated by Toyotarō, with supervision and guidance from original Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the December 2016 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump, with a sale date of 21 October 2016.
Summary
Gowasu and Zamasu watch from the sidelines as the primitive beasts on Planet Babari battle each other. This is how they act now, but what about a thousand years in the future? Will they have evolved beyond this kind of activity? Gowasu takes out a "Time Ring" — which Zamasu appears to have heard of before — and explains that they can use these under special circumstances to visit the future and then return to their exact world as before. Zamasu asks about traveling to the past, but Gowasu explains that this is strictly forbidden and is extremely dangerous. When history is changed via time travel, a different or parallel world is created and a new ring is born. A being from an advanced civilization in Universe 12 had created a method of time travel, and a ring was born from their escapades. Gowasu looks down at the box again, and notices that there are four rings, one more than he last observed. Someone very recently must have traveled into the past and created a parallel world. Pausing for a moment, Zamasu notes that he understands, and wishes to continue with their trip a thousand years into the future to observe the progress of the Babarians. Only Kaiōshin are allowed to time travel, so Gowasu temporarily promotes Zamasu from Kaiō to Kaiōshin with a Potara earring for the trip. They are sure to place the earrings on the same side so as to not inadvertently fuse for eternity; this idea does not seem to amuse Zamasu in the least.
The pair travel into the future, and at first, things seem promising: Gowasu finds shelter, signs of a writing system, and even a musical instrument. Around the corner, however, Zamasu finds that the entire civilization at war with one another, perhaps even worse than before. Zamasu concludes that the universe would indeed be better off without these kinds of beings. Gowasu notices what appears to be an elder about to intervene, but at that moment, the gods are attacked from behind. Zamasu knocks the beastman backward and Gowasu announces that it is time for them to depart. Ignoring him entirely, Zamasu flares with anger and forms an energy blade around his hand. Zamasu slices the alien in half, concluding the attack with a smirk. Gowasu screams at Zamasu that they are leaving; the two immediately return, and Gowasu asks for the earring back along with an explanation of what just transpired. Zamasu explains that these worthless creatures do not deserve to live and wonders why the Kaiōshin exist at all if their only duty is to watch, rather than to use their power to intervene and judge. They must be rational and fair as gods, Gowasu explains. The trip has taken a toll on him, though, and he wishes Zamasu to prepare some tea.
Back on Earth, the heroes are engaged in a massive go-kart (video game!) race. When Vegeta is unable to take a successful turn at high speeds, Beerus finds his opening and takes the lead. The younger Trunks will not stand for this, and tosses a turtle shell to knock the god aside, enabling the future Trunks to secure a win. As Beerus and Whis depart, Goku suggests that they all get some rest in preparation for their next battle against Goku Black. Trunks wishes to help Goku and Vegeta battle, so Vegeta invites Trunks to the gravity room in the morning for training.
Back in Universe 10, Zamasu is reviewing the fight between Goku and Hit on GodTube. Gowasu pops in and finds Zamasu watching the battle, having specifically searched for "Son Goku". Zamasu deflects this inquiry, instead noting how even the Omni-King made an appearance at the tournament. Zamasu delicately inquires about the floating objects above the tournament; Gowasu explains that these are likely the Super Dragon Balls which are capable of granting any wish.
As the younger Trunks pulls himself out of bed, the future Trunks is already hard at work sparring with Vegeta inside the gravity chamber. Goku meditates alone, floating above a pond, as Beerus also stumbles himself awake. Shin also makes an appearance to request a moment with Beerus; in turn, Beerus demands to know if any other gods might be particularly extreme in their mindset. Whis expands on this, suggesting perhaps a god who may be interested in the extermination of all humans…? Kaiōshin pauses and notes that he might be familiar with someone like that. Goku hops in as Kaiōshin answers the question: Kibito! None other than Kibito, Shin's attendant, has said discriminatory things about humans! (Such as them not being allowed to set foot on the Kaiōshin world… which Whis explains is perhaps not quite so extreme to the degree they were thinking.) Beerus wants to follow up on this lead, but Whis receives a transmission from the Great Priest: the Omni-King wishes to see Goku right this moment! Goku does not particularly want to go, especially since the trip will take Whis two days. Shin can simply teleport them there, however, saving a great deal of time. Beerus sends Whis along with them, as well, aggressively reminding Goku to be on his best behavior and not mention anything about this "Goku Black" character. Finally, Beerus sternly demands that Shin not die.
The group departs and are greeted by the Great Priest; Goku, in turn, exclaims, "Heya, I'm Son Goku!"
Continuity
The events of the manga and the anime diverge significantly. Below are the main differences, along with the episodes where the events of this chapter occur or contrast.
- In the anime, Zamasu is introduced to the Time Rings when Beerus inquires after them in episode 53, and Whis notices that Zamasu does not appear to have heard of them before.
- Gowasu and Zamasu visit Planet Babari in episode 54 of the anime.
- Gowasu does not say that it has been 400 years since he last used a Time Ring in the anime.
- The alternate timeline created by Universe 12 is not mentioned in the anime.
- The go-kart game does not happen in the anime.
- Vegeta trains Trunks in episode 54 of the anime, but outside rather than in the gravity room.
- In episode 57, Zamasu finds Gowasu watching Goku fight Hit on GodTube. Gowasu jokes that he is thinking about becoming a GodTuber. Zamasu observes Goku fighting as a Super Saiyan Blue, rather than as a Super Saiyan God as he does in the manga. Zamasu asks about the "planets" in the background, and Gowasu explains the Super Dragon Balls.
- Kibito was never a suspect for Goku Black in the anime, because Black's ki in episode 50 reminded Beerus and Whis of Zamasu, making him the main suspect. (In the manga, Black does not follow Trunks to his own past.)
- In the anime, Beerus and Whis have returned to Beerus's Planet when the Omni-King personally calls to request a visit from Goku at the end of episode 54. In episode 55, Goku teleports directly to Beerus's planet on his request. Whis tells him it will take two days to fly there (same as in the manga), so Whis suggests Goku ask Shin (who is not present in the anime as he is in the manga) to take them there. Beerus does not want to go, but he tells Goku to refrain from mentioning time travel to the Omni-King, and tells Whis to make sure Shin stays alive. Whis explains the life link to Goku. Later in the episode, Goku goes to the Universe 7 Kaiōshin Realm to ask Shin to take them. They arrive in episode 56.
Adaptation
Important notes on the Viz English adaptation of this chapter:
- Gowasu does not specify that there is only one new Time Ring in the Japanese manga dialogue. He only says that the number of rings has increased, and the term he uses for "universe" (世界 sekai) could be either singular or plural. Viz adapts it as explicitly singular: "They've increased in number since the last time I checked...! No way... someone must have created another new universe recently..." According to the established time travel lore, there should have been three new Time Rings created since the last time Gowasu checked them (400 years ago, in the manga).
- Gowasu does specify that there is "one" new Time Ring in episode 54 of the anime. The official Closed Captions use the numeral "1" (１つ) for the word 一つ (hitotsu). Toyotarō does not use this word at all.
上の段の指輪は数年前に１つ増えたばかりでなまた別の世界をつくった者がいるようで。
A new ring was added to the top row just a few years ago. Apparently, someone created another world.
- Goku refers to the Omni-King as 全王さん (Zen'ō-san) as opposed to the more-formal 全王様 (Zen'ō-sama), causing Beerus to spit up his drink. Viz adapts this as "Zenny" in their English translation of the manga. This is separate from the extremely informal "Zen-chan" nickname that Goku will use later in the next chapter, which Funimation adapts as "Zenny" in the anime. (Viz just uses "Zen-chan".)
Notes
- The self-insert video game the group plays is likely a reference to Nintendo's Mario Kart series: beyond the turtle shell thrown (complete with its own 亀 or kame symbol), the group appears to be playing on Wii U controller/tablet pads.
