Summary
Several years ago, in Future Trunks' timeline…
Kibito and Kaiōshin watch over Trunks as he trains with the Z-Sword. Just as Kaiōshin decides to wrap up their training by tossing a giant cube made of Katchin, Kibito exclaims that Bobbidi is on the move. Confident that they will be able to prevent Majin Boo's resurrection, the trio take off (though Trunks asks if they can restore his clothes to normal before they depart).
A wounded Kaiōshin and Kibito watch as Trunks battles Dabra, Bobbidi cackling all the meanwhile. Dabra spits on the sword, forcing Trunks to let go lest he also be turned to stone. Kaiōshin has clearly miscalculated, with Pui-Pui and Yakon only serving as decoys. It took over ten years to gather this energy, and they are not able to let anyone ruin their plan! Kaiōshin rushes in to attack Dabra, but is handily knocked back. Kibito screams out that he of all people must not die. Dabra appears in front of Kibito and blows him to nothingness as Trunks screams. Bobbidi uses his telekinesis to choke Kaiōshin.
Trunks powers up further, surrounding himself with lightning sparks. Bobbidi seems concerned, but Dabra states that Trunks is still no match for him at this level. Trunks gets in some solid hits as Kaiōshin helps with a little telekinesis of his own, freezing Dabra in his tracks. Trunks takes the opportunity to destroy Dabra with a blast. Kaiōshin relishes in the world being at peace once more and collapses as Trunks runs over to him.
Up on a cliff, Goku Black chuckles, noting how delightful it is for there to be a world here without Universe 7's God of Destruction…
Back in the present-day timeline, Trunks wraps up his explanation to Goku and the others, noting that it was around this point that Black appeared and began killing people. Whis comments to Beerus that he must be dead in this future timeline; very few people are aware that when a Kaiōshin dies, so too will the God of Destruction. Even among the gods, only fairly high-ranking individuals are supposed to know. Beerus wonders if Black is some kind of god, but Whis is seemingly more concerned that he can travel between parallel worlds at will. Trunks confirms that this is the first he has ever heard about a God of Destruction, and is (finally!) formally introduced to Beerus and Whis.
Bulma tells Trunks to go change his clothes since they have to wait for the time machine to charge again, anyway. Trunks meets his present-timeline self, congratulates him on already being able to transform into a Super Saiyan, and tells him to protect his friends. Trunks also meets the current-day Mai, though he does not seem to know either Pilaf or Shuu from his time. As Trunks heads off, Mai comments on how dreamy he is.
Back in the future, Black can feel how "he" truly has vanished from this world. Black wonders if all of the Kaiōshin from the other universes, along with the respective Gods of Destruction, truly have been eliminated, leaving him unopposed. Not one to underestimate a Saiyan, however, he will continue to check things out. A cat finds Mai unconscious in the rubble…
Once again in the present timeline, Goku and the others enjoy a meal as Beerus and Whis banter back and forth about the repercussions of a world without gods. This "Black" guy will presumably show up in their world, as well, and attempt the same thing.
Over in Universe 10, Kibito wraps up a sparring match with Zamasu. Gowasu explains that though Zamasu was indeed the previous North Kaiō in their universe, he is training to be Gowasu's successor as Kaiōshin. As everyone continues to exchange pleasantries, Kaiōshin explains that they in fact did not defeat Boo alone; it was through the help of Son Goku and his friends that they were able to succeed. Zamasu is astonished to hear of these kinds of beings able to achieve the power of gods, and begins to speak of protecting the order of their respective universes.
After Kaiōshin and Kibito depart, Gowasu peeks in on the planet Babari, where the sentient race has developed but have become violent toward each other. Zamasu believes they should exterminate them now; Gowasu is shocked, believing this to be the talk of a God of Destruction. Using special Time Rings, the two could check in on the same race 1,000 years in the future.
"What future will the apprentice-Kaiōshin Zamasu see with the Time Rings…?!"
Interstitial Page
The interstitial page shows us the soul of the Elder Kaiōshin floating above the place where the Z-Sword was destroyed, complaining that he got killed before ever getting a chance to be released from his seal.
Continuity
- In the anime, Trunks merely states that he got “some instruction” from Shin in order to fight Dabra and Bobbidi. In the manga, however, we see that the Universe 7 Kaiōshin actually trained Trunks the exact same way he trained Gohan in the main timeline, which included bringing him to the Kaiōshin Realm, having him retrieve the Z-Sword and train with it.
- The manga shows us that both Shin and Kibito were also present during Trunks’s fight with Dabra and Bobbidi, with both deities losing their lives during the course of the battle. In fact, the manga shows that their deaths were the trigger for Trunks’s first Super Saiyan 2 transformation.
- The anime states that Black and Zamasu killed the Kaiōshin of all universes in order to kill all the Gods of Destruction along with them. In the manga, however, Black just happened to notice that Shin had died, meaning that Universe 7 would be the perfect place to carry out his plan, since that meant that there was also no God of Destruction to oppose him (even if he does still eventually kill all the other Kaiōshin).
- In the anime, Zamasu is introduced to the Time Rings when Beerus inquires about them in Episode 53, with Whis noticing that the Kaiōshin-in-training did not appear to have heard of them before. In the manga, Gowasu introduces the time rings to Zamasu himself.
Notes
- The chapter's title page is actually the third overall page of the chapter, after which the story jumps ahead to the battle with Bobbidi and Dabra.
- Kaiōshin's idea to test Trunks with the block of Katchin is a callback to a similar scene with Gohan in Chapter 479 of the original manga.
- The attack Dabra uses to kill Kibito is a direct callback to a similar scene in Chapter 448 of the original manga, complete with the same sound effects.
- The scene where Trunks catches Dabra's sword attack with his bare hands is a direct callback to a similar scene with Dabra and Gohan in Chapter 455 of the original manga.
- The hand motions and attack Trunks uses to kill Dabra are the exact same he used to kill Freeza in Chapter 331 of the original manga, complete with the same sound effects.
- The misspelling of "Cupsule Corp." on the seventeenth page of the chapter has also shown up in the television series.
