"Last Chance For HOPE" is the twenty-first 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 April 2017 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump, with a sale date of 21 February 2017.
Summary
As the present-day Trunks "trains" with Pilaf and Shuu, Mai is snapped out of a daydream by the time machine's reappearance… but only Goku and Vegeta (and the cat) come out. They unfortunately had to leave Trunks behind, but Goku will use this opportunity to learn the Mafūba. Goku believes they can travel right back to the exact instant they left, but Bulma explains that the machine is linked to the parallel future in general more than than a point in time, per se. Furthermore, it seems that the connection is weakening, so their next trip will be their last chance.
Shin abruptly gets up, though he explains he is simply going to visit Gowasu in Universe 10 to offer his condolences and support, as well as to fill him in on recent developments; Whis, however, does not appear to fully believe him. Beerus berates Goku and the others, saying he helped out with Zamasu in this timeline, but the rest is up to them. Goku wonders what the future Whis would be doing, but Whis explains that angels' jobs are simply suspended in the event that their respective god dies, truly leaving them with no godly allies in the future timeline. Vegeta departs, refusing to use a technique like the Mafūba, determined to kill them in his own way regardless of Super Saiyan Rosé.
Back in the future timeline, Trunks continues to be pummeled by Goku Black, smirking the whole time. Mai runs in to smack him, but Black retaliates with a kiai from the eyes to knock her away. Trunks takes this opportunity jump back with a Taiyō-ken, but Zamasu forces him to stop and dodge by throwing Trunks' own sword at him. Trunks is still determined to put up a fight, while the two gods are equally determined to kill him. Black is ready to end this game, and though Mai still wants to help and tries to give Trunks his sword, Trunks yells for her to get as far away as possible. As Black prepares to fire his attack down on Trunks, Gowasu suddenly appears with Shin, taking Trunks and Mai with them as they teleport away. Zamasu is confused, expecting them both to have already died off, but Black assumes they must be past versions of these gods.
Trunks is shocked to see Shin, who was apparently waiting for just the right opportunity to help. They can travel with the help of the Time Rings, after all. Gowasu bows and profusely apologizes to Trunks, who himself is a bit taken aback that a god would be apologizing to him. Here in the future Kaiōshin Realm — where no one lives anymore courtesy of Zamasu's slaughter — they can at least stay hidden until Goku and Vegeta return.
The Turtle Hermit watches as Goku practices the Mafūba, which he himself learned from his own master. Goku is having trouble mastering the technique, which the sage notes is because Goku is approaching it too roughly, causing him to miss the jar. Goku asks for him to just come seal away Zamasu himself, but he is told that the technique requires great strength and can even kill you. Goku is too wrapped up in his own head to hear the full story, and so the Turtle Hermit wanders back inside to make the necessary charm.
Back in the future timeline, Black and Zamasu discuss what their next course of action should be. If the various Kaiōshin know of their plan, they could potentially tattle to the Omni-King on them. Perhaps they should leave Earth… but maybe only after killing a few more humans…
Shin watches over Trunks and Mai as they sleep, wishing Kibito were around to help heal them. Gowasu observes how said healing power was meant to assist them as the lords of worlds, and yet here was this same power now being used for evil deeds; perhaps the extent of their power should be limited going forward? The two gods suddenly realize that Black and Zamasu have begun exterminating the rest of humanity. Gowasu is determined to take responsibility for Zamasu, and despite Shin's plea, he departs for Earth. As Black and Zamasu come across another building with survivors, Gowasu arrives to question his alternate-timeline apprentice. The two argue over the meaning of a peaceful world, and how these humans contribute to and simultaneously destroy this vision. Gowasu continues to appeal to Zamasu, but it is no use. Shin, Trunks, and Mai then also arrive to stop Zamasu from interrupting Gowasu and Black's conversation.
Gowasu extends a hand to Black… who slips by it to stab Gowasu through the chest, noting how this is now the third time he has killed Gowasu (his own master, the future Zamasu's master, and now this Gowasu from the alternate past). As Gowasu's body tumbles down, Vegeta emerges from the Room of Spirit and Time, while Goku has seemingly perfected the Mafūba.
Interstitial Page
The interstitial page shows us the moment when Gowasu invited Zamasu to become his disciple. Both deities are standing on what is presumably Zamasu’s Kaiō planet, which looks very similar to Universe 7’s North Kaiō’s Planet. Zamasu is honored at Gowasu’s invitation and vows to devote himself to peace across the entire universe.
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 manga, Goku practices the Mafūba by himself, just like how Tenshinhan did in Chapter 151 of the original series. In the anime, however, he uses Umigame as a stand-in for Zamasu.
- In the anime, Beerus is the one who convinces Gowasu to go to the future and talk to Zamasu. In the manga, however, it is Shin.
- In the manga, after their failed attempt to reason with Black and Zamasu, Shin and Gowasu bring Trunks and Mai to the (now deserted) Kaiōshin Realm to give them safe harbor while they wait for Goku and Vegeta to come back. In the anime, Trunks and Mai somehow escape Black and Zamasu off-screen and heal their wounds in the Resistance hideout.
- In the anime, Goku just asks the Turtle Hermit to teach him the Mafūba. In the manga, however, he also tries asking him to come to the future and seal Zamasu himself. However, the Turtle Hermit replies that a strong caster is necessary to seal someone as powerful as Zamasu, saying that if he did it, not only would he not be able to seal Zamasu away, he would also die in the process.
- In the manga, Black and Zamasu are worried about the fact that Shin and Gowasu know of their plan, since there is a possibility that they might report it to the Omni-King. They consider leaving Earth the very next day – but not before eliminating every single remaining mortal from the planet. In the anime, however, they don’t think about any potential repercussions and just continue with their plan as usual.
- Zamasu does, however, still kill every Earthling besides Trunks and Mai in Episode 67, after being defeated by Trunks’s Sword of Hope.
- In the manga, Gowasu comments that the reason Zamasu possessed healing techniques is because he never managed to become a full-fledged Kaiōshin. He states that the reason why only Kaiōshin attendants (or, in Zamasu’s case, a Kaiōshin-in-training) were granted such techniques was precisely to provide support to the main deity.
