"Zamasu's Final Resort" is the twenty-second 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 May 2017 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump, with a sale date of 21 March 2017.
Summary
As Shin swears revenge for the attack on Gowasu, Zamasu blasts in to simultaneously attack and chastise him. Trunks holds onto Gowasu, begging for him not to die. Gowasu suddenly begins to cough up blood, meaning he is alive… for now. Trunks yells for Mai to escape with Gowasu, and charges in as a Super Saiyan.
Meanwhile, Goku and Vegeta have arrived back in the future. Everyone is alive, but the energy signatures are dropping. The two arrive in time, and Vegeta demands to take on Black while Goku is to go use the Mafūba on Zamasu. Goku departs to first give Trunks a senzu, and though Zamasu fires a blast to stop him, Goku teleports away with both Trunks and Shin in tow. Mai runs into the trio, and asks for a senzu to give to Gowasu.
After a brief stare-down and a bit of verbal posturing over power and transformations, Vegeta transforms into… Super Saiyan God?! Goku Black believes Vegeta to have lost his mind, but at the same time, he is upset with how confident Vegeta appears to be. Vegeta handily dodges all of Black's attacks. Black recognizes that Vegeta's speed appears to have suddenly boosted at the last moment. Vegeta delivers a kick which sends Black flying and smashing into a building. Black is losing his temper and is still unable to ascertain what Vegeta's new technique might be.
While Vegeta and Black continue to square off, Goku uses a senzu to heal Gowasu, reducing their bean count down to the last one. Goku confirms to Trunks that he has mastered the Mafūba, and produces a capsule containing the necessary jar. The group notices that Vegeta is easily handling Black, despite being at a stage lower than Super Saiyan Blue. Goku explains that Vegeta is not just using Super Saiyan God, but actually transforming up to Blue in the very last moment of his attack, thereby balancing his power and stamina. Goku confirms he did a similar thing against Hit, but Vegeta appears to have mastered this balancing act on a whole new level.
Zamasu flies in with a kick of his own to surprise Vegeta, and suggests that he and Black work together. Goku jumps in as well, determined to take on Zamasu and seal him away… though Black wonders what that random jar on the battlefield might be for. Vegeta fires some blasts to regain Black's attention. Zamasu does not appear to be particularly worried, especially due to his immortality. Goku then uses the Mafūba, capturing Zamasu and perfectly landing him into the jar. Goku and Trunks struggle to tie up the jar's lid ahead of affixing the magical charm… but Goku brought a hostess bar discount coupon instead of the actual charm, leaving Zamasu to furiously burst back out of the jar. With no other choice, Goku himself transforms up to Super Saiyan God, ready to battle. Zamasu tries to hold Goku in place, but the speed of Super Saiyan God is more than enough to get around it and deliver a few good punches. Goku seems to think Vegeta will end his fight soon, and tries to talk Zamasu down a bit, describing how he is effectively being used by his other self. Goku continues to effortlessly handle Zamasu, which only proceeds to anger Black. It appears the two Zamasu are about to lose it with each other when Black finally smiles and reminds the other Zamasu of their "final resort". Goku realizes too late what the evil gods are up to, as Black movies his Potara earring to the other ear…
The one god of all universes, Zamasu, is born!

The Turtle Hermit wonders whether it wouldn’t have been better to give Goku a bottle with the sealing spell written directly on it from the start. He will later use that same bottle himself during the Tournament of Power.
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.
- While Vegeta does go to the Room of Spirit and Time in both the anime and the manga, he has a much more concrete reason to do so in the manga: as shown back in Chapter 13, turning into Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan severely drains the user’s stamina, so Vegeta went into the room to become able to go in and out of the form at will, using the more balanced Super Saiyan God when not attacking and momentarily transforming into Super Saiyan Blue only during the instant he strikes. In the anime, however, he presumably just goes into the room to get stronger.
- The technique of switching between Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue is never used in the anime.
- When Goku and Vegeta return to the future in Episode 63, they bring Bulma with them (as they did on their previous, "extra" trip there). In the manga, Bulma never goes to Future Trunks's timeline.
- In the anime, after Goku and Vegeta go back to the future, Goku Black blasts the time machine, damaging the jar that Goku was going to use to seal Zamasu. With Trunks's help, Bulma discreetly takes both away to repair them.
- Black does not attack Gowasu in the anime. Likewise, Zamasu also does not attack Shin.
- Parsley Town is not seen in the anime.
- Vegeta does not use Super Saiyan God in the television series, in this arc or any other. In fact, he does not display the form until the theatrical film Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
- Goku does not use Super Saiyan God in this arc of the anime, either. His use of the form against Dyspo in Episode 104 will be his first in the television series since the events of the Battle of Gods arc.
- Goku never gets the chance to use the Mafūba against Zamasu in the anime. Instead, it is Trunks who learns it from a video that Bulma recorded on her phone of Piccolo demonstrating the technique. He then uses it against Zamasu... before realizing that Goku completely forgot to bring the paper seal.
- In the manga, instead of completely forgetting to bring the paper seal, Goku mistakenly brings a coupon for a hostess club instead.
- In the anime, Zamasu and Black do not quarrel before fusing. Zamasu is merely astonished that mortals could perform the Mafūba, a technique that works even against immortal gods such as himself, and urges Black to fuse, since they have clearly underestimated the mortals' danger to them.
- In the anime, Zamasu is the one who removes his Potara and moves it to his other ear. In the manga, it is Black doing the switch.
Notes
- "Parsley City" (パセリシチィ paseri shiti) — as seen in this chapter's "Parsley City General Hospital" signage — was the location announced on the radio in Chapter 419 of the original manga, and is the site where Trunks destroys the future versions of No. 17 and No. 18. It is likely named to line up with previous in-universe locales such as Ginger Town and Pepper Town, all named for spices.
- The jar Goku uses is marked with 梅 (ume, meaning "plums").
- The coupon reads ピチピチクラブ pichi pichi kurabu ("Pichi Pichi Club"), a hostess club with attractive ladies.
- The full text of the seal reads 大魔王封じ Daimaō Fūji ("Demon Lord Seal"). It is exactly the same seal used during the Demon King Piccolo arc of the original series.
- This particular manga chapter continues to deviate from the television series with Vegeta transforming into the regular, red-haired Super Saiyan God (which Goku Black recognizes and describes by name as 超サイヤ人ゴッド, sūpā saiyajin goddo). This is the first time Vegeta is shown reaching the form "on-screen".
Adaptation
Important notes on the Viz English adaptation of this chapter:
- Vegeta often uses the rude second person pronoun キサマ (kisama) when addressing Goku. Such pronouns are sometimes replaced with the character's name in translation, which is what Toshikazu Aizawa did here, but using "Goku" instead of "Kakarrot". This error was not corrected in the fourth collected volume, pictured here. (Note the crop in the Japanese digital edition. The Viz digital edition uses the original, wider V-Jump master.)
- The Viz adaptation calls Merged Zamasu "God Zamas", like a proper noun. "The one and only deity in the entire universe... the birth of God Zamas." In the original Japanese, the words 神 (kami, "god") and ザマス (Zamasu) are not even in the same speech bubble.
