Summary
Goku continues his next round against Merged Zamasu, struggling against the god's telekinetic powers, but still managing to land the occasional attack. Zamasu rips his shirt off in disbelief over the damage his body is taking, while Goku simultaneously is struggling to maintain his power and composure. Zamasu screams that he will take out the entire galaxy and rushes at Goku, who flies in with an unexpected technique: the same "destruction" Beerus used against Zamasu earlier in the timelines. As part of Zamasu's body begins to disappear, he uses a portal to grab Mai and shove her in front of the technique, forcing Goku to stop. Zamasu kicks Goku aside and regenerates the missing part of his body. Trunks tries to rush Zamasu, but is handily knocked aside; Vegeta can tell that it is all over now.
Zamasu suddenly starts tearing in half; it must be an hour since his fusion! The two halves seem as if they are rejecting the split, however; Gowasu theorizes that since the two are technically the same person, they may have somehow joined on a cellular level due to the fusion. Trunks jumps in once again, this time managing to slice Zamasu into his two, individual halves. Trunks proceeds to stab his sword into the defeated Goku Black's chest. It finally appears as if the fight is over… but Black fires a blast at Trunks and stands back up, impaled-sword and all. Both Black and Zamasu transform into Merged Zamasu versions of themselves, who then begin another assault on Goku. With Goku and Trunks down, Vegeta explodes in a rage toward the gods, kicks Goku aside, and unleashes a Gamma Burst Flash. In the wake of the blast, detached body parts of the gods wiggle on the ground in an attempt to reform. The Kaiōshin try to get the others to teleport away with them, but there are suddenly numerous Zamasu that have reformed…!
Interstitial Page
One of Zamasu’s doubles mistakenly takes the form of Monaka (in a reference to Chapter 18’s interstitial page). One of the other doubles tells him that he got the wrong face.
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.
- Merged Zamasu never takes off or loses his shirt in the anime, nor does he lose his shirt in any other form (including Goku Black).
- Goku never uses the Destruction (破壊, hakai) technique in the anime, even though he was present when Beerus killed Zamasu in Episode 59, where the God of Destruction did indeed use the technique. In the manga, however, Goku was not present when Beerus killed Zamasu in Chapter 19, so his knowledge of the technique in the manga remains a mystery.
- In the anime, Merged Zamasu’s fusion never actually ends. He stays fused until Trunks destroys his body with his sword, which was fortified with the genki of the remaining Earthlings, like a Genki-Dama. The right half of his body, however, does start to visibly deteriorate over time due to the unstable nature of a fusion between a mortal and an immortal being.
- In the anime, Future Trunks attacks Merged Zamasu right after Vegetto defuses in Episode 66. In the manga, however, Goku and Vegeta still fight him for quite a while before Trunks takes action.
- At the beginning of Episode 67, Zamasu regenerates after Trunks’s attack in the form of a cloud that envelops the Earth, even having a visible effect in the main Dragon Ball timeline, with Gowasu stating that he might be trying to become the universe itself. In the manga, however, while Trunks does still split Merged Zamasu in half (with his regular sword), each of the halves regenerates and becomes an independent Zamasu body. Vegeta then unleashes his new attack, Gamma Burst Flash, against both Zamasus, which blows them to pieces. However, each of the pieces regenerates yet again and becomes several different bodies for Zamasu.
Notes
- Vegeta debuts a brand-new new attack in this chapter, one that does not appear anywhere else besides the Dragon Ball Super manga: "Gamma Burst Flash" (ガンマバーストフラッシュ; Ganma Bāsuto Furasshu). As with the "Big Bang Attack" and "Final Flash", Vegeta's attack is given an English name.[1]
