Summary
As multiple Merged Zamasu rush in, Shin teleports Goku and Vegeta to safety; he and Gowasu will escape with the Time Ring, while Goku and Vegeta should use the time machine. Zamasu is determined to kill them, however, and the clones surround the heroes. Zamasu reveals that he has the time machine used in Universe 12,[1] with which he intends to follow them to any and every timeline to eliminate them with the rest of humanity. Goku and Vegeta decide to stick around and fight to the bitter end, telling Trunks to return to his mother in the time machine. The two begin to power up without any real battle plan, when Goku suddenly remembers: the Omni-King! Would he still be around in this timeline? Smirking, Goku takes out the button that can call the Omni-King, and presses it to immediately summon him there. Goku quickly introduces himself, as this particular Omni-King has not actually met him before. The Omni-King does not appear to like this place, prompting Goku to point to Zamasu as the culprit. Goku eggs him on further, asking if he wants to erase them all. The Omni-King agrees, saying a world like this… should disappear. All of the Zamasu flee in terror, while Goku shoves them all into the time machine just in the nick of time.
A Time Ring cracks and fizzles away…
Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks safely arrive back in the normal timeline with Shin and Gowasu not far behind. Everyone greets their loved ones, and Future Mai meets her younger self, reuniting with Shuu and Pilaf, who tries to ask what becomes of them in the future. Everyone enjoys a relaxing dinner while relaying the story to Beerus and Whis. Even though there is technically nothing left in that world, Goku still asks to use the time machine for one last thing: to recover the Omni-King! After a quick introduction back at home, the future Omni-King is brought to the present-day Omni-King. As the two new friends run off, the Great Priest asks if this was Whis' idea, which he denies; it was all Goku. The Great Priest says he is envious of Universe 7, but Whis tells him that he can come visit him any time, addressing him as "father". The Great Priest says he will, one day.
Gowasu is off back to Universe 10, though not without a stern recommendation from Beerus to be more careful with future apprentices. Trunks and Mai want to return to some point in their future. Whis says this is possible, prompting Beerus to argue with him over the creation of additional parallel worlds. Shin tells Trunks to speak with the Beerus in that timeline so they can take care of Zamasu should he prove to be a problem there. Goku asks Beerus if he can kill immortals, but he cannot; Whis explains that they have something better than a little jar. Another set of Trunks and Mai will also be present in this new timeline, but that does not bother them. Shin asks if Trunks would like to stay as his apprentice, but Trunks states that he only took on that role in order to defeat Bobbidi and Dabra. Goku notes that, by giving up the role, Trunks will lose his ability to heal, but Vegeta says that is his way of settling things. The younger, present-day Trunks and Mai see off their older selves, with the younger Mai finally realizing and admitting to her interest in the younger Trunks. With their final goodbyes said, Trunks and Mai depart. Pilaf tries to ask one more time what happens to him in the future, but Future Mai only implies that he has an interesting future.
Interstitial Page
The interstitial page following this chapter in the fifth collected volume features the Pilaf Gang. Pilaf is hard at work on an electrical panel that is connected to a mostly-obscured machine. Mai asks Shuu what Pilaf is doing. Shuu, holding Pilaf's toolbox, tells her that Pilaf is building his own time machine. Taking off his welding mask, Pilaf states that he wants to save his future, and tells them to get ready for the "Future Pilaf arc".
Bonus Chapter
In the third bonus chapter written for Jump Victory Carnival 2017, Toyotarō reveals that a visit from Gohan is what inspired Trunks and Mai to return to their own timeline. They are settling in with Bulma, who is delighted to have a daughter in Mai, when Gohan emerges from the gravity room, where he has been training. He explains that he is embarrassed that no one calls him when there is a fight anymore, so he is trying to get back in shape. Indeed, Gohan has no idea what has been going on, so he assumes that the future must be peaceful with Trunks around to take care of it. He wants to see what it is like, now that Trunks has saved it from the Artificial Humans and Cell. Trunks remembers his timeline's version of Gohan, who died to protect his world, and suddenly feels ashamed. Gohan asks how long he is staying, and Trunks says they will be leaving in a few days. Gohan then says that he wants to meet Future Bulma (which puts Trunks in a bit of a pickle), so Trunks tells Mai that they will go back to a point before their world was destroyed after all. The narration specifies that they will return to a point before Zamasu ever appeared.
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.
- The final moments of the fight against Zamasu play out very differently between the two versions of the story:
- In the manga, Shin urges everyone to go back to the past and just leave Trunks’s timeline as it is, since they have no way of beating Merged Zamasu. Overhearing this, Zamasu says that it is futile: he got his hands on the time machine from Universe 12 (the one mentioned by Gowasu in Chapter 17), so, unlike the Kaiōshin, who can only go to the future and back to their original timeline using the Time Rings, he can now also go to the past. He states that as soon as he is done with them, he intends to go to their timeline and kill all the mortals over there as well. Goku and Vegeta then urge the others to go back with the time machine and try to make one last stand before Goku notices that he still has the Omni-King’s summoning button.
- In the anime, however, there was never a mention of the time-traveler from Universe 12, so Zamasu does not have their time machine. Since there is no reason for Goku and Vegeta to stay behind, the plot progresses directly to the summoning of the Omni-King. From there, the escape plays out almost exactly the same in both the manga and the anime, down to Goku and Vegeta holding on to the time machine from the outside.
- This small change also affects the overall feel of the arc’s finale considerably: while in the anime there is a sense of devastation at the loss of Future Trunks’s entire timeline, in the manga, while it is still a grim ending, there is at least some solace in knowing that summoning the Omni-King prevented Zamasu from crossing over into other timelines, namely, the main timeline of the series.
- In the anime, the state of Future Trunks's timeline after the Omni-King destroys it is depicted as an endless colorful fabric of nothingness, rather than the pure white void that is shown in the manga.
- The instant destruction of the Time Ring associated with Trunks's timeline is not seen in the anime.
- In the manga, Beerus is angry at Shin for also going to Trunks’s timeline and putting himself in harm’s way, since his death would mean Beerus’s own death.
- The Time Ring created when Beerus killed Zamasu is not mentioned in the anime until the end of Episode 67, when Whis tells Beerus that he is the one responsible for its creation.
- In the anime, Goku returns to the empty timeline almost immediately after they escape. In the manga, he seemingly waits a few hours before going back.
- In the anime, Whis tells Trunks that he will personally visit Trunks's timeline before the point where Future Shin is killed so that he can ask Future Beerus to take care of Zamasu. In the manga, however, Shin is the one who offers to talk to Beerus.
- After this scene, Gowasu is seen returning his Time Ring to its box. There are a total of six rings in the box. After Trunks's world is destroyed in the manga, it is the sixth Time Ring that is destroyed, leaving five. This can be reconciled if Whis visited Future Trunks's past as he said he would, which would have restored Trunks's timeline.
- In the manga, Pilaf exhibits remarkable skills in understanding not only the time machine but also the logistics of traveling between timelines. In the anime, this is never shown.
- In the manga, Mai outright tells (present) Trunks that she likes him.
- Pilaf repeatedly tries to ask Future Mai what happened to him in the future. Mai never directly answers his question, merely saying “To think that such a thing would happen to you, Pilaf-sama…”
- In the anime, Gohan takes a break from training with Piccolo to see Trunks off as he flies away with Mai in the time machine.
Notes
- The panel where Vegeta and Goku face off against the army of Merged Zamasu is likely a reference to a similar scene in Dragon Ball Z Movie 6, where they face off against an army of Metal Coola.
