Dragon Ball Super Episode 56 Super Saiyan Rose Goku?


I don't usually post about anime unless an EPIC situation happened.  This is that situation!  Dragon Ball Super Episode 56 was a game changer for the series.

This week's episode opened with Trunks, Vegeta and Goku time traveling to Trunk's alternative future to rid his timeline of the human hating god, Zamasu...aka Black Goku.  Goku is attacked by the human army and confused for being Black Goku by the fearful humans. Trunks calms the conflict and reassures society Goku is a good person and never confuse him with the doppleganger Black Goku.  The army informs Trunks that a familiar face is waiting him at the base.

When returning to base, Trunks discovers Mai, his girl friend not girlfriend, is alive.  Otaku fans you know in anime the boy is too embarrassed to claim a girl as his girlfriend until they are married. Trunks wasn't concerned if Bulma was alive though, lol. After the happy reunion, the Z fighters set out to take Black Goku out once in for all. 

When the Z fighters confront Black Goku, something odd is in the air.  Immediately, Super Saiyan Vegeta charges Black Goku to prove he is the best fighter and do what Goku can't which is kill a threat to peace.  Vegeta becomes concerned as he realizes his attacks are not hurting Black Goku.

At this point, Vegeta falls back to re-evaluate Black Goku's abilities.  As expected, Black Goku unleashes his new stronger form, Super Saiyan Rose.  SSR Black Goku thanks Goku for showing him how to gain more power to rival a god.  In an instant, Vegeta is cut down by an energy sword attack to the heart by SSR Black Goku.  Goku turns Super Saiyan Blue and tells Trunks to take care of Vegeta.

Goku and Black Goku fight intensely until Black Goku hits the crap out of Goku to prove he is in another class of strength.  As the show wraps up, Black Goku poses to do a kamehameha to end Goku's life, then Zamasu shows up in the sky and lands beside Black Goku!

The whole time we thought Black Goku and Zamasu were the same person.  Now we know Black Goku is someone completely different, but Zamasu reveals he does harbor hatred to humans and plans to kill every human especially Goku.  Wow! Told y'all it was an epic turning point for the series.
