Dragon Ball Super 66 - Future Trunks Defeats the Demon Zamasu


Done in true Japanese superstition, Trunks defeated the angry God that terrorized his future worse than the Androids.  Dragon Ball Super 66 brought out all they had to wrap this filler series up.

Big Mystery of Black Goku and the Immortal God Zamasu Solved
I have to admit it was really cheesy, but I like the way these time lapse were handled.  Basically Zamasu was a Kai (God) that hated humans and became so filled with hate that he abused the Dragon Balls to make evil wishes.  First wish involved, Zamasu switching bodies with an alternate Goku from a different dimension. Then Zamasu killed alternative Goku's family (Chi Chi and Goten) and convinced the alternate Goku to join him on a fight to end humanity. 

Somehow, the alternative Goku in Zamasu was made immortal by a second wish from the dragon balls a year later.  Then Alternate Goku started to terrorize the Future Trunks from Cell series dimension.  Trunks recognizes the Goku he sees is not the same Goku he knows, and he labels this Goku as Black Goku b/c he is evil.  Unable to defeat Black Goku, Trunks traveled in time to find Goku and Vegeta for help. runks would have went to Gohan since he was the strongest warrior at the end of the saiyan series, but family life has weak Gohan.  Krillin and Piccolo are actually stronger than Gohan now.

Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks encounter Black Goku by chance in their time.  Goku and Vegeta easily defeat Black Goku, but he escapes to Trunks Future to heal and improve.  When Goku, Vegeta and Trunks return to the Future to finish Black Goku, they get defeated.  After a few defeats we learn the mystery behind Black Goku and connection to the God Zamasu.  We learn how Zamasu body is immortal, but Black Goku body is human.

Episode 66 - Spoiler
Now you wonder why I took time to explain all that.  Zamasu and Black Goku fused to become all power God. But if you know anything about fusion, you energy and intention determine your fusion.  Zamasu/Goku is filled with hate, so their fusion was flawed.  Zamasu body is warped by his hate.  Instead of an immortal God, they are a monster demon that hate made him weak and mortal.  A fused Goku + Vegeta = Vegito matches the Zamasu fusion, but they become overpowered and defeated.

Then a Super Saiyan 2 Future Trunks steps in.  Amazingly SSJ 2 Future Trunks is strong enough to handle Demon Zamasu.   We learn Future Trunks has the ability of Goku to gain energy from surround life.  Future Trunks is a living Spirit Bomb.  At the end of the episode, Future Trunks forms a spirit bomb and absorbs the power.  Future Trunks then uses his sword to slice Zamasu in half and defeats him.

It was one of those moral lessons episodes, but it was good. In Japanese culture, they believe humans transform to Gods so you have to know that in order to get the lesson of the story.  It showed how a God who hates those he is sworn to protect can become evil and a demon.  Zamasu belittled and underestimated the value of those that looked up to him, and when they united they defeated him.  Don't know if Future Trunks became the new God of that dimension, but we will see in episode 67.
