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.

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.
