Adding "Black" in front of something automatically makes it sound way more sinister and threatening. Think Black Knight, Black Death, Black Friday. It's the same with Black Goku. We hear that and we know he's evil.

About the episode - lol at copy Vegeta stomping Gotenks. At least it will stop the endless power level debates for a while.

I still say that Copy Vegeta, despite looking like he's only in base, really does mean it when he says he has all Vegeta's power.

He's kinda like Mystic Gohan: all the power from even transformations all in one.

And since Vegeta has God Power now Copy Vegeta has it too, and it trumps Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks.

You just pulled it out of your nether regions. Unless we see Copy Vegeta fighting on par with SSB Goku without transforming himself, I'm call bull on this.

Black Goku is like Black Pit or Black Wargreymon - it's a common way Japanese media name a literal dark counterpart which does make it sound like "Evil Goku" fanfiction.

Black Friday only sounds like a good thing in concept...but it's the source of true evils.

And you don't know if Black Goku is a character either.

Case in point, Black Dynamite.

I... just realized that I no longer recognize Freiza's official English voice. His Japanese voice? Sure. In English, nah. It wasn't Little Kuriboh so I didn't even realize who it was until the end.

Apparently more spoilers for the upcoming episode have been posted: "A SOS from the future! The Black New Enemy Appears!! 17 years in the future, a fearsome new enemy appears before Trunks."

[up][up] I would love it if it was only one Japanese character.

I know that it probably isn't but.

Just imagine a language, any language, that could express that entire concept/sentence in a single word/letter.

Just beautiful.

I wonder if meeting future Trunks will inspire kid Trunks to become stronger.

Chibi Trunks can rely on his daddy to bail him out, and failing that, fusing with Goten, or making a wish the dragon balls. Future Trunks has been scraping by without all of that, making Chibi Trunks realize he has been taking his safety nets for granted and thus, he starts to take his training more seriously.

Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!! did have Bulma and Vegeta argue about Vegeta's refusal to train Trunks...or Bulma, when Vegeta criticized Trunk's fighting skills.

It was sad seeing Gotenks not matter. His moves are always so fun.

I'm hoping we get some Kid Trunks focus in this new arc. I mean, sure, Future Trunks has a close connection to Vegeta. But surely he has an even bigger connection to his OTHER SELF! If I was in an alternate universe where there was a younger, bratty version of me, I'd definitely want to get close to them.

But the standard is that "you" annoy yourself more than anyone else.

Kid Trunks is annoying, in general. And considering the kind of life Future Trunks has lived, I wouldn't be surprised if a bit of envy mixed in made the annoyance worse.
