She has normal proportions in comparison, it looks weird.

You know, Zamasu shouldn't judge all mortals based on a planet clearly still in it's prehistoric stage.

Gowasu at least pointed that out, saying they should at least wait a few thousand years before making any judgment.

What's the story behind that?

I'm not sure, but the mission seems pretty random. Judging by how Pinich reacted, I'm guessing he was an invention by someone.

Just caught 54:

There are still some holes to it (mainly why he's in Universe 7 instead of 10) but it is beginning to look like Zamasu is black through some kind of Stable Time Loop. He's even gotten his hands on a Kaioushin Earring recently. That being said, he's only wearing one Earring, and you need two to fuse, plus, Goku would still be dead in Trunks' future, so there are still some mysteries to solve.

Beerus bowing so hard his head goes through the table was hilarious, and even Whis freaked out when Zen-O said he wanted to see Goku.

That's not a hole, just because it hasn't been explained yet doesn't make it a hole and the story seems to be getting there.

He also clearly getting tired with the limitations of the Gods of creation.

Okay, I missed a few episode recaps. What's going on in Super? Last I knew, Black was just showing up in the alpha timeline of Universe 7 and was about to fight Goku, I think. (Or Future Trunks just fought Goku or something).

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

So apparently there's a 'Future Trunks Special Edition' of Resurrection 'F'. The fuck?

Questions that have been asked before: Since having a higher power level just makes you better than most people, how does Krillin manage to cut Frieza's tail with the Kienzan? Frieza just wasn't ready?

Isn't Frieza, even in his second form, leagues above Krillin? That shouldn't have worked. In the anime, Cell takes Krillin's Kienzan and blocks it with his abs neck. That would argue that higher power levels > skill and technique. But then Frieza is still a glaring counterexample. And then there's Beerus now, Vegeta managing to pummel him for a short time despite not being in his league, and Goku also, closer but still far.

Majin Buu's body is basically pepto bismol so he gets a pass.

The Kienzan was never blocked in the manga.

There are some attacks that work around the pure power levels. The Kienzan is one of them.

Unfortunately for Krillin, it never works...ever....

I compiled a(n imcomplete) list of characters and fusions from Dragon Ball Fusions.

I have not added any random encounter characters (like Mecha-Goku or the female Ginyu Force) because not all of them have been unlocked yet. There's 101 playable main characters (not including random encounters) and 161 playable fusions (not including random encounter or maxi-fusions).

As you can see, most of the fusions are with the CAC.

@Soble

Krillin developed the Kienzan likely for the sole reason of fighting opponents stronger than him. The Kienzan doesn't care how strong you are, it just cuts you anyway.

Thing is, just because it's amazingly powerful doesn't mean it's a Gamebreaker, especially in Krillin's hands. Freeza dodged it without being able to see it or being able to sense it. Likely, he heard it and dodged on instinct, because it was similar to a technique he himself could use which would presumably have the same effect.

So, yeah, the Kienzan is a very strong technique, but it requires some setup to use... and Cell and Buu both could regenerate anyway so it wouldn't have done much.

I do love the usual knee-jerk Youtube comments for Episode 54, especially the ones that say that the writers of Super are ripping off Multiverse. That's funny, since it assumes that the screenwriters or Toriyama even acknowledge it. ;)

Another little detail this episode that caught my attention was the green time rings. As Gowasu describes it, they get created whenever something starts messing up with the timeline, and that one of them seems to have been created recently. Hmm.

How many of those rings were there?

There was Cell going back in time, Trunks going back in time the first time, Trunks' recent arrival, and most recently, Black using the ring to go back in time.

I'm not counting Trunks coming back again during the Android / Cell Saga, because I feel like that's an extension of his first trip (since the changes he and Cell brought about were still in effect when he came back again).

That's at least 4 times, which corresponds to the number of Green Rings created (if I'm counting right). I'm really curious as to the final answers about how Black became Zamasu. At this point, there are only a few plot points to wrap up in order to explain it, but unless there's some kind of curve ball in store, it really has to be him...

Unless it's actually his boss, and Zamasu is a huge Red Herring, which now that I think about it, is a very Toriyama-esque move to make (what with subverting audience expectations and all that).

Trunks going back, Cell going back, Trunks going back again in Super.

Three time travels, three timeline splits, four alternate timelines, four rings.

Makes sense to me.

Anyway, I don't think Black's jaunt to the past counts, since he just followed Trunks' path.

At least Trunks didn't do anything as stupid like developing Super Sayian 2 grade 3. He just used Regular Grade 3 to make Vegeta lower his guard.

Also, Goku will be visiting Zeno. That sounds interesting.
