Also, lol @ Black and Zamasu chilling on an outdoor patio.

Someone needs to make that fanfic. I need to read it right now.

Although I guess we can wait to find out who/what exactly Black is before writing it.

My guess is that since Future Zamasu and Black are still wearing the time rings, they are immune from being erased by causality. The whole "time traveler exists outside of time" concept. If that's true, it's possible they can be defeated simply by getting those rings off their fingers... not that it's easy just because it's simple.

Otherwise, them being erased makes sense, though not exactly for the reason Beerus gave: while Bulma's time machine explicitly creates multiverses, the Time Rings are heavily implied (and nigh outright stated in the manga, from what I can tell from you guys' recaps) to be a more direct form of time travel such that Future Zamasu is the current Zamasu - just at a later point - and not an alternate. Removing Zamasu from the past as a threat was Future Zamasu most obvious weakness, though I was already expecting Future Zamasu and Black to survive that somehow.

Beerus destroying Zamasu might be the most badass he's ever been.

I imagine how iconic Nozawa's performance is, and Japan's reluctance to recast people a lot of the time, has more to do with why he's never been recasted than the innocence and purity of the character.

Not to dig up this old discussion, but isn't this typically the mindset of the anime industry in general to keep the old voice cast? Like I know the Lupin franchise kept the same voice actors for like 40+ years before finally swapping them out for younger VO's.

Yup, voice acting is very sacred over there, to the point of being Serious Business and considering Goku is one of the most iconic characters in Anime and Manga, they're not going to just swap out his voice actor like that.

Basically, Japan favors traditionalism even if its "not fitting".

Damn straight.

I gotta say, there's a world of difference between Beerus destroying a world (which we've seen a bit of) and a person.

The latter is a lot more terrifying.

Basically, you can expect that when Nozawa inevitably dies, Goku will be retired, likely permanently.

Passing is quite likely on somebody over 80... Still, remember, Tien and Satan's original voice actors are already dead, and they have been remplazed.

I'm pretty sure Nozawa is on a higher pedestal being the main character and the face of the series.

Also note that she's both the main character and his two sons.

But yeah, if Nozawa dies, then Dragonball goes with her.

As a whole, not really - they'll probably keep pumping out videogames and manga, the former of which can just reuse old voiceclips.

But short of Nozawa declaring an heir, if she dies, it's likely the whole Son Family goes with her.

If that happens, the world is pretty much doomed.

Since when has Vegeta ever succeeded at anything?

He had Frieza dead to rights, and still botched it.
