I've been thinking about this & I think with Jiren they kinda doing a repeat with Frost.

Like the whole he's a good guy but wait he's not, he's actually evil.

I mean it was never outright stated that Jiren is a nice guy but you could assume he was a decent fellow through some evidence. Him being a PT which we have seen do heroic acts through Toppo, Dyspo, & Kashrel, being Toppo's sworn friend who is a heroic character, saving Dyspo from Maji Kayo, & his manga self who is visibly more heroic.

All this to reveal that like Frost no he is not a good person at all, he's a monster. So even if its not necessarily on purpose I think they ripped themselves off in this regard.

Does anyone know why fangirls like to ship Future Gohan and Future Trunks? That Gohan was more of a father figure to Future Trunks, like Piccolo was to Gohan

Because everyone gets shipped with everyone.

That's why.

Because Future Trunks has the most interaction and thus chemistry with Future Gohan probably

Generally shippers don't have much time for token love interests

It's a thing you see in serieses with heavy gender disparity

Surprised there hasn't been a boon of Trunks x Goku Black Slash.

The reactions of people who don't watch Super towards Black is amusing.

Just about everyone knows Goku but less know why Goku is suddenly an edge-lord, why he's pink, & just generally why he's been shopping at Hot Topic.

What is the appeal of an evil "character" who was once good?

Make them interesting and see where that leads.

The same appeal there is in evil counterparts in general.

There's a reason why the Crime Syndicate of America or the Justice Lords are popular villains.

[up] Ergo.

Evil Superman must hold some appeal because every hack and some okay writers love to shit out their own hot take

"Wouldn't it be scary if Superman was bad??" they ask

There was already plenty of slashes between Goku Black and Future Trunks, not sure what you're talking about.

They both use blades as weapons.

I'm reminded of a conversation I had like a day ago.

At the college in the cafeteria huddled around a game of Fighter Z (the college is pretty lax so a lot of people have brought TV's to play games especially Fighting games) & a person sitting next to me laments how Future Trunks is the only character who uses a sword or in general a weapon. I say Black also uses a blade but Ki blades don't really count.

What I'm getting at is the Tournament of Power shouldn't have had a "no weapons" restriction. Its quite a limiting condition honestly.

They should've brought weapons and all gotten disqualification-ed.

That would've been humor.

Plus, nearly every time a weapon comes out (Trunks included, though not in his Super arc), with the lone exception being the Nyoi-bo / Power Pole it quickly gets broken to turn it into hand to hand fight, or show that weapons are useless.

Every time, without fail.

Maybe not all, but enough fighters to lighten the load.

A lot of them weren't even really characters anyway.

Though as a castout who was raised in a different land and holds a mixture of contempt and pride in his roots, he's more like an evil version of Goku fighting a heroic version of Vegeta.
