I'm just wondering why Trunks even bothered to tell them not to shoot tbh. It's not like anything there could possibly hurt him.

It's the sentiment more than anything. Shooting Goku might hurt his feelings.

I mean, they reacted to the missiles they fired the same way. Super does that sometimes, acting as if normal things should hurt the super-human (or alien, whatever) characters.

Well Goku did get killed/mortally wounded by a laser in Resurrection F... (Prior to Temporal Do-Over)

How durability works in Super depends on the point of the scene.

Characters in Super just seem to have a base value for durability, with Power Levels acting more as "Skill Levels". The original series did that occasionally note , but Super does it much more liberally.

I mean, DB opened with Goku taking a bullet to the face. Since he didn't even know what a gun was, it's not like he steeled himself for it.

Saiyan bodies are naturally more durable than Human bodies, and the characters can use their ki to enhance their physical capabilities to planet-busting levels. When they're relaxing or suppressing their ki, however, it seems that they revert back to whatever level of strength and durability they would naturally have without ki, making sneak attacks viable. There's a couple things that contradict this, but it seems to be generally what Super is going for.

And my point is that Saiyan durability is, at its base, pretty much at "immune to bullets" level.

Well, Goku's head still hurt from Bulma's handgun. I could see bullets from a much larger and more powerful gun giving him a tiny scratch on his arm.

According to Kaiser, they have begun recording for Episode 60. And for those weary, he outright stated this isn't an april fools joke.

I'm baffled as to why he'd announce it on April Fools though.

I mean, of course people would think he's messing with them.

I'm in the middle of the Goku Black arc. I'm trying to put together all the pieces of this mystery plot, figuring out how they all fit. It reminded me of the Android arc, and then I realized that these two arcs are the ONLY time in all of Dragonball where there's a mystery the characters have to unravel. And they both involve future Trunks and time travel.

The Future Trunks arc's mystery is one of the best things about it.

Most of the mystery for me came from the fact that the answer was so blindingly obvious that it must have been a red herring.

And it was, a bit. "Black is really Zamasu, no wait, he can't be but he's working with Zamasu, wait no, actually, he is Zamasu, but one from an alternate timeline that stole Goku's body."

I know when Goku Black was working with Future Zamasu, one of the more prominent theories was that Goku Black was somehow Universe 10's God of Destruction.
