Goku Black (ゴクウブラック, Gokū Burakku), or simply Black (ブラック, Burakku), is a fictional character and the first original antagonist in the Dragon Ball Super series created by Akira Toriyama. He is first introduced in the forty-seventh episode of Dragon Ball Super anime which first aired on June 12, 2016 and in chapter #14 An SOS from the Future!! (未来からのSOS!!, Mirai kara no esuōesu!!) from the manga.[1] He is the main antagonist of Future Trunks Saga. Goku Black is an entity that resembles Son Goku who wreaks havoc in Future Trunks' timeline, bringing humanity to the brink of extinction. The character is unique to Dragon Ball Super series as well as its first original villain. It is later revealed that Goku Black's true identity is Zamasu (ザマス, Zamasu), an apprentice Supreme Kai (界王神, Kaiōshin, lit. "World King God") from Universe 10, who hijacked Goku's body from an unaltered timeline as part of his plan to attain immortality and wipe out all mortals. He was given the name "Goku Black" by Bulma when he initially referred to himself as Son Goku. Black has one single potara earring.
Notes by creator Akira Toriyama state Goku Black has access to both the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Rose forms.[2] Toei Animation Producer Atsushi Kido said Merged Zamasu was a "cheat" character for his massive strength and that his one weakness could be that he was originally a single person.[3]
Zamasu is a green-skinned humanoid with grey eyes and a white Mohawk. He is seen wearing a violet long-sleeved shirt under a gray coat with yellow trimming, itself under a light blue slash. He also wears dark blue pants and white boots. The Zamasu who stole Goku's body originally had an appearance identical to his counterparts, obtaining a slightly darker skin tone and sterner eyes, along with a somewhat skinnier physique after the switch. His attire consists of a sleeveless dark grey uwagi, a long-sleeved black undershirt with a turtleneck, a red sash, black pants and white boots. He wears a single gold and green Universe 10 Supreme Kai Potara earring on his left ear. He also wears a Time Ring on his right index finger, that he uses to travel through time without the need of a time machine.
Goku Black first appears in Trunks' timeline and after killing Bulma,[4] chases down Trunks until he flees to the past.[5] A short time later, Goku Black makes his way to the past through a time portal.[6] He begins to fight Goku when the time portal begins to collapse. Before Goku Black is pulled back into the portal, he destroys the time machine to prevent others from returning to the future.[7] Goku Black strives to increase his strength through a rematch with Goku upon discovering the encounter increased his power.[8] Goku, Whis and Beerus travel to Universe 10 after detecting Goku Black's energy there,[9] encountering apprentice Kaiō-shin Zamasu, who Goku bests in combat, and his master Gowasu.[10] As a result of his loss to Goku, Zamasu then begins a descent into further intolerance for mortals.[11] After Goku, Vegeta and Trunks travel to the past, Goku Black confronts them, stabbing and thereby critically injuring Vegeta and fighting an even matched battle with Goku, before that timeline's version of Zamasu interrupts the fight.[12] Goku Black and Zamasu are revealed to be working together; their combined effort overwhelms Goku and Trunks, though the two and Vegeta escape to the past.[13] The present version of Zamasu comes under suspicion,[14] Whis discovering his intent to kill Gowasu, reversing time to undo the event and Beerus killing Zamasu after he attacks Goku.[15] The trio of Saiyans returns to the past and during the encounter, Goku Black reveals himself to be Zamasu from another timeline who after stealing the body of Goku,[16] proceeded to kill him, Goten and Chi-Chi. Goku Black and Zamasu overcome Goku, triggering Trunks' transformation into a new Super Saiyan form.[17] Goku Black and Zamasu combat Trunks while Goku and Vegeta return to the past, Goku learning the Demon Sealing Wave while Vegeta trains in the Room of Spirit and Time.[18] The two are able to overcome him, though he is saved from death by the resistance and a returning Vegeta overpowers Goku Black.[19] Future Zamasu is nearly sealed away by Trunks and Mai, the event along with Goku Black's losing to Vegeta, cause the pair to realize they have underestimated their enemies and fuse into merged Zamasu.[20] merged Zamasu easily overwhelms everyone,[21] forcing Goku and Vegeta's fusion into Vegito, who is able to match him in strength and even overpower him before the fusion ends. Trunks then gains strength from every remaining living thing on Earth, allowing him to slice merged Zamasu in half.[22] Merged Zamasu reemerges after disintegrating and kills everyone on Earth apart from Goku, Trunks, Vegeta, the present version of Bulma, and Mai. Zenō-sama erases him along with the entire timeline as a result of his actions, killing him at last.[23]
Goku Black appears in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' Future Trunks Special Edition attempting to kill Trunks but being prevented by Mai's intervention, this appearance taking place before his initial appearance in Dragon Ball Super.[24]
Goku Black is a playable character in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 as a pre-order bonus / downloadable character. He also appears in Dragon Ball Fusions.
Goku Black and Zamasu possess several abilities including superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and energy blasts, which can be utilized by the use of ki. Some of their original attacks are the Aura Slide (神裂斬, Kami Retsuzan, lit. "God Split Cut").
As he possesses Goku's body, Black is able to perform most of Goku's abilities, especially his signature move, the Black Kamehameha (ブラックかめはめ波, Burakku Kamehameha, lit. "Black Turtle Destruction Wave") and his teleportation skill Shunkan Idō (瞬間移動, lit. "Instantaneous Movement", renamed "Instant Transmission" in Funimation's dub), taught by the inhabitants of the planet Yardrat.[25] Grown unbelievably strong from his fight with Goku, Black learned more of Goku's fighting style and has become a Super Saiyan Rosé (超サイヤ人 ロゼ, Sūpā Saiya-jin Roze) a powerful version of Super Saiyan which rivals Super Saiyan Blue in power. This version allows Black to perform a variety of unusual techniques, among them the creation of scythes and Ki swords that are thrown to the opponent to create a crack towards other realities, which in turn can be used to create clones of himself.
Merged Zamasu has several unique abilities, including the Blades of Judgement (裁きの刃, Sabaki no Yaiba), energy blade barrages that will explode upon contact with the ground, the Barrier of Light (光の壁, Hikari no Kabe), which prevents Zamasu from being struck by attacks while striking back combatants with blasts of lightning, and the Holy Wrath (聖なる逆鱗, Seinaru Gekirin), an energy sphere that enlarges after being thrown. Goku Black's half allows merged Zamasu to become stronger when put in near death states, but this half also causes drawbacks for his immorality, which is reduced to high durability, and a healing factor that is uneven for half of his body, giving the inferior half a grotesque appearance. Merged Zamasu's strength is shown to be massive, nearly killing Super Saiyan Blue Saiyan Vegeta in a single blast, and is on par in strength with Super Saiyan Blue Vegito. In his bodiless state, Merged Zamasu retains much of his power, able to overwhelm Goku, Vegeta and Trunks and his attacks are powerful enough level the Earth's surface to nothing, killing the last of the few survivors of Goku Black's year long reign of genocide with Chou Makouhou Barrage (連続超魔口砲口エネルギー波バラージュ, Renzoku Chō Makōhō Kuchi Enerugī-ha Barāju), and to rip across the timelines, as he is detected by Beerus and Whis in the present timeline.
Goku Black is voiced by Masako Nozawa, while Zamasu is voiced by Shinichiro Miki in Japanese media. Goku Black is voiced by Sean Schemmel in English.
