Goku Black explains that he is Zamasu from an alternate timeline where he succeeded in killing Gowasu, the Time-Ring allowing him to be unaffected by his past self's death. The other Zamasu then formally introduces himself as the Zamasu of Future Trunks' timeline, whom Black allied himself with as they destroyed the Super Dragon Balls after using them to grant Zamasu indestructibility. They then killed the other deities so they would not interfere in their goal of wiping all mortal life for their ideal utopia, saving Earth for last to have the humans suffer an agonizing demise. In the battle that follows, Zamasu and Black provoke Goku into giving the latter a challenge after revealing that Black also killed Chi-Chi and Goten when he acquired his new body and killed the alternate Goku. The two manage to defeat Goku before turning their attention to Future Trunks and Vegeta, both telling the former that his constant meddling in the timeline is the reason for Earth's misfortune. This infuriates Future Trunks, who explodes and transforms into an immensely powerful new Super Saiyan form.

Dragon Ball Super, a brand new television anime inspired by Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga, will premiere on Fuji TV and other channels in July on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. This will be the first new Dragon Ball television series since Dragon Ball GT, which aired from 1996 to 1997. The story of the anime is set a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, when the Earth has become peaceful once again. The voice of Goku, Gohan, and Goten, Masako Nozawa commented on the new anime, saying, "We've always used the word 'chō' (Super) with Dragon Ball in commercials, games and the like, but the fact that the series titled Dragon Ball Super is beginning is the best thing ever."
