The Future Trunks Arc has begun on Dragon Ball Super, and holy crap, it is not messing around. [Note: This article contains spoilers.]
So, yes, spoilers.
Do not read past here if you didn’t see the episode when it aired on Japanese television. Everyone else, continue onward!
Episode 47 hits the ground running, and things get very dark very quickly. Via Japanese sites Hachima Kikou, 2ch and SeiyuFan, here are images from the latest episode.

In the first few minutes, Trunk’s mother, Future Bulma, is KILLED. Or, damn, it certainly seems that way.

The animation was great. The music was great. The stakes are high, and Dragon Ball Super is now kicking serious arse.

Yeeeesssssss. After all the shit that Super got while it was covering the first two movies, it’s been making a successful turn around with the tournament and the intro to this saga/villain.
Theories on Black Goku are very tinfoil-amusing at the moment.
The recent DBS episodes have a tremendous resemblance with the Dragonball Multiverse online comic.
maybe inspired by it
.
First thing I thought was black goten with some sort of evil fusion ear ring when I seen the smoke disappear or is it confirmed to be black goku?
Can’t be Goten because as far as I’m aware future timeline is a continuation of the Android winning timeline from DBZ, which goku died to early to conceive Goten.
Well if the timeline only departed with the death of goku, as per DBZ, Goku is dead in Trunks’ timeline. He also would have died before goten was born so it probably isn’t him. Although he is wearing a potora earring, its only one, not two.
So for me, Im still guessing. It could be a clone? Don’t know…
what is dragon ball super and why have I not seen it?!?
This must change
Black Goku? Smells like the black star dragon balls.
