Dragon Ball Super Ep. 63 Thoughts

I apologize.

That is what I'm doing right now.

I apologize.

I apologize for not believing in Vegeta not getting his time to shine. For not believing that he can surpass Goku in power. For not believing he can be a total badass when push comes to shove.

And why a lot of people (particularly Western fans) love Vegeta far more than Goku.

.....least until we see the fused Zamasu and Black. Zack? Blamasu?

Besides that, the episode has finally confirmed 100% that the Zamasu that became Goku Black was indeed from the Prime Timeline, and not from the other alternate timelines. The Time Ring was the one thing that saved Black from the Time Paradox.

The episode also provided insight on why Whis did not get involved, which is quite unusual, as he and other like him are tied to the Hakaishin and thus became 'inactive' when a Hakaishin dies until a new Hakaishin is formed. The series describes Whis and Vados as 'angels' and the Japanese dialogue describes them as such.

Which is weird since, least in DBZ, heaven would be the realm of King Enma, so the angels would reside there, rather than those who are the likes of Whis.

Despite me being a Catholic, my knowledge about Heaven and Hell the way Catholicism/Christianty describes it is very vague. But if I'm not mistaken, there are just as many levels of Heaven, as there are in Hell, as described in Dante's Inferno. So I would think this is how they base and rank the deities in the Dragon Ball Multiverse, with the Omni-King sitting at the very top.

And yeah, the recent episode has yet to explain the Omni-King's whereabout in this conflict. Whether he has dominion over all timelines or another version of him existing in the Future Timeline, what is pretty much certain is that the Zero Mortals Plan by the Zamasus has not reached his attention, and is likely to remain that way for the time being.

Seeing Bulma getting more involved in this arc I think makes her a more popular, if not relatable character, as she is one of the few who lacks any kind of powers, but bears witness to the trials of Goku and Vegeta. I would say she metaphorically represents the audience, who can only bear witness to the conflict at hand.

As depicted in the leaked summaries, the Mafuba is in pieces, but is still usuable, provided Future Trunks can put it back together with good ol' Super Glue.

Finally, it's nice that Crunchyroll, Daisuki, and AnimeLab get to air the official subs of Dragon Ball Super not long after the Japanese broadcast. For one, it reduces the amount of having to wait so long for the fan subs and avoiding spoilers (which I'm used to, by the way), and be able to make these postings much sooner.
