Goku Black(Zamasu)

Intro Goku Black is a major antagonist in *Dragon Ball Super*, appearing in the "Future Trunks" saga. His true identity is Zamasu, a Kai from Universe 10 who becomes disillusioned with the mortal beings in the multiverse. Zamasu views mortals as inherently flawed and unworthy of existence, believing that the universe would be better off without them. His twisted sense of justice leads him to plot their destruction. Zamasu initially seeks to carry out his plan by using the Super Dragon Balls to swap bodies with Goku, a powerful and skilled fighter. This transformation turns him into Goku Black, allowing Zamasu to possess Goku's strength and abilities, but with his own malicious mindset. As Goku Black, he is more ruthless, arrogant, and focused on his goal of achieving "Zero Mortals," a world where only gods remain. The character of Goku Black is marked by his striking appearance, which includes his black Gi, the use of Goku’s signature moves like the Kamehameha, and a twisted, sinister version of Goku’s fighting style. His power is further enhanced by his connection to Zamasu’s immortality, making him even more dangerous. Alongside his partner, the alternate version of Zamasu from the present timeline (who joins him in his goal), they create a terrifying threat for the *Dragon Ball* heroes, particularly Future Trunks, who must confront them to save his devastated timeline. Goku Black’s existence represents a dark mirror to Goku’s own character, showing what happens when immense power is used for selfish and destructive purposes. His arc explores themes of godly arrogance, the abuse of power, and the desire to impose a singular, rigid vision of justice upon the universe.
