something greater waiting not so far away

[NARRATOR] Previously, on Dragon Ball Super,

in his dark, alternate future,

the warrior Trunks fought alone

against a merciless invader who looks exactly like Goku.

[GOKU BLACK] Are you finished?

Considering you represent the end of your proud warrior race,

this is a pathetic showing from you, boy.

[FUTURE TRUNKS grunting]

Good riddance, Saiyan.

Masenko!

[NARRATOR] Trunks was wounded, but managed to escape

in the time machine thanks to the high price

paid by Bulma and Mai.

[GOKU BLACK] Hiding again? Not for long.

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Their sacrifices bought me

this one-way trip. I won't waste it. I can't!

[NARRATOR] His destination: 17 years in the past,

to the present timeline he helped create.

But he opened his eyes to an alarming sight.

[gasps]

[NARRATOR] The tense reunion continues, now!

Uh...

[BULMA] Huh?

Hey, what's the matter, Trunks? It's me.

I'll kill you!

--[BULMA grunts] --[MAI, PILAF, SHOU shriek]

What do you think you're doing? That's Goku!

Wait, so it's really you?

You're--You're alive? But I-I thought--

When you got rid of Cell...

[chuckles] Oh, yeah.

A lot's happened since then.

It's a long story, but I'm back now!

I had no idea. I'm sorry, Goku.

I thought you were-- I-I didn't know.

I'll admit you did surprise me.

It's crazy seeing you after all this time.

Yeah, what's wrong?

Can you explain what's going on here?

Mom?

Whoa, so it's true! He called Mom "Mom"!

This is bigger than big! This is like a soap opera!

[PILAF, SHOU] Mhmm! Mhmm!

We've got front-row seats. I just wish we had popcorn.

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Mom.

--[BEERUS] Mmm. --[WHIS] Hm.

What is it, Trunks? Talk to me.

[FUTURE TRUNKS sobs]

What happened to you, honey?

Hey kid, tell me something.

What?

I seem to remember your name being Trunks as well,

--isn't that right? --[TRUNKS] Mhmm.

Quite the shocking turn.

This would suggest they've tampered with time.

Would they dare?

After all of the sacrifices, we did it, Mom.

We made it count.

Sounds like you've been through a lot.

Are you okay?

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Thank you. I'm fine.

Hello, Father.

[ALL] Did you hear that?

They just confirmed all our suspicions were right!

Except the clone thing-- don't forget that.

I say we apply some heat and crack this thing wide open!

[ALL chuckle]

I hope you so-called adults are proud!

Look how much you've traumatized

this poor, helpless lad!

[TRUNKS] Uuuh...

Let's review. His name is Trunks.

His name is also Trunks. What's going on?

Why are both your kids called Trunks?

Did you forget you had the first?

Is the second a do-over?

Is this dog right about the clone army?

[PILAF, MAI, SHOU groan]

Would you put a sock in it already?

This isn't complicated.

They're both our only son, Trunks.

[ALL] Huuuuh?

Don't you get it? This Trunks is a future version of this one.

I was afraid of that.

[ALL] Let me get this straight.

They're the same person?!

I'm freaking out here.

When I grow up I'll look like him?

[FUTURE TRUNKS] It's good to meet you.

Uh. Thanks, you too.

[VEGETA] Do you still need to carry that?

It's comforting. Always has been.

I see.

[PILAF] An actual time machine?

[MAI] I didn't think it was possible.

[SHOU] Oh, man. I could really use one of those.

[MAI laughs]

I know, it's a real feat of engineering,

and a Capsule Corp. original, too!

It's one of my greatest inventions of all time.

That's an intentional pun.

How haveInever seen this?

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Actually, you have.

You were just too young to remember.

You were a baby the first time we met.

Huh?

Yeah, I forgot about that!

[VEGETA] Hmph.

These earthlings never cease to surprise me, my lord.

Manipulating time through mechanical means alone.

It strains belief. Hmph.

Yes, even I assumed it was impossible

for mortals to build such a thing.

[laughs]

I'm glad to hear you're impressed!

Impressed is not the word I would use, Bulma.

No one can doubt your skill in accomplishing this,

but that doesn't mean that you should have.

Don't you know playing with time is a serious taboo?

--Huh? --[gasps]

[GOKU BLACK] What can this mean?

I've searched every corner of this broken planet.

And yet I'm not even picking up a trace of his energy.

[grunts] Where are you, Saiyan?

That's when it happened.

The moment he disappeared.

His ship was right here.

The Time Ring's reacting.

[GOKU BLACK] What is that?

I find it appalling that I have to say this, but...

...time is fragile. And jumping through it

on the scale you evidently have is strictly forbidden.

For cosmic stability, time is only meant to flow

in one direction. The nature of our reality,

with all its interwoven systems, depends on that.

When jumping backward through time,

even picking a single flower-- if it's the right flower--

could have profound effects.

An entire city could be affected.

Change the right city, and you can change a civilization.

Change the right civilization,

and a planet could be wiped off the map.

I get that, but what if you're trying to save a planet?

[WHIS] Motives don't matter.

The repercussions are too great, which is why even most deities

are not allowed to move unfettered through time.

Much less mortals.

Hold on, deities?

Yeah, you heard 'em right.

That one dude's called a Destroyer god!

And maybe destruction is needed here.

Call it "damage control."

What kind of destruction?

Wait, you can't punish him for this!

I'm the one who invented the machine, not him!

But future me, not now me.

--That makes no difference. --What did you just say?

[gasping]

Wait, Mr. God, sir, listen to me, please!

But I'm the--

Your "Mr. God Sir" is over there.

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Uh.

Believe it or not, the kitty cat is a Destroyer god.

I am merely Lord Beerus' faithful attendant.

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Seriously? Huh.

I thought you were the god and he was the pet.

[BULMA giggles]

[FUTURE TRUNKS] I mean, sorry! You're very godly!

Lord, please, if you have to judge someone for this,

spare my mother and judge me!

Hey! Go easy on him, Lord Beerus.

He's a good fighter!

And no one told him it was wrong.

[laughing]

This is a tough one, my lord. How will you handle it?

Hmm. Let me see. Am I feeling destructive today?

--[ALL gasp] --[FUTURE TRUNKS gasps]

I know. Delight my palette with something

I've never tasted and I'll let you off

with the firmest of verbal warnings!

Works for me!

I have just the thing. Ever had fish sausage?

Obscenely questionable.

Well, when on earth...

[BOTH] Mm!

It's delicious!

Like a mouthful of paradise!

Was the fate of our planet just decided by sausage?

Those musta' been some good weenies!

[BULMA] Here. See for yourself.

[WHIS] Right? Am I right?

[PILAF] Shou, give me yours!

[KRILLIN] I'm having flashbacks.

It's like the old days when we were training with Roshi.

Hey, that's what Goku said to rope me in.

Well, you gotta admit we worked up a sweat.

[PICCOLO] That we did.

[CHICHI] Guys, there's trouble! It's an emergency!

--Great, now what? --You sense something?

I've been too busy with lettuce.

A time machine just showed up!

Time machine-- what are you talking about?

Going by the odds, I would guess Trunks.

That's right. He popped up at Capsule Corp.

and everyone's trying to figure out what's going on!

We heard it was a big enough deal that Dad and Vegeta

came back from training so they could help!

Something bad could have happened again

in Trunks' future.

Well, I guess break time is over.

[PICCOLO] Yeah. Hmm.

We're off.

[GOTEN] Hey! Wait for me!

[CHICHI] No, you don't! How many times do I have to tell you?

You need to study!

But what about Trunks? The world could be in danger!

Nothing is more dangerous than flunking a test, mister!

[beeping]

[BULMA] Wow, my future self is so far beyond genius!

I'm not even sure how half this stuff works!

[grunting]

Well, when in doubt, just grab something and yank it!

Have you tried this here?

--[BULMA] Hey! --[PILAF] Aah!

Don't get any ideas. You better not even think

of using this machine for yourself.

What? I'd never!

[hollers]

[PILAF] Even though I do have the perfect reason.

I'd go back and save that coin I dropped.

A hundred zeni!

[SHOU, MAI, BULMA] Cheapskate!

Well, scheme all you want-- this thing can't travel anyway.

[PILAF] And why not?

[BULMA] Look at the fuel gauge. It's an empty tank!

[MAI] Does that mean big Trunks is stuck here?

He can't go back?

But what if he has dogs to feed?

[PILAF] Can't you do anything to help?

[yells]

I want to, but I don't know what it uses for power!

Couldn't future me include some kind of instruction manual?

[grunts]

Whoa, could it be?

Bingo.

This is perfect! It's in my own handwriting.

These are my notes!

So, what kind of trouble are we talking about?

Don't tell me. Is it Majin Buu?

Not him. I already dealt with that threat.

[DABURA chuckles]

[yells]

[BOTH yell]

It was a tough battle, and I barely made it.

But I was lucky. Supreme Kai warned me and helped me fight.

[DABURA groans]

[yells]

[DABURA yells]

[FUTURE TRUNKS] It's a long story, and there were losses,

but ultimately I defeated Dabura and Babidi

and stopped Buu from hatching.

But our peace was short-lived.

After that, an even more terrifying foe appeared.

--[gasps] --Huh?

Someone worse? So tell us, who is he?

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Sorry I swung at you earlier, Goku.

But what I'm trying to tell you is,

well, there was a reason I attacked.

[GOKU] You were just rattled. Don't worry about it.

No, you don't understand; it was more than that.

When I saw you I thought my escape through time

had failed and I was still seeing him.

Uh. Still seeing who?

Spit it out. Who was it?

This foe. He told us that he was Goku.

--He what? --He's me?

[BOTH] Hmm.

[VEGETA] You're saying this enemy threatening your future

looks exactly like Kakarot and claims to be him, too?

Yeah. I'm afraid so.

Well, isn't that a slap in the face!

Except he wears dark clothes instead of

your orange ones, so we started calling him Goku Black.

[GOKU] That makes him sound really cool!

So he's cooler than me?

Please! Goku Black? You couldn't be more creative?

Yeah, I guess.

But you're the one who came up with it, Mom.

Uuuh! [chuckles nervously]

Well, different timelines. It's me, but it's not, you know?

In any case. This Black...

I'll never forget the day he showed up.

He looked down on all of us

and said he was going to exterminate the human race.

He said he was doing it in the name of justice.

[ALL gasp]

[PEDESTRIANS gasping]

[PEDESTRIANS screaming]

[FUTURE TRUNKS] He'd said he's already destroyed

other species across the cosmos, too.

And he was only beginning.

[FUTURE TRUNKS grunts]

[FUTURE TRUNKS] I struggled against him

for a year after that. But, by that point

there was hardly any resistance left on Earth.

Then he got Mom, too.

He tracked her down just before I came here.

[GOKU gasps]

What? You're saying the me in your future is dead?

So, is that it? Then you tucked your tail

and ran to this time like a frightened child?

No, I--

Hey, don't you think you're being kinda harsh, Vegeta?

You keep your mouth shut, Kakarot!

You have the proud blood of Saiyan royalty

flowing through your veins

yet you chose a coward's retreat?

That's not it!

Don't try your excuses with me!

[BULMA] He's not "running away." He's here for reinforcements.

They made a plan to defeat Black,

and now he's carrying it out.

It's all here, in this message from my future self.

Wait, what message? Where did you get that?

[BOTH] Uh.

[BULMA] Look. This disc is loaded with

maintenance software. I can run diagnostics,

restore programs, and do repairs if there's any damage.

But that's not the best part.

The real treasure is this notebook.

[SHOU, PILAF, MAI] Uuh?

[BULMA] It's full of theories and formulas for time travel.

No scientists has ever come close to this.

It's a game changer!

How can you read that?

You need to work on your cursive.

Well, I can read it; that's all that matters!

And it's not just my notes.

My future self also wrote a message specifically to me,

saying she wants me to refuel the machine,

perform maintenance, and get it ready for a trip back.

But this time, with some help.

That means she wants me to go there

and beat Kakarot myself!

C'mon, Vegeta, it's not me.

Must be someone who just looks like me!

Now I understand.

Mom said it was a risk but I just had to trust her.

What?

I thought that meant to have faith in her plan,

but she meant to have faith in you.

That you could figure it out and get us back there to fight!

Yeah, don't worry, Trunks. We've got this.

We'll go with you to the future!

Sure, but the job of defeating Kakarot will be mine,

are we clear?

Dude, it's not me!

All right, let's do this thing!

It's time to go back to the future and avenge me!

--[VEGETA chuckles] --[GOKU chuckles]

I can barely stand this. Manipulating time

with apparently no conception of consequences.

Yes, it's awful, but still...

I'm transported straight to flavor town!

I'm right there with you, my lord!

First things first. Help me gauge how strong this guy is.

Fight me for a while, so you can compare my strength to his.

Yeah, understood.

And don't hold back.

[bellows]

[chuckles]

Jumping to Super Saiyan 2 right off the bat, huh?

Sure, sounds good to me.

[bellows]

[BOTH yelling]

That's too much power.

Whoa, dude.

They could tear up the whole city!

[PEDESTRIANS gasping]

[screaming]

Come on, you guys!

You gotta warn me before you do that!

[PILAF, SHOU, MAI] Huh?

Much better. Now they can fight their hearts out.

[GOKU] Okay. Now come at me.

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Right.

Go, future me! Make us proud!

[VEGETA] Hm!

[yells]

[yells]

Whoa! He really pushed Goku back!

[chuckles] You're pretty strong, aren't ya?

I'm not. Even at this stage, I'm a joke to Black.

Every time I thought I had him,

he'd just reach a higher level of power.

I see. So... more like this?

[FUTURE TRUNKS gasps]

[bellows]

I figured this one out after you left.

I call it Super Saiyan 3.

That's--That's incredible!

When we went beyond Super Saiyan,

I thought that was the limit of our power,

but now you've gone beyond that!

Well, leave it to you, Goku.

In that case I'll show you my strongest move.

All right. Attack me with everything you've got.

[FUTURE TRUNKS yells]

It appears the kid is more powerful than I thought.

Yet he still fell short. Seems to me this

"Goku Black" fellow's the truly intriguing one.

[FUTURE TRUNKS] He stopped my full-power strike

with his fingers?

[GOKU chuckles]

[yells]

[GOKU] You okay, Trunks?

[FUTURE TRUNKS] Yeah.

That's gotta hurt.

You should be proud of yourself, Trunks.

I'm impressed you could improve that much on your own.

Thanks. I've been trying. But still...

You don't think it counts 'cause Black is still stronger?

As strong as you.

Actually, I think he might have you outmatched.

[GOKU] Stronger than me? Awesome!

[laughing]

Sounds like this Goku Black is really powerful, isn't he?

Can't wait to fight him!

Uh. Why are you excited?

[VEGETA sighs]

[KRILLIN] Look what the hole in space-time dragged in!

Oh. Hey, what's up you guys? It's great to see you!

Hey! You're still rockin' the old sword, huh?

So what brought you here?

Let me guess; your future's in trouble?

Well, yeah. I'm afraid so.

[thunder]

[PICCOLO] What the--?

[BOTH] Uh?

[GOKU BLACK] Hm? What is this place?

Goku Black!

Oh, now I see. No wonder I couldn't find you.

Hm?

[chuckles] Well, you must be Goku.

So you're Goku Black!

[NARRATOR] Two Gokus, face to face.

Next time, on Dragon Ball Super!

Whoa–oa

Whoa–oa

Whoa–oa

It's hard to say - don't wanna stay

I twist and fight, can't find my way

I must believe, that fear and trouble

can even be fun if you think the right way

Whoa–oa

Whoa–oa

Whoa

I don't wanna draw the line, I gotta see it through some way

Fight for what I know is mine, the dream I had of me that day

Whoa–o-oa

Whoa–o-oa

Whoa–oa–oa

Don't care if they call me greedy,

If they ever make it make it through,

Don't care if they laugh at me,

cus' I will make the dream come true

Whoa–oa

Whoa–oa

Whoa–oa–oa

Hey it's me, Goku!

At least I think I am...

It's hard to know what's going on with this Goku Black.

Who is he? And how'd he get here from the future?

He doesn't have a time machine...

Well, I may not know all that, but at least I can answer the most important question:

How strong is he?

Next time on Dragon Ball Super:

Make sure you don't miss it, okay?
