Future Warrior in Black

The is an incarnation of from a timeline wherein he did not have enough strength to save his Trunks and Bulma from being murdered by the Androids.
He is one of several "Warriors in Black" that are allied with Aeos. He and his fellow Warriors in Black support their leader, Aeos' mysterious yet malevolent intentions for the Super Space-Time Tournament as one of the many antagonists. He later realizes the error of his ways and supports the heroes in their battle against Demigra and his allies.
==Appearance==
The Future Warrior appears as a tall, stern and muscular man missing his left arm and sporting a scar that runs down the left side of his face. Like his fellow Warriors in Black, he hides his identity with a hooded black cloak, as well as a brown masked undershirt to hide his mouth. He also wears dark-blue boots with yellowish stripes on the bottom edges.
After discarding his disguise, the Future Warrior appears to have his gi that he had worn similar to his father's, only in a different color palette, consisting of a closed black gi secured by a blue knot-tied obi over his waist, grey undershirt, brown pants, black wristbands, and black boots with grey stripes on the bottom edges. 
==Personality==
This version of Future Gohan likely initially matched the main Future Gohan in terms of personality. However, he soon fell into despair over his weakness and inability to save his Future Bulma and Future Trunks from the Androids' attack. This extreme survivor's guilt caused him to pursue strength more than anything else and believe himself to be nothing without it, perhaps in an effort to become a better protector. Unfortunately, this also caused him to easily be swayed by Aeos' offer of power, though he retained his determination to never lose again when he became the Future Warrior in Black.
As the Future Warrior, he is mostly silent and acts on Aeos' behalf but displayed his real personality upon being confronted by Xeno Trunks, recognizing the face of his pupil and commending him for his strength but remarking that he retained his impatient tendencies when Trunks attempted to attack him for answers. During their proper bout, he revealed the extent of his corruption by showing his Dark Dragon Ball-enhanced form, displaying the lengths he was prepared to go to in his single-minded pursuit of power. Additionally, he seemed ready to fight Xeno Trunks to a potentially bitter end, fully willing to take down versions of his loved ones in order to achieve victory. In the manga, he attempted to downplay the body count of Aeos' goals by telling Xeno Trunks he sought to protect a singular, true timeline. When Xeno Trunks confronts him about the countless lives that would be lost, Future Gohan replies that he recognizes the limits what they can protect, though Xeno Trunks retorts that sacrifice is not an option, and upon eventually beating him, declares that he will protect every history in his stead. Future Gohan in turn commends him for his newfound strength.
==Biography==
===Background===
This Future Gohan's history closely followed that of his counterpart, the Future Gohan of Trunks' timeline's; up until the attack of the Future Androids which took the lives of both his timeline's Future Trunks and Future Bulma, rather than his own. Angered by his weakness and unable to forgive himself for being weak yet still alive, he was beguiled by Aeos and the power she granted him through the Dark Dragon Balls, becoming her Future Warrior in Black and joining the ranks of her other dark agents.
===Super Dragon Ball Heroes===
====New Space-Time War Saga====
In the manga, the Future Warrior in Black invited Hearts and Cumber to join a deadly survival mission.
====Supreme Kai of Time Saga====
The Future Warrior in Black appears alongside his fellow Warriors in Black behind Chronoa to restrain her from taking action against Aeos.
Later on, he appears alongside his fellow Warriors in Black, explaining to those who were victorious during the first round of the tournament that the losers have been erased from existence along with their universe. He confronts Super Saiyan God Xeno Trunks and uses his Dark Dragon Ball enhancement to fight against him. Goku, Piccolo, and Xeno Trunks remark that the Future Warrior's movements and characteristics are strikingly familiar with the latter soon realizing his true identity.
The Future Warrior in Black later brawls with Super Saiyan God Xeno Trunks in an area stylized after the dystopian future that both warriors knew, ultimately revealing himself as Future Gohan when Xeno Trunks better analyzes his single-armed fighting style. Aghast that the Future Gohan he knew would side with someone like Aeos, Xeno Trunks asks him why he would do such a thing, at which point the dark Future Gohan reveals his different past to his alternate student. Determined to prove his strength and declaring that power is the only meaning left in his life, he powers up with Super Saiyan and his Dark Dragon Ball enhancement, punching Xeno Trunks away and unleashing a furious assault on the Time Patroller, knocking him into a rock wall.
Xeno Trunks gets up and tells him that though he understands the Future Warrior's feelings and pain, he shouldn't continue since his reliance on one arm can't guarantee him victory. The Future Warrior in Black replies that he can't afford to lose to anyone anymore and prepares a One-Handed Kamehameha, to which Xeno Trunks responds with a Masenko. Unable to truly stand up to Xeno Trunks' power, the dark Future Gohan's Kamehameha is overwhelmed, and he sheds tears at yet another loss to his record before being struck by the Masenko, dropping to his knees and reverting to his base form. Equally saddened by the battle and the extent to which Future Gohan went to gain power, Xeno Trunks tells him his strength never used to come from such a dark place.

In the manga, Super Saiyan Xeno Trunks battles against the mysterious Future Warrior in Black on a battlefield resembling a ruined West City. Realizing the identity of his opponent from his Ki and fighting style along with the scar on his face, the warrior removes his cloak to reveal himself as Future Gohan. As they continue to battle, Xeno Trunks demands to know why he is involved with Aeos and the destruction of different histories. The Future Warrior in Black tells him that he is in fact protecting the one true history, being unable to protect his own after the Androids killed everyone including his timelines Trunks. He blames his own weakness and explains that he was granted his newfound power so that he will be able to protect the true history this time around.
The Future Warrior in Black transforms into a Super Saiyan himself and the two carry on fighting while Xeno Trunks continues to question his motivations. After receiving a powerful blast head on, Xeno Trunks transforms into a Super Saiyan God and tells the Future Warrior in Black that he can understand his pain all too well but sacrificing countless histories just to protect one is not the answer and vows to stop him. The two continue their intense and evenly fought battle leading to the Future Warrior in Black launching a One-Handed Kamehameha and Xeno Trunks a Masenko which creates a huge explosion from the collision. When the smoke clears, the Future Warrior in Black is shown laying on his back defeated. He compliments Xeno Trunks' current strength and Xeno Trunks promises him that he will protect every history.
In the anime, the Future Warrior in Black and Xeno Trunks are confronted by Super Android 13, Full Power Bojack, and Lord Slug who were summoned and empowered by Dark King Demigra while being watched by an empowered Super Perfect Cell from afar. They are overwhelmed by the four villains, but the Future Warrior in Black counters their combined attack with a Masenko. He then apologies to Xeno Trunks for being too weak to protect him in his own timeline but promises to protect him here and now. Xeno Trunks thanks Gohan and tells him that finally, he will protect him as well. They then transform into Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God respectively to fight the villains together.
Later in the battle, the pair witness Demigra and Super Saiyan Blue Goku's Energy Clash from afar. Despite the Future Warrior in Black wanting to help his father, they remain surrounded by enemies. However, his alternate brother Xeno Goten, Xeno Pan, and Majuub arrive, granting the Future Warrior in Black the opening to head towards the primary battle, knowing Xeno Trunks will continue to have help.
Arriving just as Goku's God Kamehameha is being overwhelmed, the Future Warrior in Black launches a One-Handed Kamehameha, creating a Father-Son Kamehameha that forces Demigra's attack back towards the demon once Goku reveals his Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken form. Despite their efforts, Demigra bulks up, adding more power to his energy blast and pressuring the father-son duo's energy wave even more. However, the darkness enhanced Super Saiyan 3 Warrior in Black joins the fray with his Rebellion Trigger, urging his family to show their foe the true power of the Saiyans. As all three begin increasing in power, Goku assumes his Perfected Ultra Instinct, Warrior in Black transforms into Super Saiyan 4, and Future Warrior in Black finally taps into the Super Saiyan 2 form. 
With their true strength on full display, their combined energy wave manifests into a 3 Generations Kamehameha that overwhelms and kills Demigra. Returning to the selection realm, the Future Warrior shakes Xeno Trunks' hand, hoping that they will meet again someday. He then takes off with Aeos and the other Warriors in Black to tour the other Space-Times.
In the manga, while flying through the Crack of Time with the Warriors in Black and Aeos after the tournament, the Future Warrior in Black is surprised when the Namekian in Black asks him if he would like to become his new disciple.
