Gokū Black

> Look at yourself monkey, you’re trash of the universe. Hahahaha! Your mere breaths, your pathetic heartbeats, your lowly planet, are all at my mercy. You see? I’m the God of this world, the supreme being, blessed by the universe! It’s my will that if you and this universe are annihilated or not. Now stop resisting and enjoy your last moments.

> Gokū Black to Future Trunks

## Summary

**Gokū Black**, or commonly known as **Black**, is an evil being that appeared in Future Trunks' timeline. He murdered almost every beings in Future Trunks' world except for Future Trunks himself. Later, he was revealed to be **Zamasu** from an alternate world who stole Son Gokū's body and killed everyone in his world.

## Personality

Black is undoubtedly a complete psychopath, he is extremely narcissistic, shows no empathy to anyone and enjoys killing people, tortures them as much as possible. He likes making his enemies suffer, causes pains to them physically and mentally. This was shown the most when he broke Future Trunks’ arm and ribs, then killed his mother by crushing her head with his foot, forced Trunks to watch her entire death, and then mocked him about how useless he was. Black only spared Trunks because he had a lot of potentials and could entertain him in the future.

Black has an extreme complex like most Zamasus, considers himself as the only and true god, forces his enemies to praise him and thinks he can do whatever he wants. Black is also a hypocrite, although he says humans deserve to be erased because they destroyed their world, he himself admitted he also destroyed many planets, and he even said he would destroy the Earth whenever he wanted.

## Abilities

* **Flight** - The most basic ability in this series, Black can flight easily by himself.

* **Extrasensory Perception** - Black can sense people through sensing their Ki.
* **Saiyan Physiology** - As Black’s body is a Saiyan’s body, Black has all characteristics of a Saiyan. Black’s body gets stronger through fighting and grows during battles. He can get absurdly stronger after being healed up from a near-death experience.

### Techniques

* **Black Kamehameha** - Son Gokū’s signature move, as an evil doubleganger of Son Gokū, Black Gokū also has his own evil version of Kamehameha.

* **Instantaneous Movement** - As another Gokū, Black also possesses Gokū’s signature teleportation techniques. Black can teleport himself through different locations and dimensions with the technique. The only weakness of the technique is that it requires the ability of energy sensing, and if there is no significant life energy source around the location, the user can’t teleport themselves to the location.
* **God Split Cut** - As an alternate version of Zamasu, Black is also capable of creating an energy blade around his hand. He used it to kill a lot of people, he used it to kill his former master and used it to murder Gokū’s family. Black used it to fight against Vegeta but he fails badly against him.
* **God Binding Light Bullet** - Black’s paralyzing technique, he creates an energy blast that paralyzes user’s movements when it hits them. Black in his Ultra Ego form used it against Vegeta and he almost killed him if not because Trunks tried to save him.
