Goki Black

Background / Biography

Goki Black (ゴクウブラック, Goki Burakku), also known as Zamasu (ザマス, Zamasu), though usually referred to as Black (ブラック, Burakku), is an alternate incarnation of Zamasu and a former North Kai and Supreme Kai Apprentice (界王神見習い, Kaiōshin Minarai, lit. "Apprentice of a God of Kings of Worlds") serving his former master Gowasu from the unaltered main timeline's Universe 10. He serves as one of the main antagonists of the "Future" Trunks Saga of Dragon Ball Super, alongside Future Zamasu. Black visited Universe 6, went to the Super Dragon Balls from the unaltered main timeline within that universe, summoned Super Shenron from said timeline, wished to switch bodies with Goki from the unaltered main timeline's Universe 7, and Super Shenron granted Goki Black's wish. Goki Black sought to destroy all mortals alongside Future Zamasu, an alternate counterpart of her.[4]When he arrived to Future Trunks' timeline, he initially referred to herself as Goki.[5] However, due to the notable style and color difference between Black and Goki's clothes, she was given the name "Goki Black" by Future Bulma. Thus, she took the name even when she revealed her own identity.

Personality

While a man who cares for the development and prosperity of the universe, the present Zamasu often questioned the worth of lesser beings, not trusting in their ability to handle conflict, as they were prone to commence war in a repeated cycle. He also did not agree with how the Kais would not be more directly involved in mortals' actions, like the Gods of Destruction. Despite this, he acknowledged his lack of personal experience and was willing to diligently listen to his teacher Gowasu's words. To which, he was a humble, ordinary, deferential, and levelheaded man with just goals, as Gowasu noted by how well-balanced he would brew tea, implying that he was a just and honorable man. In battle, he is shown to be a very calm, regular, and methodical fighter, carefully perceiving his opponent's attack style and seamlessly countering in a fluid manner. However, after meeting Goki, his views radically changed, and his distrustful and questionable nature towards mortals only grew. Annoyed at Goki's enthusiastic and carefree attitude and lack of respect, his distaste for the gods not quelling the dangerous and destructive nature of mortals evolved to a radicalism-level. Shocked at how a mortal like Goki could gain a power rivaling gods (or even obtain such power to begin with) and so recklessly challenge one, Zamasu came to sternly believe that mortals by nature are evil. As with his counterpart, Black, despite claiming that he wants to rid the world of sinners, is nothing more than an unhinged madman who takes pleasure in tormenting others. He has no problem wiping out his fellow Gods as long as he gets his way. Furthermore, he, the other two Zamasus, he shares many flaws with the mortals he despises such as being highly self-centered and in the case of the Saiyans, a high lust for battle. In the case of the latter, it is likely due to stealing Goki's body.

Personality continued

Upon becoming Goku Black, Zamasu became an extremely cruel, ruthless, remorseless, narcissistic, manipulative and intelligent individual who has killed many humans including Future Bulma without a second thought saying it was in the name of "Justice". She also became more emotional, gaining an opposite personality to her host's body. During her fight with Future Trunks, she was enjoying the battle and demonstrates a sense of brutality as she savagely kicks Trunks' right arm breaking his bones and then shoots a barrage of Ki blasts at him. Goki Black’s distrust towards Mortals has also grown to the point where she utterly detests them, perceiving them as a sacrilegious blasphemy and God's greatest mistake. she elaborates this by stating that he has scoured several universes and has implied to have seen enough timelines via Time Ring to feel vindicated in his belief that mortals are an existence that prevents the universe as a whole from becoming a true paradise and has taken upon herself to destroy all traces of mortal life, whom she believes have only been allowed to live as long as they have because the Gods refuse to acknowledge their failure in creating mortals. Although to wipe out mortals, she resorts to using a mortal body to assure his dark justice.

Personality continued (again)

Judging from her derogatory and opprobrious comments about Trunks's Saiyan heritage, she has grown to see Saiyans as one of the worst kind of mortals, yet at the same time refers to them as a proud warrior race, and finds Trunks's unbecoming tactics for a Saiyan disgusting. She is also highly respectful for Goki, saying that is an honor to fight her. She also shares a few traits with Goki, namely her desire to fight strong opponents and love for combat, even going as far as not using her full power at the beginning of the battle to have a good fight, and she similarly habitually drops her guard. While she does respect her, she is no less willing to kill her than any other mortal. Black shares Goki's determination, after seeing Future Trunks disappear in the Time Machine, she promises to find him while claiming that there is nowhere for him to run. She also vowed to continue her goals no matter the cost.

Personality continued (there's a little bit)

She also shows masochistic traits, such as taking a full-force punch from Future Trunks while laughing, and seemingly enjoys the pain inflicted to him by Goku. The influence of the Saiyan genes seemed to have made her associate the pleasure of battle with the sensation of fine dining, as shown by her use of food metaphors, like appetizer and main course. However, she is slightly irritated, hot-tempered, and argumentative, as shown when Trunks threw his sword at him, in order to intercept Black's charged ki blast. That said, she is much better at keeping her temper in check than her future counterpart. Black also refused the chance to become immortal like his future counterpart. Thinking that her new body has all the power they need for their plan. She often says how amazing the powers of a Saiyan is. Claiming that their bodies are the "ultimate blessing from the gods". And just like Saiyan's, Black wants to get stronger on his own without handicaps like immortality aiding her. While claiming to want to purge all mortal life, she seemed to prefer prolonging their deaths - at least on Earth - both to punish them for the crimes she imagined, and to satisfy her sadism; her extension of extermination was also a reflection on the pleasure she feels in psychological torture. Goki Black was also incapable of accepting responsibility for her actions, which she considers "justice," yet is able to understand that Future Trunks considers her actions evil - reinforcing hers penchant for emotional abuse, explains that she was *inspired* by the hybrid Saiyan's own time travel, therefore deflecting responsibility for the casualties of her genocide onto the young man. There may have been a strategic slant in breaking Future Trunks' spirit, however, Goki Black's intentions were purely out of spite and cruelty. Ironically dislikes rough treatment, BDSM, etc. Oddly enough there is a way to "pacify" her, although it generally takes a little bit of thinking to figure out.

Appearance

Goki Black is a female alternative reality where Goku was a woman, Goki Black has breats and a vagina. Black's original appearance was the same as her other timeline counterparts. After stealing Goki's body she underwent some physical changes. While still looking mostly identical to Goki, Black has a thinner physique and facial structure, giving her a somewhat younger look than Goki. Her eyes are sharper, similarly to how Goki's eyes change shape when she gets serious (albeit Black's eyes are drawn even sharper), giving him a more aggressive expression compared to the lighthearted Saiyan. Her Gi consists of a sleeveless dark gray jacket, a long-sleeved black undershirt, a red sash, black pants and white boots. She wears a single green Potara earring on her left ear and a silver Time Ring on her right index finger. When concealed in dark clouds or fire, Goku Black has the appearance of a demon from hell, although this was only shown in her debut.

Abilities / Powers

Even before becoming Goki Black, Zamasu was a fighting prodigy and by far the most powerful Kai that ever lived. According to Goki, Zamasu's power far surpasses the power of Universe 7's Kaioshin and happens to be superior to the former Kaioshins who were killed/absorbed by Majin Buu, though she is not as strong as Super Saiyan 2 Goki post-training with Whis. In the anime, after becoming Goki Black, she is strong enough to easily defeat Future Trunks (in his Super Saiyan form) in battle, gets blasted with a ki-powered shotgun without being harmed, and destroy almost every human within a year. It is said by Future Trunks that Goku Black possesses power equal or greater than Super Saiyan 3 Goku. However, during the encounter with Goki, Black was roughly comparable to Super Saiyan 2 Goku and kept gradually increasing her power during the fight. After her encounter with Goki, Black embedded Goki's fighting style into her own, making her more powerful than before. With her power increased in her base form she is able to take blows from Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta until she transformed into her Super Saiyan Rose' form, allowing her to overpower Vegeta. However, once Vegeta trains in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the Saiyan prince was able to beat and severely overwhelm Black as the latter questioned the difference of power between them. She possessed some swordsman skills, as she is able to face off against the experienced Trunks. she can create clones of herself which have the ability to reform themselves after dispersing.

Abilities / Powers continued

In the manga, Black couldn't access all of Goki's powers right away and had trouble attaining the standard Super Saiyan form. However, by exploiting the Saiyan's ability to become stronger after each passing battle and Future Zamasu's healing ability, Black's abilities grew. In her standard Super Saiyan form, Black was able to beat Super Saiyan 2 Future Trunks easily. Against Vegeta however, Black had trouble fighting the prince. Vegeta was utilizing his Super Saiyan 2 rage mode to overpower Super Saiyan Goki Black. Black was able to hold her own for a short time until Vegeta went Super Saiyan Blue. At that point Black was outclassed by Vegeta and was almost defeated by him until her future counterpart saved her. After healing Black's injuries, Black's base Super Saiyan form was now on par with Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, taking blows from Vegeta's godly might with little damage whatsoever. Eventually, Black's Super Saiyan form evolved into her Super Saiyan Rose form. In her Rose form, Vegeta was defeated and Trunks stepped in to stall Black and Future Zamasu so that Goki and Vegeta could escape. In her rematch with Vegeta, Vegeta was able to overwhelm Black by switching from his Super Saiyan God form to his Super Saiyan Blue form at the moment she attacks.

Transformation

By using her Godly Ki along side her Super Saiyan form, Goki Black is able to access her own version of the Super Saiyan Blue form called Super Saiyan Rosé. In this form, the hair color is pink with pure white highlights, her hair is lengthened by roughly 5 inches. The eyebrows are a whitish-pink color, and the eyes follow suit. The aura resembles a flame of darkness, with a reddish-purple inside. The clothing gains a purple hue and the user glows with purple particles. What separates this form from Super Saiyan Blue is that Black uses natural god ki. Because of this, the forms color is different from Super Saiyan Blue's. This form evolves Black to become nearly superior to both SSB Goki and SSB Vegeta individually and defeats Vegeta easily by stabbing him with an Energy Blade made from her aura. It also powers up her Black Kamehameha so much that it could leave both SSB Goku and SSJ2 Future Trunks severely injured with one hit. However, she was no match for SSB Vegeta who learned to shift forms and overpower Black with both speed and strength. Upon receiving several beatings from Goki, Trunks, and Vegeta, her powers increase to the point where she can create an energy scythe and cut holes in time-space, allowing her to summon clones of herself with the same amount of power and can reform themselves after getting hit.

Techniques

"Black Power Ball" The Black Power Ball is charged by one hand, creating a golden energy sphere with a core of black energy, creating a devastating explosion upon impact. When fired, the energy ball is completely golden with a black outline. Future Zamasu uses an indigo colored version of this. The attack can also be fired as a Continuous Black Power Ball. "Black Kamehameha" Black cups her hands in the signature Kamehameha stance, forming a dark-purple ball of energy before firing a powerful beam of purple energy against her opponents. It is powerful enough to destroy an entire city. Her SSR Form uses a stronger pink version of the attack called Super Black Kamehameha. "Violent Fierce God Slicer" SSR Black creates a weapon with her energy aura and uses it against her opponents. It is strong enough to cut the skin of even a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. The three main weapons used are: a sword, a scythe, a scimitar, it can be used to open portals, and can be fired in the form of multiple javelins. "Instant Transmission" Other than the Kamehameha, this is one of the most frequent abilities belonging to Goki that Black used.

Equipment

Time Ring: As she wears a Supreme Kai's Time Ring, she is immune from paradoxes, such as having her past self die, and yet she will continue to exist. She is able to follow a breach through time made by a time machine, although if the destination was in the past, she will shortly be dragged back to her initial time and space. She is able to travel through time into the future under the ring's own power, too.
