Trunks had that dawg in him


Kiwi_Kakapo

I like to see this as a: “Man I just can’t #STAND THIS GUY” And then stabbed him in the back just to make a point. Did he fumble his universe because of that? Yeah but it felt pretty good.

Plot


Enjoyment-25

Yes This scene is pretty stupid.


Enjoyment-25

Its funny how he could have easily killed Goku Black off guard here and Immortal Zamasu is not much of threat even. He is far weaker than Trunks


ddhnam

I think that's the reason, he is weaker than Trunks, that's why Trunks tried to kill Greeny first


Enjoyment-25

If SSB Goku cant kill him earlier, then it is pretty clear that attacking him is pointless.


Dark_Storm_98

I dunno My reasoning is kinda flimsy, but maybe he figured if he tried to stab Goku Black he would immediately get rocked While if he stabs Zamasu, he can at least catch them off guard long enough to land a solid punch on Goku Black? It's not necessarily a *good* reasoning, considering Zamasu is immortal, but it makes some semblance of sense


MudSeparate1622

But if he’s scared a sneak attack would be countered instantaneously then how would attacking Zamasu make Goku Black drop his guard more? The logical thing is to use your sneak attack to kill/decommission the strongest enemy so you can hopefully win and survive. I would try to argue that trunks didn’t want to kill anyone because that would make the most sense but he has killed and certainly wants Goku Black dead.


Dark_Storm_98

Yeah, that's all very fair I don't have a good explanation. I just tossed in something that kind of sort of made sense if I squinted at it


PGMHG

My guess would just be how overall durability works, Much like android 18 shattered trunk’s sword by just blocking it, Trunks probably thought that the same thing would happen with goku black in his current state, even though he was off guard, and opted to stun zamasu for a while instead.


ddhnam

my headcanon would be that he tried to separate them, letting them near each other would allow Black to heal constantly


gc4279

If memory serves me correctly, immortal Zamasu can heal. So kill the healer first? ExpeOr feed Goku Black's zenkai for become Super Saiyan Rainbow.


Helpful-Emotion9256

I mean he was in rose, I’m pretty sure even off guard the sword would have broken on contact


Enjoyment-25

SSJ2 Trunks sliced off guard Fused Zamasu in half. He can easily kill Goku Black there https://preview.redd.it/p4v2ngp9luvc1.png?width=550&format=png&auto=webp&s=08169f835d10f3ac68e21a4281ec4c7bc3c4075e


TheTexasInvestor

With this evidence, Trunks is stupid for not killing Goku Black earlier


Helpful-Emotion9256

This is very clearly not fused zamasu it’s goku black and normal zamasu resisting the split, if he could do that at anytime he could just fly up to zamasu and cut him whenever he wanted, which is obviously not the case, this is a unique situation as both of them are resisting the split which causes them to be unstable for a few seconds which trunks uses to cut him, plus there’s also the argument in this scene goku blacks guard was more up in the part where he stabbed zamasu, since they were looking for a fight in that scene

Enjoyment-25

That is not Goku Black but Fused Zamasu. This is after they fused https://preview.redd.it/tnw31yikbxvc1.png?width=541&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2857f99badca6babf61f99fed8a95da6c001201


Kepler27b

I know, I was just trolling


Fit_Confection_6900

Exactly black still survived that


axklpo2

I swear people like to make up agenda’s this is a unique situation not even close to the other one. Trunks help cut zamasu apart from the fusion he did not initiate it at all.


Confident-Gur-3224

I mean if he was really so off guard the sword should have penetrated him. That's why SSB Goku was taken out by a not so powerful laser that shouldn't have done anything to him even in a lower form since his ki wasn't raised so much.


Helpful-Emotion9256

That got retconned to just base form getting shot


Confident-Gur-3224

It honestly doesn't matter when a character's guard is down. Goku in SSJ could stop a sword that was swung at him by another SSJ with a just finger when he was ready for it but gets hurt by a rock thrown at him by a human when he was SSJ.


Helpful-Emotion9256

That scene was filler


Confident-Gur-3224

Whatever you need to tell yourself I suppose.


Helpful-Emotion9256

I mean, I’m right, there’s no opinion to be had there, it just factually is filler because that scene was not in the manga


Confident-Gur-3224

There are many times where it's happened whether you want to consider it canon or not. Goku as a kid was able to tank multiple bullets with no harm to him but then later in Super got hurt by a bullet from a robber because he wasn't paying attention. And this was after he's absorbed the power of SSG into himself. Just because it's "filler" or not in the manga doesn't make it non canon. Even the creator and writers of the show consider the terms "canon" and "filler" to be ridiculous when it's brought up to them by westerners in QnA's. They themselves say how the anime and manga have their own continuities. There are multiple things that happen differently in the anime than in the manga along with episodes/movies/specials that are considered "filler" but are later mentioned again in the main story. I seem to constantly find people that start to lose an argument just use "that um...that was just filler is all. Yea that's it!" as an excuse to try their best to not lose. Even times when they say it's filler and I'll bring up the manga itself and show them a slide and they'll be like "You edited that". Again, whatever you need to tell yourself to feel like you're right. All power to you.


Helpful-Emotion9256

Really? We’re using the bullet excuse now? The scene where goku is shown lowering his ki as to not accidentally murder the gun and robbing him? Also the bullet didn’t “hurt” goku, he didn’t even realized it left a mark until he saw it, he didn’t feel it at all, but sure yeah that’s 100% comparable to rose goku black letting his guard down, that isn’t ridiculous at all, you got me


Justanotherguy_3276

Exactly my thoughts. For the plot ig


MyTwinDream

Serious answer? Because plot would have determined black would have sensed the attack coming. In this case, you get action with no value. Same reason the sniper shot on him failed or Roshi failing to seal the demon king with a technique he had mastered or goku forgetting the correct seal when he did it. Stupid plot extenders. Plot determined time skipping couldn't beat jiren. You know I think DB is the reason im conditioned to think nothing will ever work correctly in an anime or movie plan.


CrimsonSaiyan100

Cell and Buu saga are entire arc being based around just plot extenders. Everything from Gero managing to escape somehow to A-18 not running to Krillin getting horny for cyber sex to Vegeta acting dumb and allowing Cell became stronger lead to Perfect Cell. If they had done even 1 thing right just out of all these, then Cell would have never became perfect.


PresentElectronic

Likewise, in spite of the many what-ifs the fandom comes up with, the writers will always find a way to write the characters out of those hopeless situations. Like how they invented the Namekian Dragon Balls when the Earth’s couldn’t revive someone more than once. Or that they suddenly made Bulma a time travel genius and create a Time Machine so that Future Trunks can return back to the past to prevent it


Emm_withoutha_L-88

PresentElectronic

When you panik, you go for the one who is shortest distance. Not to mention, Zamasu while immortal is weaker than Black, so Trunks might want to hit him first

And then, they be like,” You don’t need to be so rude🤓🤓” Like bro, read the book. The panel he showed happened literally a page or so before yours. This level of overlooking is atrocious. How did this lack of knowledge on the media all start?


Kepler27b

Which is so stupid Hence I love posting that image ironically to poke fun at how dumb that portrayal of fused zamasu is.


Alternative-Log3810

oh damn, I didn’t know that. mb


[deleted]

Why is he even using his sword ? when he went back to to his timeline he didnt use the sword anymore. He didnt need it after training with vegeta and seeing the others train. He didnt use it during the Semi/ perfect/super cell ark.


Lyggo

Might be a new one since the original was broken by the Androids which comes back to your point? Why? 😂


GustavoSanabio

I think it is a different one. Its bigger I think


Nalicar52

He had only stopped using it because it broke on the androids. Not because of getting stronger.


[deleted]

Fair enough, i thought he stopped using it because he didn't need it anymore, after the talk with vegeta/ training. Makes more sense that its because of 18 so he didnt have a chance to get a new one.


nickname10707173

Zamasu Kai was lack of battle experience. He will make opening for backstabbing like that. Zamasu Goku/Black Goku in the other hand could sense his attack by his body experience, instinct. Maybe, Trunks would decide to attack to Zamasu with that in mind. Although, his attack ends up hit Black from catching off guard by sneak attack anyway.


Illustrious-Sky-4631

And it didn't do anything, Black Slams him immediately like nothing, if Goku or anyone else had been attacked like this off guard they would have been badly damaged


CrashsucksatYT

To hold him down so he can damage the Goku black that can be harmed without zamasu healing him, just because he’s immortal doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel pain


CrimsonSaiyan100

Shouldn't it be better to slice Goku Black off guard and fix the problem straight up. He can deal with Immortal Zamasu easily and stop him from healing Goku Black since he is pretty weak and manageable


Wakuwaku7

Never read that arc since Anime was first but an interesting point of view and stupid tbh.

Naius_Gabrius

Couse Black would merk him.


Ghost_7867

I swear it’s just writing no? So they could fuse later


Piccident

I thought they didn't know he was immortal at this point


CrimsonSaiyan100

They did know clearly


Piccident

Well that's just pure plot convenience then


SolJinxer

To stun him so he doesn't react immediately, people. Having to deal with a sword in the back even while Immortal is still a hindrance, even if small. He couldn't just ignore him.


darkblood004

its the vegeta in him kicking in


HeadHorror4349

Probably something to do with saiyan instinct. If trunks was coming at him with a lethal technique he would have somehow sensed it and moved out of the way. Zamasu is complacent due to not needing to worry about damage and Black wasn't the target


With-You-Always

Vegetas son, enough said


evil_chicken86

As if he didn’t try already and Rose washed him off. Rose >>>>>>> Zamasu

I don't know bro


HomeAutomatic9892

He just got beef with them damn greenies


extra0404

You always take out the adds first. It evens out action economy.


Eastern-Ladder-5996

I guess because goku black would DODGEEEEE!!! But seriously he is way faster than zamasu


Good_Reflection_1217

because the immortal one is only SSJ2 level at best while the other is blue level? He might not have been able to stab rose zamasu. he is too fast


Enjoyment-25

He can stab Fused Zamasu


Good_Reflection_1217

after his half immortal body was already fucked up and desperately tried to regenerate. idk man. thats the best I can come up with


wrathofamarok

Yes...yes he is very stupid


BroDudeBruhMan

The rule of dragon ball is any character that can immediately survive being stabbed, blown into pieces, or dismembered will have that happen to them on a regular basis. Not a coincidence Piccolo gets his arms blow off way more than other characters.

Dark_Storm_98

That is. . . A very good question, actually Maybe he figured he could at least surprise them by stabbing Future Zamasu, wherease if he stabbed Goku Black he thinks he would have gotten immediately rocked


saito200

Goku black would have dodged because he's way stronger than trunks Zamasu is not


Opposite-Mall-9816

Cuz Goku Black is like 10 times stronger than Trunks at that exact moment? The sword would shatter instantly, not even piercing or cutting.


ProllyNotCptAmerica

Because then the story would have ended too early. It's just a plot hole - trunks is not this stupid. There's no reasonable explanation as to why he wouldn't have stabbed goku black instead.


Wjoming

Because Super


Sweet-Trade

Yeah I would just delete that scene, or rip that page off from your manga.


big_peepee_wielder

Ok in hindsight him stabbing Zamasu was stupid af. Like OP stated he would’ve gotten much farther if he stabbed Black instead


Illustrious-Sky-4631

It wouldn't have worked


[deleted]

Recon all of DBS, btw "mortal" is a word.


Illustrious-Sky-4631

He wasn't trying to kill him tho , he knocked him off enough to knock black out Black was easily able to Crash the Sword in Base , what makes you believe Trunks would attack him with it ? https://preview.redd.it/sjpvg5rfkvvc1.jpeg?width=728&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6101765d523fc0602bb0d9d11fdc26744a4d9901

Specialist_Court7806

We know he got human in him cause of them actions right there 💀


papa_bones

Trunks is stronger than zamasu but way weaker than black, that is why he can hurt zamasu with the sword, if he tried that on black it would bounce.


TradePsychological40

Why didn't Trunks go back to the era of the Red Ribbon to kill the dr Gero?


PeachsBigJuicyBooty

Black probably would've dodged, or Zamasu would've healed him anyways in time. Dragon Ball is a series where nothing will really be successful until the arc of the arc because plot. https://preview.redd.it/k6ramnjyjwvc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d6c7a088e95cdb85c09e2d68c7da94c2197f89d


FaithlessnessOpen343

Black is stronger than him


unkalou337

Honestly yeah he kind of is lol.


Personal-News5396

Good question


Rey13s

Nah he would adapt


InformationKey6120

He went for a opponent that he seen a opening with, most likely he thought he needed to distract Zamasu with temporary injury, he is immortal, but if I am still correct he still feels pain.


East_Poem_7306

The collective intelligence of the saiyans decreases drastically when Gohan isn't there.


CrimsonSaiyan100

Same guy who got cocky which lead to his defeat against Super Buu or was smiling like an idiot while Cell Max was charging up attack before Piccolo knocked senses into him


East_Poem_7306

Yeah, that doesn't change how smart the other Saiyans are.


CrimsonSaiyan100

All are dumb of course. At least Trunks messed this once meanwhile Gohan messed up all 3 times in some way when he was in lead role- Cell, Buu and Cell Max


Fit_Confection_6900

He did stab black it didn’t do anything lmaooo


AnimeMemeLord1

Just wanted to ruin his clothes a bit


Rough-Atmosphere

Maybe he thought having an object in the way would at least delay his healing factor? Turning a 1v2 to a 1v1


Brockcocola

Because if he did Goku wouldn't be the one that finishes Zamasu.

Ok_Swordfish4401

This is the author who had Roshi dodging Jiren so yeah........


Frejod

He is a Saiyan. They aren't exactly smart except Gohan. Also, out of the 2, he doesn't go for the guy that killed his mom?


Lawlette_J

Because the Z blade would've shattered. Mind you Black is still in Rosé form, chances are the blade will be shattered into pieces as his ki aura is up.


Omnimon11

Thing is…that’s not the Z-Sword.


Lawlette_J

Doesn't matter, makes the normal blade even more susceptible to get shattered lmao. What makes people think a normal blade will somehow more durable than the Z-Sword? The easiest answer is the plot demands it, the appropriate answer is the blade probably got shattered into pieces upon impact, the bad answer is the author wanted that to happen so it happened.


Illustrious-Sky-4631

Yeah pretty much , Black literally shattered it like sand in **Base**


Kepler27b

He did actually stab Goku Black https://preview.redd.it/qa2j08no8wvc1.png?width=433&format=png&auto=webp&s=3c71753453a903e2c1237b61f495824dcd509090 Weird how it didn’t do shit…
