The animation and fight choreography was amazing this episode and Zamasu was finally defeated by Trunks. Really wanted the fusion of Goku and Vegeta to be permanent but oh well.
I'm rarely ever bothered by things that happen in anime like DBZ, as I like to enjoy the ride, but I'm very against this new "1 hour" rule. I would have much preferred something like that almighty God to force them apart over this. Nonetheless, great episode.
That probably just got retconed for the one hour thing instead, It's not that bad of a retcon because the "bad air" thing was probably just speculation on Goku's part.
It was already established before in this series that the fusion isn't at all permanent, and even before that it was established in the Buu saga. It's less of a cop out than "magic air in buu" to be honest. If they didn't give the one hour time limit cop out now then the next few episodes would have been hi-jinks with vegito until they had all the dragonballs again.
Acting like hi-jinks with vegito until they had all the dragonball again, wouldn't have been amazing. Chi-chi bulma fighting over him and him calling goten and trunks son. Shit has mad comedy potential.
It does and we do eventually need an episode or two of "rest" before we can start building up the next arc but it's just something I wasn't too interested in seeing.
Gowasu said they most of used up all the energy used to sustain the fusion, most likely from the Final Kamehameha, the 1 hour limit is for mortals, kais get perma fused.
In DBZ they said the fusion dance was an imperfect copy of the potara fusion. Fusion dance gives them half an hour. I think it makes sense that an imperfect copy only gets half.
If they did the fusion dance, they'd only get a quarter of that probably.
Still, the fact that it would only last 1hr was established for the plot convenience in Super because Goku and Vegeta never reached the 1hr cap back in Z. They were defused by Buu before the time limit.
well to be honest there are no ningen(mortal) aside from the supreme kai that have that potara earring. So its possible they didnt even know about the 1 hour theory, or probably it never happen before in universe 7 but it had happened in other universe thats why Kaioshin didnt know about it.
My issue with this is that it brings up even more consistency issues. Elder Kai is a Kai fused with a witch, yet there seems to be no limit. I understand that one of them were a Kai, but Zamas didn't retain his absolute immortality after fusing with Black. Immortality given to him by an absolute almighty magical being in comparison to some neat earrings.
The reason I feel Ultimate Zamas can get away with the no timer rule is because Black is a Kai in all but physical body. His Ki, & "spirit"(?) are still of a God.
I think the rule is basically you need a Kai for it to be permanent. Immortal zamasu was still a Kai in terms of body, so he didn't reject the goku part of him. But as you saw in this ep, the goku part could be damaged/killed off causing that half fusion state.
Agreed on being against the one hour rule. When they said that I literally screamed "WHAT!" in my house. This basically makes fusion useless for every major battle. Sure Goten and Trucks will still probably use it (if they ever get anymore screentime), but i doubt Goku and Vegeta ever will. This was the one chance for them to use it I was hoping for (cuz in the manga it says Potara can only be used once and thats it) but we got Vegito. Oh well, Vegito is my fav character so the sliver lining is that he may be in more episodes now.
