"Dragon Ball Super" episode 54 recap
The episode starts with Trunks indulging in image training on the lake by himself. He imagines himself fighting with Black Goku but he cannot win. Meanwhile, in the lab, Dr. Briefs reveals that they have enough fuel for a round-way trip in the time machine.
Later, Pilaf comes in the lab and messes around with the emergency restart program of the time machine.
Bulma yells at him and asks him to stay away. However, she is later impressed with Pilaf's work as it has improved the machine.
She wonders how is Pilaf so capable, but he says that he is a regular kid.
Meanwhile, in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 54, Mai and Shu watching Trunks train on the lake. Shu tells Mai about image training and she tries it. She imagines herself kissing Trunks.
Soon, something crashes and we see Goku, Beerus and Whis. They are back and Whis says that Goku and Beerus were noisy and thus they crashed. But, Beerus believes that Whis has crashed on purpose.
Later, Whis tells that Black Goku and Zamasu's ki are quite similar. Zamasu's ki is not that evil compared to Black Goku's.
Also, Zamasu did not know Goku while Black knows he was. It is not possible to connect Zamasu and Goku.
Goku still feels that Zamasu is not evil. He fought with him and he is able to get an idea about his personality. After Trunks learns that Goku fought a God of Destruction and a kaioshin, he feels Goku is capable of defeating Black Goku.
Vegeta decides to train Future Trunks so he can face Black.
Elsewhere, in Universe 10's Kaioshin's realm, Gowasu tries Zamasu's new tea and he expresses that his tea is not as delicious as it used to be. He thinks that it is because Zamasu might be turning evil. However, Gowasu sees the emergence of a new mortal group on planet Babari and he is curious to know about their future. In the present moment, they are aggressive and violent and Zamasu suggests to wipe them out. Gowasu is shocked as only Gods of Destruction talk like that. The senior kaioshin suggests that they should go into the future to observe them.
Gowasu gets the Time Rings and explains that these should be used only to travel in the future and not in the past.
He also explains the different coloured rings that emerged when history was changed. He tells him that someone created a parallel world.
Gowasu tells him that only kaioshin can travel into the future, so he is promoting him from an apprentice to a kaioshin. He gives him a pair of Potaro earrings and tells him to be careful using them.
When they arrive in the future, they find out that the Babarians have become cultured but still a long way to go. Zamasu thinks that mortals will never be peaceful.
Meanwhile, on Earth, Vegeta is ready to train Trunks. He doesn't want Vegeta to hold back. Trunks wants to Vegeta to go Super Saiyan 3, but Vegeta becomes Super Saiyan Blue. Trunks is surprised that he cannot sense ki of Vegeta.
Vegeta is able to sense his hesitancy and puts a condition that if Trunks is able to land one blow, he will be declared the winner.
Trunks transform into a bulky form and Vegeta tells him that it will make him slow. But, quickly Trunks changes his form to attack Vegeta. He realises that Trunks used it to shock him. Vegetal is impressed and gives him 30 points.
Trunks still feels that in the presence of Goku and Vegeta, he doesn't need to train to become stronger as they can easily defeat Black Goku.
However, Vegeta says that as a Saiyan he should never give up and continue to train.
Towards the end of "Dragon Ball Super" episode 54, Trunks punches Vegeta and declares that he won the battle. After the match, Trunks tells Vegeta that he will surpass him and Goku.
Meanwhile, Whis is preparing dinner on Beerus' planet. A call comes on his staff and Beerus picks it. It is the Omni-King and he shocks them by revealing that he wants to meet Goku.
