Gohan Black

Gohan Black ( 悟飯ブラック Gohan Burakku ) also known as Zamasu (ザマス Zamasu) though usually referred to as Black is the alternate incarnation of Zamasu and Gohan. Allies: Zamasu

This Gohan is technically Gohan’s appearance except with a more slimmy and slightly darker skin tone as well as a single Potara Earring on his right ear.

He is also equipped with clothing exactly identical to Goku Black’s which is a dark-tight long sleeved shirt with an extended collar that covers about 45% - 50% of Gohan Black’s neck, black baggy pants, gray vest tightened with a large red belt which is not exactly a belt but more like a sash, and finally, extremely long white boots that seems to almost reach Gohan Black’s knees. Hair color: Black Hair style: he has short, spiky hair, combed upwards, with a lock of hair falling on his forehead. Eye color: Black Height: 176 cm (5'9") "adult" Weight: 61 kg (134 lbs) "adult" Physique: he maintains a great muscular, marked and toned physique. He is handsome and attractive

Gohan Black shares the same personality as Goku Black since they are technically the same person in case of Zamasu. However, Zamasu, before establishing his plans, was a humble and and calm individual who would always listen to his teacher’s words. Though, he long harbored an utter hatred for mortals, perceiving them as a blasphemy and the gods' greatest mistake. He also came to hate the gods as well for not doing anything about their "mistake". After giving in to his desires, Zamasu mercilessly killed his former master as his first step down a dark path. Despite his cruel, aggressive, and certainly unsympathetic actions, even to his own kind, Zamasu feels perfectly vindicated, truly seeing no evil in his actions, after he scoured several timelines as proof that mortals are a corruption of existence as a whole that prevents it from becoming a true paradise.

Gohan Black was created from when Present Zamasu from the “Unaltered Timeline” which Trunks returning to the past from Timeline 2, and Cell from Timeline 3 becoming "Perfect Cell" never occurred, wished with the Super Dragon Balls to switch bodies with Gohan due to him inspecting the battle with Goku and Gohan in Dragon Ball Super as well as being aware of Old Kai’s Potential Unlock ability that he bestowed upon Gohan.

Present Zamasu notices Gohan’s fearful potential and years later, finally makes a wish to switch bodies with Gohan with the switched Present Zamasu from that timeline being immediately killed.

As Gohan having the Potential Unleashed ability and in Dragon Ball Super where its shown that Ultimate Gohan rivals Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken Goku or higher, Gohan Black far surpasses Goku Black in the anime.

In Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, Gohan Black's power totally outclasses Future Trunks. Like Goku Black to Super Saiyan 2 Goku, Gohan Black is comparable to that of Super Saiyan 2 Gohan. When both use the Ultimate form, they appear relatively even in strength.

Gohan’s Body After the wish with Super Shenron, Zamasu attains Goku’s body.

Techniques Flight - The ability to take flight through the manipulation of ki. Ki Blast - The most basic form of energy attack. Black is shown to use ki blasts while terrorizing Future Trunks' timeline. Ki Sense - The ability to sense ki and power levels. Continuous Energy Bullet - Black used this technique against Trunks. Black Power Ball - Black can create a golden colored Energy Ball with a core of black energy to attack the opponent. Once he fires it, the attack becomes completely golden with a black outline. Divine Retribution - A more powerful version of the Black Power Ball in Gohan Black's Potential Unleashed Super Saiyan Rosé state, he can either fire off the ki blast, or attack with a downward slash with his ki blade as a melee attack. Black Kamehameha - Black is shown to be able to use a black-colored version of the Kamehameha. Super Black Kamehameha - A stronger version of the Black Kamehameha used by Gohan Black in his Potential Unleashed Super Saiyan Rosé form. Binding Black Kamehameha - Future Zamasu restrains the opponent to prevent them from escaping, allowing Black to hit them with the Super Black Kamehameha (Future Zamasu's immortality leaves him unharmed). God Split Cut - Zamasu's signature attack, used by Zamasu after obtaining Gohan's body and becoming Gohan Black to kill the Gohan's family. Violent Fierce God Slicer - After further refining his power, Black is able to use an enhanced version of the technique, he emits a blade of violet energy from his hand to slash and stab his opponent. It seems to be enhanced by the form's ki aura. In the manga, Black used this technique in his base form to mortally wound his former master, Gowasu.

Sickle of Sorrow - A more powerful version of the Violent Fierce God Slicer technique, attained by Gohan Black after he turned his anger into power in the anime. It became capable of opening a large rift in the universe to an unknown place or time which would release an evil energy. The Work of the Gods - The rift created by Gohan Black using the Sickle of Sorrow. Mass Replication - From the energy of the rift, Black is able to form many clones of himself known as Shadows.[17] The Shadows are unstable and if they were hit, they would disperse, but can immediately reform themselves after. They appear to have the same physical might as Black himself. The Shadows and the rift dissipate once Black goes too far away. God Binding Light Bullet - Gohan Black throws his opponent around using energy and then goes to finish them off with an energy sphere.

In "The Strongest Warrior", an alternate "Future" Trunks Saga scenario from Gohan's Saga in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, Zamasu opts to take Gohan's body over Goku's, resulting in him becoming Gohan Black (ゴハンブラック, Gohan Burakku).

Having wished to switch bodies with Gohan, he acquired the latter's appearance, though with a slightly darker skin tone and more "defined" eyes, along with a somewhat leaner physique. After his wish to switch bodies with the hybrid Saiyan was granted, he began wearing a grey dogi, a long-sleeved black undershirt with a turtleneck, a red sash, black pants and pointy white boots. He used to wear orange Potara earrings before stealing Gowasu's green Potara, giving the right earring to his future counterpart while still wearing the other earring on his left ear.

Having stolen Gohan's body, Gohan Black gained access to the form, allowing him to fight on-par with Gohan in the same form. Just like Gohan, Gohan Black's appearance does not particularly change, though his aura is distinctly different, sporting a bright pink and black color.

"In the past, you have drawn on your innermost strength, separate from your Saiyan power...Well, I, too, can draw on my innermost strength...as a god!"

In this state, Gohan Black's normally black hair turns gray, and lengthens considerably, bearing resemblance to Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 state as a child, with a single fringe in the front of his face. His eyes, normally black as well, turn crimson with black pupils. (he has adapted Gohan's new beast form)

Instead of observing Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken Goku in the Tournament of Destroyers through GodTube, Zamasu caught sight of Ultimate Gohan, who fought against Hit in Goku's stead. Intrigued by the former's power, Zamasu decided to use Gohan as an integral step in Project Zero Mortals. Zamasu killed his master, Gowasu, and stole both his Potara and the Time Ring, allowing him to become a Supreme Kai. With the help of the Time Ring, he was able to gather the Super Dragon Balls, wishing to switch bodies with Gohan in order to gain access to his strength. Killing Gohan and his family, Zamasu took the name of Gohan for himself. In order to avoid scrutiny from the Gods of Destruction, Zamasu searched through parallel realities to find one without a Destroyer, discovering one in Future Trunks' reality. Zamasu recruited the version of himself from this timeline, whom they wished immortal with the Super Dragon Balls. Then, they assassinated the Supreme Kais (and by proxy the Destroyers) of that multiverse, and began rampaging on Earth, proclaiming their actions were in the name of justice. Having changed his outfit, but bearing the appearance of Gohan, Zamasu became known to Future Trunks and Earth's Resistance as Gohan Black.

In "The Strongest Warrior" portion of Gohan's saga, Gohan Black terrorizes Future Trunks and his timeline to the point where Future Trunks is forced to flee to the present timeline, seeking help from his allies. Unexpectedly, Gohan Black's Time Ring creates a tear in space-time, pulling Black into the same present timeline. Upon his arrival to West City, he is confronted by Future Trunks and Gohan, the latter of whom is shocked to see that Black's appearance matches his exactly, though Future Trunks warns Gohan that Black the similarities end there. Gohan Black introduces himself to Gohan, expressing his interest in fighting the hybrid warrior with his own body before charging him and Future Trunks. Each time Black takes a hit, he only gloats that the pain will make him stronger in the end. In the midst of their battle, another space-time distortion appears, dragging Black back into the future timeline. When Future Trunks, Gohan, Goku and Vegeta return to the future timeline, they are confronted by both Gohan Black and Future Zamasu. The latter's immortal body proves to be too much of a roadblock, and despite Future Trunks transforming into Super Saiyan Rage, the others are forced to flee to the past to come up with a battle plan while Future Trunks occupies Gohan Black and Future Zamasu. Eventually, Gohan and the others return, with Gohan fighting Gohan Black one-on-one. Black reveals his access to Ultimate and the knowledge of the ritual Old Kai used to give Gohan the same form, ridiculing Gohan for trying to reach divinity as a Saiyan and for flaunting his power during the Tournament of Destroyers. In addition, he reveals how he cast off his identity as Zamasu using the Super Dragon Balls. As the fighting continues, Gohan Black and Future Zamasu end up merging into Fused Zamasu, but the fusion is ultimately defeated and sealed by Gohan and the other Saiyans, saving Future Trunks' world.

Goku Black appears in multiple scenarios in Sparking! Zero, including his own set of events in Goku Black's Saga.
