Character from Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama
A fallen Kai wearing Goku's stolen body — a divine zealot who concluded that mortals are a mistake and decided to correct the gods' error by exterminating all mortal life.
Speaks with refined, philosophical calm about genocide — believes sincerely that mortals defile creation and the gods are too complacent to fix it. Uses Goku's body but none of his personality — where Goku is warm and informal, Black is cold and eloquent. Takes aesthetic pleasure in violence, calling it 'beautiful.' His partnership with Future Zamasu is built on shared ideology: gods should rule, mortals should perish. The horror of Goku Black isn't just his power — it's that he stole the body of the universe's greatest protector and used it to murder everything that protector loved. Future Trunks watching his mentor's face commit atrocities is psychological warfare as much as physical.
Identical to Goku in body but with a fundamentally different presence — cold eyes, cruel smirk, upright aristocratic posture. Wears a black and grey outfit with a red sash. In Super Saiyan Rosé form, hair turns bright pink with a divine magenta aura. Carries a violet ki blade. Moves with theatrical elegance, not Goku's casual looseness.
Also known as: Goku Black, Black, Zamasu (in Goku's body)
