Goku Black made a big entrance in Dragon Ball Super as a mysterious villain.
Fans were curious about him because he was trying to harm Future Trunks and humanity.
Later, it was revealed that he was Zamasu from another timeline who had taken over Goku’s body to cause trouble.
Why Did Goku Black Become a Villain?
Goku Black’s story revolves around Zamasu, a powerful apprentice who hated humans. He believed they were ruining the world the gods gave them.
When he learned about Goku, Zamasu used magical Dragon Balls to switch bodies with him, creating Goku Black.
The more evil deeds Zamasu did in Goku’s body, the crazier he became, eventually turning into a villain determined to wipe out humanity.”
An interesting thing about Goku Black was that, even though he was Zamasu inside, being in Goku’s body made him start acting like a Saiyan.
He got really into fighting and proving how strong he was, which was different from the Zamasu who stayed in his own body and just wanted to live forever.
Goku Black‘s first appearance is one of the best introduction scene ever in DragonBall.

What Makes Zamasu a Different Kind of Bad Guy?
Zamasu is a different kind of villain in the Dragon Ball world. Most bad guys in the series just want to cause trouble and fight, but Zamasu had deeper reasons.
He really believed humans were bad news and needed to be stopped. This made the fights against him not just about who’s stronger, but about his beliefs versus the heroes’.
Goku Black vs. Future Trunks
Having Goku Black and Zamasu fight against Future Trunks was a cool choice.
Future Trunks is all about helping others and doing the right thing, so fighting against a god who gave up on humans made for an interesting story.
It wasn’t just a regular fight, it was about their different views on the world.

Wrapping Up
Goku Black became the villain in Dragon Ball Super because Zamasu, in his body, saw all the mistakes humans kept making.
Zamasu thought humans were wasting the beautiful world they were given, leading him down a path where he ended up causing a lot of harm.
This story shows what can happen when someone with a lot of power decides he knows what’s best for everyone.
