Since next week's episode will reveal the identity of Goku Black, it is time for everyone to post their final predictions as to who you personally think is this mysterious harbinger of death and destruction, that wants nothing more than the annihilation of humanity alongside his partner Zamasu.

Allow me to begin with my own personal prediction, which is simple yet is the only one I can believe under the circumstances of the episodes. Personally, I believe he is Future Goku that ultimately was met in contacts with Zamasu from that timeline and corrupted into his twisted ways of humanity's meddling being a nuisance to the universe. It was established very early on that he shares Goku's sense of pride, and love of battling, with even the latter making a note about it during their first encounter, it is this very trait that can only be shared with Goku himself throughout the entire cast of characters in this series. The most recent hint was in the preview for next week's episode, where it was said "Goku Black is not a copy?!", which would eliminate the possibility that he was a creation of the Super Dragon Balls. There is literally no other explanations as to who else he could be, since every other character is either dead or was destroyed with their explanations being highlighted throughout the episodes in the Future Arc.

I could be ultimately wrong, but that's the fun in all of this at the end of the day, to make our own assumptions and discuss it with others as to our own personal thoughts to the identity of this mysterious character.

Who or what do you personally believe is Goku Black?

I'm kinda thinking the same thing, the only that makes me iffy on it actually being goku is how black talks about goku. He talks as if he's in that body but he knows a lot about goku and what the body feels... I know that's not the best way t describe it just my take on it

Future Goten.

That ... is surprisingly something I never considered and could make sense, since Goten would be around the same age as Trunks from that era, and Future Goku died right during the period that Chi-Chi was pregnant.

Plus his similarities to Goku is on par, and potentially even more in the future given that GT is no longer canon.

I still really like the idea of it being a corrupted Son Goten raised by Zamasu into his twisted ideals. It overall gives us a nice parallel to Trunks.

Yea I didn't even think about that until the dude above and you mentioned it.... it sounds pretty cool tbh, but what would corrupt him? It doesn't seem like blacks being controlled directly by anybody, so goten would of(id assume) wanted to be like this on his own?

Well, I haven't really read in depth into the theories. In fact, the only thing that led me to this conclusion is a single shot in the opening.

Trunks is there and he has his future self, I get it. The pilaf gang is there and they have future Mai, I get it, but....

Why is Goten there?

Touché, that could be a hint, although one would think if it was actually goten wouldn't he turn ssb like goku and vegeta when using god ki to go ssj instead of rose? Or hell it could just be the author having fun lol

This could be a number of things. From the fact that he is a half-breed rather than a full saiyan like Goku and Vegeta to the way he was taught how to achieve god mode to Zamasu's influence on him. Or it could just not be explained at all, which I wouldn't care much either way.

Very true, it would also honestly give goten something to actually do with the story besides being half of gotenks

its goten
The heart virus was some kind of venom like being that invaded goku and took control of his body once it had killed him. Since his body went to other world when he died the process finished there and that's why we don't hear from.anyone in other world in trunks timeline because black killed King Kai first when he took Gokus body and then he went around killing civilization until he reached earth again.

Neither should Mai be Future Trunks' age, but she is. Saying that Goten shouldn't be there while Mai is young is not really valid anymore.
There is an explanation toyotaro drew a 2-3 page manga special where the pilaf gang made the wish literally just before the andriod attack and they became babies we know trunks was also a baby at this time because he's seen with bulma and gohan who are looking for the dragon (to wish goku back? Or because they saw shenron summoned?)
