The new villain of "Dragon Ball Super" known as Black Goku has started to make his presence felt in the series, as the evil counterpart of Son Goku from the future finally revealed himself to the Z fighters in the previous episode. The fans were thrilled to see the good and evil versions of Goku facing each other. They also tested the strength and capability of each other, although their confrontation was cut short as Black Goku was suddenly sucked to a portal, sending him back to the future timeline. However, the threat of Black Goku to the entire universe still lingers, and Goku and the rest of the gang must find a way to stop the evil Saiyan warrior at all cost.

As of now, there is no other way for Black Goku or the Z fighters in the present timeline to time travel. To recall from the previous episode, Black Goku already destroyed the time machine that Future Trunks used to go back in time. However, there are growing speculations in the Reddit forums (via Yibada) that there is another time machine hidden in the Capsule Corporation building. This time machine is the same one that existed during the Android Cell Saga from "Dragon Ball Z." With this working time machine, Goku and the other Z fighters will be able to transport themselves to the future and confront Black Goku.

Meanwhile, the upcoming episode 51 is titled "Feelings that Transcend Time: Trunks and Mai," which is expected to feature stories surrounding Future Trunks and Mai, who was revealed to be alive. Unfortunately for the couple, the destruction of Future Trunks' time machine would also mean that there is no way for them to see each other in the coming episodes.

Episode 52, on the other hand, is titled "Master and Pupil Reunion: Son Gohan and Future Trunks," which will show the master and student relationship between Future Trunks and the present Gohan, Attack of the Fanboy reported. In Future Trunks' timeline, Gohan was the one who taught the latter every skill and technique that he has now.
