As we all know, there are a total of four confirmed timelines... three of each were shown in story.

Timeline 1 (Cell's Timeline): Goku kills Freeza and King Cold but dies from a heart virus by the following 3 years. Afterwards, the androids invade and kill all the Z-Warriors aside from Gohan. Years later Trunks becomes old enough to train with Gohan and after multiple lost battles Gohan is killed by the androids. Trunks somehow manages to find a way to deactivate the androids but when he attempts to go back into the past Cell kills him and goes back into Timeline 3 about a year prior to Freeza invading Earth. This is also the Cell we are all familiar with.

Timeline 2 (Trunks' Timeline): Same as T1 except Trunks actually manages to find the strength to defeat the androids and Cell. This is also the Trunks we're familiar with throughout the Android/Cell Saga and most likely the current arc in Super.

Timeline 3 (Main Timeline): This is the timeline where the story takes place for the most parts. Trunks kills Freeza and King Cold in place of Goku leading to several major changes to the turns of events such as Goku's heart virus occurring after the 3 years, the androids being much stronger, #16's existence, etc. The Cell of this timeline was also killed before even being born with T1 Cell being killed by Gohan and the rest is history.

Timeline 4 (Unseen Timeline): This timeline was never shown or mentioned in the main story but it exists. It is possible it's basically the same as T3 only Zamasu actually makes good on his word of killing the 'dirty ningens' and steals Goku's body.


What do y'all think? Is Goku Black from T4 or what?

Doesn't seem that way. Toei and Toriyama seemingly forgot all about the most irrelevant timeline and kind of insinuate that main timeline Zamasu and Black are one and the same.

But in the fourth timeline, the androids were supposedly killed by the remote control, so the Z fighters probably didn't train in the Rosat and didn't get that strong. So how could Goku defeat Zamasu? Unless he magically obtained a tremendous power boost.

We don't know how exactly the Androids were defeated in that timeline. There's a chance they used the rosat. For what it's worth,
in the DBZ anime scene, Trunks did not go SSJ when Cell killed him and stole the time machine, so, maybe he had trained in
rosat but underestimated Cell.

We know that the alternate Trunks who got killed wasn't very powerful because Cell thought Trunks was a lightweight compared to Piccolo, saying outright that Piccolo was the only one who has a chance against the androids. Odds are, timeline 4 fighters at least didn't grow to be very powerful during the Cell/Androids arc itself.

I just thought of something:

The main timeline may not be Timeline 3.... maybe the main timeline IS the fourth unseen timeline!
