Merged Zamasu > Beerus confirmed?

[Papasmurf]

From a Q&A session with Toei Animation producer Atsushi Kido:

Who’s the strongest out of all these? We asked producer, Atsushi Kido.
The God of Destruction Beerus is overwhelmingly strong, but if we leave him out, then I think the strongest fighter is Goku Black. I’d say he’s used Son Goku’s power as a base and evolved in his own, unique way.

So does this mean Merged Zamasu is unbeatable?
Even by the standards of the Dragon Ball world, I think it’s fitting to call Merged Zamasu a “cheat” character. He has unrivaled power to beat down his enemies, and the power of immortality, which nullifies all attacks. Another highlight is all the different techniques he comes up with. If he does have a weakness, I suppose it might be the fact that he was originally one person.

In order to defeat mortals, Zamasu took the body of the mortal Son Goku. Maybe this contradictory action will prove fatal to Merged Zamasu, whom Goku Black is a part of…?! In which case, it looks like Goku and company have a shot at victory!
Goku and Vegeta will become Vegetto and fight Merged Zamasu, but Trunks will get a chance to shine, too. His actions will be key to the battle. Keep your eyes peeled.

Goku Black is (obviously) still weaker than Beerus, but they seemingly treat Merged Zamasu like he's on a whole another level in this interview.

Gowasu also said Merged Zamasu was the strongest Ki he'd ever felt.

 

[Papasmurf]

Pretty much. But Super's always taken the easy way out of power complications by saying Beerus lied and was hiding more power. This might actually be conclusive.

Makes the rage boosts Veggie, Trunks and Goku got absolutely preposterous at any rate...

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

I think that confirmed it. Also Trunks role is probably similar to Kid Trunks on M10, Vegeta from CG or Mr. Satan from Boo Arc.

 

[Pyro]

I'll wait to see if they follow through with it, but I hope this is the confirmation we've been waiting for.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Not sure, still. He does say unrivalled power to beat-down his enemy, but that could just as-well be a generic way of saying he's really powerful.

Zamasu before also went out of his way avoiding Bills, but now that he's fused I don't know.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Also unless I'm missing something, isn't he also saying Bills is the highest?

EDIT: Seems like that was unrelated to Merged Zamasu.

 

[Papasmurf]

Yeah that was in reference to Goku-Black, not the merged version who's literally called a "cheat" character of sorts. Seems to imply MZ is at a level that can't be matched normally (except by Zeno or the Grand Priest it seems).

 

[Animelover5487]

Why would Zen'o and Grand Priest be excluded from the statement? I see this as Merged Zamasu being the strongest power Goku and the others have ever faced then him literally being the strongest. I won't believe Beerus is weaker unless it's explicitly stated.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Yeah, I kind-of have a hard time believing it too. It might just be for hype.

I mean they didn't with Golden Freeza, but here they just might.

 

[Papasmurf]

Yeah, knowing Super's track record of fapping Beerus it's certainly too early to say, but the fact that Beerus was included in a comparison with Goku-Black, and right afterwards the guy goes on to state that MZ is a godmodded character is at least the most solid indication that Zamasu might have surpassed him.

 

[Future Warrior]

It's still confusing though. Vegeta and Trunks thought they had killed Merged Zamasu with their Gyarikku Hō, and it's implied that his immortality was the reason he survived.

 

[Papasmurf]

I don't think it was. Might just be the smoke, but there's nothing indicating that he regenerated, and the fact that they're fusing to Vegetto to defeat him suggests that wouldn't be anywhere near enough.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Zamasu was probably not going all-out. That's the best explanation I can think of anyway.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Why would Zen'o and Grand Priest be excluded from the statement? I see this as Merged Zamasu being the strongest power Goku and the others have ever faced then him literally being the strongest. I won't believe Beerus is weaker unless it's explicitly stated.

Nobody knows what Zeno's and Grand Priests capable off.

 

[Future Warrior]

I don't think it was. Might just be the smoke, but there's nothing indicating that he regenerated, and the fact that they're fusing to Vegetto to defeat him suggests that wouldn't be anywhere near enough.

Vegeta said ''That damn Immortality'' or something like that.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

I thought he said "that damn monster" or something.

 

[Papasmurf]

Wasn't Merged Zamasu holding his hand out like he was in a blocking motion? Seems like he just defended against the attack, rather than regenerated from it.

And yeah he called him an "immortal monster." That's not something he called Future Zamasu (the monster part).

 

[Future Warrior]

Wasn't Merged Zamasu holding his hand out like he was in a blocking motion? Seems like he just defended against the attack, rather than regenerated from it.

It similar to Goku saying ''So he really is Immortal'' after kicking Zamasu to the ground without much damage.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

btw, i know this is off-thread but i wonder why they even gave piccolo a fight at the tournament when they just dropped him again immediately after-ward

hopefully they do something with him still
