Beerus, Whis, and Goku continue their voyage from the previous episode and they finally arrive in Universe 10. It’s here that they get cozy with the universe’s Supreme Kai, Gowasu, as well as his apprentice, Zamasu. Gowasu is the model of what a Supreme Kai should be. He’s someone who’s benevolent, fair, and kind-hearted to all individuals. On the other hand, Zamasu doesn’t share the same sensibilities as his Master.

In fact, Zamasu looks to be a fairly awful pupil and not the best applicant to be a new Supreme Kai. Zamasu holds a huge grudge against all mortals, but he’s specifically resentful towards humans due to how wasteful and negligent they are as a species. Their inherent nature of repeating humanity’s mistakes over and over is repulsive to Zamasu, whereas Gowasu waxes on about how this is just the way of a fallible species.

This also opens up a glorious discussion on what the best leadership style is in order to create success. Zamasu is anxious to just wipe out humanity and correct their mistakes for them, but Gowasu insists that a Kai and a Supreme Kai are meant to nurture and create, not destroy. More than anything else, they’re not meant to intervene with humanity in any way. This is the toughest concept for Zamasu to wrap his green head around and while he may be a strong warrior, his principles and moral compass have Gowasu beginning to worry over whether he belongs in the pantheon of Supreme Kais.

Zamasu’s bitter MO (in conjunction with the visual cues that the past few episodes have provided) makes it seem pretty obvious that he’s somehow in Goku Black’s good graces, but the team from Universe 7 still struggles to figure out how all of these dots connect. Zamasu has the same stubborn rage that Goku Black does, but they’re unsure how they can both exist at the same time. In spite of this, Beerus and Whis are able to conclude that Zamasu’s aura is nearly identical to Goku Black’s, so even though all of this might not make sense at the moment, they’re confident that they’re headed in the right direction with their suspicions.

“Uncover Black’s Identity!” also provides some helpful background information on both Zamasu and the inner workings of the Supreme Kais. Zamasu started as a regular Kai, but he started to show such promise as a fighter that he began to receive this special training from Gowasu to become a Supreme Kai. There’s also discussion on the Rings of Time as well as a little more context on how they work for the Supreme Kais. On that note, the art design on Universe 10’s Supreme Kai Planet is some impressive work. It really stands out in its minimalist nature, but the way in which it reflects this meditative, peaceful Zen lifestyle is really effective. The idea of a psychotic warrior that grows up in this environment is even more fascinating.
