A Supreme Kai-in-training from Universe 10 named Zamasu takes it upon himself to purge mortals in his misguided effort to protect the multiverse. As part of this plan, he uses the Super Dragon Balls to switch bodies with Goku, using the Saiyan hero's immense power, combined with his own godly abilities, to carry out the genocide of all mortals as the dark savior, "Goku Black".
In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Goku Black possesses a similar fighting style to that of the original Goku, albeit with a larger emphasis on long-ranged attacks and mixups. He can enlist the aid of Future Zamasu to pin opponents down with a unique variant of his Kamehameha.
