The fourth volume of Dragon Ball Super on home video wraps up one saga, has some "filler" material (though there is not an original manga from which the story is drawing, so the "filler" classification is a bit questionable), and the beginning of the next major arc all in one set. Show EPISODES After the tournament concludes, there are a handful of interstitial episodes, including a mini-arc that is mediocre at best, though dub fans will probably enjoy it for reasons I'll discuss below. Finally, the back half of this set gets into the next major story arc, the Future Trunks arc. The Future Trunks arc will run through the entirety of Part Five and into Part Six. Trunks returns to the past from his own time, seeking to enlist the aid of Goku and Vegeta to deal with Goku Black, a new threat that is killing all life in his own timeline. We get mostly introductory episodes in this set, and one fairly cool fight, but Part Four sets up a good mystery with respect to Goku Black's identity. All in all, this is a mixed bag. Episode 39 is pretty good, the content in the middle is passable, and the Future Trunks arc is a (somewhat divisive) fan favorite. For those who are only keeping up with Super on home video releases, the Future Trunks arc is the closest Dragon Ball Super gets to a Dragon Ball Z-era arc. It has a lot more action and higher stakes than the arcs before it, and the action really ramps up later in its run. SUB/DUB and AUDIO QUALITY Goku Black is played by Sean Schemmel, though he is written entirely differently from Goku. Schemmel's line delivery as Black is top-notch. The other major new characters introduced in this arc are Gowasu and Zamasu, the Supreme Kai of the Tenth Universe and a Supreme Kai in training, respectively. Zamasu is played by James Marsters, who played Piccolo in the live action Dragon Ball Evolution movie that was critically and commercially panned. Marsters' Zamasu is very good, thankfully, and he only gets better as the arc progresses. The audio mix is excellent as usual--the voices are mostly centered in a 5.1 setup, with the music primarily in the front left and right speakers and the echo effects in the rear.
