When "Dragon Ball Super" continues the action in episode 60, fans will finally uncover the mystery that had them thinking since the "Future Trunks" arc began — Goku Black's identity.

Toei Animation has teased the revelation before, but they did not actually deliver. However, episode 60 titled "Back to the Future: Goku Black's Identity Revealed" is expected to finally drop the bombshell.

There are tons of speculations as to who Goku Black is, but the "Dragon Ball Super" episode 60 revealed that the villain is not a clone of Son Goku. This suggests that he is someone else.

One of the theories is that he is Future Goten from Future Trunk's timeline simply because he has not appeared nor was he mentioned ever since the Future Trunks arc in "Dragon Ball Super" began.

There are also speculations that Goku Black is Zamasu himself who was wished back to life by Future Zamasu through the Super Dragon Balls after being killed by Beerus from the present timeline.

His body was destroyed when the God of Destruction killed him so Future Zamasu may have had to find a new body and chose Goku's dead body from the Future Trunks timeline.

However, "Dragon Ball Super" episode 59, fans can remember Goku Black said that he only wants to be stronger instead of being immortal like Future Zamasu.

Another theory says that if it is all about power and becoming stronger only, Goku Black might as well be Gowasu, who wants to stay in a heavily built body.

The Supreme Kai also looked like he wanted to be Goku after watching him fight. He also knew of Zamasu's plan, but he also seems to be excited about it instead of becoming worried.

It is a tough challenge to figure out who Goku Black really is. However, fans are finally closer to uncovering his secret.

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 60 "Back to the Future: Goku Black's Identity Revealed" is scheduled to air on Sunday, Oct. 2, on Fuji TV.
