"Dragon Ball Super" episodes 52 and 53 are said to be featuring Future Trunks who will meet Gohan and convince him to fight Goku Black. Gohan was the one who trained Trunks in the world of the future.

Episode 52 is titled "Master And Pupil Reunion: Son Gohan and 'Future' Trunks" and it is said to be a big surprise for Future Trunks to see his master this way. He is just different-looking compared to when he was teaching him. Movie News Guide mentioned that the upcoming episode may reveal the most awaited fight between Gohan and Goku Black.

Fans are speculating that Future Trunks will be able to convince Goku to see the devastation done by Goku Black. It is also said that Goku will be encouraged to end the existence of Goku Black. The fight will continue on until the next episode.

Episode 53 is titled "Expose Black's True Identity" and it is believed that fans will witness the end of Goku Black here. It is also believed that Gohan will be freeing himself from his self-imposed restriction, which is not to fight. Fans believe that he is already the strongest Super Saiyan and could possibly be more powerful than Goku. Thus, no one can defeat Goku Black except him, Yibada reported.

Fans are also speculating that the true identity of Goku Black will also be revealed in this episode. Theories with regards to the identity point to Goten, God King Zamasu and an evil Kaioshin.

The source of Goku Black's powers is also said to be revealed to the fans.

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 52 will aired on July 17 while episode 53 will air on July 31. Both episodes will air on Fuji TV at 9:00 a.m., Japan Time.
