About
This Man Isn't Black refers to a scene from the english dub of Dragon Ball Super in which a soldier is about to fire at Goku, mistaking him for the series' antagonist Goku Black, before he's stopped by Future Trunks who exclaims, "Hold your fire! This man isn't Black!" Fans joked about the scene because out of context it sounds as though Future Trunks is telling the soldier not to fire because Goku is not of the black race.
