Overview of Dragon Ball Daima’s Multiverse Revelation
- The introduction of the Demon Realm in Dragon Ball Daima redefines the origins of the multiverse.
- Key characters, including the Supreme Demon King and Majin Rymus, significantly alter the narrative surrounding the multiverse’s creation.
- While the new information does not contradict existing lore, it enriches the possibilities for future storytelling in the franchise.
The expansion of the Dragon Ball universe has been one of the most praised aspects of Dragon Ball Super. This series introduced fans to new concepts like the Gods of Destruction and Angels, with characters such as Beerus and Whis, highlighting the existence of a multiverse consisting of twelve universes. Each of these universes is governed by its own God of Destruction, accompanied by an Angel attendant responsible for guidance.
However, significant new developments emerged in Dragon Ball Daima, particularly revealed in episode 10, which shed light on previously unknown aspects of the multiverse’s creation. The episode teases the existence of incredibly ancient and powerful beings, prompting us to reassess our understanding of the Dragon Ball multiverse. Let’s explore these recent changes and how they contrast with earlier beliefs held by fans.
Previous Understanding of the Multiverse
Concept of the Multiverse Before Daima
The multiverse concept was initially presented in Dragon Ball Super, giving little historical context about its origins. Originally, there were twelve separate universes, each overseen by its own Supreme Kai and God of Destruction. These universes were grouped into pairs as well, making for a total count of 13 pairs.
The Grand Zeno, known as the Omni-King, reigns supreme over the multiverse with unparalleled destructive capabilities, capable of erasing entire realities effortlessly. Despite this overwhelming power, Zeno possesses a childlike demeanor, which perhaps allows him to cultivate friendships, such as with Goku. This unique characterization rings true even as Zeno remains indifferent to existence, emphasizing the vastness of his authority.
Historically, the multiverse began with 18 universes. However, Zeno eliminated five of them out of frustration over maintaining order among so many worlds, particularly those with low Mortal Levels. Rather than destroying the remaining universes outright, he opted for the Tournament of Power, allowing each universe a chance for survival.
Transformations Introduced in Daima
New Insights into the Multiverse’s History
One of the most impactful revelations in Dragon Ball Daima is the introduction of the Demon Realm, which is described as ancient—predating the entire multiverse itself. This captivating detail positions the Demon Realm as the primary source of everything that came to be afterward.
A pivotal figure from this era is the ‘good’ Supreme Demon King, a benevolent ruler whose name remains a mystery. He played a crucial role in expanding the borders of the Demon Realm by creating Majin Rymus, a being endowed with the power to craft the multiverse and oversee it.
Majin Rymus’s creation of the multiverse allowed many inhabitants of the Demon Realm, including the Namekians, to venture into Universes 6 and 7. Furthermore, Rymus selected individuals from the Glind race to become the Supreme Kais, responsible for overseeing mortal affairs. However, after the benevolent Supreme Demon King’s reign, his successor restricted access between the Demon Realm and the emerging universes.
This fresh narrative does not undermine existing lore; rather, it lays a stronger foundation for potential future stories in the Dragon Ball universe. Speculations abound regarding Rymus’s similarities to Zeno, leading to theories that propose him as the ultimate ‘Kai’ figure, with Zeno as the God of Destruction and the Grand Priest as the Angel attendant. Alternatively, some fans speculate that Zeno might be an impostor, are posing as the ultimate authority. As the lore continues to deepen, the narrative potential for Dragon Ball expands significantly.
