Hello and welcome back all my Dragon Ball theorist, we have explored the god hierarchy
in depth recently in several videos and today, I wanted to tie them all together into an
idea that many of us fans believe and one that has been explored in
fan fiction anime's.
First we are going to explore a few ideas from episode 12 of Anime War - Hands of God
by MaSTAR Media.
So if you haven't seen it yet, spoilers ahead!
I don't want to ruin that experience for anyone.
The reason why I wanted to talk about it today is I feel the story of this episode was beautifully
done and I agree with several of the concepts that MaSTAR
incorporated which go along with several of my ideas I have been piecing together in my
videos.
Even if you haven't watched the entire Anime War series I feel you can jump right into
this episode and see something we all wanted to see.
Zeno's guards fight which hasn't really been explored by other animators but more importantly
the concept behind them.
It was a brilliantly animated episode with stunning
abilities and fight scenes, so my hats off to his entire team that worked on the project.
Now though we will go into where I agree and disagree on some facets as I explore the god
hierarchy from my own angle for everyone.
So lets get started.
Anime War - Hands of God kicks off with a recap to Whis making a sacrifice to save Beerus
from an attack that would of killed him.
Whis knew that by making this sacrifice, by having an Angel die gods will
intervene in the actions of other gods.
That it would summon Zeno to step in and save everyone.
Which is an idea and concept I agree with and covered in my video "When the Grand Priest
decides to fight" One question we ask ourselves is how did Zamasu
run rampant in trunks future time-line.
How was he able to successfully kill all the gods.
Zamasu basically used his ability to go to every Supreme Kai's
home-world assassinating them which then killed their gods of destruction through the life
link.
As we know and many people get really confused over this next fact, so I will try to explain
it in full detail.
When a god of destruction dies their servant or Angel if you will, vanishes and returns
to the great beyond.
This was explained in Manga Chapter 21 when Goku asks Whis what the future you would be
up too, it's not like you died with Beerus right?
This is where Whis explains how the god hierarchy works.
When the deity an Angel serves dies, his function is suspended until a new god appears.
Goku says guess we really have no allies in the future.
This is important in many facets because when Zeno goes to erase the entire multiverse(
this is confirmed the entire time-line was destroyed )to kill Universal Zamasu all the
gods and Angels are already gone.
Zeno didn't erase them.
Yes I know at the tournament the Angels didn't disappear but they are absolved from being
erased and were allowed to continue to watch the outcome of the Universal tournament conflict.
It's just a special situation that the gods set up and because of this their presence
was allowed to continue.
Make no mistake, if Beerus dies then Whis will disappear just like it transpired in
the future trunks arc.
Except the real question is why didn't the Grand Priest get involved and stop Zamasu
then?
Why did he allow him to gather the Super Dragon Balls and assassinate all the gods?
Why didn't he alert Zeno that Zamasu has gone down a dark path to eliminate
all the mortals?
Simple answer is that isn't his job.
The Grand Priest is there to serve Zeno, he is one of the top battle powers in the multiverse
and the only way you would get the Daishinkan to fight.
Is if you made a direct attack on Zeno's palace or another Angel.
It's likely that the Grand Priest might not even fight unless he is directly ordered
by Zeno himself.
That is his function as the servant to the multiverse.
So in Anime War Whis sacrifice makes a lot of sense.
The only reason the Grand Priest didn't show up is because he was tasked with
the job of holding the multiverse together from the battle of the gods tearing it apart.
As much as fans want to see the Grand Priest fight it's a scenario that will only happen
under a few unique conditions but I really enjoyed how MaSTAR told this
aspect of it and besides he gave us something we all really wanted to see which is what
the Hands of god can do.
The true purpose of Zeno's guards!
The fight scenes between the Omni guards and Archon were mind-blowing and what you would
expect from someone of their position.
It logically makes sense if there are 5 top battle powers that these guys would
be 2 of them.
I think as fans we all want to see something more from Zeno or this supreme being than
what we get which is someone who can just erase everything and doesn't fight.
So I really enjoyed the idea of when pushed to the extreme and his
guards aren't enough to handle the task, that Zeno absorbed them to achieve this true form.
That they are indeed extensions of god.
Which gave us a transformation that I think we all could fall in love with,
and is fitting from the ruler of the Multiverse.
A being of pure energy!
So what do you all think Zeno's guards purpose are?
Could they really be the source of Zeno's true form and possess all of his battle power?
Obviously it's a great idea that I can go along with since in the
Anime we have seen very little of what the guards can actually do and wonder why Zeno
even needs them to begin with.
It's not like he actually needs protection, unless it's from someone like Archon
with Supreme battle power that is immune to being erased.
In my Zeno's guards mystery solved video I explore how they have a specific function
just like anyone else in the god hierarchy.
This is why when we have 2 Zeno's we now end up with 4 guards.
If they weren't important why bring in new guards for future Zeno to the time-line?
Unless there is some specific function that they serve and actually are
the hands of god.
We see additional guards in a few different scenes in the anime.
Whether or not you believe they are the battle power of Zeno, I believe just like a god of
destruction has a purpose and is a mortal having destruction energy bestowed
to them.
These beings come from a divine place and have this Omni energy granted to them and
act as the final defense line to Zeno.
Which fits nicely into the story and why additional guards appeared in
the anime.
They literally are the hands of god.
Now as for something we all speculate on, is there a true One Above All?
Many of us agree that there is something beyond Zeno.
Some divine being that is Omnipotent and oversees all.
First I will say I absolutely love the design choice of Zeno's
final form, a being of pure energy.
However I disagree with MaSTAR here and anyone that believes that Zeno is the creator of
everything.
Just like everyone else in the god hierarchy I believe Zeno fills
a position that is bestowed to him.
There isn't much reason to believe that Zeno created anything or the multiverse.
I mean if he is the creator of everything then why not just create a new time-line after
he destroyed Zamasu.
Also having 2 Zeno's doesn't sit well with us, meaning that for an all powerful god,
he should be above time and omnipresent.
He also isn't omniscient either and relies on the Grand
Priest to observe the multiverse.
Here is where I'd like to talk about the 2 most impressive beings in all of Dragon Ball.
Ones that don't get nearly enough credit and perhaps that is because not much is known
about them but their feats of strength to me are just as impressive if not
more in some regards than Zeno himself!
Zalama the creator of the Omnipotent Dragon Balls and Zuno the Omniscient one.
As we know one of the first things ever created on the King's calendar by Zalama are
the Super Dragon Balls.
They can grant any wish and even reverse the incredible erasing ability of Zeno.
If Zalama can create something that can grant any wish at
the beginning of time are these the only things he created?
Or is he the creation god responsible for all life starting in the multiverse.
One idea that has been brought up in the comments of my Zuno the Omniscient one video and goes
a long with Zeno having an extension of himself.
Is that perhaps the reason Zeno is child like is because his
Omniscience was granted to Zuno.
The difference between Zeno and Zuno is one letter and the best meaning of Zuno's name
I have heard is "Sword of God" So is it possible that Zuno and Zeno actually share a
divine relationship with each other?
The fact that Zuno knows everything that has ever happened in the multiverse is an impressive
feat to say the least.
If something happens in any Universe regardless of
how small it is, Zuno knows about it.
The one weakness though is obviously lack of power to defend himself.
That could of been bestowed to Zeno.
So if Zeno is power and Zuno is knowledge then we
only have 1 being left to make up this Holy trinity of the gods.
Zalama the creator of all.
I don't want to get into what came first the chicken or the egg discussion but in time
immemorial when the god hierarchy was being set up.
Zalama the omnipotent creator could be responsible for creating the
multiverse, the angels and even Zeno and Zuno.
They are part of Zalama and all possess facets of his Omnipotent power.
He is the true source of everything and his creation energy brought forth these divine
beings of immense power to govern the multiverse he created.
Zeno who signifies destruction power and can erase everything, Zuno who signifies intelligence
and knows everything.
Then as a final gift to the multiverse he funneled his creation power
to give birth to the Super Dragon Balls that can grant any wish.
Maybe as a fail safe to the system in case we need to reverse Zeno's erasing or anything
like that.
Perhaps there isn't an actual One Above All anymore and they were all divided into the
respective godly beings that serve a purpose in the multiverse.
Maybe if all three of these powers united again
it would give us something like we saw in the last Anime War.
A being that has been split up into different parts that can absorb them all and attain
the true form of god.
A trinity of power that makes up The One Above All in the Dragon Ball Universe.
Well that is my concept of these divine beings and hands of god if you will.
I hope everyone has a great week and if you are looking for a deeper discussion on the
characters I mentioned in this video like Zuno and Zalama or the god hierarchy
you can find that in my deep information and stories play list.
