Hello and welcome back all my Dragon Ball Theorist, I just had a nice little vacation
to start the New Year and prepare for the awesome 2020 that lies ahead.
Who knows what we have in store, will it be the
announcement of the Anime or more info on the Movie?
One thing is for sure.
We have an Awesome Epic Arc to continue covering in the Dragon Ball Super Manga and with a
new chapter coming out on the 20th, lets pick up where we left off, with a video
discussing the trouble maker Merus.
These aren't my words but The Grand Priest and he gave Whis a word of caution before
he departed from Zeno's palace.
To keep a close eye on that one.
So what history is in Merus past that gives him this description?
Where are Whis and Merus going to go if they aren't heading back to Zeno's palace and what
conversation will they have?
Lets explore this trouble maker Merus and see what lies ahead for this Angel in the
upcoming chapter of the Dragon Ball Super Manga!
On the very first panel we found out that Merus is in training so the Grand Priest felt
it was best to dispatch him to Universe 7, to learn the way of things and broaden his
perspective.
I think that last part makes more sense after we now know that
he has been labeled a troublemaker.
Which means Merus seems to be relatively set in his ways and ideals and broadening his
perspective was a way to break him of his bad habits.
The Grand Priest felt the Galactic Patrol was a decent choice, as it would allow him
to observe the side of good and virtue but, alas...
Merus seems to fall back on his old ways and getting
personally attached, by choosing sides.
Merus acts on his feelings and this is something that is strictly forbidden for any Angel to
do.
The Angels must always act impartially, to be neutral!
Beyond that single law, there are no restrictions on what Angels can or cannot do.
Fortunately the Daishinkan has been keeping a close eye on the
situation to make sure that Merus didn't break this law.
As Whis latter explains to Goku that any Angel who break our code are eradicated, without
a trace!
A stunned Goku questions that he thought that Angels couldn't die!
Which we learn that this is the "ONLY" means by which an Angel can be removed from existence
and this is the truth of the nature of the Angel life form.
One thing to note that is important, is the specific language used by Whis saying eradicated
and not erased!
Toyotaro wanted to make sure we didn't confuse what we already know, that Zeno has never
erased any of the Angels.
That statement long ago when the Angels were spared that fate in the tournament of power
now makes sense, the Angels are simply above it!
They come from a completely different dimension of existence, the Angel realm.
A realm that they must always return too if anything happens to the physical universe.
Zeno is the Omni-King the God of Gods but his actual powers don't govern over beings
that don't come from the physical realm.
Only the Daishinkan himself is the judge and jury over what is acceptable for
the Angels.
We know this to be true as when the Zeno's were planning to destroy the Universes with
the lowest mortal level before Goku arrived.
The Grand Priest knowing that the Universes were about to
meet this terrible fate, was going to withdraw all the guides back to the Angel realm.
Many always asked what happened to the erased Angels of the previous Universes and the answer
is they were never erased and just returned back to their home-world.
The "ONLY" time an Angel can die is as Whis tells us, when they break their code and then
they are eradicated!
So I imagine if Whis didn't interfere or if Merus helped Goku against Moro, then the Grand
Priest himself would of destroyed him.
That is why the word eradicated was specifically used as we know Angels
are never erased.
They can only be removed from existence if they break the code.
I did a video awhile back on what Zeno can't erase and as the series goes on, we continue
to find out more information that confirms that video to be true.
I think this information is easily missed as I read the comments and get these type
of questions pretty often.
Now where do we go from here?
Whis tells Merus be grateful that I'm not dragging you right back to the Grand Priest!
Now Whis has taken responsibility for Merus and he is under his supervision but where
exactly are they off too as the chapter ends?
It's not Zeno's palace.
Is Whis going to show up on Beerus planet startling him with an unknown Angel at his
side making Beerus question what the heck has he
been up too lately?
Are they all going to sit there and watch this final battle on Earth unfold through
their staff?
Or is Beerus going to demand to take him to Earth?
Definitely a lot of different directions they could take this and I know there are a lot
of fans hoping that Beerus does something significant in the series.
I love the Beerus character but feel he has been sidelined now through much of the series
and even the Broly movie.
Whis has taken his role and Beerus only appears because of their connection.
So it would be nice for this God of Destruction to
step up and take full control of what is transpiring in his Universe!
I do have a story coming up that will give us fans a fun Beerus interaction and I think
this Arc is going to have a rather unique open ending to segue into the next.
One other possibility where Whis is off too and is a likely scenario is that Whis is going
directly to the Angel realm.
Which would be exciting for us to see this Angel Home-world for the very first
time.
This would show us just how many Angels there are and maybe a glimpse into their origins
or how they are born.
So it might be possible that Whis has some big brother advice for Merus who has lost
his path coming up in the next chapter.
Where he can advise him on how to become a great guide some day for a god of Destruction.
This battle might fully rest on Goku, Vegeta and Earth's heroes
stopping Moro.
One thing is for sure is that Whis isn't going to let Merus interfere.
I feel like there is this scenario being set up similar to Star Wars where Luke had to
watch his friends fight without him, being tempted by the Darkside to use his anger and
lash out to defend them.
When Whis and Merus are watching this battle on
Earth unfold, if Moro gets the upper hand and it looks like they can't win and are defeated.
Merus will have his emotions swell up inside of him.
He will feel compelled to help the mortals of Earth!
Watching the mortals that he has grown close to suffer and die, will be unbearable for
him!
Merus knows he must break the Angel Code, he knows he must escape
Whis supervision even if it means being eradicated.
What Merus doesn't realize is that this is likely a final lesson being taught by his
father, the Grand Priest!
A test to see if Merus learned anything in Universe 7 and actually broadened his perspective
or if he will revert back to his old ways of being this trouble maker for the Angels.
This is why the Daishinkan told Whis to keep a close eye on that one.
Troublemaker or not he doesn't want to lose an Angel.
So while Whis and Merus watch Earth fight against Moro and his Army, the Grand Priest
watches to see how Merus will react while with Whis in the Angel realm.
To see if he can maintain his neutrality and obey the Angel code.
Whis is in a difficult situation because if Merus is able to tap his staff and escape
his supervision to assist Goku and Vegeta in their fight against Moro.
Then this would mean he is responsible for an Angels death since he will be eradicated.
I don't think Whis wants that on his plate, since he already is deeply ashamed for his
Universe being in the restless state that it is.
However I feel the darker version of myself wanting to see the Grand
Priest have to use his power and destroy an Angel, that would be pretty epic.
Tragic of course but I want to see the Daishinkan flex on someone!
I don't think this will happen though and I believe Whis with his intuition will see
Merus strong emotions taking him over.
That this is where he will show Merus that there is always a way to maintain
neutrality and be a great guide for your god of destruction.
That it is up to the gods to be the force used in keeping balance in the Universe.
This is where Whis then will take Merus to meet Beerus,
and let Beerus know that the fate of Earth is in jeopardy.
Beerus will scream at Whis because he hasn't been keeping him informed of what is going
on!!
Which is where Whis will say I have given you
every opportunity to be involved in the balance of the Universe but you wanted to fish and
sleep.
So I didn't tell you specifically of Goku and Vegeta or Earth's possible fate because
you seemed content on letting some planet buster do your job
for you.
Beerus angrily tells Whis to take him to Earth at once, I want to observe this situation
personally!
Whis then smiles and says as you wish my lord!
Whis then looks back at Merus and winks, time for us to
depart apparently lord Beerus wants to actually be a destroyer god today.
Beerus narrows his eyes and tells Whis to watch his tone!
I swear you always get me into these situations on purpose.
So I believe that for this new Angel Merus tragedy will be avoided, that Whis just showed
him that they must remain neutral but in a grey area can somewhat influence the outcome
so to speak.
Without directly fighting or getting involved.
I am sure when everything has concluded that Merus will thank Whis for his guidance and
see that he has much to learn and that he must keep his emotions in check.
That if he becomes a guide for a god someday it will be to guide them so they can
be that balance the Universe needs.
The Grand Priest will tell Merus that he was watching and that while you have failed my
test and you still let your emotions get the best of you, thankfully for
Whis he showed you a valuable lesson.
A lesson I don't think you will forget, I hope!
Well now I want to hear from all of you, what do you think will happen coming up in the
next chapter in regards to this Angel Merus?
Will we see the Angel realm for the first time?
Will Merus finally learn from Whis how to be a great guide instead
of letting his emotions cause him to break his neutrality and the Angel code?
