Hello and welcome back all my Dragon Ball Theorist, perhaps the most interesting part
of the entire Galactic Patrol Arc is focused around this mysterious character known as
Merus.
He has concealed his true identity from everyone and disguised
himself as a Galactic Patrolman.
We don't know how long Merus has been living this charade as he only tells the story of
Moro's capture 10 million years ago but wasn't seen as part of the Galactic Patrol
back then and there have been no stories told of when he joined.
I have done quite a few theories on the possibilities of Merus and all of them could be plausible
but today I wanted to focus on an idea that I have seen many times in the comments.
That Merus isn't just an Angel but somehow he is a hybrid, an off spring of the Angels.
Is this something that is forbidden and the reason for Merus concealing
his identity?
Can the Angels have off spring or be allowed to live a normal life instead of one where
their only purpose is that of being a servant to a
god of destruction?
Lets explore today that vary possibility in this video and see why even Whis seems to
be confused on the laws of the Angels.
Is Merus a Demigod?
One thing is for sure I have never trusted this guy, everything seems a little to convenient
for Merus to have all these powers and be part of the Galactic Patrol just as Moro escapes
after being in prison for 10 million years.
Why take part in the capture of these powerful enemies like SevenThree, Saganbo and this
gang which the Galactic patrol would of never been able to capture on their own.
Providing Moro with incredibly allies to act out his plan of reshaping the Universe.
It's obvious that Merus could of apprehended Moro himself but he didn't and instead only
after being questioned by Goku did we find out that the rumors seem
to be true.
That Merus is indeed for some reason an Angel as he knows Ultra Instinct and has been easily
laying the smack down on Goku in the time chamber during
his training.
So I don't trust this guy for a minute and I hope Goku is smart enough to see the similarities
between Merus and Whis and to not let his guard down because so many things about this
character still don't add up.
We still really don't know if he is a friend or foe despite Goku claiming that he can tell
he is one of the good guys.
I have seen a lot of comments when we had clues early on about Merus that he couldn't
be an Angel because he doesn't look like one.
Well there has been a lot of fan artwork done that made Merus look
completely different than an Angel with Green hair and yellow eyes.
Except when we look at the official jump cover and see Merus colored in for the first time
it's obvious the similarities we have now . Where
he has the exact same eyes of the Angels and similar skin tone.
Although yet there still seem to be some differences with his hair and maybe his head gear is concealing
the true nature of this character.
That if he were to take it off it would reveal his pointed ears and tell us that he has some
type of relationship with the Kai's.
As we see there are many variations of Kai's throughout the Multiverse in
terms of skin tone and design.
Is it possible that somehow a Kai attained full knowledge of Ultra Instinct and disguised
himself in Universe 7?
Is it possible that an Angel had an off spring with a Kai or another mortal to produce a
hybrid being, one that would be forced to live a different life and prove himself among
the mortals?
Well we have heard many stories like this told in Greek
mythology where Zeus would have offspring with mortals.
A son born to the mortal world named Perseus and there have been movies telling of this
tale in Clash of the Titans.
A demigod that would rise up and fight for the mortals against the plans of certain gods
and prove his worth.
By the way if you are going to watch Clash of the Titans I prefer the original
made in 1981 it's a classic and the reboots just don't do it justice but when have they
ever?
Now Zeus since he is the king of the gods could get away with his actions and get it
on with the mortals having children but this act would be frowned upon for any other god
to interfere like this.
Similar too how it would likely be hard in the Dragon
Ball Universe for any of the Angels to get involved with mortals like this and actually
have offspring.
Despite many theories on Angels over the years having
their own agenda they all seem to maintain neutrality and never break any of the laws
they are bound too.
So the only character in the Dragon Ball Universe that seems capable of a similar act is the
father to all the Angels, the one who is making all the rules, The Grand Priest.
While it would be forbidden for Whis to get involved with a mortal or a Kai and start
a family, since he must instead be a guide to Beerus the same as all the other Angels.
It isn't forbidden for the father of all the Angels when he was setting up the
entire god hierarchy to have perhaps explored other options in terms of having children.
That he would want to have children that would be demigods and live
throughout the Universe.
To watch over the development of the mortals to see how they evolve.
It would be a perfect way to have the closest watch on the Multiverse and it explains why
when Whis went to visit his father and talk about Angel laws.
The Grand Priest is well aware of the situation with Merus.
This is why Merus can interact with the mortals, why he doesn't have a halo and why he is in
Universe 7 because he is a hybrid child of the Grand Priest.
I would imagine that since Merus is a demigod or
hybrid angel that he would also not be completely bound by Angel laws and have more freedom
to make decisions on his own.
I mean that freedom of decision making is in his mortal blood.
So his bloodline if he is part mortal would mean he is also
capable or doing wrong and siding with good or evil.
Maybe one other reason for The Grand Priest to keep a close eye on him to see how he develops
with the mortals.
Just another test of the gods.
I guess the main question is how much does Whis know about Merus?
Have they met a very long time ago on the Angel home-world?
One thing that I wanted to mention is this "Great Beyond" that the Angels
come from and return too when not in service to their god of destruction.
While Whis is connected to Beerus as his servant and if Beerus dies then he will cease to function
until a new god of destruction is appointed.
We never found out if he returns home?
Which would make sense and it would seem that these Angels do have a world with life on
it as it was hinted in Dragon Ball Super Manga chapter 7.
Where during a word game Whis named a Jil-Jil and
when Goku asked what that was, he stated it's the name of a bird from his home planet.
So what else is on this home planet that Whis came from?
Are there other Angels there that aren't in service to a god of destruction?
Before Whis became a servant did he grow up there with all the other
Angels and only some of them were selected to fill the divine role to be this guide to
the gods?
Did all the Angels of the previously erased Universes go back to their home world instead
of being erased?
A lot of questions and we do have some answers.
I did cover in my video on what Zeno can't erase as the Angels being one of those things,
as we know they are absolved from it and at no point has an Angel
ever been erased by the OmniKing.
The fact is when we explore Dragon Ball Super Manga chapter 28, when Goku went to see Zen
chan and ask about the tournament.
Right before he arrived the 2 Omni-king's had decided to erase the Universes with the
lowest mortal levels.
One Zeno says you're right, lets erase four, while the other one says lets erase the eight
universes that are lower than the others.
Prime example of how 2 Omni-kings isn't a good thing.
However as the Grand Priest is preparing for the destruction of these 8 Universes he says
very well my lord!
Then let the guides of the designated universes withdraw.
Which means if Goku never showed up to stop this from happening all of the Angels would
of been removed and returned to their home planet
until needed again despite the destruction of their Universe.
Which also means that when Zeno erased the previous 6 Universes that this happened to
all of those Angels and they weren't erased.
There is no conspiracy that the Grand Priest is angry
over his children dying because they have never died and will never be erased by Zeno.
As we know they are divine beings that have a different role than everyone
else in the Universe.
So in regards to Merus and whether or not he is a hybrid Demigod or a full blooded Angel,
well either could easily be written into the story.
Merus could be a hybrid of the mortals and the Grand Priest and
forced to live out life among them.
Which means he has more freedom in his decisions and potentially could of helped Moro escape.
Or like I said before, the Grand Priest very well could of sent Merus to
Universe 7 since he was on the Angel home-world waiting for a job to fulfill.
He very well could be an Angel from a previously erased Universe because right before Zeno
erased them.
The Grand Priest withdrew all the guides and sent them to their
home-world to wait until a time where they are needed again.
Now tell me do you think Merus is actually a hybrid and who are the potential parents?
Or is he a full blooded Angel perhaps from a previously erased Universe doing the bidding
of the Grand Priest in Universe 7?
We have 3 days until the next chapter is out and I hope that we continue on with where
we left off with this stunning conversation between the Grand Priest and Whis.
That we finally find out more about the Angel home-world and all the
other divine beings.
