Hello and welcome back all my dragon ball theorist, in yesterday's video I mentioned
a few different ideas on how the Arc would progress now that we have Merus stepping in
to save everyone from certain death against Moro.
One of the ideas that I wanted to expand on since we know the Grand Priest is responsible
for dispatching his trainee angel Merus to Universe 7 so that he might learn about the
way of things and broaden his perspective.
Is why he picked Universe 7 and also specifically placed Merus into the Galactic Patrol.
Sure when Whis went to Zeno's palace to ask what the deal with Merus being in
his Universe was.
The Daishinkan stated that the Galactic Patrol seemed a decent choice, as it would allow
him to observe the side of good and virtue but I don't think that is all.
I believe that the Grand Priest decided to spice things up a
bit by making sure Merus and Universe 7 had a real test to confirm he was ready to actually
be an attendant for a god of destruction.
Lets also not forget the Grand Priest does hold a special interest in Universe 7 ever
since Goku managed to become friends with Zeno and brought Future Zeno back so he would
have a friend to play with.
When Whis tells his father that it was Goku's idea
the Grand Priest said I envy Universe 7.
Whis says his father should visit and his response is Yes, at some point.
So it only makes sense that Merus who is his angel trainee and also deemed a trouble
maker gets dispatched to a Universe in which the Grand Priest envies.
Of course since the Daishinkan made this statement a lot has happened, Universe 7 went on to
win the tournament of power and wish for all the erased universes to be brought back.
In reality the entire tournament of power was just a front for the
real test, to see if a warrior would be virtuous enough to consider the other universes.
If a selfish wish had been made then Zeno would of erased everything!!
Which gives us a wonderful expression from the gods realizing even in a win their lives
could of been ended.
The reason I bring this up is to point out that this is how the Angels and Zeno work.
Their true test isn't often the one that has been
presented.
It's really just a front.
So the Grand Priest placing Merus in the Galactic Patrol is just a front and hardly could be
considered a real test for his Angel trainee.
He also realized that it would be important for Merus to interact
with Goku, Vegeta and the mortals of Earth.
Knowing this he decided in order for this to happen they needed an adversary to bring
Merus and Universe 7 together.
An opponent that has been sealed away for 10 million years in prison who possesses great
magic so he couldn't be handled alone by just mortals.
Yes, it was the Grand Priest that released Moro from prison and put everything in motion.
You had to question how Moro escaped didn't you?
Don't you think it's odd that mysteriously Moro who has been sealed away confined to
a chair and his thoughts subdued with a helmet for 10 million years
manages to somehow escape all while an Angel in training is responsible for that very prison
in where he rest?
Moro stated that it was his good fortune to have even an ounce of magic return to him
before his life expired.
Was it really luck or just the Grand Priest granting the return of some of his magic.
Knowing his escape would force Merus as the Galactic Patrol to immediately head to none
other than Earth because they needed the great Lord
of Lords inside of Buu.
Thus setting in motion this entire Arc because if you try to steal Buu then Goku and Vegeta
will arrive.
Now since Merus is an Angel and he doesn't want to break the Angel code to capture this
villain that broke out of prison on his watch.
That's why he needs the Lord of Lords inside of Buu to seal away Moro's magic again and
why he decides to bring both Goku and Vegeta along since as powerful mortals they
can aid in this cause.
Merus does feel responsible for what happened so he does want to make it right.
It's just Merus doesn't know that everything that has happened was set up so the Daishinkan
can watch this pay per view event unfold.
Honestly I imagine the Grand Priest is up there at Zeno's palace with popcorn in hand
watching Universe 7 and Merus struggle against Moro thinking this is great!!
The Grand Priest gets to test the mortals of a universe he envies yet again and test
his Angel in training at the same time.
That's 2 birds with one stone.
Now of course Whis has showed up to stop Merus from breaking the Angel code using his Angel
powers against Goku to train and heading to Earth to fight Moro.
Whis told us.
I'm afraid there are no secrets between angels!
Really... none, I just mentioned two in this video.
So please don't take Whis statement as LITERALLY no secrets.
If there are no secrets between Angels then why did Whis call for an emergency meeting
with his father at Zeno's palace because of Merus in Universe 7?
Whis wanted to ask about the angels laws and his
father said the matter of Merus, I suppose.
Which Whis says.. you are aware, then?
Not only did Whis not know that the Grand Priest put Merus in Universe 7 but Whis also
didn't think his father knew about him?
I could actually do an entire video on the secrets that angels keep from each other.
However this statement by Whis as his superior to Merus was just that and was meant to let
him know that there is always someone watching and not there is literally
no secrets.
It's hard to keep secrets for sure but that clearly doesn't mean they don't exist... because
they do.
I just wanted to get that out of the way because in the comments I see people taking this statement
by Whis literally and not everything is a literal statement.
With that said the Grand Priest did see enough and allowed Whis to retrieve Merus
and put him under his supervision because he doesn't want to lose an Angel.
It appears that Merus has chosen the side of good and you can't have a bias because
you must remain neutral.
However chapter 62 ended with somehow Merus arriving on Earth to fight Moro which would
be bad for Merus.
It appears that he has failed the Grand Priest test and releasing Moro
upon Universe 7 was the perfect scenario to see how Merus would react to a Universe that
is in peril.
At any moment the Daishinkan could arrive there and put a stop to this if he wants because
you better believe that he is watching.
Although I think he won't interfere just to see how the mortals, Merus
and perhaps even Beeerus and Whis deal with this situation.
Remember he told Whis, I don't suppose you are here to ask for your Universe to be saved
are you?
It was a rhetorical question and Whis even said he would never ask for such a thing.
What I am in love with most in this Arc is it can move in many different directions and
so many questions that are about to be answered next chapter.
Did Merus arrive alone?
I do think Whis and Beerus are with him.
Does Beerus stop Merus from fighting and step in against Moro?
Does Moro really know the gods and live up to his claim that his power
transcends the very gods?
As we wait for some of these answers I have a few videos planned to explore some more
ideas on what could happen in the upcoming chapter 63 of the Manga.
Now I want to hear from you....
Do you think the Grand Priest is the one who released Moro from prison?
Was this all just another test of the mortals and his trainee Merus.
