Hello and welcome back all my Dragon Ball theorist, with tons of Merus theories flying
around I wanted to share with you a story today.
One that addresses a problem in the Dragon Ball Super time-line
of there being two Omni-Kings.
This is a situation where we always wondered how it would eventually play out, or what
they had planned for a story with two Zeno's.
I seriously doubt that it is a scenario that can go on forever.
So how does it eventually get fixed?
How do we restore the proper God hierarchy where there is only one ruler of everything?
Maybe this guy has some answers, you know Merus, or should I say The Grand Priest
from the Future Trunk's time-line that was erased!
Wait... hold the phone, how is that even possible?
Well with The Grand Priest being the servant of
Zeno it would only make sense that he still exist and is seeking to fulfill that function.
That is his job! and as long as there are 2 Zeno's there are in fact 2 Grand Priest.
So how did he end up becoming Merus and at the Galactic Patrol
in Universe 7 helping Goku train for Ultra Instinct?
I never thought you would ask, so lets get started with the story.
As Zamasu was becoming the Universe itself there was nothing our heroes could do, until
at last, Goku remembers he has the Zeno button.
What is fascinating is that it actually didn't call the Zeno that
gave him the button.
Instead it brought Future Zen-chan who was confused and didn't even know who Goku was.
The rest is history and after pointing out Zamasu to future Zeno, he said a world like
this can't exist!
In order to destroy this Multiversal Zamasu he needed to erase the entire time-line.
Everything, the entire Multiverse itself!
I know for some time it was debated that it was only
Universe 7 that was erased however in Jump Magazine it was definitively stated that Zeno
erased the entire Multiverse to destroy Zamasu.
Which makes sense, so as we know there was this void of
nothingness left that Goku came back to for Zeno to bring him to the present time-line.
Goku with his quick thinking remembered that he promised the present Zeno that he would
bring an even better friend than himself to play with!
Although he didn't really consider any consequences of 2 Zeno's but there is someone else who
did.
There is an interesting theory out that Merus is The Grand Priest in disguise and it is
his way to check out Universe 7 without anyone knowing.
If you remember back when Goku first brought future
Zeno to the palace he was more than excited about his idea to get these guys together.
After he introduces them they hit it off of course and the Grand Priest asks, Whis was
this your idea?
He said No, it was son Goku's.
The Grand Priest states he envies Universe 7 then Whis invites him to visit sometime,
to which his Father responds, Yea at some point.
So an idea was born that Merus is The Grand Priest in disguise and he is actually
checking out Universe 7 finally and this is why he must conceal his powers.
It's a fun idea to think about and partly correct.
Yes, Merus could be the Grand Priest but he couldn't be the one from
the present time-line.
If you remember our Grand Priest has double duty now thanks to Goku.
He has not one but two Omni-Kings to look after and keep
from being bored or erasing something on a whim.
There is no way that he could leave his job watching them and take a vacation for all
the time he had disguised as Merus!
Also if it was the Grand Priest from our time-line, who is he hiding his powers from exactly?
Why would he care if Whis knows he is finally visiting Universe 7.
There is no real reason to do any of that and stay hidden for so long.
Or drag Goku into a different dimension to train him so he can finally reveal his true
powers and identity he has been hiding.
So while I enjoy this theory it doesn't quite make the most sense.
There has to be another way that makes sense for the Grand Priest to be disguised as Merus
and spend so much time in Universe 7 to become the number one Galactic
Elite.
To have a true hidden agenda that involves fixing the entire God hierarchy that Goku
changed when he pressed the Zeno button.
The only way this makes any sense is for Merus to be the Future
Grand Priest!!
Wait didn't Future Zeno erase The Grand Priest when he erased that entire time-line?
No he didn't.
I do have a video out explaining "What Zeno Can't Erase" and the Angels as we know are
absolved from it because of their divine job.
As Whis says my position is different from yours Beerus sama.
However in the future Trunk's time-line all the Angels have disappeared because after
Zamasu's careful calculations he killed all the Gods by assassinating
all the Supreme Kai's.
Since there is a life link between a Supreme Kai and God of Destruction it was easy to
dispose of them.
Then as Whis has stated when the deity and Angel serves dies,
his function is suspended to another God appears.
So Zeno never erased any Angels and that leaves only the Grand Priest in that time-line.
The servant of Zeno who guides him in making decisions
and then on that day...
Goku changed everything.
He pressed the button!!
Now lets take a look into exactly what happened.
Zeno's Palace is on a plane of existence that is separate from the multiverse.
Here the Grand Priest is an attendant to the ruler of everything.
Here Zeno and the Grand Priest can look down upon each
Universe as we see them represented on the pillars outside his palace.
We even seen the two Zeno's play games with actual planets destroying them for fun.
Just merely reaching into the Universe with a finger and pushing a planet out of the way
as if it was nothing.
This is Zeno's world and a plane of existence beyond the normal existence of everything.
So on that day when the Grand Priest was filling his job function at Zeno's palace Goku pressed
the button and right before the Daishinkan the ruler of everything vanished.
He was summoned by Goku to take care of Zamasu and he did just that.
In an effort to destroy Zamasu he erased the time-line and now the Grand Priest is looking
out into the great void of what once was a magnificent
Multiverse from the palace.
Intrigued by these events he continues to watch, keep in mind this Grand Priest has
never met Goku and is curious as to why he has a Zeno button to begin with.
Suddenly Goku appears again and takes future Zeno to the present right before his eyes.
The Grand Priest smiles and says looks like I will be going to this time-line to find
out more about these mortals and to see what has happened to Zeno.
So that is just exactly what he did!
We were all wondering where did Merus come from and why wasn't he around to stop Frieza
if he is in the Galactic Patrol?
Answer is simple, he wasn't in the time-line yet.
He arrived at the same time as Goku was taking Zeno to the palace.
The Grand Priest followed Goku and Zeno to Universe 7 in the present.
He then disguised himself and joined the Galactic Patrol to get a better understanding of these
fascinating mortals that made friends with Zeno somehow in another time.
So while the entire Tournament of Power arc was taking place Merus who is the Future Grand
Priest was watching and establishing himself in this time-line in Universe 7.
He couldn't reveal himself while the tournament was going on for a very
specific reason that I will get too latter.
Then suddenly Moro escapes and he is merely playing along and trying to not reveal his
power and goes to Earth to kidnap Buu and this is the first
time the Future Grand Priest meets Goku and Vegeta in person.
To which he states, The Goku and Vegeta.
So naturally the Grand Priest takes both of them as
he has plans for them to handle this situation for him.
The Future Grand Priest does actually have a plan that he will act out when the time
is right.
So disguised as Merus he doesn't want to reveal his actual identity to cause an issue with
anything transpiring in this time-line.
Having 2 Zeno's is already an issue that he plans to resolve at
some point but not before finding out why Zeno has such an interest in Goku to begin
with.
So as we know at any point Merus could of defeated Moro, even Goku eventually called
him out on it saying even if you were fighting seriously?
Which after Manga Chapter 52 we finally find out that Merus knows Ultra Instinct, that
he is likely somehow an Angel.
That he purposely brought Goku into the room of spirit in time not just to train him
but because he could reveal his true powers and identity to him.
To find out everything he can about this Mortal that has become friends with Zeno.
Here is where the Future Grand Priest will teach Goku Ultra Instinct and reveal to him
who he really is.
You see he wants to help Goku but he really doesn't want to interfere in another time-line.
He is only on this adventure because his Omni-King was brought here and he is letting him have
fun in this time-line before he acts out his plan to restore the future one and bring the
Future Zeno back to it.
Remember how I started this video off, How can we restore the God hierarchy to it's original
position where there aren't 2 Zeno's in one existence.
The answer is simple but it can only be accomplished in the present time-line.
Unfortunately the Super Dragon Balls were shattered in the future so Zamasu's Zero Mortal
Plan couldn't be undone by anyone.
So the future Grand Priest needed to come to this time-line that has
Super Dragon Ball in it.
After he helps Goku with his training and this Moro Arc comes to it's conclusion, everyone
is now back at Zeno's palace.
Merus, AKA the Future Grand Priest can gather all the Super Dragon Balls and
make a wish to restore the future time-line that was erased.
As we know, they are the only thing with enough power to reverse every Universe being erased
by Zeno.
This is when we will finally see 2 Grand Priest together!
One for each Zeno!
This is when the future Grand Priest will discuss his adventure in Universe 7 with the
present one.
This is when we finally will have Future Zeno return to
his appropriate place.
The Future Zeno thanks both Grand Priest for letting him have fun in this time-line and
he hopes to visit again.
The Future Zeno says some final words to Zeno, hey
now that my time-line is restored maybe you can come visit and we can do that tournament
of power thing again there!!
Vegeta looks at Goku and says, if you say even one word.....I swear Kakarrot!!!
Goku chuckles and finally this is the conclusion of the Galactic Patrol Arc and all balance
is restored in the Multiverse both present and future.
I hope everyone has enjoyed my story of the two Grand Priest and why Merus is the Grand
Priest from the future trying to restore his time-line.
Hope everyone has an amazing weekend and if you enjoy
stories like this one please check out my Deep Information and Stories play list.
Now tell me who do you think Merus really is?
Is he a fallen Angel like I said in another theory or could he
possibly be the Future Grand Priest?
