In the End, Zamasu Was Victorious

Zeno’s Actions Eliminated All Mortals From Trunks’ Timeline

I knew all mortals are vicious ; you are no exception .

  • Zamasu

Zamasu ’s grown goal throughout his time as aDragon Ballantagonist was to destroy any deathly life in the creation , as he see non - deities as insults to his divinity fudge . The Z Warriors fought with everything they had to forestall his Zero Mortals Plan from becoming a world , which was a monumental job deliberate he isone of the strong baddie in Dragon Ball .

By eliminating the timeline , the Omni - King efface all mortals as well , with the only survivor being Trunks and Mai . Despite having his consciousness rub out , Zamasu wound up as the only victor of this conflict .

Goku and his admirer could never have go to Trunks ’ timeline , and the result would have been almost the same .

Trunks Suffered So the Plot Could Progress

His Timeline Was Destroyed To Justify the Tournament of Power

In instalment # 77 , after the destruction of Trunks ’ timeline , Goku had a brief group meeting with Zeno and the god ’s future ego to talk about the Tournament of Power . During this scene , the original Omni - King admitted that he had already forget about the rival , leading his double to interview whether such an result would be fun . Even though this moment might seem harmless , it puts into question why the writers decided to demolish Trunks ’ world .

Dragon Ball certainly is n’t cognize for having dark minute , but each entry in the franchise has some desolate , sad moments that make anyone quiver .

Seeing as the original Zeno had no clear intention of O.K. the tournament , it is likely that his next self was introduced just to convince him to mind to Goku . The Tournament of Power electric arc is , beyond a shadow of a doubtfulness , one of the best in the entire franchise , withepic minute that sports fan still commemorate lovingly . Yet , the fact that Trunks ’ story and motivations had to be mistreated to make it a reality put a damper on its origins .

My Hero Academia - All For One

Nevertheless , the wallop he had on the franchise will go on to be celebratedby fans . The franchise still has plenty of amazing sagas and battles and will remain the most iconic Zanzibar copal of all time , despite this admittedly unfortunate moment in the story .
