Zamasu (bragon ball)

Zamasu[9] (ザマス, Zamasu[10]¿?) was the North Kai of Universe 10, who due to his potential was placed as a Kaio-shin apprentice under the tutelage of Gowas. He first appears in the "Future" Trunks Arc of the Dragon Ball Super anime and manga, being one of the main antagonists of the corresponding story arc along with his other incarnations.

appearance

It is a nucleus with light green skin and whitish hair. He wears the traditional robes of the Kaio-shin of the Sacred Planet, with the difference that this garment is black on the torso. He wears a purple undershirt with yellowish edges that surround the entire upper part of the tunic and at the waist with a light blue fabric ribbon and white boots. He displays a pair of powerless Pothala in his two ears, only orange in color, revealing his apprentice status. Zamas has the same ki as Goku Black.

personality

He is an individual who distrusts human beings. Although he tries to hide it from his superior, Gowas, internally he is firmly convinced that the existence of humans is dangerous to the universe, and that there is no point in trying to protect humans, given that their history reflects that they have a tendency to repeat the same mistakes several times, causing conflicts, and with it, suffering and desolation. In his opinion, humans are very stupid because of this custom, and, much unlike Gowas, he supports the idea of ​​the Kaio-shin "taking them out on their own". According to the philosophy of the Kaio-shin, where they are concerned, justice is carried out by protecting the weak, ignorant or uncivilized species that exist in the Universe, monitoring them frequently, but never intervening (directly or indirectly) in their Evolutive development; This includes the prohibition for the Kaio-shin to attempt to eliminate evil beings, since both good and evil form a balance in the universe. Zamas is not willing to tolerate the existence of evil within the Universe, since for him true justice translates into trying to eliminate evil, evil individuals, because of the defects they possess or the mistakes they commit, which prevents evolution from being achieved. Due to his beliefs about humans, when Goku tells him that he wants to fight him, Gowas instructs Zamas to do so, believing that fighting him would help him gain a better understanding of humans; However, once the fight between the two ended, although Zamas said in front of Gowas that he had indeed achieved a better understanding of humans, deep inside him it only reinforced the idea that humans are a very dangerous species for the universe.

Zamasu was the North Kai of Universe 10, in charge of managing the galaxies belonging to that sector of the cosmos. Due to his enormous talent for combat, he was personally chosen by Gowas as an apprentice and future successor of the Kaio-shin[11][12][13]. In his own words, Zamas witnessed countless wars in the mortal worlds, as well as witnessing how they repeated the cycle of violence over and over again.[1

Future Trunks Arc Altered line Following the battle against Goku Black, Beerus suspects that he had felt something similar before. After realizing that Goku Black has the same ki as Zamasu, the apprentice of the Kaio-shin of Universe 10, Beerus, Whis and Goku head to Universe 10 to check their ki. Meanwhile, on the Kaio-shin's planet, Zamasu prepares tea for Gowas, who then mentions that his heart is pure when he sees that he does not notice any distortion. Immediately after, Zamasu, with a slight anger, inquires about the security that humans should have, since they are the reasons for the destruction and disappearance of races, to which Gowas proceeds to explain while they maintain a brief walk that their position is to observe, not judge, mentioning that this is the job of a God of Destruction. At that moment, Beerus, Whis and Goku appear, and quickly Beerus questions Gowas about the Time Rings, while Goku asks to fight Zamasu, which he tries to avoid due to his hatred of humans. After a brief chat, Gowas leads them to the Time Rings, showing them the box that contains them, with both Beerus and Whis stating that they are all there, while Goku continues to insist that he can fight Zamasu. Gowas sees the opportunity for his apprentice to change his perspective towards humans, so he forces him to accept. Immediately, Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan 2 and maintains a relatively short battle with Zamasu, who in an attempt to attack him from behind is intercepted by his ki, at which point he feels the similarity to Goku Black. Zamasu soon shows himself at a disadvantage, surprising himself. After verifying the location of the Time Rings, Beerus, Whis and Goku return to their planet, while having a talk about Zamasu and his resemblance to Goku Black.

Zamasu and Gowas become aware of a humanoid creature on Planet Babari while sitting drinking tea. The apprentice Kaio-shin advocates for the destruction of the species, only to be rebuked by Gowas who states that it is the place of the God of Destruction to carry out this act and not him. He then shows Zamasu the Time Ring, explaining its function to him and also Zamasu learns that one cannot travel to the past with them.

Gowas prepares to travel to Babari's future, though mentions that Zamasu cannot go as he is only an apprentice and not a Kaio-shin, before passing him an earring allowing him to be one for the time being. Gowas places the earring on his ear so that Gowas will not fuse with him and denies interest in fusing with him for the time being. The two fist bump and say "a thousand years", transporting them to Babari's future where a fight breaks out between the planet's inhabitants, with Zamasu concluding that his continued existence would ensure the absence of peace in the universe. Observing the planet Babari, the apprentice Kaio-shin sees them as accomplishing goals with brute force and a disregard for laws or justice. A Babarian attacks them and Zamasu repels the attack a short distance away from them with his hand and goes against Gowas' orders by slicing the creature in half, killing it. Returning to his home planet, Zamasu returns his master's earring upon request and later makes him tea, rebuking his mentor's claim that they can learn from humans, instead Zamasu mentions that they cannot learn given the Babarian's example. Gowasu attempts to explain to him that justice is meant to counter evil, to which Zamasu replies that humans have used knowledge to taint his world and that those with knowledge are evil. Warned by Gowas to calm himself and that the gods must learn as well, apprentice Kaio-shin sets out to find his master more tea, musing that non-interventionist thinking is a crime.

Zamasu finds Gowas watching videos of the Universal Martial Arts Association Tournament on GodTube. While Gowas jokes about becoming a GodTuber, Zamasu is shocked to see that it is Goku who is fighting in the tournament. He then notices the strange objects floating in the sky above the tournament arena and asks Gowas what they mean, and Gowas explains that they are the Super Dragon Balls. Hearing that they grant any wish, Zamas becomes even more curious. Some time later, on Zunoh's planet, Zamas, interested in the information Gowas gave him, intimidates Zunoh into explaining everything related to the Super Dragon Balls. Once intimidated, Zunoh tells him all about the mysterious objects, but Zamas is unable to use them due to not having passed a year since Champa's wish.

It is speculated that the Future Zamasu is the same as the present Zamasu who has traveled forward in time using a Time Ring, and not his future counterpart. Zamasu returns to the Sacred Planet to serve tea to Gowas, where Son Goku, Beerus, Whis and the Eastern Kaio-shin are waiting for him, who have come to keep an eye on him with the idea that he might kill his master. He discovers that Beerus and the others were present. He politely welcomes them all in turn, surprised that the Eastern Kaio-shin is present, but wonders to himself why they're all here. He asks if they heard anything about the mysterious person wearing a Time Ring that they were investigating, but Beerus says that they've come again for another reason, that Goku wants a rematch with Zamasu. Goku starts to deny this, but Beerus cuts him off with a punch. Zamasu is now even more suspicious, but simply says that he too was dissatisfied with their first fight and would gladly have another. Beerus says that he would hate to intrude on his tea time, and anyway, it's just nap time and they'd better fight later. Before they leave, Whis presents Gowas with Daifuku (rice cakes filled with bean jam). Instead of going all the way back to Earth, they stop in space, using Whis's scepter to watch Zamasu and Gowas' interactions. Beerus could tell from their brief meeting that Zamasu is filled with the urge to kill Gowas. They aren't able to sense it, but being a god of destruction, Beerus is particularly sensitive to that sort of thing, as is Whis. However, what he recommends is that they have to wait for concrete proof; that they can't destroy a Universe 10 Kaio-shin apprentice simply because they feel like killing someone. Goku worries that once it's proven, it will be too late.

On the Sacred Planet, Gowas finds that daifuku goes very well with tea, and urges Zamasu to try some, but he politely declines. Zamasu says that he believes more in what he said about the balance between good and evil, and agrees with him now. He circles around behind Gowas. Goku and company (still watching Whis' scepter) can see that he is forming his hand into an energy saber and preparing to strike him. Goku urges Beerus to act quickly, but it is too late: Zamasu has already killed Gowas. However, Whis reverts time to before the attack. They now have all the proof they need to intervene. This time when Zamasu goes to kill him, he finds his hand covered in a feline glove (courtesy of Whis) which nullifies his attack. Beerus and the others appear and explain to Gowas about how Zamasu was trying to kill him. The Eastern Kaio-shin explains in detail that he wished to kill Gowas in order to steal the Time Rings, use the Super Dragon Balls to become immortal, create an imitation of Goku, and destroy all mortals. Gowas is shocked to hear that Zamasu hasn't actually turned over a new leaf, but Zamasu says that he has no need for him, and that he's simply trying to enforce divine justice after all. Still, he's surprised that they could have worked their entire plan simply from the fact that he wanted to kill Gowas. Goku says that he saw Zamasu's plan in action in the future, where there are a lot of destroyed cities and dead people. Zamasu is happy to know that his wish came true, but Beerus tells him not to get carried away and quickly destroys him in a single attack. Beerus says that when a god destroys another god it interferes with space-time. Bulma also wonders if what he said is correct, however, Goku says that if Beerus said it, it must be true, but Future Trunks has his doubts.

He has enough power to withstand an exchange of attacks with Goku in Super Saiyan 2, although he is finally surpassed by the latter with a notable difference in power both marked by Beerus and Goku, which originated mainly from the stress and nervousness that Zamas had during their battle. against Goku, which is mentioned by his teacher. Later he demonstrated monumental inferiority to Beerus, who stopped his Aura Strike with great ease, and then killed him by destroying his body with mere simplicity. In the manga, he also saw himself superior to Kibito, whom he won by a large advantage in a competitive one-on-one match.
