While the ultimate origin of the Dragon Ball world remains hazy, its creation is still an ongoing process. Each universe has at least one God of Creation, aka Kaioshin (Supreme Kai) in charge of creating new planets and life-forms. #HistoryofEver
To balance things out, each universe also has one God of Destruction (Hakaishin, Destroyer) to destroy planets and life-forms. The two are linked so that if one dies, so does the other (but it’s about a zillion times easier to kill a Kaioshin than a Hakaishin).
Kaioshin all stem from a single divine race (more on this later), but Gods of Destruction are made, not born. Promising candidates from among each universe’s inhabitants are selected for the job. Once hired, they are assisted by an angel guide, who acts as teacher/trainer/butler.
So far, all the angels we know of are the children of a single being: the Grand Priest (Dai-Shinkan), who lives in a central palace atop a giant space jellyfish out in the middle of everywhere. Here he attends upon the Omni-King (Zeno), quite literally the ruler of all.
Where/when/how these two originated remains yet another mystery, but as of the ToP the “King’s Calendar” numbers 3,135,500,603 days. Each of these days has at least 157 hours, so who knows what this all means in terms of Earthly days or years.
It’s also not specified precisely what this “King’s Calendar” commemorates, although one obvious guess is that it’s the length of the Omni-King’s reign. Whether or not this coincides with the creation of the universes is likewise unknown.
Tomorrow: more stuff we don’t know, including those six missing universes.
