It’s time to begin Dragon Ball: The History of Ever. All this year I’ll be shifting through DB lore in roughly chronological order, from the Big Bang (Attack and/or Mission) all the way to Turtle’s funeral. Trust me, it’ll be fun. #HistoryofEver 
In the beginning...the Dragon Ball world was created some such years ago, in some such way. It still hasn’t really been addressed in the series, despite all the god talk. However, important research in this field is currently being conducted by Professor Fu and his Universe Tree.
See, in the aptly-named Super DB Heroes: Big Bang Mission, Fu tries to create a new universe by having the Universe Tree gather enough energy to produce a Big Bang, which the Gods of Destruction note is the “explosive expansion during the birth of a universe”.
This of course implies that the existing 12 DB universes were likewise created via Big Bang (maybe also involving Universe Trees), but this has yet to be spelled out.
On that note: as we learn from BoG onwards, the DB world is divided up into multiple “universes” which sit within gigantic crystalline spheres, apparently floating next to each other in some kind of shared space.
This doesn’t seem like a set-up that would naturally result from a Big Bang, but who knows what shenanigans the gods might have pulled off in the olden days?
Of course, the fact that Vegeta named his technique the Big Bang Attack might hint that he has profound cosmological knowledge (but probably not). Does the name “Final Flash” likewise hint at the DB world’s ultimate fate? (No)
Tomorrow: just who are these god people, anyway?
