Unraveling the Dragon Ball Mystery: Unveiling Gowasu's Role in Zamasu's Downfall!

In Dragon Ball Super, the 12 Universes that make up the Dragon Ball Multiverse are introduced. Among them is Universe 6, which runs parallel to the main universe we know, and Universe 10, home to one of the most dangerous villains in Dragon Ball history, rivaled only by Freeza. Zamasu, with his reign of absolute justice and near omnipotence, initially embarked on a misguided path towards his ideals. However, many characters believe that external factors played a role in his eventual transformation into a notorious villain and mass-murderer across the universes.

Goku's arrival and his interaction with the trainee Supreme Kai greatly influenced Zamasu's perception of mortals. Additionally, Zamasu's master and mentor, Gowasu, also contributed to the development of his ideology. Through Gowasu's own lessons and teachings, Zamasu adopted and adhered to extreme beliefs, whether intentionally influenced or not.

Gowasu's Mistakes

Gowasu's mentorship of Zamasu lacked quality and failed to address his concerns. This neglect, combined with Gowasu's poor choice of example, drove Zamasu to take action with disastrous consequences. It is unclear whether Gowasu intended for this to happen or if it was simply an oversight on his part. In the early stages of Zamasu's development, Gowasu was unaware and dismissive of his worries and viewpoint. The impact of these events on the Dragon Ball world depends on one's perspective. Let's examine some facts and the early dynamics between Gowasu and Zamasu.

Despite having good intentions, characters like Gowasu are not immune to making costly mistakes or jeopardizing the lives of all beings in the Dragon Ball multiverse. Gowasu's initial mistake was evident when he noticed Zamasu's troubled thoughts during tea time. Although he acknowledged Zamasu's worries, he repeated the same familiar rhetoric. As Kai's, their purpose was to observe without interfering in mortal affairs to maintain balance. This rule applies to all Kais in some form or another. While Gowasu sought to ease Zamasu's mind, his words only added to the young trainee's confusion, which was further exacerbated by Goku's involvement.

However, although Zamasu's ideals were on the verge of being incorrect and dangerous, he found himself conflicted due to his strong bond with Gowasu. Unfortunately, Gowasu's attempt to alleviate his concerns backfired, as the Babarians turned out to be the worst possible example for Zamasu to learn from. This disastrous experience relieved Zamasu of his doubts and worries, but it failed to sway his extreme methods and unwavering ideals. Consequently, in an effort to eliminate any obstacles in his path, Zamasu eventually targeted and eliminated Gowasu, as

The Final Decision

Undoubtedly, Gowasu played a significant role in Zamasu's decision to eradicate all mortals, although in an indirect rather than overtly encouraging manner. While unintentionally leading Zamasu astray and carelessly imparting flawed teachings, it cannot alter the fact that Gowasu would have done his utmost to steer Zamasu back onto the right path had he known the future. Tragically, prior to Goku's arrival and Zamasu's skepticism of mortals, Gowasu and Zamasu shared a fruitful student-mentor dynamic. Despite acknowledging the imperfections and negligence in his teachings, Gowasu had immense trust and faith in Zamasu's ability to grow and learn, lending an element of sorrow to his sincere efforts to aid Zamasu.

Dragon Ball Super effectively presents a narrative in which we observe the downfall of a Kai who has been let down by his mentor, with Gowasu serving as a representation of this betrayal. What is particularly significant is that Gowasu's choices directly contributed to Zamasu's decline, resulting in severe ramifications for an entire timeline and multiple universes. Despite the frequency with which these consequences are emphasized, witnessing them unfold due to Gowasu's shortcomings as a teacher and Zamasu's subsequent actions exemplifies the exceptional storytelling prowess displayed by Dragon Ball Super.
