Dragon Ball Daima allegedly retcons the multiverse origins with Rymus's entry
Dragon Ball Daima was off to a great start, igniting the passion among ardent fans of the series. The entire fanbase was gearing up for a new installation of the ongoing series, with top-tier animation. Toei Animation certainly did a good job in this regard, which delighted the viewers. However, new information from this show has left fans scratching their heads.
Dragon Ball Daima has allegedly retconned the very creation of the multiverse. This is a massive part of the overall plot, and it seems like the writers have decided to alter the manner in which it was created. This was established in the Super series.
Naturally, this was discussed at great lengths on various social media platforms and forums. Most fans seem to be okay with Daima’s explanation, and they don’t believe that the multiverse’s creation was retconned. Let’s take a look at the creation of the multiverse, the person responsible for it, and understand whether or not it was truly retconned.
Why fans believe that Dragon Ball Daima allegedly retconned the creation of the multiverse?
As per Dragon Ball Super, Zeno created the multiverse. He is the supreme ruler of the multiverse. This implies that the entire multiverse was under his control. Zeno has been shown to have destroyed universes, which were later restored through Super Dragon Balls.
Since he was the supreme ruler, fans were under the impression that he was the one who created the multiverse. However, this was not the case, which is why fans came up with theories exploring the possibility of Tori-bot creating the multiverse.
It wasn’t explicitly mentioned that Zeno created the multiverse. His position paired with his powers gave fans the impression that he did. Dragon Ball Daima addressed with the latest information involving Super Majin Rymus. As per this series, Super Majin Rymus created the multiverse that existed outside the Demon Realm.
Rymus created the universe upon the request of the Supreme Demon King. He wanted to expand the Demon Realm, and this is when the various universes were created. As shown in the panels, Bulma is quite shocked to hear this. She later drew the conclusion that everyone was technically a descendant of the Majin race.
This changes fans’ understanding of the series. Based on what we can derive from this information, this makes Super Majin Rymus the ultimate authority over the universes, since he was the one who created them. One half of the fanbase was busy attempting to understand how Rymus is actually the one who created the multiverse; the other half was busy debating the canonicity of the Dragon Ball Super series. Either way, Dragon Ball Daima has addressed this topic with clarity, and it’s evident that Super Majin Rymus is indeed the creator of the multiverse.
Conclusion
Dragon Ball Daima has put an end to this discussion. However, one can understand why fans feel that the creation of the multiverse felt retconned. Zeno’s power and position implied that it was he who created it. Since it wasn’t explicitly mentioned, Daima took the opportunity to “retcon” the creation of the multiverse. While it isn’t particularly a retcon, Daima did get away on a technicality. However, the creation of the multiverse isn’t particularly a retcon of Super since Zeno didn’t create the universe to begin with.
