Hello everyone, today I'm going to talk about a topic that I think many of you won't like.
I'm going to explain why Zen'O isn't eligible for
1-C.
Zen'O's feat was accomplished by destroying
Trunks's timeline, which is marked as "
erased from reality" by the official website, given that
Trunks' timeline is a 1-C hypertimeline.
Since it is stated that the entire timeline, the entire universe, has been destroyed, then normally the three spatial dimensions and the temporal dimension of Future Trunks' Universe 7 should have been completely destroyed.
This means that there are no longer any axes of movement and time no longer exists. Time itself should no longer exist in the true sense of the word.
Given that the temporal dimension can be considered an
infinite line encompassing an infinite number of points, and each point represents a static moment in the universe, also called a snapshot, the set of all these points forms the totality of spacetime.
Therefore, destroying the dimension directly implies destroying the line and the infinite number of snapshots.
Now, the question is... did Zen'O destroy all of space-time?
The answer is no. The
time ring representing Trunks' timeline was destroyed, demonstrating that the timeline no longer exists in the true sense of the word. Therefore, the fact that
Goku can return to it, that he can move forward in this universe supposedly "erased from reality," proves that it wasn't entirely erased. Without proof to the contrary, Goku isn't spacefaring, and he could also breathe even though there was no oxygen.
Furthermore, Whis explains that he can bring Trunks and Mai
back to "their" world before its "destruction," implying that the time dimension wasn't completely erased and that snapshots of the past remain, since Whis can bring them back to a time before their world's destruction.
This is further reinforced by Bulma's statement that if
they return to "their" world before its "destruction by King Zen'O," they will have to face Zamasu again.
Therefore, "their" world is indeed the timeline that is supposed to have been completely destroyed.
In the FAQ, there's the question,
"When is the destruction or creation of a universe or timeline ranked as Low 2-C (Universe level+)?"
The answer was that it required the creation/destruction of all three-dimensional space at every instant in time. The entire timeline had to be destroyed, and the act of creation/destruction had to be direct.
An example was given: destroying the universe at the beginning of time, causing everything else to disappear due to the paradox of causality. The present cannot exist without the past, and without the present, there is no future. This destruction, however, doesn't meet the requirements and can only be classified as 3-A.
In Zen'O's case, it's proven that the past still exists, as demonstrated by Whis and Bulma's statements, implying that not all three-dimensional space was destroyed at every instant in time. At best, he destroyed the present and the future (the present because, from Future Trunks's perspective, it's "his present"), but the past remained unaffected. This also debunks Zamasu's
1-C, which is supposed to be one with the entire universe, including the time dimension.
Conclusion: Zen'O does not meet the requirements for timeline destruction and should therefore be downgraded to
3-A, or
High 3-A maximum.
