I have some doubts, it seems more that he is referring to the Universe expanding infinitely and not that in fact it is infinite, in fact, is there any proof that the DBS Mangá Universe is infinite too?, If my memory serves me correctly, there's an episode of the Anime where Whis says that the Earth is at the center of the universe, right? Doesn't that already contradict the Infinite Universe?

I agree that the universe is infinite, in fact there is a possibility that the universe is retcon, but almost all the arguments we have support an infinite universe.

1. It being expanding and infinite size isn't necessarily mutually exclusive. He could mean both.
2. If you take something of finite size, find its center and stretch it infinitely in 2 opposite directions, the center would remain the same despite the object now being of infinite size so I don't think it having a center proves it is finite.
3. The OP addresses this claim and says Bulma could be talking about the observable universe, not the entire thing.

There are places beyond the edge of the Observable Universe that we see in Super since it's littered with stars and light. See the guide scans below for more details.
Guides
Daizenshuu 4
Scan 1
"Infinitely expanding and galaxy illuminations Ten of thousands of light years.. Hundreds of millions of light years.. Countless unknown aliens monsters live beyond stars where light cannot reach."
Scan 2
This Daizenshuu scan refers to what we're calling the 'Observable Universe' here, it talks about an infinitely expanding light but with darkness that still dwells before it, and creatures that live there. This is the section where the Four Kaio govern their own associated cardinal direction holding countless galaxies.
"The infinitely expanding universe is determined mainly by the direction that each king manages, and the place managed by the king is supervised by the king of the world, and the gods of the north, south, east, and west manage the Universe. Ultimately, the Great King God is supposed to oversee the whole world."
It's in the Unobservable Universe that lays beyond the edge. There are no contradictions. Everything is in line with the show.
Daizenshuu 4
Now, for the scans on the infinite nature of the entirety of the Living World:
"An infinite space of light and darkness where the unknown lives"
Daizenshuu 7
"An endless space that envelops all celestial bodies that exist in this world."

In GT, as well it has been supported that there are boundless galaxies.
GT has been accepted to be a alternate timeline and canon to super aka same cosmological structure to prime universe.
DBGT Episode 2:
People read incomplete Daizenshuu pages at surface level, see that it refers to both a Universe that is infinitely expanding and outright infinite, and falsely conclude that it has inconsistencies. This is false. The same people do this and end up thinking that the DB Universe only has 4 galaxies.
Read all available information, and with the proper context provided you will understand how the DB cosmology works. It's a cosmology that contains both an infinitely expanding Universe, and an infinite Universe.
Also about Bulma statement that they live at the edge of the Universe is kinda being overused and ignoring all the previous statements, also that it seems highly unlikely for eartg or milky way galaxy to be at the edge, it is more reasonable that Bulma is talking about observable Universe.

Bruhh, there is like three statements in the guidebook, 1 is infinitely expanding, 2 is infinite space of light and darkness, 3 is endless space; not just only the infinitely expanding.
Also for peoples who argued that infinitely expanding contradict something that is infinite then no lol, infinite isn't a number, it mean no end, something which already infinite can still continue to increases, expand its size/length/etc....
Anyway, i always agree with infinite universe for DB, but for someone for participated in so many topic about this, i'm tired

It's gonna be the same ish, "infinitely expanding isn't infinite " (when guidebooks say it's expansive meaning it's infinite in size + ignores tht there is an observable nd unobservable aspect of the living universe) "bulma statement " (which only speaks on observable universe nd an infinite universe can still have a center nd stretch infinitely beyond tht point) or "these are from old guides, super retcon this" (when u literally have shenron saying the universe is infinite and the series follows the same cosmology that's been established, it just has more universes like it i.e. u6,u11 etc.). Another one will be "super shenron light was showing in the neutral zone nd it only shows galaxies( ignoring tht u literally can't show infinity in animation)
I don't mean to derail, but I'm willing to bet my entire month's of earnings any of those are gonna be brought up. Tbh I feel like peeps are not tryna have what's been true for so many years, be actually true nd are scared of the upgrades.
I'll stop nd watch nd can't wait for this to be applied. Cus it's going to be. Too much evidence, literally.

As Dragonball Mortal world is specifically based on irl Universe, it is safe to say it is consist of known and unknown Universe supported by guide books as the part of light and darkness, infinitely expanding seems to referring towards scattering of all mass, light in the Universe across infinite Universe continuously. Bulma statement taking seriously for explicit actual Universe is kinda Dumb as it seems to show that Galaxy is at the end of the Universe that is highly unlikely, not only it would make character aware that Universe is not everything but they will continuously be able to leave the Universe in and out at a will, Bulma seems to talking about observation universe. Also centre can mean a place through which all events can be analysed equally.
Yes. but a talk for later.

Whis never gives any statements of a Universe’s size but he explains the Universes add up to 13 with their pair number also it calls the galactic illuminations infinitely expanding
- 15,345

When was this stated in Dragon Ball?
That would clear up my issues with Super Shenrons light though should provide a source for this in the OP that links to this standard.
As for other stuff brought up in other comments like infinite expansion. I wouldn't say that contradicts the whole universe already being infinite, just that the observable universe is expanding across the infinite space since their is shown to be space beyond it and if you add in guides they say their is infinite darkness beyond it so you could say the entire universe is infinite while the observable universe is constantly expanding throughout it so statements like them being at the edge could just refer to the observable universe like the OP mentioned.
I guess you can switch me to the agreeing side for right now. I was neutral because I was waiting for some solid counter points but until those show up I don't have any major issues at this time.
It's a pretty controversial topic that has been discussed before so I'm not surprised if people want to remain neutral until all things are properly discussed.Bro what will it take for a mod that isn't neutral to show up

The point is there there is an edge, bulma is talking about the area she has to scan in search of the super dragon balls, if the universe was infinite changing position wouldn't matter for scaning the entire area since the distance would be the same since it would be infiniteScan 2

"Also about Bulma statement that they live at the edge of the Universe is kinda being overused and ignoring all the previous statements, also that it seems highly unlikely for eartg or milky way galaxy to be at the edge, it is more reasonable that Bulma is talking about observable Universe"
Why it is "unlikely"? The statement itself never says anything about it taling about only an specific part of the universe
Here is my summary from the earlier thread, it was agreed to have a new thread to be created after both sides made summaries, kind of dishonest that the promise wasn't kept
The counter argument being used for the universe having an edge is that it is the edge of the "observable/light part" of the universe and that after that there is an infinite darkness that is infinite in size, but when we see the universe from an outside perspective we see no greater darkness surrounding a light part of it, which would disqualify this said darkness from even being a thing at all, some brought up how we don't see the other dimensions of the macrocosm, but since they are other dimensions they would be in other planes of existance and wouldn't be seeable from an outside perspective, plus the model used to say that they would be seeable is never used in the dbz manga and dbs anime so the series depiction takes precedence over it anyway,
it says
that it is talking about any observable universe in place of the entire universe, and we have no reason to believe that it is talking about an specific part of it, which is further corroborated by the fact that the whole point of bulma wanting to go to the center of the universe in the first place was to be able to scan the entirety of space to search for the super dragon balls
the statement itself never specified
Dude stop bringing Brazilian scans everytime, they have no value here, bring only translation from japanese
If the argument is about the darkness being the infinite thing, then why are we bringing scans about the supposed "observable universe"?
That is also a valid point i feel

Put me down for agreement on at least infinite size universes fod Toei. But I'm neutral about Infinite size for Super.

We accepts Multiverse to be a insignificant 5D space, aka uncountable Infinite, so it's no wonder to look at a edge that is Infinite distance away from outside, alot of verses has been accepted to be Infinite despite looking as it barely contradicts anything.
I've been with firestorm for long, He is in support with the OP or else he has questioned the scans and statements rather than fixing it and don't reply to anything. He agrees.
