I was gonna give a longer reply but Zamasu gave me the opportunity to shorten my comment.
The reply to this would be "B-but the Daizenshuu said that there are 4 galaxies".
That is also not true. Sorry if this sounds repetitive but it's important.
The Daizenshuu 7 itself states that the "NWES Galaxy/Galaxies" are just denominations of areas and not literal galaxies. This is also present in the raws.
The four Kaiou who rule over the east, west, south, and north [sections] of the universe actually govern these galaxies.
Because the Kami in the Heavenly Realm and the Kaiou supervise the galaxies that exist infinitely in all the universe, the sections known as the East, West, South, and North Galaxies are denominations that came into use through their duty.
And about Herms :
Herms initially leaves space to the "4 galaxies" interpretation as in 4 galaxies in the literal sense. But he was already doubting this.
perhaps "Area" is the more accurate term that the Kaio use when talking among themselves (like with North and South Kaio), while "galaxy" is a more descriptive term they use when talking to the universe's inhabitants (like with North Kaio and the Great Elder)?
Herms here already brought up the possibility of the "NEWS Galaxies" being just denominations. Although he never confirmed anything. So this ain't evidence against the Daizenshuu. Rather it vaguely supports it.
But then, in his fan guide...
These 4 galaxies serve as the governing areas for the gods, and so each one is overseen by the corresponding Kaio and Kaioshin. In fact, Daizenshuu 7 says that the "galaxies" of DB are merely administrational units used by the gods, and so there's nothing stopping races from travelling from one galaxy to another, provided they have the technology to do so. So basically, these "galaxies" don't have much reality as physical divisions, and are sort of like the boarders between countries. It's not clear what significance the cardinal directions could have in space, but the map of the DB world shows what appear to be division lines between galaxies engraved into the living world's outer walls, so that might have something to do with it.
Herms brings up the Daizenshuu, and he himself admits that the "NEWS galaxies" are just denominations/units used by the gods to supervise the various areas of the universe, which is filled with actual galaxies.
Also I wanna bring up the fact that Herms mentions that Toriyama's map of the universe says that the universe is splitted along the 4 cardinal directions, and not in "4 galaxies".
So no, Herms never supported the "Daizenshuu said the universe is splitted into 4 literal galaxies". This was just the result of scans that have been taken out of context.

Herms said that? Wonder why AKM didn’t bring it up.

Bro. Herms brought up possibilities. And later said that the Daizenshuu goes with one of those possibilities. That being of 4 galaxies. The cardinal directions is referring to North, East, West, and South since that's the basis of division.
"So basically, the series itself establishes the each Kaio rules the galaxy/galaxies of a cardinal direction, and that there are also “Areas” corresponding to the cardinal directions involved somehow. Toriyama’s map of the DB world labels the universe as being divided up along the 4 cardinal directions, but says nothing of galaxies or "Areas". Essentially there are two possibilities: that there are 4 galaxies (NSEW) that are also called “Areas”, or there are 4 Areas (NSEW), that contain many galaxies. The guidebooks all go with the first option (when they don’t just leave the whole thing as vague as the manga, that is): Daizenshuu 7 twice says that there are 4 galaxies. DBZ Son Goku Densetsu and the Super Exciting Guide: Character Volume both say so too. "
He blatantly says that the guidebooks go with the interpretation that there are 4 galaxies, which are also the 4 areas, named after directions. What is so hard to understand. This requires basic comprehension.

Where is it stated? I don't see such a statement anywhere. If you're saying the original manga implied there being only 4 galaxies based on King Kai's statement, then that just means DBS retconned it. And the statements in Daizenshuu about there being 4 galaxies are also in support of that, while the other ones are contradictory. You just ended the debate. Thank you.
- 8,828
- 9,437
“Northern worlds” is still a term they use in DBS. Where’s the retcon?
You also completely ignore what Otto wrote about Herms:
perhaps "Area" is the more accurate term that the Kaio use when talking among themselves (like with North and South Kaio), while "galaxy" is a more descriptive term they use when talking to the universe's inhabitants (like with North Kaio and the Great Elder)?

Literally ignored most of my comment, but oh well.

This tells us nothing except that the 4 galaxies can also be called 4 areas. A galaxy being referred to as an area in a universe is the same as calling a country an area on our planet.
At this point I will just wait for LordGriffin to say what he wanted to say.

My fault OG. Titles like the north are still shown to be relevant.
Then you’re asserting that for all of Z they meant 4 galaxies. Like I said nothing contradictory at all. If the manga calls them galaxies, whatever. The daizenshuu also calls them galaxies but explains they’re infinitely expanding and hundreds of millions of light years.
Describing the characteristics of a galaxy that don’t match with real galaxies isn’t a contradiction.
That’s like saying King Kai calling his planet a “planet” is a contradiction because it’s so small. Do stop the name fallacy.

Sorry it took me so long but I had some other stuff to do but before I had some stuff to do.
Anyway, does anyone remember where the Universe 6 vs Universe 7 tournament took place? Was it near the edges of both universes?

In the manga it says that the tournament will be held in the neutral zone.
And it takes 2 hours and 10 minutes flying there from Beerus' planet. (It takes 35 minutes to fly between Earth and Beerus' planet)
So if it really is in between their Universes, then it is definitely not an infinite distance away.

In the neutral space between universes. An area not belonging to either u6 nor u7.

Both Beerus and Whis takes ample time to reach finite distance (nebulas, his planet to Earth, etc)
- 8,828
- 9,437
Beerus’s planet is farther away than the realm of the Kai.
- 15,449
- 11,398
So in the scene of Super Shenron's summoning (1:20). Is that his light expanding between both universes, or are those just two galaxies? Because if those are the universes 6 and 7 from the outside look they aren't infinite.
- 8,852
- 5,688
Every single time that whis went traveled, he never went full speed. The only ever time he did go full speed was when he traveled the fastest he's ever gone from beerus' place to earth which is a greater distance than the realm of kai like zamasu said (which should be infinite).

Beerus' planet is only across the universe from Earth, no?
- 8,852
- 5,688
No it location in the macrocosm is never confirmed and Goku can't teleport from it to earth easily but he can do it from the earth to the supreme kai realm which is outside the living world.
- 30,171
- 25,538
Apparently it is in the living world, not the Other World, but the exact location is unknown. At least according to the Chouzenshuu 1 it seems.
It's really looking like the Dragon Ball universe is not infinite.

People are talking as if the fate of the thread has already been decided. How ironic.

Narration once described Beerus’ world as “across the universe” relative to a point in the living world

Scan me. I find that a contradiction as the offical manga has Goku claiming in the most recent chapter that he's lucky that whis is "in this realm" who was in the living world implying that beerus' world is in another dimension.
- 8,828
- 9,437
I pointed this out a while ago. Those are just dimensional walls.
Other side of the universe isn’t a contradiction when the universe is infinite

I don't have the scans of that databook. I was going off of the DB Wiki which attributes a reference to that databook.
Possible, but Whis goes to other places besides Beerus' planet. Goku could just be grateful that he's in the Universe and not off at Angel's place, or another Universe.
- 5,683

The Super Dragon Balls are stated to be found between universe 6 and 7....
Both are in the "border" of the Universe.
So yeah, it should
It shouldn't have other "side" of the Universe if it's truly Infinite, no?I pointed this out a while ago. Those are just dimensional walls.
Other side of the universe isn’t a contradiction when the universe is infinite
I mean, something infinite shouldn't have one side, becouse it's eternal and never ending.
- 8,852
- 5,688
I know, but I've never actually seen a scan about that.
He never goes anywhere else except beerus planet and other planets in the living world for food. That's the only places he actually visits and the other universes and zeno's place are only destinations he goes with beerus for specific goals that are not relevant in this example.
It can have a border if it's sealed by dimenional walls which are 4D.
- 8,828

Y’all confuse infinity in real life and infinity in fiction a lot and it shows.
If a character covers an infinite distance than they reached the end of their infinite journey. How else do you expect characters to reach their destination with infinite distance?
- 5,683
- 3,210
That's a heavy speculation you know?
I don't think that assuming that those are "dimensional walls" is the safest assumption. I mean, given how universes in DBS are represented as spherical things with a big galaxy showing up iirc. And yellowish light between those were the Super Dragon Ball's shine
- 8,852
- 5,688
It's literally stated in the guide books that the marcocosm realms are hermetically sealed from each other and different dimensions fillet mignon.

If a character covers an infinite distance than they reached the end of their infinite journey. How else do you expect characters to reach their destination with infinite distance?
But I don't think that applying the word "fiction" is the solution for the argument.
For example: In DB there is no oxygen in outer space, the same as ours, Gravity exists and works like in our world too iirc, etc...
Also, knowing that DB universe is "based" on ours.
- 8,828
- 9,437
Nah this is a basic concept. You just don’t seem to understand it. Infinite speed characters are that fast because they reached the end of infinity.
- 5,683
- 3,210
I mean, yeah I understand it, but you said that we are confusing infinity in real life and in fiction, although our ratings are based in real life physcs iirc, or at least that's what they told me.
- 8,828

Ok. I see your particular misunderstanding. My point still stands tho.I mean, yeah I understand it, but you said that we are confusing infinity in real life and in fiction, although our ratings are based in real life physcs iirc, or at least that's what they told me.

Why is that a point? In what universe does the order which an information is delivered has any weight on how valid said information is? It doesn't.
Yakon proves there is darkness beyond the observable universe.
Daizenshuu adds to that, stating the said darkness, which was already presented in the show, does in fact exist, and is infinite in size.
Chouzenshuu doubles down on that information in 2013.
Dragon Ball Super says there are other universe beyond U7 macrocosm.
NOTHING contradicts Yakon, or retcons it. The fact the darkness was proven to exists before it was actually stated to be infinite is NOT AN ARGUMENT to say it's invalid. The order of factors does not change the product.
Arceus, I've been catching up with this thread for the past hour, and this particular point drove me nuts.

People talking about infinite speed already. Actually there are two instances of infinite speed, Goku SSBKKx10 intercepted Hit in the middle of his timeskip which somehow deemed as outlier, and then Super Shenron feat in the last episode where he appeared in 11 universes at the same time.
At this point i'm convinced that peoples watching Dragon Ball to downplay it

"somehow"? At the time, it made sense.
A character constantly shown to be MFTL+ is suddenly "infinite"? It is an outlier, it is INFINITELY an outlier. I'm pretty sure we have a filter for outliers, with a set of questions, and at the time, Goku's infinite feat checked all the marks.
Also, context, Goku said, due to Kaioken x10, he was beyond the time skip, implying it was through sheer power (much like Jiren), and it's illogical.
"x10 my speed = infinite speed"
That'd mean Blue Goku has infinite speed and should just go through the timeskip with sheer speed, the multiplier blantantly creates circular scaling.

The hell does it always gotta be downplay? There was a legitimate reason we did not give Goku infinite speed.
