There are a lot of super-powered characters in the Dragon Ball saga . Aliens who destroy planets, gods who destroy galaxies, angels who shake the universe... And then there is Zen'ô , this little man with a blue and purple face, resembling an ant. Zen'ô is basically the god of the Dragon Ball multiverse , the Omni-King, and the supreme ruler of all that has been or will be. 🌌
With such a formidable character, it's easy to be impressed. But Zen'ô has the appearance of a gentle child, at least when he's not leaving entire worlds to their fate. In any case, this character with his funny and original appearance will not leave you indifferent, especially during episodes of the Dragon Ball Super series where he makes a few appearances! So to better understand who this random character is, here are 10 facts about Zen'ô, the most powerful being in the Dragon Ball saga!
10. THE MEANING OF THE NAME ZEN’Ô
If you have just arrived in the Dragon Ball Super series, have already seen Zen'ô and are wondering how powerful this guy can be, then his name will give you a clue. But unless you speak Japanese fluently, we will guide you: the name Zen'ô is very similar to the Japanese word Zenno, this word literally means " Almighty " or " King of all " . 👑
So, his name itself already gives you some clues that will lead you to believe that he is not a character from the Dragon Ball saga that is so random, but rather a supreme deity who reigns over the creation of all the universes of anime and manga.
9. THE HIDDEN MESSAGE ON HER OUTFIT
Zen'ô may seem innocent and unconcerned at times, but when it comes to the nature of his position as King of All, he takes it very seriously. As ruler of the Omniverse , Zen'ô 's main goal is to ensure balance, which he displays without the reader/viewer realizing it - unless they can read Japanese. 🥋
Zen'ô 's typical outfit combines a magenta and yellow coat with similarly colored shoes and pants. Under his coat, he wears a black and white shirt with the kanji 全prominently displayed. This translates to the word "All".
Although it is not clear from the surface, Zen'ô 's habit of removing people and universes from existence likely has to do with his desire to manage a perfect Omniverse. He never makes his intentions absolutely clear, but he continues to do his homework, whatever the time.
8. WHAT RESPONSIBILITIES SHOULD HE MANAGE?
As powerful as Zen'ô is, we notice in the anime that he is also a relatively very childish character who gets bored easily. Not really the best candidate to rule the 12 universes huh? 😅
This is why Zen'ô entrusts all his functions to the high priest , who employs a group of angels, who are responsible for training the gods of destruction, who in turn are the superiors of the lesser gods who take care of the daily life and maintenance of all universes. And this is how Zen'ô manages to delegate all responsibilities and spend his time playing and relaxing. 🏐

7. IS ZEN’Ô FILLED WITH WISDOM?
Zen'ô is often described as an immature childish kid but also evil because he would destroy a universe if it was upset by any external event... But later events showed that despite acting like a child, Zen'ô also a strong sense of right and wrong, and he also created thetournament of power in order to be able to test the character of the competitors. 🤯
In the end, Zen'ô counted on the tournament champion using his dying wish to bring back all the destroyed universes, as it would be the only moral thing to do. If the champion had tried to use his wish for a selfish reason, Zen'ô would have destroyed all of reality as punishment, regardless of which universe won the tournament . 🏆
6. IS ZEN’Ô A GOOD FIGHTER?
Zen'ô is perhaps the only important character in the series who is not a real fighter in the sense that he is interpreted in the anime (yes, we still remember that the series is dedicated to fighting !). He has no interest or experience in martial training. He wasn't fast enough to keep up with Dypso 's attacks during the tournament in Dragon Ball Super and sees it as something that entertains him through its drama (the destruction of an entire universe) rather than a test of warrior skill.
It is ironic that the most powerful warriors, gods, and angels with the highest martial training skills are completely helpless against the Omni-King , who can simply make them disappear with the snap of his fingers. 💨 You can also consult our TOP 10 races in Dragon Ball to get an idea of their respective powers.
In any case, don't let his exterior fool you: Zen'ô is not a god to be trifled with. While he won't jump into an arena and trade blows with you, he might as well remove you from existence... POOF! 😅
5. WHAT ARE ITS REAL LIMITS?
With a character so powerful, one who terrifies all who encounter him, even the gods of destruction, it's hard to think that there are any limits to his power. And yet, Zen'ô showed that he wasn't exactly all-powerful. As you read above, he wasn't fast enough to keep up with Dypso's attacks during the Tournament of Power.
Then, after destroying Zamasu and the entire multiverse in the future, Zen'ô was unable to create a new reality and simply existed in limbo until Goku brought him back to the present. That these limitations are due to the fact that Zen'ô has limited abilities or simply because he doesn't care enough to do more, for all intents and purposes they still show the limits of his power 's power. ⏳
4. WHERE DOES ZEN’Ô LIVE?
When you're the king of all the universes in the Omniverse, it's important to live in a place appropriate to your status, right? Zen'ô 's palace does not exist in a particular universe, but rather outside of them all.
Zen'ô 's palace is not only a pretty building, it is shaped like the kanji "全" , which is the same symbol found on his undershirt. This style is a continuation of his overall theme of balance and supremacy and certainly suits him. It is unclear where Zen'ô Palace is located, but given that it exists outside of the 12 universes, its location is not necessarily important. Most importantly, his palace sits on top of a giant jellyfish! It is located somewhere between golden clouds in a space-like setting. ☁️
Wherever he is there, it is far from the normal realms, so it takes two full days for angels traveling at full speed to reach him. The palace floats just above the surface of the jellyfish and is surrounded by 12 stone pillars. Above each of these pillars is a single universe, which effectively places the house of Zen'ô at the center of the Omniverse , with access to each of the 12 universes that surround it. Inside the palace, there is a dark void, lit by a luminous floor and spotted with white pillars spread across the place. 🏠
3. DOES ZEN’Ô HAVE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF VICTIMS?
There are many characters in the Dragon Ball saga who have caused great destruction within the different universes. As examples:
- Cell has killed many powerful warriors.
- Frieza conquered planets and killed millions of people.
- Beerus decimated the civilizations he displeased.
And yet, none of these feats come close to that of Zen'ô , who literally erased all of reality and everything it would contain in the future in an effort to stop Zamasu .

So to summarize the situation for you, while some bad guys count millions or even billions of victims, Zen'ô 's death toll simply includes... Everyone and everything that exists in the future. 🎇
2. IS ZEN’Ô FINALLY SO POWERFUL?
So far we have talked about Zen'ô 's incredible power and not comparable to other villains . And yet, he's still not the most powerful character. This merit actually goes to Tori-Bot, the representation of the creator of the series in the Dragon Ball universe: Akira Toriyama. And for the little anecdote, he is represented with a gas mask because Toriyama has always hated showing his face in public!
Although Tori is mainly used as a supporting illustration in some scenes of the original Dragon Ball, Z, Super and in GT in a bit of a cameo fashion, he is officially the strongest character in Dragon Ball. 🥇
Being the creator of the series, he can erase anyone or anything from existence simply by not drawing them or making them die if the urge takes him, including Zen'ô . At the end of the day, Zen'ô is simply a fictional character, while the Tori-Bot will remain the creator of the God of Creation himself. 😇
1. THE MOST LONELY GOD
While Zen'ô dictates fear and respect to all those who meet him, we can understand that it is difficult for him to make friends who are not afraid of finding themselves disintegrated for the slightest misunderstanding. His level of supremacy in the Omniverse makes him effectively unknown to lower life forms such that almost no one even knows he exists. This is why Zen'ô loves Goku so much, because he is the only one who treats him like a friend instead of an inaccessible god-king. 💟
It was made clear in the Dragon Ball Super series that Zen'ô led a very solitary life and simply longed for companionship and entertainment. This is in many ways the purpose of the Tournament of Power, which he created for entertainment and to help him meet the strongest champions the universes have to offer. 🎁
CONCLUSION
As the ruler of existence, Zen'ô is above all other beings existing in the 12 universes and throughout time. He will come second after himself, thanks to his future incarnation brought back to the present by Goku, but the two are of equal power. ⚖️
There is no shortage of powerful characters in the Dragonball saga, but even the gods of destruction, the Supreme Kais , Kais and all the inhabitants of the 12 universes pale in comparison to Grand Zen'ô , the Omni-King, the all-powerful . Throughout his over 8 million years sitting on the throne as the king of all reality, Zen'ô played a major role in the formation of the Omniverse.
His penchant for erasing anything that didn't suit him led to the destruction of six entire universes and his future self had no qualms about destroying an entire future timeline. There is not a single being anywhere else in the Omniverse that has this level of power and the very nature of the Omniverse suggests that there never will be. In any case, Zen'ô is, and always will be, the highest being in all the Dragon Ball universes combined, with only his future self being his equal.
