Dragon Ball Super. The One Above Omni King Zeno.

In Dragon Ball Super Episode 83, in a special match approved by Zeno himself, Goku fights the leader of the pride troopers, Toppo, but before the epic Clash could get a winner the match gets stopped. You would think only Zeno himself could call that match off, since he is the one who approved it, and he was enjoying it so much, but it gets directly stopped by The Great Priest, it was his call, he did that without even asking for permission.

He did check in with Zeno afterwards, and Zeno seemed ok with it, but then again he never says no to anything. This also implies that The Great Priest either knew Zeno would not do anything dangerous to him or Zeno cannot do anything dangerous with him.

The bottom line is, Priest stopped the match first by his decision. Also, almost all the announcements of the tournament is given by him, now we wonder how much influence he had over those decisions. Could all these be subtle hints that The Great Priest is above Zeno?

Who is this Great Priest, he is like the head of the Angels right? Whis called him father, we don’t know if he is connected like that with all other angels too.

In the anime, Whis says The Great Priest or The Grand Priest is one of the top 5 strongest fighters in existence. However, in the manga he specifically says that The Priest is the strongest, but most probably Zeno is not considered. He is above this kind of comparison or can’t even be considered as a fighter.

So, like The Great Priest is in the top of the Angel hierarchy you could say, what about Zeno?

He surely is not off the Angel kind, but could be ranked in the God kind. So, since we put The Great Priest in the top of the Angel kind we could say Zeno is the top of The God of Destruction Kind. Maybe that’s why he is into destruction so much, while The Gods of Destruction takes care of planetary level destruction, he takes cares of Universal level of destruction. Like, previously there was 18 Universes but he destroyed 6 for reasons unknown.

In a different manner, he has another similarity with Gods of destruction, that he is prone to do things that might not make much sense, contrary to The Great Priest whose actions would probably be more sensible. Much like how Beerus and Champa are kept in control by Whis and Vados. In fact, one of the major duties of these Angels is to stop them when they go out of line. Maybe, The Great Priest can or will do something similar.

Currently, Dragon Ball Super is implying that Zeno is higher than The Priest or any other being for that matter. Remember when we first saw Beerus? It looked like Whis was his assistant or something.

Only when we saw Whis one shot Beerus, we realized he is the real deal. Case could be similar here too.

Also, throughout the series the angels are being portrayed to be mightier and more important than Gods. Even take this tournament for example; The Angels will be the only ones to get spared when the losing Universes get destroyed.

If you go by this principle, and make it very simple, that Angels are always higher than Gods. Then, you know The Great Priest is an Angel, and Zeno is a God. So do the math.

Perhaps Zeno was even selected for the role of The God of Everything by The Great Priest. As we see , Angels have the authority to pick Gods of Destruction. Whis directly offered Vegeta to become one, and even Beerus is aware about it. Zeno might not be as easily replaceable or will be destroyed randomly, but yet at one point he was picked by The Great Priest.

The concept here could be that, The Priest felt that destruction can never be done in a sensible manner. So he chose a creature that would do it randomly, in an unexplainable manner, and just like other Angels he is there all the time, to keep it thing in control, and can stop Zeno if things gets out of hand.

So according to this theory, The Great Priest has more authority than Zeno, that is he is the one above Zeno. If this comes true, it would really be one of the biggest twists ever.

Having said all that, I just want to remind you all that it’s just a theory. Most likely that’s not true, and even though I think The Great Priest being the one above is a legit possibility that’s still highly unlikely. I just shared this theory, because I find it interesting.
