Zamasu-Dragon Ball Super

ByNawaz Yaqub

Introduction

Zamasu is one of the most complex and philosophically driven villains in the Dragon Ball Super series. A former Supreme Kai apprentice of Universe 10, Zamasu undergoes a dark transformation—from a righteous god-in-training to a universal threat bent on mortal extinction. His radical ideology, fusion with Goku’s body (Goku Black), and eventual transformation into Fused Zamasu make him a uniquely dangerous and memorable antagonist.

Who Is Zamasu?

Zamasu was a Kaiōshin (Supreme Kai) apprentice from Universe 10, serving under Gowasu. Despite his immense potential, he grows disillusioned with the actions of mortals, perceiving them as corrupt, violent, and unworthy of the gift of life. His belief that mortals are the root cause of universal chaos leads him down a radical path of divine justice known as the Zero Mortals Plan.

Rather than guiding mortals toward peace, Zamasu chooses annihilation. This descent into fanaticism turns Zamasu into one of the most philosophically disturbing villains in Dragon Ball history.

Powers and Abilities

Divine Ki

As a god, Zamasu possesses Divine Ki, granting him energy control far beyond most mortals. His energy cannot be sensed by normal beings and enhances all of his techniques.

Immortality

Zamasu uses the Super Dragon Balls to make himself immortal. This makes him invulnerable to death, allowing him to survive any physical attack or destruction, though it doesn’t make him invincible in battle.

Energy Blades

Zamasu’s signature weapons are Ki blades formed from divine energy. They are sharp enough to slice through powerful enemies and can be used in close or ranged combat.

Teleportation and Portal Creation

Zamasu can teleport and create energy portals across dimensions and timelines, making him a multidimensional threat.

Impact on Manga Fans

Zamasu’s saga marks a high point in Dragon Ball Super for:

  • Complex ideology-driven villainy.
  • A fusion of theological, moral, and action storytelling.
  • Philosophical themes not seen with other villains.

He redefined what it meant to be a Dragon Ball villain, not just in power, but in ideological conviction.

Final Thoughts

Zamasu is not just a powerful antagonist, he is a god corrupted by purpose. From a Supreme Kai apprentice to an immortal tyrant, his arc in Dragon Ball Super explores justice, morality, and the consequences of divine absolutism.
