I mean, Zeno seems to like his other self though. So I dunno why he would make time travel and splitting timelines forbidden.

He could have an orgy of himself. With himself.

Do we know that Zenou doesn't like alternate timelines for definite realsies, though?

He is the kind to make arbitrary rulings for no reason other than because he can, after all.

So far the only actual consequence of alternate timelines he has had any opinion on is more of himself, which is something he seemingly approves of/likes though.

Maybe he doesn't like them just because.

Him not liking them just because is perfectly in line with the whole 'seems to have problems giving a fuck' thing he's got going on.

Or it might have something to do with the fact that he's got the mentality of a child.

I kind of wonder sometimes who actually set up the whole "fuck alternate timelines" rule.

Was it Zeno? Was it Angel Dad? Was it the Supreme Kai of Time? WAS IT THE BIRD ALL ALONG?!

I'm guessing that even Super Shenron can't affect Zen'O. The guy's pretty much omnipotent as far as we've seen.

Not quite. He doesn't seem to know about or care why Majin Buu nearly killed Beerus via killing Supreme Kai, nor did he care when Bulma and Trunks originally splintered the timelines, or when Cell did it.

Heck, Zeno didn't interfere with Zamasu until Goku brought him to the party.

I've been thinking about the Space Survival Arc.

I bet that wild mass guess the promise to "destroy" all the universes was because of the Future Zeno. As far as he's concerned Goku is just some asshole who convinced him the Future Timeline wasn't worth the RAM. The tension will deflate once the other Zeno realizes he'd be deleting Goku and talks Future Zeno out of it.

I said "omnipotent": "all-powerful". People seem to be confusing this for "omniscient": "all-knowing". smile

Although, granted, the former does kind of imply the latter.

Zeno doesn't seem to pay much of an attention to the universes. He didn't even notice or care that Zamasu killed all the supreme kais. He only seems to care about stuff he finds interesting.

Maybe Xanadu didn't know Zeno existed? Shin didn't before the tournament.

He likes Alt. Zeno, but that doesn't mean the guy's existence isn't a huge upheaval in the stability of the Multiverse - for better or for worse.

Shin didn't before the tournament.

Super has made Shin more and more of a neophyte player in the realm of godliness. I mean, he already was well established as a dude well over his head who didn't know anywhere near as much as he should in Z, but it's gotten worse since.

I was hoping he would have more of an impact on the Zamasu arc to counteract this, but meh.

He didn't even notice or care that Zamasu killed all the supreme kais.

He never noticed, but he did care once the enormity of Zamasu's crimes were made evident to him. Stopping that sort of thing seems to be his job, but that doesn't mean he's good at it.

The thing is, The Supreme Kai we know can't be better than he is because unlike everyone else, he had no one to teach him the job. Buu made sure of that. He has no idea what to do and is in way over his head because Buu screwed him five million years ago.

Can't Old Kai just teach Shin the ins and outs of godhood?

Hell, he's basically Roshi as a god, so he's gotta be a good teacher by equivalence.

Actually, Old Kai did point out that Shin never finished his training because his Superiors were killed.

I guess Shin isn't all that different from Zamasu.

It's like it's a Universe 7 thing. Everyone is just woefully incompetent at their job.

I get the feeling that that's exactly what he's doing, but he has no idea what Shin does or does not know, so if Shin missed some basic bit of information, Old Kai can't know that unless it comes up.

Your Welcome. Always good to know I'm awesome.

...Oh, and everyone else too of course.

And yeah, Universe 7 is full of nothing but incompetents and weaklings who are lucky evil keeps making the mistake of pissing Goku off.

The Galactic Patrol is the worst of them. Utterly helpless against Frieza in the long run, and still rather incompetent, but now there's no intergalactic overlord to beat them down if they try anything stupid.
