Overview
Zeno’s attendant and the father of the angels, including Whis (ep 0003 00:17:06; ep 0004 00:08:02). Narration ranks him one of the four strongest in the multiverse (ep 0003 00:17:25). He knocked out Ultra Vegito in one blow and branded him “godkiller” (ep 0003 00:17:17–00:17:56). Watching Vegito through a crystal wall — his first appearance since he knocked Vegito out — he asks Zeno how long to let “this circus” go on; Zeno says not yet (ep 0021 00:30:44–00:31:39). Cognac says he handcrafted every angel (ep 0021 00:24:11–00:24:18). He is Dai, son of Akobel and Rani and younger brother of Lucif (ep 0156 00:26:50; ep 0175 00:07:46). Erased when Zeno died (ep 0102), he turned up alive in the demon realm as an Arch Angel, was absorbed by Vegito (ep 0166), and as of ep 0257 lives inside Vegito with archangel eyes (ep 0257 00:09:32–00:16:14).
