Exploring the Morality of the Grand Priest in Dragon Ball Super

Throughout the series, many Dragon Ball Super fans have pondered whether the Grand Priest is a benevolent or malevolent character. This speculation largely stems from his actions during the Tournament of Power arc, in which he holds a significant role as the father of the Angels and the most trusted aide to Zeno. Given his immense power and influence over the multiverse, his moral alignment is a crucial factor to consider.

The current state of the anime suggests that there has not been much emphasis placed on the Grand Priest. Therefore, it is difficult to determine whether he is good or evil, especially since the story has not required him to take action. However, it should be noted that throughout the Dragon Ball Super series, the Grand Priest’s alignment has never been explicitly revealed.

It cannot be denied that many fans are eager to witness the character’s full potential and see more of his abilities.

Please note that this article includes spoilers for the series.

Is the Grand Priest morally good or evil?

The Grand Priest’s unwavering loyalty to Zeno’s will is evident through his constant indulgence of the powerful ruler’s desires without hesitation. This behavior reinforces the idea that he prioritizes maintaining order in the multiverse above all else.

Additionally, the character has not actively participated in any major story arcs, with his most significant impact on the plot being the construction of the arena for the Tournament of Power. Throughout Super, the Grand Priest has mostly remained as a bystander and as of now, there are no indications of this changing in the foreseeable future.

The Grand Priest plays the crucial role of being the most faithful servant to Zeno, the ruler of the multiverse, and the acknowledged father of the Angels in each universe. He is also responsible for maintaining the hierarchy and making most of the decisions in the story, as Zeno is known for his childlike behavior.

There has been speculation that he may also serve as a mentor to Zeno, similar to how each Angel trains a potential God of Destruction. However, this is currently just a theory among fans and has not been addressed by Dragon Ball Super regarding the Grand Priest’s connection to the most powerful being in the multiverse.

Many followers of Dragon Ball Super wondered whether the Grand Priest was a malevolent or benevolent character, as his serious and foreboding appearance in certain scenes during the Tournament of Power arc sparked speculation. Despite theories that he may have had a hidden agenda for the elimination of certain universes, this was not the case in the arc’s storyline.

Despite fan speculation, there is currently no evidence in the story to suggest that Frieza was involved in a coup against the two Zenos. While there is nothing to indicate that the Grand Priest is evil, there is also no indication of his goodness.
