Zamasu

Zamasu is the tragic, narcissistic Supreme Kai apprentice from Universe 10 whose descent into divine madness sparked the most devastating conflict in Dragon Ball Super's history. A prodigy of the Kai hierarchy with combat power exceeding even the Supreme Kais of fully realized universes, Zamasu was consumed by a single obsession: mortal life was a cosmic mistake that defiled the gods' creation, and true justice required its complete eradication.Zamasu is the tragic, narcissistic Supreme Kai apprentice from Universe 10 whose descent into divine madness sparked the most devastating conflict in Dragon Ball Super's history. A prodigy of the Kai hierarchy with combat power exceeding even the Supreme Kais of fully realized universes, Zamasu was consumed by a single obsession: mortal life was a cosmic mistake that defiled the gods' creation, and true justice required its complete eradication. His hatred crystallized after witnessing the endless cycles of violence during a visit to a primitive planet, and his sense of divine superiority was only reinforced by his combat training under Gowasu, the gentle Supreme Kai of Universe 10 who tried and failed to guide his student away from extremism. Zamasu's schemes unfolded across multiple timelines with terrifying precision: he murdered Gowasu and stole his Potara earrings and Time Ring, used the Super Dragon Balls to swap bodies with Goku — becoming Goku Black, a god wearing a Saiyan's face — and recruited an alternate-timeline version of himself to form an immortal partnership sealed by the Potara fusion into Fused Zamasu, a being of such corrupted divine power that his very existence began to merge with the fabric of the universe itself. When half of his body proved mortal and decaying, his immortal half refused to die, instead becoming Infinite Zamasu, a cosmic infection spreading across the entire multiverse that required Zeno himself to erase the timeline entirely.
