The Multiverse



The Multiverse is a concept introduced by the Vargas in the beginning of DBM. It was apparently first discovered by the Vargas in Universe 1, and only them. The Multiverse is a metaphysical term describing the assortion of random universes that form countless other realities, twenty of which appear in the story of DBM. No other appearances of universe-crossing technology have appeared with the possible exception of Universe 12.

In most universes, it appears that there is or was some form of Kai-based heirarchy. Whether these Kais or Kaioshins survived, the universes constantly develop with either the Saiyan, Frost Demon, Majin, or Namekian races existing at some point in time, and these 4 races often have frequent involvement with the fate of the universe.

The Vargas are confronted by the Kaioshins of their world who believe that the universes should remain closed, but the Kaioshins agree to a single event across these worlds - a tournament. Between 20 different universes composed of the strongest beings that the Vargas could find; a tournament in which the Dragon Balls and their wishes would become the prize.

While many universes are similar, quite a few are drastically changed by a single event or focus on different people. For instance, in Universe 15, the strongest fighter is apparently a baby named I'K'L.
