Being erased really isnt that bad.

[Euoplocephalus]

It would just be like you never existed. You woudnt feel any pain or anything.

[Kanious]

yeah, it is like dying in real life. You'll never know that you even existed or died, so there won't be a "you" to care.

but it is sad on anime, as normally on DB when they die they go to the other world and continue existing...

[Lord Beerus]

When did Zeno join Kanzenshuu?

[Anime Kitten]

It doesn't really matter if you feel pain, the point is you cease to exist completely. As far as we know, your soul is erased with your body, which means no afterlife - i.e. no existence.

That's far more terrifying than being killed if you ask me!

[Ki Breaker]

Alright, speak up, are you the left zeno or the right..

[Whatever]

Sure its not that bad if you don't mind non existence.

If they don't exist at all anywhere, how will they be brought back to life?

[precita]

Think about the time before you were born, you did not exist. It's hard to believe literally trillions of years went by in real life before any of us came to existence. And then even after the Earth was formed we still had to do through 100 million years of Dinosaurs, then the extinction to when humans shared an ancestor with apes, then cavemen, then everything that happened from then till now.

Humans have existed for around 200,000 years only at the most. Then think back to everything before that to the very creation of the universe itself. It's absolutely insane to think of how small a timeframe humans are on this existence, about 80 years and that's it.

[Grimlock]

If they don't exist at all anywhere, how will they be brought back to life?

They won't. But if plot demands them to be back, they will.

[Rory]

You also don't have to experience Dragon Ball Super anymore.

[Duo]

Good or bad, the Omni King shouldn't erase universes because that will lead to fewer participants in future tournaments, especially considering how much stronger some of them would become. It would be like killing every team in the NFL except the winners of the Super Bowl.

[Chuquita]

The thing is it's not just those fighting that get erased, it's their entire universes. Say if it were just the teams themselves who get erased; even though they'd be gone they'd still have been able to leave behind something for the people they cared about. You leave behind your offspring, or your wealth, or the good you've incurred in your time alive (the students/patients/audiences/colleagues) who you've impacted. Even though they'll eventually die too, your impact will ripple through history in ways that future generations may not even realize. Many people grow up living in places that they only grow up living in because decades or hundreds of years ago a relative of theirs they've never met decided they were going to leave their home and travel to a new place.

I realize that, in the long run we're all dead, but the harshness of the Omni Kings erasing an entire universe in one swoop instead of allowing time itself and people to make their own choices really bothers me.

[Cetra]

It is not like dying in real life because we have no idea if there really is non-existence. That's the biggest reason why humans are so afraid of dying. Being afraid of the possibility that there is nothing and not being sure. For Dragon Ball it is actually known.

[AnimeNation101]

to know you'll be erased is worse than it actually happening. Its the thought that you won't exist, remember you existed, and that you didn't finish your goals in life that is really the most painful

In reality, when the Universal characters get wished back it would to them be as if instead of being erased, they were transported to after the wish was made since they wouldn't feel the time they've been erased go by

[Saturnine]

The worst thing about nonexistence is jealousy that others get to continue existing. If your entire universe gets erased and everyone in it, you can at least take solace in the fact that everyone is going at the same moment.

[IntangibleFancy]

What actually happens to you? Is it pitch black? A colorful void (like future Trunks' timeline after it got Zeno'd) or is it like some sort of shadow realm?

[TekTheNinja]

Nothingness. There is no 'you' left.

Think about the time before you were born. You obviously can't because you didn't exist. Same here.

They say it's the same thing when you're dead. You don't even know that you're dead because your brain who's responsible for that realization stops functioning. It's not pitch black either, because your brain who's responsible for processing colours is obviously gone. It's a dreamless sleep I guess. It's one of mankind's greatest questions about life, and it's an inevitable reality for everyone. The only people who suffer are your loved ones.

Ugh, so depressing. But I'm Muslim and believe in the afterlife so I'm not part of that group, but they do exist.

But the Zeno's erasing should bother people because they don't value life and they can do whatever they want.

[Pluto]

What an utter ningen dogma perspective.
