What happens to an angel when they go "inactive"

Post by IntangibleFancy » Thu Aug 24, 2017 11:09 pm

I get that something prevents them from interfering after the GoDs die, but what actually happens to their bodies?

Nothing seems to happen to their bodies after their GoD dies, so there's probably a law preventing them from interfering, just like there's a law preventing them from tampering with time.

Maybe they lose their special powers? Like an inactive Whis would be unable to turn back time?

Maybe they return on where they came from. They could live in a special realm that we never saw before.

I figured they just disappear and then reappear when there's a new Hakaishin.

I figured they would go to sleep or something. Too bad we haven't seen the U9 and U10'S angels after their respective universes have been destroyed.

We did, and they were fine. Mojito's smirks and Cus being sad happened after their Universes were destroyed.

Yeah but I figured they would have a few minutes before they become inactive.

Whis wouldn't be so cheerful if he were to go inactive, when he told them the Angels are safe before the Tournament started. Same with Vados, she wouldn't be teasing Champa.

Inactive might as well mean they don't need to serve anyone anymore.

If there is a Dragon Ball equivalent of "limbo", I would imagine the inactive angels would go there.

I think they return to their realm, where there are more of their kind.

Yes, but angels aren't erased with the universe they're attending as we've seen in ToP, probably because they're not from any universe but instead are from an angelic realm, similar to the demonic realm.
