===Zen Exhibition Match===
[[File:bio-ea-top-design.png|thumb|150px|Ea's character design for the [[Tournament of Power]].<ref name="bio"/>]]
When the [[Great Priest]] informs the gods of each universe about the upcoming [[Tournament of Power]], he invites them to attend the [[Zen Exhibition Match]] to sate the curiosity of the [[Omni-King]] from the future, who has never seen a martial arts tournament. The Great Priest creates an arena in a void that appears to be located beneath the Omni-King's palace, and then brings in the gods from all the other universes to observe the match. Ea is in attendance with [[Mosco]] and [[Camparri]], the [[God of Destruction]] and [[Angel]] of [[Universe 3]].<ref>{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=78|}}</ref>

When the Great Priest informs the gods that losing universes will be destroyed in the Tournament of Power, Ea is shocked. [[Bergamo]] of [[Universe 9]] makes a speech denouncing [[Son Goku]] for his role in making the tournament happen. He asks the Omni-Kings to reconsider their plans if he wins his match against Goku, and the Omni-Kings agree. As [[Champa]] boos Goku, Ea asks him who Goku is and why he is so irreverent with the Omni-Kings. Helles also wants to know why they and the Great Priest put up with it. [[Kur]] thinks this is especially difficult to understand considering the low mortal level of [[Universe 7]]. Champa tells them that he does not know; there is a lot about Goku that is difficult to understand.

After the Great Priest explains that the Tournament of Power will be a melee, Ea is perturbed; he cannot believe that the fate of the universes rests on a single fight.<ref name="ep81">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=81|}}</ref>

After the exhibition match is concluded, [[Cae]] hosts a video call meeting of all the [[Kaiōshin]] from the [[Universe 11 Kaiōshin Realm]]. He asks them all to keep the news about the Tournament of Power secret from the inhabitants of their universes. [[Gowasu]] agrees that this is a good idea, but he wonders where [[Shin]] is. Cae explains that he excluded Shin because the tournament was Universe 7's idea. [[Rou]] says that Cae is wasting their time; he is busy trying to find more fighters for the tournament, and he leaves the call. [[Huwa]] yawns ostentatiously, and [[Peru]] admonishes him. The tournament sounds fun, and he is sure that [[Universe 2]] will survive. Ea disagrees; Universe 3 has intellect. Peru says that only [[battle power]] matters. Ea says he cannot stand musclebound idiots. Peru and Ea continue to bicker, and Cae asks them to calm down. [[Kur]] finds their display pathetic.

Cae proposes that they ask the [[Omni-Kings]] to reconsider the tournament; surely if they tell him their consensus opinion, he will give them a reprieve until they can raise their [[mortal levels]] above 7. Ea and Peru think this is foolish; the Omni-Kings have already decided. Kur warns that if the suggestion displeases the Omni-Kings, they could all be erased on the spot. Kur says that he is busy, Huwa yawns again, and Gowasu says he agrees with Kur. The Kaiōshin all leave the call.<ref name="ep85">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=85}}</ref>

==Name==
Ea's name pun is unknown, but many [[Kaiōshin]] appear to have been named after deities, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ea_(Babylonian_god) Ea] (エア/''Ea'')—a water god of Babylonian mythology, also known as "Enki" in Sumerian mythology—is a likely source for his name.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=http://www.kanzenshuu.com/episode/super/universe-survival/characters/|Website=Kanzenshuu|Title="Universe Survival Arc: Character Names & Puns"|AccessDate=01 September 2018}}</ref>

==Performance==
Ea is voiced by [[Makoto Naruse]], a newcomer to ''Dragon Ball'' who also voices [[Murisam]] in the [[Tournament of Power]]. In the [[FUNimation]] dub, Ea is voiced by [[Alfie Coy]] in his first credited role for the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise.
