'''Dium''' is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'' and its companion manga series written by [[Toyotarō]]. Dium makes his debut in [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 90]], broadcast on '''14 May 2017''' on [[Fuji TV]], as a member of the [[Universe 10]] team.

==Biography==
Dium is able to fly freely through the sky like a bird. In the [[Tournament of Power]], he is thrown off-balance and knocked out of the ring, his wings cut by [[Kuririn]]'s ''[[Kienzan]]''.<ref name="Kagari">{{Cite web|URL=http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/dragon_s/chara/chapter4/no10.html|Website=Toei Animation|Title="Universe 10"|AccessDate=20 October 2017}}<br>{{Cite web|URL=https://redd.it/77mqzm|Website=Reddit|Title="Tournament of Power: Toei Website Profiles"|Date=20 October 2017}}</ref><ref name="ep99">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=99}}</ref>

==Tournament of Power==

Dium is recruited for the [[Tournament of Power]] by [[Rumoosh]], the [[God of Destruction]] of [[Universe 10]]. As the leader of the team, [[Mulithim]] introduces the otherwise-hooded members including Dium to his [[Kaiōshin]] [[Gowasu]], demonstrating their dedication to a regular protein intake in order to build strength.<ref name="ep90">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=90}}</ref>

The [[Angel]] [[Kusu]] leads the team in a dance to foster team unity, while Gowasu records. He plans to upload it as a video entitled "Us Dancing" on [[GodTube]], and hopes it will get a lot of views.<ref name="ep91">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=91}}</ref>

The team is next seen when they are transported to the [[World of Void]] by the [[Great Priest]]. When [[Whis]] explains to the [[Universe 7]] team that they will not be able to fly, and [[Goku]] verifies that he cannot, [[No. 17]] notices Dium and his teammate [[Rylibeu]] flying.<ref name="ep96">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=96}}</ref> The Great Priest later explains that warriors with wings are allowed to fly.<ref name="ep97">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=97}}</ref>

Dium finds an opportunity to sneak-attack [[Kuririn]], shooting a fireball from his mouth. Kuririn freezes, but [[Gohan]] appears in front of him and catches Dium's attack, transforming it into a counterattack which Dium barely dodges. Gohan tells Kuririn that there is no need for them to get in unnecessary fights; as long as one of them makes it to the end, they will win. Dium thinks that Gohan is mocking him, so he dives toward the [[Universe 7]] group in anger. [[Piccolo]] argues that they can still take out anyone who attacks them, throwing off his cape just before Dium attacks with another mouth blast. The group scatters, and Dium follows Kuririn, forcing him to dodge with rapid fire blasts. Kuririn thinks that even though Beerus told him to avoid fights and concentrate on survival, he should take out other fighters when he has the chance. He attacks Dium with a triple ''[[Kienzan]]'', clipping Dium's wing, while the [[Turtle Hermit]] follows up with a [[Kamehameha]], forcing Dium out of the arena. Rumoosh punishes Dium by bashing his head with his trunk, and Dium apologizes.<ref name="ep99"/>

On the sidelines, Dium and the other eliminated male members of the Universe 10 team are enthused by the transformations of [[Universe 2]]'s [[Maiden Squadron]].<ref name="ep102">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=102}}</ref>

After the elimination of [[Obni]], Universe 10 is erased.<ref name="ep103">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=103}}</ref> When [[No. 17]] uses the [[Super Dragon Balls]] to restore all of the destroyed universes, Dium is seen with his teammates and [[Gowasu]] in the [[Kaiōshin realm]] of Universe 10.<ref name="ep131">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=131}}</ref>

==Name==
Dium's name is likely derived from the ''-dium'' suffix used for various chemical elements. This pun follows the theme of [[Universe 10]] warriors being named after elements of the periodic table.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/sailorspazz/status/894609621989576704|Website=Twitter|Title=@sailorspazz|Date=7 August 2017}}</ref>

==Production==

In [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 90]], the [[Universe 10]] team appears hooded, with the exception of [[Mulithim]]. They remain hooded in [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 91|Episode 91]], suggesting that their designs had not yet been finalized when animation began on these episodes, though by Episode 91, Dium's wings can be seen through the sleeves of his robe.

==Performance==
Dium is voiced by [[Naoki Tatsuta]], the voice of [[Oolong]]. Tatsuta also took over narration and the voice of [[Kaiō]] when [[Jōji Yanami]] became ill. In the [[FUNimation]] dub, Dium is voiced by [[John Burgmeier]], a scriptwriter who is best known as the voice of [[Tenshinhan]].
