Concepts in Dragon Ball Heroes

The purpose of this page is to explain the existence of concepts in Dragon Ball Heroes multiverse
==Basic Terminology==
Before we go to the explanation, first we should establish some basic terminologies of the verse so it will be easier to recognize them when we get to the main explanation itself.
#The basis of Time Power is a special energy in the verse, this energy has no official name, but is stated to give birth to Time, space-times/timelines, histories, dimensions and the multiverse, so we can just call it Time Energy, or Temporal Energy since the energy can create Time
#This Time Energy is stored inside an Egg, called Tokitoki's Egg. This same Egg is also stated to give birth to Time, so Time Energy is also Time
#Tokitoki is God Bird of Time, however in reality, he's actually born from Tokitoki's Egg, the same Egg that stores Time Energy that creates Time, so in a sense Tokitoki is actually the very Time Energy itself, that has the appearance/form of a bird, and since Time Energy is also Time, Tokitoki is Time itself. Later on, Whis, a very knowledgeable character in Dragon Ball, confirmed that the bird is actually Time itself thus further proving what I said
#Time Power users have created something called Time Scrolls to manage the multiverse. The Time Scrolls while appearing physical, are actually confirmed to be Time Power itself, manifested as scroll. Demigra confirmed this by having absorbed the Time Scrolls and acquiring the Time Power Unleashed form, a form that releases all the Power of Time or Time Power, which only Time Power can do. All of this evidence confirms that the Time Scrolls are just a manifestation of Time Power/Time Energy, thus the Scroll itself is actually Time Energy or Time itself that has the appearance/form of a scroll, similar to Tokitoki who also is Time Energy or Time itself, that has the appearance/form of a bird
Conlusion: Time Energy which is the basis for Time Power, gives birth to Time itself, and in turn, both Tokitoki and the Time Scrolls are also Time itself and they are the embodiment of Time Energy
Now that we finally established basic terminologies, it is time for the main explanation
==Conceptual Nature of Time Energy and Time==
Now this section will be the main explanation
I. Time Energy and Time is fundamental for the existence of the multiverse and everything it contains
#Time Energy creates TimeDragon Ball Xenoverse and in turn, creates space-times/timelinesDragon Ball Xenoverse, histories, dimensions, the multiverseDragon Ball Xenoverse. We also know from all the evidence above that Tokitoki and the Time Scrolls are also Time.
#Having Time Energy means possessing Time Power, which is stated to allow users to govern over Time and in turn all physical reality, dimensions
#Time also responsible for existence itself, as with Time Power one can erase Time to erase not only physical reality but also living beings, etc........and restore Time allowing for the restoration of physical reality, and the multiverse and all erased beings who were erased by the erasure of Time
#Tokitoki, who is Time itself and the embodiment of Time Energy, has been stated many times to be an important being responsible for the existence of all dimensions,SDBH BBM Promotional Anime Synopsis who controls all space-times. His existence pretty much makes all dimensions stable as harming him distorts Time, which in turn distorts all space-time, the timestream. His death would bring an end to history and destroy the multiverse
#Similar to Tokitoki, the destruction of Time Scrolls also result in the destruction of physical reality, the multiverse. And in turn, Time Scroll can restore the multiverse with it power
#Time Energy can also give birth to physical reality based on one's desire
II. Time Energy and Time can alter and remove concepts
Time is responsible for the existence of all dimensions, and Time Energy which gives birth to Time can create timelines, the multiverse itself. In these timelines there are dimensions such as the <Subspace>Dragon Ball Guidebook Chouzenshuu 4 - a dimensional world devoid of the concept of time and spaceDragon Ball Guidebook Chouzenshuu 4 and Room of Spirit and Time which having completely different concept of time.Dragon Ball Guidebook Chouzenshuu 4 This means that Time Energy and Time itself are capable of:
#Creating dimensions/realms that are devoid of these concepts; in turn meaning that Time Energy and Time erased/removed these concepts from those dimensions, spaces, realms
#Creating dimensions/realms that having completely different concepts; meaning that Time Energy and Time altered the concepts that govern said dimensions, spaces, realms
III. Time Energy and Time can influence and establish other, lesser fundamental abstracts
#The existence of Time itself is also stated to establish/arrange OrderSDBH Big Bang Mission Manga Chapter 1 (Original Japanese), and control the Law of TimeSDBH Arcade Ultra God Mission 10 Game Abilities. With Time being responsible for all dimensionsSDBH BBM Promotional Anime Synopsis thus meaning Time itself responsible for the Order/Law of physical reality, the multiverse. Order/Law is something that is abstract
#Time also responsible for not just physical reality, but also everything which includes things such as Janemba who is stated to be Evil Ideas given form,V-Jump November 2017Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2V-Jump April 2021V-Jump September 2016V-Jump March 2016V-Jump July 2020V-Jump January 2023V-Jump December 2020Dragon Ball FighterZDragon Ball Xenoverse 2 the living definition of Evil,Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 the personification of Evil,Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 the "mass" of Evil Ideas,DBH Galaxy Mission 2 Card DescriptionDBH Galaxy Mission 3 Card DescriptionDBH Arcade God Mission 5 Card DescriptionDragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X Card DescriptionSuper Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission Card DescriptionSDBH Universe Mission 3 Card DescriptionSDBH Universe Mission 5 Card Description the embodiment of EvilV-Jump February 2021 itself. It is also confirmed by Sealas that Evil itself always existsSuper Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission and in order to get rid of Evil he needs to reform physical reality, reforge all of existence itself from the ground up so that evil itself can no longer exist and proliferate. This means that Evil is a fundamental abstract aspect of physical reality since in order for it to no longer exist Sealas needs to destroy the current world and make a new world without any evil ideas, thoughts and emotions; and Evil is just a creation of Time Power and Time. Sealas also confirmed that if Time Energy and Time were gone, Evil will also be gone with them, thus he could complete his goal of removing Evil from existence, so that he can build a new reality without Evil
#Time Scroll itself also contain written history inside which is text, story, plot, film, also contain timeline's records, data & informations, even abstract beings like Infinite Zamasu who became the very will/thoughts of justice and orderDragon Ball Super Anime Episode 67Dragon Ball Super Toei TimelineOfficial DBS Blu-ray Disk ArtbookDragon Ball Xenoverse 2Dragon Ball Super Anime Episode 67Dragon Ball Super Toei TimelineOfficial DBS Blu-ray Disk Artbook of the timelineDragon Ball Xenoverse 2
Conclusion: All of this pretty much confirms that, despite not directly being stated, Time Energy and Time itself is conceptual in nature, and behaves like a Concept. It gives birth and defines physical reality, distorting it also distorts physical reality, and its destruction will also erase physical reality. Having Time Energy allows for the governing of Time and in turn all dimensions & physical reality. Time Energy and Time are also capable of creating a realm without a concept which means they removed/erased said concept from the realm. They are also responsible for other abstractions that are a part of reality, such as Evil or Order/Law, and are perfectly capable of influencing them, and if Time Energy or Time are gone, these abstractions are also gone with them
==The Type of Concept==
So, from what above, Time Energy and Time should at least fit Type 2, since it shapes and defines all physical reality, dimensions, etc...........However there are more:
From the basic terminologies section we know that:
#Time Energy gives birth to Time, and from Time, everything is established which means Time Energy itself predates everything
#Tokitoki is Time itself and is embodiment of Time Energy, and he is completely unaffected when Dark Shenron's mere presence distort all space-time, or when Demigra performed a similar feat. He is also unaffected when Mechikabura absorbed all histories into himself. Later after Mechikabura along with the multiverse inside him were sealed, Tokitoki with Time Power just restored a new one. Demigra and Chamel in DBH: Ultimate Mission X, their mere presence cause the collapse and destruction of the multiverse, Tokitoki himself is unaffected. However if Tokitoki is harmed or killed, it is the destruction of the multiverse
#Like Tokitoki, the Time Scrolls are also similar as all the distortions or the destruction of all dimensions don't affect them, even the erasure of history that the scrolls contain only leave behind a blank Time Scroll, yet the destruction of a Time Scroll will erase the history it contains, and affecting a Time Scroll also affects the physical reality it contains. Even Sealas stated that in order for him to rebuild history from the ground up, resetting existence itself he needs to erase physical reality by destroying the the Time Scrolls, despite the fact that Sealas too had the power to destroy the multiverse through brute force or his Time Rifts, and he even created his own physical reality. Demigra after absorbing Tokitoki and gaining Time Power decided to destroy current reality by destroying the Time Vault and the Time Scrolls in it to completely erase all reality so he can make a new one, yet even after the destruction of all reality, a Time Scroll is completely fine and still functions, bringing the Future Warrior back to the period before all history was erased
#Lesser fundamental abstracts, such as Evil also similar, not only it being a part of greater concept such as Time, but also completely independent of reality, with Sealas stated that in order for him to get rid of Evil so he can build new history without it, he need to destroy Time Scroll and Time to completely remove Evil, as it is completely useless for him to get rid of Evil without destroy Time Scroll and Time, even though he can create completely new timeline, said timeline still having evil beings because the concept of Evil still govern and influence his newly created timeline, and again creates those beings in it
#Other Time Power users are also similar, they are completely unaffected by the destruction of all dimensions, and can just make new multiverse after destroying the current one
Conclusion: From all those evidences above, we can see that Time Energy and Time predates and is completely independent from the physical reality that they shape, define and influence. This is a Type 1 Concept. And fundamental abstracts like Data, Information, Evil and Order/Law itself is confirmed to be a part of Time, thus they also are Type 1 Concept. And Time Power, is a power with the basis that is Time Energy, give birth to Time, Tokitoki and Time Scroll, will have Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1)
== Fundamental Abstract Layers ==
From all evidences above, we have Time Energy give birth to Time, in turn Time establish lesser abstractions such as Order and Evil, thus the fundamental layer of Concept is:
# Time Energy created Time, and Time itself is dependent on Time Energy, thus Time Energy is more fundamental than Time
# Time in turn established abstracts such as Law/Order and Evil; and Law/Order, Evil in turn is dependent on Time, thus Time is more fundamental than Law/Order and Evil
# Time Energy created Tokitoki and Time Scroll, in turn Time Scroll write history in it as text, story, plot, film, contain their records, data & informations. Erase these fundamental abstracts also erase lesser one such as Evil as Sealas put it, thus these Texts, Data & Informations is more fundamental than Evil
Conclusion: So from above, we have Time Energy/Time Power > Time > Text, Data and Information > Law/Order and Evil
