Gowasu

“	How could you, Zamasu? Your behavior is pathetic. How could a Kai commit such atrocities?	„
	~ Gowasu to Zamasu of his actions and killing the gods.

“	Lord Beerus. I'm sorry for causing you all this trouble. (Beerus: Next time, I suggest you choose your apprentice more carefully, Kai) Yes.	„
	~ Gowasu apologies to Beerus for Zamasu's crimes.

Gowasu is a supporting character in Dragon Ball Super. He is the supreme kai of the tenth universe and Zamasu's former mentor. He is good friends with the Supreme Kai of the 7th universe. He became the Z-Fighters' ally after he was betrayed by his apprentice, Zamasu to bring an end to his twisted views of "justice".

He was voiced by the late Tetsuo Gotō in the Japanese version and by Garrett Schenck in the English dub.

Appearance[]

Gowasu is an elderly Shinjin with light, yellow, wrinkled skin, pointy ears, and white hair in the style of a mohawk flipped to the side. He wears a gray and yellow coat with a violet long-sleeved shirt underneath, a light blue sash, darker blue baggy pants, and white boots. He also wears gold and green Potara, the decoration of the Supreme Kais.

Personality[]

Gowasu is the complete opposite of Zamasu, as he is wise, nurturing, good-natured, caring and understanding because he respects all living things, both good and evil. He believes in watching and caring for the balance of the universe, creating life without interfering directly with it thus being neutral in internal affairs. He could accept the contradictions of reality as a part of cosmic balance, whereas Zamasu held a rigid perfectionism that made him incapable of accepting his mentor's mindset.

Gowasu is also very peaceful and humourous as he likes to make a joke every once in a while, showing he has a sense of humor; he is inherently peaceful, so he believes violence never solves anything in dealing with humans and other mortals as it will only make things worse. Despite Gowasu's wisdom, his own kind nature could make him helpless; he sensed a growing darkness in Zamasu's heart due to the tea he prepared becoming tainted, yet he hoped compassion and knowledge would help his apprentice reach peace, and never even suspected his dignified student would be capable of the most evil actions conceivable.

Gowasu seems to hate hypocrisy as he calls out Zamasu for his cruel and vindictive ways of dealing with mortals over and over again. Gowasu is also quite mild-mannered; in his opinion, murder only causes more pain, sadness and suffering, which is demonstrated when he scolds Zamasu for taking his hatred of mortals (especially humans) way too far as it only leads to more hatred and misfortune. As the Fused Zamasu was corrupted by his unstable existence, Gowasu expressed pity for him because while also condemning the malice of his fallen apprentice, his kindness made him still sentimental enough to feel sympathy for Zamasu.

After Zamasu's death, Gowasu apologizes to Beerus for Zamasu's actions where Beerus tells him to choose his next apprentice very carefully, which Gowasu agreed to. When returning the stolen Time Ring to its box, Gowasu apologised to the erased Zamasu for failing to be a better teacher, reflecting how he felt remorse for Zamasu, even in spite of his fallen apprentice's monstrous deeds, as well reinforcing his sense of duty as he didn't blame Zamasu for falling, but rather considered himself responsible due to being an inadequate teacher.
