Cronologia
Biografia
Whis is an Angel of immense power and the dedicated attendant to Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction for Universe 7. Despite appearing as a subservient assistant, he is actually Beerus's martial arts teacher and is significantly more powerful than the deity he serves.
He is characterized by his tall, slender frame, pale blue skin, white hair, and a signature light blue ring that floats around his neck. Whis always carries a magical scepter that serves as a tool for observation, communication, and travel.
His personality is remarkably calm and polite, even when discussing the potential destruction of entire solar systems. He possesses an eccentric nature and an insatiable appetite for new cuisines, often making his training sessions contingent on being provided with Earth's delicacies. While he maintains the neutral stance required of Angels, he has shown a growing sense of pride in his students, Goku and Vegeta, particularly as they master god-tier transformations.
Storia
Whis is the son of the Grand Minister and the younger brother of Vados, the Angel of Universe 6. He was trained by Vados for many years before assuming his role in Universe 7.
His primary duty is to oversee and train the God of Destruction.
Historically, Whis has played the role of a peacekeeper; for instance, he collaborated with Vados to end a destructive battle between Beerus and Champa by suggesting they settle their disputes through food showdowns rather than combat. He has been a silent witness to the history of Universe 7, including the reign of King Vegeta and the eventual destruction of Planet Vegeta by Frieza.
Evoluzione
Whis has evolved from a mysterious, seemingly minor background character into the cornerstone of the modern Dragon Ball power scale. Initially introduced as a mere attendant, his status as Beerus's master fundamentally changed the audience's understanding of the divine hierarchy.
Throughout the Dragon Ball Super era, his role transitioned from a neutral observer to a proactive mentor. This shift is most evident during the Moro and Granolah arcs, where he expresses genuine shame over universal destruction and shows clear investment in Goku's progress. Despite the strict laws governing Angelic neutrality, Whis has found subtle ways to assist humanity, often motivated by his developing fondness for Earth's culture and its protectors.
Da Collezione
For collectors, Whis is a staple of the modern 'Super' era figures. The most sought-after articulated figure is the S.H. Figuarts Whis by Tamashii Nations, which is highly praised for its accurate sculpt and the inclusion of his scepter. In the world of statues, Banpresto's DXF and Blood of Saiyans lines offer more affordable but highly detailed options.
Premium collectors often hunt for high-end resin statues from studios like Prime 1 or Tsume, which capture his elegant posture. A recent 'grail' for card collectors is the 2024 'God Rare' (GDR) card from the Dragon Ball Super Divers arcade game. Value trends for Whis items usually spike during the release of new anime content, such as the upcoming 2026 remaster series.
He was the one who revealed that Beerus authorized Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta.
