Weekly ☆ Character Showcase #219: Iwan from Dragon Ball Super!
Iwan - Dragon Ball Super -
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This week, we're taking a look at Universe 1's fuzziest deity, Iwan, from Dragon Ball Super!
Story
Iwan is the God of Destruction for the highest-level universe, Universe 1.
His most distinctive features are his round eyes and his fluffy, fur-covered body.
He was very surprised when he was summoned to the Tournament of Power's Zen Exhibition Match and told he had to fight the other 12 universes' Gods of Destruction.

When the match begins, he makes a beeline for Beerus immediately and attacks him, but is paralyzed by Rumsshi's roar and thrown back, then downed by a punch from Quitela.

Afterwards, the official rules for the Tournament of Power are decided based on a suggestion from Zen-Oh, and Universe 1 is exempted from participating due to the average mortal level exceeding seven.
He later watches the Tournament of Power from the bleachers alongside the Gods of Destruction from Universes 12, 5, and 8, and after seeing other universes be erased upon defeat, remarks in relief, "Good thing our universes are exempt from this..."

First Appearance
"Dragon Ball Super" Chapter 28
Trivia
He is astonished by Goku's strength!
While witnessing the fierce duel between Goku and Toppo after the Zen Exhibition Match, he is shocked, observing, "This battle is already at the level of us gods..." Perhaps Universe 1 is so peaceful that the conditions to forge a warrior on par with Goku or Toppo do not exist.
