Background / History
Whis resides on Beerus's Planet, where he spends his time drinking tea, cultivating high-quality tea trees, developing desserts, and monitoring events across Universe 7. He keeps track of surviving Saiyans because of the Oracle Fish's unclear prophecy concerning a Super Saiyan God. His staff projections locate Broly and Paragus on Planet Vampa, Tarble, Vegeta and Nappa, and Goku and Raditz training on King Kai's Planet 66.
While observing Earth, Whis notices that Lin Chuan has altered the expected course of events. Though initially cautious of this unexplained Saiyan, he considers Lin Chuan an exception capable of changing the status quo and potentially shaping the future of their space-time 67.
Whis first meets Lin Chuan's group during Champa and Vados's unauthorized visit to Earth. Rather than intervene in their conflict immediately, he is notably drawn to Earth's instant noodles and later asks Bulma to introduce him to more delicacies 104 106. He subsequently attends Lin Chuan and Bulma's wedding, where he gives their unborn child a gift later identified as Angel Initiation Power 115 132.
After Lin Chuan's rapid breakthroughs, Whis personally brings Lin Chuan and Piccolo to the World of Void for combat instruction. He effortlessly evades their attacks, identifies flaws in their body control, and teaches them the importance of eliminating unnecessary movement, balancing power with speed, and shifting freely between tension and relaxation 134 136. Lin Chuan's potential leads Whis to consider him as a possible God of Destruction candidate and later as a potential apprentice Angel 136 137.
Whis accompanies Lin Chuan when he challenges Champa in Universe 6, reinforces battlefields with Vados when necessary, and continues to observe Lin Chuan's progress through increasingly higher realms 152 153 159. He also trains Goku, Raditz, and Broly on Beerus's Planet, arranging their sparring sessions and correcting their combat habits 172 198.
During Lin Chuan and Beerus's eleventh-dimensional clash, Whis prevents their final collision from destroying Universe 7 and nearby universes 207. Later, Corrupted Ram captures Whis and publicly turns him into a fallen Angel 481. However, Whis secretly contacts his sister Kusu, reveals that he has not truly been controlled, and begins working within Ram's forces for an opportunity to strike 493 504.
