Iwan

Iwan's History

Background

In the manga at some point in time, Iwan participated in the All Universe Hide and Seek Tournament held by Zeno. But when Beerus hid and fell asleep for fifty years during the tournament, it had to be cancelled. He and the gods had to calm Zeno down who was furious. Since then, Iwan and the other Gods of Destruction have felt disdain towards Beerus.

Dragon Ball Super: Universe Survival Saga

In the anime, Iwan attends the Zeno Expo, along with Awamo and Anato, representing Universe 1. Iwan watches the expo, and is opted out of the Tournament of Power due to Universe 1 having a high mortal ranking.

In the manga, Iwan is summoned by the Grand Minister to Zeno's Palace and is asked to partake in the Zeno Expo between the other Gods of Destruction. He later has a look of relief when the Grand Minister announced his universe as one of the twelve that does not participate in the life-and-death Tournament of Power. Afterwards, he returned to his universe to continue to maintain his duties as a God of Destruction.

In the anime, before the Tournament of Power begins, the Grand Minister offers them to test the stage out, believing Zeno to be bored, Iwan spars with Arak and Liquiir to test the durability of the newly constructed area in the Null Realm. He is able to fight evenly with both of them but their battle causes a crater in the arena's center and a tower to fall over and is ordered, along with Arak and Liquiir by the Great Priest, to repair the stage afterwards. The three of them repair the arena before fighters from the eight universes show up.

Iwan is shown to be rather awestruck and amazed at the power of Goku, as when Goku attains Ultra Instinct Sign for a third time. He previously assumed Goku's transformation was a temporary matter, although Anato speculates that Goku has truly achieved the form this time, with Iwan calling Goku's third transformation incredible. Later, he stands up with his fellow Destroyers to recognize Goku attaining the Mastered Ultra Instinct form.
