Temporal Do-Over (時間巻き戻し Jikan makimodoshi) is a technique used by Whis.

Overview[]

Whis has the ability to travel back in time up to three minutes in the past, allowing him to undo any events that occurred with the only ones around his vicinity to be fully aware of this. As he is the God of Destruction Beerus' attendant and teacher, Whis often uses this technique to undo the damage caused by Beerus when he destroys something by mistake and/or does something irrational.

Usage[]

Whis mentions that in the past, Beerus woke up and sneezed blowing up two of his planet's Suns, forcing Whis to use his Temporal Do-Over to travel back in time and prevent it. After Frieza destroys the Earth, Whis uses this ability to undo the destruction of the Earth by Frieza, allowing Goku to kill Frieza with his Dash Kamehameha, preventing him from destroying the Earth. Whis later uses this technique in the "Future" Trunks Saga to undo Gowasu's death caused by Zamasu.

Whis states in Dragon Ball Super that he cannot reuse the technique for some time after he uses it. It is also revealed that this technique can disrupt and potentially erase the original time flow, as besides Future Trunks traveling back in time, this technique was the only factor responsible for any of the main timeline's events to be averted and has shown that several times in Dragon Ball Super.

Video Game Appearances[]

Temporal Do-Over appears in Dragon Ball Heroes, where it can be used by Whis during the God Boss battle of the Golden Frieza Saga. It is used in response to Frieza reverting back to his Final Form and launching his Death Ball directly at the planet, which he does if he has under half his health remaining at the beginning of his Attack Phase. The attack will destroy the planet, dealing maximum damage to the player's team and usually defeating the player. If the player has a Whis card in their deck however, Which will use the ability to reverse time to the point before Frieza loses his Golden form, undoing the damage and allowing the battle to continue normally.

In Dragon Ball Fusions, it appears as a Special Move under the name Time Rewind. It can be learned by Whis and Vados. It can also be learned by Neryl after reaching Level 99.

This technique appears in Dokkan Battle as one of the possible Summon animations where there is a chance for Whis to appear and rewind the summon so Goku fuses into Vegito instead of a regular Kamehameha, guaranteeing a new character from the banner that the player summoned.
