Zeno's ultimate ability: the power to completely erase anything from existence, from a single individual to an entire universe and all its inhabitants.
Erase is the most powerful technique in the Dragon Ball universe, wielded exclusively by Zeno and Future Zeno. The Omni-King charges twin blue spheres in his hands and releases them to obliterate his target from existence. Unlike the Hakai used by Gods of Destruction, Erase operates on a completely different scale. It can target a single individual, a planet, or an entire universe with equal ease. Victims do not pass on to Other World; they simply cease to exist. Even immortals may not be safe, though the Dragon Ball Heroes manga hints that immortality granted by the Super Dragon Balls might offer some protection.
Future Zeno used Erase for the first time when Infinite Zamasu had spread across the entire future timeline, becoming one with the universe itself. With no other option, Goku summoned Future Zeno, who calmly declared "All of existence, go away!" and wiped out everything. In the anime, this erased Universe 7 in Future Trunks' timeline. In the manga, it destroyed the entire timeline itself. The act was both salvation and tragedy: it stopped Zamasu permanently, but at the cost of an entire reality and everyone in it. Notably, those who had already left the timeline, like Trunks and Mai, were spared.
During the Tournament of Power, both Zenos used Erase to eliminate losing universes one by one: Universes 9, 10, 2, 6, 4, 3, and 11 were all wiped from existence as their teams fell. The erasure process varied. Some universes saw their inhabitants frozen in place before vanishing. Others were given enough time to say their farewells. Zeno even used a targeted version on Frost alone after the Universe 6 fighter tried to attack from the stands after being eliminated. The Grand Minister later revealed that if the tournament's winner had made a selfish wish on the Super Dragon Balls, Zeno would have erased everything. Android 17's selfless wish to restore the erased universes was the outcome Zeno had hoped for all along.
