"Howdy! Hey, what's the matter with you? Oh, I guess I never did explain about the Time Nest, did I? Okay, I'll tell you everything you need to know! The Time Nest has two main functions. The first is to serve as a nest for Tokitoki, the bird who controls time. He may not look like much, but he is an important being. In a sense, the role of Supreme Kai of Time is to serve as Tokitoki's caretaker and raise him dutifully. And the second is to house this giant building, known as the Time Vault. It holds the history of the entire universe. Pretty much everything that has ever happened is written down in the Book of the Beginnings and Endings. Of course, it includes your entire history as well! So I'd be careful about what actions I take if I were you! If you ever want to look back on your history, go take a look in the Time Vault."
Chronoa explaining the role of the Time Nest in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

The Time Nest (時の巣 Tokinosu) is the home of Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time and her pet bird Tokitoki and the location of the Time Vault (刻蔵庫 Kokuzōko), a temple-like location introduced in Dragon Ball Xenoverse. It is filled with the history of Dragon Ball.[2] According to Chronoa, the Time Nest is located at the edge of Universe 7.[1]

Overview[]

The Time Storage Vault

Time Vault

This place is stated to be almost like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber,[3] and apparently holds the key to the story of Dragon Ball Xenoverse.[2] The Time Nest resembles a giant birdcage and contains the Time Vault, a small home for Chronoa, and a large pond or lake with two perches for Tokitoki.[2] In Xenoverse 2, Tokitoki also occasionally perches atop the gate that leads to Conton City it too so acts as a makeshift perching spot as well.

Biography[]

Background[]

The Time Nest is a special place located on the very edge of Universe 7 which was apparently constructed as the nest for the divine birds that creates time, Tokitoki. After the Kai Chronoa was promoted to the position of Supreme Kai of Time succeeding the previous Supreme Kai of Time Aeos, she and her successfully raised Tokitoki settled in the Time Nest where Chronoa watched over the propagation of time and physically recording the history of the universe inside the Time Vault. Sometime after acquiring her position, Demigra became a Demon God by collecting lots of Kili and tried to steal Tokitoki during his attack on the Time Nest in the 75 Million Before Age in order to claim Chronoa's position, but he was sealed away in the Crack of Time by Chronoa.

At some point after this the God of Destruction Beerus and his Angel attendant Whis visited the Time Nest and met both Chronoa and Tokitoki. Fortunately, the Time Vault survived the visit intact.

Time Vault[]

"Hey there! How are you doing? Are the Time Patrols going okay? Hm? Why do we go back and fix history? You haven't heard? I don't believe it. Think about it. We can't let these evildoers just go back and change history as they please! If history is altered too much, it'll be the end of the world as we know it! Once history changes, it will create a fissure in the Book of the Beginnings and Endings. When there is a difference between the proper history and the altered one, it's too much for a single scroll to contain. So as the number of scrolls increases, the Time Vault where they're stored fills up. Once its limit is reached... Boom! I'm afraid if the Time Vault goes, the entire universe will disappear along with it. That's why you need to fix these changes, so I can return things to a single scroll! Yup, I'm completely capable of such a feat! What do you expect from the all-powerful Supreme Kai of Time?!"
Chronoa explaining how altering history could destroy the Time Vault in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

The Time Vault contains the Book of the Beginning and End that contain a record of the history of time. It is an important role in maintaining the history of the Universe and it is Chronoa's job to protect it, a role which the usually carefree Chronoa takes very seriously. If it were ever damaged or destroyed, the entire universe would cease to exist. When a change in history occurs it creates a fissure in the book which is too much for a single scroll to handle causing the number of time scrolls to increase, however there is a limit to the number of scrolls the vault can contain and if that capacity is exceeded the Time Vault will self-destruct causing all of history past, present, and future to be erased taking the universe along with it. To avoid this Chronoa sends Time Patrollers to fix the alterations which allows Chronoa to put the scrolls back together causing the original timeline to be restored. Though the Time Vault and Toki Toki City/Conton City are separated physically they can normally only be effected by extremely massive time distortions caused by alterations to history, thus their inhabitants are normally protected from minor changes as Future Trunks became ephemeral when Towa attacked his past selves in Age 782 and Age 785, while the Future Warrior disappeared in a matter of seconds in Age ??? when Towa traveled to Age 850 to kill Shenron, thus being in the Time Nest or either city can protect the Time Patrollers and Chronoa from alterations to history. However, a massive time distortion will affect them causing their memories to be affected, though they can regain them if reminded of the correct events or a person connected to them that has disappeared, allowing them to be corrected, though if left unchecked, said distortions can cause the Time Vault to begin to reach capacity. Time Scrolls stored in the Time Vault record the official proper history and when a history change is corrected successfully generally any alterations disappear when Chronoa puts the scrolls back together, though she may chose to leave any alterations in as she sees fit too though even minor changes can be potentially dangerous as shown by in the Unknown History Saga, thus even Chronoa must be careful when doing this as she could inadvertently leave in minor alterations that could lead to serious consequences down the line.

In response to the Time Vault almost being destroyed by Demigra, Chronoa and Old Kai created an invisible barrier to protect both the Time Nest and Conton City from intruders. However Towa found a way to bypass it with the Masked Future Warrior's mask allowing her to infiltrate the Time Vault where she used the scroll for Age 774 to prevent Dabura's death before covering her tracks, then stole Tokitoki's Egg before revealing her infiltration by attacking Chronoa, then created a Wormhole using the egg to free Mira from imprisonment, who subdued the three Time Patrollers Future Trunks and the two Future Warriors, but the original Future Warrior shielded the current one allowing them to follow the Time Breakers as they fled to Age ??? where Mira betrayed Towa and absorbed her along with the egg to acquire his final form though he was defeated by Super Saiyan Blue Goku and the Future Warrior who killed Mira after Goku rescued the egg.

Infinite Zamasu was able to appear in the Time Vault when his essence was attempting to become one with existence and it seemed he would have succeeded as Goku had dropped Zeno's Button in the altered future timeline of Age 796. However Chronoa took steps to ensure that the button was returned so Goku could summon Future Zeno who would erase him in Age 796 which in turn erased Infinite Zamasu in Age 852.

Video Game Appearances[]

Trivia[]

  • The Time Nest gets its name from the fact that it is home to Tokitoki the divine bird that creates time and its caretaker Chronoa the Supreme Kai of Time.
  • According to Chronoa, if the Time Vault is ever destroyed all of history will be erased and the universe will cease to exist. One of her duties as Chronoa is to ensure that this never happens.
    • It is currently unknown how many time scrolls are needed to fill the vault. On top of this, it is not known whether "natural" time scrolls are as dangerous as artificial ones, though it can be assumed they are safer somehow, as their existence is celebrated when Tokitoki lays an egg containing a natural timeline.
  • In Xenoverse 2, Vehicle Capsules cannot be used in the Time Nest, despite the Vehicle Controls Tutorial specifically stating they can, when in fact they can only be used in Conton City, the Capsule Corp rift, the Guru's House rift, the Majin Buu's House rift, and the Satan House rift.
    • In the Xenoverse series, fighting is prohibited in the Time Nest due to the presence of the Time Vault. Save for Trunks' brief fight with Demigra's Mirage, the only other battles that take place in the Time Nest in the Xenoverse series all occur within the Time Vault.
      • However, the Time Nest appears as a stage in Dragon Ball Heroes and is attacked by the Dark Empire during the Dark King Mechikabura Saga. Additionally, when Sealas briefly invades the Time Nest in World Mission, Chronoa orders Xeno Trunks to defend it giving him permission to attack him, though the battle only lasts a few seconds before Sealas leaves. The Time Patrol later fight Sealas (Fused) in the Time Nest during the final chapters of the game to prevent him from destroying the Scroll of Eternity contained within the Time Vault, Chronoa herself joining the battle in her Time Power Unleashed form.
  • Piccolo says the water found in the Time Nest is special, as a single drink of this water cleans both mind and soul, which is considered a utopia for Namekians.
  • Since Chronoa has a fascination with and interest in technology, the area around her house is cluttered with various pieces of Capsule Corporation tech provided to her by Future Trunks. According to Future Trunks, the mess is due to the Supreme Kai's being an untidy housekeeper. It is implied that after she captured the Capsule Corporation cleaning robot, he got for her and asked it so many questions it overloaded he gave up and decided to do the cleaning himself.
  • Chronoa's residence is the only building in the Time Nest that cannot be entered in the Xenoverse series. Thus, the interior is never seen, though it apparently has a kitchen where Chronoa prepares meals.
  • The Time Nest is apparently connected to Toki Toki City via a portal of some kind as it is possible to walk behind the portal archway that connects the Time Nest and Toki Toki City. It is even possible to exit the Time Nest by going through the portal by going through the back of the archway.
  • It is implied during the Warrior of Hope Saga that normally Time Rings cannot access the Time Nest though this can be circumvented by using the Time Ring to follow a Time Patroller who travels through time via Time Scroll back to the Time Nest presumably using the same route created by the Patroller traveling through time. As a result, the Time Patrollers must be careful when returning to the Time Nest after correcting history involving Goku Black and Future Zamasu.
    • The rift created by Black is also connected to the Time Nest as Time Patrol Trunks sends his energy through it to aid his other self. However Half-Corrupted Zamasu's physical death caused that same rift to close.
