Chronoa came into existence over 75 million years ago. Initially, she was an ordinary Kai while the role of Supreme Kai of Time belonged to her predecessor, Aeos. Around 75 million years before Age 850, Chronoa competed against Mechikabura for the title of Supreme Kai of Time, with the challenge involving raising a Tokitoki egg to prove worthiness. Upon discovering Mechikabura’s malevolent plans, Chronoa ascended to the position of Supreme Kai of Time and imprisoned him within the Crack of Time. Demigra, who was expected to assist Chronoa, was in truth an agent of Mechikabura. Eventually, Chronoa confronted Demigra and his allies Putine and Gravy, defeating all three and banishing them to the void that later became the Demon Realm. After nurturing Tokitoki into adulthood, she officially assumed the mantle of Supreme Kai of Time. Soon after, Demigra amassed enough Kili energy to transform into a Demon God and attempted to capture Tokitoki and seize control of the Time Nest to usurp Chronoa’s role as god of time and space. However, Chronoa thwarted this attempt and sealed Demigra back within the Crack of Time.
Prior to enlisting Xeno Trunks, Chronoa appointed a Galactic Patrolman named Sealas as the first Time Patroller. Sealas possessed a strong sense of justice but struggled with the darker duties of a Time Patroller, especially the necessity to observe tragic historical events without interference. This tension culminated during Sealas’ final mission, patrolling history alongside Chronoa during one of Kid Buu’s destructive rampages, which occurred sometime between Time Immemorial and Kid Buu’s summoning by Bibidi five million years before Age 0. While on patrol on a planet under attack by Kid Buu, Sealas witnessed Buu assaulting an unseen native boy. Despite Chronoa’s orders not to intervene, as it was part of the official timeline, Sealas defied her and shielded the boy from Buu’s attack. Upon returning to the Time Nest, Chronoa reprimanded Sealas but understood his actions stemmed from noble intentions. She explained the importance of putting emotions aside to preserve history and gave him time to recover, noting that his intervention was minor and ultimately ineffective since the boy later perished when Kid Buu destroyed the planet. Upon checking the Scroll of Eternity to confirm the boy’s fate, Sealas was horrified. Unable to reconcile his role in allowing such tragedies, Sealas resolved to betray Chronoa and the Time Patrol by attempting to burn the Scroll of Eternity to rewrite history and create a peaceful world without evil. Chronoa uncovered and stopped his plans, and as punishment for his betrayal and attempt to destroy the timeline, she imprisoned Sealas within the Time Abyss.
At a later point, Chronoa confronted Future Trunks (known as Xeno Trunks in Dragon Ball Heroes and World Mission) due to his creation and use of a Time Machine to alter the past and prevent his dystopian future timeline, which caused a split in the timeline. Needing an assistant, Chronoa deceived Future Trunks by claiming, “What you did is a mortal sin and making Time Machines is a crime! Work under me if you want to be forgiven!” This lie motivated Future Trunks to become her assistant as a way to atone for what he believed was a grave sin committed by him and his mother in altering the past. He was unaware that their actions were actually the first of their kind and not a sin—a fact Chronoa kept secret for her own purposes. Unexpectedly, Trunks took her lie seriously, dedicating himself fully to the role of assistant and proving to be diligent and reliable. Chronoa chose not to correct certain timeline changes caused by Future Trunks’ travels, such as his involvement in the deaths of Mecha Frieza and King Cold, Goku’s survival of the Heart Virus, and Cell’s use of a stolen Time Machine to achieve his Perfect Form and the events of the Cell Games. She recognized that Trunks’ intentions were pure and aimed toward the greater good, and since history did not worsen as a result, she allowed these alterations to stand.
Dark Demon Realm Saga
In the manga, after appointing Future Trunks as a member of the Time Patrol, Chronoa accompanies him to the hideout of Towa and Mira. Upon their arrival, they encounter Mira, who engages them in battle. Future Trunks fights against Mira while Chronoa remains present during the confrontation. As the battle develops, Trunks faces both the Masked Saiyan and Super Mira. Before a decisive outcome is reached, Towa removes her forces from the location. Shortly afterward, Demon God Demigra appears. After briefly clashing with Trunks and identifying Tokitoki, Demigra inquires about its significance. Chronoa questions Demigra regarding any alliance with Towa, to which he responds in the negative. Demigra states his intention to obtain Tokitoki and claim the position of Supreme Kai of Time before departing.
In the game adaptation, Chronoa commands the Time Patrol in an operation against the Dark Makai Army within the Demon Realm. During a confrontation with Mira, she summons the Supreme Kai avatars to assist the Time Patrol before leaving the battlefield. Following the conclusion of the battle, Chronoa and Future Trunks encounter Towa. They exchange information, after which Towa summons Super Mira to engage them. The ensuing battle results in the defeat of Towa. Xeno Dabura, accompanied by Super Mira and the unconscious Towa, subsequently departs through a dark portal.
Dark Empire Saga
Following the battle, Chronoa and Future Trunks return to the Time Nest. Soon after, Chronoa detects alterations in the timeline and sends Trunks along with the newly appointed Xeno Goku to investigate one such event. This particular alteration involved Goku fighting Xeno Frieza in his Super Saiyan form.
After correcting this timeline disruption, Chronoa identifies two additional changes. To manage these, she decides to split the team: Chronoa and Goku address one change, while Future Trunks teams up with a new ally, Xeno Vegeta, to handle the other.
Chronoa and Goku discover that their targeted timeline change is caused by the Dark Empire Forces attempting to capture Xeno Majin Buu, who has fused with a Dark Dragon Ball. Despite holding off the enemy initially, they are soon overwhelmed, prompting Chronoa to summon Vegeta and Trunks for support. Upon her return, Buu has transformed into a Demon God after absorbing Xeno Dabura’s power. Facing this new threat, Goku and Vegeta fuse into Xeno Vegito using Chronoa’s earrings. Vegito gains the advantage against Buu, but as he attempts to end the fight with his Spirit Sword, Demon God Chamel intervenes to save Buu, allowing them to escape.
After the confrontation, Chronoa rests alongside the Time Patrol until Chamel arrives. She then assists the Time Patrol in battling the Dark Empire at Mechikabura’s castle in the Dark Demon Realm. Observing that Mechikabura has returned to full strength by using Dark Shenron, Chronoa transforms into her Time Power Unleashed form. Using the full extent of her temporal power, she seals both herself and Mechikabura in a time-created dimension and teleports the remaining Time Patrollers back to the Time Nest.
Dark King Mechikabura Saga
Chronoa suddenly appears alongside Gravy and Putine in Age 790, seemingly under mind control. She uses her powers to freeze the entire Time Patrol, as well as Demigra and his allies.
Later, she shows up at the hideout used by both the Time Patrol and Demigra's Army, freezing everyone except for Xeno Trunks. This exception is due to Xeno Trunks holding the Key Sword, which was given to him by Robelu. Chronoa then uses increased power, transforming into her Time Power Unleashed form, and employs the Time Clock technique, launching a barrage of dark arrows that impale Xeno Trunks. While holding the Key Sword, Xeno Trunks glimpses fragments of Chronoa's memories from her time trapped in the Time Labyrinth, where she was defeated by Towa and brainwashed by Mechikabura. Reacting to this, Xeno Trunks transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 and charges at Chronoa. Striking her with the Key Sword, he purifies the darkness within her, restoring her to normal and freeing those she had frozen. Chronoa apologizes for her actions, but Xeno Trunks reassures her that there is no need for remorse.
Immediately after, Mechikabura arrives and attacks the group, incapacitating everyone except Xeno Trunks. After summoning and absorbing the other Demon Gods, Mechikabura heads to the Time Nest intending to steal Tokitoki. Chronoa asks Xeno Trunks to pursue him. The injured Saiyans transfer some of their energy to Xeno Trunks, which unexpectedly causes him to transform into a Super Saiyan God. Chronoa and Xeno Trunks travel to the Time Nest, where she aids him by freezing Majin energy blasts during the fight against Fin. After Xeno Trunks defeats Fin, he attempts to confront Mechikabura, but Mechikabura creates a black hole that begins absorbing everything, including the Time Nest.
Chronoa explains that Mechikabura has started absorbing time itself, putting the entire universe at risk. To escape, chains emerge through a small light opening and latch onto Chronoa and the others, pulling them out of the dark void into a desolate Time Nest controlled by Demigra. When asked how he accomplished this, Demigra reveals he used Dark Shenron to gain power capable of opposing Mechikabura.
Soon after, the remaining Time Patrol members and Demigra’s Army appear through a rift, with Xeno Goku holding the Key Sword. Chronoa requests they buy her time while she recharges the Key Sword for Xeno Trunks. Once charged, the sword enables Xeno Trunks to deliver a final blow to Mechikabura, sealing him in an eternal labyrinth. Following this, Tokitoki restores the Time Nest to its original state. Before departing, Demigra vows to one day claim Chronoa's position, though the Time Patrol pledges to prevent this when that day comes.
Universe Creation Saga
At the Time Nest, Chronoa informs Xeno Trunks and Xeno Pan that Tokitoki, the divine bird, has gone missing. Concerned about the potential danger this poses, the two immediately set out to find Tokitoki. Meanwhile, Chronoa remains behind, feeling uneasy and considering the possibility that Tokitoki’s disappearance might be linked to the recent release of Dogidogi.
New Space-Time War Saga
Chronoa makes a brief appearance at the start of the New Space-Time War Saga, where Xeno Trunks guides Goku through the Pseudo Universe. Later, Chronoa arrives to intervene against Fu’s plan to eliminate the Gokus, providing support and enhancing both Goku’s powers beyond their normal limits to help initiate the final confrontation with Fu. Despite this significant boost, Goku and his alternate self are still unable to defeat the Dark King.
Fu begins absorbing energy from the Universe Tree and, to some extent, the entire universe. Chronoa and the Gokus observe this, and Fu lashes out by sending a tendril toward Chronoa. Xeno Goku quickly steps in to intercept the attack, taking the hit himself. Fu is eventually defeated when Goku absorbs energy from the Universe Tree as well and finishes him off with a Kamehameha.
After the battle, Chronoa notes that the Universe Tree has exhausted all its energy. She calls upon Tokitoki to lend his power to restore Universe 7. Tokitoki complies, and a bright flash of white light envelops everything, restoring the universe.
In the manga, a bonus chapter shows Putine becoming an Intern Time Patroller, with Chronoa attempting to teach her former rival how to fulfill this role. During a mission, Putine discovers a time distortion while using the Time Scroll to observe Gravy’s personal life and reacts angrily upon learning Gravy has a girlfriend. She initially refuses to pose with Chronoa before the mission. Though Putine mistakenly assaults Gravy with a hammer despite his innocence, she manages to correct the timeline. Chronoa explains the importance of preserving history and encourages Putine to pose with her again, but Putine declines once more.
Supreme Kai of Time Saga
Inside the Time Vault, Chronoa faces Aeos, her predecessor as Supreme Kai of Time. Aeos expresses disappointment with Chronoa’s handling of the Scrolls of Eternity and demands their return, but Chronoa refuses. In response, Aeos’ Warriors in Black surround Chronoa to prevent her from resisting.
Later, Chronoa appears disguised among the Time Patrol during the Super Space-Time Tournament, wearing a cloak that conceals her identity. The other Time Patrollers seem unaware of who she is, as Xeno Goten questions the cloaked figure’s identity, and Xeno Trunks explains that Chronoa called him a special helper.
Chronoa then confronts Aeos in the Time Nest, demanding the return of the Time Scrolls. Aeos smiles confidently and challenges Chronoa to try. She warns that she will show no mercy if Chronoa interferes with her plans and transforms into her Time Power Unleashed state. Chronoa counters by activating the same form but states she intends only to talk, not fight.
Aeos rejects the offer to talk and attacks Chronoa with an energy blast. Chronoa defends herself while attempting to explain her understanding of the risks involved with increasing timelines, emphasizing her trust in the potential within them. Despite her efforts, Aeos overwhelms Chronoa and knocks her down.
Dragon Ball Online
Chronoa does not appear directly but is referenced in the backstory explaining how Future Trunks became her assistant. According to the interpretation in Dragon Ball Online, using a Time Machine is considered a breach of the universe’s natural laws. Although Future Trunks’ actions were intended to protect Earth’s peace, the Lord of Time sternly warned him about the consequences. To atone for his violation, Trunks accepted the role of a Time Patroller tasked with correcting distortions in history. After being cautioned by the Lord of Time about Mira’s plans to cause chaos across time and space, Trunks travels to Age 1000 to find allies and stop Mira’s schemes, marking the beginning of the Dragon Ball Online storyline.
Dokkan Battle
Chronoa appears in the story event "Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission," where she interacts with Xeno Trunks, who is disguised as Great Saiyaman 3. She recruits Beat and Note to help address anomalies caused by the rogue former Time Patroller Sealas, who, driven by a misguided sense of justice, seeks to empower Ahms and destroy the Scroll of Eternity to rewrite history. To combat this threat, Chronoa dispatches Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta to assist Xeno Trunks, Beat, and Note in stopping Sealas. Additionally, Chronoa appears as an enemy in the Strike Event "The Space-time Traveler," where Xeno Trunks faces off against the Time Patroller protagonist from Quest Mode. Defeating Chronoa in this event rewards players with a Reinstating History Trunks (Xeno) card, with a chance for a double drop. However, the specific Chronoa card featured in the event is not obtainable through this Strike Event and can only be acquired via card summons.
World Mission
In the opening animated cutscene of World Mission, Chronoa and Xeno Trunks observe the arrival of her former subordinate, Sealas, who travels from the Crack of Time to the Time Nest through a wormhole. Chronoa immediately understands Sealas' purpose and instructs Xeno Trunks to confront the intruder, who is unknown to Xeno Trunks. However, Super Saiyan Xeno Trunks is swiftly defeated by Sealas, who then departs suddenly. Recognizing the threat Sealas poses, Chronoa resolves to stop him. She sends Xeno Trunks to Hero Town on a covert mission to investigate anomalies within the Super Dragon Ball Heroes game world created by Sealas to gather data and increase his power. Assisted by Capsule Corporation Technician Leggings and her young aide Anne, Xeno Trunks adopts the persona of Great Saiyaman 3, becoming a popular player and admired figure in Hero Town, known locally as the Hero Master. Eventually, Great Saiyaman 3 assembles a team of Hero Switch-compatible Super Dragon Ball Heroes players called the Dragon Ball Heroes to assist in combating the "menace" as Time Patrollers who correct anomalies within the game world's timeline.
In Chapter 3, Sub Chapter 2: "Sealas Arrives!", Great Saiyaman 3’s DBH Team is forced to defend Hero Town from game world enemies and a brainwashed SDBH player named Kabra, who is freed by Great Saiyaman 4 (Goku’s Earthling/Saiyan hybrid descendant Beat) after killing Babidi. Meanwhile, Chronoa prepares her newest recruits, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta, within her home in the Time Nest for their first official mission. She offers them official Time Patrol uniforms, which Xeno Vegeta initially declines. Chronoa asserts her authority, stating Vegeta will remain in the Time Nest until he complies. Xeno Goku advises Vegeta to accept, leading to his eventual agreement. After putting on the uniforms, Xeno Goku remarks on the odd feeling of not wearing his usual Turtle School Gi, to which Chronoa responds curtly, but before she can continue, Xeno Vegeta interrupts sarcastically, asking if they are going to stay and listen to her lengthy speech. Chronoa agrees it’s time to move and head to Hero Town. Before departing, she requests that Great Saiyaman 3 and the DBH Team hold out long enough for her arrival with crucial reinforcements.
