Thanks for the quick answers. That's about what I thought but I wanted to be sure I didn't make the wrong assumption.

Dragon Ball uses "ningen" to refer to any non-deity. "Ningen" is normally translated specificaly as "human", but in this context, "mortal" would be more appropiate, and later on the subs take mortal as its main translation too, plus FighterZ uses "zero mortals plan" as well.

"Mortal" brings its own share of issues (namely that the deities themselves are not immortal, Zamasu aside) but it definitely works better than "human" which led to the amazing line "Saiyans, who are humans" from Zamasu.

What I love about that dumb plan is that he also kills all the gods too. I'm guessing he'd never have gotten to kill the Angels or Zeno, so his plan was just to cover the universe with copies of himself and just... Be bored after that I guess?

Unless all of the hosed up Goku-Zamasus form some kind of society? Was he going for a Citadel of Ricks situation? Who cleans the toilets?

Ningen being mistranslated to "humans" was pure comedy gold on that episode where Zamasu was screaming "NINGEN!" at a clearly non human alien race.

It was cute. He doesn't even know what a ningen looks like he just knows he hates them filthy ningens so much :downs:

The Lyrics for this rule

quote:

English Translation

Ti-ti-ti-ti-time to fight
Sta-sta-sta-sta-stand above the rest
Jyan jyan byan byan the Ultimate Battle
Has no meaning, it is just fighting

I'm glad I got to meet amazing guys like you
Is it alright if I show off my strength?
Full power, breaking limits
From this point on, the Gods will watch in awe

Ti-ti-ti-ti-time to fight
Sta-sta-sta-sta-stand above the rest
Jyan jyan byan byan the Ultimate Battle
Has no meaning, it is just fighting
Se-se-se-se-seriously?
He-he-he-he-Heaven and Earth
Jyan jyan byan byan will burn in pillars of fire
There is no meaning, it is just fighting
Until ego turns to nothingness

When my fist goes astray, the sky breaks
When everything is destroyed, what is born?
One-hit kill ten million times
When my body is tattered and broken, where can I stop and rest?

Ti-ti-ti-ti-time to fight
Sta-sta-sta-sta-stand above the rest
Jyan jyan byan byan the Ultimate Battle
Ho-ho-ho-ho-how foolish
Ho-ho-ho-ho-how cruel
Jyan jyan byan byan I'll laugh at fate
When the Spirit Bomb is pushed to its limit
It will shine eternally

Existence awakened, limits reborn
Surpassing consciousness, the fight continues
Se-se-se-se-seriously?
He-he-he-he-Heaven and Earth
Jyan jyan byan byan will burn in pillars of fire

Ti-ti-ti-ti-time to fight
Sta-sta-sta-sta-stand above the rest
Jyan jyan byan byan the Ultimate Battle
Ho-ho-ho-ho-how foolish
Ho-ho-ho-ho-how cruel
Jyan jyan byan byan I'll laugh at fate
It has no meaning, it is just fighting
Until ego turns to nothingness

Zamasu didn't destroy the trees that make more Kai right? So there would eventually be new Supreme Kais. And I think he only killed the Supreme Kais (thus getting rid of the GoDs), so there'd be the King Kai level dudes left. And the Supreme Kais would still be around, just dead...?

Not sure Toriyama hasn't come with some new non-tree explanation for Kais though. I think I'm already thinking about DB afterlife/bureaucracy stuff too much.

You're overthinking this. Toriyama likely doesn't even remember the tree thing considering he forgot everything else he said about the Kaioshins.

Shin is fuckin stupid and doesn’t know poo poo about what his job is. Got hired and sat at a desk on his first day and nobody ever came round to tell him what he’s actually supposed to do

And then on day 2 Majin Buu ate all of his coworkers

It's really more fair to blame Beerus. No way he didn't know there was a pink planet-destroying monster in his Universe, especially since Buu has been around since the dawn of time. He just chose to do nothing about it.

Why would Old Kai call up the guy who imprisoned him in a sword immediately after being freed from said sword when there was a perfectly good Buu-killer right in front of him?

What makes Old Kai even more of an awful idiot is that at no point did he sit Shin down about what Supreme Kais are supposed to do, who are the people they're supposed to work with, and who the bosses are and how to avoid getting on their bad side.

Seriously, how much time had passed since Old Kai was freed during the Buu saga?

Like arguably even if you don't want to wake up Beerus in that situation- somewhat justifiable-, you could at least tell Whis that Majin Buu is there. It's entirely possible he wouldn't do anything, but he could also wake up Beerus or actually just go explode him

It's not like Buu killed off hundreds of Kai above Shin in the line of succession and Shin was a janitor third class, shoveling souls somewhere in the afterlife before being promoted way up to Supreme Kai. Shin was the Eastern Supreme Kai, one rank below the Grand Supreme Kai.

Ultimately people want an explanation for why Shin doesn't know stuff he should know other than "it hadn't been invented yet," which is the true one.
