Prison Warden posted:Yeah you'd think Kais dying of anything short of "extreme old age" would be so rare as to be notable, let alone the cause of death being "evil cyborg space cricket explodified him". Do Kais even age? I'm reasonably sure they don't. Old Kai is old because an Old Witch took one of his earrings.

Iunno, King Kai looks a lot older than Supreme Kai does. Like, if they just pop out of nonexistence fully formed then it'd suck to be the fat cricket dude instead of the hot night elf.

Exercu posted:Do Kais even age? I'm reasonably sure they don't. Old Kai is old because an Old Witch took one of his earrings. When the old Kai gives his life away to Goku, he mentions he only had a 1000 years left, so I assume this also means he basically gave Goku 1000 years to live too. But he described this as short in context, so presumably they age, but they can live for several thousands of years, but don't age in appearance (he only looks old due to a potara fusion with an old witch) and he presumably gets replaced after he exceeds his age or just goes to get his life back in some way since even Kaioshin's don't seem to take death so seriously. (recently re-read the local release of the Dragonball manga, so excuse me for using a few terms and ideas I don't think made it into the american dub)

Goku dies/was soon to die of old age around year 801 or so according the the Dragon Ball Online canon (which is supposed actual canon?). That's like 20 years after the end of Z.

Time Kai is 75 million years old at minimum, so years 1000 years is a drop in the bucket for them.

Make that millions. Supreme Kai was around when Bibidi had Majin Buu gently caress things up 5 million years prior to the series.

It seems like an incredibly bureaucratic system where every Kai and whatever the hell else is around to just do a single thing indefinitely. Then, of course, martial artists, magicians and space warlords gently caress it all up overnight, repeatedly.

King Kai (Hell all the lower Kais other than Grand) is a bug guy, while Kaioshins (Supreme/Timey) are tree guys.

That's the most Goku/Vegeta way to go out ever, really. "gently caress it, we're old, wanna go murder each other where no one else will get hurt?" "Yeah, sure." "Bitchin'"

The most Saiyan way to go out. Especially if it now follows BoG and RoF, where Vegeta will presumably get a powerup to keep on par with SSG Goku.

Daizenshuu says he's over 300 (Born Age 430, the show occurs in the 750s and beyond) This makes it even funnier because his sister is Fortune Teller Baba who said she's been fortune telling for over 500 years, making her born in Age 250 or earlier. Also Shen, Tien's teacher is a similar age. Also Mercenary Tao. This also predates Kami. Kild fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Mar 13, 2015 |

Like, Roshi and Shen trained under Mutaito together and Tao and Baba are their relatives. I'm imagining an entire martial arts prequel story with those five characters doing poo poo. Nameless Namek can have a few cameos before the whole Kami/Piccolo split happens.

On Kai/Shin-Jin (Aka God or Core People) race there are apparently about 80 of them at a time on their world. All are born from fruit of their special trees. One's like the North Kai live for about 75000 years. Every once in a while a Golden Fruit will grow on the trees and a special Shin Jin will be born. These ones can live for millions upon millions of years and are the ones that become Supreme Kai.  When a Kai passes away other Shin Jin draw lots among themselves to select who will be the new one. When a Supreme Kai dies the same thing happens but only ones that were born of the golden fruit can be selected and the Golden Fruit is rare. So the reason why there are not 5 Supreme Kai's again is probably because no more Golden Fruit has grown since they were wiped out by Buu.

What do Supreme Kais even do? The 4 King Kais apparently oversee planets in their respective sectors, and nobody appears to care that the current Supreme Kais is really really bad at his job, whatever it is.

The job of a Supreme Kai is to have a rad mohawk and look stunned. Tragically the Supreme Kai would eventually fail at one of his jobs.

They're meant to be the opposite to the God of Destruction; where he destroys they create life. Also while we're talking about obscure DBZ poo poo one of the cooler things I found out about recently was how Toriyama envisions its universe.
