ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
I just want to say I absolutely love Beerus and Shin playing the blame game for why their universe is such a dumpster fire.

Shin was really a gigantic sap in DBZ but in Super he's really fun when playing off against Beerus.

I like Dragonball more than Z.

Also, it causes situations like this where everyone's talking about the Universes having power levels when the point wasn't that 7 and 9 suck in terms of strength. 7 and 9 suck because they're full of a bunch of lovely people with gods who can't do their jobs correctly.

Are you saying people with low power levels should be killed?

Do you see some sort of final solution to this problem?

Universe 9's Kai is a greedy, selfish rear end in a top hat whose just barely a step away from Zamasu, its denizens must feel awful if that's the person guiding its development. Dude even used the Tree of Might ffs. At least Universe 7 knows how to defend Christmas.

I really don't think we should be accepting Zeno/High Priest's logic for commit universal genocides at face value. Just because you're God you can't go around destroying your own creations on a whim, I'm pretty sure there have been at least five SMT games on that subject alone.

Of course universe 1, 5, 8, and 12 have the most boring looking gods of destruction. Aside from maybe Miles Tails Prower but I'm a bit worn out on furries after universe 9 hitting us with a triple whammy.

Angel is a hell of a secure job. People say there will always be IT jobs but how about a job where even your entire universe being erased doesn't get rid of you?

It was always canon that he was an out-of-his-depth rookie, and relative to Gowasu he's not so bad.

No, it has mostly to do with the face. Although thinking about it massive scowl with squinting eyes is probably common.

Which, funnily enough, is Beerus' fault. Buu's a problem he should have taken care of.

EDIT: Hell, the entire reason U7 is of such poor quality can be laid at Beerus' feet.

Did he always know he could have gone to them, or did he only find out after the Old Kaioshin was freed?

I admit I haven't kept up with Super (only started watching for this arc), but in the movies he didn't even know who Beerus was, yeah?

That depends on what the point of a universe is. Also, him NOT killing a bunch of low-levels could very well have doomed himself and his whole universe.

Look guys, we can't blame Shin for all of this. He has only been Kai for about 5 million years, thats not long enough for many new intelligent civilizations to develop. They need to extract the old Fat Kai out of Buu and take him to task, he is the one responsible for the poor state of the universe!

He failed to murder a galactic tyrant and a magical ball of omnicidal, god killing gum while happily offing a primitive tribe of hunter-gatherers just trying to survive for not giving their kill to him. Resulting in a universe of people that grew up in the shadow of an evil overlord with no direct guidance from their inexperienced, untrained top god.

Dai Kaioshin plus the other four could have probably made up for his slack if not for the fact he let four of the five die.

I feel like once U7 manages to survive this arc, Gohan will figure out the criteria that Zen uses to judge universes, and spend his time going around improving U7, so they don't have to deal with that any more.
