Zamas is not a Kaioshin? Good, he can not use the ring and the fusion last one hour
Zamas is a Kaioshin? Good he can not have anymore the healing powers.
If one can change status also Kaioshin est can

In the anime Kaiohshin has only a special kai kai only to go to Zeno
The permanent fusion rule likely applies to all shinjin, not just Kaioshin. We'll see if that plot point even exists in the manga.

If Zamasu is a Kaioshin, then is Black a god of destruction? If so, where is his angel? He isn't a true Kaioshin. The potara and time rings are intended for and only permitted to be used by Kaioshin, but that doesn't mean they don't function otherwise.

It is never stated that Kaioshin's kai-kai only brings him to Zeno's realm. He also used it to get to Earth. If Kaioshin knowing kai-kai bothers you, just figure that he learned it when he was fused with Kibito.

Could it be after their defuse he learned some Kibito techniques, maybe?

That's possible, but since it seems now as if it's (and for all we know, always has been) a common Kaioshin technique, I don't give much credence to that explanation.

I always assumed Toriyama forgot that Kibito was the one who could teleport, and now his mistake is an official retcon. Kaioshin definitely couldn't teleport before merging with Kibito.

In episode 55, whis says only Kaioshin can go instantly to Zeno is not teleportation.

one fusee would be only a Supreme Kai in order for the fusion to stay permament

Toyotaro should remember him those things, I mean he should be useful for that.

Do we know he definitely couldn't before or are you guys just making shit up to please your headcanon?

This is a good point. Also, if Toriyama decides he wants to change something to move the story forward (like he always has), he has every right to do that. The same goes for Toyotaro.

Just found out Toyotaro drew a French Goku to celebrate DBS manga release in France and I think that's pretty awesome from him:

French fans are lucky. :thumbup:

We don't need to know as this is an obvious assumption. Toyotaro is his assistant and responsible for drawing the manga, but not just that, he's also a fan that could remember small or big details in the original manga which Toriyama has forgot. If they want to change just for change then it's up to them, but keeping consistent with things established decades ago would sure avoid holes in the story making it more enjoyable to readers.

I'm saying do you know that the supreme Kai couldn't teleport ? Was that stated anywhere or is it head canon.

He said it was Kibito's ability(inb4 the original japanese text was another vague line!), when Goku told them he would struggle to find planet Namek after Buu blew up Earth.

No, but this is a small issue. Kibitoshin was able to teleport because it was Kibito abillity, as I said to Jinzoningen MULE, after their defuse Shin could have inherited some of Kibito techniques, maybe.

What I'm saying is how do you know it was solely because of kibito? How do you know he didn't have it all along and just made kibito do it because it wastes energy ?

Man, I'm really digging the idea that all the other Hakaishin art plotting against Goku and Universe 7. Little things like that are going to make the dynamic of the battle royal more interesting.

Wrong thread, buddy. I am curious to see if that happens in the manga when the time comes, though.

I'm hoping the manga take that route, too. That's why I posted that tidbit here...

Well, I've already taken my comment to main Super thread. If that's where you were heading with this. But if not, go for it.

Maybe, just maybe, Kaioshin simply learned Kai-Kai from Kibito? You know, we've seen a few fighters even in the original manga having this mysterious ability to learn new techniques from others. :roll:
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
