When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Also, I had an idea that I wanted to share in case anyone wanted to, so to speak, share it: if mortals could become Hakaishin (as it could be presumed the Hakaishin were mortals at one point), a mortal could become a Kaiōshin if one dies or somehow resigns, couldn't they? For me personally, this is mostly an excuse to give Gohan his Kaiōshin outfit from the Buu arc, but it's also for the expansion of lore (since I am effectively starting from scratch on a few aspects).

Unlike with the Gods of destruction, the Kai's seems to be racially specific, you have to be born one.Anime Kitten wrote: Also, I had an idea that I wanted to share in case anyone wanted to, so to speak, share it: if mortals could become Hakaishin (as it could be presumed the Hakaishin were mortals at one point), a mortal could become a Kaiōshin if one dies or somehow resigns, couldn't they?

No, guidebooks as well as Toriyama interviews confirm that Kaioshin are born with the job.Anime Kitten wrote:With Future Mai?Gog wrote:Goku Black falls in love?ekrolo2 wrote:I'm in the mood for another Goku Black one shot but I'm kind of stumped as to what to do with it, anyone get any scenario they want to see him get thrown into?

But still, what if a Kaiōshin died, was killed, or simply wanted to pass on the title? It seems plausible that, with the right training and approval, a mortal could become a Kaiōshin. More specifically, I don't see anything stopping someone from achieving the position.Doctor. wrote:No, guidebooks as well as Toriyama interviews confirm that Kaioshin are born with the job.
All the same, this is for my fic, which is the good ol' "'everything' you know about DB is wrong", so I can basically do whatever I want anyway (like implement a couple dozen Naruto concepts >:3).

I guess you could work it in, but you should claim it's an exception. Even Zamasu was born as a Kaio.Anime Kitten wrote:Kanassa wrote:Unlike with the Gods of destruction, the Kai's seems to be racially specific, you have to be born one.But still, what if a Kaiōshin died, was killed, or simply wanted to pass on the title?

Or yeah, since it's for your reboot-esque fic, then it's fine.
Re: General Fan Fiction Thread
I think it works on soul logic or some shit. Like, how Goku Black can still count as a Kaioshin despite being in a mortal body. When one Kaioshin dies, the essence of their connect to a God passes on to their apprentice or something (Making it up as I go along)Anime Kitten wrote:Kanassa wrote:Unlike with the Gods of destruction, the Kai's seems to be racially specific, you have to be born one.But still, what if a Kaiōshin died, was killed, or simply wanted to pass on the title?

Actually, with how much hatred Zamasu has for Goku, a good idea for a fanfic would be this really uncomfortable situation of Chi-Chi mistaking Back for Goku. With Black manipulating and mentally breaking Chi-Chi further, just to spite Goku.ekrolo2 wrote: I was actually thinking of doing a story with Future Chi-Chi trying to track down Black but love isn't what she'd find on the end of that rainbow
Black: Chi-Chi... My Dear...
