Question about Supreme Kai job.

Just what exactly constitutes an effective Supreme Kai?

Everything you need to know about them is here. Or "almost everything", as they left Kaioshin of Time aside, which kind of triggers me. :x and :P

That guide is indeed very useful and explains pretty well everything that there is to know about Supreme Kais. I would say that a very good and effective Supreme Kai is one who cannot only do his own job very well (creating life, observing mortals, protecting the cosmos), but can also work wonderfully with his God of Destruction. As with any Creation, there must be Destruction. Since a Supreme Kai cannot lay their hand on creation (something that the righteous Zamasu failed to understand), it falls to the Destroyer to wipe out species that might represent a threat to the cosmos. Creators and Destroyers must find good synergy if they wish to shape a strong and flourishing universe. And so the effectiveness of a Supreme Kai depends on that of their Destroyer.

This is also the reason as to why Universe 9 and Universe 7 are the lowest-ranking universes based on mortal level. The Creators and Destroyers of those universes rarely find an agreement and are quite incompetent (just look at Sidra, who does not want to destroy, and Roh, who is clearly very selfish and arrogant). Coincidentally, the Creators and Destroyers of the four universes exempt from the Tournament of Power also seem to work very well with each other, and their professional relationship is based on respect and admiration.

To be honest I think its not Shin's fault he isn't very good, since Bibidi had Majin Buu killed the other Supreme Kais. And Beerus is just lazy and boorish and destroys things for petty reasons. So its mainly Beerus's fault for the low level of U7.

And just from looking at the link I can see that if Shin had been fully trained he would be a much better Supreme Kai. If he had been trained better, then perhaps he would have had a more active role.

I always thought Shin was underrated in regards to his potential for development. When I imagine him at his peak, I think of someone with the knowledge and understanding of Universe 7 that Zuno has. Combine that with the powerful magical abilities of a sorcerer who actually uses them effectively -- seriously, you know a technique that can spawn any kind of physical substance you think of, why not use it -- and you would probably have a fairly competent character whom others look at with respect.

Yeah I feel he is more competent than Beerus is.
