We know from SEG that Kaiohshins are born from the fruits of the tree... We know that demons are Kaiohshins themselves, but they are evil... They are called Makaiohshins...
I feel it strange...Fox666 wrote:Bojack is just a random alien species.
He's actually a lot different from Kaiohshins, unlike Bojack anche co. that have more traits in common...Dabura on the other hand is still a possibility.

Hey, good find!!! They should be definitely part of that race... But what are them? I'll check about them...TheDevilsCorpse wrote:Bojack and his crew are from the Race of Hera.
It's not even clear if Darbula is from the Hell under the clouds or from a parallel dimension...Dabra? Maybe. I don't personally think so.
Toriyama in the SEG says that evil Shinjin (the fruit-born race that Kaios and Kaioshins are chosen from) go to be with the Makaioshins. It's however not made clear if the Makaioshins themselves are bad Shinjin, or just some other race entirely.goldsaint13 wrote:

Bojack and co. were sealed by the four Kaios into a planet '"at the end of the galaxy", not into North Kaio's planet.They are similar to Kaiohshins in look, they also have a very high strength like Kaiohshins have... And they were sealed into Kaioh planet...
I know it's not an officially used term, but doesn't "cosmos" in Dragon Ball fandom normally refer to the whole ball (afterlife, universe, demon realm) rather than just the afterlife?goldsaint13 wrote:At least, they should be from Cosmos, not from normal Universe...

True... I checked now on DB Landmark and Forever (I have the Italian published editions) and they are clearly different...

Are you sure? Weren't they freed by Cell's self destruction?Bojack and co. were sealed by the four Kaios into a planet '"at the end of the galaxy", not into North Kaio's planet.
Well... Being stronger than Freezer's family and not being a SSJ or an artificially created being, could mean to not being from the normal galaxy...kaialone wrote:I dont think Bojack and Co. are related to the Kaioshin or other heavenly people. They just seem to be some alien guys. they're very strong but in Dragon World strong doesnt atumaticly equal god.
The question could be: are the Demon Realm rulers Makaiohshins?As for Dabra, I always believed that he was more a political ruler of the Makai rather than Makaioshin, but I suppose its kinda possible ?
While Bojack and his soldiers are instead quite similar to Kaiohshins...Pantalones wrote:I would've said Dabura couldn't be a Makaioshin because he just doesn't look much like the other Kaioshins at all, but then I thought about it a little more...
That's true indeed...The Kaios and Kaioshins don't really look much alike, either... and they're apparently both part of the same species (all come from the same tree's fruit, just Kaioshins are from golden fruits instead of normal ones.)
If high-ranked members of one species can look like pointy-eared humans with odd hair and skin colors, while lower-ranked members of the same species are short fat even-more-oddly-colored things with antennae, then it's not really much of a stretch that super-evil ones (apparently a rare exception) could magically sprout devil-horns and grow facial hair.
That's an interesting topic... Demons may appear like Demons are supposed to appear and Darbula is almost the prototype of how a Demon may look...Heck, maybe their appearance isn't actually "set" at birth like other creatures, and instead it starts out kind of generic and changes once they grow up enough to have an "adult/full-developed" personality? Dabura is fairly generic-bad-guy-ish (I mean, being sent to Heaven because he's so demon-y that he'd actually LIKE going to Hell?), East Kaioshin's small and wimpy and scared of things, South Kaioshin's defining feature seems to have been his "big bulky warrior guy"-ness, Dai Kaioshin was a jolly fat guy... and so on. They all seem to kind of "match" what you'd expect a pointy-eared alien demon/god-thing of that personality to look like, don't they?
This would even help explain why one Kaio and one Kaioshin look female when they're all supposed to be genderless. They start out "neutral", but can develop into one or the other later when their personality and the rest of their appearance develops.
I too believe that the Hera Race is a race from the Cosmos... Maybe they are those like the princess on the Serpent Road... They just look exactly the same...As for Bojack, they're apparently the last surviving members of the "Race of Hera" (which, as I found out recently, is not actually written/pronounced exactly like Hera the Greek goddess--written in Japanese it's "heraa" with a stretched-out last syllable, rather than just "hera" like the Greek goddess.) Which kind of rules out them being members of the same species as any still-living characters.
They all have the same skin color too, which would be kind of odd if they were Kaioshin-type things.
No idea what the "Race of Hera" was or any details about them, though. I think it was one of those things that was only mentioned in their description in one of those "info on the movie's main characters" things, like the home planets and backstories of Cooler's and Tullece's thugs. They could come from the "afterlife" region of the Dragonball universe, since there are apparently all kinds of things living there aside from all the dead people--odd things like Mr. Popo floating around somewhere (I'm assuming there's more than one, since... how would a random little planet like Earth ever be lucky enough to get the ONLY Mr. Popo-type thing in existence??), and Devilman's species is said to have actually originated from Hell.
In DB Landmark there's a ball and the lower part is called Universe, the upper part Cosmos, ant it's the afterlife...Bussani wrote: I know it's not an officially used term, but doesn't "cosmos" in Dragon Ball fandom normally refer to the whole ball (afterlife, universe, demon realm) rather than just the afterlife?

Pretty much. Daizenshuu 7 lists the name as one of the alien races that appears only in the anime ("anime" here referring to everything from the TV series, movies, specials, and quasi-OVA), but doesn't explain what exactly it is. The Japanese Wikipedia page for DBZ movie 9 says that it's the race Bojack and co. are the survivors of, but doesn't give any source. So we know it's an official name for something, but we basically only have Wikipedia's word that it's the name for Bojack and co.'s race. Which I guess is good enough for me until any further evidence shows up. When each of the movies premiered, pamphlets were given out explaining the plot, characters, and other info., so the tidbit might originate from there. or possibly it comes from some Weekly Jump feature promoting the movie, like with the background for Coola's henchmen.Pantalones wrote:No idea what the "Race of Hera" was or any details about them, though.

It's explained in the movie that the 4 Kaios combined their power to seal Bojack and co. away in a planet at the end of the galaxy, so when North Kaio died in Cell's self-destruction it caused the seal on them to become undone. It's not because Bojack and co. were inside North Kaio's planet.goldsaint13 wrote:Are you sure? Weren't they freed by Cell's self destruction?
"Cosmos" is the English translation Daizenshuu 4 gives for tenkai (literally "heavenly world" or "heavenly realm"), one of the terms for the afterlife, and DB Landmark follows suit. I don't know about anyone else, but I've often used "cosmos" to refer to the whole kit and kaboodle of the DB afterlife, living world, etc. just because there's no official term for the thing as a whole and I don't know what else to call it.Bussani wrote:Oh, you're right.

Oh, yes, Kaioh's planet was part of the seal, not the place where they were sealed...It's explained in the movie that the 4 Kaios combined their power to seal Bojack and co. away in a planet at the end of the galaxy, so when North Kaio died in Cell's self-destruction it caused the seal on them to become undone.
