When Did Kaioshin Learn the Kai-Kai Technique?

[dragonballer]

It was Kibito's skill.

[Wizard Sesame]

I had the same thought. I simply just made it that when the pair separated magically, they each transferred a bit of knowledge to one another, kai kai being what Supreme Kai received. That's my headcanon, at least.

[Hugo Boss]

Whis made it sound Kai Kai was a ability Kaioshin was suposed to have. Perhaps due to his age, he didn't learn it until being merged with Kibito.

[LightBing]

I would say he acquired it during the fusion, however the other fusion users haven't learned techniques from their fusees. It is true that Kibitoshin lasted years, that might have something to do with it.
The other possibility is that Kibito taught him after they defused.

[Cipher]

I don't see why Kaioshin can't have a rich existence full of various interests we're not privy to in the series proper. Like, we don't know him, you know? We don't know his life. We don't know what he's about.

Well, that sounds good enough to me.

it seems the other kaioshins and even daikaioshin didn't know kai kai since they didn't use it to escape from majin buu.

It could become questionable that he was limping toward Gohan instead of just teleporting. But then, that's easily resolved by him having been pretty battered up at that part, so he could have simply not had enough ki.

[Herms]

Oddly, in DBZ ep.241 it actually does sound like Kaioshin's the one to say "Kai-Kai" when they take Gohan off to the Kaioshin Realm. An anime-only thing, and it goes against him later identifying it as Kibito's technique, but there you have it. Or am I simply mishearing?

[Lionel]

I'm pretty sure that Kaioshin is listed as being a user of Kai-Kai. He's a transcendental authority figure whose position supersedes that of the regular Kais and adjudicator for the dead, King Yemma. Who knows how many years of written and unwritten history he's been witness to; this includes the comprehension of techniques. The more reasonable question to ask might be where Kibito acquired it. It's possible he originally learned it from Kaioshin.

No. Kaioshin(merged with Kibito) tells Goku and Vegeta, that it was Kibito's ability, when they discuss how to get to New Namek after Kid Buu blew up Earth.
I smell a retcon.

if kaioshin knows kai kai,he should be really really stupid to not use it when fat buu showed up.

[Kaboom]

I guess someone figured that the Future Trunks arc was turning out a little too good so far, and hadn't met its "needless inconsistencies" quota yet. I'd prefer to go back to when Kaioshin and Kibito being split back up was just pointless, instead of contradictory.

[Hellspawn28]

I guess he learn it from Kibito off screen or he may learn after fusing with Kibito for so long.

[TobyS]

It's 100% plausible that he learnt it from being fused with someone who already knew it and used it several times while fused.

It's not an inconsistency if it's more likely to happen than not, just because it's not spelled out.

When Kuririn and Yamcha learned the Kamehameha we didn't think it was a mistake, we just thought "oh cool they learnt that move"

As someone pointed out he could have been taught it by Kibito/Elder Kai post split from Kibito, although I prefer the fusion answer.

[MaxZ]

is there any evidence to suggest Supreme Kai didn't always know Kai-Kai?

We don't know when , maybe it is related with the potara fusion with Kibito as formentioned. However why should we care ? He could have learned it even after the fusion .
