It says West, but I'm reading a 'fanslation', as I don't own volume 36 in Japanese (only 38, 39, 40, 41, and 42)
Errr, someone check in the Japanese version please!

Look at THIS.

As both this source (it's a translated Daizenshuu page) and Polish manga seem accurate, I'd say he's South Kaio.
It's party time, Ginyu style!

I'm gonna burn those 'fanslations'! Oh, wait, they're on my computer! I know!
*Prints out the page and burns it*

Why do they call him "Popo-San" on that, though? His name is actually "Misutaa Popo" :?

The Demon Realm(world) was also in YuYu Hakusho. King Yema is there too.
There are like 3 things. After-life/Spirit World,where King Yema is(Heaven/Hell), then Human world, then Demon world/realm. Maybe thats explains it? :?

Its looking that way to me now. I just watched the all the Funimation Dub episodes that Dabura is in again. At one point Dabura states:

"The King of Demons fears no mortal! though I do admit they were stronger than I expected"

So if Dabura is Immortal he cant simply be the ruler of some distant planet seeing as no one who lives in the material (normal) universe is Immortal. I also then noticed that the Oni in king Yamas palace have similar horns to Dabura and that King Yama not only has similar horns but also a similar gotee and skin colouring. This could suggest that they are linked, possibly racially as "deamons". And that would suggest that the Deamon realm is another "universe" or "Plane" we never see in DBZ.

Anyone have more solid info?

Then I am indeed wrong. Again. Though not entirely...just mostly. And I meant the Kaious, not the Kaiou-shins.
I was voted "most unique" and "most likely to become the next existential thinker" in high school.

I remember that in Urotsukidouji :roll: there were those three realms. And if Dabura (what's the pun for him?) is immortal, it was good thinking to make him "die" by making Buu eat him (or maybe because Buu is a magical demon, Dabura would have probably been killed anyway, since in DB they make demons have special abilities, as seen with Piccolo Daimaou).

If you think about it, the Kaioushin we know can't be the Dai Kaioushin because Rou Kaioushin is still alive and is...well...older than Kaioushin. If they work by that kind of "sucession" (sorry, I'm not certain of the word), the oldest takes the position. And we can just speculate as how they are replaced or even born... Not that it really matters, really. Except North Kaiou, none of the other Gods really do anything.

If the Kaious killed by Buu were killed in Kaioushin Kai, shouldn't they have been brought back to life? Or that exceeded Saichourou's power?

I'm a little fuzzy on it, but maybe the wish only applied to those killed by Boo recently. If not, then it's just Toriyama's forgetfulness.

If it didn't exceed Porunga's power, than it still exceeded the one-year rule, aka, nobody can be revived more than a year after their death.

That's why none of the Saiyans save Vegeta were brought back after whoever it was made the wish to revive all killed by Frieza.

The wish was to revive everyone except the really bad people. The reason for being rather than just saying Buu's victims was to prevent Babidi and Dabura from being revived.
