Why is Supreme Kai so incompetent and not knowledgable?

[Doctor.]

Gero was smart, but that doesn't mean he wasn't incompetent. Getting killed by your own creation pretty much means you are.

Well he eventually did succeed in his goal to kill Goku. He just didn't stay dead.

Supreme Kai is how old again?

Surely he should know SOMETHING about the damn universe he's supposed to be in charge of by this point. What's he been doing since Buu killed all the other kais? Playing RPGs? Movie nights? Practicing his smug smile in the mirror all this time?

What the heck has he been doing all this time?

Watching cartoons and reading Sukebe porn magazines, mostly.

I would imagine that he's been doing whatever the Kaioshin are supposed to do, seeing as the universe is still running just fine.

Why are all Dragonball characters so incompetent and not knowledgable?

Because they're fallible just like real people?

Honestly, how many of us would do better if put in similar situations? I can already tell you the world would be in rough shape if I had the responsibility of looking after it.

There's a chain of command to consider...

1.) Kami/God, who monitors Earthly affairs.
2.) The North/South/East/West Kaio, who each monitor the 4 galaxies which comprise the DBU.
3.) The Dai Kaio, who rules over all of the galactic Kaio.
4.) The Dai Kaioshin/Kaioshin, who is the highest authority in the universe--the 'Lord of Lords'.

Pretty much all problems that arise in any given galaxy must be handled somewhere between levels 2-3, given that North Kaio, whose quadrant houses more power/problems/threats than any other BY FAR, had never even seen the Kaioshin until he appeared on earth during the Buu saga... So the Kaioshin obviously isn't kept abreast of galactic/universal happenings by his underlings. However, I would imagine that IF an issue arose that superseded the the ability of his underlings to handle, they would have informed the Kaioshin of such, and he'd intervene personally. But again: that level of threat didn't arise until Majin Buu was [re]hatched.

That said, the Kaioshin obviously didn't monitor mortal affairs very frequently. So perhaps the majority of his time was spent creating worlds and seeding them with life..? /shrug

Didn't Beerus steal up Elder Kaisohin in the Z Sword long before Buu went on a rampage with Bibidi. Kaisohin most likely didn't know much about Beerus since Beerus was asleep for a long time. It seems like the only beings Kaioshin knows about are Freeza, Majin Buu, Babidi and Dabra. If you want to count older DBZ movies then he didn't know about Broli, Hirudegarn and Coola as well.

I'm not really sure how long Beerus can slumber uninterrupted, or how often he needs to slumber. However, we do know that he was awake 39 years prior to the events of BoG. So either his antics then weren't sufficient enough to trickle up the universal chain of command to the Kaioshin, OR the Kaioshin is simply inept and did not sense Beerus' rampage. /shrug

[Hellspawn28]

I guess that could be why too. Kaioshin and Kibito where too busy about Buu being released that they didn't notice Beerus actions that much.
