Elder Kai wasn't released but he was killed when the sword was stoned, shattered and vapourised.Galan007 wrote: Mon Nov 09, 2020 8:02 pmI like the theory, tbh.AndLad92 wrote: Mon Nov 09, 2020 6:40 pm Before Elder Kai gave up his life to Goku, he told them that he only had 1.000 years left in him. There's a fan theory that Goku then can live for these 1.000 years, which also is why Goku is seen unchanged and in his prime in the 100 years epilogue in DBGT.
What do you guys think of that?
...Even though that was almost certainly not the reason why Goku hadn't aged past his prime in the GT epilogue.
Beerus was killed in Trunks' timeline because Dabura killed Shin. Elder Kai hadn't even been released from the Z Sword.Dragon Wukong wrote: Mon Nov 09, 2020 6:58 pm There is some indication in the manga that Elder Kai may still be officially a Supreme Kai. His death is considered significant somewhat in the backstory for Future Trunks before the FT arc began, and seems to be hinted as possibly part of why Beerus died.
We know stoned people come back to life after you kill Dabra, and you are freed when the sword is broken so it must be the entire sword being disintegrated while stoned that killed him.
Elder Kai dies before shin so what the other guy is saying is I think that the events of the future timeline don't disprove the fan assumption idea that you have to kill all living Kaioshins to kill Beerus, as opposed to just killing shin.
In other words if you killed shin elder Kai would become the new Kaioshin and Beerus wouldn't die.
This presumably happened before Beerus didn't die when grand Kaioshin died (who presumably was the one he was linked to, why would he be linked to the newest and weakest, and if Beerus is older then shin then presumably he used to be linked to someone else) only after they all died.
It'd be unintentionally genius if Beerus hid someone in the line of succession away somewhere that isn't common knowledge and they don't age much faster if all.
Toyorato avoids having to address this accidentally or on purpose by killing elder Kaioshin And Kibito before shin. So the theory is never proven or debunked.
