Potara colors

[Chelentano]

So, we know now that green Potaras are exclusively for Kaioshins and, as a Kaio, Zamasu wears orange earrings. But I was thinking... is this an exclusive thing for Universe 10 or is the same for all universes? Kaioshin and Supreme Kai wear yellow earings, but cheking the original color schematics from Toriyama they were green as well. Kaioshins from Universe 6 wear green Potara too.

So what do you think? Toei messed up the Potara colors on DBZ and they are mantaining this on Super? Did Toriyama meant for all the Kaioshins to wear green earings? This is my first topic. I hope you guys can politely debate about this and sorry for my English!

[SSJ Human]

I'm guessing its just something for the show and not actually the original canon material stating such.

[MaxZ]

the colour coding may be different across different universes

Orange=no powers
Green=perfect fusion

How weird that you take an earing when you graduate the kaioshin training. How many new kaioshins graduated kaioshin academy and as a joke, they painted green earing green, only for people to accidentally fuse.

The green pair has only been confirmed as a merging item. The orange pair has not been confirmed to be capable of anything.
Maybe they were just decorations and had no power?

It was confirmed in recent episode that green = merging

Also, I forgot to put this on the main topic, but Kibito wears cyan earrings and Gohan once wore blue ones. Do you think that those are decorative as well?

[Polyphase Avatron]

Maybe the colors don't matter at all.

[Chelentano]

Maybe the colors don't matter at all.

Maybe, but in a way, we know that is not the case as color show the rank within the Kais.

[Alee9977]

Yeah, it seems to be different,



In this image, we can see that the Kaioshins of U7 have different earrings according to which zone of the universe they command: north, south, east, weast.
This seems not to exist in the other universes, like in U6 there are two kaioshins and in U10 we have one kaioshin and his student.

But isn't this one fanmade?
It looks like multiverse.

My guess is that the potara color is a smart way to write around the fact that Toriyama kept changing earring colors during the re-releases of the manga.
The coloring is more consistent in the anime but some manga covers especially to the 3-1 editions are different.

Finally we know that green=fusion+it is a sign that you are a Kaioshin and I am pretty sure that blue=either you are a guest of the kaioshins or just decoration.
Maybe later it will be confirmed that you can't hang around Kaioshins without earrings.
Goku cheated and used instant transmission to go to the kaioshin's planet (if that planet was actually special).+do we actually know where that planet was? I am pretty sure that it was somewhere in the living world and if it's true then Goku basically was hanging in the living world dead.

The last and only info we got from z about the earrings is the fact that you can continue using them all the time and they still work since Kibitokai gave his earrings to Goku and Vegeta to fuse but they chose to break them

Goku resided with neither the living or the dead. At least, Goku and Old Kaioshin especially didn't reside with the living.

IV. The Kaioshin Realm
界王神界/kaioushin-kai
Translation: Kaioshin World, Kaioshin Realm
Other Names: Planet of the Kai (Funi), Kaioshin’s faraway planet (Viz)

The Kaioshin Realm is, well, the Realm of the Kaioshin. It is a special realm completely separate from the macrocosm that the afterlife, universe, and Demon Realm are all enclosed within. It’s made up of a giant crystalline sphere, about 1/10th the size of the macrocosm, and it revolves around the macrocosm like a moon. Inside this sphere are numerous suns (some of which are depicted as moons in the anime), and at the center is the Kaioshin Planet. While the Dai-Kaio and 4 regular Kaio live on separate planets separated by millions of kilometers, their superiors the 5 Kaioshin all live together on this sacred world, which Kibito says not even the Dai-Kaio is permitted to enter. The only way to reach this realm is by teleportation: East Kaioshin himself relies on Kibito’s Kai-Kai technique, while Goku uses his own Instant Movement, and Boo gets here by copying Kibito-Shin.

The Kaioshin’s planet seems to be devoid of any buildings, and consists simply of grassy plains, small hills, and lakes. The Elder Kaioshin describes this planet as especially durable, but nevertheless it gets roughed-up pretty bad during the final battle with Boo. It is so far removed from the macrocosm that East Kaioshin and Kibito are astonished that they can sense Goku’s Super Saiyan 3 ki when he fights Boo on Earth (though they later seem to have no trouble sensing that all the regular people on Earth have been killed). But despite this distance, the Kaioshins’ godly eyes still enable them to oversee conditions in the macrocosm; in particular, Elder Kaioshin likes to watch women as they change. In the anime flashback showing Boo’s origin, the 5 Kaioshin are shown living peacefully on their planet, fishing and goofing off. Cleary the DB universe is in good hands.

The only real landmark on the Kaioshin’s planet is the Z Sword’s location. 15 Kaioshin generations ago (75 million years back by Daizenshuu 7’s timeline), the East Kaioshin of the time was imprisoned inside the Z Sword by some unknown evildoer who was afraid of his awesome ability to draw peoples’ power out past their own limits, turning any loser into an overpowered, unstoppable force. The Z Sword was stuck up to the hilt into the top of a tall, barren mountain in the middle of a lake. Generations of Kaioshin tried to pull the sword out in an attempt to free the old Kaioshin and receive his massive power-up, but could not due to the sword’s absurd heaviness. Eventually the Kaioshin forgot about the old Kaioshin trapped inside the sword, and just thought that the sword itself somehow gave its wielder unmatched power. Or possibly it was just the current East Kaioshin who made this mistake, because the other Kaioshin got taken out by Boo before he ever had a chance to hear the whole story. At any rate, Gohan is ultimately the one to pull the Z Sword out and promptly free the Elder Kaioshin by accident.

The Kaioshin Realm’s unique position outside the macrocosm enables the Kaioshin to oversee both the afterlife and universe (though even their eyes cannot view the Demon Realm). More prosaically, Toriyama says in Daizenshuu 4 that he drew the original version of the DB cosmos map as background info for the anime staff, but didn’t include the Kaioshin Realm at this point (presumably because it hadn’t shown up in the story yet). It was only after DragonBall ended that Toriyama added the Kaioshin Realm to the map, and its position as separate from everything else is probably because of the fact that it was tacked on later like this.

I always thought that the Potara earrings can have whatever colour.
So, what Zamasu was wearing were earrings in simmilar design, but later, he got working and proper Potara earrings.
Also, there are few characters in DB with earings like Potara, but they are just ordinary earrings.
Like Zarbon for example.

I know that, but we are talking about Kaioshins and related characters. That doesn't include Zarbon, Towa or any other character with similar earrings wich we assume that aren't wearing Potaras.

From what I gathered, both earring sets allow you to do the Potara fusion but the colors are based off of ranking. Keep in mind that Supreme Kai fused with Kabito, and those two were definitely on two different levels. So I'm guessing that the Green distinguishes their ranking, which in term gives them other benefits... ie: Green Earring allows you to travel through time.

When Gowasu entered the matrix like drawers, the Potara glew...

ps, first earings, now rings, whats next, high heels?
