InDragon Ball, the Kaioshin are the universe’s divine overseers, responsible for creation and maintaining balance. Unlike the Gods of Destruction, they are often seen aswise and selfless beings who act solely for the greater good. While their lore was not expanded too much upon inDragon Ball Z, the sequelDragon Ball Daimaintroduces fans to Shin’s siblings, who choose to remain in the Demon Realm and crave power and authority, Degesu and Arinsu.
The latest episode ofDragon Ball Daimasuggests that this ambition is ingrained in their nature rather than an individual trait. If this is true, this discovery couldsignificantly alter how fans perceive the Kaioshin in the future of the series. As beings who are considered divine protectors, this new information presents a far more complex picture of the Kaioshin and their roles as Supreme Kais.
Degesu Reveals It’s in Glind’s Nature To Seek Higher Positions
Degesu Calls Out Shin for His Position as Supreme Kai
In Episode #16 ofDragon Ball Daima, Degesu delivers a single line that changes the way fans understandthe nature of the Glinds and Kaioshin. He openly states that Glinds naturally seek out higher positions,suggesting that their ambition was never an individual trait but something ingrained in their existence. This would mean that the Supreme Kai’s are not simply passive overseers of creation and balance, but that they were inherently driven to climb the hierarchy.
Dragon Ball Daima Unveils Its Darkest Transformation Yet, Teasing a Villain’s Ultimate Power
After gaining possession of a dangerous ancient magical artifact, a major Dragon Ball Daima villain has gained a deadly new transformation.
Degesu claims this as his reasoning forwanting to become Demon Kingand immediately turns the question on Shin, asking what he does in the outside world. This urges viewers to question whether Shin took on the position of Supreme Kaiout of divine duty or a desire for power and influence. If so, it suggests that all Kaioshin assume roles as protectors due to a hidden desire for control rather than selflessness.
Degesu and Arinsu Are Ambitious and Overly Self-Confident
Both Glinds Want To Remove Gomah From the Throne and Claim Power and Authority for Themselves
Both Degesu and Arinsu exhibitsimilar traits and share a common desire to dethrone Gomah as the Demon King. Degesu’s insight into the Glinds’ inherent nature perfectly aligns with Dr. Arinsu’s calculated actions throughout the series as sheoperates from the shadows like a puppet master. With both siblings presenting a deep belief in their own superiority and a disregard for anyone in their way, they portray a version of Glinds that greatly differs from what fans initially expected.
In many ways, Arinsu and Degesu’s ambition reveals a deeper truth about the Kaioshin. Their divine status doesn’t shield them from the same desires that drive other characters throughout the series. While Shin may be bound by duty, it doesn’t change that he may see himself asentitled to such positions of authority and power. If this is the case, it reveals a much deeper complexity to the Kaioshin inDragon Balland raises the question as to why their desire for positions of authority is righteous while others are labeled as villains.
