His concept isn't filler, everything he does is filler.

Cooler was also designed by Toriyama, after all. That doesn't mean he is canon.

Yet Kibito brings him up in chapter 470 of the manga and how even he isn't allowed on the planet where they are taking Gohan. He is canon.

Dai Kaio exists in the manga. Toriyama did his design for the anime.

It makes more sense to go with that design than to disregard it in order to fit a fan theory..

He is actually a Canon Immigrant, his design appeared nearly a year before his mention in the manga.

South Kai also showed in the manga.

I wouldn't say he is an accurate example of canon immigrant as it is likely Toriyama already had him in mind before providing the design to the anime staff. He was mentioned not long after his anime debut when Piccolo asks if Kaioshin was the Dai Kaio, and the multiple Kaio were established before that.

TBH, I quite disliked the Otherworld tournament arc and tend to disregard it more than I should, so my apologices if that clouded my judgment.

And, it may be due to not always wearing robes, but the Grand Kai looks more like a Kaioshin than the other Kais; no antenna either (although those may be part of the hat or something).

Oh well, this is more interesting a topic than trying to math power levels up.

The fun thing is, the actual cosmology of how the Kais work was never detailed in the manga itself, it was given through side materials, so people who've never read those would probably wonder what we're even talking about.

Anyway, my original point is and still stands as the fact that Supreme Kais can't be replaced willy-nilly, and what the name of their species is has no bearing on that.

And there's no reason to believe Zamasu wasn't a Golden Fruit Kai who was then being groomed to become a Supereme Kai. I mean, nothing says that the Golden Fruit guys can't be a regular Kai until the former Supreme needs replacement.

[up][up][up] Actually would it be Canon Immigrant is said thing was created by the original writer in the first place?

Unlike Bardock he was created by the author, I can't really find exactly where it goes. Early-Bird Cameo? Production Foreshadowing?

Because of course she does, what did you expect?

I wouldn't be surprised if next comiket has a deluge of doujin starring her...

I dunno.

Gin, Fernet, Grapa, Tequila, Wine, Ale, Mead, Tepache, Brandy, Cider, Rum - there's a lot of stuff we can still use.

"Bouzo" could work for the clown.

Pun on the specific drink ouzo rather than the generic term "booze".
