Kale is already a better character than Broly, because her motivation actually makes sense.

[up][up] Toriyama loves him some name puns, but "Kaioshin" and "Hakaishin" are not names, they're titles, and he tends to not make punny titles.

"Kaioshin" translates to something along the lines of "Divine Lord of Worlds" and "Hakaishin" is just "Destroyer God".

Realm King God.

Realm King, Great Realm King, Realm King God, Great Realm King God, Destruction God.

Kaiou, Daikaiou, Kaioushin, Daikaioushin, Hakaishin.

I just figured Daikaioshin was an unofficial title the old U7 Kaioshins gave that one as an indicator that he was the eldest and had the most authority among them.

And then there's Zen'O, which is also a title ("All-King", "Omni-King", etc).

I dunno. At least with Broly you could attribute a lot of it to him just straight up being mentally unstable. Kale got pissed because Senpai didn't notice her. tongue

That's a legitimate reason!

I liked the title the sub I was originally watched first used: The King of Everything.

I don't know, jealousy makes more sense to me than holding a grudge because the baby next to you cried a lot.

[up]×3

I figured it's a title that's used when a universe has more than one Supreme Kai.

I mean, they're both pretty shit motivations if I'm perfectly honest; people are gonna give Kale a pass though because she's cute and lesbians :V

If that actually happens, I wonder how the internet will react. Blog websites are already saying Cauli and Kale are a LGBT couple. Just think what'll happen if Kale beats up the old guy who's always coming onto women in uncomfortable ways.

[up][up]Nope. He, miraculously, trained that urge out of himself. I'm thinking more of using the Mafuba to toss people off the ring mostly.

[up]Short-term, hilarious. Long-term, any respect for the old man will completely evaporate.

Going back to U4, I have a better analogy to compare its twin: U4 can be considered as a mastermind who prepares their project by extensively studying others and exploiting whatever weaknesses/strength they have to benefit him, while U9 is that poor shmuck who constantly procrastinates and only manages a shoestring completely project at literally the last minute. XD

I dunno, comparing the two, Kale's seems less silly. Kale's catalyst being her feelings for Caulifla, whatever they may be, seems like a step up.

Then again, being "triggered by baby crying" is low bar to surpass.

[up]×2 At the very least it seems like Kale has feelings for Caulifla.

I agree, that's a crap reason as well. If the real reason is because of a legit mental problem with the "baby crying" as the trigger, it makes it both stupid AND offensive. Kale's reasoning, while minor compared to most other reasons, is actually legitimate.

Also, it occurs to me: Kale said that she got angry when Cabba and Cauli were acting friendly towards each other, when in actuality it was mostly Cauli verbally smacking Cabba around almost maliciously. Makes one wonder......

"Triggered by baby crying in memories from being a baby" may actually be the worst villainous motivation in fiction. This is including such terrible motivations as "I wasn't invited to your baby shower", "my daughter is prettier than me", "my idol brushed me off and made me stand outside in the cold for like an hour", or literally no villainous motivation whatsoever.

I believe that's Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Iron Man 3 in that exact order.
