What would be "the other side" in this context I wonder. Is there a super afterlife?

Probably, turns out King Kai is stuck in purgatory.

Remind me why King Kai and his buddies didn't come back with the "Revive all Cell's victims" wish, again?

I think he chose not to be revived so he could guide Goku around the afterlife but then immediately started regretting it after the other Kais began teasing him.

Kaiou specifically chose to stay dead so that way he could travel with Goku in the afterlife. Super is just stupid.

[up] If that last bit is true, it's anime only.

Yes I know the other Kais are anime only, you don't need to point it out every time.

Super is just stupid.

Well, him actually wanting to be brought back to life (since it's been years and he still can come back, even if he only first mentioned it due to trying to distract Goku) is completely fair. It's just that now Goku keeps forgetting, and no one else seems to care, even though he only died because of Goku, and he's helped the group too many times to count.

Unfortunately for him, he's part of a Running Gag now.

South Kai is in the manga, actually, though he only gets one scene. Grand Kai is mentioned as well, with Piccolo mistaking Shin for him, before being informed his guess was a rank too low.

I mean, I feel like at this point Super (anime) should be taken as a continuation of the anime specifically, so the thing with the Kais should still stand.

Being erased isn't the same as dying...

It's even better, it's a complete lack of existence...

Didn't King Kai mentioned in the beginning of the Battle of Gods arc that the other Kais still made fun of him for being dead?

I assume it's supposed to be a "cool and clever" reference to his pressure point fighting style as an assassin. Like, he punches holes in people, or some shit like that. The kind of thing that sounds WAY cooler in your head.

King Kai probably just changed his mind. It's been over ten years; maybe the other Kais mocking him is somewhat canon(or at least Broad Strokes) and he wants to be wished back so they stop making fun of him. Back in the Cell arc all death meant for him was having to fix up a new house

I imagine that if there is a "super afterlife", it's only obtainable if someone dies outside the 12 universes. Since Frieza ended up in "Earth's Hell", I assume that wherever you die, you go to the proper section of the afterlife in the universe you live in. I imagine that Zeno's palace is the default afterlife. Zen'o doesn't want anyone dying in the tournament because he doesn't want them touching his things

This is probably going to get King Yemma confused. When Future Trunks was dead in the main timeline, he wouldn't get how the paperwork says that Trunks is alive(the baby) yet also dead and an adult at the same time. I'm not sure if either the test tube or adult Cell had an actual soul(King Kai says he does, but he may not be sure given Cell blurs the line between machine and living being), but if so that probably caused a bit of confusion as well. Then the Universe 9 assassins pop up and assuming they aren't erased with Universe 9 King Yemma's not going to be able to find the paperwork needed to judge them

[up][up][up] Funny, I had also considered that.

It's the only way I could connect that to assassins in any possible form

Actually, I'm pretty sure "Time to make the donuts" is just a way of saying "Time to go to work"

That or it's a reference to this old commercial.

Get ready for my one and only contribution to the 'elf on a shelf' meme right before it dies for good. I don't even have any photo editing software, so I'm doing it via text because I figure this is just a little too clever to let go to waste.

You've heard of elf on a shelf, now get ready for:

It's not impossible. Toriyama loves his wordplay puns, vehicles, and drawing Dragon Ball characters on vehicles, and Yamcha's ridden motorcycles before in canon.
