...I thought Supreme Kais came from fruit.

Gold fruit. All the other Kais came from not!gold fruit.

Supreme Kais are Supreme Kais from birth. Er. Not birth. Planting? Dropping? Germinating? Plucking?

One of those.

Shin-Jins come from Fruit. The office of Kai is picked by lot from the Shin-Jin.

The Supreme Kais specifically come from special golden fruit.

Like, King Kai and Grand Kai and Kibito are all Shin-Jins. Regular Shin-Jins from regular fruit.

But the Supreme Kais supposedly came from special fruit.

This might sound out there, but what if Skot got promoted to Supreme Kai because she sealed Demigra away.

Also, Chronoa is a pretty cool name, to be honest.

I'm pretty sure Supreme Kai isn't supposed to be a thing you can be promoted into?

Like, regular Kai, yeah, there's the lots. But not Supreme Kai.

Chronoa makes me think of a Rule 63 version of Chrono Trigger.

Or Chronoa Trigger, I guess.

[up]

I pretty much agree with you, but Dr. Gero wasn't a thing either at first.

Wouldn't surprise me if they retcon in the possibility to become a Supreme Kai through promotion, since they never said it couldn't happen.

Whether it's a good idea or not will be up to the viewer.

Right, so shinjin are chosen to become Kai by lot. Only shinjin from gold fruit can become kaioshin. What's the problem? There can still be a surplus of gold fruit shinjin who did not get a chance or had no interest in becoming kaioshin.

Except the golden fruit are stated to be extremely rare. Majin Boo killed most of the Kaioushin several million years ago and there's been no new ones since.

Which does not necessarily mean there wasn't a time when there were a bunch of them at once.

Improbable? Yes. Impossible?

Impossible is nothing.

Also, she's the Supreme Kai of Time, as in the overseer of all time. It's probably a more prestigious job in the long run than being a normal Supreme Kai.

But in the end it all just comes down to finding a Sayian who'll deal with their problems for them. Man, being a Supreme Kai is easy.

Or a human, or a Majin, or a Namekian, or a Frieza clan person.

Or a bunch of Saiyans, Humans, Majins, Namekians and Frieza Clansmen.

Lets hope he's not an idiot.

Come to think of it, even if he's more.....humble (Future Trunks will help a lot with that), he probably lack some of the Techniques that Gotenks has (unless he really is GT Goten).

He might not be able to go Super Saiyan Three, though since 3 is an impractical energy burning form anyway, that's not so awful.

Funny, no one here's actually commented on the guy who Beerus said gave him more trouble that SSG Goku?

Terrifying. Goddamnit, Toriyama.

And yeah, the Saiyan kid on Champa's team isn't even an impressive-looking Saiyan. I'm still waiting to be surprised here.

If you've learned anything about Toriyama's art, then you should know that the less impressive something looks, the more dangerous it is.

[up][up]So, is the fighter a female or just a Guy with massive nipples?

To the point where it's just become predictable at this point.

This guy doesn't even surprise me. I wasn't expecting the nipples but this is otherwise exactly what I expected.

The Saiyan could possibly be female, Freeza Clansmen are genderless, and it's been theorized that the little red guy might be Dragon Ball's version of Red Boy; an extremely powerful character from Journey To The West.

I doubt everything you said but the last one.

Not because I think you are wrong, but because we all know actually using his female characters isn't even on Toriyama's radar, so there's no way he'd create any new ones to fight.

Dragonball has been, and always will be a Sausage fest, with one or two exceptions.
