I'm thinking of something.

Vegeta's pride goes flaccid in the face of Goku's impending girth of power.

Is that good? tongue

Look anyone would get performance anxiety faced with Goku's power level

Shin's problem was He A; Didn't have a convenient way to revive the Fallen Kai since I don't know what the status of the namekian dragon balls would have been 'you'd think on of the fucking angels would show up when the other Grand Kai stopped responding since that whole Grand Kai/ Go D are linked together is a thing.

Actually how does that even work when one of them gets replaced or incapacitated'Eaten by a pink blob monster'

B: He was the rookie having no idea what he was doing.

Yeah, when Shin was working with just future Trunks he was basically able to short-circuit the entire Buu arc at the cost of his own life.

I think that in-story he's okay, but from a meta perspective he just does nothing.

I'm not sure since Toriyama has retconned how the Kai's work (since all the other universes only have one Kai now).

I mean, I've been assuming that after Beerus put old Kai in the sword, some regular Kai tried to fill the gap (with maybe his old attendant becoming the Dad Kaio), but there's been no attempt at such an obvious explanation.

Shin's other problem is that he had nothing to being to the table

All the useful Supreme Kai stuff came from the Old Kai

Shin comes off worse than King Kai

@Rob: "Dad Kaio"

Sometimes it's hard for me to tell if something's a typo, or an obscure fan name.

I am endlessly amused by how quickly Supreme Kai went from being hyped up as a badass to a joke character.

Just like every other Dragon Ball character, not just Shin but he is probably the best example of this.

Out of all the Gods King Kai is by far the most useful, teaching Goku several new techniques and acting as a pretty effective mission control.

I've gone on record why I think Kami is useless. And Shin ended up not bringing a lot to the table.

Kami at least created the dragon balls and served as a pointless powe up for Piccolo

Shin................ told everyone that Buu was a thing which inadvertently led to Buu being reawakened because he brought Vegeta

He created the dragonballs, yes. He also created Piccolo and then barely contributed to defeating him. Say what you will about Shin, at least he didn't create Buu.

He Tried

He couldn't be assed to finish training Goku but he maybe trained the losers so they'd be convincing fodder for Nappa

"At Least He's Trying" sums up Shin very well.

He's also copping a very smug attitude when he first shows up that is both supremely unwarranted but also erodes hilariously quickly

He should have stayed fused with Kibito. Healing + teleport anywhere are amazing powers and Kibito does nothing anyway.

Yeah. Why did they defuse Kibito and Shin?

I mean, getting rid of Kibito in the first place was just Toriyama doing what he always does: throwing a character away because he ran out of things to do with them seconds after making them, but at least it was something for Shin.

But no, fuck them both. Now they're separate again, and Shin is still taking crap from everyone because the best Toriyama could think of for him was being completely incapable of doing anything.
