He is also involved in Dragon Ball Online and Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.
#IS DRAGON BALL Z KAI CANON SERIES#
There’s no doubt Kai is a badass word to call the updated version of Dragon Ball Z, but for me, whenever I hear the word Kai I will think of the moody kid from the original Bey Blades series named Kai, who had the cool blue spinning disc. When somebody brings up 'canon' they usually refer to the works that Akira Toriyama was involved in, and that is limited to His manga series which includes 520 chapters, his newest Jaco mini series and the Dragon Ball Minus one shot. So due to the updated graphics and removal of filler content, Kai seemed like an appropriate thing to call this new version of Dragon Ball Z due to both the means and the obvious link to the Kai’s in the Dragon Ball Z universe. So although Kai’s literal translation is King of Kings, it can also mean updated, modified or altered.Ī similar thing in English is Boss, as it is both a job title, but also a slang description of something cool or strong. In English, words rarely have two meanings, but in other languages and especially when trying to translate them to English, words can sometimes mean different things in different contexts. If you translate King Kai’s name literally, then it comes out as King King of Worlds, which is slightly ridiculous.īut King Kai, who is technically the North Kai, is a fun character who loves cracking jokes, so it’s possible Toriyama was just having a bit of fun.Īnd since Kai is a name, you aren’t supposed to translate it literally, so just accept his name is King Kai.Īlthough technically his job is King Kai, and he probably has another name he had before he became King Kai, but we aren’t told it in the anime or manga. Yes, just like Bond, James Bond, an ATM Machine (Automatic Transfer Machine Machine).
So does King Kai means King King of Worlds? We know from the Dragon Ball Black Arc that Kai’s must be trained and so presumably have names before they become Kai’s but then lose their names and only become known by their titles.
Then above the Grand Kai is the Supreme Kai.
#IS DRAGON BALL Z KAI CANON MOVIE#
is the only movie on the list since its canon to Dragon Ball Super. There is a Kai for each part of the universe, the North, South, East and West, as well as a Grand Kai. Dragon Ball Kai has only 2 filler episodes, which makes it have only 1 of filler. Kai’s are the rulers of the universe, only below The God of Destruction and The Angel. Just like Kami is the Earth’s Guardian and Beerus is the Destroyer. So manga like Dragon Ball Minus is still canon, even if it references anime only material (Plus the anime only material of DB/Z for the most part doesn't contradict the manga, it only adds to it.
