Biography

The Elder Kaiōshin is a companion and advisor to Shin, the current Kaiōshin of Universe 7. His given name is not known. He is the product of a Potara fusion with an old witch who is the source of some of his mysterious powers,[1] and he served as Kaiōshin in Universe 7 fifteen generations before Shin.[2] He was trapped in the Z Sword during a trivial quarrel with the God of Destruction Beerus, who had been visiting the Kaiōshin Realm for their millennial coordination meeting.[3][4] The sword was secured in rock, and none of the Kaiōshin had ever been strong enough to pull it out.[5] Son Gohan becomes the first to retrieve the sword,[6] which is broken during his training when Shin encourages him to test the sword's strength against Katchin Steel.[2] The Elder Kaiōshin then performs a ritual to increase Gohan's power.[7] He later gives his life to Son Goku so that Goku can fight Majin Boo,[8] and his life is restored by the Namekian Dragon Balls after Boo is defeated.[9]
