User blog:David102745/A Short Analysis Of A Universe In DB

A Universe In DB Is Basically A Sphere With A Smaller Sphere Orbiting Around It.

The Larger Sphere Is Known As The Macrocosm, And The Smaller Sphere Is Known As The Kaioshin Realm.

The Macrocosm Is Divided Into The Living World (Where Living Beings Reside) And The Afterlife (Where Dead Beings, Some Supernatural Creatures And Some Deities Reside).

The Living World Is Divided Into The Demon Realm (Where Demons Reside) And The Mortal Universe (Where Non-Supernatural Life Forms Reside).

The Mortal Universe Is Divided Into Four Quadrants, Each Ruled By A Kaio.

The Afterlife Is Divided Into Hell (Ruled By Enma Daio), The Enma Realm (Also Ruled By Enma Daio) And The Kaio Realm (Ruled By The Dai-Kaio).

The Afterlife Isn't Just Home To Dead Beings And Some Gods, It Is Also The Home Of The Oni, ogre-like monsters of Japanese myth. They are portrayed as the administrators of the afterlife, assisting the judge of the dead, Enma Daio (Great King Enma, aka King Yama), a figure taken from Buddhist and Hindu mythology. Daizenshuu 7 says that Mister Popo and Karin are also beings native to the afterlife, sent to Earth to assist its God. Similar assistants from the afterlife are sent to the gods of each world. In addition, Akkuman’s race of devils is from the afterlife (Hell to be exact). According to Goku, time doesn’t exist in the afterlife, though it’s not clear just what this entails, other than that using Super Saiyan 3 there is easier.

The Kaioshin Realm Is The Place Where The Kaioshins Reside. It is a special realm completely separate from the Macrocosm And the afterlife, universe, and Demon Realm are all enclosed within. It’s made up of a giant crystalline sphere, about 1/10th the size of the macrocosm, and it revolves around the macrocosm like a moon. Inside this sphere are numerous suns (some of which are depicted as moons in the anime), and at the center is the Kaioshin Planet. While the Dai-Kaio and 4 regular Kaio live on separate planets separated by millions of kilometers, their superiors, the 5 Kaioshins all live together on this sacred world, which Kibito says not even the Dai-Kaio is permitted to enter. The only way to reach this realm is by teleportation: East Kaioshin himself relies on Kibito’s Kai-Kai technique, while Goku uses his own Instant Movement, and Boo gets here by copying Kibito-Shin.
