The
people of the cosmos hierarchy
Dragonball's afterlife is fleshed out in full detail with
heaven, hell all holy places and the people that live there.
Like mythology, there is a hierarchy of Gods that exists. And
each God has a responsibility in the universe. The highest
possible God is Master Kaio-shin (Dai-Kaio-shin). He is the
highest rank of all living things and all other Gods. Under his hierarchy
are four Kaio-shins, one for each sector of the universe: north,
south, east and west. Seen in the chart to the left is the east
Kaio-shin. He is the God of four galaxies in the east sector.
Under his authority are the Master Kaios (Dai-Kaios). Seen in
the chart is the north master Kaio. He is the ruler of the north
galaxy and all Gods under him. On each section of the galaxy are
four Kaios (normal Kaios) who protects their part of the galaxy.
Finally, each living planet has a God who protects it. Kami is
the God of earth in Dragonball. The Gods of this universe are
not exactly superficial being consisting of higher life forms.
In fact they act very much like humans! There is a strange aura
of power that each God possesses however. Other people that are exist
in the cosmos are Emma-Daio, who is the Judge at the city of
Hades, the gate keepers and workers of hell, heaven and the city
of Hades and anyone who dies ends up spending time here (Goku
spends a significant amount of time in the cosmos during DBZ).
Fighters who do good in their life get special privileges and
keep their bodies after death.
