The DBZ's Cosmos

In Dragonball heaven, hell, holy places and all the gods of the universe is mapped out in some detail, much like Roman mythology where there are gods above gods. This section covers all of the mysteies of the after world and then some.

What does the universe look like?

Strange how big Dragonball really is, I could almost never understand how things are structured in the universe. The world guide has a map of the cosmos, but its very ambiguous. What you see to the left is a conceptual diagram of the all things in Dragonball. Before you continue reading keep in mind that this diagram is a theoretical map of the universe not an actual one. The whole circle represents the universe. To clarify what that means, it is the existence of everything: all life, moons, planets, galaxies, heaven, hell and holy places. All the colored ovals within the circle are sectors of the universe. The center represents the holy area, with all the Kaio-shin's planets and stars. Within each sector contains a cluster of galaxies which each Kaio-shin watches over. The East section of the universe is where the Dragonball story takes place, with the East Kaio-shin watching.

Little is known about happens in the other sectors of the universe. What is known is that long ago Majin Buu wrecked havoc on those sectors and killed or absorbed their respective Kaio-shin's. The red dots represent the galaxies in the East sector. Each galaxy has a Master Kaio (Dai-Kaio) watching their respective galaxy. In the north galaxy there are four Kaios watching each section of the milky way. The Kaio (King Ki) we know is the watcher of the north side of the milky way.

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.
