Is Kami A PUPPET Of King Kai?

In #DragonBall we know little to nothing about the guardian of our planet - Kami. What does he do exactly? Where does he figure in the role of the Supreme Kais or even with King Kai? Is he a puppet? Does he have powers we don't know about as the guardian of earth? Or is he just a guy with a stick? Let's discuss what we DO know about the roles of deities in #DragonBallZ and #DragonBallSuper to bring some understanding to how they view Goku and the Dragon Team. Is Kami pointless?

Then there is another theory. Could King Kai have put Kami or Kami's role in place to delegate certain jobs away?

This video is about us trying to decipher the mystery of the Guardian of Earth, Kami. Kami - Is He Pointless?

Of course he's not pointless, we needed him to make Piccolo relevant in the cell saga for 45 minutes!

[WorlderAsh]

His existence is justified with DBZA and the dialogue with him and nail inside Piccolo's head.

[nickbarlas]

He's not that useless. He can play mind pong with Nail while Piccolo does cool stuff... Nevermind Goku and Vegeta are here.

[Jodipo]

Speaking of ''Pointless Deities'': Remember when Supreme Kai was supposed to be a powerful and respectful god of gods? Those were the good old days. XD

When I first saw Kami I thought he was very mysterious and opened a new door for Dragonball which was set in the King Piccolo arc. But once the Frezia Arc began he became overshadowed by higher gods and beings such as King Kai. The last important role Kami played was in the Cell Arc where he fused with Piccolo. I wish we got more history about the Guardians of Earth!

[StanTheBland]

All these gods really do is watch people but when i watch people they say "you're a creep!" Unfair I say.

[tired_jack]

"Hey isnt that *your* move?"
"No"
"...He's doing the finger thing"
"Yeah well goku does that when he uses inst-
Cell: MASANKOSAPPO!
"Oh so that's what you call it".

[LordYamcha]

His Mysterious Facade had long been gone and now he is simply particles within Piccolo Jr- he was useless the moment Goku became an alien

[shiranuiprestonsaga]

I think its a god hierarchy. Every planet has a god, Directional kai's focus on parts of universes like governors, Supreme kai's and gods of destruction are incharge of the entire universe. And Zeno is just incharge of everything

[baronbeat]

If kami went to earth undisguised people might have thought he was piccolo.

[noble]

The problem with Dragon Ball characters is they're relevant until their not relevant. Then they're pushed to the side with little to no character development.

[Dusxio]

Kami still kinda counts, since even though he's namekian, he's still a mortal species, and did grow up on earth.

[Juno]

Only early squad remembers the title being “Kami - Is He pointless?”

[dawnmcauley]

Keep in mind, Kami was freakin' old! In the final arc of Dragon Ball, he attempted to retire and secede to Goku. By the time they brought Dende in, let's face it, he was a dragon ball battery. Given that Goku was offered the position of Guardian, a more active role is likely but it's represented occupants were unorthodox for such and deferred to, ironically enough given he turned down the role, Goku.

[nathanmarshall]

My headcanon retcon excuse for the supreme kai thing is that the 4 kais were supreme kais in training, like zamasu

[BrotherRoga]

I suspect Earth's guardians were instated by Shin's influence to keep watch on the world and make sure Majin Buu doesn't awaken. Maybe over time the latter purpose was more muddled though.

When Kami considered Goku for the position, he might have believed he might be well equipped to beat Majin Buu.

When Babidi showed his hand, Shin had to intervene directly.

I always thougth characters like kami, king kai, grand kai, and supreme kai could done so much more in the series. Kami was good example as he knew how t fight. I thought that after piccolo jr or some time before or after saiyans arrival that kami should made a wish to retain his yough. Alot people thought it was a selfish wish and go against anything kami stood for. But i always thought it would been opposite as he is the 'guardian' of the earth and his duty to protect it. While beings like red ribbon army he couldn't interefere in but people like piccolo, piccolo jr, garlic jr, saiyans, cells, etc all posed a threat to the earth. As guardian its his dutry to protect the earth and i believe since piccolo himself was much younger than kami that kami should least regain his youth and fight along side the other z fighters. Kami much like a lot of z chracters had potential but eventually just thrown aside.
If you werent goky, vegeta, or a siyan then you were useless and pointless to the story, to me that was alot of bull, Its reason why like fanfics and what if scenrios that have the z fighters do more than just be side line characters. Zangya, Videl, & paur just to name a few that had potential. Yes zangya movie character but to me she had potential. Videl learned to fly and control her ki in least week or two which showe GREAT potential as no one ever learned that fast and she became a house wife. Paur...well shape shifting is awesome? Imagine if paur trained and pushed her shapeshifting beyond its limitations and even have guru unlock her/his potential. paur would become a good asset to the team.

It would explain what Kami even does all day beyond “stand around and look concerned”.
