@kyrees: "king kai governs everyone while whis supervises beerus the destroyer. beerus is the direct opposite of the kais and supreme kais. in relativity, beerus is no different from buu but with the former allowed to do his destruction."
-I thought Whis was Birus's opposite, and the Kais have almost nothing to do with them? Regardless, I was referring more to what constitutes the state of being a god lol it's properties seem to change with each tier:
Kami and Guru are just alien sages who can TP the afterlife, more like prophets than actual Gods. The Kai's status has zero to do with their ki, as many non-gods eclipse them, but Birus and Whis's status apparently has everything to do with their ki. Both the Kai's and BOG antagonists are gods, but the reasoning behind it is wishy washy.
It doesn't even have to do with whether they are fundemental to the universe or not, as Kami is just an alien sage with TP and SSG seemingly has nothing at all to do with providing any sort of fundemental service to the universe. Even the Kais are basically just space wizards, and Buu is basically a space genie.
Birus and Whis are the first gods in DBZ to be both fundemental to the universe as a whole and differentiated from other life by the makeup of their ki, but by now the meaning of the word "god" in dbz is so tarnished it's hard to see Birus and Whis as anything more than "strong cat guy" and "strong time guy". The only thing that makes them remotely godlike, in a realistic sense, is Whis's time hax, which apparently works like a universal undo button. Even King Yamma's role is more god-like than the Kai's and Kami, IMO.
