South Supreme Kai (Universe 1)


 * For information regarding Southern Kaioshin as he appears in Dragonball, Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT, go to Dragon Ball Wiki.

The Supreme Kai of the South is one of the four Supreme Kais, or Kaioshins, who help defend the universe. In Universe 18, he was absorbed by Kid Buu, however, in Universe 1, he and his fellow Kais killed Bibidi, preventing Majin Buu from being born. Since then, the Supreme Kais have disabled other great threats, like Frieza, before they came to fruition. Now he is part of the committee organizing the interdimensional tournament.

The Vargas

Characteristics
He is identified as the "strongest" among the Kaioshin, and has held up this title as a major authority figure and a fierce warrior, taking action against those who would disrupt the tournament, and even mocking his opponent in battle once they are completely outmatched. He isn't without caution or rationale, for once he witnessed the power of a threat like Broly, he proposed that the universes be permanently closed with his brethren. He also volunteered to stop Majin Buu from interrupting the second round ceremony, though he was moved to awe after seeing the creature orchestrate touching music.

Abilities
Southern Supreme Kai was able to knock out Burter with one blow, and judging from comments by the Eastern Supreme Kai in Universe 18, he is likely stronger than Frieza. In U18, he was the only Supreme Kai, other than the Grand Kaioshin, able to hold his ground against Kid Buu

DBM
The Southern Kaioshin is standing with the other Kaioshins while Nail explains a bit of his background to Piccolo (Universe 18), and Nail alludes that the Eastern Supreme Kai was the one who killed Frieza in Burter of Universe 8 in the first round. In the fight, Burter proclaims himself the fastest being in the universe. Southern Kaioshin expresses his doubts and catches Burter off-guard with a swift punch to the stomach, immediately knocking him out, laughing at the fallen Ginyu member.

Throughout the tournament, the Southern Kaioshin is seen with authority when regarding certain events; when Broly goes on a rampage, one of his blasts is deflected by South Kai, who reasserts that threats like Broly are the reason the universes should remain closed; he catches a member of Universe 8 and warns him that his entire group will be disqualified if they are caught trying to steal the Dragon Balls again; and at the start of the second round ceremony, he almost attacks Majin Buu for invading the band section, but is awed by the beauty of the creature's musical talent.

Southern Kaioshin's match-up in the next round is against Majin Buu of Universe 11.
