And all death from natural causes, like with Guru.

Or Goku's heart virus. That's why that would have been such a problem, even if Piccolo wasn't killed by the androids.

I agree that the balance between good and evil trope sucks.

I just don't consider death and destruction evil in and of themselves.

Losing a loved one is painful, yes. The end can be scary.

But if nothing died, we'd all starve. We'd be more overpopulated then we are already. We would be surrounded by mayflies and bacteria.

You know the key strategic weakness of the human race? The dead outnumber the living.

Disease counts as a natural cause in this case.

And obviously, if no one evil could die they'd just remain in power forever.

Again, like Yveltal and Xerneas; neither is evil nor good.

There's a reason why the Greek gods got pissed off at Sisyphus for tricking Thanatos into getting tied up so that nobody could die. It screwed up the entire world.

Well then, why don't they just sit back and let Beerus destroy the planet? Or Buu? Or King Piccolo?

[up][up][up][up] Same reason we didn't let Hitler raze the entire world: because it's cold-blooded murder that denies a person a natural death.

Immortality would suck; even if it applied to everyone, population over-crowding would increase infinitely and resources would run out forever.

Death is natural. You can't stop death. It will happen. Even stars burn out. To end something before its time, that is unnatural and cruel. That is evil.

Because we're selfish? We don't care about someone else being hurt, as long as it's not close to us. If it comes over to our backyard, it's suddenly a crime that has to be stopped.

The characters have probably destroyed a lot from just collateral damage. But they never get to see the consequences.

And to take pleasure in causing someone death is even more evil.

[up] We care, we just can't always deal with it in the way we want to. Look at Darfur: a lot of people did charity work to raise awareness for it, but a lot of people don't even know about Darfur's situation, or about the Janjaweed.

I like to imagine every ki blast deflected into space destroyed a civilization.

Vegeta's Final Flash wrecked somebody's day.

Actually, now that I think about it, didn't the Japanese version of Bo G have Goku go "Don't make fun of destruction!", or something like that? Instead of the "I will not let you destroy my world!"

Considering just how big the universe is, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that the Final Flash just launched off harmlessly into space before dissipating. It's not like a ki blast goes on forever.

What if TFS does a gag about the Final Flash hitting a planet? Like how they did that "ricola" gag before.

[up][up] I would be up for that.

Although, didn't they make a joke about that in the Freeza fight? "You won't be destroying any more planets! ...Except for that one."
