This is true.
That being said, lets hope we don't have a certain fat bubble gum idiot falling asleep again.
That fucking card has been played far too often. I expect to see some good fights out of Buu this time.
Though there's also the possibility that he gets himself disqualified by turning someone into candy if there's a rule against it.
One Strip! One Strip!Eh. It wasn't justified in Resurrection F beyond (out loud, though I assume he just didn't leave because there was no time to do so).
It's clear Toriyama just thinks Roshi is a better choice to work with for some reason or another.
One Strip! One Strip!This is true.
Still, suddenly showing such interesting in getting Roshi back on the battlefield after keeping him out of the spotlight for so long is rather strange. It's the same thing that led to him randomly bringing back the Pilaf gang, and the bullshit Trunks / Mai pairing.
The thing is, now he has to go to the trouble of justifying Roshi being able to fight with the strongest fighters in 12 universes.
One Strip! One Strip!Just because they're the strongest fighters from all twelve universes doesn't necessarily mean they're all that strong. For all we know, there may be a universe where the strongest mortal there is only on par with Saiyan Saga Vegeta.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!That's fair enough.
It'll be interesting to see if Toriyama writes them being paired up like that.
I mean, he can do fights between equal or near equal opponents, but one dude (barring a surprise technique of some sort) is usually guaranteed to win if he's stronger.
The one time two fighters were 100% equal was 17 vs Piccolo, and not only was it implied that old Big Green would have eventually lost due to 17's infinite energy generator, but the only reason narratively that the fight even went on like that is so that Cell could find them.
But with so many fighters on the heroes side, and 12 universes to choose from, there's bound to be a few relative weaklings that Roshi and Krillin can fight against. I just don't think he's gonna be fair enough to put them up against Roshi and Krillin.
One Strip! One Strip!If it was, the answer is: fuck no.
It's wrong to let kids fight? Anything that could remotely threaten those two is a guaranteed death sentence for the humans.
They're idiots? Majin Boo is on the team. Sure, Majin Boo is much stronger, but he's just as liable to make a dumb mistake. And they're far, far stronger than the humans, so if any dumb mistake they could make (despite their massive power advantage) could harm the team, Boo is just as liable of making the same sort of mistake.

At which point, don't bring Roshi and let literally anyone else solo the tournament.
This tournament would have to have some really friggin weird rules to make sense of Roshi and Ten coming. Like, to the level of not really being a tournament and being more like a team-based puzzle challenge.
that's actually funny

Culprit = mis-communication?
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.
That I doubt. I don't understand his reasons, nor will I, but nonetheless, he's put Roshi (and to a lesser extent, Tien) on the team, so that's that.
To be fair, Tien does nothing but train, so he's probably maintain his strength level of Weaker then everyone but Yamcha, Chiaotzu and Roshi.
Plus, there still ways for both to potentially get stronger: More training with King Kai, and Old Kai's Hidden Power releasing ceremony. Not that we know how much they can even improve.
One Strip! One Strip!I mean. What about psychological shit?
They're both relatively sheltered compared to most of the adults, even after the clusterfuck that was Buu. They might get PTSD, or have a PTSD attack from Buu, or crack under the pressure of their entire universe being at stake.
Like, some kids have had breakdowns over messing up at a recital. Because they're young, and don't have much life experience. Which makes prioritizing and weighing consequences tricky.
Like, yeah, Saiyan babies conquer planets, but according to Gine that's dangerous, and not all infiltrator babies survive, and more to the point, they don't do it all in a day.
Also, Trunks and Goten are only half-Saiyan, and have been raised in human society with human cultural norms, on Earth. Their lives have been mostly peaceful, except for the incident involving the pink bubblegum monster who still lives with them.
The first, last, and only time they were relied upon by Goku to save the day, they literally ended up making things worse because of the fact that they're dumb kids.
Twice in a row, even.
At least Buu has a track record of being effective some of the time.
Granted, that's only been when he's been their enemy trying to kill them, but. Still. Theoretically.

They're not human, though. Saiyans appear to be incapable of being mentally traumatized and, while they're not bloodthirsty, Goten, Trunks and even Gohan appear to have obtained the impossibly high levels of mental resilience that allows Goku and Vegeta to shrug off traumatic events.
Goten and Trunks even easily bounced back from learning their entire families were dead. Sure, it solidified their resolve to kill Super Buu... but they still screwed around instead of attacking in a blind rage.
So, yeah, Goten and Trunks getting PTSD? A ridiculous prospect. They just don't give a shit.

Or they fear that Goten and Trunks may do something incredibly stupid and screw them over, because Goten and Trunks are dumb.
