A pair of violently angry teenagers? Seems pretty normal to me.
How would he not be able to control an infinite energy model if he himself was in one? Is he gonna rebel against himself?
I mean, considering his track record, I could see it happening anyway but still...
One Strip! One Strip!That's also a good question.
The answer is, because Toriyama didn't think of it.
Well ok, the real answer is because he kept changing his story due to the influence of an old editor. This is why you plan things out.
One Strip! One Strip!Why didn't Gero gather the Dragonballs and use them himself, whether to kill Goku, or solve any software problems he had with the android?
Wasn't the Red Ribbon Army's entire mission to gather the Dragonballs? I don't think any of the leaders we met were ignorant of what the balls could supposedly do. Gero had years where Goku and his friends weren't actively fighting anyone or searching for the balls.
Pilaf of all people managed to locate a Dragonball so he must have had obscene luck or a radar of some kind, so it's hard to believe Gero, whose technology was so advanced even Bulma couldn't quite figure it out, couldn't do the same and build his own radar.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!To say nothing of the fact that it's Pilaf.
How do you not just kick his ass and take them from him?
There is another possibility:
Gero was monitoring them at all times right? Maybe that bug he was using heard about the rule that the dragon can't do dick to someone more powerful than it's creator.
I admit, it's iffy, but it's still possible...
No. Who am I kidding? Toriyama just didn't think of it.

One Strip! One Strip!Heck, even when you keep up you have editors standing over your shoulder giving you orders. "Stretch this out" "more of this character, less of that" "better cut this arc short".

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"What's incredible is that despite all that the series still maintained a general high & entertaining quality with it only losing steam right in the final arc.
Even then I'd take the shit that happens in the Buu Saga over the shit that happened in say Naruto's final arc which encountered similar problems.
Oh crap he is?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."The thing is, Naruto's final arc was way, way too stretched out, but I think the actual actual end was superior to how DB ended. Like, it felt like Kishimoto had been planning for that actual end to happen for a while but then either got a mandate to stretch the war arc out or just totally underestimated how much of an undertaking it would be.

YES YES YES, the Piccolo outfit is way better for Gohan than the turtle Gi.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.That's circumstantial and can be ignored at any point to prolong discussion.
But there must be something really specific about power in DB that even a manually controlled robot can lose control from having too much power.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I really wonder what would've happened if Toriyama had stuck to his original guns of keeping Gero the Big Bad for the entire Android Saga. Rather difficult to think about given how iconic the Cell Saga became, particularly Cell himself, 18, and Gohan achieving Super Saiyan 2.
I mean, writers do their best work when their editors force them to think bigger than their own ideas
That said the segment of the Buu saga where the Great Saiyaman is introduced is the best part of all of Dragon Ball
