Nobody argued about stopping Gero from waking up 18 & 17...it already happened by the time they got there...
They also tried to stop him from running away before they even knew about the others...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Nope. Vegeta completely forgets about people after he surpasses them.
But that's an if, not a given.
But that's exactly what happens. Goku's out of commission, so he can't influence things, Vegeta still doesn't want to stop things and Ten realizes he can't keep up. So the only one to change their is Piccolo, and he does so because Trunks urges him to do so.
Wow Manga-Jiren is such an asshole too.
He didn't even try to help Toppo & Dyspo. He just shot them a look of utter contempt & let them fall to their elimination without lifting a finger to help.
Fucking cold man.
Also how come going out of bounds fixes your clothes & wounds?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."So I feel like a thing about Dragon Ball Minus that gets. I dunno, forgotten? Is that it's basically a bonus chapter to Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.
And I might be alone, but Jaco might be one of my favorite parts of Dragon Ball now.
The underlying gag is that it's the shaggiest of shaggy dog stories. The shittiest member of the already kinda shitty Galactic Patrol has one job and he fucks it up.
And, best of all, him fucking up is possibly the best result.
It makes all of Dragon Ball this cavalcade of fuck-ups and failures and incompetence from beginning to end, and I kinda love it.
With the Bardock Special, there's a sense of pathos there? Of, like, of course, Bardock saw the future, Goku will avenge them and save the universe and it's destiny and all that. There's tragedy there. But also seriousness. Drama.
Like, there's a saying about how Tragedy and Comedy are basically the same genre and that's sort of true to an extent, but. Jaco the Galactic Patrolman goes past Comedy and right into Farce.
...I'm pretty sure Gine's last line in Dragon Ball Minus is "watch out for the Galactic Patrol" and to me that's sorta definitive. Because Kakarot and Jaco never see each other until Kakarot is Goku, 30 or so years after the fact.
I find it hilarious as a gag.
"Watch out for the Galactic Patrol" is basically the punchline for Dragon Ball Minus.
Minus itself comes at the very end, after the last chapter of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, and after seeing what a bumbling and useless waste of space Jaco is, we then have Gine having to warn her son about him.
Because apparently that's what Kakarot should be scared of. Not the dangers of Earth, or Freeza finding he's escaped. But Jaco.
It's legitimately funny to me.
And, best of all, him fucking up is possibly the best result.

Heh. When you look at it that way, there is a sort of dark humour to it.
One Strip! One Strip!I mean, part of me likes the idea of, for example, Vegeta and Raditz only surviving
because Vegeta's just a little asshole.

There wasn't much (if any) dumb decision making in the King Piccolo, Saiyan and Namek arcs. Surprisingly, other than Goku forgetting the seal for the Mafuba, there isn't much bad decision making in the Super anime either. Its only in the Android and Pre-Piccolo DB arcs where we see characters grabbing the Idiot Ball just to move the plot. Even the bad choices in the Buu arc were at least in character.
I like to think that Freeza's race is just that, and King Cold was really lazy so he named his son after their race.
King Cold was never important, nor is he treated with any reverence.
Whereas Raditz was Goku's brother, one of the last remaining saiyans, and the entire introduction to Z. I mean, relatively speaking Raditz proved to be unimportant. But he could have been important.

"There's not a girl alive who wouldn't be happy being called cute." ~Tamamo-no-Mae

Tien wanted to test himself, Piccolo seemed willing to go along with whatever, Krillin and Yamcha, I think were against but decided to train anyway.
Goku wanted to fight, obviously, and Vegeta explicitly threatens anyone who'd try and stop them from being unleashed.
