Actually, no one with any decency fucks with the White Mage.

It's pretty clear that Freeza's murdering him mere seconds after saying that is the former's way of saying that he doesn't care about that kind of shit...and also the plot's way of punishing Dende for getting full of himself.

More like you don't fuck with your own white mage, but you definitely fuck with the enemies white mage.

It's not like Toei gave a shit about what state of health their characters are in. Vegeta went from exhausting his Ki using his suicide attack to SSB in the next episode. Goku was given some ki by Freiza, but also explicitly was exhausted after fighting with Kefla, then went SSBKK 20 against Jiren. Buu would actually make it less contrived.

Boo lets you have the characters get exhausted/injured at some points earlier in the tournament with the option of having them recover for later moments (without just going 'lol stamina' and having them recover with no reason). Put some decent limits on the ability and you can create extra tension with it as well.

I look forward to the interactions between Little Green and Satan. Obvious God and Devil joke incoming.

And i wonder if he will still hate Krillin

does healing really matter when ring outs are a thing anyway?

I agree they could have just put some real limits on it, but they'd rather just keep Buu out of the story period.

Again, the Zen'os could have just eliminated Buu himself due to his powers making the fight boring.

Also those little shits found basically everything to ever happen to be cool so that definitely wouldn't happen.

Ya know while I get the point is that the Zeno’s are easily impressed, it kinda takes the entertainment outta their commentary when they say the exact same thing nearly exact every time.

[up][up][up] That is true.

Remember when Kale and Caulifla using the Potara was explicitly pointed out to be breaking the rules, but the Zen'oes were like, "Yeah but it's awesome so we'll allow it!"

Any semblance of rules were explicitly proven to be a myth.

He can allow Goku, one of their favourite fighters, to continue fighting. That seems like it would be enough to please the Zenos.

The rules only mattered until the Zenos said they didn't. The exposition fights before the actual tournament should have made that clear.

The only time when rules when enforced is when Frost tried to kill Freeza and he got Ret-Gone as a result.

Remember when Jiren did that to those that were in the stands? Yeah, totally legal and the Ze'nos kept the fight going. I call bullshit

Frost didn't get Ret-Gone, otherwise everybody would wonder why Universe 6 only entered the tournament with nine fighters, even Universe 6 themselves.

Frost "merely" got blipped from existence.

Technically, a fighter attacking the stands from the ring and a fighter attacking the ring from the stands are two different scenarios. Only the latter was against the rules.

So, doesn't Mr. Satan saying in Episode 59 that nobody can move faster than the eye can see not make sense given that, in the Buu Saga, (I think it might even be in the manga) he moves faster than the eye can see to take out the sniper that shoots Bee?

Well, he has seven years to train and become that fast after witnessing what he witnessed at the Cell Games.

I remember some Toei filler where Mr. Satan, upon witnessing Goten and Trunks's fight in the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai, convinced himself that human flight is achievable through upper body strength.

Okay, so maybe he was wrong. At least about the execution.

...How much ki do you need to fly, anyway? Like, what power level?

Goku could do a kamehameha a day and destroy a car with a power level of only 10.

Vegeta spamming ki blasts on Zarbon weakened Zarbon enough for Vegeta to kill him, meaning each blast took less energy from Vegeta than it took Zarbon to survive it.

Freeza soldiers can fly but also use blasters instead of ki blasts. Though those blasters might be amplifiers or something.
