Kami knew how to rebuild bodies, Kami is Piccolo now. Or, the Supreme Kai is around and can move anywhere he desires, and, as a goddamn creation deity, he'd be able to rebuild their bodies and have them battle ready.
As always, the Buu saga makes sense if you don't stop to think. Oh well, opportunities for humor then.
God also knew how to make Dragon Balls but that didn't mean Piccolo could do it back in the Cell arc. Piccolo is not God. Piccolo ate God. God isn't a factor now.
We don't know if Kaioshin can bestow people's bodies to them. We do know King Enma can do it, 'cause of Vegeta. But time is also a factor, especially in the manga.
The anime gives the protagonists breathing room to figure out a plan of attack, so "Give Gohan his body and bring Halo Gohan here to fight" might actually have been an option there. But in the manga, it's basically
- Vegeta: Kakarot, you suck!
- Kaioshin: What do we do now?
- Pure Buu: (teleporting in) CONTINUE FIGHTING ME, THAT'S WHAT!!!
- Kaioshin: HOLY SHIT WHY
- Pure Buu: A HAHA HAHAHA!!!
Anime Pure Buu goes on a rampage across the universe and afterlife until they do a thing to draw him to Kaioshin's world. But Manga Pure Buu just feels out where his opponents escaped to and goes straight there once he's done destroying the Earth.
It's a much smaller time window for any kind of shenanigans. They basically only have enough time to dumbf*ckedly break the Potara like assholes before Buu's upon them.

Eh, the Spirit Bomb worked, didn't it? There's no use complaining that they didn't use one of the two other methods that would have worked when they already used a method that worked. If the Spirit Bomb didn't work, then I would understand complaining about not bring Gotenks or Gohan, but the Spirit Bomb did work, so they weren't needed. They even bring up Gohan as a viable alternative to the Spirit Bomb plan, but Vegeta wanted the people of Earth to pull some damn weight for a change, and it's not like they couldn't have just gone to get Gohan if the Spirit Bomb did end up failing.
Which also has a weird effect of making it superior to Whis's version too. We see in both the Super anime and manga that Whis's transit power takes time.

When he absorbed South Supreme Kai, he get swole as hell and was even more powerful.

One Strip! One Strip!Good ol' Daikaioshin.
I still love the fact that the English translators turned the gods' titles into names. They started it when they left "Kami", meaning God, untranslated and just said he's a dude named Kami and he's the Guardian of Earth.
Then they partially translated only the "o" from Kaio, "The King of the World", into "King Kai". "Kai" became his species or some shit, and he's a King-level Kai, alongside "Grand Kai" Daikaio and "Supreme Kai" Kaioshin.
But my number one favorite is "Daikaioh", the English name for the Grand Supreme Kai, Daikaioshin. They couldn't just call him "Grand Supreme Kai", following suit from the other Kaio translations, they had to make a name out of it. And they cut off the "shin" entirely while doing so, resulting in him just being Daikaio with a random h at the end.
Man, Beerus is lucky that Toriyama gave him an actual name. Otherwise, the English translation would have probably said his name was Hakai or something. And then how cool could he be? Nobody wants to be Hawkeye.

Did you?
I question your claim of having little control over the situation. I think you had more willpower than you're willing to admit, and just refused to make use of it.
One Strip! One Strip!How many times can you shit on something before it piles up?
Especially when no one cares about it anymore?
After a while all that's left is the smell and you wonder even if this thing deserved it, was it worth that stink?
.....getting back to the point of this thread (since I kinda derailed it)....
....um....wen...Bojack...?
One Strip! One Strip!I'm well aware that I'm not one to talk.
That's why all of you must be better than me.
But not more handsome. That's impossible. It's literally in my name.
But seriously, do we know when Bojack Abridged is dropping?
One Strip! One Strip!

Okay, just remembered, they were teleporting into the fucking afterlife. Gohan and co. would make it there anyway.
