He didn't allow it - it happened faster than he expected and he witnessing something that made him freeze. When he has a plan in mind the story tells us what it is, this one was just for shock effect to let us know how horrible Cell was. The Boo Saga example I mentioned because he had a moment to think and come to a decision - one that he struggled with- and in the end it was for nothing. (Also no, Dende and the others were alive while he was in the RoSAT)BWri wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:49 am
But he is. In the Cell saga, for whatever reason, probably a strategic one, he let Cell absorb that rich human. In the Buu saga, as you mention below, he allowed Buu to wipe out humanity for a strategic advantage. Also in the Buu saga, he basically sentenced himself and Gotenks to death in order to trap Buu in the Room of Spirit and Time, (I believe he thought Dende was dead at the time). Before he knew Whis was a badass who trained GoD's, he attempted to use him as a hostage to prevent Beerus from destroying Earth. He's basically shown to be the pragmatic one of the group. Of course he would make the hardhearted decisions. He's the first one that would.
It's the same thing as when he sacrificed his life for Gohan. He knew that his death meant the death of Kami and therefore no more dragon balls so Gohan and co. could've been brought back, but his instinctual fear of Gohan getting killed at all prompted him to act before he thought. He is now at a place where this same instinctual response can be extended to characters that he isn't that close with. That's a sign he's more compassionate. Hence him also being against killing the three Macaronis.
Not it didn't. That was the point of that scene, the futility of that decision. And it might've been a lesson for him as well - to maybe not immediately jump to making the hardhearted decisions as they rarely pay off.Not really. It still bought some time, likely a few extra minutes for the boys. He instantly regretted it, but really, what else was he to do? Buu would've probably just killed everyone on the lookout anyway then eventually wipeout humanity. The hope would be that he doesn't decide to destroy the lookout, because there goes Goten and Trunks with it. I mean, he could've tried luring him away to fight somewhere else, but realistically the fight wouldn't have lasted long and Buu wouldn't be interested anyway.
Again, what he did was humane and right and I would've far more disappointed in his characterization being written as someone that sees someone falling to their death and he just lets it happen.
