You're right, there's nothing stating that in the series because it's common sense. It's only logical that ordinary beings from alternate universes might be powerful enough to surpass Majin Boo. That's just how alternate realities work. It's something the audience doesn't necessarily have to be told.
Just like they don't have to be told that someone like Freeza can be surpassed by a robot or cyborg. The audience understands how robots and science works.
Except that it's not common sense at all, it's your own conjecture. I read superhero comics from time to time and have read about alternate universes and realities. No, it is not always or even usually a component that the rules work differently or that the alternate universe is naturally stronger. And if it was, the writers would state so because they would want the reader to
know this, not merely assume it. More often than not, the rules work exactly the same in the alternate universe.
I wasn't a fan of Rildo mainly because he didn't really need to be stronger than Buu. If we're being fair, an alien scientist working for decades to build a robot stronger than Buu is more believable than some of the powerups we've had in DBS.
Maybe not, but the line from Goku was just there to show how far he had come since EoZ, nothing more to it, really.
I can give Hit and Jiren a pass because we don't know what they've done and could've been training for hundreds of years. I don't mind Broly either because he's not just another prodigy who out-trained everyone. His power rose on its own when he was angry but training with Goku is probably necessary to help him control it so that he wouldn't be a mindless berserker.
I'm also fine with this. I just brought up the Broly/Jiren examples to show why it's not necessarily any more logical than scientists creating a being like Rildo. They're all subject to have their power by however the writer sees fit, and Dragon Ball has demonstrated over and over again that it's open to doing this by whatever means. I don't even have a huge issue with natural prodigies within this series tbh.
Why does anyone try to apply internal logic to power scaling in Dragon Ball? The characters are as strong as they need to be. That’s all there is to it.
Precisely. I mean I can understand enjoying speculating for fun, but people act like Dragon Ball has these rigid rules, which it has never abided by.
