Why doesn't a villain ever try to blow up the sun?

[precita]

Instead of blowing up the Earth, why don't they try to blow up the Sun? I assume in the Dragonball world, just like in real life, without a Sun everyone on Earth would die instantly.

So why did that never happen?

[Boo Machine]

Same reason they never blow up the Earth right away I suppose. The villain usually likes the challenge or wants to fight and humiliate Goku or whomever.

Or maybe an exploding sun would be too much to handle? But that's just guessing on my part.

[RedRibbonSoldier#42]

Cell was going too, villians before him are maybe unable too and villians after him (Buu, Beerus) are just in it for the the fights.

[ABED]

Lucifer tries to in DB Movie 2.

[Kanassa]

Blowing up the moon meant jack shit, so what's blowing up the sun gonna do? You think NOW they're gonna apply that line of logic now?

[Gog]

Maybe... They couldn't actually blow up the sun pre DBS? As they weren't strong enough to do so

[Merged Zamasu]

Or even better...why don't you try to CORRUPT the sun with your evil energy?

So far, only Merged Zamasu has thought of that.

[Ki Breaker]

Hey! What kinda monsters you think they are! They care for other people living in the solar system..
Good old freeza, he always cared

You don't need a moon to sustain life. You need a sun.

Wasn't the Earth's core dangerous to Goku? I can't imagine an exploding sun is something he could just shrug off.

Do you mean Namek's core?

[Grimlock]

So why did that never happen?

Because Goku's power doesn't come from the Sun.

I'm pretty sure that when and if the Sun obtains an important role, he'll be destroyed.

[ABED]

That makes it sound like Goku's a primadona.

Do you mean Namek's core?

There was an episode right after the Trunks arc where Bulma sends him underground to the Earth's core and he needs a suit to keep him alive down there. I assume a sun exploding would kill him if he needs protection against the Earth's core.

[ABED]

I've never seen Super.

[FoolsGil]

Because the easiest, smartest route isn't usually taken in shonen.

[TheGreatness25]

Because... that's suicide? First of all, they'd need a blast to reach the sun. Now, I can't speak for Super, but I don't think that the villains before Boo (at least) could do that.

Even if so, the only villain who seemed willing to sacrifice himself was Cell -- even though he thought that his actual failsafe was fool-proof and it could be possible that he expected to return anyway. Other than that, no villain was suicidal. If you blow up the sun, it creates a black hole and everything in the solar system will be destroyed. Yeah, every villain except for Cell who had the bright idea to blow up the Earth was pretty okay doing so because they could breathe in space. If they blew up the sun, regardless of their space breathing ability, they'd be dead.

[DBZAOTA482]

Cell tried to blow up the sun after he came back with the zenkai but other that no villain has tried it because they weren't about that.

You don't need a moon to sustain life. You need a sun.

I didn't say that, my point was that it's unlikely they' take in to account the effects of blowing up the sun when they never took into account the effects of losing the moon.

I still don't see a big difference. Okay, you didn't say that, but the effect of blowing up the moon is competely different than blowing up a sun.
