Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
In this "game" an user brings a desicion made by a character that they consider to be stupid and another one has to give a razional explanation to that user as to why said desicion was not stupid. For sake of organization it would be ideal to deal with one character per user calling out their "stupid" desicions.
This include but is not limited to all animated media in the franchise as well as its manga counterpart.
I´ll begin:
Stupid desicion made by Piccolo in the Freeza Arc: Piccolo asking to be sent to Namek just after wishing to be revieved to bring back God on Earth and restoring the Dragon Balls

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Piccolo went to Namek to fight and you have to admit he was helpful in the beginning after fusing with Nail. Also, he needed the fusion with Nail in order to keep up before SSJ2 appeared.

Re: Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
Seems like a fun enough idea, and I do love fun little discussions on stuff like this.
Guess I'll go in with one that I know a lot of people love to throw out there, but I defend myself, just to see what defense someone else would come up with - Kuririn destroys the remote to disable Android 18 instead of doing so and killing her. Stop thinking with your crotch man!
Well, in all fairness, she did probably think that Goku and them would have taken care of the Androids by then. They did all but nothing but train for three years for crying out loud!floofychan333 wrote:Here's mine: Bulma brings Baby Trunks to watch the fight with the Androids. Seriously, how dumb can you get?

Re: Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
I think Krillin also didn't truly think 18 was evil, so he didn't want her to deactivate her which would essentially mean killing her. If Goku could let Piccolo and Vegeta go when they were evil, why couldn't Krillin give 18 the benefit of the doubt?
Why didn't Piccolo fuse with Kami when the Saiyans were coming to Earth if he knew that would increase his power? In the Cell arc it seems he always knew that, so why not do it before the Saiyans showed up?

Re: Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
My guess is so that he would still have the Dragonballs in case piccolo would ever need them. Heck it's the reason everyone wanted to keep him alive. Even the saiyans at one point.
Was Piccolo aware of his heritage in the Saiyan arc? I can't remember the exact moment he found out. Because if not, then he probably wasn't aware fusion was a thing he could even do until he met Nail.
Why did no one look for the Dragonballs to search and destroy the androids and Gero? It was brought up and shot down, but I'm surprised no one was willing to do it on their own just because Goku and a couple others didn't want to. With the way Trunks describes his horrifying future I'd assume that someone would be a little more cautious.

Re: Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
I think I recall Goku saying that Dr Gero hadn't done anything bad yet, so it wouldn't be fair to kill him over an evil act he had yet to commit. Plus, the Z-Fighters were looking for a challenge. The was the only legitimate excuse given.
Why in God's name did Goku give Cell a senzu? It still boggles my mind to this day. Never mind that Goku had no idea just how strong Cell was, but it was already an insane gamble to throw Gohan into the lions den without any plan and just hoping that he'd be able to spontaneously tap into the hidden power that he saw when he was training with Gohan in the ROSAT and defeat Cell. I don't give a shit how much Goku loves fighting and a good competition. That was such a fucking reckless thing to do. It essentially put Gohan at a disadvantage. And for what? A fair fight? Fuck that nonsense. Give me a legitimate reason why Goku pulled a stunt like that.

Bardock saying that they would soon be tracked down by their scouters if they flee with Goku. If they would be tracked down, shouldn't they just... you know... Throw away their scouters!?
No one tracked down Tarble, by the way. Well, not until Abo and Cado (although we don't know if they tracked him down, or met him because they would attack the planet), but it took years for it to happen.

Maybe they meant Freeza would use his scouters to track their energy since they had not learned ki suppression?Grimlock wrote:Bardock saying that they would soon be tracked down by their scouters if they flee with Goku.

Next one, why did Freeza not do a few push ups (for literally just a few days) to reach, like, SSJ3 level before going to Earth?

Why didn't Raditz finish off Goku before turning his attention to the unconscious Gohan? He was in the middle of doing that anyway before he was interrupted, and it's not like Gohan's going anywhere. Just imagine how much trouble he could've avoided if he finished what he started.

Why didn't the Z Fighters realize Gohan was alive in the Buu Saga?
Not so much a stupid decision, but a stupid moment nonetheless.

The Z fighter's didn't believe Gohan to be alive, they believed that he was dead. However they still would have revived him regardless.

Another one: why didn't Goku/Kibito Kai teleport to Earth to take all the fighters and bring them to help against Kid Buu, once Earth was restored? You might argue that probably not even Gohan and Gotenks would have done much against Buu but it was worth a try in my opinion. The arc would still probably end with the Genkidama.

Goku not finishin off Fat Buu
1. Goku's no longer a person of Living Realm. Not supposed to do unwanted stuffs. Check
2 He wanted Next Gen fighters to take over savior role considering their immense potential. Check
3. Goku finishing off Fat Buu would only result in ridiculous end. A dead guy with 1 day pass not only helped Djinn's ressurection but freakin wiped off the supposedly final, strongest, boss baddy of the franchise within a day of his ressurection. Woila! Forget Gohan's training in Kaioshin Realm. Forget Fusion. Forget Majin Veggie's epic sacrifice & his ressurection.

Piccolo immediately wrecking his Saibaman and telling Vegeta not to waste time even though the whole reason they're there is to buy time for Goku to arrive.
Re: Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
Gotenks and Gohan would've stomped Boo. In the manga, Kid is vastly inferior to pretty much every version of Super Boo, including absorption. That's the dramatic/writing reason it doesn't happen, in-universe..... Goku's an assho- Oh wait, he suggests it later on instead of the Spirit Bomb..... I guess Vegeta's an asshole then?emperior wrote: Cause Goku never said he wanted to be revived, and would have probably refused their wish again.

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Re: Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
Sorry to break the chain on the game. The first Piccolo hears about the potential of this is from a dying Nail on Namek. Nail tells him that it's unfortunate that Piccolo didn't return as his former self (the son of Katatz) because he would've been able to take on Freeza if he had and Piccolo is surprised at this.precita wrote: Why didn't Piccolo fuse with Kami when the Saiyans were coming to Earth if he knew that would increase his power? In the Cell arc it seems he always knew that, so why not do it before the Saiyans showed up?

Re: Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
Goku just wanted a tournament. There's was no way in hell he could have predicted that such a stipulation like every universe being destroyed for their corresponding team losing would be applied. I chalk that one down as naivety more than stupidity. I mean, Goku was warned about talking to Zeno, but it wasn't in specifically in regards to how he would create the stipulations for the multiverse tournament.successoroffate wrote:If Goku teleported back to Earth, Buu could have teleported as well and destroy it again.emperior wrote:Cause Goku never said he wanted to be revived, and would have probably refused their wish again.floofychan333 wrote:
