I wonder if this offended Akira Toriyama?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

I don't think so, but usually the pole just stops abruptly when it gets to its destination. With the Lookout it slowed down gradually as if it were at its limit.
That's a big assumption to make. I mean, you can't just say, "This part of Dragon Ball doesn't make sense, so let's just ignore it." Either the rabbit exists, went to the moon and got nuked by a kamehameha, or he never existed to begin with. Either way Mr Toriyama either forgot about him or just didn't care about him by the time of the tournament.
It's not an assumption, it's a fact it doesn't make sense. Toninjinka and his henchmen would have burned up from leaving the earth's atmosphere and died being exposed to space. And I'm not ignoring it I'm talking about it.

The assumption I was pointing out was that the nyoi'bo must have a limited length.

Also things burn up when entering the atmosphere because of the friction at free fall speeds. Leaving the atmosphere doesn't normally have that problem since you're not usually attaining those speeds.

But yeah, taking them to the moon made very little sense. And Toriyama obviously forgot about them being there.
