Goku: luckier than he deserved at the 21st Budokai?

In all three of his fights, it seems like the rules bend a bit.

Against Giran, he's allowed the onetime use of Kin'toun when he uses it to stop himself from landing out of bounds.

Against Namu, after he gets hit by the Diving X/Holy Cross, Namu has to remind the Budokai Announcer (who I'm assuming is new to the job) to begin counting; Goku recovers just after nine. If the Announcer had started on time, I assume Goku would have lost.

The same thing happens against "Jackie Chun." He gets put to sleep by the lullaby attack and Kamesen'nin has to remind the Announcer start counting. Bulma wakes up Goku with "Dinner Time!" again just after nine. Again, presumably, he would have lost had the Budokai Announcer had the professionalism he demonstrated through the rest of the series.

...Or is it just me?

Yeah, the announcer did forget to count from time to time, but I think that's because he was to focused on the fight himself, like the audience was. Or something.

Anyhow, the Kinto Un wasn't allowed but Goku argued that Giran used bubble gum. So, that's why they allowed it for one time, but if he used it the second time Goku would've been disqualified.

So, I guess you could say that Goku is more the "lucky" type.

Professionalism? He also did nothing when Goku stole Roshi's glasses to protect his eyes from the Tayoken during a battle. That's even worse than using the Kintoun.

Oh, yeah! That would also be against the rules, wouldn't it? o.o I didn't even think of that.

Well, the Announcer didn't rule against it, nor did any of the monks at the temple...a bit odd, but...

I think Goku is just abit of a show off and waited till 9 came up on purpose sometimes

o.o;; Wherever does it say in the rules that you can't use sunglasses? The Great Saiyaman sure was allowed to use them. No weapons and armour, sure. But sunglasses surely aren't either of those.

Unless its used to neglet someones attack! Dun Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun....Sorry, couldn't resist.

Well, I think there's a difference between bringing sunglasses with you and snatching them off a spectator...

I'm not quite sure anyone who would argue against Goku's use of sunglasses knew where exactly he got them from. At least that's the impression I got watching the anime version of the fight.
