I understand the point you made. But I never played a game like that.

That's pretty much what Kaioshin had to deal with.
. PM a game similar to what you gave me

Personally, I think Kaioshin realizes far far too late that he was out of his league.Kamiccolo9 wrote:East Kaioshin was the youngest, weakest, and least experienced of all the Kaioshin. He lived in a time of peace, when suddenly, a monster appeared out of nowhere, and killed all of his peers. He got lucky, and managed to ensure that the monster got sealed, but lacked the power to destroy it. So he hides it on Earth.
Kaioshin spends the next several thousand years doing the job of four Kaioshin's; something he obviously was not prepared for. For all of these years, the images of his dead friends (family?) are seared into his brain. He knows that, at any time, there is a chance that the monster can be awakened.
Thousands of years later, he finds out that the wizard who created the monster had a son, who is also a powerful magician. He knows that the son's goal is to free his father's creation. So, he sets out to find Babidi, while neglecting his observation of the universe. As a consequence, he is unaware of the growing power of the Saiyans on Earth.
He arrives on Earth, and, while outwardly appearing confident and mysterious, on the inside he is torn. He chooses to take a gamble, allowing a powerful fighter to fall in order to follow Babidi's minions back to his ship. Along the way, he gains powerful allies in the Saiyans, but due to his focusing on finding Babidi, he is unaware of their true strength.
They arrive at the ship, and Kaioshin sees the ruler of the Demon Realm, enslaved by Babidi. He notices that Babidi's henchmen all have the same "M" symbol that the monster did. Kaioshin, overwhelmed by his memories of the past, starts behaving irrationally, doubting the powers of his comrades, and overestimating his enemies, due to their association with the monster. He is further shaken when his allies, who are mere mortals, prove to be even stronger than he himself, the god of gods, is. In only a few hours on Earth, his entire perception of his place in the universe has been shaken, and he is clearly out of his depth.
So, in conclusion, Kaioshin has a massive case of PTSD, and it's amplified by seeing foes who have some relation to Majin Buu.

Surely he noted the power of Gohan from the tournament. But by the time he would have had the chance to gauge that power against the power of Babidi's minions at the ship, he would have succumbed to the irrationality of PTSD, as detailed in the post above.DBZAOTA482 wrote:For example, there was nothing inherently wrong with his plan to have Spopovich and Yamu steal Gohan's energy but the problem is that he still chose to carry it out when he saw Gohan become SSJ (and SSJ2). With that kind of power, he should have realized the Saiyans are far and away more powerful than any of Babidi's minions but he didn't for some reason (plot, most likey).

They could have but Kaioshin kept getting in the way of that. For example, Piccolo suggested that they swoop down and beat up Babidi's minions before they gave Babidi the energy but he had them hide behind the rocks instead.Saiga wrote:He knew they had the power but the problem was that they weren't using it.
I hardly call standing around and doing nothing or pissing your pants in fear while using sissy attacks "manning up".Nazi Cola wrote:Very nice.
I think the "scared of anything with an 'M' on it" is a floppy excuse to make sense of the goings-on inside Babidi's ship. I don't abide by the idea myself, but I've seen it used fervently by a few others. Kaioshin can man up when he really needs to, as seen when he's just fine with taking on Babidi and Dabura with Gohan's help, or when he's alone against Majin Boo. Not to mention when he fuses with Kibito, he immediately wants to take on Gotenks-Boo. Come on now.
