well then he discovers even more quickly that they all have been murdered and there is more time for him to fly around in rage looking for the culprits
instead of, you know, sitting around hoping Goku fixes it
even Tenshinhan, who didn't even have hope of damaging Buu showed up, and he had no dead family to avenge. why would 17 not show up somehow?
So to everything you said, those were arguments I made regarding the pre genocide part, where his family isn't dead. They are safely located in their isolated house.
We're talking about fat Buu since you felt it was smart to bring in Babidi and Buu blowing up cities. I told you why he didn't act upon that.
I later talked about the genocide attack part.
even if he could not feel ki, it'd be easy to blow up a few mountains and have the problems go to him instead
it's not semantics: "hey if we win this tournament we don't get erased, you are p strong you should help" is extremely straightforward
Do I copy paste my last response here ? Because my points are the exact same, "I don't want to participate, I don't care if we get erased or not, if we do get erased, that means it's our destiny", destiny already takes into consideration his actions, to participate, or not.
Nobody said you had to agree with his view, but that's how he sees it and I explained the reasoning behind it.
because his family got killed by Buu?
Not before the genocide.
do you think that 17 would stay at home, chillin' until 18 comes to him with the dragon balls?
The hell are you talking about, I was referring to Buu blowing up cities, saying 17 wouldn't care since he saw Goku intervening and knew about Dragon Balls. (so it didn't matter how many cities Buu blew up since he knew they'd all be revived and a stronger hero than Goku would show up, on top of that, his family was not in reach)
he would try _something_ and flying around the world looking for the destruction path is reasonable; if you have a map, and know that such and such city go destroyed, you can fly there in literally minutes
Hardly see how that would help since they didn't fight near those cities. Stop acting like there was some sort of constant destruction.
I already explained why he wouldn't give a fuck about the destroyed cities before the genocide, and Buu didn't destroy any after it.
just because you have no imagination and cannot think of how to solve such a problem doesn't mean android 17 would not think of a solution either, and just flying around looking for the destruction is only one of the possible solutions he could go to a destroyed city and re-destroy the place; Buu surely would notice something is going on. surely there are other options
dunno, there are tons of ways for a superpowered guy to find Buu _if_ he really wanted. if he didn't it's cause either he was dead, he just felt "it was fate" and stayed put or...he is not very smart
Well considering he would have never looked for him before the genocide, and that Buu was literally not on earth after said genocide, visited the HTC then fought Gotenks shortly in the manga and Buu went in hiding when Gohan showed up.
Buutenks also lasted very shortly because of the SSJ3 fusion running fast, then Goku teleported far away to Vegeta, fused, they fought in the sky (once again briefly in the manga, as they go super saiyan right away), then got absorbed, and Buu stood somewhere immobile. Then BOOM.
I mean... Mr Satan finds Buu and he cannot sense Ki, or fly, or destroy cities
1) He was briefed by the armies
2) Before genocide
well you are the one saying that 17 would stay put waiting for people to be revived. I bolded the part where you said that he would do nothing and just wait for the problem to solve itself....then get blown up with the earth like a chump
dunno how long it went since the genocide to the destruction of earth. at least a couple of hours? more than enough time imho.
I said he wouldn't do anything about fat Buu.
As for super Buu, enough time for what? If you count the time where Buu could actually be found, then no, that was clearly not enough time. It's not like Buu stayed in one place, destroying one city over and over for the whole time.
He wasn't even on earth for a long time then literally went in hiding. Tien made it right before Vegeto and he knew where they all were. Speed is nothing if you don't know where to go, you need luck. Guess he wasn't lucky.
Also, if it keeps you up at night, there's the alternative theory that Babidi's waves are like Wifi, and they didn't reach 17's park properly. Maybe 17 was in a cave at the time.
He wouldn't say that if he had seen Babidi's transmission !
And then we can go back to the theory where 17 was on a "mission" alone again. Surrounded by animals. And then he literally didn't know about Buu until the earth exploded.
Then you might go with your superman ability given to Buu again, but that would just be an oddity for 17, to see some lame beam reach down to him (that Chaotzu dodged), so he wouldn't be alarmed by it.
Then earth exploded, game over.
Can we move on now ?
also we don't know if he doesn't even know of the lookout. Even if his relationship with 18 seems distant, I _ASSUME_ at some point he asked how come he got revived if his last memory was getting absorbed by Cell...maybe he even saw everything from inside Cell? he must have heard of how the dragonballs removed the bomb in him
Yes of course. She doesn't even fucking know where he lives but I'm sure they took the time to chit chat about
that.
