There's Goku turning into a giant monster and attacking the audience, Tien literally turning the arena into a crater, and worst of all the return of King fucking Piccolo, who the martial artists should rightly be terrified of because of his genocide of them, along with his subsequent destruction of the entire island. My personal headcanon is that truly skilled fighters stopped entering the Tenkaichi Budokai because absolutely terrifying things kept happening for three tournaments straight. So he and most probably other fighters have to know about Satan being a fraud, the question is how viewers forgot it and how the Budokai became so popular suddenly, even with the level drop. Seing Satan feats pre-Cell would make no impact.Īlso we have to take into account that Announcer remembers Goku and co., and he talks about tournaments being boring and that he knew it was Goku team who defeated Cell. I don't think Satan being SO strong would belieable to fighters, they came from tournament when people jumped hundreds of meters high and literally vanished from human eye. And they not only forget all of this, but somehow Budokai becomes more popular to the point we see in Buu saga. And this happening in the period of one year (i think?) when Satan began to be the champion. It needs to be a reason for human being weaker, previous fighters dissapearing, and people forgetting all of pre-Goku and Goku era tournaments. I don't think it can be a reason inside story. ![]() I know the real answer is "Writer doesn't think of such things." I like to speculate though. Still doesn't explain it, but it could be one factor. They're still out there fighting dinosaurs and throwing bad guys cars across town, but they may not be interested in tournaments anymore under the false belief they have no chance. So perhaps it's just that the memories of old tournaments with giant apes and shit, and the legacy Hercule built up to an absurd point now, nobody worth while bothers to show up just to get humiliated in their mind. If it all looks as silly as when 18 let him win, he appears to have really strange powers and keeps up the look of being a goofy guy to lure you in. Then any time someone actually strong seems to fight him (18 for example) he could just pay them to throw it. They literally don't believe they have a chance. That would actually explain why nobody mildly superhuman comes out to fight Hercule and make a name for themselves. It took the might of Hercule to defeat him, apparently, when he seemed unbeatable. He seemed even more insane scary than the last threat. How many showed up to the Cell Games even? Not many. Then the "Cell Games", Cell was terrorizing the earth in preparation for that, clearly way beyond any super human fighter even. ![]() The Tournaments kind of stopped around then I think. You might be able to say that since the last tournament when Goku was a kid who turned into a huge ape, and fought basically an eldritch demon and destroyed the place, the really competent fighters realized they were already outclassed and would get obliterated. I can't see why nobody would want to knock Hercule down a peg though, or why the last tournament we saw were all weak compared to years before. Perhaps it's not that the peak humans are weaker now, but they just don't make a show of it anymore. I can't even wildly speculate, I don't know. I've been thinking for like 5 minutes here about any possible correlation, or indicator something had changed in DB universe culture to weaken the rest of the humans.
