To be fair I don’t think that’s an idea Toryiama ever wants to go through with.

Since the manga and anime ends the same way the Zeno idea was most likely his

It's weird that the only guy to seriously point out how hosed up living under a god like that was from the Heroes anime, and also a bad guy. Frieza brought it up during the ToP but nothing came out of it.

Final Saga of the last Dragonball season before it's over, essentially the Super-era Buu Saga. Having bided his time very thoroughly and smartly after a bunch of preceding Sagas of escalating insanity, Freiza strikes with the Super Dragon Balls and wishes himself God Emperor of All Universes. Goku has to kill God, proving he is 'stronger' than Zeno, especially if Freiza in a final desperation uses the erasure and Goku shrugs it off (or gets wished back).

Zen-chans wishes back, The End.

Goku will get distracted by a shiny object and look away right as Aizen unseals his sword, thereby dodging the hypnosis

Exploration is ill-advised.
People forget since it's mostly from Dragon Ball days, but Goku's quite used to dealing with foes who have weird tricks up their sleeves and can be very cunning when he needs to be. Kind of the whole deal with Hit is that he's incredibly strong on top of having an extremely powerful and versatile superpower that he's very competent with and actively improves on when he's under pressure, and it takes Goku equal amounts of skill and improv to figure out how to counter it. (and even then, we haven't had a decisive battle between them, especially since Hit did successfully kill Goku when not fighting under a nonlethal ruleset, even if Goku is well aware how easy it is to cheat death.

Ironically the only indirect way of killing Goku that has worked is the heart virus, which I forget if it was even engineered or just bad luck. (and given Pan is apparently difficult for Earth doctors to treat due to her partly non-human physiology, I wonder if there's a trend of Saiyan biology having a potential weakness to disease, though I imagine their immune systems are crazy)

The climax of the Goku/Hit rematch is Hit making a dimension cage out of stored time or something and then Goku's solution is to power up so hard he can punch Hit through dimensions anyway

Yeah, and that isn't even the first time that happened to Hit specifically. When Goku went Kaioken SSB for the first time it made him so strong he could just completely ignore Hit's time skipping.

Hell, during the ToP, Jiren pulled the same trick and just put out so much power that he completely broke out of Hit's time prison thing.

I think the kaioken thing was specifically increasing his reaction time. I make that distinction because from memory, the manga handles Hit's powers differently and makes it so he literally can't use them on people stronger than him and there's no real back and forth, which was super lame.

Jiren negating the time cage is still the peak of boringness to me - like, they couldn't even have him do something cool, he literally just walks it off and the talking heads say "I guess he's stronger than time" and that's that. So much of that tournament was him just glaring at people or not emoting and it's a wonder they managed to somehow come up with a satisfying conclusion. Turns out it's fun to root for Frieza and watch 17 do anything, who knew.

17 is great because his snark is as unlimited as his energy and the series knows very well how to take full advantage of it, while at the same time being a genuinely great person and one of the extremely few moral members of Team Universe 7.

Also the idea of wasting a wish without any limits for a boat will never not be hilarious.

IIRC the Jaco manga revealed that the Galatic Patrolmen carry around extinction bombs that contain a virus that when released kills everything on a planet (Jaco once used one on accident and wiped out a species he was supposed to protect), in an interview Toriyama said that the bombs don't work on Saiyans which is why the Galactic Patrol only tries to fight Saiyan children. So Saiyans probably have a pretty hefty immune system.

Whoops, just re-read it and I was slighty mistaken, the extinction bomb only wipes out "humans" (which is also used to refer to almost any non-Namekian alien throughout DB) while leaving animals and plants alone. But yeah, Jaco did accidentally commit genocide once.

Also the extinction bomb not working on Saiyans is actually included in chapter 11 of Jaco (which for some reason isn't on Viz's Shonen Jump site):

Nope it has referred to them as well. Ningen while human is a translation, a just as valid translation is people, or person.
