Wait, I thought Buu was stronger than Beerus around the time he ate all the Kaioshins?

Nope. Buu has never been stronger then Beerus unless Vegito was laughably more powerful than him from the jump.

Beerus was just asleep when Buu was on his rampages earlier, or allowed Buu to do what he wanted since he was doing his job for him.

Considering how close he came to killing off the Kaioshins and then thus Beerus himself you would think he would be a bit more interested.

Say what you will about how effective it was, but at least in Lost the inability to find easy answers to questions was kind of the point until it got weird about it and said trying to find difficult answers was bad too.

I feel like once U7 manages to survive this arc, Gohan will figure out the criteria that Zen uses to judge universes, and spend his time going around improving U7, so they don't have to deal with that any more.

Sounds like a massive waste of time since Goku will have punched both Zenos to death by then.

Be like if the Frieza saga ended with everyone joining his army in return for keeping Earth intact.

Not Zeno's fault our universes are full of assholes. Maybe the Kais fro. 2-4 , 6&7, and 9-11 should do their jobs.

And if we're commiting deicide, GoDs need go as well because Beerus is an irresponsible piece of poo poo.

Why do people think the level is not fight power related

when they are holding a tournament of fights to see who gets to stick around, and the universes with the biggest levels don't have to fight

It's a prize for the tournament Goku insisted they have.

If everything were fight-power related the idea of a tournament might have come up before (and not been quickly forgotten).

Because "Quality" is a rather bizarre word to use when describing power level, don't you think? The only reason they're even having a tournament is because Zeno was going to just destroy the eight shittiest universes until Goku brought up a multiverse tournament. Now one gaggle of assholes has a chance to save themselves.

Why would Zeno be impressed by the fighting abilities of low level mortals, if "mortal level" has nothing to do with fighting power?

YOU SAY MY POSTS ARE THE RAVINGS OF THE DUMBEST PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH BUT YOU YOURSELF ARE READING THEM. CURIOUS!
Because DBZ fans are in deep denial that power levels are a thing. In fact the most important thing.

Also lol that Zeno, an imbecile child who can barely string a sentence of more than four words together, has sat down and worked out a mathematical formula to compare the relative merits of the populations of each universe. I'm gonna be really surprised if the High Priest isn't pulling the strings and manipulating the Zenos to pursue his own agenda.

Would you expect, say, some redneck rear end in a top hat from bum gently caress nowhere to be able to fight as impressively as a professionally trained pugilist from a wealthy country?

And if they did, would you not be surprised?

Not saying strength plays zero part in the equation, but a universe's mortal ranking isn't solely, or even primarily, about power levels.

Also, if it were about Power Levels, Beerus and Shin's argument makes no sense.

I get the feeling this either ends in "You will be destroyed... In X amount of years unless you've got your poo poo together by then."

Or

"Your universes have been destroyed. The people are still around, we've just isolated all of you assholes in a single universe."

I don't think a show like Dragonball would make a ranking like this and then base it off something other than power. It doesn't really matter anyway since they're talking about an average, and Goku literally rivals gods at this point.

I really don't think so. He, like all the other angels, does not give an iota of a gently caress about the universes or anything that goes on within them. I feel like Zeno has the mentality of a kid, but is fully aware of the position he (they're?) in, and is fully capable of doing that sort of thing.
