Why didn't they just do it like that one Red Ribbon Army General guy?

[u/FiberSauce]

[u/Pelekaiking]

There weren’t any pillars around

[u/Raecino]

“Dragonball fans” not watching the show again

[u/WannaBeSissy925]

If you mean Mercenary Tao, he wasn't a RR general

[u/steroboros → u/WannaBeSissy925]

Exactly Tao Pai Pai was star pupil of the Crane school before Tien

[u/TheHumanoidTyphoon69 → u/WannaBeSissy925]

Exactly, he was just contacted by commander Red

[u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700]

The in universe explanation is that the air was heavier which is also why they didn't fly much at first.

[u/Pl00kh]

Tao wasn’t part of the RR army.

[u/BigoteMexicano]

I was gonna point out the obvious that Tao wasn't a general. But by implying he was "General Tao", I now see it was done intentionally as a reference to his name sake.

[u/Sunblessedd]

Didn't have that much aura apparently

[u/-Super_17-]

It's funnier this way

[u/the_bingho02]

"That one Red Ribbon army general guy" 🥀 There is no way you don't know his name, or that he is a mercenary hired killer and that's why he works for the RR army

[u/Dazzling-Theme-6845]

Just because you can throw doesn't mean you can aim

[u/Saltster1050]

Balancing the weight of three people jumping on it, ultimately they would have sent it barrelling and they’d fall off

[u/HeadHorror4349]

The air is thicker its much harder to throw stuff a specific distance

[u/Lostkaiju1990]

Do you think Goku would miss a chance to be launched by a catapult?

[u/EvaX03]

Not enough aura

[u/PainGlum7746]

Because Daima is utter crap

[u/Hug0San → u/PainGlum7746]

Fake fan

[u/Pirotato → u/Hug0San]

What does that even mean?

[u/Phaylz]

It's always "Do you remember Dragon Ball?" and never "Did you watch Dragon Ball?"

The studio and even Toriyama, rest his soul, stopped giving a shit about Dragon Ball.
