I’m not sure if anybody’s seriously writing this up, but I’m bored so I may as well make some points just in case.
1- Going by the manga, Krillin’s Destructo Disk move (presumably made based on first use when training for the Saiyans post-Raditz) can literally cut thing through anything. Going by the anime, Cell blocked one but he’s several sagas after the start.
2- There is an ACTUAL AFTERLIFE in the DBZ-world (and they know it- Krillin died and was brought back, for one thing). For an ordinary person this might not mean much, but a rationalist acting under the assumption is going to seem insane.
3- Ironically, there is one point where being rational MIGHT work to a character’s disadvantage. After Goku idiotically believes Raditz’s claims to have reformed (his tail has been grabbed making him vulrnable), Raditz knocks out Goku making the situation appear hopeless. This is solved by arguable deux ex machina (I can’t quite remember if it was foreshadowed)- Gohan gets angry, and manifests enough power to seriously wound Raditz and give the good guys a fighting chance. Gohan’s just a kid, so if he were rational he’d probably stay out of it since he doesn’t know about his hidden power.
4- The saiyan Royal family has an Artificial Full Moon technique, which factoring for power loss to make it multiplies their power level by 10 (in terms of actual effectiveness going by the series it rises considerably but not that much). There are pros and cons to sharing it of maintaing power v.s effectiveness of the Saiyan race.
