DBZ is so inconsistent

For some reason, this never bothered me.. But now that it's brought up, I agree after the Frieza saga maybe battles should have been taken elsewhere.

It still doesn't bother me all that much, though.

There are two limiting factors for our heroes that keep them from just going "Screw it, IMA FIRIN MAH LAZAAAA"

1.) The Earth needing to be protected holds them back immensely, they fire off a blast directly down or don't condense energy then BOOM everything they're fighting to protect is no longer there.

2.) They can't breath or survive in the vacuum of space, blow up the planet and still there? Slowly suffocate and have their organs escape out of their mouth or other holes in their body...

If they didn't have to worry about those two factors then I'm positive they would (Maybe not Goku, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks) not condense their blasts and let loose with Solar System rendering blasts. But of course Goku does show remorse about killing innocents so I'm not even sure if then he'd let loose. Statements should be taken as fact until either a contradicting feat occurs or a contradicting statement is made.

Cell's claim does not have to be backed up by a feat. Toriyama is consistent with having a characters claims be true. Cell should be no different.

That makes no sense. If Buu can't do the same who is stronger than Cell then how does that work?

The contradicting feat was Buu blowing up the earth. Goku and Vegeta could of deflected Buu's attack right if it's only planet busting. But they couldn't they had to leave to the Kai planet.

Boo wasn't exactly trying his hardest in his little blast, not to mention only the SSJ2 tier characters are Solar System Busters via statements. Correct me if I'm wrong but Goku and Vegeta were in Base weren't they? Or only SSJ. Not like Kid Boo hasn't shown he toys around. He is a very sadistic being.

Chapter: 508 (DBZ 314), P7.3
Context: Boo fires a ki blast at the Earth, but Vegeta repels it
Goku: "Th-that was close...! Th-that bastard, he tried to blow away the Earth right off the bat...Thank you, Vegeta..."

Chapter: 508 (DBZ 314), P8.7
Context: Boo forms a big ki blast
Goku: "It-it’s huge...! You've got to be kidding...! Do-does he intend to unleash that...!? ...We can't knock back something like that...!"

Vegeta knocks away a planet rendering blast at first from Kid Boo and Goku thanks him for it, later (like a few moments after) Kid Boo makes a ki blast that Goku and Vegeta admit that they CANNOT do anything about. This just shows that they have the amount of ki needed to blow away a solar system, they just can't put it into a radius large enough to accomplish it. Otherwise if everyone were just plain planet busters Vegeta or Goku could've just swatted away the other blast Boo made.

That makes no sense if Buu used the blast and it only blew up a planet then how can it blow a solar system? Buu just used a planet busting shot then he uses a more powerfuler planet busting shot that blow up the planet.

How do you know that? They're just planet busters aren't they? It should be the same right? Surely there's no scaling of any sort going on and Saiyan Arc Vegeta is just as dangerous as Boo because he too can bust a planet right? But wait he doesn't have a feat now does he? Do we disregard that? Do we disregard First Form Freeza busting Planet Vegeta because his Final Form couldn't bust Planet Namek in one shot? Do people only become planet one shotters until Kid Boo rolls around? Cell's statement is uncontradicted seeing as how Goku is always shown to condense his energy, it's why a simple ki blast of his doesn't blow up a planet...the same with Kid Boo. Condensing is key in DBZ and you seem to look at it like they have no control of it whatsoever.

Buu can though, he just never did because he never really had a chance to.

Agreed. The main problem I see is the fact that he wanted the fights to take place on Earth. He countered the planet being destroyed by 100% of stated planet/moon buster to be used in out of battle scenarios:

Roshi blasting a stationary moon
Piccolo destroyed stationary moon
Goku you better stay in one place or else the Earth will be destroyed
@Cell if you're so confident don't dodge this
Goku using a trick scenario with IT

Among every other planet buster which was similar. The issue this causes is power scaling since you'd just assume that starting from EoDB fighters should be able to casually do what Roshi did earlier (especially when Boo's charged Kamehameha destroyed only fraction of a town). I'm not sure how to reconcile the issue other than just accepting plot hole (which does make sense as Toriyama isn't perfect).

Sorry fella's haven't posted or replied to any of your comments been feeling kinda sick lately. Still it sucks but the best time to show that feat was with Buu blowing a solar system rather than just the earth it just makes it look inconsistent.
And to the poster who said Vegeta was going to blow up the earth I don't know he might of killed himself too if he did.
