It's a real sticky situation to find ourselves in
I like how Vegeta’s god-level power up is a means of weaponizing his jobbing.
Also he immediately loses after obtaining it. Only way it could be any more classic vegeta is if he pointed to himself.

Let me scream for three episodes while we decide.
Don't forget the internal momolog about how to stop it from happening!
Pretty much, an hour is really a couple of hours, but if they went by the actual time, then the Tourament of Power in DBS wouldn't of been so one sided to one Universe knocking everyone out
I think half of the issue with DBZ time is multiple perspectives... like in just a basic fight, you get 2 perspectives you have to show, plus inner monologs, then stock animation, then sometimes narrator, and 3rd party perspective... so like it's the same 5min fight, but it takes like 3 episodes worth of run time. I'm sure most people are aware of this, but meme is meme... sometimes I just like to state the obvious on the off chance you've encountered a special beam cannon litteralist who thinks piccolo sings the entire menomina song from the Muppets before killing radits and goku.
Most of those fights could probably be edited down to five minutes if you truly remove all padding. And I mean actual padding, not "It's not in the manga!" padding.
I'd be curious to watch an edit like that.

If you seriously encounter someone who thinks a dumb joke from DBZ Abridged is canon, slap them. Even Team Four Star hates that.
(It actually is canon that the Makankosappo is more powerful the longer it's charged, AND that Piccolo only having one arm at the time made it take longer (even though he only ever fires it from one hand anyway), but still.)
i can buy having a gaping wound making it hardto focus
No excuses. Your enemy isn't going to just roll over and take it just because you have a gaping wound. On your feet, soldier!
I mean, he can also regrow his arm just by focusing for a second and yelling at it. I guess he just didn't feel like it until after Radditz was dead. Or he just wanted an excuse to shoot Goku in the chest, which, fair enough.
IiRC regenerating expends Piccolo’s ki. He also seems pretty worn out and breathing heavily each time he regrows his arm. Guess he thought he needed a stronger beam and stamina more than two arms.
