You're correct in that Creation and Destruction are two sides of the same coin, but I can't really respond to that without spoiling things other than to say that Toriyama mostly improvises as needed the cosmology of the DBZ Universe. You guys will have to wait until Super to get a bit more.

Because destruction and creation are two sides of the same coin. They also seemed pretty chill on their world and not busy creating so probably just a snap of their fingers 🤔 But we appreciate this insight!

2023-11-15 18:03:32 +0000 UTCThey haven't been too explicit as to the roles of the Kais, but I can tell you that the Supreme Kai's job isn't to keep a close watch on every civilization that exists. Unless there is evidence of there being a significant threat to the balance (Creations vs Destruction) of the Universe, their focus is instead on creating, and setting things in motion, but otherwise remaining hands off. I doubt that creation is a simple matter of snapping their fingers for a Supreme Kai. It probably requires a lot of meticulous time consuming work to make sure things don't just break apart at the onset. Even if it's as simple a snapping a finger, they prioritize newborn worlds and lifeforms while leaving the more established worlds to the lower Kais. The lower Kais (North, West, East, South) deal more closely with the mundane of their respective corners of the Universe and even they mostly focus on the bigger picture. This frees up the Supreme Kai to work on creation instead of management and administration. Then you have the Grand Kai that appears to be the overseer of the afterlife. Dragon Ball Z Kai skipped over the Grand Kai stuff because, as I understand it, it wasn't in the Manga. Although it seems that before Majin Buu, all primary Kais were ranked at Supreme Kai. After Buu, lower Kais had to take over a portion of the duties of the now dead Supreme Kais.

2023-11-14 20:46:11 +0000 UTCI feel like vegeta should be equally blamed for not grabbing Gohan, piccolo,goten and trunks because Goku couldn't possibly grab everyone with one hand as he has to use his other hand for instant transmission plus vegeta had one spare hand to carry anything

2023-11-14 20:36:13 +0000 UTCMany villains in the past have threatened to do the deed of destroying Earth, but none have ever actually managed to, until now. So yeah, as they explained Kid Buu is the purest and most evil version of Buu with no moral compass whatsoever, though at least in the anime it's implied he's not as strong as Buutenks or Buuhan. Whatever the case it makes for a great finale and these next few episodes are absolute bangers, especially in Kai.
