I guess they were used to people throwing a log with sufficient accuracy to where they wanted to go, then jump fast enough to catch up and mount onto that log after the aforementioned throw.
For starters, the older Budoukai competitions were not the major spectacles they were during the Buu arc (it was actually Mr. Satan that helped to popularize them and make them the big spectator events they are). Beforehand, they were standing audience only and they weren’t even televised, so outside of word of mouth, there really wasn’t all that much publicity to them.
Likewise, Mr. Satan readily attempted to slander the older Budoukai combatants by calling them tricksters and frauds; that they used parlor tricks and such rather than true martial arts. And with the clout he had as the winner of the 24th Budoukai (and then later with the claim of winning the Cell Games), he managed to convince most of the world that they were indeed charlatans.
No they werent. Less than a handful of people were able to fly at the last tournament in Dragon Ball. Also the old ones (before Mr Satans win) werent televised. it was super niche and almost no one knew anything about it.
Yeah… 5 martial artists could fly
Well to be fair this announcer looks different from the blond guy who was always the announcer. I can see why he’s surprised if it’s his first time seeing all of this.
hercule is more like a pro wrestler
I don’t know, I can’t stop laughing at Jimmy Firecracker’s neck 😛
It’s typical champion bravado, they’re doing something the World Champ can’t therefore it must be a trick.
did you even watch DB?
the list of people who ever flew at a tournament is a literal handful. Chaiotzu/Tien/Krillin/Piccolo/Goku.
I think only 4 people were able to fly when OG ended: Piccolo, Goku, Tenshinhan and Chiazu. Correct me if I’m wrong.
NPC’s don’t have any memory till they become relevant.
I think the martial artists just never showed the public?
They weren’t there to see it now were there
Because…….uh…..he’s the champ?
The old tournaments weren’t televised, so other than the people who were there to see it, no one knew people could actually fly
A gag that Tori thought would be funny.
I wouldn’t mind some filler episodes in super or something where gohan and videl teach hercule how to use chi so he could fly and do a basic energy ball
Piccolo killed all of the strong fighters during DB. The only ones left are the Z fighters which is why it is so remarkable for Videl to learn to fly in the Buu saga.
Who cares its hilarious.
Yup, and this is why Hercule is my least favourite character.
Toriyama probably forgot.
Hercule didn’t come around till the cell saga.
I wonder if he meant “parlor trick” instead of “popular trick” lol
They forgor ????
Iirc the tournaments were pretty niche until Mr. Satan got famous
It hasn’t been used in a while in public. Plus most of it was just using something to push themselves up but just flying like that out of nowhere is probably jarring
they forgor ????
