      She took the fall in the World Martial Arts tournament and let him retain the championship, and I think she does this pretty regularly since the other Z fighters outgrew it and don’t participate anymore. That’s why he’s still the Champ - she takes out all the strong competition and then lets him win in the end to retain the title for his brand.

      They’ve got an excellent scam going.

        I thought Mr. Satan was the strongest honest-to-god human outside the Z-fighters. It’s just that literally demons from fucking hell, understandably, make him nervous. Though if you asked me to cite my sources it would be headcanon all the way down.

          He is legitimately strong, but the World Martial Arts tournament draws legitimately strong people out of the woodwork all the time. It was treated as a joke in Z, but in the original Dragon Ball there were serious contenders that would show up for the prize money.

          He just has fixers to make sure he stays on top. He’s not getting any younger after all!

          Also I think Buu does this scam with him too now that I think about it (mostly for fun, it’s not like Buu needs money)
