You'll need to test that one.
Being designed for Saiyans, those training programs presumably rely heavily on the Zenkai, which as far as I understand it is a Saiyan-only thing?
This assumes Bassoon or his ship has the capability to process comets.
I mean, this feels like an assumption?
I mean, Bassoon is described by Polaris as an 'adventurer' (also by Poptart's OOC intro to him), and in context from the exposition he is clearly one of the travelling warriors from Namek, as part of the status quo of 'everything is a dumpster fire, Namek is officially uninvolved but a number of namekian warriors make trouble against the Imperial'. Plus, he has been shown to be a decent combat mage, but not the sort of super dedicated master you would expect to not have trained a lot.
There must be some insights, but not necessarily insights that Kakara herself knows (being taught being a very different experience from doing teaching), that are also sufficient to raise Bassoon's power level by one-quarter its current max (or provide fighting expertise sufficient to close a 25% power differential), in a very short period of time, that can be done by one person without expert teachers or specialised training equipment and whose only sparring partner lives inside their head.
Bassoon does note that his ship can process a fresh-water ocean here:
so presumably it has some level of filtration capacity. Maybe it just doesn't have good enough filters to clean up comet water? Wikipedia seems to indicate that comet ice is generally contaminated with all sorts of organic compounds, and particularly calls out carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and ammonia (which isn't technically an organic compound, but whatever). Ammonia in particular is not super great to drink and mildly awkward to filter out of water, and is not something I'd expect to find a lot of in a freshwater ocean.
I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I thought that anyone on Garenhuld on our side of the fight outside of Senzu hall is capable of meaningful independent action, but assuming that we were largely successful in getting people to the hall, I would assume that some of the people we contacted would be the ones we shared the research on the spirit bomb with.
I wouldn't be surprised if she had some counter, but I would be very surprised if this was it, since it would allow us to trivially bypass it by, say, charging and absorbing the bomb off planet / withing sensu hall, then ITing in as a spirit saiyan. Personally, I'm basically certain that her primary method will be to stop the people she has under control from lending their energy, but beyond that I have no idea what the easiest way for her magic to interfere with us if we already have it charged would be. I honestly suspect it might be an unsolvable problem for her, given the sheer power gap involved and that Ki beats magic handily; I'm simply not willing to count on that when we could instead prepare solutions.
Bear in mind that we don't have an objective measure of "how much" ki is being thrown against "how much" magic.
Bah, humbug. We'll have to channel that into more productive things - like knocking her out, securing victory, and then playing with our food.

Isn't that how we got here in the first place?
That's nothing new. We would have won if she had just used Dandeer to block Yammar's attacks like we told her to.
