I am pretty sure Kakara is as pure of heart as, for example, Gohan- and a Spirit Bomb bounced right off him. For most definitions of 'pure' I see no reason to assume Kakara is less pure than Goku, either.
I suspect that under any normal conditions it would be. The point is that this is the "Go to Hell" plan- in the absolute worst-case scenario, going to such ludicrous power levels for a few minutes is better than allowing the continued presence on Garenhuld of an entity that is at such power levels all the time, or that can choose to go to such power levels at any time they wish.
The royals' most basic role is to enforce a monopoly on power levels in excess of, oh, 30-75 million, and to be as restrained as possible in exercising that monopoly, so as to use it only when absolutely necessary.
@PoptartProdigy :
Okay, I'm going to be blunt.
Next time you offer a vote that says "drop actions on an emergency basis in order to allow room in your schedule to do something else..." Maybe you should clearly delineate in advance what constitutes "something else."
We were told "drop actions to train." The available vote choices strongly suggested that the actions being dropped were mainly long-term and non-combat priorities, in favor of short term combat training (i.e. style, specific ki attacks, that sort of thing). We were NOT told that one of the options would be "crash-research a special technique like Spirit Bomb or Perfect Multiform, with a plausible chance of completing it this year."
If we had been told that was going to be one of our options, and that dropping our normal Perfect Multiform research would make doing this with Perfect Multiform impossible, quite a few people who voted to drop Perfect Multiform might have decided not to do so. This is not simply a case of the player-base ignoring an obvious possibility, either. Because you had already told us Perfect Multiform would take years to bear fruition, and had given us no reason to think you were suspending the usual "diminishing returns" effect of multiple actions committed to the same goal. LIstening to you, to the cumulative meaning of your words up to that point, led to a simple, single conclusion: namely, that there would be no way for us to crash-train Perfect Multiform this year.
Had people known in advance how you were going to play this, I guarantee you someone would have proposed "Plan A More Perfect Multiform" involving, say, dropping five or six action points worth of other stuff so we could get a laserlike focus on Perfect Multiform right the hell now.
This isn't your playerbase being indecisive; this is our QM not telling us the rules in advance, then calling us indecisive when we change our minds based on new information about the rules.
