I entirely agree with you Kuro, it would've most likely created flame wars sadly, nothing to do about that. It doesn't negate the fact however, that it appeared rather forced to me. I would've liked to see a crossover that would be depicted accurately to the source material. That's exactly the reason why I had a hard time with this episode. I have problems accepting things that defy all logic as you may already know if you read some of my blogs and comments. Chances aren't in my favor I believe though.

On a side note, Mr. Satan is also known as "Hercule" not "Hercules", two entirely different things. Now that I think about it though, was that the source of his name?

Another note - Goku wouldn't have destroyed the planet in any circumstances anyway, even though he clearly can. I guess that was an intended exaggerated example though, so I get the point.

Lastly, to clear any misunderstandings, Hercule is believed by the majority to be the strongest human being on earth, but in reality is very weak compared to all of the super human characters, hence the reference.
