Videl Quotes

Videl explains that she withheld help because she suspected Gohan was the Great Saiyaman. Seeing him take a punch then persuades her that she was wrong. Gohan privately welcomes the result, while the attacker also complains that punching his face felt like striking steel. The visible failure has supplied concealment rather than a reliable measure of weakness. Videl's inference is understandable: someone who appears unable to handle a criminal does not look like the hero she is seeking. Her mistake is treating what the encounter looks like as a complete account of what the participant can endure. Her warning is kindly meant, but it gives Gohan the protective misclassification he wants. The scene makes observation insufficient without making the observer stupid. Evidence can be real and still support the wrong conclusion when an unusual person benefits from having an ordinary-looking explanation applied to him.
