why didn't they simply ask for world peace?

Panties
World peace could come in a lot of ways though.
Because then the series would have ended.
Better question is why Goku and Co. only wish back good people with the Dragon Balls only for there to still be evil Earthlings in the next arc anyway.
because peace was never an option.
ok. how about "no more evil" then?
There are other worlds.
The Earth of Dragon Ball is already pretty much in peace, and any time it isn't, Goku deals with it. And by the point where even Goku can't handle it easily, the villains were strong enough that even the Dragon couldn't deal with it.
So how many villains in Z were actually from earth?
In Z? Only the Androids/Cyborgs/Cell
Exactly, so world peace would do fuck-all.
With peace, there'd be noone to fight
Goku wouldn't want that
That would be like asking the Dragon to remove free will.
Monkey's paw. Immediately kills everyone.
that's not how Goku thinks.
Yes, he wants to fight, but he NEVER wants to fight to the death. He just wants a serious fight, which is why he was completely satisfied with any of the tournaments he did when he was younger.
Because there already is world peace. Entire planet is owned by one government that seems more or less benevolent.
Every series that has “wishes” has similar problems to this: it's a stupid mechanic.
He can't fulfill wishes that are beyond the power of the person who created him.
They actually pretty much did at the end of the series though. One of the last wish they make is for only the good people of earth to come back, after the entire planet is destroyed. Or maybe it was all the planets that Kid Buu destroyed.
Anyway, taking only Z into account, the world is at peace for the rest of the series, so it worked as far as we know. Actually, even taking Super into account, none of the threats or bad guys in Super were people that got killed on Earth as far as I know, so the wish's effects are still being felt.
ask for world peace right now and see what happens
>none of the threats or bad guys in Super were people that got killed on Earth as far as I know
what about the robbers who tried to steal Gokus truck in the beginning of Super?
Why don’t they wish to bring back all the Saiyans Frieza killed? Wouldn’t Goku want to meet his parents and the rest of his people?
They just weren't criminals yet when Buu killed them
no? the saiyans are assholes
So is Vegeta yet they resurrected him twice.
Because Goku needs a universe filled with people to fight,
Because world peace doesn't solve the problem of aliens attacking, which is the majority of their problems.
That's going to be one hell of a monkey's paw.
Why didn't they wish for a turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with lettuce and mustard, and no zombie turkeys, it wouldn't to turn them into turkeys, and no other weird surprises.
why didn't they wish to nuke Zig Forums and this shit board?
The dragon can't revive the unwilling.
Why would peace be any different?
I'd just wish for all humans to have the ability to get Zenkai boosts.
just think. Everytime they wish back a planet there are hundreds if not thousands that were happier dead.
I guess a world peace wish would work against every villain who has a powerlevel below 9000 (or other arbitrary number) but stronger villains would be unaffected.
If they just wished for Earth to be invisible they could have saved so much time.
Based Doggo who wished to be king.
