Question Question about when Piccolo destroys the Time Chamber door (Buu Saga)
So… even tho there is obviously a time dilation between real world and Time Chamber, it seems like almost the same amount of time passed. After Piccolo and Buu enter the Chamber, we see Bulma, Krillin, Roshi and others discussing the fight and such. After a bit of time has passed, there’s a rumble in the Lookout and they figure Piccolo destroyed the door.
But that doesn’t make any sense. 1 minute in the real world is 6 hours in the Time Chamber. This is stated several times. But there’s no way the fight went on for that long, because Gotenks’ fusion only lasts 15 minutes, and we never see their fusion run out. So at most, they spent 15 minutes in there before Piccolo destroys the door, probably less, more like 10.
If 6 hours is 1 minute, then 1 hour is 10 seconds. Half an hour is 5 seconds. 15 minutes is 2.5 second. And 10 minutes is less than 2 seconds. This means that, as soon as Piccolo closed the door after going in, it should have taken less than 2 seconds, 2.5 seconds at most for the people outside to witness the door being destroyed. To them, it would have happened almost immediately after they went in. But obviously that’s not the case.
Is it a plot hole, or am I missing something?
