It's a long term project. It's a show of soft power to the regions around them. Over time, people will be indifferent. Look at PSG nobody was talking about Qatar being terrible the whole time. Even when they won the bid it wasn't till 4 years later people started talking about them again. Then there wasn't really any fuss till the WC drew near.

Meanwhile their efforts attract commerce, put the nations name on the map, displays them as lucractive global players. It's not the average person they're after.

But eventually still, the average person will grow complacent. Stop reacting to the mere mention of Sheikh or Middle East. Stop them being adverse to fueling their economy.

It doesn't hide their trash. Just starts making people ignore it.

See how many City fans will say "Well they develop loads of bad areas in Manchester", "They contributed to our communities".

At least he's a present father and husband.

For the most part he trained at home. Instead of swanning off to the desert for months. Not even coming home.

And you can call it 'beating', he was training his son, then at least he did take him to the park after. And in the context of the show, he isn't shown to hate it. It's played like he pestered Vegeta into training him.

Vegeta refuses until Trunks reveals he can go Super Saiyan.

Ok I'm going to be that guy.

The mainline of that arc is that Goku realises he can't beat Cell. He knows if he is gone, and there isn't someone strong enough, everyone is doomed.

He knew Gohan was more powerful than him.

Gohan had to beat cell at his strongest, or he wouldn't be strong enough later and everyone would be dead anyway.

All roads lead to everyone dead if Gohan couldn't reach his potential.

^^Edit: It leads to one of the best episodes. That depicts the week before the Cell games. Everyone expects him to be amped like usual, but he spends the entire time just chilling with his family, not training and telling Gohan to take a beat too. He knows it could all go south.

However, Goku is still a shitty father. Vegeta 4 lyf.
