But I think I was saying something similar to Gazooya: I don't like straight vs. threads because we have to draw unofficial comparisons. I believe that if the worlds and strength of the characters from DBZ and YYH were supposed to be compared in forums like this, then Yoshihiro Togashi and Akira Toriyama would agree on it.

I don't think Yoshihiro Togashi takes DBZ vs. YYH too seriously. The doujinshi written by him that Nefelpitou-sama posted earlier showed a short fight between pre-demon Toguro and Majin Buu, with Toguro winning by firing a Rei Gun. Majin Buu was supposedly one of the many demons Toguro destroyed in his demon slaying days in the Yoshi-rin de pon world. He wasn't disrespecting DBZ vs. YYH, but he was having a good time being cheeky. He also drew several other short stories in that doujinshi that were all cheeky and funny. The funniest was Toguro as a school-girl. That doujinshi showed just how fictional worlds do not always follow the rules that we may think apply to them. It is ultimately up to the creators who have the real authority on the issue, which is related to the reason why I don't like vs. threads.

Is this the scene you are referring to?



I thought that Piccolo said that Super Boo could not leave because the only tunnel to the ROSAT dimension was destroyed. He assumed that Super Boo was incapable of forming his own tunnel. If Itsuki was in the same position, and Piccolo didn't know that Itsuki could make holes in dimensions, then Piccolo would say the same thing and Itsuki would replicate the same feat as Super Boo (making a tunnel, but with a special ability instead). This still doesn't address overcoming the Kekkai, though. Although Itsuki should be able to escape the ROSAT if it is just a dimension, he couldn't do anything to the Kekkai.
