this is so bad that I can't even stand it. Tom and jerry, yoruichi and Shenron being present are so messed up. Might as well give him a power that can actually summon or create them but you gave Annihilation Maker to him instead, which doesn't even work this way. the least you could have done is come up is make a reasonable excuse such as altering Annihilation maker like in Annihilation Maker dxd but instead start adding things left and right that doesn't make sense.
