the analogy here doesn’t work. You admit that his ki decreased, letting everyone know he probably got bodied. Btw nobody thought he was dead here, they just know went his ki go down. Goku on the other hand, ki went down to 0 instantly, hence why ppl thought he was gone. And Gohan and Piccolo who was right next to the crater couldn’t see him either.Again, ki dropping heavily is a result of being severely injured. Example off the top of my head: When Dr. Gero donuted Yamcha, everyone felt Yamcha's ki decrease substantially, indicating that something horrible had happened to him
It's neither
Tien actually notes on his power draining, implying that it didn’t go down in 1 go, obviously different from Goku who pl went down instantly.
