Nobody just simply watches him gather energy for the spirit bomb except for Jiren. Everyone else either tried to stop it, was distracted, or (in Frieza's case) was too busy being sadistic to even care what Goku was doing.

Because it probably takes only a second to get it formed, it's just slowed down for the viewers so they can clearly see the movements.

this too. it doesn't take as long as it seems. much like when sailor moon transforms or does her attacks. it's just stylized for anime.

Jiren let both Goku and Vegeta charge to full just so he could brush it off and crush their hope

The same reason as why the good guys patiently wait for the villains to finish transforming or powering up.

They don't want to have to wonder if they could have beaten the other guy at maximum strength or not. It's an ego thing.

this too. it doesn't take as long as it seems. much like when sailor moon transforms or does her attacks. it's just stylized for anime.


That's blatantly not true. It literally takes as long as it seems like it does. That's a headcanon/thing fans made up.

The series itself isn't even consistent enough to draw a certain conclusion about how fast they're moving. When Goku was trying to get the spirit bomb charged against Vegeta, he's taking his time to gather energy and he's hiding amongst rubble and stalling for time. But when Hercule and the other normies show up to fight/spectate against Cell, Goku and Cell are depicted as moving faster than the naked eye and so quick that a slow-mo cam still can't see them; where the only evidence that they didn't just simply disappear being the shockwaves of their clashes and the rapid eye movements of the actual fighters. But then DBS introduces not only Dyplo, a dude that makes Jeice suck his own shit, but they even bring back the afterimage technique and completely throws all of those speed fears completely out of the water.

Are you just talking about those specific shows? Because it's a common thing in fiction for things that are happening in milliseconds to be shown slowed down to the viewer.

Just DBZ/S. I'm aware it happens elsewhere.
