The battles are slideshows which should be the best part. "This is the most powerful move seen ever in the history. Here's a 5 minute history of the move also as a slideshow. The move didn't even hurt the opponent and everyone in the world is amazed." Repeat this 3 - 4 times over per fight and that's the whole thing.
One episode has zero fighting or character building and is just people reacting to the characters. This could engage if every participant and every move weren't the best ever seen ever.
