What? No. Only ONE has to be shown in front. At minimum. Two can be in front just fine. It's only a problem if all three are shown in front because then the back would be dark.

One in front is just the minimum. Two could also be in front of it and one is behind it. We don't know, so we don't assume, we just know for a fact one must be.
The third object cannot be a mistake, as we have seen it twice, and based on the way it casts shadows, it should be one of the suns.
So we see a sun at different parts of the planet?

And?

Unless all three are shown simultaneously in the sky, Nothing changes, and more of this interpretative drawing shit.
You really don't need to read them;
I'm not ASKING you. You post english scans for people to read, or stop posting.

I have to take you word for it, I'm not going to take your word for it.
Post english, or stop posting on the english forum in a debate with english speaking people. Your lack of actually complying has been relevant at least twice, where the actual stated dialogue contradicts or rebukes the argument you have been making.
the key part of my argument is paying attention to the drawings. If you need any context, I can provide it. Either way, in the Imgur album, I already included information about which planets they were.
Not sufficient. And I'm not taking your word for anything either. You're forcing me to waste my time to look shit up when you should be posting them to begin with.
Your context is heavily opinionated, you've actively proven that time and time again.

You can't include information that doesn't even exist. Freeza planet for example has no such lore, actually it does, it's part of a duel planet system, which is in fact shown in the scans. Which, actually doesn't support your claim at all that the white object, is a moon. In fact it pretty explicitly confirms it isn't a moon because we know how many it has. That being two.
In the panels where stars are shown in space, large white dots are not typically seen.
What the hell are you talking about? It's LITERALLY every time.
7ox5Cfg.png

Moreover, it has already been confirmed that on other planets with moons orbiting nearby, they are also illustrated this way.
That isn't true, at no point do they say anything about moons in the majority of the scans.

Why would they ever anyway? That don't say "oh this random no-named planet we just flew by has these specific moons", they don't even say anything about Freeza planet.

Confirmation and your personal opinion, are not the same thing.
Therefore, if we see points much larger compared to the background stars, and they are oddly placed around the planets, the simplest assumption is that they are moons. Occam's razor and all that.
Except half the time they aren't even oddly placed around the planets, a chunk of them are just off in the expanse.

Occam's Razor would tell you the blatantly and differently drawn white sphere objects would be stars, not planets and moons, when said panels also show planets and moons drawn completely differently.

Your opinion, because this is all this is, is not fact. I do not want your opinion, I want actual proof. If your entire argument hinges on "i THINK this is", that isn't good enough.
I don't think it's necessary for them to be drawn to scale to confirm they are moons.
To bad? You don't think? Isn't good enough, and that's all your arguments have been, simply what you think, not what is actually proven.

It's a real, existing, place, shit needs to be drawn remotely to scale. Not literally hundreds of times off.

Jupiter is Jupiter.
It's very common in comics and manga for the sizes of objects and distances within the solar system not to be depicted accurately.
Ok then where's Jupiter's other dozens of moons? Jupiter doesn't have just 4 moons, it has almost a hundred. Are you going to say only specifically 4 where drawn off scale just because?

And again, this isn't an argument, you're presuming. This isn't fact, you're legit just saying "They're moons. They're moons because art is bad". Even though it's just as likely they're some stars in the background, given they're drawn like stars, and if it was Jupiter's moons, the scale is hilariously wrong, let alone the positioning, and the only argument you have to warrant that, falls flat when you remember Jupiter has so many moons that you'd legit then be arguing only a FEW of the moons were drawn off to scale while the others weren't making your very own reasoning inconsistent within itself.
And again, stars in the space sky or the starry sky on Earth are rarely illustrated as such large white dots.

7ox5Cfg.png

Get used to this scan.
They literally are. The only reason you're saying they aren't is because you're saying they're moons, and because they're moons they can't be stars. Based on the fact, they're moons? No, what the hell? You're just saying words, and then concluding it's the case so it can't be the other thing.
The simplest assumption is also the most plausible. If you have white circles orbiting around planets, the assumption that they are moons is the most accurate, especially if they have already been illustrated this way.
This is a bad argument. The simplest assumption would be they're stars because that's what stars even on those very panels look like, and sometimes even the preceding page like the above one.

No, the simplest assumption isn't the most plausible, that's a fallacious argument in and of itself. Something can be simple, and be completely wrong once you actually look over the context and details, notwithstanding your arguments have been mostly interpretation, assumptions, and cherry picking combined.

Especially if they've already been illustrated that way? The same applies to suns and stars, so by your own logic they're stars. Your argument hinges on a double standard that only exists because you're presuming them to be something and then concluding your verdict without any real proof.

And orbiting around planets? Who's to say they're even orbiting them? That's ONLY the case with Namek because we know how it's day-night cycle works so we know one must be in the foreground at minimum. This isn't the case for other stuff. A white sphere being drawn next to a random planet in space, or in some cases not even near it, there's often quite a gap, doesn't mean it's in front of next to it. They could be billions of miles back for all we know. You're making extra assumptions.
Again, in other images of the starry sky, large white dots have not been seen.
Literally EVERY example you've given shows at least some. And if you look over the manga, you'd see a bunch more too. Do I really need to go grab every time?
The assumption that these are moons or planets is more reasonable, especially if they have already been illustrated this way, and considering that these objects are more abundant than stars.
An assumption? That ain't a solid argument.
Reasonable and actually being the case are not the same thing. It isn't reasonable because for it to be reasonable you have to completely ignore that

1. Suns and stars are also drawn that way, often in the same panel.

2. Moons and planets wouldn't even be visible in 99% of the shots given the relative fly-by distance to planets in said examples.

3. Planets and moons are drawn on the same pages and they're drawn completely differently.

And being more abundant means nothing, you know what's also true? The fact you can actually see countless suns and stars in space but not other planets and moons at a distance. Being more abundant means nothing at all if we're talking about what would be more abundantly visible.
If these objects have the same texture gradient as the body orbiting the planet where Nappa and Vegeta were, are we really going to assume that all these objects are suns?
Dude, that specific object is LITERALLY given the same texture gradient as EARTH'S SUN is, in the fight literally a few chapters prior. which you posted.

We're going to say that the object drawn that way is yeah, which is the entire premise of your own argument anyway.
The assumption that they are moons makes even more sense.
There, you just confirmed it again. An ASSUMPTION. I don't want an assumption, I want proof. Your arguments are merely you assuming things, often while contradicting yourself.
The argument here is to demonstrate that moons have been illustrated in many ways, but generally as white circles.
And this is essentially conceding to cherry picking.

You admit moons have been drawn differently.

But because they've been rarely drawn like that, which fyi, it isn't "generally", it's pretty damn rare, made even worse as the majority of your examples you're even using aren't even moons anyway, in some they are in fact suns, or there's literally no info to go on so calling them anything is simply headcanon and assuming, ie, not an actual argument because me saying nuh uh they arent moons has just as much backing.
Therefore, if we see objects near Namek depicted this way, it is safe to assume they are moons, especially if we observe the details added to their surface, details I haven’t seen used to illustrate suns or stars in the manga.
Lad, this entire chunk of text had you admit to you just assuming, and cherry picking examples, You don't get to "therefore". Especially because unlike your presumptuous arguments, there's actual stated lore here.
Well, I already answered this above, but something I want to add is that it’s quite a coincidence that the white dots are drawn right around the planets.
Except when they aren't. In multiple of your shots given, they're drawn like half the panel away, or even further.

In fact, in some of the shots, the tiny specks that I will trust you aren't going to say are also moons, are drawn in-between the alleged "moon" and planets. Are those actually just smaller moons too?

If everything argument hinges on "I think" and not "is", there's nothing to argue. I'm not here for conjecture.

But speaking of coincidences, ain't it odd how every time after the 3 sun lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects consistently?
Relying solely on the illustrations isn’t really a good approach, as doing so would lead to considering all the planets in the manga to be larger than the stars. I base my argument on how things were illustrated and supporting evidence that confirms these white objects orbiting the planets are objectively moons.
You have no clue what the word objective means holy hell.

That's the thing, your entire argument is solely relying on illustrations. that's literally all you have, you just conceded that's not a good approach, you straight up stated this is a bad way of arguing.

You don't HAVE supporting evidence. You just assume that's what they are, end of, you don't have anything saying "this random thing is a moon/planet", you just go "oh yep that's a moon, and because it's drawn like a star, moons can be drawn like that".

The anime itself confirms these bodies are moons:

I already said the anime wasn't gonna fly, because we're talking about the manga. That's, also not good?
Fg41XDf.png
The two darkened objects, coincide with the anime's moons there? The white objects? Do not. They're blatantly stars in the anime too. You're rebuking your own point.

I also said I'd be against using this for the anime, so yep. The anime lacks any of the sun shots too making it worse for them.

And yeah, the anime, which was aired while the manga was being drawn and didn't have the foresight or knowledge of how things would have been.

The anime actively cut every shot with the orbiting suns in it, isn't it odd? How every shot after the manga drops the sun lore, where we see what is evidently suns, the anime, which had already locked in, simply opts not to show those scenes?

It's almost like


this wouldn't be the last time either the anime incorrectly surmised what a celestial object is meant to be (those are very explicitly suns in the manga canon, flatout stated in multiple guides even).
If stars are consistently depicted as white dots in the background of space, they do not show the same details as the objects near Namek.
Except EVERYTIME after the sun lore gets dropped, Namek is shown with 3 detailess objects near it. You're effectively agreeing they're drawn how they "should" be.
As for the panels, these include all the space panels from the Saiyan Saga to the Namek Saga. Then, in the Majin Buu saga, only Earth panels are shown.
That isn't even true.


Here's a space shot. From that saga.

See this? Nothing but white objects, a starry sky. But there's a few white objects drawn at different scales too, some decently big.

Are these moons too? Your argument just above was "they're drawn "close" to planets so they're moons", but there's no planets in this panel? Are they just moons off in the middle of space for the hell of it then? Pretty huge stretch in logic don't you think? That a panel that is literally just stars, at varying sizes, just so happens to have the funny white dots too, yet no real planet in sight for them to even be orbiting to be reasonably called moons?

Majin Buu Saga actually goes wild because Kai's World has suns out the ass drawn exactly like that.
On the same pages, both planets and moons are visible. If you were flying at those distances, you could clearly see these systems.
Which is my point, if you LITERALLY see planets and moons on the same pages, and they're drawn not like that, why the hell are you assuming they're moons or planets? If they were moons or planets they'd be drawn like the moons and planets we already see.
Furthermore, based on real-world logic, you don’t see star flares that stand out significantly from the rest, nor with such abundance.
You actually do to an extent, and you most certainly would in deep space travel across a galaxy, at some point you're going to nearing or passing by other solar systems so some stars would look much closer.

Given this ENTIRE topic is about a solar system with three suns anyway at worst, this argument doesn't even make sense.
The white dots that appear in the background of space, near the planets, don't follow the same pattern as the stars in the background, which are just small, distant points.
Except that again, isn't even true, the "white distant points" in and of themselves are variable sizes to denote scale and depth.

Here, that panel from that same saga. Notice how the very blatantly stars, only stars btw we don't see anything resembling a planet or moon, so you can't pull the "well they're drawn "close" to a planet so they must be moons", are drawn in varying sizes, from tiny, to medium, to decently big too? Same scale as the Namekian shots even, or even some of your own examples?

You can't say these are just moons, you also can't even cop out an argument saying they're just detailess planets because at that point you're just throwing shit and seeing what sticks as me and you both know damn well if they were meant to be planets they'd be drawn as such, like here.

So no, don't follow the same pattern, you've just been cherry picking panels, and concluding they're moons, even though in the very same panels, it isn't even consistent with how the non-star like celestial objects get drawn.
Therefore, the assumption that these white dots are moons makes more sense, especially when considering the proximity of these objects and how they are illustrated in comparison to the stars.
You're cherry picking what is already inconsistent evidence.

And there's that word again "the assumption", I don't want an assumption. I want proof. Especially not proof that has been you foregoing panels that prove this line of thought bunk like the multiple other space shots you haven't included from that same saga where we see those exact same type of white dots, among stars, and only stars, with no planet to orbit in sight.

And proximity?
7WktKZC.png


Take the Jupiter example. Why is one of the farther away larger dots the EXACT same size, as one of the objects you've been calling a moon? Or that triple set between them?

Is that a moon too? It's the same scale as that close one? But why would it be a moon, Jupiter doesn't have any moons triple its distance that are even perceptible? So why the inconsistency? Why the contradiction? If we can be sure that far away one is just a star in the background, why is the object the same size as it up close to it, also not just a star but actually an impossibly big moon that Jupiter doesn't even actually have? As opposed to just being a star in the background that's drawn at a different scale as literally every panel with stars in the manga in space shots do, because let's not forget, the stars in a backdrop are never drawn identically in size between all of them, they're always drawn at different sizes to convey varying distances.

There's more like that, some are even worse where the alleged would-be moon is on the other side of the panel even.
Occam’s Razor suggests that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one, but in this case, the assumption that all the white spheres are stars doesn’t hold when we consider how the other objects in the same panel are illustrated.
"the assumption", and there it is again.
Why am I even arguing with you ffs you've literally just confirmed like 5 times you're assuming stuff.

As above, the simplest is "usually" the correct one, only works when there isn't extra info to go on, which we have in this case, as Namek's lore is explicit with its 3 suns, and thus when after every point we get a space shot we see 3 sun-like objects near it, every time, that conflicts with Occam's Razor as there's other info that no longer makes things just throwing shit at the wall.

That is not withstanding your assumption here, is based on two more layers of assumptions, which you in this very post conceded to being assumptions, as opposed to based on solid fact.

That logic is actively why this argument is bad. If you consider how all the other objects in the panel are illustrated, then they're blatantly not planets or moons because we see other physical celestial objects on said panels, and they're drawn completely differently. But the stars? About the same, just at varying scales. And do we know Toriyama draws stars like that, even among starry skies?
8dv0TD8.png


Yep we do (I would grab more but I'm not reading the whole ass manga to grab more scans of the obvious).

If your entire argument is solely based on assumptions and GUESSING stuff and presuming what shit is, that isn't an argument.
If moons and planets are drawn with distinct details and clearly differ from the white dots that might be stars, the most reasonable assumption is that those white dots near the planets are moons.
What the hell, you just disagreed with yourself. "If moons and planets get drawn with details, then white dots are moons".

What am I even arguing at this point, it doesn't even make sense. And hey look, there it is again, "assumption".
Moreover, basic logic suggests that if an object is close enough to a planet to be visible with more detail, it wouldn’t be treated the same way as distant stars, which are represented in a simplified manner. Therefore, we can't simply assume that everything depicted as a white sphere in space must be a star, especially when the details in other objects on the same panel show that it’s not the case.
????
You're literally arguing against yourself. You just gave perfect reasoning as to why NOT to assume they're moons, only to go "but they're moons tho".

You're arguing that if an object is close to be drawn with detail on the same panel, they would NOT be treated with little to no detail like stars.
You say because in the SAME PANEL they show it's not the case with other moons and stars.
Ergo, we assume they're moons and not stars?

What? If they're close enough to be seen, drawn large enough, and are meant to be moons, and the same panel shows planets and moons elsewhere with detail, they'd also be given detail to coincide with the others to make it clear they're also moons or whatever. If they aren't, then they aren't and are just stars like the rest of the dozens drawn on the same panel?

This argument legitimately makes no sense wtf.
The objects orbiting near Namek are illustrated the same way as other moons in different panels of the manga, even showing surface details similar to those of moons, details that have never been assigned to any star.
The assumption that these objects are suns would require making additional assumptions, whereas the simplest and most consistent interpretation, based on how moons are illustrated, is that they are moons, not suns.
"Hey btw, Namek has specifically 3 suns, just 3 btw, oh btw every time after this we're gonna draw 3 objects around Namek in this exact configuration but exactly like stars".
Is pretty straightforward, I wouldn't even call it an assumption. It's simply going off the very explicit hard stated info we have, as opposed to Namek also having 3 celestial objects around it that aren't suns too which is never stated.

Based on how they're illustrated, yet you ignore how they're illustrated every time after the fact? You're trying to have your cake and eat it too, you very own arguments can be used against it.

The most consistent interpretation? Namek is actually shown with the 3-sun like objects more if we're talking consistency. As said, it is every time after the lore gets dropped. Contrary to 3. Yes 3 I counted, in the early chapters before the sun revelation was revealed. From that point on, never again.

And given your logic here is based on literally 4-5 layers of assumptions, which also have major flaws in them, I'm not so sure I'd call this reasonable let alone CRT worthy. I don't even want to get into the "moons at other parts of the manga", as that is still your assuming stuff and often aren't even correct in said assumption regardless, and is a minority.
What I know is that stars have never been depicted with the same level of detail as the objects near Namek. The visual difference in details is clear, and there are no similar examples where stars are illustrated in such a detailed manner or similar to the objects near Namek.
How are we foregoing the like 8 times Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects without any merit of detail because that matters apparently.

I'm convinced you don't even know what the argument is at this point.
Your argument is based on a selective interpretation of the illustrations.
What the ****? Literally everything you've said this post has been STRICTLY THAT, it isn't me arguing that, it's you. If you think that's a bad argument, then that saves me the time of saying it because you've just called your entire premise bad.

No lad, we have explicit stated info, namek has 3 suns, thus, an eternal day.
Every time after, Namek is shown with 3 sun-like objects orbiting it.
You yourself had conceded on the fact that some panels almost certainly show 3 suns around it just "a bit further out", which, still proves the CRT's proposal correct.

But because moons, rarely, can be drawn like suns/stars get drawn, they're moons. This is ignoring the relevant lore, even potential retcons as DBZ ain't no stranger to that, especially mid-writing, based solely on, what you, yourself, have confirmed to be assumptions on top of assumptions, based on panels that aren't even consistent with your own arguments? Nah man that shit is on you.
The stars have not been depicted in the same way as the objects near Namek, which have visual details consistent with moons, not suns. The fact that, after the "sun lore" was introduced, these objects continue to be drawn in a way that resembles moons is significant, and that’s the point I’m making.
What? Literally never once was any object by Namek drawn like a moon after the sun lore is mentioned. This isn't up for debate, it never happens.

Unless you mean "no detail, sun-like white spheres" to be "moons", but you already admitted to just making numerous assumptions to come to that line of thought based on panels that contradict you even. All while ignoring that suns are also drawn the way you claim moons to be for some reason, making your entire argument, hinged on assumptions, headcanon and cherry picking, to be at best just a "maybe".
It’s true that some moons aren’t consistently drawn with certain details, but that doesn’t change the fact that, in the panels where these objects near Namek are shown, the surface details are more consistent with moons than with stars.
You mean most. And least of all, none in your examples, which is the worst part. You aren't even giving the scans that do exist that corroborate your point, but are instead giving panels that contradict your point, and saying these specific shots are what support you. It legit makes no sense and makes it evident this argument is less an argument, and more just grasping at straws.

And fifth time now, everytime after the fact we're told Namek has 3 suns, that we see 3 sun-like objects by it, is not "Namek's suns are pretty consistently drawn like moons", but the exact opposite, they're consistently not drawn like that, never drawn like that even after a certain point, are consistently drawn the way stars get drawn, and to make matters worse? Given you want to keep arguing Namek has 3 moons specifically, it can still have 3 moons alongside the 3 suns we get shown, ESPECIALLY because you yourself has argued that Namek does have 3 suns, they're just a bit further out and even drew lines to the things.
Furthermore, we’re not ignoring the suns in the panels, but simply pointing out that when objects are illustrated with more detail near a planet, the most logical assumption is that they are moons.
Holy hell there it is again, "assumption".

And no that's all you've been doing, in almost every example you've given, it's been calling objects without detail moons. Even WHEN they're drawn large enough to be given ample detail.
And as for the last point, even after the "sun lore" is introduced, the objects near Namek are still depicted in a way that makes it plausible they are moons, as they aren’t given the same visual treatment as the suns. It’s important to consider the full context of the illustrations and not just focus on a small snippet of them.
No they aren't, it literally never happens.
Every single time, they're drawn as blank spheres.

To say "they're still depicted as moons", is objectively false, and I know you know that, because you've even sent panels you've conceeded on being stars. It never happens, why you're saying it happens, I'd call even straight up lying, unless I'm just forgetting a scan, but I've skimmed that shit like 4 times now, not once can I recall does it happen.

The full context of the illustrations? The ONLY context we have is Namek has 3 suns and thus an eternal day.
Meanwhile every piece of evidence you've given has been prefaced with "assumption", as opposed to "based on what we actually know". And the other scans, is just you asserting they must be moons, despite the blatant contradictions in those very same scans.

My argument isn't based on a preconceived notion, but on how moons are illustrated in the manga and anime.
The anime? What? The anime literally never draws them like that, ever. And in the case of Namek, they outright removed any of the post sun lore sun scenes, probably to avoid contradictions if anything with what they already went with or to avoid confusion.

And manga? You're cherry picking, end of. You're ignoring the majority of how they're illustrated, using scans you don't even know for a fact what they are, and then just claiming they're moons.

The preconceived notion is the very fact you're assuming things to be moons to begin with despite the contrary evidence in those very same scans. And your reasoning doesn't even work for why either. Bigger white spheres? We see stars get drawn in different sizes all the time in starry sky backdrops in the manga. Near planets? That isn't even true half the time and can just as easily be stars in the background just closer. They drawn like planets/moons? Wrong again, half the time we see moons/planets on that same panel drawn and they're drawn demonstrably different, even when the moon/planet is SMALLER than the white object, making the size to draw excuse not applicable. I could go on, I don't have to though because you've said yourself at every point you're just making an assumption.
The objects near Namek have visual details that match how moons are typically depicted, and the anime confirms they are moons when Goku asks for their energy.
The anime actually implicates they're whole-ass planets.
But, again, umpteenth time, they aren't in the manga.

In much the same way the Planet of the Kai's has moons in the anime, in the manga they're explicitly stars.
The anime locking in because it was being done as the manga was and often overtook the manga and thus filler, is not a good indication if the sun shit came in half way through the saga.

I said before, long before you showed up, I'd be against the anime Namek being treated like this. This isn't new info, it's conflating canons.
Also, in the starry skies, we've never seen white dots that large compared to the average, which makes the idea of these objects being moons orbiting planets even more plausible.
8dv0TD8.png


Why even say things you know aren't true. Hell this is ONE page before one of your own examples, I KNOW you know of this shot, and there's a bunch more like it too.

Stop cherry picking, and stop trying to say things as if we haven't read the manga.

Like in this shot, where's the planets? Why's that one drawn next to stars anyway? Are you going to still call them moons? Or maybe you're going to call them planets now? Just planets drawn without any semblance of detail despite them being drawn large enough to easily be given some?
I understand the confusion, but the key point here is that while stars are often drawn as white circles, the objects orbiting Namek have been depicted with unique surface details, unlike stars.
And yet, never again after the sun information is dropped.
The consistency in how moons are illustrated—especially in the anime, where their surfaces are shown—supports the idea that these are moons, not stars. So, while they may resemble stars in shape, the added details and context point to them being moons.
The anime is not the manga.

Hell whatever happened to not using the anime anyway? So much for that, I'll keep that in mind. Fortunately the existence of the Land of the Kai's makes using the anime for this type of argument very, very, dubious. In fact the anime removing all the panels in which the 3 star-like objects are blatantly shown, is suspicious in and of itself. Why, do you think they removed them? If they were meant to be planets at that point, why not keep them in and just draw them as planets now? They didn't.

And you keep saying they resemble stars in shape (no shit), but left out how they're drawn like them too, consistently after a certain point, based on evidence from the anime or before that info is revealed? And the only context we have is literally the sun lore, your assumptions aren't context.

Dude, when I could legitimately just say "lmao retcon" and it wouldn't even be wrong, there's an issue with your evidence's placement. You need evidence post sun lore.

But the worst part is? This doesn't disprove the sun thing, Namek can have moons yet still have stars, which, funnily enough, just your prior post you argued "those 3 objects weren't suns, THESE the suns" in a panel where they're drawn a tad further away.... While still showing Namek eclipsing them in size? So what's even the argument? You've proven that no matter the case, even if Namek just so happens to have 3 planets up its ass, it still has 3 suns it can be scaled off?
The moon here has the same design as the object near Namek. You can check it here:
That has absolutely nothing to do with my argument.

My argument was that the thing you're calling a moon CAN'T be the planetary looking body seen from the ground shot based on a slew of reasons.

"it looks like-", except that doesn't rebuke or even comment on the fact that object isn't the big white object shown the next page you're claiming to be the same thing.
The same thing happens with the objects near Namek, which also have similar details, so I don't think it's a valid argument to say that the object orbiting near this planet isn't the same one seen in the sky.
No it doesn't?

Did you really just ignore all the issues I just outlined to go "well uh, no"?

Positioning is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
The size is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
It's very position and size, relative to the OTHER object we see, is impossible and contradicts the prior panel.
Etc.

It isn't the same object, it can't be. Nothing lines up, and it is the SAME spread, do you really think Toriyama messed up that badly when he would have just finished drawing it and even looking at it still?
Oh God! My friend discovered that the moons orbit the planet and can change position.
Moons don't change position that quickly. And no, they didn't "change position", that panel prior was them as they were about to leave,

Btw, this is what I mean by posting english scans, and then saying "nuh uh ya dont need to read them". Shit like this ain't slick dude, the moons wouldn't change positions in a whole 30 seconds. Unless those moons were orbiting at relativistic speeds, they wouldn't have changed like a whole day's worth, at a super messed up position too, it'd need to be like an asynchronous orbit, but why?

Except that isn't even true, the objects literally get mirrored, why? If they're orbiting it, in what situation would one be orbiting it so much quicker to completely overtake the other for that to occur? If what you're saying is true, and what we see is them directly parallel, then the masses wouldn't be that different, and neither the distances, so the orbital speed shouldn't be that drastically different?

It can't be due to the angle they left at, if it was, it wouldn't be mirrored, but upside down too. It just doesn't work.
Error, in both shots, the dark object is the smallest.
But you've been arguing LoD is relative to distance though right? That implicates the planetary one is much closer despite being within pixels of the same size as the dark one, no?
The white object in the space shot is the moon we see with details from the surface. I understand your point about the size and placement of the white object, but I don't think it's enough to rule out that these objects are the same.
Not how this works, if there's blatant contradictions, you don't get to go "uhm just ignore it lmao".

Especially given 90% of your examples is, in your own words, you simply assuming it to begin with.
The white sphere, while larger in some shots, has fewer details, which is consistent with how moons are illustrated in Dragon Ball.
No, I'm actually sick of this. Stop saying that's how they're consistently drawn, it's the minority, and all your examples are you presuming it at that, most of which shouldn't even be presumed to begin with because it's evident they aren't moons but just stars drawn in space.

All while ignoring what little scans do actually exist for this which makes it even more baffling.
The position can be explained by perspective or Toriyama's artistic simplification, as he sometimes omits details in the background.
Dude, spatial positioning is NOT the same as omitting details because things are far back and thus to small to properly draw on a sheet of paper.

If you drew a hyper detail skyscraper next to a house, and then in a different shot, even right after, you draw the skyscraper as just a rectangle and the house as a lil square. That's one thing, but you don't **** up the placements of them and have them be completely different from a second prior.
Also, if we want a more realistic explanation, moons can orbit and change position without it being an issue. It doesn't necessarily mean they aren't the same objects.
Dog they do not change positions in the time it takes Vegeta to stand up, say they're leaving, and then leave. Which everyone would know if you posted the english scans, that scene starts off midconvo, there's no time skip, jump, whatever, the moons did not change orbit and positions, sizes and placements within a 30 second back and forth.
Actually, I’m not sabotaging anything. The objects near Namek are its moons, and the three objects seen far away when a flash covers the entire planet and its moons, as well as during the planet's explosion, reasonably represent its three suns.

Backpedaling, but let it be known you are agreeing those are the suns (which is ****** up because they're literally drawn the same way....).
They can’t be used to scale Namek because their size in comparison to these objects isn’t shown; in one scene, a flash covers the entire planet, and in the other, it’s the explosion. Neither of these events necessarily implies that the suns and Namek have comparable sizes.
The flash of light that is planet shaped? Coming from the planet? Are you legitimately arguing now that that said flash is millions of times bigger than Namek itself? Yet somehow STILL confirming to the planet's shape and gravity? There is no way 🗿

And this again goes back to your cherry picking. You used the anime right? Yet why are you ignoring that flash of light in the anime was only that?


Like yep, that's definitely millions of times bigger than the planet itself. Mind you even at max expansion, it's width doesn't extend beyond this. Why are you cherry picking?

This is backpedaling. You conceded those were suns, agree they're suns, but making up new excuses as to why it don't count (which is odd even given if we were to calc it, the end result wouldn't even change as the point of reference for the calcs would be the suns, not Namek itself).
My argument is not solely based on interpretations or assumptions,
Literally EVERY thing you've said this post, you've prefaced with "assume" or "assumption". I don't even have to say it, you've said it yourself.
but on what has been shown in the manga and anime,
90% of your own scans contradict you.
The anime is you cherry picking too, as established above.
and how certain elements have been illustrated within the context of the work.
All while ignoring every instance that doesn't align with your assumptions.

This isn't solid proof, it's just going off assumptions, that probably aren't true in most cases, and using that as hard evidence.
Regarding objective evidence, the anime and how certain details about the objects near Namek are presented are consistent with the idea that they are not suns, but moons.
We love World of the Kai's.
We also love ignoring the various things the anime did in regards to Namek contradictory to the Namek in the manga, like removing the shots of the blatant suns post lore, which in itself is suspicious.
Or even just ignoring stuff like the above where the flash of light is literally just as big as Namek. Why is it ok to use the anime that blatantly veers off at times, but ignore it when it it shots you in the foot because you already admitted that they were stars so now you need to make an excuse for why Namek can't be scaled off it?
While I don't have a direct quote from a character or guide, visual representations should be taken into account when analyzing the scale of events and objects within the Dragon Ball universe.
So no solid proof, and visual evidence based solely on your interpretation and assumptions.

You realize I could just go "nuh uh those stars" and it would have the exact same weight to it as your claims right? An Assumption isn't proof. Your opinion isn't proof. And when it isn't even consistent within itself and your own evidence, it most certainly isn't a rebuttal.
The visual analysis and the differences in how objects are illustrated compared to suns in other scenes support my argument, beyond just a personal interpretation.
You say this, yet ignore the fact suns are also drawn like that. Other scenes? Lad in the same panels they're drawn the same way as stars, yet different from the planets and moons shown on said panel too.

If your whole argument hinges on visual illustrations, you've failed in that because you've proven stars and suns are almost universally drawn that way too, and ignoring how planets and moons are more often than not, not drawn like that.
In this case, there are three massive objects consistently orbiting around Namek. These do not have a size comparable to the ones we saw earlier and are located at a much greater distance than the objects near the planet.
For someone who argued "Toriyma just frugot" or "he just messed up positioning a bit", to argue that suddenly here it's different is pretty damn suspicious.

All while foregoing that your own scans, scans you admit to be stars so argument is over everyone, go home, were part of the "every time after" list of scans, and not some new meaningful info, STILL show Namek at an astronomical size and hell, would even still enable those blasts to be calced relative to the suns, just don't count because "oh nah the curvature we blatantly see? not namek, actually a million times bigger than namek tbh". And then conveniently ignore the anime, something you're now using as a crux despite it's blatant contradictions, shows that VERY scene, that flash of light, among other things, as not as large as you're assuming (again, assumption) to be?

No. there's no way this is an actual argument, and the worst part is, you're actively sabotaging any hard argument against Namek being that big, because if Namek just so happens to have 3 conveniently placed moons, but also 3 suns just a tad further out, you've just argued that it has a set of both, while arguing the moons that you claim to be there are not the blank white objects we also see at times, and thus both co-exist, and the "moons" don't conflict with the suns as they exist separately yet still at a scale Namek can be scaled off.

I legit don't get this, why even argue, you obviously don't want Namek to be that large, yet by just throwing out shit and seeing what sticks, you've given multiple examples and even explanations, unintentionally, that rebuke the opposing arguments ffs.
The other objects display details identical to those of other moons, which have not been seen in stars.
Early on, untill it isn't, buy not that that matters at all, I'm not repeating the same argument you've failed to even comment on like 5 times.
The distant objects of Namek have more evidence to be considered suns than the nearby objects, as they are visible during key moments: when a flash covers the entire planet and during Namek's explosion.
And other times but let's ignore those too 🗿
These objects appear far away and are illustrated as white spheres, suggesting they are much farther than the nearby moons.
Lad, they are literally closer to it than some of your own examples where you say that a random white sphere in the void of space is a moon because it's "by" a planet.

And "suggesting", so not fact, but a presumption...
But even if we go with this presumption, it simultaneously proves the CRT and yet voids any of the moon arguments as above 🗿
This is not the flawless argument you think it is.
The way they are presented in these scenes, without details on their surfaces, is consistent with the representation of suns in Dragon Ball.
Oh so NOW that's how suns are depicted, now, ONLY now. Not the other Namek shots, not the numerous space shots, but simply here? No difference, just conveniently now?

I *******, I can't dudes, set me free.

Not going to say again how arguing they're suns is actually a good thing, and was part of the CRT's proposal anyway for those specific scans to be suns, among others, so really this is just agreeing with the CRT but **** me ig, I hate this argument. It's literally just you picking when shit is what to suit your point.
On the other hand, the nearby objects, although also shown as white spheres, have more details on their surfaces, which is more typical of moons orbiting close to a planet.
"These white spheres have detai-", no? If they're shown as white spheres they aren't being shown with detail. Kind of blatant paradoxical statement there.

Or do you mean early on? Namek having a moon doesn't contradict the 3 suns we see orbiting it, especially post 3 sun yap.
Therefore, the distant objects have more evidence to be identified as suns than the nearby ones.
I mean, they're the same shit, you're just separating them and treating them as different things.

I'm not basing my argument on what should be scientifically correct, but on common sense, which proves to be valid in Dragon Ball Daima.
We have no idea how shit even works in Daima. Also, doesn't Daima LITERALLY have a planet so massive it has suns in it?

But sure, you concede your argument isn't at all based on

Scientific accuracy, and common sense, are very closely tied. It's common sense for [thing that is literally just how it works], my dude.

And if you're legitimately using Daima, you're digging yourself an even deeper hole.
Maybe at a greater distance, the heat isn't perceived as much as it should be, since it's not as intuitive as having it literally orbiting right next to you, which would, according to everyone, imply a much higher temperature.
What? Pretty sure Mercury being balls hot is common knowledge.
And lad, your very own scaling would constitute as "orbiting right next to you", twice as close as it is to Mercury, is very much right up a planet's ass. 7m km which you also gave, it just a few suns width away.

And ya know what's worse? If Namek WASN'T as big as being argued, the suns at that distance would eclipse most of the sky at all times because there'd be nowhere on the planet that's enough distance away from them for them to look only relatively big, as opposed to just the whole sky is a sun.
Sure, that has already been taken into account, which is why scaling was done for each one. It's to estimate the distance each one would be if they were aligned in parallel, as it's assumed that at least one of them must be.
And that proves the CRT? They're all super close to Namek in said panels?
I'm not playing devil's advocate. The point is, just because all three objects are visible doesn't automatically mean that Namek should be scaled from them.
That's literally what it means, one of them must be next to or in front of it. If that's the case, Namek can be scaled off at least one of them. We'd pick the smallest to be safe.

The only way it wouldn't be the case, is if we didn't have the lore explaining the 3 suns and why Namek is always day. If we did not have that, we would just go they're random suns a billion miles away or some shit.
It doesn't imply that Namek is significantly larger than its suns, which is crucial for the CRT.
That isn't how this works. If Namek and one sun was shown. We can't say Namek is next to it or behind it. If two were shown, same thing. If all 3 were shown? We can because we have to because one must be in front or next to it.

If Namek is shown simultaneously with its suns, scaling becomes possible. Whether Namek is bigger, smaller, or just as big, doesn't matter. This doesn't change the fact Namek can be scaled, and if it just so happens to end up bigger, so be it.
The argument is really focused on proving that the objects close to Namek are moons, while the distant objects, due to their great distance, could be the suns.
Your entireargument is self admitted assumptions and other slop like inconsistencies in the same panels and yadda yadda, you get it, I get it, everyone gets it. Same shit.
This argument doesn't support the idea that Namek is much larger than its suns, so it doesn't strengthen the CRT in this case.
We literally see it, including in the very panels you're now locked in arguing ARE in fact suns, but just to far away to matter.
I'm not basing this on strict scientific parameters, but on common sense, which is reflected in Dragon Ball Daima, and it seems to align with this reasoning, though not in a strictly scientific way.
A small sun was able to significantly raise the temperature of the first demon realm, so imagine the impact of a normal-sized sun orbiting so close to Namek.
Ignoring basic science is not common sense.

And what? We have no idea how big the Demon World is? In fact, what are you talking about? That's a normal sized sun in the Demon Realm? They never say it's small, you're making an assumption, again, that is never backed or sourced in literally anything, that doesn't even make sense in the cntext of the demon world anyway.

In fact the third demon world is the biggest one, literally encompassing the second demon world, which is filled with planets, of which some are even normal or larger in size. Yet you're arguing it's a tiny sun that is lighting up the world that eclipses countless planets?

How could a tiny sun that light up and give a functional day-night cycle to a world that is probably, at minimum, already bigger than most average stars simply based on the second demon world? Hell we even got statements how it would take days to cross it in high-tech ships, or how thousands of km, actual planetary distances, are but miniscule fractions of it?

So no, in fact if you want to use Daima, the exact opposite is proven true.

What are these planets? I'm not familiar with this information. I'm not exactly sure what the evidence is, but I understand that the same word used to refer to stars is also applied to planets and moons, which could cause some confusion.
No dude, they're suns, literally drawn with
2vjCqL0.png


One of a bunch of blatant art dictating as such.

And from Daizenshuu
"Kaioshin Planet
Area: Afterlife
Special Characteristics: The planet that the kaioshin live on. It’s distinguished as a place with a pink sky and numerous suns. It is a very sturdy planet, and cannot be damaged easily. However, it suffered damage during the battle between Goku and Majin Buu (pure).
Battles: Son Goku vs. Majin Buu (pure)

Events: Kaioshin brought Gohan here in order to draw out the Z Sword. Also, after having his seal broken, the Elder Kaioshin powered up Gohan. Furthermore, it became the site of the final battle with Majin Buu. (Daizenshuu 4, p.73)"
Since there is no clear evidence of the existence of extremely large planets in the mortal universe of Dragon Ball and considering that we don't have a precise reference for what is considered "large" in this context,
I like how you just made an arbitrary assumption. Why mortal? We already know super huge planets exist?
the most reasonable assumption is that the largest planets in Dragon Ball follow more realistic scales, similar to those in the real universe.
I'm gonna re-enact the end of MGS4 ong.
"Assumption". Assumption isn't fact.

A big planet could be larger than a solar system, we don't know, there's nothing to go on beyond the fact we know planets can be so astronomically huge that the proposed Namek's size looks pathetic in comparison.

You don't get to go "oh well we have no idea how big a top end large one is, so surely they're smaller", we don't know. It isn't an argument both for and against. It's a literal nothing line.
This makes even more sense given that it has been mentioned that the mortal universe of Dragon Ball is inspired by our own.
Yeah with planets like Namek which have 3 suns and an eternal day which is literally not possible irl no matter how big it is 🗿
Dodoria's statement about Namek saying that "it's not such a big planet" reinforces the idea that its size is not colossal, especially when compared to its three suns.
You are really locking in a statement about planets when a not even average planet in DBZ is multiple times earth, earth is considered pathetically small, and super ultra planets exist just fine constantly?

Because you ASSUME the details of a vague statement?
Additionally, if Namek were significantly larger than its suns, Dodoria's statement would lose its meaning in the context of the story. This is reflected in how the characters take considerable time to cover long distances on Earth; if Namek were that enormous, the difficulty of searching for the Dragon Balls across the planet would have been addressed differently.
What? He's just talking about in reference to the villages? It's a one off line that's before the sun lore btw, where he's just like "damn this is a pain in the ass, oh well it could be worse".

The intent of the line is to show annoyance but acknowledge it isn't impossible.

Don't even start with the movement speed shit. Namek could be literally be star sized, and at the speed they're at, at said point, wouldn't make it unfeasible, it'd be a pain, but not impossible to travel a super planet, it'd just take some hours, which, is perfectly fine? It was already taking them awhile. When if Namek was earth sized, it shouldn't have taken Krillin two hours to go to a place that isn't even in the other side of the planet tbh.

Dodoria for example is explicitly faster than them at that point in movement, Krillin and Gohan even say as much and have to resort to Solar Flare because they were gonna get caught and killed otherwise, and Dodoria would have vastly exceeded Goku's flight speed at that point which thinking on it, why isn't that even calced? We see what Snake Way looks like, we can account for the curves he skipped just fine by drawing it out? Freeza and Zarbon, would be even quicker.

And no, them covering Earth doesn't really take long at all? At that point in the story, there was never a point where flying around earth to find dragon balls took any semblance of time at all, or flying around earth at all, assuming they weren't holding back or conserving energy.
It's not just about interpretations, but objective evidence based on the visual consistency within the series.
Dude, your visual consistency is literally just your interpretation in and of itself.

Objective, is not "assumptions", which you have stated to be as such every argument.Ad again, your examples aren't even consistent within themselves. And you've conveniently, deliberately or not, excluded a bunch of space shots in said arc that displays said inconsistencies too.
Moons are regularly depicted as white circles, and like the objects near Namek, they orbit close to the planets.
Except when they aren't. Except when half your examples aren't even moons to begin with and ARE actually stars.

Sometimes they're not orbiting a planet too, sometimes they're super far away from the planet like half way across the panel too. You're cherry picking, and not even doing that good a job at it.
Additionally, these nearby objects show surface details, something that has never been shown on any star.
Except they don't. This is legit just wrong.

They don't show details, we see 3 blank white objects around Namek multiple times after the 3 sun yap gets dropped. They aren't given details, the fact they lack details is part of the problem in your incessant statements. And your rebuttal to that is simply "they're actually moons anyway".
Therefore, it's logical to assume that these objects are moons and not stars, given how they are illustrated and behave within the context of the series, especially considering that the anime itself confirms these are not suns.
There that word is again, "assume". Not fact, not anything, just more assumptions based solely on your, at this point, 8 layers of assumptions.

Because "they're illustrated a specific way", which is ****** up as you have multiple times in this very post, went back and forth saying what does and doesn't count and contradicting yourself. It's absolutely asinine.

The anime also cut every shot with the suns in question, contradicts you explicitly on your reason for why shots you DO agree with being the suns don't count, and has the problem with being aired and made alongside the manga and even overtaking it at points and thus didn't have that foresight.
The absence of an explicit mention of the three moons near Namek does not invalidate their possible existence.
Their possible existence?

I hate this I really do.
The fact that they are not directly mentioned in the series is not proof that they are not present; this would be a fallacy of appeal to silence.
Your previous line was literally just stating it might possibly exist. Not that they do exist.

Namek, in the context of the manga, just so happens to have 3 moons.
They reveal Namek has 3 suns.
Every single shot afterward shows namek with 3, very blatantly drawn sun-like objects, as your very own scans would dictate contrary to your beliefs.
But apparently not, we just have to assume every time, they're secretly moons and not the 3 suns we know it has?

All because you assume, in your words, a bunch of disconnected facets to draw a conclusion that still ultimately boils down to "it might possibly be the case"?
The manga and anime do not always detail every visual element, especially when it is not relevant to the plot, as in this case with the number of moons or planets.
No but it sure as hell would be mentioned in the Daizenshuu or something. It is never said.
The three moons or nearby objects follow a consistent pattern in their design and behavior, similar to other moons in the series. It is logical to assume they are moons, based on how they are illustrated, their proximity to the planet, and the fact that they are never presented as suns or stars at any point, both in the manga and anime.
This is like the 20th time you've admitted to your argument being an assumption.
This is like the 20th time you've just said words and arrived at a conclusion, based solely on your other inconsistent assumptions.
All while ignoring everything that contradicts or rebukes your argument.

And the fact you literally agreed we see 3 stars next to Namek at multiple points, but are now backpedaling in the very same post you've went on record saying as much multiple times.
Furthermore, by insisting that the lack of a direct mention invalidates the visual evidence, one falls into a false dilemma fallacy, as it assumes that there is only one correct way to interpret the facts and dismisses all evidence that does not fit into their argument.
Uh, yeah goddamn right? We don't work on assumptions. We don't enforce our own headcanon. We work with the facts we have. We do not do vast amounts of mental gymnastics, using disconnected scans and examples that contradict your very argument and claims anyway, to arrive at a different assumption.

This isn't how this works, calling shit a fallacy doesn't make you right. It's just obnoxious especially when I don't even have to accuse you doing nothing but assuming and going solely off your own personal, subjective, interpretation, because you've already admitted to it.

And ironically, all you've done is dismiss things that don't fit into your self-admitted presumptions. This is beyond hypocritical.
The lack of a direct mention does not dismiss the visual evidence and the consistency in the portrayal of these objects, making this interpretation reasonable and not just "cherry-picking" drawings.
Oh so you admit it's just your interpretation, welp now I don't gotta feel bad for calling a duck a duck 🗿
But bluhbluh 50th time, your very visual evidence doesn't even work with you, if anything you've been showing planets and stars and moons in space shots get drawn a certain way pretty universally or at the very least drawn differently with enough difference to tell them distinctly apart.

And no you are indeed cherry picking.

Panel 1? We see a blatantly drawn planet. And white objects. Are those moons? No why would they be? The panel already gives ample detail to a planetary object, if they were intended to be moons, why not give them the same? Is it because they're close? Well it can't be that because one of the white spheres is on the other side of the panel not even close to the planet.

Panel 2? Are those white objects moons? No why the hell would they be? There isn't even a planet around for them to be orbiting, they're just in the middle of a starry backdrop, so why assume they're anything but just closer stars?

Panel 3? We literally see two planets/moons drawn, so why would the things you're claiming to be the same things not be drawn in the same way? It makes no sense.

Panel 4? More of the alleged moon-type objects, yet no planet in sight for them to be orbiting.

Panel 5? Just two randomly larger ones in the corner, no planet near by for either on either end of the panel. To make it worse, it's seconds before panel 2, yet no distinct moons/planet in either, only white spheres.

These are just panels directly connected to YOUR examples mind you, I could grab more.
The consistent pattern of representing the objects near Namek as white circles and their behavior similar to that of moons makes it reasonable to assume that they indeed are moons.
Ok so now you AGREE it's consistent come a certain point, yet previously were saying the opposite?

Also that word again, "assume".
Additionally, we have confirmation from the anime, which should be considered valid since there is an unwritten rule that allows the use of anime material to clarify vague aspects from the manga.
We literally don't do that it's considered its own canon here. And goddamn right it is, otherwise **** it, let's upgrade the manga Namek explosion to be like 4-B or something because the anime clarified the scope of it ig, or let's ignore the very explicit lore and, ironically, visuals, for the world of the kai's because the anime made them moons, went oops we ****** up, and just ran with it too.

And no it isn't vague, it's pretty straightforward you've just established a whole disconnected line of reasoning based on numerous assumptions and interpretations to arrive at a "possibly", and are treating that as a solid rebuttal.
While some images may show these objects as suns, this does not invalidate the interpretation that they are moons, as the context and their visual representation in other scenes align them with the characteristics of moons, not suns.
Ok so now you agree they're being shown as suns?
No it very much does invalidate it, if we know Namek has 3 suns, and every time that lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn around 3 sun like objects you just conceded to being exactly that, it means exactly that, your interpretation gets thrown out the window.

But really, show me one instance post 3 sun drop, where they're depicted as anything different. If you can't, even the mere argument of "retcon" is sufficient. I'm not here to humor presumptions. Especially not when you've literally gave an argument yourself that would make moons not effect the 3 sun panels anyway.
Both the anime and manga do not always explain every visual detail, but this does not imply the absence of objective evidence supporting this interpretation.

Interpretation again, and lad, we have guides. Ignoring the fact the manga actually does explain stuff like that.

Your objective evidence is assumptions, you've said so yourself. Assumptions aren't objective. That isn't what that word entails.

And sick of saying it, but your alleged evidence if anything supports the opposite.
Therefore, while some details may be debatable, the most consistent interpretation with what is shown in the series is that these objects are moons.
Only if you ignore the numerous times moons aren't depicted as that.
Ignore the actual facts and info we have.
Just assume random white spheres in space shots are moons even when we see other moons and planets on panel showing us that they aren't the same thing.
Assume they're moons when there's not even a planet in sight.
Make actual excuses for all the blatant contradictions in your own scans (yeah moons really moved orbits in a few seconds).
i could go on, it's baffling. Like

Freeza planet, one of your main examples
NhIqt7y.png


You're legitimately arguing those white spheres moons? Why? We can SEE the moons it has, they're drawn completely differently, same way as the planet even. If those white spheres were meant to be moons, they'd be given the gradient that rockey celestial objects in that same panel are given. And given your focus on light sources and cascading shadows.... The location and angles of the big white spheres, coincide with the lit up parts of the planets surface, and the dark part lacks any of them at that angle. So ya know what? Based on your own types of arguments, those white objects would be stars, as they're drawn distinct from what we know to be a moon and even the shading is consistent with it. But apparently, they're moons too, actual consistent be damned, surely stars can't be drawn closer, especially if we're talking about that solar system's actual sun.

Do you not see why your alleged evidence doesn't even make sense within itself?

Yeah no this ain't funny. Stop wasting my time.
The problem with that argument is that Occam's Razor is not being applied correctly here. Occam's Razor suggests that, among multiple explanations, the simplest one with the fewest assumptions is the most likely. But assuming that any celestial body around Namek is automatically a sun is precisely an unnecessary assumption.
Your entire argument is self admitted assumptions layered on top of more.
The counterargument is not based on "vibes," but on concrete observations.
You literally admit it's all just your interpretation and assumptions. It's quite literally "vibes".
It's not denying that Namek has three suns, but questioning the identification of certain celestial bodies as such. Assuming that the objects around Namek must be suns without considering other possibilities is, in fact, an incorrect application of Occam's Razor.
Who the hell says we need Occam's Razor? That only applies in lack of concrete info. If we DIDNT know Namek had 3 suns orbiting it making it always day, you'd be right, we wouldn't be saying that, but in that same vain, this would never have been a topic to begin with.

Actual proof. I'm not doing this shit with you again. I don't want your opinion, cherry picking, double standards, or dismissing of blatant contradictions in your own evidence. I want actual, not debatable proof within the manga canon, or at least a manga guide.

I ALSO want to point out that due to how Namek's cycle works, we should ALWAYS see one of its suns behind it too, so it's not like they should be off screen no? The back has to be lit up too. And the arguments presented here would still enable scaling the blasts and shit off the stars, especially if "oh the explosions/light just eclipsed the planet a billion times over and despite still following the planet's curvature, is actually a million times bigger than it".

Also, again, Namek having moons/planets, doesn't change that we see 3 suns by it either, nor does it mean that the existence of any directly correlates to 3 of them even if true, something you yourself have proven in the worst case scenario.

What? No. Only ONE has to be shown in front. At minimum. Two can be in front just fine. It's only a problem if all three are shown in front because then the back would be dark.

One in front is just the minimum. Two could also be in front of it and one is behind it. We don't know, so we don't assume, we just know for a fact one must be.

So we see a sun at different parts of the planet?

And?

Unless all three are shown simultaneously in the sky, Nothing changes, and more of this interpretative drawing shit.

I'm not ASKING you. You post english scans for people to read, or stop posting.

I have to take you word for it, I'm not going to take your word for it.
Post english, or stop posting on the english forum in a debate with english speaking people. Your lack of actually complying has been relevant at least twice, where the actual stated dialogue contradicts or rebukes the argument you have been making.

Not sufficient. And I'm not taking your word for anything either. You're forcing me to waste my time to look shit up when you should be posting them to begin with.
Your context is heavily opinionated, you've actively proven that time and time again.

You can't include information that doesn't even exist. Freeza planet for example ha sno such lore, actually it does, it's part of a duel planet system. Which, actually doesn't support your claim at all.

What the hell are you talking about? It's LITERALLY every time.
7ox5Cfg.png


That isn't true, at no point do they say anything about moons in the majority of the scans.

Why would they ever anyway? That don't say "oh this random no-named planet we just flew by has these specific moons", they don't even say anything about Freeza planet.

Confirmation and your personal opinion, are not the same thing.

Except half the time they aren't even oddly placed around the planets, a chunk of them are just off in the expanse.

Occam's Razor would tell you the blatantly and differently drawn white sphere objects would be stars, not planets and moons, when said panels also show planets and moons drawn completely differently.

Your opinion, because this is all this is, is not fact. I do not want your opinion, I want actual proof. If your entire argument hinges on "i THINK this is", that isn't good enough.

To bad? You don't think? Isn't good enough, and that's all your arguments have been, simply what you think, not what is actually proven.

It's a real, existing, place, shit needs to be drawn remotely to scale. Not literally hundreds of times off.

Jupiter is Jupiter.

Ok then where's Jupiter's other dozens of moons? Jupiter doesn't have just 4 moons, it has almost a hundred. Are you going to say only specifically 4 where drawn off scale just because?

And again, this isn't an argument, you're presuming. This isn't fact, you're legit just saying "They're moons. They're moons because art is bad". Even though it's just as likely they're some stars in the background, given they're drawn like stars, and if it was Jupiter's moons, the scale is hilariously wrong, let alone the positioning, and the only argument you have to warrant that, falls flat when you remember Jupiter has so many moons that you'd legit then be arguing only a FEW of the moons were drawn off to scale while the others weren't making your very own reasoning inconsistent within itself.


7ox5Cfg.png

Get used to this scan.
They literally are. The only reason you're saying they aren't is because you're saying they're moons, and because they're moons they can't be stars. Based on the fact, they're moons? No, what the hell? You're just saying words, and then concluding it's the case so it can't be the other thing.

This is a bad argument. The simplest assumption would be they're stars because that's what stars even on those very panels look like, and sometimes even the preceding page like the above one.

No, the simplest assumption isn't the most plausible, that's a fallacious argument in and of itself. Something can be simple, and be completely wrong once you actually look over the context and details, notwithstanding your arguments have been mostly interpretation, assumptions, and cherry picking combined.

Especially if they've already been illustrated that way? The same applies to suns and stars, so by your own logic they're stars. Your argument hinges on a double standard that only exists because you're presuming them to be something and then concluding your verdict without any real proof.

And orbiting around planets? Who's to say they're even orbiting them? That's ONLY the case with Namek because we know how it's day-night cycle works so we know one must be in the foreground at minimum. This isn't the case for other stuff. A white sphere being drawn next to a random planet in space, or in some cases not even near it, there's often quite a gap, doesn't mean it's in front of next to it. They could be billions of miles back for all we know. You're making extra assumptions.

Literally EVERY example you've given shows at least some. And if you look over the manga, you'd see a bunch more too. Do I really need to go grab every time?

An assumption? That ain't a solid argument.
Reasonable and actually being the case are not the same thing. It isn't reasonable because for it to be reasonable you have to completely ignore that

1. Suns and stars are also drawn that way, often in the same panel.

2. Moons and planets wouldn't even be visible in 99% of the shots given the relative fly-by distance to planets in said examples.

3. Planets and moons are drawn on the same pages and they're drawn completely differently.

And being more abundant means nothing, you know what's also true? The fact you can actually see countless suns and stars in space but not other planets and moons at a distance. Being more abundant means nothing at all if we're talking about what would be more abundantly visible.

Dude, that specific object is LITERALLY given the same texture gradient as EARTH'S SUN is, in the fight literally a few chapters prior. which you posted.

We're going to say that the object drawn that way is yeah, which is the entire premise of your own argument anyway.

There, you just confirmed it again. An ASSUMPTION. I don't want an assumption, I want proof. Your arguments are merely you assuming things, often while contradicting yourself.

And this is essentially conceding to cherry picking.

You admit moons have been drawn differently.

But because they've been rarely drawn like that, which fyi, it isn't "generally", it's pretty damn rare, made even worse as the majority of your examples you're even using aren't even moons anyway, in some they are in fact suns, or there's literally no info to go on so calling them anything is simply headcanon and assuming, ie, not an actual argument because me saying nuh uh they arent moons has just as much backing.

Lad, this entire chunk of text had you admit to you just assuming, and cherry picking examples, You don't get to "therefore". Especially because unlike your presumptuous arguments, there's actual stated lore here.

Except when they aren't. In multiple of your shots given, they're drawn like half the panel away, or even further.

In fact, in some of the shots, the tiny specks that I will trust you aren't going to say are also moons, are drawn in-between the alleged "moon" and planets. Are those actually just smaller moons too?

If everything argument hinges on "I think" and not "is", there's nothing to argue. I'm not here for conjecture.

But speaking of coincidences, ain't it odd how every time after the 3 sun lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects consistently?

You have no clue what the word objective means holy hell.

That's the thing, your entire argument is solely relying on illustrations. that's literally all you have, you just conceded that's not a good approach, you straight up stated this is a bad way of arguing.

You don't HAVE supporting evidence. You just assume that's what they are, end of, you don't have anything saying "this random thing is a moon/planet", you just go "oh yep that's a moon, and because it's drawn like a star, moons can be drawn like that".


I already said the anime wasn't gonna fly, because we're talking about the manga. That's, also not good?
Fg41XDf.png


The two darkened objects, coincide with the anime's moons there? the big white objects? Do not. You're rebuking your own point.

I also said I'd be against using this for the anime, so yep. The anime lacks any of the sun shots too making it worse for them.

And yeah, the anime, which was aired while the manga was being drawn and didn't have the foresight or knowledge of how things would have been.

The anime actively cut every shot with the orbiting suns in it, isn't it odd? How every shot after the manga drops the sun lore, where we see what is evidently suns, the anime, which had already locked in, simply opts not to show those scenes?

It's almost like


this wouldn't be the last time either the anime incorrectly surmised what a celestial object is meant to be (those are very explicitly suns in the manga canon, flatout stated in multiple guides even).

Except EVERYTIME after the sun lore gets dropped, Namek is shown with 3 detailess objects near it. You're effectively agreeing they're drawn how they "should" be.

That isn't even true.


Here's a space shot. From that saga.

See this? Nothing but white objects, a starry sky. But there's a few white objects drawn at different scales too, some decently big.

Are these moons too? Your argument just above was "they're drawn "close" to planets so they're moons", but there's no planets in this panel? Are they just moons off in the middle of space for the hell of it then? Pretty huge stretch in logic don't you think? That a panel that is literally just stars, at varying sizes, just so happens to have the funny white dots too, yet no real planet in sight for them to even be orbiting to be reasonably called moons?

Majin Buu Saga actually goes wild because Kai's World has suns out the ass drawn exactly like that.

Which is my point, if you LITERALLY see planets and moons on the same pages, and they're drawn not like that, why the hell are you assuming they're moons or planets? If they were moons or planets they'd be drawn like the moons and planets we already see.

You actually do to an extent, and you most certainly would in deep space travel across a galaxy, at some point you're going to nearing or passing by other solar systems so some stars would look much closer.

Given this ENTIRE topic is about a solar system with three suns anyway at worst, this argument doesn't even make sense.

Except that again, isn't even true, the "white distant points" in and of themselves are variable sizes to denote scale and depth.

Here, that panel from that same saga. Notice how the very blatantly stars, only stars btw we don't see anything resembling a planet or moon, so you can't pull the "well they're drawn "close" to a planet so they must be moons", are drawn in varying sizes, from tiny, to medium, to decently big too? Same scale as the Namekian shots even, or even some of your own examples?

You can't say these are just moons, you also can't even cop out an argument saying they're just detailess planets because at that point you're just throwing shit and seeing what sticks as me and you both know damn well if they were meant to be planets they'd be drawn as such, like here.

So no, don't follow the same pattern, you've just been cherry picking panels, and concluding they're moons, even though in the very same panels, it isn't even consistent with how the non-star like celestial objects get drawn.

You're cherry picking what is already inconsistent evidence.

And there's that word again "the assumption", I don't want an assumption. I want proof. Especially not proof that has been you foregoing panels that prove this line of thought bunk like the multiple other space shots you haven't included from that same saga where we see those exact same type of white dots, among stars, and only stars, with no planet to orbit in sight.

And proximity?
7WktKZC.png


Take the Jupiter example. Why is one of the farther away larger dots the EXACT same size, as one of the objects you've been calling a moon? Or that triple set between them?

Is that a moon too? It's the same scale as that close one? But why would it be a moon, Jupiter doesn't have any moons triple its distance that are even perceptible? So why the inconsistency? Why the contradiction? If we can be sure that far away one is just a star in the background, why is the object the same size as it up close to it, also not just a star but actually an impossibly big moon that Jupiter doesn't even actually have? As opposed to just being a star in the background that's drawn at a different scale as literally every panel with stars in the manga in space shots do, because let's not forget, the stars in a backdrop are never drawn identically in size between all of them, they're always drawn at different sizes to convey varying distances.

There's more like that, some are even worse where the alleged would-be moon is on the other side of the panel even.

"the assumption", and there it is again.
Why am I even arguing with you ffs you've literally just confirmed like 5 times you're assuming stuff.

As above, the simplest is "usually" the correct one, only works when there isn't extra info to go on, which we have in this case, as Namek's lore is explicit with its 3 suns, and thus when after every point we get a space shot we see 3 sun-like objects near it, every time, that conflicts with Occam's Razor as there's other info that no longer makes things just throwing shit at the wall.

That is not withstanding your assumption here, is based on two more layers of assumptions, which you in this very post conceded to being assumptions, as opposed to based on solid fact.

That logic is actively why this argument is bad. If you consider how all the other objects in the panel are illustrated, then they're blatantly not planets or moons because we see other physical celestial objects on said panels, and they're drawn completely differently. But the stars? About the same, just at varying scales. And do we know Toriyama draws stars like that, even among starry skies?
8dv0TD8.png


Yep we do (I would grab more but I'm not reading the whole ass manga to grab more scans of the obvious).

If your entire argument is solely based on assumptions and GUESSING stuff and presuming what shit is, that isn't an argument.

What the hell, you just disagreed with yourself. "If moons and planets get drawn with details, then white dots are moons".

What am I even arguing at this point, it doesn't even make sense. And hey look, there it is again, "assumption".

????
You're literally arguing against yourself. You just gave perfect reasoning as to why NOT to assume they're moons, only to go "but they're moons tho".

You're arguing that if an object is close to be drawn with detail on the same panel, they would NOT be treated with little to no detail like stars.
You say because in the SAME PANEL they show it's not the case with other moons and stars.
Ergo, we assume they're moons and not stars?

What? If they're close enough to be seen, drawn large enough, and are meant to be moons, and the same panel shows planets and moons elsewhere with detail, they'd also be given detail to coincide with the others to make it clear they're also moons or whatever. If they aren't, then they aren't and are just stars like the rest of the dozens drawn on the same panel?

This argument legitimately makes no sense wtf.

"Hey btw, Namek has specifically 3 suns, just 3 btw, oh btw every time after this we're gonna draw 3 objects around Namek in this exact configuration but exactly like stars".
Is pretty straightforward, I wouldn't even call it an assumption. It's simply going off the very explicit hard stated info we have, as opposed to Namek also having 3 celestial objects around it that aren't suns too which is never stated.

Based on how they're illustrated, yet you ignore how they're illustrated every time after the fact? You're trying to have your cake and eat it too, you very own arguments can be used against it.

The most consistent interpretation? Namek is actually shown with the 3-sun like objects more if we're talking consistency. As said, it is every time after the lore gets dropped. Contrary to 3. Yes 3 I counted, in the early chapters before the sun revelation was revealed. From that point on, never again.

And given your logic here is based on literally 4-5 layers of assumptions, which also have major flaws in them, I'm not so sure I'd call this reasonable let alone CRT worthy. I don't even want to get into the "moons at other parts of the manga", as that is still your assuming stuff and often aren't even correct in said assumption regardless, and is a minority.

How are we foregoing the like 8 times Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects without any merit of detail because that matters apparently.

I'm convinced you don't even know what the argument is at this point.

What the ****? Literally everything you've said this post has been STRICTLY THAT, it isn't me arguing that, it's you. If you think that's a bad argument, then that saves me the time of saying it because you've just called your entire premise bad.

No lad, we have explicit stated info, namek has 3 suns, thus, an eternal day.
Every time after, Namek is shown with 3 sun-like objects orbiting it.
You yourself had conceded on the fact that some panels almost certainly show 3 suns around it just "a bit further out", which, still proves the CRT's proposal correct.

But because moons, rarely, can be drawn like suns/stars get drawn, they're moons. This is ignoring the relevant lore, even potential retcons as DBZ ain't no stranger to that, especially mid-writing, based solely on, what you, yourself, have confirmed to be assumptions on top of assumptions, based on panels that aren't even consistent with your own arguments? Nah man that shit is on you.

What? Literally never once was any object by Namek drawn like a moon after the sun lore is mentioned. This isn't up for debate, it never happens.

Unless you mean "no detail, sun-like white spheres" to be "moons", but you already admitted to just making numerous assumptions to come to that line of thought based on panels that contradict you even. All while ignoring that suns are also drawn the way you claim moons to be for some reason, making your entire argument, hinged on assumptions, headcanon and cherry picking, to be at best just a "maybe".

You mean most. And least of all, none in your examples, which is the worst part. You aren't even giving the scans that do exist that corroborate your point, but are instead giving panels that contradict your point, and saying these specific shots are what support you. It legit makes no sense and makes it evident this argument is less an argument, and more just grasping at straws.

And fifth time now, everytime after the fact we're told Namek has 3 suns, that we see 3 sun-like objects by it, is not "Namek's suns are pretty consistently drawn like moons", but the exact opposite, they're consistently not drawn like that, never drawn like that even after a certain point, are consistently drawn the way stars get drawn, and to make matters worse? Given you want to keep arguing Namek has 3 moons specifically, it can still have 3 moons alongside the 3 suns we get shown, ESPECIALLY because you yourself has argued that Namek does have 3 suns, they're just a bit further out and even drew lines to the things.

Holy hell there it is again, "assumption".

And no that's all you've been doing, in almost every example you've given, it's been calling objects without detail moons. Even WHEN they're drawn large enough to be given ample detail.

No they aren't, it literally never happens.
Every single time, they're drawn as blank spheres.

To say "they're still depicted as moons", is objectively false, and I know you know that, because you've even sent panels you've conceeded on being stars. It never happens, why you're saying it happens, I'd call even straight up lying, unless I'm just forgetting a scan, but I've skimmed that shit like 4 times now, not once can I recall does it happen.

The full context of the illustrations? The ONLY context we have is Namek has 3 suns and thus an eternal day.
Meanwhile every piece of evidence you've given has been prefaced with "assumption", as opposed to "based on what we actually know". And the other scans, is just you asserting they must be moons, despite the blatant contradictions in those very same scans.


The anime? What? The anime literally never draws them like that, ever. And in the case of Namek, they outright removed any of the post sun lore sun scenes, probably to avoid contradictions if anything with what they already went with or to avoid confusion.

And manga? You're cherry picking, end of. You're ignoring the majority of how they're illustrated, using scans you don't even know for a fact what they are, and then just claiming they're moons.

The preconceived notion is the very fact you're assuming things to be moons to begin with despite the contrary evidence in those very same scans. And your reasoning doesn't even work for why either. Bigger white spheres? We see stars get drawn in different sizes all the time in starry sky backdrops in the manga. Near planets? That isn't even true half the time and can just as easily be stars in the background just closer. They drawn like planets/moons? Wrong again, half the time we see moons/planets on that same panel drawn and they're drawn demonstrably different, even when the moon/planet is SMALLER than the white object, making the size to draw excuse not applicable. I could go on, I don't have to though because you've said yourself at every point you're just making an assumption.

The anime actually implicates they're whole-ass planets.
But, again, umpteenth time, they aren't in the manga.

In much the same way the Planet of the Kai's has moons in the anime, in the manga they're explicitly stars.
The anime locking in because it was being done as the manga was and often overtook the manga and thus filler, is not a good indication if the sun shit came in half way through the saga.

I said before, long before you showed up, I'd be against the anime Namek being treated like this. This isn't new info, it's conflating canons.

8dv0TD8.png


Why even say things you know aren't true. Hell this is ONE page before one of your own examples, I KNOW you know of this shot, and there's a bunch more like it too.

Stop cherry picking, and stop trying to say things as if we haven't read the manga.

Like in this shot, where's the planets? Why's that one drawn next to stars anyway? Are you going to still call them moons? Or maybe you're going to call them planets now? Just planets drawn without any semblance of detail despite them being drawn large enough to easily be given some?

And yet, never again after the sun information is dropped.

The anime is not the manga.

Hell whatever happened to not using the anime anyway? So much for that, I'll keep that in mind. Fortunately the existence of the Land of the Kai's makes using the anime for this type of argument very, very, dubious. In fact the anime removing all the panels in which the 3 star-like objects are blatantly shown, is suspicious in and of itself. Why, do you think they removed them? If they were meant to be planets at that point, why not keep them in and just draw them as planets now? They didn't.

And you keep saying they resemble stars in shape (no shit), but left out how they're drawn like them too, consistently after a certain point, based on evidence from the anime or before that info is revealed? And the only context we have is literally the sun lore, your assumptions aren't context.

Dude, when I could legitimately just say "lmao retcon" and it wouldn't even be wrong, there's an issue with your evidence's placement. You need evidence post sun lore.

But the worst part is? This doesn't disprove the sun thing, Namek can have moons yet still have stars, which, funnily enough, just your prior post you argued "those 3 objects weren't suns, THESE the suns" in a panel where they're drawn a tad further away.... While still showing Namek eclipsing them in size? So what's even the argument? You've proven that no matter the case, even if Namek just so happens to have 3 planets up its ass, it still has 3 suns it can be scaled off?

That has absolutely nothing to do with my argument.

My argument was that the thing you're calling a moon CAN'T be the planetary looking body seen from the ground shot based on a slew of reasons.

"it looks like-", except that doesn't rebuke or even comment on the fact that object isn't the big white object shown the next page you're claiming to be the same thing.

No it doesn't?

Did you really just ignore all the issues I just outlined to go "well uh, no"?

Positioning is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
The size is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
It's very position and size, relative to the OTHER object we see, is impossible and contradicts the prior panel.
Etc.

It isn't the same object, it can't be. Nothing lines up, and it is the SAME spread, do you really think Toriyama messed up that badly when he would have just finished drawing it and even looking at it still?

Moons don't change position that quickly. And no, they didn't "change position", that panel prior was them as they were about to leave,
Kc1fGM7.png


Btw, this is what I mean by posting english scans, and then saying "nuh uh ya dont need to read them". Shit like this ain't slick dude, the moons wouldn't change positions in a whole 30 seconds. Unless those moons were orbiting at relativistic speeds, they wouldn't have changed like a whole day's worth, at a super messed up position too, it'd need to be like an asynchronous orbit, but why?

Except that isn't even true, the objects literally get mirrored, why? If they're orbiting it, in what situation would one be orbiting it so much quicker to completely overtake the other for that to occur? If what you're saying is true, and what we see is them directly parallel, then the masses wouldn't be that different, and neither the distances, so the orbital speed shouldn't be that drastically different?

It can't be due to the angle they left at, if it was, it wouldn't be mirrored, but upside down too. It just doesn't work.

But you've been arguing LoD is relative to distance though right? That implicates the planetary one is much closer despite being within pixels of the same size as the dark one, no?

Not how this works, if there's blatant contradictions, you don't get to go "uhm just ignore it lmao".

Especially given 90% of your examples is, in your own words, you simply assuming it to begin with.

No, I'm actually sick of this. Stop saying that's how they're consistently drawn, it's the minority, and all your examples are you presuming it at that, most of which shouldn't even be presumed to begin with because it's evident they aren't moons but just stars drawn in space.

All while ignoring what little scans do actually exist for this which makes it even more baffling.

Dude, spatial positioning is NOT the same as omitting details because things are far back and thus to small to properly draw on a sheet of paper.

If you drew a hyper detail skyscraper next to a house, and then in a different shot, even right after, you draw the skyscraper as just a rectangle and the house as a lil square. That's one thing, but you don't **** up the placements of them and have them be completely different from a second prior.

Dog they do not change positions in the time it takes Vegeta to stand up, say they're leaving, and then leave. Which everyone would know if you posted the english scans, that scene starts off midconvo, there's no time skip, jump, whatever, the moons did not change orbit and positions, sizes and placements within a 30 second back and forth.


Backpedaling, but let it be known you are agreeing those are the suns (which is ****** up because they're literally drawn the same way....).

The flash of light that is planet shaped? Coming from the planet? Are you legitimately arguing now that that said flash is millions of times bigger than Namek itself? Yet somehow STILL confirming to the planet's shape and gravity? There is no way 🗿

And this again goes back to your cherry picking. You used the anime right? Yet why are you ignoring that flash of light in the anime was only that?


Like yep, that's definitely millions of times bigger than the planet itself. Mind you even at max expansion, it's width doesn't extend beyond this. Why are you cherry picking?

This is backpedaling. You conceded those were suns, agree they're suns, but making up new excuses as to why it don't count (which is odd even given if we were to calc it, the end result wouldn't even change as the point of reference for the calcs would be the suns, not Namek itself).

Literally EVERY thing you've said this post, you've prefaced with "assume" or "assumption". I don't even have to say it, you've said it yourself.

90% of your own scans contradict you.
The anime is you cherry picking too, as established above.

All while ignoring every instance that doesn't align with your assumptions.

This isn't solid proof, it's just going off assumptions, that probably aren't true in most cases, and using that as hard evidence.

We love World of the Kai's.
We also love ignoring the various things the anime did in regards to Namek contradictory to the Namek, like removing the shots of the blatant suns post lore, which in itself is suspicious.
Or even just ignoring stuff like the above where the flash of light is literally just as big as Namek. Why is it ok to use the anime that blatantly veers off at times, but ignore it when it it shots you in the foot because you already admitted that they were stars so now you need to make an excuse for why Namek can't be scaled off it?

So no solid proof, and visual evidence based solely on your interpretation and assumptions.

You realize I could just go "nuh uh those stars" and it would have the exact same weight to it as your claims right? An Assumption isn't proof. Your opinion isn't proof. And when it isn't even consistent within itself and your own evidence, it most certainly isn't a rebuttal.

You say this, yet ignore the fact suns are also drawn like that. Other scenes? Lad in the same panels they're drawn the same way as stars, yet different from the planets and moons shown on said panel too.

If your whole argument hinges on visual illustrations, you've failed in that because you've proven stars and suns are almost universally drawn that way too, and ignoring how planets and moons are more often than not, not drawn like that.

For someone who argued "Toriyma just frugot" or "he just messed up positioning a bit", to argue that suddenly here it's different is pretty damn suspicious.

All while foregoing that your own scans, scans you admit to be stars so argument is over everyone, go home, were part of the "every time after" list of scans, and not some new meaningful info, STILL show Namek at an astronomical size and hell, would even still enable those blasts to be calced relative to the suns, just don't count because "oh nah the curvature we blatantly see? not namek, actually a million times bigger than namek tbh". And then conveniently ignore the anime, something you're now using as a crux despite it's blatant contradictions, shows that VERY scene, that flash of light, among other things, as not as large as you're assuming (again, assumption) to be?

No. there's no way this is an actual argument, and the worst part is, you're actively sabotaging any hard argument against Namek being that big, because if Namek just so happens to have 3 conveniently placed moons, but also 3 suns just a tad further out, you've just argued that it has a set of both, while arguing the moons that you claim to be there are not the blank white objects we also see at times, and thus both co-exist, and the "moons" don't conflict with the suns as they exist separately yet still at a scale Namek can be scaled off.

I legit don't get this, why even argue, you obviously don't want Namek to be that large, yet by just throwing out shit and seeing what sticks, you've given multiple examples and even explanations, unintentionally, that rebuke the opposing arguments ffs.

Early on, untill it isn't, buy not that that matters at all, I'm not repeating the same argument you've failed to even comment on like 5 times.

And other times but let's ignore those too 🗿

Lad, they are literally closer to it than some of your own examples where you say that a random white sphere in the void of space is a moon because it's "by" a planet.

And "suggesting", so not fact, but a presumption...
But even if we go with this presumption, it simultaneously proves the CRT and yet voids any of the moon arguments as above 🗿
This is not the flawless argument you think it is.

Oh so NOW that's how suns are depicted, now, ONLY now. Not the other Namek shots, not the numerous space shots, but simply here? No difference, just conveniently now?

I *******, I can't dudes, set me free.

Not going to say again how arguing they're suns is actually a good thing, and was part of the CRT's proposal anyway for those specific scans to be suns, among others, so really this is just agreeing with the CRT but **** me ig, I hate this argument. It's literally just you picking when shit is what to suit your point.

"These white spheres have detai-", no? If they're shown as white spheres they aren't being shown with detail. Kind of blatant paradoxical statement there.

Or do you mean early on? Namek having a moon doesn't contradict the 3 suns we see orbiting it, especially post 3 sun yap.

I mean, they're the same shit, you're just separating them and treating them as different things.


We have no idea how shit even works in Daima. Also, doesn't Daima LITERALLY have a planet so massive it has suns in it?

But sure, you concede your argument isn't at all based on

Scientific accuracy, and common sense, are very closely tied. It's common sense for [thing that is literally just how it works], my dude.

And if you're legitimately using Daima, you're digging yourself an even deeper hole.

What? Pretty sure Mercury being balls hot is common knowledge.
And lad, your very own scaling would constitute as "orbiting right next to you", twice as close as it is to Mercury, is very much right up a planet's ass. 7m km which you also gave, it just a few suns width away.

And ya know what's worse? If Namek WASN'T as big as being argued, the suns at that distance would eclipse most of the sky at all times because there'd be nowhere on the planet that's enough distance away from them for them to look only relatively big, as opposed to just the whole sky is a sun.

And that proves the CRT? They're all super close to Namek in said panels?

That's literally what it means, one of them must be next to or in front of it. If that's the case, Namek can be scaled off at least one of them. We'd pick the smallest to be safe.

The only way it wouldn't be the case, is if we didn't have the lore explaining the 3 suns and why Namek is always day. If we did not have that, we would just go they're random suns a billion miles away or some shit.

That isn't how this works. If Namek and one sun was shown. We can't say Namek is next to it or behind it. If two were shown, same thing. If all 3 were shown? We can because we have to because one must be in front or next to it.

If Namek is shown simultaneously with its suns, scaling becomes possible. Whether Namek is bigger, smaller, or just as big, doesn't matter. This doesn't change the fact Namek can be scaled, and if it just so happens to end up bigger, so be it.

Your entireargument is self admitted assumptions and other slop like inconsistencies in the same panels and yadda yadda, you get it, I get it, everyone gets it. Same shit.

We literally see it, including in the very panels you're now locked in arguing ARE in fact suns, but just to far away to matter.

Ignoring basic science is not common sense.

And what? We have no idea how big the Demon World is? In fact, what are you talking about? That's a normal sized sun in the Demon Realm? They never say it's small, you're making an assumption, again, that is never backed or sourced in literally anything, that doesn't even make sense in the cntext of the demon world anyway.

In fact the third demon world is the biggest one, literally encompassing the second demon world, which is filled with planets, of which some are even normal or larger in size. Yet you're arguing it's a tiny sun that is lighting up the world that eclipses countless planets?

How could a tiny sun that light up and give a functional day-night cycle to a world that is probably, at minimum, already bigger than most average stars simply based on the second demon world? Hell we even got statements how it would take days to cross it in high-tech ships, or how thousands of km, actual planetary distances, are but miniscule fractions of it?

So no, in fact if you want to use Daima, the exact opposite is proven true.


No dude, they're suns, literally drawn with
2vjCqL0.png


One of a bunch of blatant art dictating as such.

And from Daizenshuu
"Kaioshin Planet
Area: Afterlife
Special Characteristics: The planet that the kaioshin live on. It’s distinguished as a place with a pink sky and numerous suns. It is a very sturdy planet, and cannot be damaged easily. However, it suffered damage during the battle between Goku and Majin Buu (pure).
Battles: Son Goku vs. Majin Buu (pure)

Events: Kaioshin brought Gohan here in order to draw out the Z Sword. Also, after having his seal broken, the Elder Kaioshin powered up Gohan. Furthermore, it became the site of the final battle with Majin Buu. (Daizenshuu 4, p.73)"

I like how you just made an arbitrary assumption. Why mortal? We already know super huge planets exist?

I'm gonna re-enact the end of MGS4 ong.
"Assumption". Assumption isn't fact.

A big planet could be larger than a solar system, we don't know, there's nothing to go on beyond the fact we know planets can be so astronomically huge that the proposed Namek's size looks pathetic in comparison.

You don't get to go "oh well we have no idea how big a top end large one is, so surely they're smaller", we don't know. It isn't an argument both for and against. It's a literal nothing line.

Yeah with planets like Namek which have 3 suns and an eternal day which is literally not possible irl no matter how big it is 🗿

You are really locking in a statement about planets when a not even average planet in DBZ is multiple times earth, earth is considered pathetically small, and super ultra planets exist just fine constantly?

Because you ASSUME the details of a vague statement?

What? He's just talking about in reference to the villages? It's a one off line that's before the sun lore btw, where he's just like "damn this is a pain in the ass, oh well it could be worse".

The intent of the line is to show annoyance but acknowledge it isn't impossible.

Don't even start with the movement speed shit. Namek could be literally be star sized, and at the speed they're at, at said point, wouldn't make it unfeasible, it'd be a pain, but not impossible to travel a super planet, it'd just take some hours, which, is perfectly fine? It was already taking them awhile. When if Namek was earth sized, it shouldn't have taken Krillin two hours to go to a place that isn't even in the other side of the planet tbh.

Dodoria for example is explicitly faster than them at that point in movement, Krillin and Gohan even say as much and have to resort to Solar Flare because they were gonna get caught and killed otherwise, and Dodoria would have vastly exceeded Goku's flight speed at that point which thinking on it, why isn't that even calced? We see what Snake Way looks like, we can account for the curves he skipped just fine by drawing it out? Freeza and Zarbon, would be even quicker.

And no, them covering Earth doesn't really take long at all? At that point in the story, there was never a point where flying around earth to find dragon balls took any semblance of time at all, or flying around earth at all, assuming they weren't holding back or conserving energy.

Dude, your visual consistency is literally just your interpretation in and of itself.

Objective, is not "assumptions", which you have stated to be as such every argument.Ad again, your examples aren't even consistent within themselves. And you've conveniently, deliberately or not, excluded a bunch of space shots in said arc that displays said inconsistencies too.

Except when they aren't. Except when half your examples aren't even moons to begin with and ARE actually stars.

Sometimes they're not orbiting a planet too, sometimes they're super far away from the planet like half way across the panel too. You're cherry picking, and not even doing that good a job at it.

Except they don't. This is legit just wrong.

They don't show details, we see 3 blank white objects around Namek multiple times after the 3 sun yap gets dropped. They aren't given details, the fact they lack details is part of the problem in your incessant statements. And your rebuttal to that is simply "they're actually moons anyway".

There that word is again, "assume". Not fact, not anything, just more assumptions based solely on your, at this point, 8 layers of assumptions.

Because "they're illustrated a specific way", which is ****** up as you have multiple times in this very post, went back and forth saying what does and doesn't count and contradicting yourself. It's absolutely asinine.

The anime also cut every shot with the suns in question, contradicts you explicitly on your reason for why shots you DO agree with being the suns don't count, and has the problem with being aired and made alongside the manga and even overtaking it at points and thus didn't have that foresight.

Their possible existence?

I hate this I really do.

Your previous line was literally just stating it might possibly exist. Not that they do exist.

Namek, in the context of the manga, just so happens to have 3 moons.
They reveal Namek has 3 suns.
Every single shot afterward shows namek with 3, very blatantly drawn sun-like objects, as your very own scans would dictate contrary to your beliefs.
But apparently not, we just have to assume every time, they're secretly moons and not the 3 suns we know it has?

All because you assume, in your words, a bunch of disconnected facets to draw a conclusion that still ultimately boils down to "it might possibly be the case"?

No but it sure as hell would be mentioned in the Daizenshuu or something. It is never said.

This is like the 20th time you've admitted to your argument being an assumption.
This is like the 20th time you've just said words and arrived at a conclusion, based solely on your other inconsistent assumptions.
All while ignoring everything that contradicts or rebukes your argument.

And the fact you literally agreed we see 3 stars next to Namek at multiple points, but are now backpedaling in the very same post you've went on record saying as much multiple times.

Uh, yeah goddamn right? We don't work on assumptions. We don't enforce our own headcanon. We work with the facts we have. We do not do vast amounts of mental gymnastics, using disconnected scans and examples that contradict your very argument and claims anyway, to arrive at a different assumption.

This isn't how this works, calling shit a fallacy doesn't make you right. It's just obnoxious especially when I don't even have to accuse you doing nothing but assuming and going solely off your own personal, subjective, interpretation, because you've already admitted to it.

And ironically, all you've done is dismiss things that don't fit into your self-admitted presumptions. This is beyond hypocritical.

Oh so you admit it's just your interpretation, welp now I don't gotta feel bad for calling a duck a duck 🗿
But bluhbluh 50th time, your very visual evidence doesn't even work with you, if anything you've been showing planets and stars and moons in space shots get drawn a certain way pretty universally or at the very least drawn differently with enough difference to tell them distinctly apart.

And no you are indeed cherry picking.

Panel 1? We see a blatantly drawn planet. And white objects. Are those moons? No why would they be? The panel already gives ample detail to a planetary object, if they were intended to be moons, why not give them the same? Is it because they're close? Well it can't be that because one of the white spheres is on the other side of the panel not even close to the planet.

Panel 2? Are those white objects moons? No why the hell would they be? There isn't even a planet around for them to be orbiting, they're just in the middle of a starry backdrop, so why assume they're anything but just closer stars?

Panel 3? We literally see two planets/moons drawn, so why would the things you're claiming to be the same things not be drawn in the same way? It makes no sense.

Panel 4? More of the alleged moon-type objects, yet no planet in sight for them to be orbiting.

These are just panels directly connected to YOUR examples mind you, I could grab more.

Ok so now you AGREE it's consistent come a certain point, yet previously were saying the opposite?

Also that word again, "assume".

We literally don't do that it's considered its own canon here. And goddamn right it is, otherwise ** it, let's upgrade the manga Namek explosion to be like 4-B or something because the anime clarified the scope of it ig, or let's ignore the very explicit lore and, ironically, visuals, for the world of the kai's because the anime made them moons, went oops we **** up, and just ran with it too.

And no it isn't vague, it's pretty straightforward you've just established a whole disconnected line of reasoning based on numerous assumptions and interpretations to arrive at a "possibly", and are treating that as a solid rebuttal.

Ok so now you agree they're being shown as suns?
No it very much does invalidate it, if we know Namek has 3 suns, and every time that lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn around 3 sun like objects you just conceded to being exactly that, it means exactly that, your interpretation gets thrown out the window.

But really, show me one instance post 3 sun drop, where they're depicted as anything different. If you can't, even the mere argument of "retcon" is sufficient. I'm not here to humor presumptions. Especially not when you've literally gave an argument yourself that would make moons not effect the 3 sun panels anyway.


Interpretation again, and lad, we have guides. Ignoring the fact the manga actually does explain stuff like that.

Your objective evidence is assumptions, you've said so yourself. Assumptions aren't objective. That isn't what that word entails.

And sick of saying it, but your alleged evidence if anything supports the opposite.

Only if you ignore the numerous times moons aren't depicted as that.
Ignore the actual facts and info we have.
Just assume random white spheres in space shots are moons even when we see other moons and planets on panel showing us that they aren't the same thing.
Assume they're moons when there's not even a planet in sight.
Make actual excuses for all the blatant contradictions in your own scans (yeah moons really moved orbits in a few seconds).
i could go on, it's baffling. Like

Freeza planet, one of your main examples
NhIqt7y.png


You're legitimately arguing those white spheres moons? Why? We can SEE the moons it has, they're drawn completely differently, same way as the planet even. If those white spheres were meant to be moons, they'd be given the gradient that rockey celestial objects in that same panel are given. And given your focus on light sources and cascading shadows.... The location and angles of the big white spheres, coincide with the lit up parts of the planets surface, and the dark part lacks any of them at that angle. So ya know what? Based on your own types of arguments, those white objects would be stars, as they're drawn distinct from what we know to be a moon and even the shading is consistent with it. But apparently, they're moons too, actual consistent be damned, surely stars can't be drawn closer, especially if we're talking about that solar system's actual sun.

Do you not see why your alleged evidence doesn't even make sense within itself?

Yeah no this ain't funny. Stop wasting my time.

Your entire argument is self admitted assumptions layered on top of more.

You literally admit it's all just your interpretation and assumptions. It's quite literally "vibes".

Who the hell says we need Occam's Razor? That only applies in lack of concrete info. If we DIDNT know Namek had 3 suns orbiting it making it always day, you'd be right, we wouldn't be saying that, but in that same vain, this would never have been a topic to begin with.

Actual proof. I'm not doing this shit with you again. I don't want your opinion, cherry picking, double standards, or dismissing of blatant contradictions in your own evidence. I want actual, not debatable proof within the manga canon, or at least a manga guide.

I ALSO want to point out that due to how Namek's cycle works, we should ALWAYS see one of its suns behind it too, so it's not like they should be off screen no? The back has to be lit up too. And the arguments presented here would still enable scaling blasts and shit off the stars, especially if "oh the explosions/light just eclipsed the planet a billion times over and despite still following the planet's curvature, is actually a million times bigger than it".

I think this answer alone takes up 50% of the page.
 
What? No. Only ONE has to be shown in front. At minimum. Two can be in front just fine. It's only a problem if all three are shown in front because then the back would be dark.

One in front is just the minimum. Two could also be in front of it and one is behind it. We don't know, so we don't assume, we just know for a fact one must be.

So we see a sun at different parts of the planet?

And?

Unless all three are shown simultaneously in the sky, Nothing changes, and more of this interpretative drawing shit.

I'm not ASKING you. You post english scans for people to read, or stop posting.

I have to take you word for it, I'm not going to take your word for it.
Post english, or stop posting on the english forum in a debate with english speaking people. Your lack of actually complying has been relevant at least twice, where the actual stated dialogue contradicts or rebukes the argument you have been making.

Not sufficient. And I'm not taking your word for anything either. You're forcing me to waste my time to look shit up when you should be posting them to begin with.
Your context is heavily opinionated, you've actively proven that time and time again.

You can't include information that doesn't even exist. Freeza planet for example ha sno such lore, actually it does, it's part of a duel planet system. Which, actually doesn't support your claim at all.

What the hell are you talking about? It's LITERALLY every time.
7ox5Cfg.png


That isn't true, at no point do they say anything about moons in the majority of the scans.

Why would they ever anyway? That don't say "oh this random no-named planet we just flew by has these specific moons", they don't even say anything about Freeza planet.

Confirmation and your personal opinion, are not the same thing.

Except half the time they aren't even oddly placed around the planets, a chunk of them are just off in the expanse.

Occam's Razor would tell you the blatantly and differently drawn white sphere objects would be stars, not planets and moons, when said panels also show planets and moons drawn completely differently.

Your opinion, because this is all this is, is not fact. I do not want your opinion, I want actual proof. If your entire argument hinges on "i THINK this is", that isn't good enough.

To bad? You don't think? Isn't good enough, and that's all your arguments have been, simply what you think, not what is actually proven.

It's a real, existing, place, shit needs to be drawn remotely to scale. Not literally hundreds of times off.

Jupiter is Jupiter.

Ok then where's Jupiter's other dozens of moons? Jupiter doesn't have just 4 moons, it has almost a hundred. Are you going to say only specifically 4 where drawn off scale just because?

And again, this isn't an argument, you're presuming. This isn't fact, you're legit just saying "They're moons. They're moons because art is bad". Even though it's just as likely they're some stars in the background, given they're drawn like stars, and if it was Jupiter's moons, the scale is hilariously wrong, let alone the positioning, and the only argument you have to warrant that, falls flat when you remember Jupiter has so many moons that you'd legit then be arguing only a FEW of the moons were drawn off to scale while the others weren't making your very own reasoning inconsistent within itself.


7ox5Cfg.png

Get used to this scan.
They literally are. The only reason you're saying they aren't is because you're saying they're moons, and because they're moons they can't be stars. Based on the fact, they're moons? No, what the hell? You're just saying words, and then concluding it's the case so it can't be the other thing.

This is a bad argument. The simplest assumption would be they're stars because that's what stars even on those very panels look like, and sometimes even the preceding page like the above one.

No, the simplest assumption isn't the most plausible, that's a fallacious argument in and of itself. Something can be simple, and be completely wrong once you actually look over the context and details, notwithstanding your arguments have been mostly interpretation, assumptions, and cherry picking combined.

Especially if they've already been illustrated that way? The same applies to suns and stars, so by your own logic they're stars. Your argument hinges on a double standard that only exists because you're presuming them to be something and then concluding your verdict without any real proof.

And orbiting around planets? Who's to say they're even orbiting them? That's ONLY the case with Namek because we know how it's day-night cycle works so we know one must be in the foreground at minimum. This isn't the case for other stuff. A white sphere being drawn next to a random planet in space, or in some cases not even near it, there's often quite a gap, doesn't mean it's in front of next to it. They could be billions of miles back for all we know. You're making extra assumptions.

Literally EVERY example you've given shows at least some. And if you look over the manga, you'd see a bunch more too. Do I really need to go grab every time?

An assumption? That ain't a solid argument.
Reasonable and actually being the case are not the same thing. It isn't reasonable because for it to be reasonable you have to completely ignore that

1. Suns and stars are also drawn that way, often in the same panel.

2. Moons and planets wouldn't even be visible in 99% of the shots given the relative fly-by distance to planets in said examples.

3. Planets and moons are drawn on the same pages and they're drawn completely differently.

And being more abundant means nothing, you know what's also true? The fact you can actually see countless suns and stars in space but not other planets and moons at a distance. Being more abundant means nothing at all if we're talking about what would be more abundantly visible.

Dude, that specific object is LITERALLY given the same texture gradient as EARTH'S SUN is, in the fight literally a few chapters prior. which you posted.

We're going to say that the object drawn that way is yeah, which is the entire premise of your own argument anyway.

There, you just confirmed it again. An ASSUMPTION. I don't want an assumption, I want proof. Your arguments are merely you assuming things, often while contradicting yourself.

And this is essentially conceding to cherry picking.

You admit moons have been drawn differently.

But because they've been rarely drawn like that, which fyi, it isn't "generally", it's pretty damn rare, made even worse as the majority of your examples you're even using aren't even moons anyway, in some they are in fact suns, or there's literally no info to go on so calling them anything is simply headcanon and assuming, ie, not an actual argument because me saying nuh uh they arent moons has just as much backing.

Lad, this entire chunk of text had you admit to you just assuming, and cherry picking examples, You don't get to "therefore". Especially because unlike your presumptuous arguments, there's actual stated lore here.

Except when they aren't. In multiple of your shots given, they're drawn like half the panel away, or even further.

In fact, in some of the shots, the tiny specks that I will trust you aren't going to say are also moons, are drawn in-between the alleged "moon" and planets. Are those actually just smaller moons too?

If everything argument hinges on "I think" and not "is", there's nothing to argue. I'm not here for conjecture.

But speaking of coincidences, ain't it odd how every time after the 3 sun lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects consistently?

You have no clue what the word objective means holy hell.

That's the thing, your entire argument is solely relying on illustrations. that's literally all you have, you just conceded that's not a good approach, you straight up stated this is a bad way of arguing.

You don't HAVE supporting evidence. You just assume that's what they are, end of, you don't have anything saying "this random thing is a moon/planet", you just go "oh yep that's a moon, and because it's drawn like a star, moons can be drawn like that".


I already said the anime wasn't gonna fly, because we're talking about the manga. That's, also not good?
Fg41XDf.png
The two darkened objects, coincide with the anime's moons there? The white objects? Do not. They're blatantly stars in the anime too. You're rebuking your own point.

I also said I'd be against using this for the anime, so yep. The anime lacks any of the sun shots too making it worse for them.

And yeah, the anime, which was aired while the manga was being drawn and didn't have the foresight or knowledge of how things would have been.

The anime actively cut every shot with the orbiting suns in it, isn't it odd? How every shot after the manga drops the sun lore, where we see what is evidently suns, the anime, which had already locked in, simply opts not to show those scenes?

It's almost like


this wouldn't be the last time either the anime incorrectly surmised what a celestial object is meant to be (those are very explicitly suns in the manga canon, flatout stated in multiple guides even).

Except EVERYTIME after the sun lore gets dropped, Namek is shown with 3 detailess objects near it. You're effectively agreeing they're drawn how they "should" be.

That isn't even true.


Here's a space shot. From that saga.

See this? Nothing but white objects, a starry sky. But there's a few white objects drawn at different scales too, some decently big.

Are these moons too? Your argument just above was "they're drawn "close" to planets so they're moons", but there's no planets in this panel? Are they just moons off in the middle of space for the hell of it then? Pretty huge stretch in logic don't you think? That a panel that is literally just stars, at varying sizes, just so happens to have the funny white dots too, yet no real planet in sight for them to even be orbiting to be reasonably called moons?

Majin Buu Saga actually goes wild because Kai's World has suns out the ass drawn exactly like that.

Which is my point, if you LITERALLY see planets and moons on the same pages, and they're drawn not like that, why the hell are you assuming they're moons or planets? If they were moons or planets they'd be drawn like the moons and planets we already see.

You actually do to an extent, and you most certainly would in deep space travel across a galaxy, at some point you're going to nearing or passing by other solar systems so some stars would look much closer.

Given this ENTIRE topic is about a solar system with three suns anyway at worst, this argument doesn't even make sense.

Except that again, isn't even true, the "white distant points" in and of themselves are variable sizes to denote scale and depth.

Here, that panel from that same saga. Notice how the very blatantly stars, only stars btw we don't see anything resembling a planet or moon, so you can't pull the "well they're drawn "close" to a planet so they must be moons", are drawn in varying sizes, from tiny, to medium, to decently big too? Same scale as the Namekian shots even, or even some of your own examples?

You can't say these are just moons, you also can't even cop out an argument saying they're just detailess planets because at that point you're just throwing shit and seeing what sticks as me and you both know damn well if they were meant to be planets they'd be drawn as such, like here.

So no, don't follow the same pattern, you've just been cherry picking panels, and concluding they're moons, even though in the very same panels, it isn't even consistent with how the non-star like celestial objects get drawn.

You're cherry picking what is already inconsistent evidence.

And there's that word again "the assumption", I don't want an assumption. I want proof. Especially not proof that has been you foregoing panels that prove this line of thought bunk like the multiple other space shots you haven't included from that same saga where we see those exact same type of white dots, among stars, and only stars, with no planet to orbit in sight.

And proximity?
7WktKZC.png


Take the Jupiter example. Why is one of the farther away larger dots the EXACT same size, as one of the objects you've been calling a moon? Or that triple set between them?

Is that a moon too? It's the same scale as that close one? But why would it be a moon, Jupiter doesn't have any moons triple its distance that are even perceptible? So why the inconsistency? Why the contradiction? If we can be sure that far away one is just a star in the background, why is the object the same size as it up close to it, also not just a star but actually an impossibly big moon that Jupiter doesn't even actually have? As opposed to just being a star in the background that's drawn at a different scale as literally every panel with stars in the manga in space shots do, because let's not forget, the stars in a backdrop are never drawn identically in size between all of them, they're always drawn at different sizes to convey varying distances.

There's more like that, some are even worse where the alleged would-be moon is on the other side of the panel even.

"the assumption", and there it is again.
Why am I even arguing with you ffs you've literally just confirmed like 5 times you're assuming stuff.

As above, the simplest is "usually" the correct one, only works when there isn't extra info to go on, which we have in this case, as Namek's lore is explicit with its 3 suns, and thus when after every point we get a space shot we see 3 sun-like objects near it, every time, that conflicts with Occam's Razor as there's other info that no longer makes things just throwing shit at the wall.

That is not withstanding your assumption here, is based on two more layers of assumptions, which you in this very post conceded to being assumptions, as opposed to based on solid fact.

That logic is actively why this argument is bad. If you consider how all the other objects in the panel are illustrated, then they're blatantly not planets or moons because we see other physical celestial objects on said panels, and they're drawn completely differently. But the stars? About the same, just at varying scales. And do we know Toriyama draws stars like that, even among starry skies?
8dv0TD8.png


Yep we do (I would grab more but I'm not reading the whole ass manga to grab more scans of the obvious).

If your entire argument is solely based on assumptions and GUESSING stuff and presuming what shit is, that isn't an argument.

What the hell, you just disagreed with yourself. "If moons and planets get drawn with details, then white dots are moons".

What am I even arguing at this point, it doesn't even make sense. And hey look, there it is again, "assumption".

????
You're literally arguing against yourself. You just gave perfect reasoning as to why NOT to assume they're moons, only to go "but they're moons tho".

You're arguing that if an object is close to be drawn with detail on the same panel, they would NOT be treated with little to no detail like stars.
You say because in the SAME PANEL they show it's not the case with other moons and stars.
Ergo, we assume they're moons and not stars?

What? If they're close enough to be seen, drawn large enough, and are meant to be moons, and the same panel shows planets and moons elsewhere with detail, they'd also be given detail to coincide with the others to make it clear they're also moons or whatever. If they aren't, then they aren't and are just stars like the rest of the dozens drawn on the same panel?

This argument legitimately makes no sense wtf.

"Hey btw, Namek has specifically 3 suns, just 3 btw, oh btw every time after this we're gonna draw 3 objects around Namek in this exact configuration but exactly like stars".
Is pretty straightforward, I wouldn't even call it an assumption. It's simply going off the very explicit hard stated info we have, as opposed to Namek also having 3 celestial objects around it that aren't suns too which is never stated.

Based on how they're illustrated, yet you ignore how they're illustrated every time after the fact? You're trying to have your cake and eat it too, you very own arguments can be used against it.

The most consistent interpretation? Namek is actually shown with the 3-sun like objects more if we're talking consistency. As said, it is every time after the lore gets dropped. Contrary to 3. Yes 3 I counted, in the early chapters before the sun revelation was revealed. From that point on, never again.

And given your logic here is based on literally 4-5 layers of assumptions, which also have major flaws in them, I'm not so sure I'd call this reasonable let alone CRT worthy. I don't even want to get into the "moons at other parts of the manga", as that is still your assuming stuff and often aren't even correct in said assumption regardless, and is a minority.

How are we foregoing the like 8 times Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects without any merit of detail because that matters apparently.

I'm convinced you don't even know what the argument is at this point.

What the ****? Literally everything you've said this post has been STRICTLY THAT, it isn't me arguing that, it's you. If you think that's a bad argument, then that saves me the time of saying it because you've just called your entire premise bad.

No lad, we have explicit stated info, namek has 3 suns, thus, an eternal day.
Every time after, Namek is shown with 3 sun-like objects orbiting it.
You yourself had conceded on the fact that some panels almost certainly show 3 suns around it just "a bit further out", which, still proves the CRT's proposal correct.

But because moons, rarely, can be drawn like suns/stars get drawn, they're moons. This is ignoring the relevant lore, even potential retcons as DBZ ain't no stranger to that, especially mid-writing, based solely on, what you, yourself, have confirmed to be assumptions on top of assumptions, based on panels that aren't even consistent with your own arguments? Nah man that shit is on you.

What? Literally never once was any object by Namek drawn like a moon after the sun lore is mentioned. This isn't up for debate, it never happens.

Unless you mean "no detail, sun-like white spheres" to be "moons", but you already admitted to just making numerous assumptions to come to that line of thought based on panels that contradict you even. All while ignoring that suns are also drawn the way you claim moons to be for some reason, making your entire argument, hinged on assumptions, headcanon and cherry picking, to be at best just a "maybe".

You mean most. And least of all, none in your examples, which is the worst part. You aren't even giving the scans that do exist that corroborate your point, but are instead giving panels that contradict your point, and saying these specific shots are what support you. It legit makes no sense and makes it evident this argument is less an argument, and more just grasping at straws.

And fifth time now, everytime after the fact we're told Namek has 3 suns, that we see 3 sun-like objects by it, is not "Namek's suns are pretty consistently drawn like moons", but the exact opposite, they're consistently not drawn like that, never drawn like that even after a certain point, are consistently drawn the way stars get drawn, and to make matters worse? Given you want to keep arguing Namek has 3 moons specifically, it can still have 3 moons alongside the 3 suns we get shown, ESPECIALLY because you yourself has argued that Namek does have 3 suns, they're just a bit further out and even drew lines to the things.

Holy hell there it is again, "assumption".

And no that's all you've been doing, in almost every example you've given, it's been calling objects without detail moons. Even WHEN they're drawn large enough to be given ample detail.

No they aren't, it literally never happens.
Every single time, they're drawn as blank spheres.

To say "they're still depicted as moons", is objectively false, and I know you know that, because you've even sent panels you've conceeded on being stars. It never happens, why you're saying it happens, I'd call even straight up lying, unless I'm just forgetting a scan, but I've skimmed that shit like 4 times now, not once can I recall does it happen.

The full context of the illustrations? The ONLY context we have is Namek has 3 suns and thus an eternal day.
Meanwhile every piece of evidence you've given has been prefaced with "assumption", as opposed to "based on what we actually know". And the other scans, is just you asserting they must be moons, despite the blatant contradictions in those very same scans.


The anime? What? The anime literally never draws them like that, ever. And in the case of Namek, they outright removed any of the post sun lore sun scenes, probably to avoid contradictions if anything with what they already went with or to avoid confusion.

And manga? You're cherry picking, end of. You're ignoring the majority of how they're illustrated, using scans you don't even know for a fact what they are, and then just claiming they're moons.

The preconceived notion is the very fact you're assuming things to be moons to begin with despite the contrary evidence in those very same scans. And your reasoning doesn't even work for why either. Bigger white spheres? We see stars get drawn in different sizes all the time in starry sky backdrops in the manga. Near planets? That isn't even true half the time and can just as easily be stars in the background just closer. They drawn like planets/moons? Wrong again, half the time we see moons/planets on that same panel drawn and they're drawn demonstrably different, even when the moon/planet is SMALLER than the white object, making the size to draw excuse not applicable. I could go on, I don't have to though because you've said yourself at every point you're just making an assumption.

The anime actually implicates they're whole-ass planets.
But, again, umpteenth time, they aren't in the manga.

In much the same way the Planet of the Kai's has moons in the anime, in the manga they're explicitly stars.
The anime locking in because it was being done as the manga was and often overtook the manga and thus filler, is not a good indication if the sun shit came in half way through the saga.

I said before, long before you showed up, I'd be against the anime Namek being treated like this. This isn't new info, it's conflating canons.

8dv0TD8.png


Why even say things you know aren't true. Hell this is ONE page before one of your own examples, I KNOW you know of this shot, and there's a bunch more like it too.

Stop cherry picking, and stop trying to say things as if we haven't read the manga.

Like in this shot, where's the planets? Why's that one drawn next to stars anyway? Are you going to still call them moons? Or maybe you're going to call them planets now? Just planets drawn without any semblance of detail despite them being drawn large enough to easily be given some?

And yet, never again after the sun information is dropped.

The anime is not the manga.

Hell whatever happened to not using the anime anyway? So much for that, I'll keep that in mind. Fortunately the existence of the Land of the Kai's makes using the anime for this type of argument very, very, dubious. In fact the anime removing all the panels in which the 3 star-like objects are blatantly shown, is suspicious in and of itself. Why, do you think they removed them? If they were meant to be planets at that point, why not keep them in and just draw them as planets now? They didn't.

And you keep saying they resemble stars in shape (no shit), but left out how they're drawn like them too, consistently after a certain point, based on evidence from the anime or before that info is revealed? And the only context we have is literally the sun lore, your assumptions aren't context.

Dude, when I could legitimately just say "lmao retcon" and it wouldn't even be wrong, there's an issue with your evidence's placement. You need evidence post sun lore.

But the worst part is? This doesn't disprove the sun thing, Namek can have moons yet still have stars, which, funnily enough, just your prior post you argued "those 3 objects weren't suns, THESE the suns" in a panel where they're drawn a tad further away.... While still showing Namek eclipsing them in size? So what's even the argument? You've proven that no matter the case, even if Namek just so happens to have 3 planets up its ass, it still has 3 suns it can be scaled off?

That has absolutely nothing to do with my argument.

My argument was that the thing you're calling a moon CAN'T be the planetary looking body seen from the ground shot based on a slew of reasons.

"it looks like-", except that doesn't rebuke or even comment on the fact that object isn't the big white object shown the next page you're claiming to be the same thing.

No it doesn't?

Did you really just ignore all the issues I just outlined to go "well uh, no"?

Positioning is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
The size is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
It's very position and size, relative to the OTHER object we see, is impossible and contradicts the prior panel.
Etc.

It isn't the same object, it can't be. Nothing lines up, and it is the SAME spread, do you really think Toriyama messed up that badly when he would have just finished drawing it and even looking at it still?

Moons don't change position that quickly. And no, they didn't "change position", that panel prior was them as they were about to leave,
Kc1fGM7.png


Btw, this is what I mean by posting english scans, and then saying "nuh uh ya dont need to read them". Shit like this ain't slick dude, the moons wouldn't change positions in a whole 30 seconds. Unless those moons were orbiting at relativistic speeds, they wouldn't have changed like a whole day's worth, at a super messed up position too, it'd need to be like an asynchronous orbit, but why?

Except that isn't even true, the objects literally get mirrored, why? If they're orbiting it, in what situation would one be orbiting it so much quicker to completely overtake the other for that to occur? If what you're saying is true, and what we see is them directly parallel, then the masses wouldn't be that different, and neither the distances, so the orbital speed shouldn't be that drastically different?

It can't be due to the angle they left at, if it was, it wouldn't be mirrored, but upside down too. It just doesn't work.

But you've been arguing LoD is relative to distance though right? That implicates the planetary one is much closer despite being within pixels of the same size as the dark one, no?

Not how this works, if there's blatant contradictions, you don't get to go "uhm just ignore it lmao".

Especially given 90% of your examples is, in your own words, you simply assuming it to begin with.

No, I'm actually sick of this. Stop saying that's how they're consistently drawn, it's the minority, and all your examples are you presuming it at that, most of which shouldn't even be presumed to begin with because it's evident they aren't moons but just stars drawn in space.

All while ignoring what little scans do actually exist for this which makes it even more baffling.

Dude, spatial positioning is NOT the same as omitting details because things are far back and thus to small to properly draw on a sheet of paper.

If you drew a hyper detail skyscraper next to a house, and then in a different shot, even right after, you draw the skyscraper as just a rectangle and the house as a lil square. That's one thing, but you don't **** up the placements of them and have them be completely different from a second prior.

Dog they do not change positions in the time it takes Vegeta to stand up, say they're leaving, and then leave. Which everyone would know if you posted the english scans, that scene starts off midconvo, there's no time skip, jump, whatever, the moons did not change orbit and positions, sizes and placements within a 30 second back and forth.


Backpedaling, but let it be known you are agreeing those are the suns (which is ****** up because they're literally drawn the same way....).

The flash of light that is planet shaped? Coming from the planet? Are you legitimately arguing now that that said flash is millions of times bigger than Namek itself? Yet somehow STILL confirming to the planet's shape and gravity? There is no way 🗿

And this again goes back to your cherry picking. You used the anime right? Yet why are you ignoring that flash of light in the anime was only that?


Like yep, that's definitely millions of times bigger than the planet itself. Mind you even at max expansion, it's width doesn't extend beyond this. Why are you cherry picking?

This is backpedaling. You conceded those were suns, agree they're suns, but making up new excuses as to why it don't count (which is odd even given if we were to calc it, the end result wouldn't even change as the point of reference for the calcs would be the suns, not Namek itself).

Literally EVERY thing you've said this post, you've prefaced with "assume" or "assumption". I don't even have to say it, you've said it yourself.

90% of your own scans contradict you.
The anime is you cherry picking too, as established above.

All while ignoring every instance that doesn't align with your assumptions.

This isn't solid proof, it's just going off assumptions, that probably aren't true in most cases, and using that as hard evidence.

We love World of the Kai's.
We also love ignoring the various things the anime did in regards to Namek contradictory to the Namek, like removing the shots of the blatant suns post lore, which in itself is suspicious.
Or even just ignoring stuff like the above where the flash of light is literally just as big as Namek. Why is it ok to use the anime that blatantly veers off at times, but ignore it when it it shots you in the foot because you already admitted that they were stars so now you need to make an excuse for why Namek can't be scaled off it?

So no solid proof, and visual evidence based solely on your interpretation and assumptions.

You realize I could just go "nuh uh those stars" and it would have the exact same weight to it as your claims right? An Assumption isn't proof. Your opinion isn't proof. And when it isn't even consistent within itself and your own evidence, it most certainly isn't a rebuttal.

You say this, yet ignore the fact suns are also drawn like that. Other scenes? Lad in the same panels they're drawn the same way as stars, yet different from the planets and moons shown on said panel too.

If your whole argument hinges on visual illustrations, you've failed in that because you've proven stars and suns are almost universally drawn that way too, and ignoring how planets and moons are more often than not, not drawn like that.

For someone who argued "Toriyma just frugot" or "he just messed up positioning a bit", to argue that suddenly here it's different is pretty damn suspicious.

All while foregoing that your own scans, scans you admit to be stars so argument is over everyone, go home, were part of the "every time after" list of scans, and not some new meaningful info, STILL show Namek at an astronomical size and hell, would even still enable those blasts to be calced relative to the suns, just don't count because "oh nah the curvature we blatantly see? not namek, actually a million times bigger than namek tbh". And then conveniently ignore the anime, something you're now using as a crux despite it's blatant contradictions, shows that VERY scene, that flash of light, among other things, as not as large as you're assuming (again, assumption) to be?

No. there's no way this is an actual argument, and the worst part is, you're actively sabotaging any hard argument against Namek being that big, because if Namek just so happens to have 3 conveniently placed moons, but also 3 suns just a tad further out, you've just argued that it has a set of both, while arguing the moons that you claim to be there are not the blank white objects we also see at times, and thus both co-exist, and the "moons" don't conflict with the suns as they exist separately yet still at a scale Namek can be scaled off.

I legit don't get this, why even argue, you obviously don't want Namek to be that large, yet by just throwing out shit and seeing what sticks, you've given multiple examples and even explanations, unintentionally, that rebuke the opposing arguments ffs.

Early on, untill it isn't, buy not that that matters at all, I'm not repeating the same argument you've failed to even comment on like 5 times.

And other times but let's ignore those too 🗿

Lad, they are literally closer to it than some of your own examples where you say that a random white sphere in the void of space is a moon because it's "by" a planet.

And "suggesting", so not fact, but a presumption...
But even if we go with this presumption, it simultaneously proves the CRT and yet voids any of the moon arguments as above 🗿
This is not the flawless argument you think it is.

Oh so NOW that's how suns are depicted, now, ONLY now. Not the other Namek shots, not the numerous space shots, but simply here? No difference, just conveniently now?

I *******, I can't dudes, set me free.

Not going to say again how arguing they're suns is actually a good thing, and was part of the CRT's proposal anyway for those specific scans to be suns, among others, so really this is just agreeing with the CRT but **** me ig, I hate this argument. It's literally just you picking when shit is what to suit your point.

"These white spheres have detai-", no? If they're shown as white spheres they aren't being shown with detail. Kind of blatant paradoxical statement there.

Or do you mean early on? Namek having a moon doesn't contradict the 3 suns we see orbiting it, especially post 3 sun yap.

I mean, they're the same shit, you're just separating them and treating them as different things.


We have no idea how shit even works in Daima. Also, doesn't Daima LITERALLY have a planet so massive it has suns in it?

But sure, you concede your argument isn't at all based on

Scientific accuracy, and common sense, are very closely tied. It's common sense for [thing that is literally just how it works], my dude.

And if you're legitimately using Daima, you're digging yourself an even deeper hole.

What? Pretty sure Mercury being balls hot is common knowledge.
And lad, your very own scaling would constitute as "orbiting right next to you", twice as close as it is to Mercury, is very much right up a planet's ass. 7m km which you also gave, it just a few suns width away.

And ya know what's worse? If Namek WASN'T as big as being argued, the suns at that distance would eclipse most of the sky at all times because there'd be nowhere on the planet that's enough distance away from them for them to look only relatively big, as opposed to just the whole sky is a sun.

And that proves the CRT? They're all super close to Namek in said panels?

That's literally what it means, one of them must be next to or in front of it. If that's the case, Namek can be scaled off at least one of them. We'd pick the smallest to be safe.

The only way it wouldn't be the case, is if we didn't have the lore explaining the 3 suns and why Namek is always day. If we did not have that, we would just go they're random suns a billion miles away or some shit.

That isn't how this works. If Namek and one sun was shown. We can't say Namek is next to it or behind it. If two were shown, same thing. If all 3 were shown? We can because we have to because one must be in front or next to it.

If Namek is shown simultaneously with its suns, scaling becomes possible. Whether Namek is bigger, smaller, or just as big, doesn't matter. This doesn't change the fact Namek can be scaled, and if it just so happens to end up bigger, so be it.

Your entireargument is self admitted assumptions and other slop like inconsistencies in the same panels and yadda yadda, you get it, I get it, everyone gets it. Same shit.

We literally see it, including in the very panels you're now locked in arguing ARE in fact suns, but just to far away to matter.

Ignoring basic science is not common sense.

And what? We have no idea how big the Demon World is? In fact, what are you talking about? That's a normal sized sun in the Demon Realm? They never say it's small, you're making an assumption, again, that is never backed or sourced in literally anything, that doesn't even make sense in the cntext of the demon world anyway.

In fact the third demon world is the biggest one, literally encompassing the second demon world, which is filled with planets, of which some are even normal or larger in size. Yet you're arguing it's a tiny sun that is lighting up the world that eclipses countless planets?

How could a tiny sun that light up and give a functional day-night cycle to a world that is probably, at minimum, already bigger than most average stars simply based on the second demon world? Hell we even got statements how it would take days to cross it in high-tech ships, or how thousands of km, actual planetary distances, are but miniscule fractions of it?

So no, in fact if you want to use Daima, the exact opposite is proven true.


No dude, they're suns, literally drawn with
2vjCqL0.png


One of a bunch of blatant art dictating as such.

And from Daizenshuu
"Kaioshin Planet
Area: Afterlife
Special Characteristics: The planet that the kaioshin live on. It’s distinguished as a place with a pink sky and numerous suns. It is a very sturdy planet, and cannot be damaged easily. However, it suffered damage during the battle between Goku and Majin Buu (pure).
Battles: Son Goku vs. Majin Buu (pure)

Events: Kaioshin brought Gohan here in order to draw out the Z Sword. Also, after having his seal broken, the Elder Kaioshin powered up Gohan. Furthermore, it became the site of the final battle with Majin Buu. (Daizenshuu 4, p.73)"

I like how you just made an arbitrary assumption. Why mortal? We already know super huge planets exist?

I'm gonna re-enact the end of MGS4 ong.
"Assumption". Assumption isn't fact.

A big planet could be larger than a solar system, we don't know, there's nothing to go on beyond the fact we know planets can be so astronomically huge that the proposed Namek's size looks pathetic in comparison.

You don't get to go "oh well we have no idea how big a top end large one is, so surely they're smaller", we don't know. It isn't an argument both for and against. It's a literal nothing line.

Yeah with planets like Namek which have 3 suns and an eternal day which is literally not possible irl no matter how big it is 🗿

You are really locking in a statement about planets when a not even average planet in DBZ is multiple times earth, earth is considered pathetically small, and super ultra planets exist just fine constantly?

Because you ASSUME the details of a vague statement?

What? He's just talking about in reference to the villages? It's a one off line that's before the sun lore btw, where he's just like "damn this is a pain in the ass, oh well it could be worse".

The intent of the line is to show annoyance but acknowledge it isn't impossible.

Don't even start with the movement speed shit. Namek could be literally be star sized, and at the speed they're at, at said point, wouldn't make it unfeasible, it'd be a pain, but not impossible to travel a super planet, it'd just take some hours, which, is perfectly fine? It was already taking them awhile. When if Namek was earth sized, it shouldn't have taken Krillin two hours to go to a place that isn't even in the other side of the planet tbh.

Dodoria for example is explicitly faster than them at that point in movement, Krillin and Gohan even say as much and have to resort to Solar Flare because they were gonna get caught and killed otherwise, and Dodoria would have vastly exceeded Goku's flight speed at that point which thinking on it, why isn't that even calced? We see what Snake Way looks like, we can account for the curves he skipped just fine by drawing it out? Freeza and Zarbon, would be even quicker.

And no, them covering Earth doesn't really take long at all? At that point in the story, there was never a point where flying around earth to find dragon balls took any semblance of time at all, or flying around earth at all, assuming they weren't holding back or conserving energy.

Dude, your visual consistency is literally just your interpretation in and of itself.

Objective, is not "assumptions", which you have stated to be as such every argument.Ad again, your examples aren't even consistent within themselves. And you've conveniently, deliberately or not, excluded a bunch of space shots in said arc that displays said inconsistencies too.

Except when they aren't. Except when half your examples aren't even moons to begin with and ARE actually stars.

Sometimes they're not orbiting a planet too, sometimes they're super far away from the planet like half way across the panel too. You're cherry picking, and not even doing that good a job at it.

Except they don't. This is legit just wrong.

They don't show details, we see 3 blank white objects around Namek multiple times after the 3 sun yap gets dropped. They aren't given details, the fact they lack details is part of the problem in your incessant statements. And your rebuttal to that is simply "they're actually moons anyway".

There that word is again, "assume". Not fact, not anything, just more assumptions based solely on your, at this point, 8 layers of assumptions.

Because "they're illustrated a specific way", which is ****** up as you have multiple times in this very post, went back and forth saying what does and doesn't count and contradicting yourself. It's absolutely asinine.

The anime also cut every shot with the suns in question, contradicts you explicitly on your reason for why shots you DO agree with being the suns don't count, and has the problem with being aired and made alongside the manga and even overtaking it at points and thus didn't have that foresight.

Their possible existence?

I hate this I really do.

Your previous line was literally just stating it might possibly exist. Not that they do exist.

Namek, in the context of the manga, just so happens to have 3 moons.
They reveal Namek has 3 suns.
Every single shot afterward shows namek with 3, very blatantly drawn sun-like objects, as your very own scans would dictate contrary to your beliefs.
But apparently not, we just have to assume every time, they're secretly moons and not the 3 suns we know it has?

All because you assume, in your words, a bunch of disconnected facets to draw a conclusion that still ultimately boils down to "it might possibly be the case"?

No but it sure as hell would be mentioned in the Daizenshuu or something. It is never said.

This is like the 20th time you've admitted to your argument being an assumption.
This is like the 20th time you've just said words and arrived at a conclusion, based solely on your other inconsistent assumptions.
All while ignoring everything that contradicts or rebukes your argument.

And the fact you literally agreed we see 3 stars next to Namek at multiple points, but are now backpedaling in the very same post you've went on record saying as much multiple times.

Uh, yeah goddamn right? We don't work on assumptions. We don't enforce our own headcanon. We work with the facts we have. We do not do vast amounts of mental gymnastics, using disconnected scans and examples that contradict your very argument and claims anyway, to arrive at a different assumption.

This isn't how this works, calling shit a fallacy doesn't make you right. It's just obnoxious especially when I don't even have to accuse you doing nothing but assuming and going solely off your own personal, subjective, interpretation, because you've already admitted to it.

And ironically, all you've done is dismiss things that don't fit into your self-admitted presumptions. This is beyond hypocritical.

Oh so you admit it's just your interpretation, welp now I don't gotta feel bad for calling a duck a duck 🗿
But bluhbluh 50th time, your very visual evidence doesn't even work with you, if anything you've been showing planets and stars and moons in space shots get drawn a certain way pretty universally or at the very least drawn differently with enough difference to tell them distinctly apart.

And no you are indeed cherry picking.

Panel 1? We see a blatantly drawn planet. And white objects. Are those moons? No why would they be? The panel already gives ample detail to a planetary object, if they were intended to be moons, why not give them the same? Is it because they're close? Well it can't be that because one of the white spheres is on the other side of the panel not even close to the planet.

Panel 2? Are those white objects moons? No why the hell would they be? There isn't even a planet around for them to be orbiting, they're just in the middle of a starry backdrop, so why assume they're anything but just closer stars?

Panel 3? We literally see two planets/moons drawn, so why would the things you're claiming to be the same things not be drawn in the same way? It makes no sense.

Panel 4? More of the alleged moon-type objects, yet no planet in sight for them to be orbiting.

These are just panels directly connected to YOUR examples mind you, I could grab more.

Ok so now you AGREE it's consistent come a certain point, yet previously were saying the opposite?

Also that word again, "assume".

We literally don't do that it's considered its own canon here. And goddamn right it is, otherwise ** it, let's upgrade the manga Namek explosion to be like 4-B or something because the anime clarified the scope of it ig, or let's ignore the very explicit lore and, ironically, visuals, for the world of the kai's because the anime made them moons, went oops we **** up, and just ran with it too.

And no it isn't vague, it's pretty straightforward you've just established a whole disconnected line of reasoning based on numerous assumptions and interpretations to arrive at a "possibly", and are treating that as a solid rebuttal.

Ok so now you agree they're being shown as suns?
No it very much does invalidate it, if we know Namek has 3 suns, and every time that lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn around 3 sun like objects you just conceded to being exactly that, it means exactly that, your interpretation gets thrown out the window.

But really, show me one instance post 3 sun drop, where they're depicted as anything different. If you can't, even the mere argument of "retcon" is sufficient. I'm not here to humor presumptions. Especially not when you've literally gave an argument yourself that would make moons not effect the 3 sun panels anyway.


Interpretation again, and lad, we have guides. Ignoring the fact the manga actually does explain stuff like that.

Your objective evidence is assumptions, you've said so yourself. Assumptions aren't objective. That isn't what that word entails.

And sick of saying it, but your alleged evidence if anything supports the opposite.

Only if you ignore the numerous times moons aren't depicted as that.
Ignore the actual facts and info we have.
Just assume random white spheres in space shots are moons even when we see other moons and planets on panel showing us that they aren't the same thing.
Assume they're moons when there's not even a planet in sight.
Make actual excuses for all the blatant contradictions in your own scans (yeah moons really moved orbits in a few seconds).
i could go on, it's baffling. Like

Freeza planet, one of your main examples
NhIqt7y.png


You're legitimately arguing those white spheres moons? Why? We can SEE the moons it has, they're drawn completely differently, same way as the planet even. If those white spheres were meant to be moons, they'd be given the gradient that rockey celestial objects in that same panel are given. And given your focus on light sources and cascading shadows.... The location and angles of the big white spheres, coincide with the lit up parts of the planets surface, and the dark part lacks any of them at that angle. So ya know what? Based on your own types of arguments, those white objects would be stars, as they're drawn distinct from what we know to be a moon and even the shading is consistent with it. But apparently, they're moons too, actual consistent be damned, surely stars can't be drawn closer, especially if we're talking about that solar system's actual sun.

Do you not see why your alleged evidence doesn't even make sense within itself?

Yeah no this ain't funny. Stop wasting my time.

Your entire argument is self admitted assumptions layered on top of more.

You literally admit it's all just your interpretation and assumptions. It's quite literally "vibes".

Who the hell says we need Occam's Razor? That only applies in lack of concrete info. If we DIDNT know Namek had 3 suns orbiting it making it always day, you'd be right, we wouldn't be saying that, but in that same vain, this would never have been a topic to begin with.

Actual proof. I'm not doing this shit with you again. I don't want your opinion, cherry picking, double standards, or dismissing of blatant contradictions in your own evidence. I want actual, not debatable proof within the manga canon, or at least a manga guide.

I ALSO want to point out that due to how Namek's cycle works, we should ALWAYS see one of its suns behind it too, so it's not like they should be off screen no? The back has to be lit up too. And the arguments presented here would still enable scaling blasts and shit off the stars, especially if "oh the explosions/light just eclipsed the planet a billion times over and despite still following the planet's curvature, is actually a million times bigger than it".


Damn... 🥴
 
What? No. Only ONE has to be shown in front. At minimum. Two can be in front just fine. It's only a problem if all three are shown in front because then the back would be dark.

One in front is just the minimum. Two could also be in front of it and one is behind it. We don't know, so we don't assume, we just know for a fact one must be.

So we see a sun at different parts of the planet?

And?

Unless all three are shown simultaneously in the sky, Nothing changes, and more of this interpretative drawing shit.

I'm not ASKING you. You post english scans for people to read, or stop posting.

I have to take you word for it, I'm not going to take your word for it.
Post english, or stop posting on the english forum in a debate with english speaking people. Your lack of actually complying has been relevant at least twice, where the actual stated dialogue contradicts or rebukes the argument you have been making.

Not sufficient. And I'm not taking your word for anything either. You're forcing me to waste my time to look shit up when you should be posting them to begin with.
Your context is heavily opinionated, you've actively proven that time and time again.

You can't include information that doesn't even exist. Freeza planet for example has no such lore, actually it does, it's part of a duel planet system, which is in fact shown in the scans. Which, actually doesn't support your claim at all that the white object, is a moon. In fact it pretty explicitly confirms it isn't a moon because we know how many it has. That being two.

What the hell are you talking about? It's LITERALLY every time.

That isn't true, at no point do they say anything about moons in the majority of the scans.

Why would they ever anyway? That don't say "oh this random no-named planet we just flew by has these specific moons", they don't even say anything about Freeza planet.

Confirmation and your personal opinion, are not the same thing.

Except half the time they aren't even oddly placed around the planets, a chunk of them are just off in the expanse.

Occam's Razor would tell you the blatantly and differently drawn white sphere objects would be stars, not planets and moons, when said panels also show planets and moons drawn completely differently.

Your opinion, because this is all this is, is not fact. I do not want your opinion, I want actual proof. If your entire argument hinges on "i THINK this is", that isn't good enough.

To bad? You don't think? Isn't good enough, and that's all your arguments have been, simply what you think, not what is actually proven.

It's a real, existing, place, shit needs to be drawn remotely to scale. Not literally hundreds of times off.

Jupiter is Jupiter.

Ok then where's Jupiter's other dozens of moons? Jupiter doesn't have just 4 moons, it has almost a hundred. Are you going to say only specifically 4 where drawn off scale just because?

And again, this isn't an argument, you're presuming. This isn't fact, you're legit just saying "They're moons. They're moons because art is bad". Even though it's just as likely they're some stars in the background, given they're drawn like stars, and if it was Jupiter's moons, the scale is hilariously wrong, let alone the positioning, and the only argument you have to warrant that, falls flat when you remember Jupiter has so many moons that you'd legit then be arguing only a FEW of the moons were drawn off to scale while the others weren't making your very own reasoning inconsistent within itself.

Get used to this scan.
They literally are. The only reason you're saying they aren't is because you're saying they're moons, and because they're moons they can't be stars. Based on the fact, they're moons? No, what the hell? You're just saying words, and then concluding it's the case so it can't be the other thing.

This is a bad argument. The simplest assumption would be they're stars because that's what stars even on those very panels look like, and sometimes even the preceding page like the above one.

No, the simplest assumption isn't the most plausible, that's a fallacious argument in and of itself. Something can be simple, and be completely wrong once you actually look over the context and details, notwithstanding your arguments have been mostly interpretation, assumptions, and cherry picking combined.

Especially if they've already been illustrated that way? The same applies to suns and stars, so by your own logic they're stars. Your argument hinges on a double standard that only exists because you're presuming them to be something and then concluding your verdict without any real proof.

And orbiting around planets? Who's to say they're even orbiting them? That's ONLY the case with Namek because we know how it's day-night cycle works so we know one must be in the foreground at minimum. This isn't the case for other stuff. A white sphere being drawn next to a random planet in space, or in some cases not even near it, there's often quite a gap, doesn't mean it's in front of next to it. They could be billions of miles back for all we know. You're making extra assumptions.

Literally EVERY example you've given shows at least some. And if you look over the manga, you'd see a bunch more too. Do I really need to go grab every time?

An assumption? That ain't a solid argument.
Reasonable and actually being the case are not the same thing. It isn't reasonable because for it to be reasonable you have to completely ignore that

1. Suns and stars are also drawn that way, often in the same panel.

2. Moons and planets wouldn't even be visible in 99% of the shots given the relative fly-by distance to planets in said examples.

3. Planets and moons are drawn on the same pages and they're drawn completely differently.

And being more abundant means nothing, you know what's also true? The fact you can actually see countless suns and stars in space but not other planets and moons at a distance. Being more abundant means nothing at all if we're talking about what would be more abundantly visible.

Dude, that specific object is LITERALLY given the same texture gradient as EARTH'S SUN is, in the fight literally a few chapters prior. which you posted.

We're going to say that the object drawn that way is yeah, which is the entire premise of your own argument anyway.

There, you just confirmed it again. An ASSUMPTION. I don't want an assumption, I want proof. Your arguments are merely you assuming things, often while contradicting yourself.

And this is essentially conceding to cherry picking.

You admit moons have been drawn differently.

But because they've been rarely drawn like that, which fyi, it isn't "generally", it's pretty damn rare, made even worse as the majority of your examples you're even using aren't even moons anyway, in some they are in fact suns, or there's literally no info to go on so calling them anything is simply headcanon and assuming, ie, not an actual argument because me saying nuh uh they arent moons has just as much backing.

Lad, this entire chunk of text had you admit to you just assuming, and cherry picking examples, You don't get to "therefore". Especially because unlike your presumptuous arguments, there's actual stated lore here.

Except when they aren't. In multiple of your shots given, they're drawn like half the panel away, or even further.

In fact, in some of the shots, the tiny specks that I will trust you aren't going to say are also moons, are drawn in-between the alleged "moon" and planets. Are those actually just smaller moons too?

If everything argument hinges on "I think" and not "is", there's nothing to argue. I'm not here for conjecture.

But speaking of coincidences, ain't it odd how every time after the 3 sun lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects consistently?

You have no clue what the word objective means holy hell.

That's the thing, your entire argument is solely relying on illustrations. that's literally all you have, you just conceded that's not a good approach, you straight up stated this is a bad way of arguing.

You don't HAVE supporting evidence. You just assume that's what they are, end of, you don't have anything saying "this random thing is a moon/planet", you just go "oh yep that's a moon, and because it's drawn like a star, moons can be drawn like that".


I already said the anime wasn't gonna fly, because we're talking about the manga. That's, also not good?
Fg41XDf.png
The two darkened objects, coincide with the anime's moons there? The white objects? Do not. They're blatantly stars in the anime too. You're rebuking your own point.

I also said I'd be against using this for the anime, so yep. The anime lacks any of the sun shots too making it worse for them.

And yeah, the anime, which was aired while the manga was being drawn and didn't have the foresight or knowledge of how things would have been.

The anime actively cut every shot with the orbiting suns in it, isn't it odd? How every shot after the manga drops the sun lore, where we see what is evidently suns, the anime, which had already locked in, simply opts not to show those scenes?

It's almost like


this wouldn't be the last time either the anime incorrectly surmised what a celestial object is meant to be (those are very explicitly suns in the manga canon, flatout stated in multiple guides even).

Except EVERYTIME after the sun lore gets dropped, Namek is shown with 3 detailess objects near it. You're effectively agreeing they're drawn how they "should" be.

That isn't even true.


Here's a space shot. From that saga.

See this? Nothing but white objects, a starry sky. But there's a few white objects drawn at different scales too, some decently big.

Are these moons too? Your argument just above was "they're drawn "close" to planets so they're moons", but there's no planets in this panel? Are they just moons off in the middle of space for the hell of it then? Pretty huge stretch in logic don't you think? That a panel that is literally just stars, at varying sizes, just so happens to have the funny white dots too, yet no real planet in sight for them to even be orbiting to be reasonably called moons?

Majin Buu Saga actually goes wild because Kai's World has suns out the ass drawn exactly like that.

Which is my point, if you LITERALLY see planets and moons on the same pages, and they're drawn not like that, why the hell are you assuming they're moons or planets? If they were moons or planets they'd be drawn like the moons and planets we already see.

You actually do to an extent, and you most certainly would in deep space travel across a galaxy, at some point you're going to nearing or passing by other solar systems so some stars would look much closer.

Given this ENTIRE topic is about a solar system with three suns anyway at worst, this argument doesn't even make sense.

Except that again, isn't even true, the "white distant points" in and of themselves are variable sizes to denote scale and depth.

Here, that panel from that same saga. Notice how the very blatantly stars, only stars btw we don't see anything resembling a planet or moon, so you can't pull the "well they're drawn "close" to a planet so they must be moons", are drawn in varying sizes, from tiny, to medium, to decently big too? Same scale as the Namekian shots even, or even some of your own examples?

You can't say these are just moons, you also can't even cop out an argument saying they're just detailess planets because at that point you're just throwing shit and seeing what sticks as me and you both know damn well if they were meant to be planets they'd be drawn as such, like here.

So no, don't follow the same pattern, you've just been cherry picking panels, and concluding they're moons, even though in the very same panels, it isn't even consistent with how the non-star like celestial objects get drawn.

You're cherry picking what is already inconsistent evidence.

And there's that word again "the assumption", I don't want an assumption. I want proof. Especially not proof that has been you foregoing panels that prove this line of thought bunk like the multiple other space shots you haven't included from that same saga where we see those exact same type of white dots, among stars, and only stars, with no planet to orbit in sight.

And proximity?
7WktKZC.png


Take the Jupiter example. Why is one of the farther away larger dots the EXACT same size, as one of the objects you've been calling a moon? Or that triple set between them?

Is that a moon too? It's the same scale as that close one? But why would it be a moon, Jupiter doesn't have any moons triple its distance that are even perceptible? So why the inconsistency? Why the contradiction? If we can be sure that far away one is just a star in the background, why is the object the same size as it up close to it, also not just a star but actually an impossibly big moon that Jupiter doesn't even actually have? As opposed to just being a star in the background that's drawn at a different scale as literally every panel with stars in the manga in space shots do, because let's not forget, the stars in a backdrop are never drawn identically in size between all of them, they're always drawn at different sizes to convey varying distances.

There's more like that, some are even worse where the alleged would-be moon is on the other side of the panel even.

"the assumption", and there it is again.
Why am I even arguing with you ffs you've literally just confirmed like 5 times you're assuming stuff.

As above, the simplest is "usually" the correct one, only works when there isn't extra info to go on, which we have in this case, as Namek's lore is explicit with its 3 suns, and thus when after every point we get a space shot we see 3 sun-like objects near it, every time, that conflicts with Occam's Razor as there's other info that no longer makes things just throwing shit at the wall.

That is not withstanding your assumption here, is based on two more layers of assumptions, which you in this very post conceded to being assumptions, as opposed to based on solid fact.

That logic is actively why this argument is bad. If you consider how all the other objects in the panel are illustrated, then they're blatantly not planets or moons because we see other physical celestial objects on said panels, and they're drawn completely differently. But the stars? About the same, just at varying scales. And do we know Toriyama draws stars like that, even among starry skies?
8dv0TD8.png


Yep we do (I would grab more but I'm not reading the whole ass manga to grab more scans of the obvious).

If your entire argument is solely based on assumptions and GUESSING stuff and presuming what shit is, that isn't an argument.

What the hell, you just disagreed with yourself. "If moons and planets get drawn with details, then white dots are moons".

What am I even arguing at this point, it doesn't even make sense. And hey look, there it is again, "assumption".

????
You're literally arguing against yourself. You just gave perfect reasoning as to why NOT to assume they're moons, only to go "but they're moons tho".

You're arguing that if an object is close to be drawn with detail on the same panel, they would NOT be treated with little to no detail like stars.
You say because in the SAME PANEL they show it's not the case with other moons and stars.
Ergo, we assume they're moons and not stars?

What? If they're close enough to be seen, drawn large enough, and are meant to be moons, and the same panel shows planets and moons elsewhere with detail, they'd also be given detail to coincide with the others to make it clear they're also moons or whatever. If they aren't, then they aren't and are just stars like the rest of the dozens drawn on the same panel?

This argument legitimately makes no sense wtf.

"Hey btw, Namek has specifically 3 suns, just 3 btw, oh btw every time after this we're gonna draw 3 objects around Namek in this exact configuration but exactly like stars".
Is pretty straightforward, I wouldn't even call it an assumption. It's simply going off the very explicit hard stated info we have, as opposed to Namek also having 3 celestial objects around it that aren't suns too which is never stated.

Based on how they're illustrated, yet you ignore how they're illustrated every time after the fact? You're trying to have your cake and eat it too, you very own arguments can be used against it.

The most consistent interpretation? Namek is actually shown with the 3-sun like objects more if we're talking consistency. As said, it is every time after the lore gets dropped. Contrary to 3. Yes 3 I counted, in the early chapters before the sun revelation was revealed. From that point on, never again.

And given your logic here is based on literally 4-5 layers of assumptions, which also have major flaws in them, I'm not so sure I'd call this reasonable let alone CRT worthy. I don't even want to get into the "moons at other parts of the manga", as that is still your assuming stuff and often aren't even correct in said assumption regardless, and is a minority.

How are we foregoing the like 8 times Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects without any merit of detail because that matters apparently.

I'm convinced you don't even know what the argument is at this point.

What the ****? Literally everything you've said this post has been STRICTLY THAT, it isn't me arguing that, it's you. If you think that's a bad argument, then that saves me the time of saying it because you've just called your entire premise bad.

No lad, we have explicit stated info, namek has 3 suns, thus, an eternal day.
Every time after, Namek is shown with 3 sun-like objects orbiting it.
You yourself had conceded on the fact that some panels almost certainly show 3 suns around it just "a bit further out", which, still proves the CRT's proposal correct.

But because moons, rarely, can be drawn like suns/stars get drawn, they're moons. This is ignoring the relevant lore, even potential retcons as DBZ ain't no stranger to that, especially mid-writing, based solely on, what you, yourself, have confirmed to be assumptions on top of assumptions, based on panels that aren't even consistent with your own arguments? Nah man that shit is on you.

What? Literally never once was any object by Namek drawn like a moon after the sun lore is mentioned. This isn't up for debate, it never happens.

Unless you mean "no detail, sun-like white spheres" to be "moons", but you already admitted to just making numerous assumptions to come to that line of thought based on panels that contradict you even. All while ignoring that suns are also drawn the way you claim moons to be for some reason, making your entire argument, hinged on assumptions, headcanon and cherry picking, to be at best just a "maybe".

You mean most. And least of all, none in your examples, which is the worst part. You aren't even giving the scans that do exist that corroborate your point, but are instead giving panels that contradict your point, and saying these specific shots are what support you. It legit makes no sense and makes it evident this argument is less an argument, and more just grasping at straws.

And fifth time now, everytime after the fact we're told Namek has 3 suns, that we see 3 sun-like objects by it, is not "Namek's suns are pretty consistently drawn like moons", but the exact opposite, they're consistently not drawn like that, never drawn like that even after a certain point, are consistently drawn the way stars get drawn, and to make matters worse? Given you want to keep arguing Namek has 3 moons specifically, it can still have 3 moons alongside the 3 suns we get shown, ESPECIALLY because you yourself has argued that Namek does have 3 suns, they're just a bit further out and even drew lines to the things.

Holy hell there it is again, "assumption".

And no that's all you've been doing, in almost every example you've given, it's been calling objects without detail moons. Even WHEN they're drawn large enough to be given ample detail.

No they aren't, it literally never happens.
Every single time, they're drawn as blank spheres.

To say "they're still depicted as moons", is objectively false, and I know you know that, because you've even sent panels you've conceeded on being stars. It never happens, why you're saying it happens, I'd call even straight up lying, unless I'm just forgetting a scan, but I've skimmed that shit like 4 times now, not once can I recall does it happen.

The full context of the illustrations? The ONLY context we have is Namek has 3 suns and thus an eternal day.
Meanwhile every piece of evidence you've given has been prefaced with "assumption", as opposed to "based on what we actually know". And the other scans, is just you asserting they must be moons, despite the blatant contradictions in those very same scans.


The anime? What? The anime literally never draws them like that, ever. And in the case of Namek, they outright removed any of the post sun lore sun scenes, probably to avoid contradictions if anything with what they already went with or to avoid confusion.

And manga? You're cherry picking, end of. You're ignoring the majority of how they're illustrated, using scans you don't even know for a fact what they are, and then just claiming they're moons.

The preconceived notion is the very fact you're assuming things to be moons to begin with despite the contrary evidence in those very same scans. And your reasoning doesn't even work for why either. Bigger white spheres? We see stars get drawn in different sizes all the time in starry sky backdrops in the manga. Near planets? That isn't even true half the time and can just as easily be stars in the background just closer. They drawn like planets/moons? Wrong again, half the time we see moons/planets on that same panel drawn and they're drawn demonstrably different, even when the moon/planet is SMALLER than the white object, making the size to draw excuse not applicable. I could go on, I don't have to though because you've said yourself at every point you're just making an assumption.

The anime actually implicates they're whole-ass planets.
But, again, umpteenth time, they aren't in the manga.

In much the same way the Planet of the Kai's has moons in the anime, in the manga they're explicitly stars.
The anime locking in because it was being done as the manga was and often overtook the manga and thus filler, is not a good indication if the sun shit came in half way through the saga.

I said before, long before you showed up, I'd be against the anime Namek being treated like this. This isn't new info, it's conflating canons.

8dv0TD8.png


Why even say things you know aren't true. Hell this is ONE page before one of your own examples, I KNOW you know of this shot, and there's a bunch more like it too.

Stop cherry picking, and stop trying to say things as if we haven't read the manga.

Like in this shot, where's the planets? Why's that one drawn next to stars anyway? Are you going to still call them moons? Or maybe you're going to call them planets now? Just planets drawn without any semblance of detail despite them being drawn large enough to easily be given some?

And yet, never again after the sun information is dropped.

The anime is not the manga.

Hell whatever happened to not using the anime anyway? So much for that, I'll keep that in mind. Fortunately the existence of the Land of the Kai's makes using the anime for this type of argument very, very, dubious. In fact the anime removing all the panels in which the 3 star-like objects are blatantly shown, is suspicious in and of itself. Why, do you think they removed them? If they were meant to be planets at that point, why not keep them in and just draw them as planets now? They didn't.

And you keep saying they resemble stars in shape (no shit), but left out how they're drawn like them too, consistently after a certain point, based on evidence from the anime or before that info is revealed? And the only context we have is literally the sun lore, your assumptions aren't context.

Dude, when I could legitimately just say "lmao retcon" and it wouldn't even be wrong, there's an issue with your evidence's placement. You need evidence post sun lore.

But the worst part is? This doesn't disprove the sun thing, Namek can have moons yet still have stars, which, funnily enough, just your prior post you argued "those 3 objects weren't suns, THESE the suns" in a panel where they're drawn a tad further away.... While still showing Namek eclipsing them in size? So what's even the argument? You've proven that no matter the case, even if Namek just so happens to have 3 planets up its ass, it still has 3 suns it can be scaled off?

That has absolutely nothing to do with my argument.

My argument was that the thing you're calling a moon CAN'T be the planetary looking body seen from the ground shot based on a slew of reasons.

"it looks like-", except that doesn't rebuke or even comment on the fact that object isn't the big white object shown the next page you're claiming to be the same thing.

No it doesn't?

Did you really just ignore all the issues I just outlined to go "well uh, no"?

Positioning is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
The size is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
It's very position and size, relative to the OTHER object we see, is impossible and contradicts the prior panel.
Etc.

It isn't the same object, it can't be. Nothing lines up, and it is the SAME spread, do you really think Toriyama messed up that badly when he would have just finished drawing it and even looking at it still?

Moons don't change position that quickly. And no, they didn't "change position", that panel prior was them as they were about to leave,
Kc1fGM7.png
Btw, this is what I mean by posting english scans, and then saying "nuh uh ya dont need to read them". Shit like this ain't slick dude, the moons wouldn't change positions in a whole 30 seconds. Unless those moons were orbiting at relativistic speeds, they wouldn't have changed like a whole day's worth, at a super messed up position too, it'd need to be like an asynchronous orbit, but why?

Except that isn't even true, the objects literally get mirrored, why? If they're orbiting it, in what situation would one be orbiting it so much quicker to completely overtake the other for that to occur? If what you're saying is true, and what we see is them directly parallel, then the masses wouldn't be that different, and neither the distances, so the orbital speed shouldn't be that drastically different?

It can't be due to the angle they left at, if it was, it wouldn't be mirrored, but upside down too. It just doesn't work.

But you've been arguing LoD is relative to distance though right? That implicates the planetary one is much closer despite being within pixels of the same size as the dark one, no?

Not how this works, if there's blatant contradictions, you don't get to go "uhm just ignore it lmao".

Especially given 90% of your examples is, in your own words, you simply assuming it to begin with.

No, I'm actually sick of this. Stop saying that's how they're consistently drawn, it's the minority, and all your examples are you presuming it at that, most of which shouldn't even be presumed to begin with because it's evident they aren't moons but just stars drawn in space.

All while ignoring what little scans do actually exist for this which makes it even more baffling.

Dude, spatial positioning is NOT the same as omitting details because things are far back and thus to small to properly draw on a sheet of paper.

If you drew a hyper detail skyscraper next to a house, and then in a different shot, even right after, you draw the skyscraper as just a rectangle and the house as a lil square. That's one thing, but you don't **** up the placements of them and have them be completely different from a second prior.

Dog they do not change positions in the time it takes Vegeta to stand up, say they're leaving, and then leave. Which everyone would know if you posted the english scans, that scene starts off midconvo, there's no time skip, jump, whatever, the moons did not change orbit and positions, sizes and placements within a 30 second back and forth.


Backpedaling, but let it be known you are agreeing those are the suns (which is ****** up because they're literally drawn the same way....).

The flash of light that is planet shaped? Coming from the planet? Are you legitimately arguing now that that said flash is millions of times bigger than Namek itself? Yet somehow STILL confirming to the planet's shape and gravity? There is no way 🗿

And this again goes back to your cherry picking. You used the anime right? Yet why are you ignoring that flash of light in the anime was only that?


Like yep, that's definitely millions of times bigger than the planet itself. Mind you even at max expansion, it's width doesn't extend beyond this. Why are you cherry picking?

This is backpedaling. You conceded those were suns, agree they're suns, but making up new excuses as to why it don't count (which is odd even given if we were to calc it, the end result wouldn't even change as the point of reference for the calcs would be the suns, not Namek itself).

Literally EVERY thing you've said this post, you've prefaced with "assume" or "assumption". I don't even have to say it, you've said it yourself.

90% of your own scans contradict you.
The anime is you cherry picking too, as established above.

All while ignoring every instance that doesn't align with your assumptions.

This isn't solid proof, it's just going off assumptions, that probably aren't true in most cases, and using that as hard evidence.

We love World of the Kai's.
We also love ignoring the various things the anime did in regards to Namek contradictory to the Namek in the manga, like removing the shots of the blatant suns post lore, which in itself is suspicious.
Or even just ignoring stuff like the above where the flash of light is literally just as big as Namek. Why is it ok to use the anime that blatantly veers off at times, but ignore it when it it shots you in the foot because you already admitted that they were stars so now you need to make an excuse for why Namek can't be scaled off it?

So no solid proof, and visual evidence based solely on your interpretation and assumptions.

You realize I could just go "nuh uh those stars" and it would have the exact same weight to it as your claims right? An Assumption isn't proof. Your opinion isn't proof. And when it isn't even consistent within itself and your own evidence, it most certainly isn't a rebuttal.

You say this, yet ignore the fact suns are also drawn like that. Other scenes? Lad in the same panels they're drawn the same way as stars, yet different from the planets and moons shown on said panel too.

If your whole argument hinges on visual illustrations, you've failed in that because you've proven stars and suns are almost universally drawn that way too, and ignoring how planets and moons are more often than not, not drawn like that.

For someone who argued "Toriyma just frugot" or "he just messed up positioning a bit", to argue that suddenly here it's different is pretty damn suspicious.

All while foregoing that your own scans, scans you admit to be stars so argument is over everyone, go home, were part of the "every time after" list of scans, and not some new meaningful info, STILL show Namek at an astronomical size and hell, would even still enable those blasts to be calced relative to the suns, just don't count because "oh nah the curvature we blatantly see? not namek, actually a million times bigger than namek tbh". And then conveniently ignore the anime, something you're now using as a crux despite it's blatant contradictions, shows that VERY scene, that flash of light, among other things, as not as large as you're assuming (again, assumption) to be?

No. there's no way this is an actual argument, and the worst part is, you're actively sabotaging any hard argument against Namek being that big, because if Namek just so happens to have 3 conveniently placed moons, but also 3 suns just a tad further out, you've just argued that it has a set of both, while arguing the moons that you claim to be there are not the blank white objects we also see at times, and thus both co-exist, and the "moons" don't conflict with the suns as they exist separately yet still at a scale Namek can be scaled off.

I legit don't get this, why even argue, you obviously don't want Namek to be that large, yet by just throwing out shit and seeing what sticks, you've given multiple examples and even explanations, unintentionally, that rebuke the opposing arguments ffs.

Early on, untill it isn't, buy not that that matters at all, I'm not repeating the same argument you've failed to even comment on like 5 times.

And other times but let's ignore those too 🗿

Lad, they are literally closer to it than some of your own examples where you say that a random white sphere in the void of space is a moon because it's "by" a planet.

And "suggesting", so not fact, but a presumption...
But even if we go with this presumption, it simultaneously proves the CRT and yet voids any of the moon arguments as above 🗿
This is not the flawless argument you think it is.

Oh so NOW that's how suns are depicted, now, ONLY now. Not the other Namek shots, not the numerous space shots, but simply here? No difference, just conveniently now?

I *******, I can't dudes, set me free.

Not going to say again how arguing they're suns is actually a good thing, and was part of the CRT's proposal anyway for those specific scans to be suns, among others, so really this is just agreeing with the CRT but **** me ig, I hate this argument. It's literally just you picking when shit is what to suit your point.

"These white spheres have detai-", no? If they're shown as white spheres they aren't being shown with detail. Kind of blatant paradoxical statement there.

Or do you mean early on? Namek having a moon doesn't contradict the 3 suns we see orbiting it, especially post 3 sun yap.

I mean, they're the same shit, you're just separating them and treating them as different things.


We have no idea how shit even works in Daima. Also, doesn't Daima LITERALLY have a planet so massive it has suns in it?

But sure, you concede your argument isn't at all based on

Scientific accuracy, and common sense, are very closely tied. It's common sense for [thing that is literally just how it works], my dude.

And if you're legitimately using Daima, you're digging yourself an even deeper hole.

What? Pretty sure Mercury being balls hot is common knowledge.
And lad, your very own scaling would constitute as "orbiting right next to you", twice as close as it is to Mercury, is very much right up a planet's ass. 7m km which you also gave, it just a few suns width away.

And ya know what's worse? If Namek WASN'T as big as being argued, the suns at that distance would eclipse most of the sky at all times because there'd be nowhere on the planet that's enough distance away from them for them to look only relatively big, as opposed to just the whole sky is a sun.

And that proves the CRT? They're all super close to Namek in said panels?

That's literally what it means, one of them must be next to or in front of it. If that's the case, Namek can be scaled off at least one of them. We'd pick the smallest to be safe.

The only way it wouldn't be the case, is if we didn't have the lore explaining the 3 suns and why Namek is always day. If we did not have that, we would just go they're random suns a billion miles away or some shit.

That isn't how this works. If Namek and one sun was shown. We can't say Namek is next to it or behind it. If two were shown, same thing. If all 3 were shown? We can because we have to because one must be in front or next to it.

If Namek is shown simultaneously with its suns, scaling becomes possible. Whether Namek is bigger, smaller, or just as big, doesn't matter. This doesn't change the fact Namek can be scaled, and if it just so happens to end up bigger, so be it.

Your entireargument is self admitted assumptions and other slop like inconsistencies in the same panels and yadda yadda, you get it, I get it, everyone gets it. Same shit.

We literally see it, including in the very panels you're now locked in arguing ARE in fact suns, but just to far away to matter.

Ignoring basic science is not common sense.

And what? We have no idea how big the Demon World is? In fact, what are you talking about? That's a normal sized sun in the Demon Realm? They never say it's small, you're making an assumption, again, that is never backed or sourced in literally anything, that doesn't even make sense in the cntext of the demon world anyway.

In fact the third demon world is the biggest one, literally encompassing the second demon world, which is filled with planets, of which some are even normal or larger in size. Yet you're arguing it's a tiny sun that is lighting up the world that eclipses countless planets?

How could a tiny sun that light up and give a functional day-night cycle to a world that is probably, at minimum, already bigger than most average stars simply based on the second demon world? Hell we even got statements how it would take days to cross it in high-tech ships, or how thousands of km, actual planetary distances, are but miniscule fractions of it?

So no, in fact if you want to use Daima, the exact opposite is proven true.


No dude, they're suns, literally drawn with
2vjCqL0.png


One of a bunch of blatant art dictating as such.

And from Daizenshuu
"Kaioshin Planet
Area: Afterlife
Special Characteristics: The planet that the kaioshin live on. It’s distinguished as a place with a pink sky and numerous suns. It is a very sturdy planet, and cannot be damaged easily. However, it suffered damage during the battle between Goku and Majin Buu (pure).
Battles: Son Goku vs. Majin Buu (pure)

Events: Kaioshin brought Gohan here in order to draw out the Z Sword. Also, after having his seal broken, the Elder Kaioshin powered up Gohan. Furthermore, it became the site of the final battle with Majin Buu. (Daizenshuu 4, p.73)"

I like how you just made an arbitrary assumption. Why mortal? We already know super huge planets exist?

I'm gonna re-enact the end of MGS4 ong.
"Assumption". Assumption isn't fact.

A big planet could be larger than a solar system, we don't know, there's nothing to go on beyond the fact we know planets can be so astronomically huge that the proposed Namek's size looks pathetic in comparison.

You don't get to go "oh well we have no idea how big a top end large one is, so surely they're smaller", we don't know. It isn't an argument both for and against. It's a literal nothing line.

Yeah with planets like Namek which have 3 suns and an eternal day which is literally not possible irl no matter how big it is 🗿

You are really locking in a statement about planets when a not even average planet in DBZ is multiple times earth, earth is considered pathetically small, and super ultra planets exist just fine constantly?

Because you ASSUME the details of a vague statement?

What? He's just talking about in reference to the villages? It's a one off line that's before the sun lore btw, where he's just like "damn this is a pain in the ass, oh well it could be worse".

The intent of the line is to show annoyance but acknowledge it isn't impossible.

Don't even start with the movement speed shit. Namek could be literally be star sized, and at the speed they're at, at said point, wouldn't make it unfeasible, it'd be a pain, but not impossible to travel a super planet, it'd just take some hours, which, is perfectly fine? It was already taking them awhile. When if Namek was earth sized, it shouldn't have taken Krillin two hours to go to a place that isn't even in the other side of the planet tbh.

Dodoria for example is explicitly faster than them at that point in movement, Krillin and Gohan even say as much and have to resort to Solar Flare because they were gonna get caught and killed otherwise, and Dodoria would have vastly exceeded Goku's flight speed at that point which thinking on it, why isn't that even calced? We see what Snake Way looks like, we can account for the curves he skipped just fine by drawing it out? Freeza and Zarbon, would be even quicker.

And no, them covering Earth doesn't really take long at all? At that point in the story, there was never a point where flying around earth to find dragon balls took any semblance of time at all, or flying around earth at all, assuming they weren't holding back or conserving energy.

Dude, your visual consistency is literally just your interpretation in and of itself.

Objective, is not "assumptions", which you have stated to be as such every argument.Ad again, your examples aren't even consistent within themselves. And you've conveniently, deliberately or not, excluded a bunch of space shots in said arc that displays said inconsistencies too.

Except when they aren't. Except when half your examples aren't even moons to begin with and ARE actually stars.

Sometimes they're not orbiting a planet too, sometimes they're super far away from the planet like half way across the panel too. You're cherry picking, and not even doing that good a job at it.

Except they don't. This is legit just wrong.

They don't show details, we see 3 blank white objects around Namek multiple times after the 3 sun yap gets dropped. They aren't given details, the fact they lack details is part of the problem in your incessant statements. And your rebuttal to that is simply "they're actually moons anyway".

There that word is again, "assume". Not fact, not anything, just more assumptions based solely on your, at this point, 8 layers of assumptions.

Because "they're illustrated a specific way", which is ****** up as you have multiple times in this very post, went back and forth saying what does and doesn't count and contradicting yourself. It's absolutely asinine.

The anime also cut every shot with the suns in question, contradicts you explicitly on your reason for why shots you DO agree with being the suns don't count, and has the problem with being aired and made alongside the manga and even overtaking it at points and thus didn't have that foresight.

Their possible existence?

I hate this I really do.

Your previous line was literally just stating it might possibly exist. Not that they do exist.

Namek, in the context of the manga, just so happens to have 3 moons.
They reveal Namek has 3 suns.
Every single shot afterward shows namek with 3, very blatantly drawn sun-like objects, as your very own scans would dictate contrary to your beliefs.
But apparently not, we just have to assume every time, they're secretly moons and not the 3 suns we know it has?

All because you assume, in your words, a bunch of disconnected facets to draw a conclusion that still ultimately boils down to "it might possibly be the case"?

No but it sure as hell would be mentioned in the Daizenshuu or something. It is never said.

This is like the 20th time you've admitted to your argument being an assumption.
This is like the 20th time you've just said words and arrived at a conclusion, based solely on your other inconsistent assumptions.
All while ignoring everything that contradicts or rebukes your argument.

And the fact you literally agreed we see 3 stars next to Namek at multiple points, but are now backpedaling in the very same post you've went on record saying as much multiple times.

Uh, yeah goddamn right? We don't work on assumptions. We don't enforce our own headcanon. We work with the facts we have. We do not do vast amounts of mental gymnastics, using disconnected scans and examples that contradict your very argument and claims anyway, to arrive at a different assumption.

This isn't how this works, calling shit a fallacy doesn't make you right. It's just obnoxious especially when I don't even have to accuse you doing nothing but assuming and going solely off your own personal, subjective, interpretation, because you've already admitted to it.

And ironically, all you've done is dismiss things that don't fit into your self-admitted presumptions. This is beyond hypocritical.

Oh so you admit it's just your interpretation, welp now I don't gotta feel bad for calling a duck a duck 🗿
But bluhbluh 50th time, your very visual evidence doesn't even work with you, if anything you've been showing planets and stars and moons in space shots get drawn a certain way pretty universally or at the very least drawn differently with enough difference to tell them distinctly apart.

And no you are indeed cherry picking.

Panel 1? We see a blatantly drawn planet. And white objects. Are those moons? No why would they be? The panel already gives ample detail to a planetary object, if they were intended to be moons, why not give them the same? Is it because they're close? Well it can't be that because one of the white spheres is on the other side of the panel not even close to the planet.

Panel 2? Are those white objects moons? No why the hell would they be? There isn't even a planet around for them to be orbiting, they're just in the middle of a starry backdrop, so why assume they're anything but just closer stars?

Panel 3? We literally see two planets/moons drawn, so why would the things you're claiming to be the same things not be drawn in the same way? It makes no sense.

Panel 4? More of the alleged moon-type objects, yet no planet in sight for them to be orbiting.

Panel 5? Just two randomly larger ones in the corner, no planet near by for either on either end of the panel. To make it worse, it's seconds before panel 2, yet no distinct moons/planet in either, only white spheres.

These are just panels directly connected to YOUR examples mind you, I could grab more.

Ok so now you AGREE it's consistent come a certain point, yet previously were saying the opposite?

Also that word again, "assume".

We literally don't do that it's considered its own canon here. And goddamn right it is, otherwise ** it, let's upgrade the manga Namek explosion to be like 4-B or something because the anime clarified the scope of it ig, or let's ignore the very explicit lore and, ironically, visuals, for the world of the kai's because the anime made them moons, went oops we **** up, and just ran with it too.

And no it isn't vague, it's pretty straightforward you've just established a whole disconnected line of reasoning based on numerous assumptions and interpretations to arrive at a "possibly", and are treating that as a solid rebuttal.

Ok so now you agree they're being shown as suns?
No it very much does invalidate it, if we know Namek has 3 suns, and every time that lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn around 3 sun like objects you just conceded to being exactly that, it means exactly that, your interpretation gets thrown out the window.

But really, show me one instance post 3 sun drop, where they're depicted as anything different. If you can't, even the mere argument of "retcon" is sufficient. I'm not here to humor presumptions. Especially not when you've literally gave an argument yourself that would make moons not effect the 3 sun panels anyway.


Interpretation again, and lad, we have guides. Ignoring the fact the manga actually does explain stuff like that.

Your objective evidence is assumptions, you've said so yourself. Assumptions aren't objective. That isn't what that word entails.

And sick of saying it, but your alleged evidence if anything supports the opposite.

Only if you ignore the numerous times moons aren't depicted as that.
Ignore the actual facts and info we have.
Just assume random white spheres in space shots are moons even when we see other moons and planets on panel showing us that they aren't the same thing.
Assume they're moons when there's not even a planet in sight.
Make actual excuses for all the blatant contradictions in your own scans (yeah moons really moved orbits in a few seconds).
i could go on, it's baffling. Like

Freeza planet, one of your main examples
NhIqt7y.png


You're legitimately arguing those white spheres moons? Why? We can SEE the moons it has, they're drawn completely differently, same way as the planet even. If those white spheres were meant to be moons, they'd be given the gradient that rockey celestial objects in that same panel are given. And given your focus on light sources and cascading shadows.... The location and angles of the big white spheres, coincide with the lit up parts of the planets surface, and the dark part lacks any of them at that angle. So ya know what? Based on your own types of arguments, those white objects would be stars, as they're drawn distinct from what we know to be a moon and even the shading is consistent with it. But apparently, they're moons too, actual consistent be damned, surely stars can't be drawn closer, especially if we're talking about that solar system's actual sun.

Do you not see why your alleged evidence doesn't even make sense within itself?

Yeah no this ain't funny. Stop wasting my time.

Your entire argument is self admitted assumptions layered on top of more.

You literally admit it's all just your interpretation and assumptions. It's quite literally "vibes".

Who the hell says we need Occam's Razor? That only applies in lack of concrete info. If we DIDNT know Namek had 3 suns orbiting it making it always day, you'd be right, we wouldn't be saying that, but in that same vain, this would never have been a topic to begin with.

Actual proof. I'm not doing this shit with you again. I don't want your opinion, cherry picking, double standards, or dismissing of blatant contradictions in your own evidence. I want actual, not debatable proof within the manga canon, or at least a manga guide.

I ALSO want to point out that due to how Namek's cycle works, we should ALWAYS see one of its suns behind it too, so it's not like they should be off screen no? The back has to be lit up too. And the arguments presented here would still enable scaling the blasts and shit off the stars, especially if "oh the explosions/light just eclipsed the planet a billion times over and despite still following the planet's curvature, is actually a million times bigger than it".

Also, again, Namek having moons/planets, doesn't change that we see 3 suns by it either, nor does it mean that the existence of any directly correlates to 3 of them even if true, something you yourself have proven in the worst case scenario.

Don't even know what's the topic but i feel like you're right.
 
What? No. Only ONE has to be shown in front. At minimum. Two can be in front just fine. It's only a problem if all three are shown in front because then the back would be dark.

One in front is just the minimum. Two could also be in front of it and one is behind it. We don't know, so we don't assume, we just know for a fact one must be.

So we see a sun at different parts of the planet?

And?

Unless all three are shown simultaneously in the sky, Nothing changes, and more of this interpretative drawing shit.

I'm not ASKING you. You post english scans for people to read, or stop posting.

I have to take you word for it, I'm not going to take your word for it.
Post english, or stop posting on the english forum in a debate with english speaking people. Your lack of actually complying has been relevant at least twice, where the actual stated dialogue contradicts or rebukes the argument you have been making.

Not sufficient. And I'm not taking your word for anything either. You're forcing me to waste my time to look shit up when you should be posting them to begin with.
Your context is heavily opinionated, you've actively proven that time and time again.

You can't include information that doesn't even exist. Freeza planet for example has no such lore, actually it does, it's part of a duel planet system, which is in fact shown in the scans. Which, actually doesn't support your claim at all that the white object, is a moon. In fact it pretty explicitly confirms it isn't a moon because we know how many it has. That being two.

What the hell are you talking about? It's LITERALLY every time.
7ox5Cfg.png


That isn't true, at no point do they say anything about moons in the majority of the scans.

Why would they ever anyway? That don't say "oh this random no-named planet we just flew by has these specific moons", they don't even say anything about Freeza planet.

Confirmation and your personal opinion, are not the same thing.

Except half the time they aren't even oddly placed around the planets, a chunk of them are just off in the expanse.

Occam's Razor would tell you the blatantly and differently drawn white sphere objects would be stars, not planets and moons, when said panels also show planets and moons drawn completely differently.

Your opinion, because this is all this is, is not fact. I do not want your opinion, I want actual proof. If your entire argument hinges on "i THINK this is", that isn't good enough.

To bad? You don't think? Isn't good enough, and that's all your arguments have been, simply what you think, not what is actually proven.

It's a real, existing, place, shit needs to be drawn remotely to scale. Not literally hundreds of times off.

Jupiter is Jupiter.

Ok then where's Jupiter's other dozens of moons? Jupiter doesn't have just 4 moons, it has almost a hundred. Are you going to say only specifically 4 where drawn off scale just because?

And again, this isn't an argument, you're presuming. This isn't fact, you're legit just saying "They're moons. They're moons because art is bad". Even though it's just as likely they're some stars in the background, given they're drawn like stars, and if it was Jupiter's moons, the scale is hilariously wrong, let alone the positioning, and the only argument you have to warrant that, falls flat when you remember Jupiter has so many moons that you'd legit then be arguing only a FEW of the moons were drawn off to scale while the others weren't making your very own reasoning inconsistent within itself.


7ox5Cfg.png

Get used to this scan.
They literally are. The only reason you're saying they aren't is because you're saying they're moons, and because they're moons they can't be stars. Based on the fact, they're moons? No, what the hell? You're just saying words, and then concluding it's the case so it can't be the other thing.

This is a bad argument. The simplest assumption would be they're stars because that's what stars even on those very panels look like, and sometimes even the preceding page like the above one.

No, the simplest assumption isn't the most plausible, that's a fallacious argument in and of itself. Something can be simple, and be completely wrong once you actually look over the context and details, notwithstanding your arguments have been mostly interpretation, assumptions, and cherry picking combined.

Especially if they've already been illustrated that way? The same applies to suns and stars, so by your own logic they're stars. Your argument hinges on a double standard that only exists because you're presuming them to be something and then concluding your verdict without any real proof.

And orbiting around planets? Who's to say they're even orbiting them? That's ONLY the case with Namek because we know how it's day-night cycle works so we know one must be in the foreground at minimum. This isn't the case for other stuff. A white sphere being drawn next to a random planet in space, or in some cases not even near it, there's often quite a gap, doesn't mean it's in front of next to it. They could be billions of miles back for all we know. You're making extra assumptions.

Literally EVERY example you've given shows at least some. And if you look over the manga, you'd see a bunch more too. Do I really need to go grab every time?

An assumption? That ain't a solid argument.
Reasonable and actually being the case are not the same thing. It isn't reasonable because for it to be reasonable you have to completely ignore that

1. Suns and stars are also drawn that way, often in the same panel.

2. Moons and planets wouldn't even be visible in 99% of the shots given the relative fly-by distance to planets in said examples.

3. Planets and moons are drawn on the same pages and they're drawn completely differently.

And being more abundant means nothing, you know what's also true? The fact you can actually see countless suns and stars in space but not other planets and moons at a distance. Being more abundant means nothing at all if we're talking about what would be more abundantly visible.

Dude, that specific object is LITERALLY given the same texture gradient as EARTH'S SUN is, in the fight literally a few chapters prior. which you posted.

We're going to say that the object drawn that way is yeah, which is the entire premise of your own argument anyway.

There, you just confirmed it again. An ASSUMPTION. I don't want an assumption, I want proof. Your arguments are merely you assuming things, often while contradicting yourself.

And this is essentially conceding to cherry picking.

You admit moons have been drawn differently.

But because they've been rarely drawn like that, which fyi, it isn't "generally", it's pretty damn rare, made even worse as the majority of your examples you're even using aren't even moons anyway, in some they are in fact suns, or there's literally no info to go on so calling them anything is simply headcanon and assuming, ie, not an actual argument because me saying nuh uh they arent moons has just as much backing.

Lad, this entire chunk of text had you admit to you just assuming, and cherry picking examples, You don't get to "therefore". Especially because unlike your presumptuous arguments, there's actual stated lore here.

Except when they aren't. In multiple of your shots given, they're drawn like half the panel away, or even further.

In fact, in some of the shots, the tiny specks that I will trust you aren't going to say are also moons, are drawn in-between the alleged "moon" and planets. Are those actually just smaller moons too?

If everything argument hinges on "I think" and not "is", there's nothing to argue. I'm not here for conjecture.

But speaking of coincidences, ain't it odd how every time after the 3 sun lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects consistently?

You have no clue what the word objective means holy hell.

That's the thing, your entire argument is solely relying on illustrations. that's literally all you have, you just conceded that's not a good approach, you straight up stated this is a bad way of arguing.

You don't HAVE supporting evidence. You just assume that's what they are, end of, you don't have anything saying "this random thing is a moon/planet", you just go "oh yep that's a moon, and because it's drawn like a star, moons can be drawn like that".


I already said the anime wasn't gonna fly, because we're talking about the manga. That's, also not good?
Fg41XDf.png
The two darkened objects, coincide with the anime's moons there? The white objects? Do not. They're blatantly stars in the anime too. You're rebuking your own point.

I also said I'd be against using this for the anime, so yep. The anime lacks any of the sun shots too making it worse for them.

And yeah, the anime, which was aired while the manga was being drawn and didn't have the foresight or knowledge of how things would have been.

The anime actively cut every shot with the orbiting suns in it, isn't it odd? How every shot after the manga drops the sun lore, where we see what is evidently suns, the anime, which had already locked in, simply opts not to show those scenes?

It's almost like


this wouldn't be the last time either the anime incorrectly surmised what a celestial object is meant to be (those are very explicitly suns in the manga canon, flatout stated in multiple guides even).

Except EVERYTIME after the sun lore gets dropped, Namek is shown with 3 detailess objects near it. You're effectively agreeing they're drawn how they "should" be.

That isn't even true.


Here's a space shot. From that saga.

See this? Nothing but white objects, a starry sky. But there's a few white objects drawn at different scales too, some decently big.

Are these moons too? Your argument just above was "they're drawn "close" to planets so they're moons", but there's no planets in this panel? Are they just moons off in the middle of space for the hell of it then? Pretty huge stretch in logic don't you think? That a panel that is literally just stars, at varying sizes, just so happens to have the funny white dots too, yet no real planet in sight for them to even be orbiting to be reasonably called moons?

Majin Buu Saga actually goes wild because Kai's World has suns out the ass drawn exactly like that.

Which is my point, if you LITERALLY see planets and moons on the same pages, and they're drawn not like that, why the hell are you assuming they're moons or planets? If they were moons or planets they'd be drawn like the moons and planets we already see.

You actually do to an extent, and you most certainly would in deep space travel across a galaxy, at some point you're going to nearing or passing by other solar systems so some stars would look much closer.

Given this ENTIRE topic is about a solar system with three suns anyway at worst, this argument doesn't even make sense.

Except that again, isn't even true, the "white distant points" in and of themselves are variable sizes to denote scale and depth.

Here, that panel from that same saga. Notice how the very blatantly stars, only stars btw we don't see anything resembling a planet or moon, so you can't pull the "well they're drawn "close" to a planet so they must be moons", are drawn in varying sizes, from tiny, to medium, to decently big too? Same scale as the Namekian shots even, or even some of your own examples?

You can't say these are just moons, you also can't even cop out an argument saying they're just detailess planets because at that point you're just throwing shit and seeing what sticks as me and you both know damn well if they were meant to be planets they'd be drawn as such, like here.

So no, don't follow the same pattern, you've just been cherry picking panels, and concluding they're moons, even though in the very same panels, it isn't even consistent with how the non-star like celestial objects get drawn.

You're cherry picking what is already inconsistent evidence.

And there's that word again "the assumption", I don't want an assumption. I want proof. Especially not proof that has been you foregoing panels that prove this line of thought bunk like the multiple other space shots you haven't included from that same saga where we see those exact same type of white dots, among stars, and only stars, with no planet to orbit in sight.

And proximity?
7WktKZC.png


Take the Jupiter example. Why is one of the farther away larger dots the EXACT same size, as one of the objects you've been calling a moon? Or that triple set between them?

Is that a moon too? It's the same scale as that close one? But why would it be a moon, Jupiter doesn't have any moons triple its distance that are even perceptible? So why the inconsistency? Why the contradiction? If we can be sure that far away one is just a star in the background, why is the object the same size as it up close to it, also not just a star but actually an impossibly big moon that Jupiter doesn't even actually have? As opposed to just being a star in the background that's drawn at a different scale as literally every panel with stars in the manga in space shots do, because let's not forget, the stars in a backdrop are never drawn identically in size between all of them, they're always drawn at different sizes to convey varying distances.

There's more like that, some are even worse where the alleged would-be moon is on the other side of the panel even.

"the assumption", and there it is again.
Why am I even arguing with you ffs you've literally just confirmed like 5 times you're assuming stuff.

As above, the simplest is "usually" the correct one, only works when there isn't extra info to go on, which we have in this case, as Namek's lore is explicit with its 3 suns, and thus when after every point we get a space shot we see 3 sun-like objects near it, every time, that conflicts with Occam's Razor as there's other info that no longer makes things just throwing shit at the wall.

That is not withstanding your assumption here, is based on two more layers of assumptions, which you in this very post conceded to being assumptions, as opposed to based on solid fact.

That logic is actively why this argument is bad. If you consider how all the other objects in the panel are illustrated, then they're blatantly not planets or moons because we see other physical celestial objects on said panels, and they're drawn completely differently. But the stars? About the same, just at varying scales. And do we know Toriyama draws stars like that, even among starry skies?
8dv0TD8.png


Yep we do (I would grab more but I'm not reading the whole ass manga to grab more scans of the obvious).

If your entire argument is solely based on assumptions and GUESSING stuff and presuming what shit is, that isn't an argument.

What the hell, you just disagreed with yourself. "If moons and planets get drawn with details, then white dots are moons".

What am I even arguing at this point, it doesn't even make sense. And hey look, there it is again, "assumption".

????
You're literally arguing against yourself. You just gave perfect reasoning as to why NOT to assume they're moons, only to go "but they're moons tho".

You're arguing that if an object is close to be drawn with detail on the same panel, they would NOT be treated with little to no detail like stars.
You say because in the SAME PANEL they show it's not the case with other moons and stars.
Ergo, we assume they're moons and not stars?

What? If they're close enough to be seen, drawn large enough, and are meant to be moons, and the same panel shows planets and moons elsewhere with detail, they'd also be given detail to coincide with the others to make it clear they're also moons or whatever. If they aren't, then they aren't and are just stars like the rest of the dozens drawn on the same panel?

This argument legitimately makes no sense wtf.

"Hey btw, Namek has specifically 3 suns, just 3 btw, oh btw every time after this we're gonna draw 3 objects around Namek in this exact configuration but exactly like stars".
Is pretty straightforward, I wouldn't even call it an assumption. It's simply going off the very explicit hard stated info we have, as opposed to Namek also having 3 celestial objects around it that aren't suns too which is never stated.

Based on how they're illustrated, yet you ignore how they're illustrated every time after the fact? You're trying to have your cake and eat it too, you very own arguments can be used against it.

The most consistent interpretation? Namek is actually shown with the 3-sun like objects more if we're talking consistency. As said, it is every time after the lore gets dropped. Contrary to 3. Yes 3 I counted, in the early chapters before the sun revelation was revealed. From that point on, never again.

And given your logic here is based on literally 4-5 layers of assumptions, which also have major flaws in them, I'm not so sure I'd call this reasonable let alone CRT worthy. I don't even want to get into the "moons at other parts of the manga", as that is still your assuming stuff and often aren't even correct in said assumption regardless, and is a minority.

How are we foregoing the like 8 times Namek is drawn with 3 sun-like objects without any merit of detail because that matters apparently.

I'm convinced you don't even know what the argument is at this point.

What the ****? Literally everything you've said this post has been STRICTLY THAT, it isn't me arguing that, it's you. If you think that's a bad argument, then that saves me the time of saying it because you've just called your entire premise bad.

No lad, we have explicit stated info, namek has 3 suns, thus, an eternal day.
Every time after, Namek is shown with 3 sun-like objects orbiting it.
You yourself had conceded on the fact that some panels almost certainly show 3 suns around it just "a bit further out", which, still proves the CRT's proposal correct.

But because moons, rarely, can be drawn like suns/stars get drawn, they're moons. This is ignoring the relevant lore, even potential retcons as DBZ ain't no stranger to that, especially mid-writing, based solely on, what you, yourself, have confirmed to be assumptions on top of assumptions, based on panels that aren't even consistent with your own arguments? Nah man that shit is on you.

What? Literally never once was any object by Namek drawn like a moon after the sun lore is mentioned. This isn't up for debate, it never happens.

Unless you mean "no detail, sun-like white spheres" to be "moons", but you already admitted to just making numerous assumptions to come to that line of thought based on panels that contradict you even. All while ignoring that suns are also drawn the way you claim moons to be for some reason, making your entire argument, hinged on assumptions, headcanon and cherry picking, to be at best just a "maybe".

You mean most. And least of all, none in your examples, which is the worst part. You aren't even giving the scans that do exist that corroborate your point, but are instead giving panels that contradict your point, and saying these specific shots are what support you. It legit makes no sense and makes it evident this argument is less an argument, and more just grasping at straws.

And fifth time now, everytime after the fact we're told Namek has 3 suns, that we see 3 sun-like objects by it, is not "Namek's suns are pretty consistently drawn like moons", but the exact opposite, they're consistently not drawn like that, never drawn like that even after a certain point, are consistently drawn the way stars get drawn, and to make matters worse? Given you want to keep arguing Namek has 3 moons specifically, it can still have 3 moons alongside the 3 suns we get shown, ESPECIALLY because you yourself has argued that Namek does have 3 suns, they're just a bit further out and even drew lines to the things.

Holy hell there it is again, "assumption".

And no that's all you've been doing, in almost every example you've given, it's been calling objects without detail moons. Even WHEN they're drawn large enough to be given ample detail.

No they aren't, it literally never happens.
Every single time, they're drawn as blank spheres.

To say "they're still depicted as moons", is objectively false, and I know you know that, because you've even sent panels you've conceeded on being stars. It never happens, why you're saying it happens, I'd call even straight up lying, unless I'm just forgetting a scan, but I've skimmed that shit like 4 times now, not once can I recall does it happen.

The full context of the illustrations? The ONLY context we have is Namek has 3 suns and thus an eternal day.
Meanwhile every piece of evidence you've given has been prefaced with "assumption", as opposed to "based on what we actually know". And the other scans, is just you asserting they must be moons, despite the blatant contradictions in those very same scans.


The anime? What? The anime literally never draws them like that, ever. And in the case of Namek, they outright removed any of the post sun lore sun scenes, probably to avoid contradictions if anything with what they already went with or to avoid confusion.

And manga? You're cherry picking, end of. You're ignoring the majority of how they're illustrated, using scans you don't even know for a fact what they are, and then just claiming they're moons.

The preconceived notion is the very fact you're assuming things to be moons to begin with despite the contrary evidence in those very same scans. And your reasoning doesn't even work for why either. Bigger white spheres? We see stars get drawn in different sizes all the time in starry sky backdrops in the manga. Near planets? That isn't even true half the time and can just as easily be stars in the background just closer. They drawn like planets/moons? Wrong again, half the time we see moons/planets on that same panel drawn and they're drawn demonstrably different, even when the moon/planet is SMALLER than the white object, making the size to draw excuse not applicable. I could go on, I don't have to though because you've said yourself at every point you're just making an assumption.

The anime actually implicates they're whole-ass planets.
But, again, umpteenth time, they aren't in the manga.

In much the same way the Planet of the Kai's has moons in the anime, in the manga they're explicitly stars.
The anime locking in because it was being done as the manga was and often overtook the manga and thus filler, is not a good indication if the sun shit came in half way through the saga.

I said before, long before you showed up, I'd be against the anime Namek being treated like this. This isn't new info, it's conflating canons.

8dv0TD8.png


Why even say things you know aren't true. Hell this is ONE page before one of your own examples, I KNOW you know of this shot, and there's a bunch more like it too.

Stop cherry picking, and stop trying to say things as if we haven't read the manga.

Like in this shot, where's the planets? Why's that one drawn next to stars anyway? Are you going to still call them moons? Or maybe you're going to call them planets now? Just planets drawn without any semblance of detail despite them being drawn large enough to easily be given some?

And yet, never again after the sun information is dropped.

The anime is not the manga.

Hell whatever happened to not using the anime anyway? So much for that, I'll keep that in mind. Fortunately the existence of the Land of the Kai's makes using the anime for this type of argument very, very, dubious. In fact the anime removing all the panels in which the 3 star-like objects are blatantly shown, is suspicious in and of itself. Why, do you think they removed them? If they were meant to be planets at that point, why not keep them in and just draw them as planets now? They didn't.

And you keep saying they resemble stars in shape (no shit), but left out how they're drawn like them too, consistently after a certain point, based on evidence from the anime or before that info is revealed? And the only context we have is literally the sun lore, your assumptions aren't context.

Dude, when I could legitimately just say "lmao retcon" and it wouldn't even be wrong, there's an issue with your evidence's placement. You need evidence post sun lore.

But the worst part is? This doesn't disprove the sun thing, Namek can have moons yet still have stars, which, funnily enough, just your prior post you argued "those 3 objects weren't suns, THESE the suns" in a panel where they're drawn a tad further away.... While still showing Namek eclipsing them in size? So what's even the argument? You've proven that no matter the case, even if Namek just so happens to have 3 planets up its ass, it still has 3 suns it can be scaled off?

That has absolutely nothing to do with my argument.

My argument was that the thing you're calling a moon CAN'T be the planetary looking body seen from the ground shot based on a slew of reasons.

"it looks like-", except that doesn't rebuke or even comment on the fact that object isn't the big white object shown the next page you're claiming to be the same thing.

No it doesn't?

Did you really just ignore all the issues I just outlined to go "well uh, no"?

Positioning is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
The size is impossible and contradicts the former panel.
It's very position and size, relative to the OTHER object we see, is impossible and contradicts the prior panel.
Etc.

It isn't the same object, it can't be. Nothing lines up, and it is the SAME spread, do you really think Toriyama messed up that badly when he would have just finished drawing it and even looking at it still?

Moons don't change position that quickly. And no, they didn't "change position", that panel prior was them as they were about to leave,
Kc1fGM7.png
Btw, this is what I mean by posting english scans, and then saying "nuh uh ya dont need to read them". Shit like this ain't slick dude, the moons wouldn't change positions in a whole 30 seconds. Unless those moons were orbiting at relativistic speeds, they wouldn't have changed like a whole day's worth, at a super messed up position too, it'd need to be like an asynchronous orbit, but why?

Except that isn't even true, the objects literally get mirrored, why? If they're orbiting it, in what situation would one be orbiting it so much quicker to completely overtake the other for that to occur? If what you're saying is true, and what we see is them directly parallel, then the masses wouldn't be that different, and neither the distances, so the orbital speed shouldn't be that drastically different?

It can't be due to the angle they left at, if it was, it wouldn't be mirrored, but upside down too. It just doesn't work.

But you've been arguing LoD is relative to distance though right? That implicates the planetary one is much closer despite being within pixels of the same size as the dark one, no?

Not how this works, if there's blatant contradictions, you don't get to go "uhm just ignore it lmao".

Especially given 90% of your examples is, in your own words, you simply assuming it to begin with.

No, I'm actually sick of this. Stop saying that's how they're consistently drawn, it's the minority, and all your examples are you presuming it at that, most of which shouldn't even be presumed to begin with because it's evident they aren't moons but just stars drawn in space.

All while ignoring what little scans do actually exist for this which makes it even more baffling.

Dude, spatial positioning is NOT the same as omitting details because things are far back and thus to small to properly draw on a sheet of paper.

If you drew a hyper detail skyscraper next to a house, and then in a different shot, even right after, you draw the skyscraper as just a rectangle and the house as a lil square. That's one thing, but you don't **** up the placements of them and have them be completely different from a second prior.

Dog they do not change positions in the time it takes Vegeta to stand up, say they're leaving, and then leave. Which everyone would know if you posted the english scans, that scene starts off midconvo, there's no time skip, jump, whatever, the moons did not change orbit and positions, sizes and placements within a 30 second back and forth.


Backpedaling, but let it be known you are agreeing those are the suns (which is ****** up because they're literally drawn the same way....).

The flash of light that is planet shaped? Coming from the planet? Are you legitimately arguing now that that said flash is millions of times bigger than Namek itself? Yet somehow STILL confirming to the planet's shape and gravity? There is no way 🗿

And this again goes back to your cherry picking. You used the anime right? Yet why are you ignoring that flash of light in the anime was only that?


Like yep, that's definitely millions of times bigger than the planet itself. Mind you even at max expansion, it's width doesn't extend beyond this. Why are you cherry picking?

This is backpedaling. You conceded those were suns, agree they're suns, but making up new excuses as to why it don't count (which is odd even given if we were to calc it, the end result wouldn't even change as the point of reference for the calcs would be the suns, not Namek itself).

Literally EVERY thing you've said this post, you've prefaced with "assume" or "assumption". I don't even have to say it, you've said it yourself.

90% of your own scans contradict you.
The anime is you cherry picking too, as established above.

All while ignoring every instance that doesn't align with your assumptions.

This isn't solid proof, it's just going off assumptions, that probably aren't true in most cases, and using that as hard evidence.

We love World of the Kai's.
We also love ignoring the various things the anime did in regards to Namek contradictory to the Namek in the manga, like removing the shots of the blatant suns post lore, which in itself is suspicious.
Or even just ignoring stuff like the above where the flash of light is literally just as big as Namek. Why is it ok to use the anime that blatantly veers off at times, but ignore it when it it shots you in the foot because you already admitted that they were stars so now you need to make an excuse for why Namek can't be scaled off it?

So no solid proof, and visual evidence based solely on your interpretation and assumptions.

You realize I could just go "nuh uh those stars" and it would have the exact same weight to it as your claims right? An Assumption isn't proof. Your opinion isn't proof. And when it isn't even consistent within itself and your own evidence, it most certainly isn't a rebuttal.

You say this, yet ignore the fact suns are also drawn like that. Other scenes? Lad in the same panels they're drawn the same way as stars, yet different from the planets and moons shown on said panel too.

If your whole argument hinges on visual illustrations, you've failed in that because you've proven stars and suns are almost universally drawn that way too, and ignoring how planets and moons are more often than not, not drawn like that.

For someone who argued "Toriyma just frugot" or "he just messed up positioning a bit", to argue that suddenly here it's different is pretty damn suspicious.

All while foregoing that your own scans, scans you admit to be stars so argument is over everyone, go home, were part of the "every time after" list of scans, and not some new meaningful info, STILL show Namek at an astronomical size and hell, would even still enable those blasts to be calced relative to the suns, just don't count because "oh nah the curvature we blatantly see? not namek, actually a million times bigger than namek tbh". And then conveniently ignore the anime, something you're now using as a crux despite it's blatant contradictions, shows that VERY scene, that flash of light, among other things, as not as large as you're assuming (again, assumption) to be?

No. there's no way this is an actual argument, and the worst part is, you're actively sabotaging any hard argument against Namek being that big, because if Namek just so happens to have 3 conveniently placed moons, but also 3 suns just a tad further out, you've just argued that it has a set of both, while arguing the moons that you claim to be there are not the blank white objects we also see at times, and thus both co-exist, and the "moons" don't conflict with the suns as they exist separately yet still at a scale Namek can be scaled off.

I legit don't get this, why even argue, you obviously don't want Namek to be that large, yet by just throwing out shit and seeing what sticks, you've given multiple examples and even explanations, unintentionally, that rebuke the opposing arguments ffs.

Early on, untill it isn't, buy not that that matters at all, I'm not repeating the same argument you've failed to even comment on like 5 times.

And other times but let's ignore those too 🗿

Lad, they are literally closer to it than some of your own examples where you say that a random white sphere in the void of space is a moon because it's "by" a planet.

And "suggesting", so not fact, but a presumption...
But even if we go with this presumption, it simultaneously proves the CRT and yet voids any of the moon arguments as above 🗿
This is not the flawless argument you think it is.

Oh so NOW that's how suns are depicted, now, ONLY now. Not the other Namek shots, not the numerous space shots, but simply here? No difference, just conveniently now?

I *******, I can't dudes, set me free.

Not going to say again how arguing they're suns is actually a good thing, and was part of the CRT's proposal anyway for those specific scans to be suns, among others, so really this is just agreeing with the CRT but **** me ig, I hate this argument. It's literally just you picking when shit is what to suit your point.

"These white spheres have detai-", no? If they're shown as white spheres they aren't being shown with detail. Kind of blatant paradoxical statement there.

Or do you mean early on? Namek having a moon doesn't contradict the 3 suns we see orbiting it, especially post 3 sun yap.

I mean, they're the same shit, you're just separating them and treating them as different things.


We have no idea how shit even works in Daima. Also, doesn't Daima LITERALLY have a planet so massive it has suns in it?

But sure, you concede your argument isn't at all based on

Scientific accuracy, and common sense, are very closely tied. It's common sense for [thing that is literally just how it works], my dude.

And if you're legitimately using Daima, you're digging yourself an even deeper hole.

What? Pretty sure Mercury being balls hot is common knowledge.
And lad, your very own scaling would constitute as "orbiting right next to you", twice as close as it is to Mercury, is very much right up a planet's ass. 7m km which you also gave, it just a few suns width away.

And ya know what's worse? If Namek WASN'T as big as being argued, the suns at that distance would eclipse most of the sky at all times because there'd be nowhere on the planet that's enough distance away from them for them to look only relatively big, as opposed to just the whole sky is a sun.

And that proves the CRT? They're all super close to Namek in said panels?

That's literally what it means, one of them must be next to or in front of it. If that's the case, Namek can be scaled off at least one of them. We'd pick the smallest to be safe.

The only way it wouldn't be the case, is if we didn't have the lore explaining the 3 suns and why Namek is always day. If we did not have that, we would just go they're random suns a billion miles away or some shit.

That isn't how this works. If Namek and one sun was shown. We can't say Namek is next to it or behind it. If two were shown, same thing. If all 3 were shown? We can because we have to because one must be in front or next to it.

If Namek is shown simultaneously with its suns, scaling becomes possible. Whether Namek is bigger, smaller, or just as big, doesn't matter. This doesn't change the fact Namek can be scaled, and if it just so happens to end up bigger, so be it.

Your entireargument is self admitted assumptions and other slop like inconsistencies in the same panels and yadda yadda, you get it, I get it, everyone gets it. Same shit.

We literally see it, including in the very panels you're now locked in arguing ARE in fact suns, but just to far away to matter.

Ignoring basic science is not common sense.

And what? We have no idea how big the Demon World is? In fact, what are you talking about? That's a normal sized sun in the Demon Realm? They never say it's small, you're making an assumption, again, that is never backed or sourced in literally anything, that doesn't even make sense in the cntext of the demon world anyway.

In fact the third demon world is the biggest one, literally encompassing the second demon world, which is filled with planets, of which some are even normal or larger in size. Yet you're arguing it's a tiny sun that is lighting up the world that eclipses countless planets?

How could a tiny sun that light up and give a functional day-night cycle to a world that is probably, at minimum, already bigger than most average stars simply based on the second demon world? Hell we even got statements how it would take days to cross it in high-tech ships, or how thousands of km, actual planetary distances, are but miniscule fractions of it?

So no, in fact if you want to use Daima, the exact opposite is proven true.


No dude, they're suns, literally drawn with
2vjCqL0.png


One of a bunch of blatant art dictating as such.

And from Daizenshuu
"Kaioshin Planet
Area: Afterlife
Special Characteristics: The planet that the kaioshin live on. It’s distinguished as a place with a pink sky and numerous suns. It is a very sturdy planet, and cannot be damaged easily. However, it suffered damage during the battle between Goku and Majin Buu (pure).
Battles: Son Goku vs. Majin Buu (pure)

Events: Kaioshin brought Gohan here in order to draw out the Z Sword. Also, after having his seal broken, the Elder Kaioshin powered up Gohan. Furthermore, it became the site of the final battle with Majin Buu. (Daizenshuu 4, p.73)"

I like how you just made an arbitrary assumption. Why mortal? We already know super huge planets exist?

I'm gonna re-enact the end of MGS4 ong.
"Assumption". Assumption isn't fact.

A big planet could be larger than a solar system, we don't know, there's nothing to go on beyond the fact we know planets can be so astronomically huge that the proposed Namek's size looks pathetic in comparison.

You don't get to go "oh well we have no idea how big a top end large one is, so surely they're smaller", we don't know. It isn't an argument both for and against. It's a literal nothing line.

Yeah with planets like Namek which have 3 suns and an eternal day which is literally not possible irl no matter how big it is 🗿

You are really locking in a statement about planets when a not even average planet in DBZ is multiple times earth, earth is considered pathetically small, and super ultra planets exist just fine constantly?

Because you ASSUME the details of a vague statement?

What? He's just talking about in reference to the villages? It's a one off line that's before the sun lore btw, where he's just like "damn this is a pain in the ass, oh well it could be worse".

The intent of the line is to show annoyance but acknowledge it isn't impossible.

Don't even start with the movement speed shit. Namek could be literally be star sized, and at the speed they're at, at said point, wouldn't make it unfeasible, it'd be a pain, but not impossible to travel a super planet, it'd just take some hours, which, is perfectly fine? It was already taking them awhile. When if Namek was earth sized, it shouldn't have taken Krillin two hours to go to a place that isn't even in the other side of the planet tbh.

Dodoria for example is explicitly faster than them at that point in movement, Krillin and Gohan even say as much and have to resort to Solar Flare because they were gonna get caught and killed otherwise, and Dodoria would have vastly exceeded Goku's flight speed at that point which thinking on it, why isn't that even calced? We see what Snake Way looks like, we can account for the curves he skipped just fine by drawing it out? Freeza and Zarbon, would be even quicker.

And no, them covering Earth doesn't really take long at all? At that point in the story, there was never a point where flying around earth to find dragon balls took any semblance of time at all, or flying around earth at all, assuming they weren't holding back or conserving energy.

Dude, your visual consistency is literally just your interpretation in and of itself.

Objective, is not "assumptions", which you have stated to be as such every argument.Ad again, your examples aren't even consistent within themselves. And you've conveniently, deliberately or not, excluded a bunch of space shots in said arc that displays said inconsistencies too.

Except when they aren't. Except when half your examples aren't even moons to begin with and ARE actually stars.

Sometimes they're not orbiting a planet too, sometimes they're super far away from the planet like half way across the panel too. You're cherry picking, and not even doing that good a job at it.

Except they don't. This is legit just wrong.

They don't show details, we see 3 blank white objects around Namek multiple times after the 3 sun yap gets dropped. They aren't given details, the fact they lack details is part of the problem in your incessant statements. And your rebuttal to that is simply "they're actually moons anyway".

There that word is again, "assume". Not fact, not anything, just more assumptions based solely on your, at this point, 8 layers of assumptions.

Because "they're illustrated a specific way", which is ****** up as you have multiple times in this very post, went back and forth saying what does and doesn't count and contradicting yourself. It's absolutely asinine.

The anime also cut every shot with the suns in question, contradicts you explicitly on your reason for why shots you DO agree with being the suns don't count, and has the problem with being aired and made alongside the manga and even overtaking it at points and thus didn't have that foresight.

Their possible existence?

I hate this I really do.

Your previous line was literally just stating it might possibly exist. Not that they do exist.

Namek, in the context of the manga, just so happens to have 3 moons.
They reveal Namek has 3 suns.
Every single shot afterward shows namek with 3, very blatantly drawn sun-like objects, as your very own scans would dictate contrary to your beliefs.
But apparently not, we just have to assume every time, they're secretly moons and not the 3 suns we know it has?

All because you assume, in your words, a bunch of disconnected facets to draw a conclusion that still ultimately boils down to "it might possibly be the case"?

No but it sure as hell would be mentioned in the Daizenshuu or something. It is never said.

This is like the 20th time you've admitted to your argument being an assumption.
This is like the 20th time you've just said words and arrived at a conclusion, based solely on your other inconsistent assumptions.
All while ignoring everything that contradicts or rebukes your argument.

And the fact you literally agreed we see 3 stars next to Namek at multiple points, but are now backpedaling in the very same post you've went on record saying as much multiple times.

Uh, yeah goddamn right? We don't work on assumptions. We don't enforce our own headcanon. We work with the facts we have. We do not do vast amounts of mental gymnastics, using disconnected scans and examples that contradict your very argument and claims anyway, to arrive at a different assumption.

This isn't how this works, calling shit a fallacy doesn't make you right. It's just obnoxious especially when I don't even have to accuse you doing nothing but assuming and going solely off your own personal, subjective, interpretation, because you've already admitted to it.

And ironically, all you've done is dismiss things that don't fit into your self-admitted presumptions. This is beyond hypocritical.

Oh so you admit it's just your interpretation, welp now I don't gotta feel bad for calling a duck a duck 🗿
But bluhbluh 50th time, your very visual evidence doesn't even work with you, if anything you've been showing planets and stars and moons in space shots get drawn a certain way pretty universally or at the very least drawn differently with enough difference to tell them distinctly apart.

And no you are indeed cherry picking.

Panel 1? We see a blatantly drawn planet. And white objects. Are those moons? No why would they be? The panel already gives ample detail to a planetary object, if they were intended to be moons, why not give them the same? Is it because they're close? Well it can't be that because one of the white spheres is on the other side of the panel not even close to the planet.

Panel 2? Are those white objects moons? No why the hell would they be? There isn't even a planet around for them to be orbiting, they're just in the middle of a starry backdrop, so why assume they're anything but just closer stars?

Panel 3? We literally see two planets/moons drawn, so why would the things you're claiming to be the same things not be drawn in the same way? It makes no sense.

Panel 4? More of the alleged moon-type objects, yet no planet in sight for them to be orbiting.

Panel 5? Just two randomly larger ones in the corner, no planet near by for either on either end of the panel. To make it worse, it's seconds before panel 2, yet no distinct moons/planet in either, only white spheres.

These are just panels directly connected to YOUR examples mind you, I could grab more.

Ok so now you AGREE it's consistent come a certain point, yet previously were saying the opposite?

Also that word again, "assume".

We literally don't do that it's considered its own canon here. And goddamn right it is, otherwise ** it, let's upgrade the manga Namek explosion to be like 4-B or something because the anime clarified the scope of it ig, or let's ignore the very explicit lore and, ironically, visuals, for the world of the kai's because the anime made them moons, went oops we **** up, and just ran with it too.

And no it isn't vague, it's pretty straightforward you've just established a whole disconnected line of reasoning based on numerous assumptions and interpretations to arrive at a "possibly", and are treating that as a solid rebuttal.

Ok so now you agree they're being shown as suns?
No it very much does invalidate it, if we know Namek has 3 suns, and every time that lore gets dropped, Namek is drawn around 3 sun like objects you just conceded to being exactly that, it means exactly that, your interpretation gets thrown out the window.

But really, show me one instance post 3 sun drop, where they're depicted as anything different. If you can't, even the mere argument of "retcon" is sufficient. I'm not here to humor presumptions. Especially not when you've literally gave an argument yourself that would make moons not effect the 3 sun panels anyway.


Interpretation again, and lad, we have guides. Ignoring the fact the manga actually does explain stuff like that.

Your objective evidence is assumptions, you've said so yourself. Assumptions aren't objective. That isn't what that word entails.

And sick of saying it, but your alleged evidence if anything supports the opposite.

Only if you ignore the numerous times moons aren't depicted as that.
Ignore the actual facts and info we have.
Just assume random white spheres in space shots are moons even when we see other moons and planets on panel showing us that they aren't the same thing.
Assume they're moons when there's not even a planet in sight.
Make actual excuses for all the blatant contradictions in your own scans (yeah moons really moved orbits in a few seconds).
i could go on, it's baffling. Like

Freeza planet, one of your main examples
NhIqt7y.png


You're legitimately arguing those white spheres moons? Why? We can SEE the moons it has, they're drawn completely differently, same way as the planet even. If those white spheres were meant to be moons, they'd be given the gradient that rockey celestial objects in that same panel are given. And given your focus on light sources and cascading shadows.... The location and angles of the big white spheres, coincide with the lit up parts of the planets surface, and the dark part lacks any of them at that angle. So ya know what? Based on your own types of arguments, those white objects would be stars, as they're drawn distinct from what we know to be a moon and even the shading is consistent with it. But apparently, they're moons too, actual consistent be damned, surely stars can't be drawn closer, especially if we're talking about that solar system's actual sun.

Do you not see why your alleged evidence doesn't even make sense within itself?

Yeah no this ain't funny. Stop wasting my time.

Your entire argument is self admitted assumptions layered on top of more.

You literally admit it's all just your interpretation and assumptions. It's quite literally "vibes".

Who the hell says we need Occam's Razor? That only applies in lack of concrete info. If we DIDNT know Namek had 3 suns orbiting it making it always day, you'd be right, we wouldn't be saying that, but in that same vain, this would never have been a topic to begin with.

Actual proof. I'm not doing this shit with you again. I don't want your opinion, cherry picking, double standards, or dismissing of blatant contradictions in your own evidence. I want actual, not debatable proof within the manga canon, or at least a manga guide.

I ALSO want to point out that due to how Namek's cycle works, we should ALWAYS see one of its suns behind it too, so it's not like they should be off screen no? The back has to be lit up too. And the arguments presented here would still enable scaling the blasts and shit off the stars, especially if "oh the explosions/light just eclipsed the planet a billion times over and despite still following the planet's curvature, is actually a million times bigger than it".

Also, again, Namek having moons/planets, doesn't change that we see 3 suns by it either, nor does it mean that the existence of any directly correlates to 3 of them even if true, something you yourself have proven in the worst case scenario.

I agree with this guy
 
Yeah and he died so what does that say about him?
Don't even know what's the topic but i feel like you're right.
Something about art and suns and moons and arguments that ultimately all lead to the exact same shit in the end no matter the case just for different reasons so it's secretly all a big waste of time.

Bro is not messing around with the opposition Jesus Christ 😭
They reused that animation like 3 times just with different effects on it. They ain't slick.
Kinda like how Plat punting Pucci in Part 6 was just a color shifted pummel from Part 3.

As an aside I'm just throwing my vote for ******* likely.
It ultimately doesn't even matter in the end at this point, we could ignore context, ignore what concrete info we have, pretend every piece of art shows something it doesn't and scans that aren't even consistent with one's own argument, ignore every time such a thing isn't the case and a minority, or just flatout make assumptions stacked on more, hell things that don't even alter the end result or presented evidence and premise like Namek also having an arbitrary amount of orbiting planetary bodies, make up entirely new lore based on disconnected pieces of info, hell even be straight up wrong on things like Freeza planet, or ignore arguments and points entirely such as timing, who gives a shit at this point. The only opposition atm has conceded at least several panels do in fact show the suns, on panels which either directly enable the planet to be scaled off them, or the attacks in question. Which both lead to the exact same end result just for different reasons.

This ain't worth the effort.

I'd have written a 4 word one if the wiki allowed me to.
 
Gonna be real with y'all, I ain't got the energy for this one, I really don't. However I'm pretty sure everyone is about done with this one so to help end the suffering I'll just give my thoughts. I haven't followed the entirety of this thread but from all the comments I looked over, I'm going to agree with the revision (so long as the calc is correct).

Regarding the 3 suns size

I don't know all that gobbledegook about the size of the objects affecting the planet but from the comments and basic common sense, we know that Namek is screwed regardless of the suns size so the planets surface, gravity and all that good stuff can't really be used to determine how big they are.

However, we usually default assume the suns would be average in size like we always do unless stated/shown otherwise. Yet the only argument I've seen against them being that big is the Didoria statement that mentions it's small or not big or whatever but my issues with that is context. What is an average planet in Dragon Ball? we know giant planets exist, Frieza's army has been around, he could be comparing it to massive planets or smaller ones but it's unknown and thus holds little value in a general scene in my opinion.

I can't speak for everyone but if I'm told a planet has 3 suns, I'd assume they were sun sized. I don't know if the writers intended them to be but unless they make it clear, I'm going to assume they are.

Art of the sun and moon

I don't know how this discussion reached the point of using other shots of space to prove those objects could be moons but speaking for my self, if I'm told a planet has 3 suns circling it so it's always day, and I turn the page and see 3 noticably large white dots orbiting the planet, my first assumption would be those are the 3 suns, it's just that simple.

Even when dealing with different verses, planets and moons usually have some details, and I'm not saying the art can't make those be moons but given it's mentioning 3 suns and I see 3 spheres, what else would they be of first interpretation?

I can't for the life of me follow the Jupiter discussion but regarding distance talk, I've seen many verses put stars, moons, and planet close in a shot despite we know it's not that close. So arguing that their too close to be suns doesn't hold up in my opinion (if you played Skyrim, you know what I'm talking about 🤣)

Final thoughts

Overall, I can't speak for the author's intent, I can speak for others, but I would assume those are the suns in question, and I'd assume their normal sun size going of default standards and evidence given. Now if someone has an argument that they think would change my mind and believe I didn't see it, please, let me know. Even though I'd rather not deal with this thread, I'd rather not leave without trying to see all sides. I do apologize if this wasn't the evaluation you were looking for but it's the best I go given how my life is going right now.

Note that if it comes to it I will go for a compromise but as of right now I agree with the update

Nice.

With your agreement, I believe that brings the total to 3-1-1, so we should probably get like, 1 more mod to sign off on this before implementing. You mind pinging @DarkDragonMedeus to see if his thoughts have changed?
 
I have been following, and it seems like there is going to be contention no matter what I agree with. But, one thing I cannot agree with is "Using the diameter is fine but not the GBE." Not only is that logically impossible assuming the dimensions are correct, but GBE is an absolute minimum when it comes to calculating the durability of a planet. Planets either especially large (Whether extreme volume or extreme density) have especially high durability.

I obviously think Namek having normal gravity is consistent given Bulma can walk around it just fine, but Damage bringing up a good point about the "Density being lighter than air." Wouldn't make sense if they still breathe oxygen, and that happened to be heavier than the ground they walk on. Likewise, Dodoria claiming he has been on planets larger, when he is among a force that is well aware that Planet Vegeta was quite massive for planet standards. He sounds like it would more or less lean in the direction that Namek is not that big.

Comparing Namek to the suns, I agree that there isn't any reason to assume the "Three suns" are small as opposed to average sized stars. But another common issue is that celestial bodies on panel aren't always drawn to scale, and that gaps between smaller and larger objects are often downplayed due to limited space of panels.

I still do not know. I basically just wish authors would give us official parameters, but that's obviously not going to happen anytime soon. But for the time being, put me in the same boat as Reiner. Seems the "Likely" rating was what he prefered.

Planets either especially large (Whether extreme volume or extreme density) have especially high durability.
The argument is that GBE requires a multitude of factors that are inconsistent for it to be that big. The size of Namek merely hinges on the fact that one of the suns must be in front or in the foreground due to how the 3 suns have to create an angle that makes it eternally daylight. We’re just not giving a higher GBE based off the things due to the inconsistency, so the true GBE would be undetermined.

I understand, but that doesn’t really change the fact that it’s depicted consistently bigger than the suns when depicted, hence why we’re going only for the diameter, and not putting anything concrete for the other stuff. The Dodoria point was something that was brought up a lot, but Dodoria just says that it’s not particularly big, which contextually would be referring to other planets we’ve seen; however, we’ve constantly seen planets that are bigger than normal, for example even the size of the Super DB’s are pretty big, but they’re only considered almost the size of a planet which implies it’s even slightly smaller than small planets. The Dodoria statement isn’t really a statement that leans against it when there’s no cap on how big a planet can be and we know that the minimum size for one is quite big.

Yes, but everytime we see Namek it’s always constantly depicted as dwarfing the suns in size, and of course we know that if we see all 3 suns one must be in front meaning it’s easy to pixel scale it.

Got it, I’ll change that now.

Not only is that logically impossible assuming the dimensions are correct, but GBE is an absolute minimum when it comes to calculating the durability of a planet. Planets either especially large (Whether extreme volume or extreme density) have especially high durability.
GBE requires numerous extra steps with information that conflict with each other to ascertain, you need density, mass, gravity, size, etc. Given Namek's asinine and impossible standards no matter the size, GBE requires us to throw out scientific accuracy no matter the case and in every situation, at least one of said values is going to conflict with the source material, whether it's big, small, or anything in-between, like there's not exactly anything we can do about that, calcing GBE is less "can't do it, don't make sense", and more no matter how you go about it one of the values that would need to be plugged in would be demonstrably incorrect with known info. Fortunately we don't really need the GBE for anything as other methods exist, but all the same.

But just because GBE is impossible to calculate, doesn't mean diameter suddenly changes. If it's shown a certain size, it's still gonna be said size, much in the same vain that it being shown with 1g or this or that is going to be the same regardless of the logistics of it simply because that's what Toriyama went with it.

The goal here isn't to even calculate the planet's durability anyway, just to go "hey Namek is shown pretty damn huge at times, pretty consistently at that, we should acknowledge that".
Whether or not it effects anything (it doesn't, things like the spirit bomb explosion end up just low end 5-A, movement speed doesn't change because we don't know the placement of certain landmarks, things like death ball get a bit complicated due to the aforementioned GBE alongside the very mechanics of how it was busted, even some specific stuff like attack speeds via explosions and blasts only end up at rel or maybe low FTL yet they're already FTL+ by that point so it just acts as minor support. Although actually having supporting feats is beneficial so the whole verse actually has backing and isn't just scaled off one freeza feat or rel feat and then stacked and divided tf out of with multipliers), shouldn't be the main point.
I obviously think Namek having normal gravity is consistent given Bulma can walk around it just fine, but Damage bringing up a good point about the "Density being lighter than air." Wouldn't make sense if they still breathe oxygen, and that happened to be heavier than the ground they walk on.
And if it was earth sized or even smaller, it would need to be exceptionally dense to avoid being torn apart by 3 suns. We have gone through this, it is ****** either way you go about it, being smaller has its own fair share of extra issues atop of sharing some of the same issues. In fact, the smaller Namek is, the denser it would need to be to avoid being destroyed, which would in turn directly correlate to having higher gravity. Which is obviously not the case as Bulma is fine on it.

But you know what else is true? The fact there's even bigger planets in the context of DBZ where despite being rocky planetoids that explicitly eclipse stars, it's portrayed with 1g and humans can walk on it just fine, such as Supreme Kai's world. At its size and density (rocky, earth-like, even noted to be exceptionally durable), it should be over 67000000000000000000000000ms^2. it is not.
Do we pretend it secretly does have that gravity? No because it's clearly shown with 1g.
Do we pretend it's actually smaller now because to have that gravity it can't be as big as it is with the density it has? Nope, that's still true.
Fact of the matter is, Toriyama evidently didn't quite get the implications of some of his planetary lore, that or he just didn't care, either way, if it's shown to be the case, we just gotta go with that over our own fancalcs.

Likewise, Dodoria claiming he has been on planets larger, when he is among a force that is well aware that Planet Vegeta was quite massive for planet standards. He sounds like it would more or less lean in the direction that Namek is not that big.
And what's a "big" planet? We already know that in the context of DBZ something like earth is pathetically tiny, they even say so in the next saga, so if the argument is still rooted in Bulma of all things, Namek would still be larger than earth and thus have a higher gravity. In the context of DBZ an "almost average" planet is also 3x earth's size, and that is simply almost average.

What is a "big" planet? What is the upper end of planetary objects? We already know planets that eclipse stars can and do exist, so that begs the question, what is Dodoria aware of? What is one of the main henchman for the intergalactic planet conquering dude who has seen countless planets, considering as "a particularly big planet"? (Do note, he isn't saying Namek is small or even average, just not upper end, though tbf, this line is also months before the 3 sun lore got dropped too, something that should probably be taken into account), If we do not know, it's just words that don't actually tell us Namek's size beyond "it isn't among the absolutely biggest planets he seen".
Comparing Namek to the suns, I agree that there isn't any reason to assume the "Three suns" are small as opposed to average sized stars. But another common issue is that celestial bodies on panel aren't always drawn to scale, and that gaps between smaller and larger objects are often downplayed due to limited space of panels.
Based on what? Do you have consistent substantiated proof where Toriyama is drawing things millions of times off scale? Consistently in every shot and every time it happens? I can think of numerous planet earth shots where the moon is just a speck, so why's the argument here the opposite? You need to post evidence.

And if his goal was to simply make them visible, why would Namek be drawn larger, as opposed to being drawn smaller instead while still having the stars be the larger objects on panel? If the goal was just to make them all visible so they're a tad off scale, that's easily doable without making Namek be notably larger than them within the shot in question.
I still do not know. I basically just wish authors would give us official parameters, but that's obviously not going to happen anytime soon. But for the time being, put me in the same boat as Reiner. Seems the "Likely" rating was what he prefered.
This is fine, though I don't necessarily agree with the reason for it.

Well quite a few staff at this point agree or likely. A likely seems to be set in at this point.
 
Tbh a solid rating seems to be best, seeing that the arguments against this thread have just been assumptions not backed up by anything really. There really isn't a reason for it to be 'likely'.

Tbh I can see why people would want a Likely rating rather than a full on one, since a planet this big is a bit....well, dumb, even for Dragon Ball, despite the evidence backing it up.

We've seen planets like this in dragon ball, this isn't new, as chariot pointed out. That doesn't change the fact that it was purposely portrayed for namek to be that large, so a likely rating doesn't make much sense to me over a solid one, especially since (as I pointed out, and others) that the arguments against it are assumptions with no real backing.
 
Yeah, like i don't even know why this is hard to accept, just fiction being fiction, having some comically big objects that is impossible if it is real life, but we don't deal with real life in this case. Anyway i agree with a solid rating
 
Well, I think this thread has already been accepted, given the majority of the votes.
But it would still be good to have this addressed for future readers who might look back at the thread. I don't think I saw anyone brining this up.

The official Dragon Ball website published an article about Namek, which included a diagram showing the planet and its suns. In the diagram, Planet Namek is clearly depicted as being smaller than the three suns surrounding it.

%E7%B9%9D%E7%BF%AB%CE%93%E7%B9%9D%E3%83%BB%E3%81%91%E8%AD%8F%E6%AD%99%E8%B1%AC%EF%BD%B7%E8%9E%9F%E6%9A%B4en_namek3.jpg


Additionally, near the end of the article, the expert who was brought in to talk about Namek said this:

Sekine: Oh, their landscapes ARE really similar. And since Gohan, Krillin, and the others were able to walk normally on its surface, the gravity on the planet must be about the same as Earth's, too.

Having the same gravitational pull means that the masses of the planets must be about the same.

If we get right down to it, planets the size of ours are rather unimpressive, so it'd be fair to say that Planet Namek is kind of like Earth's big brother since they're so similar.


This was an external expert talking, but it was published in the official website so I think, it should be addressed.

Thats not an official diagram lol, pretty sure we addressed this iirc, this reminds me of someone talking about time travel on one of those sites or whatever. So again, pretty irrelevant.

A diagram not made by Akira Toriyama, not supervised by him, for simplicity sake, and yet also somehow, coincidentally in the general formation we see them in the manga? This isn't much different from the things like that one japanese teacher yapping about JoJo slop and what he says and shows not aligning with the actual source material.
I don't think the dude actively skimmed every panel before drawing an MS paint diagram to go "oh wait, some of these panels kinda sus?".

In other news, I have now angsized every panel and Kakarot shot with these ******* suns, the furthest we get, from a ground PoV, for a shot that is undeniably a sun (literally exuding light, no texture, etc) is 6541092.03527km, for reference that is 22.87x less than the distance between our sun and earth. To compare, Mercury is 57,000,000km away from the sun, which is still 8.85x further away than Namek is to one of its own suns based on the ground perspective. Mercury, fyi, has had its atmosphere burned away and can reach temps of 430c in the day time. Just to hammer in how the whole "climate lol" argument absolutely doesn't apply even in the best case.
It was, by Chariot (who else lol)
 
The picture and text is took from the Website, but if we dismiss the Dragon Ball website completely, then I agree as well with the upgrade.

We don’t dismiss the DB website completely, but we only take stuff that act as actual supplementary statements for the series, or statements from authoritative people like Toriyama or Toyataro. This is literally just a random dude who was asked to given his thoughts and was utilizing speculative things and making theories. The same thing was done here, where a physicist starts utilizing theories from our world, such as the fact that an infinite number of universes exist, which don’t in the DB cosmology. Also, mentioning things like how instant transmission might utilize negative matter. That’s far different from a page that’s just supplementing information from the series like here for Android 17, and giving us extra information on him and explaining actual things from the series instead of making theories and hypothesizing. There’s a clear distinction between the two for sure.

Sacrificing Star Level Namek for 2-A DBS sounds like a good trade to me-
