All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

Kid Goku kind-of dodged it against Tien Shin Han, burrowing Roshi's glasses to protect himself
Isn't it supposed that Goku already knew about the technique? Also, the fact that he had to go for the glasses and not just... I don't know... protect his eyes or simply dodge the attack itself, wouldn't that show that he didn't actually dodge the attack and just simply avoided being stunned? (The attack doesn't even do any damage, so obviosly you won't need to dodge it, you will only need to protect your eyes)
 
I think that going all the way through reaching a spectator's sun glasses to protect your eyes not to be blinded before the light reaches you is a way better feat than just… "protect your eyes" or trying to dodge an omnidirectional light

but remind you, goku already knew about the technique before hand, so he will know what the technique will do.
also previosly in the same tournament, Krillin used a similar technique that requires light...and Goku was unable to dodge it or block his own eyes.
 
Yeah, Goku countering something he previously couldn't is something pretty common. That's why the phrase of "An attack not affecting him twice" is pretty common in the series. Anyway, why are you trying to downplay the feat so hard?

You asked if someone dodged Taiyoken. I told you the nearest example in the series of Goku dodging it, and now, for reasons I don't know, you are trying to to the best to minimize the feat.
 
nah i am just pointing out some obvious inconsistency...because then, almost no one dodges the Taioken, even when everyone is faster (and i know some of them don't know about the technique...but man, the technique is just light, it is going at the speed of light)
 
Yes, altho depends on the area, inside the city center is fine, city outskirts and areas like that are no-go zones for tourists, its even dangerous for the locals lol.
Interesting
It's not that dangerous, and I don't even live in Barra da Tijuca/South Zone. I've never been mugged.
I had a lot of friends from there who told me that things were too crazy, there was a time when i saw shootings on the roads along the river
 
Luffy probably comes from the South coast Brazilian families who are kinda privileged compared to the rest of the country. Now that makes me remember of something, northen Brazil is like the jungle for Southern Brazilians who are essentially Europeans
I live in Goiás, it's a place where there's a lot of respect and there are no thugs on the loose like RJ or something similar, here the police are very strong in my state

The closest I've ever been to a beach was in São Luís Maranhão, where my girlfriend was.

Well yeah. You are correct in that there’s no circumstance where a dbs character is failing to dodge light. So taiyoken is either fake light which is doubtful in many way, or real light who’s speed varies depending on the user. Although I suppose then you could doubt if og db uses of it were Ls. But that also seems doubtful.

yeah the light speed varying seem just has doubtful, considering that there is no statements of its speed varying (and also, in the anime, Krillin used a enhanced version, the Taioken times 100, and even then, it only intensified the flash, not make it faster)
 
That sounds interesting, the calculation of Goku taking energy from the entire Universe to destroy Majin Buu with the Genki-Dama that gave constellation


The members of the calculations here said it was impossible, but I see that in the examples of the Brazilians it would be possible to calculate the amount absorbed from the stars and planets of the entire Universe with this example


I think an experienced calculator could use the example of the Brazilians' calculation to obtain the energy produced by the Goku footprint of the entire universe

Goku saying Buu could make the universe go poof, certainly isnt hyperbolic tho, people will say that Goku doesnt know the extent of kid buus destroying capabilities, or that he means the universe is doomed in eventuality. But, I do think there is a clear narrative intent behind that words, and that what it matters after all.

No, I'm talking about before that—when Goku used the Spirit Bomb (Genki-Dama) to gather energy from the entire universe. This is mentioned both in Dragon Ball Super and in official guides. Energy was even gathered from the Other World to destroy Kid Buu.

But yes, you're right that Majin Buu can destroy the universe. It's stated several times in the series itself and in external sources too, including more recent guides that mention it.

People only reject the notion of Manga buu being universal, becouse since decades, it was already agreed upon by the powerscaling community that DBZ manga characters are only solar system level. Many people simply cant fathom the arrival of new ideas, or that their thoughts are outdated, is very diffcult to convince people of the opposite when they have a very ingrained idea that lasted since decades. Is like Galileo who said the Earth was round, not flat, and he received death threats from the church and the general populance

Exactly that. Honestly, people think the Buu Saga should stay at solar system level forever, even though even Fat Buu is a thousand times stronger than the previous saga. There are over four statements about Majin Buu destroying the universe, including the title itself. The Spirit Bomb only reinforces that Majin Buu was a universal threat. That excuse people use saying Majin Buu would take too long to destroy the universe doesn’t hold up anymore... In the series, it’s mentioned that with just a sneeze he could wipe out the macrocosm.

except that that was like, a world changing event...this is just pure fun (in quotes)

now that it is even more of a exaggeration considering that the fact that...man, they only reached that level on super...and none of them, even made a thing against Beerus?, super hyper supressing his power.
i think that is why people took it hard to believe it, because...man, if they were able to do that, then why Beerus was such a big of a problem?
 
also fun fact, FSL decided to put the dragon ball verse at below LS and they only reach like, cosmic levels speeds on the super saga.

Looks at Kai being right now canon to DBS Anime 🤔

Low-multiversal≠ Universal
 
"it could blow up the whole macrocosms with a sneeze"-your words
I said Universe, not the whole macrocosm you need to know the difference. Although, I shouldn’t really take you seriously since you’re always telling jokes here.

Worse is that I actually said it, but it's just the Universe and I'm getting all tangled up in it.

my jokes are not even funny?

(Not me of course)

Well then maybe you need the ability to see the speed obviously varying, and not require everything to be spoon fed to you to assuage your urge to downplay.
 
Was going through Super Exciting Guide in search of images to use as profile pictures, and I found a rather interesting excerpt.
