Cymbal Revision (Dragon Ball)

Cymbal has this in his profile.

Ki Manipulation (Can fire energy waves that look like bolts of electricity)
and this
Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Beam Ray: Cymbal fires energy waves that look like bolts of electricity. Aside from the initial charge-up time (which takes several seconds) he can rapid-fire this attack multiple times.
However, what he actually shoots are blatantly called lightning and even directly separated from being a ki technique.

Here from the Dragon Ball: El Manga Legendario databook.


"Cymbal puede realizar ataques lanzando rayos con sus manos. Al parecer se trata de una técnica propia de los demonios, diferente a la basada en la "energía" que emplean Goku y los demás luchadores para realizar sus ataques."

"Cymbal can launch attacks by shooting lightning from his hands. It seems to be a technique unique to demons, different from the 'energy-based' techniques used by Goku and the other fighters to perform their attacks." Note that rayos can mean lightning or rays depending on the context, in this case, its lighting as the picture shows.

His ability should be changed, lightning manipulation, with ki manipulation separated. His technique should also be modified to one that says that he actually does shoot lightning.



Secondly, should this be accepted, I believe this calc on yajirobe dodging it should be either useable or someone can redo it.


EDIT: The image link doesn't seem to work on phones, but on PCs, you can put your phone on desktop view to see it

was the calc accepted?
It needs to be accepted first of this thread passes through, the main bone of contention was if it was lightning or not

If this thread passes then the calc can be redone or they can evaluate that one again
 
Agreed for the ability, dubious on the feat, just being called "lightning" isn't enough to prove it behaves like a real one, as it's a very common word user to refer to electricity.

Thank you

As for the other part
The blog I linked to also had extra proof for it being lightning

The "Extra Justifications" section explains it

As not only does the databook specify that it's lightning, the requirement for energy value for lightning is met among others,
