Whew ok I have a lot to respond to but I'm here for it lol.
Also thank you all who are participating on the thread for your input, whether you agree or disagree I appreciate it. I also have to sleep now, and any comment after I'll respond in a few hours
No one in this entire thread said that he wasn't using Ki Manipulation for the ability, we can both agree on that. Regardless I fail to see how that matters as characters using their energy(whether it's ki, Magical, or hell even Psychic) to manipulate effects happen all the time. Even when you say "magical hax", odds are that said hax would be using mana or their magical energy to use the move to create the effect would they not? Like a character who uses mana to manipulate gravity would still have gravity manipulation, a character who used psychic energy to use paralysis would still have paralysis inducement.My brother, adapting to this form of paralysis is no different than adapting above Telekinesis, he’s not using some magical hax to stop him from moving, hence me claiming its not “true paralysis” he’s just trapping him in his ki. Broly powers up and literally breaks out of this, via raw power. This isn’t RE.
This is just a form of ki manipulation or Telekineses.
I'll put you in the agree for this ability.I agree with this.
I'll put it in the vote tally then.Disagree. These aren’t afterimages, they’re just moving at FTE speeds and disappearing and reappearing.
I disagree with everything but heat manipulation
I'm really trying to understand you Saman. You agree that it's FTE speeds yet you disagree even though the ability states that Afterimages "naturally occurs when a character is moving too quickly for the eye to track accurately". I understand that it was used in a different way back in OG dragon ball, but during Z we see it use in the way we know, From Goku vs. Frieza, Goku vs. Cell, etc.Yes, and in this case neither Goku nor Broly were leaving afterimages, they just vanished at FTE speed.
And even though it's been ages since it was used for the last time, DB always had a specific way to portray afterimages.
I'm not denying that, but that's when there's like a good amount of time is taken, not when he's in the literal heat of battle, he always have the fingers when he's battling in the heat of the moment.Goku can teleport even without putting his fingers on his head (see vs. Cell), it just helps him concentrate, though most of the times they have him do it to make it mroe recognizable.
I could've sworn that this notion of Stronger AP= Resistance to weaker character's hax was rejected on the wiki unless it was flat out stated by the verse(Like how bleach Reiatsu can nullify weaker abilities), I mean hell isn't that the literal reason why Jiren doesn't have Resistance to EE despite being stronger than Toppo? And that was the only time that hax was used on Broly against an opponent. Every other instance of him fighting has been primarly combat.DB has the recurrent trope of special abilities not working on stronger opponents and AD, or rather Adaptability in this case, can still lead to developing a resistance, especially in a verse like DB.
Broly also doesn't showcase the ability anymore, and Reactive Evolution should still be a prerogative of characters who actively mutate, evolve (in a biological sense) or are specifically portrayed as being able to perform the "super adaptation" this ability requires.
Broly has adaption and RPL, we physically see him struggling to break out of the ki wall, seemingly powers up as he goes to produce a large shockwave but still cannot break out, and after a while Broly lets out a yell and visibly breaks out of it. Not ignoring it by gaining some resistance like the OP is implying, he physically breaks out of it.
RPL increases abilities and resistances that a character already has not gain new ones. Unless you wanna say that Broly already had resistance to Paralysis Inducement before he even fought Goku then I'm all ears. And I never said that he ignored the God Bind. Please keep in mind that being unaffected by a hax isn't the only way to show resistance. I'm saying that he experienced the God Bind, got resistance to it and broke out of it. From what I've seen from your comments(Just so I don't misunderstand what you say) it seems that you don't even consider this even a resistance at all but more so a feat of strength itself. If that isn't the case then I apologize, but if it is, can you provide me a statement or anything that states that Goku's God Bind can only work if the character's isn't strong enough to break out of it via sheer power?In this case broly isn’t adapting above anything but the strength of the ki holding him. This would just be RPL which he already has.
