Dragon Ball Super Discussion Thread 100

"Inherit" Piccolo consciously inherited it from his son by putting his entire existence in that egg, Cell would be more like Piccolo's Tamborine than a son.
Uh-Piccolo and Tambourine are cut of the same cloth. When Daimao Piccolo creates his sons, he can actively choose how they come out and model them, such as when he made one of them a Dragon on purpose.
 
eternal youth would need to have affected the cells by default tho, that is just how aging works
Sure, but does that extrapolate to a biological or magical level? Rather, it is not given a scientific background at all and it is entirely due to magic.
We know that ki can be transmitted through cells but magic cannot and they are two different concepts in DB.

Yep, and Piccolo Junior is the one to whom in his death he gives his entire existence (which he did consciously)

the magic in this case was used to alter his biology to never age, aka, his cells
 
I don't have any strong opinions on this Cell/Piccolo debate but it's worth noting that apparently the Cell Jrs. haven't appeared to have aged at all between the Cell Games and Dragon Ball Super.
 
I’ve been thinking if Cell is accepted to have possibly immortality type 1? Can’t we just do a possible calc based on if he doesn’t have type 1? I think that’s the best solution to this.

But it is not specified that Piccolo King's wish can be transmitted by cells. The ability is a product of magic, the transmission of the ability from Piccolo to Piccolo Junior is through his will and putting his entire existence in the egg. Cell has Piccolo's cells and Piccolo's ki but has not demonstrated type 1 immortality and has not given any allusion to it when it is based on magic and the bearer's will to transmit it.

Doesn't seem like a good idea to me tbh.
 
yeah I read that CRT. Damage ignored many statements that point towards MFTL+ travel speed. It virtually makes 0 sense for these characters to even be a relevant threat to a neighboring galaxy let alone the entire universe/every celestial body if they're 4-C/4-B and MHS+ speed and only one of them having a possibly Type 1 Immortality at best. either their AP is completely wrong or their speed is heavily downplayed it is one or the other
For the record, their speed is not heavily downplayed. The characters in the Frieza and Cell Sagas have multiple glaring anti-feats that you'd have to ignore completely to try and accept that the characters have MFTL+ travel speed.
 
Haven't seen a convincing arguement for how a SS tier character can be a threat to a galaxy with only MHS travel speed and no immortality. I've gotten a bunch of sophism, but nothing really concrete. At the end of the day I really don't care about the manga travel speed stuff given its just in the same line as trying to partially take away 5C Roshi and 4B Cell/Gohan shit, but I am thoroughly unconvinced by these arguments.

A better question is how funny would it be if the series just decided to tell us that the infinite energy shit can be transmitted genetically?
 
I don't have any strong opinions on this Cell/Piccolo debate but it's worth noting that apparently the Cell Jrs. haven't appeared to have aged at all between the Cell Games and Dragon Ball Super.
Which makes sense, i think it's been more than 8 years from the Cell saga to Super, right? Then they would have inherited Piccolo's eternal youth.
 
Doesn't seem like a good idea to me tbh.
Why not? If we know his lifespan and the fact that he’d destroy all celestial bodies with his AP. We can calculate a speed for possible under the assumption that he doesn’t have type 1 as it’s listed as possibly.
For the record, their speed is not heavily downplayed. The characters in the Frieza and Cell Sagas have multiple glaring anti-feats that you'd have to ignore completely to try and accept that the characters have MFTL+ travel speed.
I’m aware of anti feats in the Saiyan Saga, but what were the anti feats for the Frieza and Cell Sagas?

Did we calc Namek's GBE yet or nah?
There was some errors in the calc, as the panel didn’t show all 3 suns, but Crim would have to make a new calc since the current one isn’t too accurate rn.
The number I got was 800.
Do you think you could make a calc? Possibly FTL (or higher) would be nice. As a result of the calc.

That first comment name just reminds me of Seth moon level video.
Seth ended up being a POS but he put this site in it's place multiple times. Wish he wasn't a ******* sleazeball and was still smacking this site down a few pegs every so often (whenever it's deserved)

Seth would've seen the partial 5C downgrade and torn it a new one
 
Should they grow? And how does that mean they don't have longevity? something that we are sure they have
They kind of didn't grow at all, Cell himself is not a normal being like humans, keep in mind that he doesn't have weaknesses like a normal human, he was created in a laboratory with several cells from other characters, Android 17 and 18 themselves have eternal lives and cannot die of old age, it wouldn't make sense Dr. Gero create a being that has a limit to live (although it's just my guess)

Yes. Even assuming they have only Piccolo’s specific Namekian aging, Piccolo got an adult body at the age of 4. And at the point they fight in Super, they’re slightly older than Goten/about as Old as Trunks. So teenagers.

In reality, it has not been stated that androids are immortal and yes, at first glance one can believe what you say about Gero but as we all know well that does not always apply.

Going back to what Omega said, they are not Namekians, Saiyans or cold demons are children of Cell and I don't think what they see biologically applies 100%.
 
But it is not specified that Piccolo King's wish can be transmitted by cells
if the wish affected his cells(as i explained it would need to do) then it can be passed by cells, unless any statement specifying the mechanics of the wish, specifically a mechanic that wouldn't allow that to happen comes up, that would be the default assumption as cells would need to be changed in order to give someone eternal youth

That's exactly what I asked of you, if you could share a statement that makes it clear that the mechanics of desire are biological and not magical, as we know the spheres function.

......based on how aging itself works, to make one young forever one would need to have their cells altered, that is just how aging works
 
........as i said, you have to alter the cells to make someone not age, that is how aging works i have being saying the entire time
Sure, in real life yes (if immortality existed...) but we are talking about immortality made with magic (an attribute that Cell never demonstrated) and not with a biological explanation involved.
