I dont know. i dont think the inclusion of a real life planet necessarily works as evidence against that claim. With that logic one might even claim that just the existence of planet earth in the solar system (as well as the sun) disproves it already
I'd say those are moreso the starting point for claiming similarity; with the Jupiter appearance acting as supporting to that claim.
I mean if you think Toei is going to come after you then yeah delete it, but otherwise I'm pretty sure it's fair game
Not how it works, ISL, him tanking it is like, High 6-A.
Proof?
It was a chain reaction, every other planet bust might not be, but Namek itself is, unfortunately, the sole confirmed instance of one, Frieza himself even explains the planet will explode, not because of him, but because the core was vaporized. Makes no sense but it is what it is. He did hold back yeah, but we don't know how much quicker it'd happen if he didn't.
I'm not that insignificant
(jk)
yeah but that's with the current calc I'm pretty sure
he stated that he held back, he also produced a stronger attack as Mecha Frieza on earth and he even stated in the panel posted before that he could destroy this entire planet if he wanted to while suppressed
but we literally don't accept it and nor does it even imply a chain reaction. A planet exploding like a supernova doesn't happen unless something actually tears it apart like that and that "something" here is Frieza's own energy. at minimum he could bust it in 2.5 minutes since suppressed 50% Frieza did it in 5, with SSJ Goku probably being able to do it even quicker
An attempt to upgrade Earth's size was made using in-universe distances and such, and it was rejected. Namek doesn't even have that afaikWhat
Well Namek actually has reasons to be big since it has 3 suns. The argument for earth was that there was no statements about earth that should make it above the irl version.

Yeah, it'd be higher, probably 5-B
Mecha Frieza is stronger, and making a stronger attack, doesnt mean said attack would instant destroy Namek, it can be stronger and still not do that.
He LITERALLY says why, the core was disintegrated, and because of that, the planet becomes unstable and will explode. It's scientifically bullshit, but we're also talking about a sun-sized planet, realism left awhile back. It just is what is, it was a chain reaction.
it literally wouldnt, 4-C is MASSIVE. Even if they busted it flat-out, it'd be like 4-C max. Maybe less given size=/=density and it being 1g would implicate low density.
We're talking about how in multiple shots, Namek's 3 suns can be seen by the planet, based on how the cycles work, one would need to be in the foreground or parallel with it, not the background. Assuming legit, it'd be a matter of just drawing two lines and comparing.
There's kinda a limit to how small they can go tho
If we assume Namek is normal planet sized, the suns would be like, country-sized maximum.
Not really when it comes to fiction... One of the calcs proposed earlier would have had Namek being over three times wider than our own Sun. If we can suspend our disbelief for that, why can't we suspend our disbelief for the size of the stars?
Well I suppose it's because as opposed to assuming Namek is much larger, assuming the stars are much smaller is not exactly feasible since there's a limit to how small stars can be.
there is a limit to how small a star can be
If we use same method from this old Toei calc, it ends up being 7.5897072e+26 Joules, as in Multi-Continent level, and that's with average planet size
we can only do that when we have proof for it. If you do have proof for smaller-than-moon sized stars then yes we can believe that too
to be fair a larger than star sized rocky planet is also not scientifically feasible, it would be crushed under its own gravity and implode. Only reason stars can get so big without imploding is because of the outwards pressure created by the force of the nuclear fusion inside their cores, when that pressure stops you get supernovae as the star collapses in on itself
Because we know Namek is big.
that wouldn't prove anything
Problem is that virtually all the current supporting feats are far below where the characters would be rated with multipliers & powerscaling, or below the original two feats.
No, but it does prove it is built diff if upon core destruction the planet becomes unable to hold its form, and "violently explodes". Now is that the same, no. But, it's definitely something odd with it.
Im not seeing how that proves anything. Also if core destruction is really going to be accepted then most of DBZ gets downgraded to below 5-B
I mean, the Dimension Shatter is a pretty good Uni feat, since it’s specifically the outcome of what happens when more energy than the Universe can TAKE is released inside it.
No?
Didn’t the Namek one come from the whole Solar System?
Implied other planets too, but the fact the earth one was just earth and the sun, and it was miniscule to what namek alone can do, is kinda wacky all the same.

I'd pick a panel we actually see all 3 suns in, that way we know at least one of them is parallel or in the foreground.Namek is a Big Planet
