Heat in fiction.

[Elizhaa]

Technically, Jedis are imperfect examples since many have higher durability with Force amplification. i,e: Luke Skywalker (Legends).

 

[AKM sama]

I strongly agree with Saikou.

 

[Akreious]

Goku couldn't breathe at the centre of the Earth. So saying Goku is afraid of going to the centre of the Earth because of the Heat is just... wrong. Especially when Goku got his arse flamed by lava back in the Namek saga and only said "Ouch" and then went onto fight Freeza as if nothing happened.

Goku back in early Dragon Ball survived a period of time inside a literal furnace. Direct exposure or not, that thing's a divine furnace that with a leak, lit an entire mountain ablaze.

No, he said "My butt is flaming!" Then Freeza responded with "...I miss Zarbon." ovo

 

[Akreious]

... You deserve a kudos.

 

[Andytrenom]

No, he said "My butt is flaming!" Then Freeza responded with "...I miss Zarbon." ovo

This damaged me physically...in a good way.

 

[Antvasima]

So should we conclude this discussion?

 

[AKM sama]

Most people are with Saikou here, so I guess.

 

[Antvasima]

I will wait for some more input in order to make certain.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I agree with Saikou as well. Like bullets and other penetration weapons, fiction has a tendency to exaggerate upon environmental hazards being a threat to Superhuman characters. This includes, lava, the surface and core of the sun, falling from great heights, drowning/flooding, lightning bolts, the vacuum of space, blizzards, ect. None of those feats exceed Tier 8, and some are more like Tier 9; with two examples being lack of oxygen rather than AP vs Durability, but have been shown to be fatal for Tier 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, ect characters. Best just to call it PIS.

 

[Wokistan]

I mean I wouldn't call a strong character freezing to death or suffocating PIS, but I agree with the general idea medus puts forward.

 

[KLOL506]

I'm pretty sure Goku's main concern with the Earth's core thing was that he couldn't actually breathe there.

Otherwise, even when he got scraped by bullets, there was no burn mark there. at all.

 

[JackJoyce]

@KLOL506 There was slight scratch in Goku's hand after getting shot by a bullet in DBS. Can't remember the episode

 

[Elizhaa]

It was Plot-Induced Stupidity

 

[KLOL506]

There were no burn marks tho. None at all. That was just PIS-scrapes with nothing but blood. Goku didn't even comment of the bullet being hot.

Then again he has been shown to be bulletproof as a kid, so yeah.

 

[AKM sama]

Let's not derail this thread.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I think the question was basically answered though; if more staff input is needed, I'll leave it open. But I'll let others decide if it's concluded or not.

 

[Antvasima]

I think that it should be fine to close this.
