oozaru goku's resistance to electricity

[HrishikeshM]

we all know that a person who has enough durability can survive the effects of electricity on the external body, such as burning etc.

but what about the effects of electricity on the internal organs? can they be "tanked"?

ac electricity can disrupt the nerve signals from the natural pacemaker in your heart and cause fibrillation. This is a rapid fluttering vibration, too weak to pump blood. If the rhythm isn't restarted with a defibrillator, it's usually fatal. dc electricity can have the same effect by causing the entire heart muscle to contract at once, which also breaks the pacemaker rhythm.

basically, electricity interferes with essential electrical signals in the body and will cause your muscles to clench. The fluctuation rate of 60 Hz makes these currents particularly suited to screwing up the nerves that regulate heartbeat. This can cause a heart to flutter instead of beating normally, which kills a person quickly.




tldr: you can tank the electricity only externally, not internally. so surviving electricity should be treated as a resistance feat. but you can still deduce the minimum durability required to tank the external effects of electricity as well. i would like to know all of your thoughts too.

Considering that the current is the only factor that can cause the severe damage and not power/tension, I would agree with that: resistivity doesn't depend of durability, so someone just need to resist those amperage levels; at least that is my opinion.

 

[Reppuzan]

I'm pretty sure that we don't give everyone who repeatedly survives electrocution resistance to electricity.

They should only get resistance if they're clearly unaffected by certain electrical attacks rather than simply "tanking them". For instance, Misaka Mikoto can withstand the voltage of a military grade taser with ease, giving her resistance. Ash Ketchum has repeatedly survived electrocution from Pikachu and other Pokemon, but since he's clearly affected by it, he doesn't get resistance.

 

[Antoniofer]

Of course, if any, it should be apply to people that react different to normal persons (more current for more time with minor effects), characters doesn't wins resistance by only surviving.

 

[HrishikeshM]

wouldn't that still be a case of limited resistance since you are not dying when you should have?

 

[Reppuzan]

@Hri

Not really. Getting struck by a lightning bolt several times doesn't make you electricity proof.

 

[PaChi2]

Normally fiction doesnt go by the real life effects of electrical wounds, so characters not getting internal damage, heart attacks or such is not enough for electricity resistance.

However:

Something like Brook, who tanked a blodlusted lightning from Big Mom is clearly an electricity resistance feat unless you want to argue PIS. But normally, tanking lightning with minor wounds should not be considered resistance.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Surviving or withstanding a lightning bolt is just durability, not enough proof for resistance. If a character consistently takes hits from electric shots and is generally portrayed as being unaffected by any of the behaviors of electricity, then resistance can be added. Immunity to electricity is just classic NLF generally speaking unless the character happens to be an extremely high tier with legitimate lore to back it up, but that's off topic.

 

[HrishikeshM]

in that case i have one more question:

goku had resistance to eletricity previously because he was unfazed by roshi's electricity, going up to Kami's lookout, etc. the feats are mentioned in this thread and his resistance was removed quite abruptly without making a crt...

so what about that?

Welp, if Goku was damaged as the attack do normally, then is no resistence.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Yeah, Goku was effected by Roshi's Electrictiy.

 

[HrishikeshM]

he was affected but clearly did not die

and the resistance was there before

 

[Antoniofer]

Not die isn't considered resistence.

 

[HrishikeshM]

then i ask very politely, why was there resistance in the first place?

 

[Antoniofer]

Most likely someone confused not die with resistance, but not sure.

 

[Numbersguy]

Surviving electrity doesn't make you inmune to it, if the character was inmune to it said character won't be screaming in pain or having spams upon being attacked with electricity.

 

[HrishikeshM]

well the question was on resistance, not immunity...

 

[HrishikeshM]

even the obd still has resistance to electricity for goku...

 

[Dark649]

It does not matter since we are not the Odb, you need to check if the lightning affected and hurted Goku, if yes no resistance.

 

[HrishikeshM]

it had absolutely no effect as soon as goku turned oozaru...so atleast he is resistant to it in his oozaru form

Pretty sure, at least in the anime, that Freeza tanked a lightning bolt to the head and literally didn't even budge and just kept casually talking with Goku.

when was this? against ssj goku?

[Reppuzan]

What are you even asking for at this point?

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Sounds like it's better to close the thread since it was pretty much answered.

 

[HrishikeshM]

What are you even asking for at this point?

that oozaru goku fits the definition of resistance to electricity, so kindly add that and close this thread. thankyou
