Realistically, what would Earth's gravity do to characters like Pui Pui from DBZ?

[Imaginym]

Sorry if this is the wrong board, but....

Sometimes in fiction, we get characters like http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Pui_Pui who are home to planets like http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Zoo which has a gravity 10 times higher than that of Earth. Such characters are sometimes of a species native to that planet, and thus, it would be natural for that species to have adapted to living under that specific gravity, no?

Earth has species that are somewhat similar; Some deepsea species live at extreme pressure underwater, and collapse, decompressed by the lesser pressure on land. For example, the blobfish. It lives at 300 meters underwater.

I'm not that smart in regards to mathematics, science, physics or the like, so I'll just quote a result from Google:

"Each 10 metres (33 feet) of depth puts another atmosphere (1 bar, 14.7 psi, 100 kPa) of pressure on the hull, so at 300 metres (1,000 feet), the hull is withstanding thirty atmospheres (30 bar, 441 psi, 3,000 kPa) of water pressure."


Hence the question of this thread's title. If Pui Pui, who's species is native to & adapted to a planet with 10 times the gravity of Earth, realistically, how would he hold up under the lesser pressures?

Would his softer organs stay organized? Would his physiology collapse?

Obviously, this doesn't happen in DBZ, but fiction doesn't always take into account all the implications of science.

His body is just better suited for higher gravities. Going to lower gravities won't have any adverse effects. Assuming the atmosphere remains generally around the same level (He needs X amount of Oxygen per cubic meter to live), he'd just feel lighter on Earth since his body is used to taking SIGNIFICANTLY more punishment from Gravity. This could maybe mean his blood pumps too hard and he has too much blood in his upper body but like humans, can be adapted to in due time.

Also, Higher Pressures are different from higher gravity. And from the looks of Pui Pui's skin, he looks fairly armoured rather than the Blob Fish, so his biology might've evolved to just straight tank the 10x gravity rather than what the Blob Fish does to circumvent it.

Even then,irl your body would eventually become accustomed to the lower Gs and start weakening since your body doesn't constantly have to counteract all the forces acting on it and in all likelihood would be unable to go back to his home planet without getting crushed.

Your body doesn't adapt that quickly like you're implying. In order for his body to have a total breakdown when going back to his home planet, he'd have to spend years on Earth at minimum assuming his body RAPIDLY adapts faster than most.

 

[fandom_12cheeper]

Not really.Even in real life astronauts who spend relatively short periods of time in microgravity still take a bit of time having to reacclimate to earth's gravity.Assuming he spent a decent amount of time on earth while he could probably still go back without getting crushed it would definitely take some time reacclimating to his home planets gravity.

Acclimation and being completely smooshed are different things xD
