You mean other than a planet busting attack being far too much for a pair of characters far stronger than Cell and SSJ2 Gohan to stop?

There is exactly no feat in the entirety of Dragon Ball that supports Cell's boasting, not when much more powerful characters are incapable of doing so.

Ew, I hate applying real world 'laws' to fictional work. Do you know if the inverse square law is even applicable in the world of DBZ(a world where animals can talk, people can fly, entire buildings are contained within tiny Capsules, etc.)? Have any characters stated that if they release the totality of their energies, said energies get weaker the farther they spread outward from the source? I cannot recall such a statement. I can also tell you that in the fictional world of comics, that law certainly does not apply.

IF the inverse square law is applicable in the DBZ-verse, you mean?

Furthermore, 2 billion % was just a rough starting point. Using logical approximations, Vegito would have been around 500 billion % more powerful than Cell(at the very least.) Just saying.


Well, I'd say, the proof is that when an explosion happens in DBZ: It doesn't expand forever with equal intensity. eek!

Sorry, but you can't arbitrarily ignore an IRL scientific fact while at the same time applying them to your reasoning (The size of the solar system and galaxies, etc).

It's sad that they think that after all the increase in power, the Z fighter stopped at planetary. Terrible logic.

Carver, you're too stupid to even know what the difference between busting a planet and busting a star is, in terms of required energy to do so.

Sit down, shut up, and let the smart people talk.

Nah, it'd take the same amount of energy to cause a planet to blow up into tiny bits or even vaporize. What happened on Namek was just for dramatics. Unless Frieza's attack was literally a time release attack, there's no way it would have blown up.

Basically, the whole "core" thing was just a plot device.

Cell couldn't destroy the Solar System (or even a single star of any size) simply because no one in the series has done anything close to that level, and whatever Toriyama may have intended when he wrote the line where Cell boasts about his power is completely irrelevant, if he didn't bother to depict any of his characters going into outer space and blowing up a star system or alternatively a black-hole or a huge star like VY Canis Majoris then he simply failed to put them on such level.

Author's intent is worthless without proper execution.

LMChocolateAO...it was stated ON PANEL that Buu destroyed an entire Galaxy in the manga.
There's a map of the Z universe in Daizenshu, it's 4 'galaxies'. But there are so much things that are inconsistent

And presumably he destroyed Vegeta the same way he destroyed Namek. Core explosion. Even in Bardock movie lava shoots up and everything. Has to some reason he shot for it

Lol...the Buus can lose energy. Fat Buu energy was being depleted when he was taking a beating from kid Buu. You havent said a thing to take away from Cell power, let alone Buus.
And it was just planetary.

The only time Fat Buu lost energy, and it was commented on the fact it was the only time.

[QUOTE=14145444] He was boasting about it having the power too but he didn't put the power into it too? How does that make any sense. And it's not like he was easily doing anything to Gohan who was weaker.

What does this have to do with anything? Clearly Kid Buu's blast contained much more energy than what is required to destroy a planet, as Goku was capable of overpowering planet-busting attacks back in the Saiyan Saga.

...Or are you one of those people who thinks collateral damage is the only way to gauge energy attacks in DBZ..?

Did any character in the history of DBZ ever try to destroy more than a planet on panel?

Given that characters from back in the Saiyan Saga were capable of planet-busting, it's ludicrous to limit characters from the Cell/Buu Sagas(who were literally BILLIONS[or in Vegito's case, QUINTILLIONS]of times more powerful) to planetary attacks. Get real.

Perhaps that is because no character has ever packed that much energy into an attack w/o it getting negated. eek!

Lol, there's a huge difference.

I merely compared the size of the milky way galaxy in DBZ to the size of the RL milky way. I'm not trying to apply real world laws of physics to a world where many of those laws clearly do not apply(like you are.) When Akira made a giant talking dragon that can grant any wish, I think he pretty much took a shit on physics.

No time to respond to Galan, but I've heard this is actually a Japanese mythology reference (the blow up core thing), or some shit. Will look up when I'm back from work.

Super Saiyan God form?

http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Saiyan_God

Since the new movie's supposedly canon I guess it retcons SS4 as the form beyond SS3.

Still, at a loss of words for this...

Well, a new form IS the only way to explain how he gets beaten at ssj3 then looks like normal ssj and is all facing Bills at the end, or what looks like the end.

Heh, maybe. Was thinking somethin like that, but either way that Death Battle will be outdated now due to lacking the SSG form.

Akira Toriyama had nothing to do with the movie. It was written by Yūsuke Watanabe and directed by Masahiro Hosoda. Akira Toriyama is only credited as the writer of the original series.
