Does buster potential matter in DBZ

It never really seems to make characters more powerful past them being planet busters.Does it truly make them more powerful?

Idk but the fans sure do get hard ons when characters blow up big things.

Yeah, why wouldn't it?

There's only potential for galaxy busting. Due to story it doesn't happen but it can change in DBS since they know someone who can go back in time.

That can be said for plenty of things that involve explosions besides DBZ.

This thread is about DBZ, I'd prefer not to go off topic.

No. Anyone who adheres to ABC logic like "character a can bust mass x, and character b is 100 times more powerful than character a, so therefore character b can bust mass 100x" isn't worth paying attention to. Fans love to speculate power based on how "casually" another feat was done even though their pesky little 'ki control' argument goes both ways :/

@buttersdaman000: Without ABC logic, you get things like Roshi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Super Vegito.

Well Freiza was a Planet Buster and got beaten by Goku who was not a Planet buster at the time.

It is just a show of Power.

Take Whis the power he displayed to destroy half the Planet was so little but so Powerful.

He did not need a big ball of energy like Freiza.

Really enjoying Dragon Ball Super. The way they are going Goku will be back on the forums with a vengeance.

@tensor: so you're saying first form frieza had better ki output and better dc than ssg namek goku ?

I'm not saying don't use ABC logic. You just have to use it correctly.

We know Super Vegito is superior to Roshi, so anything Roshi can do he can do better. However, you can't base just how much better he does it based on arbitrary numbers that mostly come from fan calcs.

So,

Roshi destroyed a moon < Frieza /Buu destroyed a planet < Vegito is stronger than both therefore he can at least destroy a planet. Though, there is room for educated inference, so I would say Super Vegito is at least Multi-Planetary level.

Anyways, we didn't get our first star level feat until beerus so that's even more evidence that people like Cell were talking out their a$$es since the energy required to destroy a star is far lower than the energy required to wipe out a whole solar system lol

I agree with most of this.

Goku have to do spirit bomb or take forever to charge a Kamehameha.They can release their destructive energy force much faster than him.

All that matters is perfect hair~

Goku has fired a Kamehameha in one panel.

@buttersdaman000: technically if you can busy a star, the explosion of said star would wipe out the solar system :p

@imperfect_cell: He has to charge for it to be destructive. What he fired was not planet level.

He can IT while he charges it, like he did against Beerus, and it doesn't take long at all.

@tensor: you must of only watched the anime, it doesn't take that long to charge in the manga.

In the original Japanese manga Supreme Kai said that Buu destroyed Stars in the past.

Not according to ScrewAttack because no matter what they bust, they still have limits apparently.

Well, that's all assuming what one mean's by "wipe out" and if Ki would force the star into exploding like a supernova anyways. If the star simply exploded like the planets do in DBZ, then the only way it's "destroying" the solar system is by throwing everything out of orbit. If Ki somehow forces a Star into supernova stage, then Ki must have some hidden aging and or chemical properties then, right? So, I assume it's the former.

But, even ignoring that, the logic is off. I can bust a megaton of TNT with a grenade resulting in a massive explosion, but that doesn't mean that same grenade could produce that same effect on it's own. So even if Ki can force a star into the supernova stage, I wouldn't call that blast a solar system destroyer.....

No, not really, it doesn't. DBZ fanatic's activity however tends to rise with each new "bust".

I'd say so. It at least shows them what their ki is capable of.

Not for speed, physical strength or actual skill though.

Yes, if a A is stronger then B, then A can do anything B can do and better. Simple DBZ common sense.

Kaio-ken x2

Goku

A technique whereby controlling all of the ki throughout the body, one can momentarily amplify it. However, the toll on the body is also large.

Vol. 20 / Chp. 229

Goku acquired it through his training under Kaio. His power, speed, destructive force, and defensive force, all become twice the usual.

Skills is different but for Speed and strength

When ki increases, so does everything else.
