Would the Mafuba work on Super Saiyans?

Post by Lightdasher » Thu May 17, 2018 9:23 pm

Just something I thought about and didn't find discussed previously. Surely, the technique wouldn't work on Goku. But while a Super Saiyan, as Krillin put it in DB Super when Goku prepared the Spirit Bomb for Jiren: "maliciousness creeps inside him". If so, I think it's interesting that such a substantial transformation would make the user more vulnerable in unexpected ways. So far, I only remember Yakon's unique energy draining being used as an opposing force stopping the transformation without inflicting enough damage. Please pitch in if you know of any other instances!

Apparently it can work on anyone regardless of how good or evil they are. It worked on Kami, after all.

pretty sure you dont need to be evil for it to work on you

and since it worked on a guy as strong as future zamasu, I'm sure it would work on a lot of the cast

Considering the whole maliciousness thing you mentioned, I'm now wondering if Goku can be killed at that time by the strongest ability in Dragon Ball: The Devilmite Beam!
"I can't increase my ability through some kind of noisy transformation the way Frost and you Saiyans do. If I wanna become more lethal, I don't have the luxury of cutting corners, I just have to do it the old-fashioned way.

Combat is craft. What matters most is not raw power, but the skill by which you hone it."

I hadn't known of these instances (Vegeta/Kami), thanks for bringing them up! Too bad for my thought though, huh? Really figured it was bound to evil users, but I guess not.

Heheh, maybe that's the technique I should've asked about instead! I too often forget about Devil Man. D:

Because of its use in Super, it will capture anyone. Mortals, Gods, and anything inbetween.

They should have just used it on both Zenos then.

Tell them it's a game and they'll let you do it.

As of Super, the Mafuba is now the most overpowered technique in all of time. As long as you have a cheap, dollar store rice cooker and the proper seal, you can probably capture Zen'o.
I wonder if that's something Freeza would try.

It would also potentially make for some good earlier-in-the-timeline stories, like imagining what if Roshi went to fight the Saiyans and trapped at least Raditz.
