"Borrowed Attacks" Tidbit

Post by VegettoEX » Fri Jan 09, 2009 11:15 am

Hey, all!

I know it's been a long time since we posted anything up in this section, but we have a new page for everyone to check out and give some last-minute suggestions & read-throughs on.

We have a new "Tidbit" called "Borrowed Attacks". You can probably infer what it's about right from the title.

So what do we need? Well, we're pretty sure we grabbed most of the examples of this that happened, though there might be some we missed. Can you think of any? The chat helped out with a bit, so thanks!

We're not purposefully excluding DBGT, so if you have any concrete examples, let us know. It is most helpful if you have actual episode numbers (DBGT or otherwise) to go along with your suggestions, since that will let us easily dig into the DVDs and grab the necessary screen-shot.

Also, any random typos or textual inconsistencies that you can point out would be appreciated. Finally, I desperately need an image to represent Cell and the Genki-Dama down at the bottom. I was thinking of maybe resorting to an image from one of the recent video games, but I don't have a working video capture system anymore. Help is appreciated!

Very interesting new material. The thing I noticed was the look of everything and how nice it all kind of blended in. The pics brought back some nostalgia from old times and that more than anything helped to sell the little tidbit to me. Overall good work.

I personally think it'd be safe enough to count Goku and 18's Kienzan attacks as "the real deal."

Everything looks good as-is, but I thought of a few little things that you could mabye add:

- Pointing out when something is filler (e.g. the Cell Jrs.' attacks, Cell using the Shiyo-Ken) or non-canon in general (Tullece using the Power Ball, etc.), stuff like that.

- Would it be worth noting that whenever Goku uses it, he states that he's using Tien's move?

- While Gohan is the first person to use the Masenko, didn't it originate with Piccolo? In the Viz version it's noted as "Piccolo's signature move!", so would it be presumable that he could use it?

- Kaio-shin uses a sort-of Shunkan-Ido-like technique after he merges with Kibito, so could that go under the "Variations" part?

- It's only in the Budokai games that Cell uses the Genki-Dama; he never has it as an attack after Budokai 3.

- Could we assume that Freeza got the idea to use the "Energy Slicers" (as they're labelled in the Sparking! games) from when Kuririn sliced off his tail with it and he thought it could be effective if it was powerful enough to cut off a piece of his body?

That's all I gots for now.

I was thinking about doing that, but not sure how to do it without cluttering things up. Maybe an alternate color-coding for the text?

Maybe. I don't think it matters too much, personally.

Is that in the original...?

Good point. Thinking about also tossing in Chibi Buu's, as well.

Right, which is where I would think a screen-shot from said games would make sense, because while he noted in the original story that he COULD do it, those games are the only places we see it.

Also was considering tossing that info in there.

Thanks!

Goku can use Kienzan too, or at least an attack that looks exactly like it. He cuts Super Buu in half with it upon his return from the after life.

I actually think that'd be a great way to do it.

Not that it makes much difference, but did you take it to mean that I was noting that Cell only uses it in the video games, or that the only games he uses it in are the Budokai games? Because I meant the latter.

Bukûjutsu is mentioned twice, but there's no actual section for it. Why?

You could just have one panel for Bukujutsu that says "just about everyone in the freakin' universe." :D

I don't particularly think so, to be honest. It doesn't talk about Videl's training with the technique, which I think is pretty important as far as borrowed techniques go. It could also be more thorough in how the techninque became easier for Goku, how it replaced the Kinto'un as a fast travel option, and other such things. It just seems odd to mention Bukûjutsu as the "most-borrowed technique", and then to not give it a slot in the list of borrowed techniques!

All fair points. Very interested in hearing other thoughts on it.

Freeza's Kienzan is known as Tsuibi Kienzan (Tsuibi roughly translates to homing).

The only thing that I have to say is that totally I agree with listing Buu and Kibito-Kaio as borrowers of the Shunkan-Ido and using different colored font to note which cases of borrowing are canonical or not. Other than that the page looks great and I love the nice images!

Dubism alert! Unless Bio-Broli is a term used by the fans from long ago or is in the original.

Viz is wrong in calling the Masenko Piccolo's "signature move", since Gohan's use of it is the first time it's ever seen. During the battle with Freeza though, Piccolo does use an attack that looks very similiar, but he doesn't name it. Daizenshuu 7's technique dictionary says Piccolo taught Gohan the attack, and lists Piccolo as one of its users.

On Freeza and the Kienzan, from Daizenshuu 7's technique dictionary's entry on Freeza's "Pursuing Kienzan":
A Kienzan that senses the opponent’s ki and continues pursuing them. It can also be fired in a pair. It seems he imitated the Kienzan that Krillin used.

I'm pretty sure (not 100%) it originates in the Daizenshuu.

While I'm here, Goku first used the Taiyo-ken in the 23rd Budokai against the four Tenshinhans, not against Vegeta. ;)

Yeah, "Bio-Broli" is used in Daizenshuu 6 and 7. It might even be from the movie too, but it's been too long since I've seen it.
