Gogeta's Sparkly Ball

[jamiljamtheman]

In the context of the Fusion Reborn movie, I could have sworn it wasn't an attack that dealt serious damage but rather took the evil out of the kid that had become Janemba.

In video games and such things (I don't remember if it was in the Broly movie), it seems to have been repurposed as just another powerful attack. That sounds like a misconstruing of the original concept of the attack.

Am I understanding this wrong? Just curious if I've been wrong about the original movie this whole time.

I couldn't say you are wrong, his attack did clear out the evil out of the kid instead of just erasing him, and the later called Soul Punisher looked different than other attacks.

they never explained it, so just take it as rule of cool

You can use dragon fist in games, yet enemies don't die just like that and they don't have big hole in their stomach.
The same goes for being hit by Kienzan or Special Beam Cannon.

No matter how this technique worked in Fusion Reborn, they obviously had to make it just a powerful attack in games.

Yep. This is the answer.

(I don't remember if it was in the Broly movie),

It is.



It didn't function the same way, however.

You can likely blame this, in part at least, on Funimation's dub, as their dialogue for Gogeta made it out as if Janemba's ki had something to do with his death.

Original Japanese dialogue:

Gogeta - Paikuhan! I'll get him back for you!

Gogeta - I am neither Goku nor Vegeta! I am he who will defeat you!

Funimation's dialogue:

Gogeta - I am not Goku or Vegeta. I am Gogeta! It's over Janemba! I've come for you!

Gogeta - Every force you create has an echo. Your own bad energy will be your undoing.

As for the Psyche-Oni's appearance after Janemba's defeat, who's to say that isn't what would always have happened when Janemba was destroyed?

I hold that it's not anything more than a flashy ki blast, and that it has no special properties to it at all. Daizenshuu 7's Special Attack Dictionary doesn't even give it a unique entry, and it gives unique entries for other unique movie-specific special attacks (S.S. Deadly Bomber, etc)

Just for the hell of it, not even the 2017 JR stamp rally tickets gave Gogeta's move any worthwhile notice or special effect... his ultimate technique was literally just "Energy shot" LOL.

Theres plenty of attacks in the games that function differently from the show. That should be obvious. Vegeta's Final Explosion doesnt kill him, just leaves him with 1hp. They have to do these type of things to make the game playable.

Super did the same thing with it not killing him.

And that’s exactly why that scene was bullshit. But considering it’s DBS it’s not surprising
