How big of a powergap is needed to catch the destructo disk?

[DiscountDabi]

We have seen The Destructo Disk Threaten to Harm people far stronger than the person who threw it. Most notably when Krillin used it to Cut off Frieza's tail. But we have only seen it caught in cannon once and thats when Jiren did it in the TOP.

My Question is, How Big of a Gap in Power is Required to make the Destructo Disk Non-Lethal?

Krillin tried to use the destructo disc on Perfect Cell, and it disintegrated when it hit Cell:

It seems Namek level characters (like Krillin) can't scratch Perfect Cell level characters when they're powered up.


I see it a lot like Tien's Tri Beam. Namek level fighters can at least injure Semi-Perfect level fighters with it. But anyone beyond that, and the character needs to be truly off guard for it to scratch them.

Cell wasn't injured by Tenshinhan's Shin Kikoho, he was just pushed down by it. IIRC, the technique was described once as having a lot of "pushing" power behind it rather than being able to legitimately damage opponents on par with Cell.

Not that big of one if you consider Yunba repelling Krillin's barrage of Kienzans. Alternatively, I would like to think that Yunba simply used the rotational kinetic energy of his motion to alter their trajectory as he can be seen afterwards avoiding Kienzan discs and at one point getting cut by one.

Who can say for certain? We never seen a character outright catching or destroying a Kienzan in the manga. Yunba arguably comes the closest but he seems to be just changing their trajectory.

Actually, Cell did display some superficial blemishes and scratch marks after recovering from the barrage. It's not like Frost who came out of the Kikoho completely unfazed and steady in position.

The Daizenshuu characterises it as having "formidable destructive power" appropriate for the Crane School's penchant for killing.

Yeah going by strict power level nerd shit Ten's feat here is already improbable, so I don't get why people say it didn't hurt Cell, he's clearly experiencing a level of physical discomfort that he'd be feeling pain along with it, it's just not giving him a nosebleed or ripping off limbs.
I think they want to lowball it as much as possible because it irritates them with it's perceived impluasibility.
