Freeza's hover chair

Post by Polyphase Avatron » Sun Oct 03, 2021 7:25 pm

Kind of a silly topic, but I was just wondering if it had some kind of anti gravity technology or he just levitated it with his own ki or telekinesis.

I just think it's technology. Otherwise, what's the point? It would be like Freeza sitting in a bath tub and lifting it himself. It wouldn't look intimidating at all.

It probably is just technology since Freeza's spacecrafts are capable of moving significantly faster than the speed of light. If he wants a hover chair that can move as fast as a a jet or even a shuttle, it probably isn't a difficult matter.

Didn't we see Freeza getting off the chair and the chair remained in the air? maybe I'm not remembering right.

Daizenshuu 4's "Technology & Supernatural" item dictionary references the pod saying it can fly fast (even though Freeza can fly faster, he likes using it because it's easy)...

... and then Daizenshuu 7's guide (which references the Daizenshuu 4 entry and then adds its own info) says that Freeza's small pod is equipped with an anti-gravity device in the bottom.

If you take a look into the Cold family they don't look scientific at all. Even if they were to "power" it with mental power they would need to design and manufacture the chair first, in other words, give it a thought, and we know they won't.

I always found it interesting to figure out whose technology it was. For example the Tsufurujin were a very advanced alien civilazation. Toriyama mentioned that Freezer was based on Landsharks, they don't care about developing tecnnology they just conquer other races to sell their land. He must likely got his chair from a race similar to the Tsufurujin. If Freezer had so much mental power as to move the chair most likely he would not have that many soldiers, it would be more like in starwars, crhushing people with the mere power of the force.

I think it's cool it's been ages and we are still discussin dragon ball's tech. There has not beeen any other anime as influential as DB.

I, too, think it's neat that people continue to have questions and find interest in tidbits they didn't know about for a series like Dragon Ball, and yes it's undeniably influential, but let's not get hyperbolic about it -- there are countless other series (anime series, even Shonen Jump-branded anime series) far more influential than it.
