Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I think he was talking about the Namek scene.
I know. I was pointing out that there was a scene when Vegeta punches Gohan in the stomach. He might have forgetten that scene.

Does anyone remember that awkwardly staged punch 17 gives to Piccolo during Vegeta's fight with 18?

What about GT? I remember one scene that was quite brutal.

The one 17 gave Piccolo before he fused with Kami was nasty.

Nejishiki wrote:There are two punches that come to mind: No. 17 and Piccolo exchanging those blows, taking their turns dealing damage and Boo mercilessly destroying Vegeta's core. The latter, in particular, has staying power and I felt Vegeta's anguish as he was stalling for Goku. It really sells the moment that he's lost the will to move and Mr. Satan is the only one who can save him. The former felt grueling; There were no more strategies to utilize, just two fighters at their wit's end, trying to make one another submit through pain.
These are my favorites too, especially the slugfest Piccolo and 17

Not exactly in the gut, but Goku's one-inch punch against Golden Freeza in RoF was a recent favourite of mine. Probably an homage to Bruce Lee, which makes it even better.

Child abuse with gut punch, courtesy of Vegeta.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Wow! Best thread ever! Just about any gut punch involving Piccolo, Frieza, or Cell was top tier. Gohan's punch to Super Buu was great too, the one where he knocked all the smoke out of him after detonating the ki blast inside of him.

Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

Don't think it's been said yet, Just after Gohan turns SS against Dabura he surprises him with a gut punch.

If anybody has a gif of it it'd make me very happy.

I also really love where Vegeta flies out of the water and lands a double fisted blow on Recoome's gut.
