Freeza vs. the Genki-dama

[rereboy]

Solar systems are named after the star, not the planets in them.

The genkidama is a ball of life energy; stars are cool and all but they are not alive, ergo they have no energy to give. Goku was summoning energy from animals and plants on alien worlds only.

North Kaio, the inventor of the technique, specifically says that Goku can gather energy from the Sun and he even warns him that he has to be careful with that or else he will destroy the Earth. So, it's not stickily just from living things.

Goku already collected energy from multiple things that are generally not considered living so why is this even argued about. If I would describe the Genkidama I would describe it as sphere that is summoned from all and everything in nature. That life forms might in general give more energy is possible. To be fair though I just want to point out that if someone would talk about something like a planet, depending on the situation of course that could also mean "whatever is on that planet" just like some people would for example be able to use the word "city" when actually about those living there.

Just my side comment. I have not read the entire thread yet as I am awake for 24 hours already and might return to do so.

Yes, it's true. Goku creates the Genkidama with the energy of all the stars / planets of the universe. He says this in Dragon Ball Z 93 and also in Dragon Ball Kai 46.
Is there?
