Theories On The Saiyan Tail

Post by Drabaz » Sun Apr 01, 2007 9:04 pm

Nappa and Vegeta state that they trained their tails to overcome the weakness. But they never explained how or what type of training they went through to accomplish this.

Does anybody have any type of theories as to what they did to overcome their weakness?

Just having their tails pulled on and building up an eventual resistance to it, maybe.

Or maybe it's a mental thing.

Or maybe they had operations done to fix the whole "tail" weakness problem.

And then Nappa had a hair transplant.

It didn't work.

I think it's stated the weakness doesn't effect them because they're elite class Saiyans, while Raditz is the son of a low-level like Bardock. All though, they could've trained their tails in a similar manner that Goku did during his 3 years of world traveling in original DB. I guess it's open to interpretation a bit.

Well, when Goku brings up training his tail to Kuririn during that one Tournament, I always imagined him doing pull ups with his tail. It may not be the most interesting thing, but that's what I always thought of when the whole issue with tail training was brought up.

Same here... My geuss is the elites kept their training regimen a trade secret. Either that or Raditz was like Cui, overconfident and lazy. It could explain why he was surpassed by his own father who seemed to be the exact opposite, always fighting. Those are my theories... :lol: Yeah I'm no professor on the subject. :roll:

I believe Nappa and Vegeta did a lot of push-ups and sit-ups with their tails. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bow chika-bow-wow...

The "Freeza remedy," I take it?

Freeza: "Oh, Vegeta... it's time for your special "training..."
Vegeta: *whimper*

How could I have not seen that coming.... :roll: :lol: Good one S, good one.... No wonder it was Grandpa Gohan who knew what Goku had to do.

Son Gohan Sr. :"Take the 'magic candy' Son Goku!"
Goku: "CANDY! Sure!"
