To what extent does real life physics apply to Dragon Ball?
Obviously not much, but I'm wondering if there's anything at all that's ki related that can be related to real life physics.
Re: To what extent does real life physics apply to Dragon Ball?
Well KI does seem to function similar to Plasma, it gets weaker the further away from the user. It takes a large amount of energy to transform, but a tiny amount of energy to sustain it. Also when they ascend to higher levels of power they gain sparks

Death is the only real life physic that applies to Dragon Ball. Everything else is up in the air because the alien biology in the series is fucked up.

If you subscribe to the theory that Saiyans are just humans, that were picked up from earth and dumped of on planet Vegeta, then it makes more senseLord Beerus wrote:Death is the only real life physic that applies to Dragon Ball.

People can't breath in space and people die if they are killed. That's about it.

But even then they don't always stay dead. So that's another rule brokenRedRibbonSoldier#42 wrote:People can't breath in space and people die if they are killed. That's about it.

Actually another thing the Arcosian's cannot actually breed with Saiyans, and Humans.

Well, the Moon is destroyed several time with nothing happening and leaving no consequences on Earth. Toriyama doesn't think that much of physics when creating content.

No nothing, but we can draw conclusions from Freeza's son Kuzira.Polyphase Avatron wrote:Is there any canon info that says Freeza was hatched from an egg?Gog wrote:I don't think that the lizard's can breed with the monkey's, and besides can a human, and saiyan lay a egg?Polyphase Avatron wrote:

Kuriza's head is based off of a chestnut, like with Kuririn's namesake.

As RedRibbonSoldier#42 already said, "People die if they are killed". Also, humans are dumb, as in real life.
Though I think we have a member over here who could expand about "real life physics" a lot. He goes by the name Speedster.

I know that it's a complete and 100% percent visual gag, it's just that by doing that gag Akira Toriyama managed to effectively make it so that the Arcosian's hatch from eggsNejishiki wrote:Kuriza's head is based off of a chestnut, like with Kuririn's namesake.

I think it's the same distance, as Toriyama said it was in a Q&A once. It's just that the art portraying it is inconsistent.Kamiccolo9 wrote:The moon is also a lot closer to the Earth, with no apparent effect on the tides or anything.YonedgeHP wrote:Well, the Moon is destroyed several time with nothing happening and leaving no consequences on Earth.
