Only the beam is the impact area, the rest is just energy splashing off. And, anyway, it's just a trick of perspective that it's splashing across the whole thing, don't you see a few seconds after you linked where we see it's not?SayianBeyondGod wrote:I'm assuming you're going by vague memory here. Watch both scenes clearly and you'll see a obvious visual difference between ki blast struggles. In the galick gun scene we see it impact most of the front surface area of the divine purification, which was much greater than what the Kamekameha did. We also see the galick gun earlier producing shockwaves which spread across the divine purification earlier which may imply the galick gun is having an affect on the entire front surface area rather than a small specific section, which is something we didn't see with the kamekameha.Simere wrote: This explanation would explain why a bullet will penetrate a person but a punch won't. It would explain why a Kamehameha would penetrate but not a large spherical Big Bank Attack. It doesn't explain the difference in results of Vegeta's and Trunks's Galick Gun vs Goku's Kamehameha; they were two identical shapes that impacted roughly the same area. Which is why I asked you to explain where you're basing the intent behind either attack, because it's certainly not explained by how they look.
The same thing happened with the Kamehameha. From one angle it looks like the energy is scattering over a greater area, but from another angle the splash zone is much smaller.
What can perhaps be said is that when Goku won the clash the beam became much larger, which comes back to the question I posed about penetration vs moving. A punch that suddenly became strong enough to punch through your chest would also move you back if it didn't penetrate. Goku's Kamehameha would have similarly moved it back if the Holy Wrath were strong enough to resist penetration.
Also, see the shockwaves in the Kamehameha clash?
By the way, I forgot it was called Holy Wrath. You got me messed up ZombieVito.
