So Piccolo can suddenly sense SSJ Blue now??? Wtf

Post by GodVegetto91 » Sun Mar 29, 2020 1:49 am

In the latest manga chapter, Piccolo was very surprised to learn that he couldn’t sense Goku’s energy..(He was in UI Omen during that moment when he attacked Saganbo, and Piccolo and Gohan couldn’t see him) Even though he knows that Goku has SSJ Blue, and often uses that form... Which has God Ki that mortals like Piccolo shouldn’t be able to sense.

This kind of writing is absurd. Very obvious plothole/contradiction here. Even Gohan suggested that it was because of Goku’s speed, and not his form, that he couldn’t sense him. hence that he too, would have been able to sense Goku in a motionless form. (SSJ Blue.)

What does this tell you guys?

Didn't everyone start sensing Blue's power mid way through Super, despite it being established to not be possible ? There's definitely a lack of care when it comes to Super's writing, as it's constantly contradicting itself, even on things just established.

Yeah, that last chapter of the manga was a big clustterfuck in terms of writting.
That being said, I think Piccolo judged Goku's power on his actual performance instead of sensing him? I don't know how he would be able to do that.
Cheap writting no matter how you look at it.

The manga has never indicated that Blue could not be sensed (it didn't cover the events of Resurrection F) and the TOP has several instances of the characters seemingly sensing the ki of Goku or Vegeta while they're using Blue.

It seems consistent that the ki of Super Saiyan Blue can be sensed in the manga.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Hmmm. Interesting. What about SSJ God? Otherwise UI Omen is the first time (form) in the manga of which it is revealed not to be sensed.

Good point, and I don't recall that statment being made for the SSG form either in the manga, so yeah, we were probably mixim different medias/continuities.

depending on the original words used, he might be refering to the "pressure" of Blue, instead of just Ki.

Actually no guys, it WAS stated in the manga that SSJ God’s energy cannot be sensed either. After just checking. Dunno about SSJ Blue though. In either case, it is weird for Piccolo and Gohan to imply they can suddenly sense it now.

That might suggest Piccolo became strong enough to sense Goku’s energy in SSGod and SSBlue forms, but he can’t do that with Goku moving at hyper-speed.

The problem is... No such statement was ever made. We are completely left on our own to speculate.. For all we know, the writers have completely forgotten about the whole “God ki cannot be sensed by mortals thing”, and they just don’t give it a thought at all. Which is the worst case scenario, and the one i fear may be right. They never take their own show seriously, the fans certainly take it more serious.

I fail to understand what that has to do with my statement. Could you elaborate please?

I thought Piccolo learned to sense it because Kami was part of him.

Yet no such definitive statement was made. Everything is left up to speculation.

I just assumed Piccolo didn't know Goku was in a godly form at the time, and that's why he couldn't sense Goku's energy. No one can tell Goku was using Omen (or SSB, considering he pops up after in base form) until Moro points it out. I wouldn't say there's any indication that mortals can suddenly sense god ki right now.

Dende can sense God ki since he's a deity as stated in Dragon Ball Super, episode 7, so I believe it's the same logic behind Piccolo's ability to sense God ki.

That makes sense as well and it wouldn’t require further assumptions. Good call.

That’s actually a really stupid assumption and makes ZERO sense. If Piccolo learns that he can’t sense Goku... Then he SHOULD assume that Goku must be in a God form for that to be the case (hence SSJ Blue or something.)
