Yeah sure it is, in a normal situation. Heck, Freeza was defeated by his own "kienzan" so it is super effective.dbgtFO wrote:It actually is unless your opponent is able to regenerate, which was supposed to be a surprise for Vegeta(after thinking he beat Cell with his Final Flash). That is why Kuririn didn't use it in the manga, it was PIS. Just think about how easy it would have been to defeat every opponent who can't use regeneration. Kuririn could have killed all the androids, if they weren't fast enough to evade it, but since the plot requires that humans are close to useless, when it comes to defeating new villains, their best techniques were only used, when the power difference was so big, that it was unable to defeat the main villain anyway.Deity wrote:Super Vegeta's most powerful kick to Cell's vital spot didn't do anything, so why should Kuririn's kienzan decapitate him ? Wouldn't it be the ultimate tecnique if it could slice through anyone, no matter how much stronger the foe was ?
Tenshinhan's fully powered Shin Kikoho was able to render second form Cell unable to move, so why didn't Ten use this attack on the androids when Trunks attacked #18?
All I'm saying is that the difference of power should come to the equation, at least for me it does. Remember when Vegeta saw Dende's healing power and asked Kuririn to render him half dead, Kuririn said he didn't have the power to do it and Vegeta said he would lower his ki/energy/battle power whatever he said low enough so that Kuririn's ki blast would pierce him. So why would the reverse wouldn't work ? Meaning someone being so powerful that his ki/energy/battle power doesn't let a kienzan from a weakling like Kuririn cut him ?
(I hate to bring GT to the equation but Buu is the ultimate regenerator, so...) I haven't seen GT in a while so I don't quite remember, but the last enemy the 1-star Dragon didn't have regeneration abilities as far as I can remember, and I find it very hard to believe that Kuririn's kienzan could do anything to him.
And the argument that "everytime we have seen it being used, it worked" is kind of....weak to say the least.
