In the Ocean Dub, this is what Vegeta says after taking a beating from Recoome - "This freak is too much. I don't have anything left to defend myself let alone take him down. If only there was some way to summon enough strength to defeat this overgrown android!"

I wonder if they got Recoom mixed up with No.16?
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

That makes sense. I'm not that into Battle Powers, so I didn't pick that up.

NASA actually says you can live for one to two minutes, and what kills you is there is no air to breathe. Holding your breath won't work because the air will force its way out of your lungs through your nose, mouth and ears.

Basically, space kills you exactly the same as drowning does.

Yamcha, Tenshinhan and Chaozu fought and defeated the Ginyu Force on Kaio's planet. (filler)

Also, I'd like to suggest something to you guys. Could we keep it to actual facts, rather than just speculation on our part? People are saying things like Yamcha being on par with Perfect Cell because he could keep up with Olibu. That's very debatable. Olibu could've been going easy on Yamcha, and Paikuhan could've only caught off-guard a Perfect Cell who wasn't even powered up. Same with SSj2 Goku being able to keep up with Kid Boo (a counter-argument could be that it was a warm-up fight in which Kid Boo wasn't being serious).

Piccolo never splits in two in the manga, but he does use the split-form technique, along with Kuririn, against Nappa in the anime.

The DBZ Anime Special mentions that Piccolo’s practice of splitting into two and fighting himself was Toriyama’s idea.

Yeah, I should have mentioned it, but I couldn't remember if Piccolo actually could do something similar.

That's what I was remembering! Thanks!

In fact, you'll probably live longer if you don't hold your breath. If you take a breath and are then exposed to a vacuum, the lack of outside pressure will cause the air in your lungs to expand, possibly beyond the capacity of your lungs to hold it. In other words, your lungs asplode.
To a strong man, the end justifies the means. To a stronger man, the means justify the end.
