If Goku Fought Freeza On A Full Stomach

Post by Running Wild » Sat Apr 21, 2012 8:34 am

You know how Goku is when he hasn't ate in hours. I think it would of had a much different effect on how the battle played out if Goku was full before battling Freeza.

I imagine Goku would of still of had an uphill battle against him, but maybe he could of held on longer fighting Freeza using a higher percentage of his power, hell, maybe Goku could of gathered enough strength to defeat Freeza with the Spirit Bomb. Although another thing that piques my curiosity is if Goku was full and had just transformed into a Super Saiyan. He probably would of 1 shotted Freeza right then and there.

Then again I've been reading Toriko where strength lies in meals lol.

I think Gokuu had long since trained to eliminate that weakness, as it only ever seemed to plague him back when he was 12 anyway.

I wonder, but the healing chamber seems to fill his energies.

This seems to be the case. The food deal was a DB point. As a kid, his fighting wasn't refined and traits like this affected him to the point where some fights he'd lose based on being hungry. I think it's something he got over likely when training at Kami's. I can't think of any instance after where Goku having an empty stomach means being on the losing end of a fight. So fighting Freeza as such would have probably had no real effect other than making him feel a little more comfortable, maybe. The healing pod would have accomplished much more than food. Also, didn't Goku chomp on a Senzu shortly before getting to Namek. I think that accounts for 10 days worth of food anyway, even with the amount of fighting he did prior to fighting Freeza.

Right. Technically that Senzu he ate on the hospital was 6 days before he arrived on Namek, and that alone should be enough. But he ate a few more during his trip.
