That's why I added the little phrase "to me". I'm not claiming it to be fact but it's what I think to be true since in both cases, Vegeta and Goku failed to remove the other half of Cell's body despite a direct hit on all of his body.Saiga wrote:That isn't apparent at all, in either case. Nothing hints to Cell allowing it to happen in that image.

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
But if that were the case, there should be some mention of it by Cell. Or at least a hint. The simpler answer is the Cell's upper body took the majority of the force in Goku's Kamehameha.
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!

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
Ah so you are implying Cell wouldn't have time to adjust his power? Well He did it against Goku so I see no reason for him to be incapable of doing it against Vegeta. I believe he did it since I saw the attack make contact with Cell.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Cell was holding back more power against Vegeta than against Goku.TheMightyOzaru wrote: Goku's Kamehameha, which is stronger, hit all of Cell yet he lived.

There are a lot of things in this series that aren't explained. If he took the full force of the attack on his entire body yet only his upper half was injured, I'm gonna have to believe he merely aloud it to happen. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Cell to lose only one half of his body even though his entire body took the full force of that attack.Saiga wrote:But if that were the case, there should be some mention of it by Cell.

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
Well Since his Kamehameha is a great deal stronger than the standard attacks, Cell would have to adjust his power to survive that attack.

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
That's just what I call the "beam animation". Look at the animation that the Final Flash beam of Vegeta gave off. If that was an accurate representation of Earth, Vegeta's Final Flash just engulfed the entirety of the North Pole. A beam aura radius that big would have not only hit Cell but also Android 16, Trunks and Krillin. But after the beam was gone, we see that it was only just a beam the size of a small road and not something as massive as Australia or something. Think of it as a Candle. The light can illuminate a dark room at night but only that fire on the candle is actually hot and burning.
Of course, this isn't the same case with a Spirit Bomb.

You would think that Vegeta would not be clumsy with his attack and miss... Also that blast was "super big" it couldn't have only been as big as Cell's right armTheMightyOzaru wrote:OK no. Cell was very clearly hit, he is also still standing where the beam hit. He took it head on.Angelus wrote:Watch the clip again, Vegeta didn't miss.

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
I tend to believe FPSSJ Goku's kamehameha was stronger than Vegeta's Final Flash beam.
First, Cell was hiding more than 2/3 of his full power (he powered up both in front of Goku and then again after Gohan transformed)
And then again, even if his beam had not missed, there could still be a SPC as a result, given how it took all SSJ2 Gohan's hidden power just to totally wipe out all of his microscopic cells.

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
With both Bejiita's technique and Gokuu's, they were worried it would have destroyed the planet. I think it's possible Gokuu's was weaker only because he was able to trick Seru be teleporting in front of him.

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
Perhaps tanked wasn't the proper term, nonetheless, Cell was enveloped entirely by the Kamehameha. It didn't just make contact with his torso, look at the manna scan I posted on the previous page. It hit Cell in his entirety yet he lived.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:But he didn't manage to tank the Kamehameha.

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
That's a non point. Why is his upper half more durable than his lower half? It would seem to me that Cell let his upper half go. That aside, your argument with Vegeta is if his Final Flash hit all of Cell, he would die. All of Goku's kamehameha hit Cell yet he lived so what makes Vegeta's Final Flash any different?DBZGTKOSDH wrote:But still, the majority of the damage went to the upper half.

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel

Re: Could have Vegeta's Final Flash fully killed Perfect Cel
Vegeta's Final Flash managed to hit the right half of Cell's body. Cell tried to dodge at the last minute, since the Final Flash was clearly heading for the center of Cell's body, yet it took away only half of it, and the injury even had the shape of the ki blast.TheMightyOzaru wrote:That's a non point.

Goku's Kamehameha exploded in Cell's body first, and then covered all of his body. Cell's upper half was completely destroyed. We have never seen a partial suppression of ki. One either suppresses his ki and makes his whole body weaker, or strengthen his whole body with his ki. We have seen Goku concentrating more ki in a certain point of his body, but we have never seen the opposite (taking away the ki from a portion of the body). Besides, Cell took the Kamehameha by surprise, he didn't have anytime to react.
