Guldo's Time Freeze

[Sin]

As a kid one of the powers I thought was underrated and wish was explored more was Guldo's Time Freeze ability. There aren't really any limits shown to it other than that it stops when Guldo stops holding his breathe, surely then this would be one of the most useful moves in the series don't you think?

What are people views on this technique, do you guys think it has other limits such as an area limit? And does it really 'freeze time' or is it something else entirely?

It's never explored because it's broken.

I think it works like the Spirit and Time Room. Guldo appears temporary in a different dimension where time is non-existent or moves extremely slower. Or maybe that happens to him as well as everything around him to an extend, but not the entire planet or universe.

And I agree that it's underrated; it's a pretty awesome ability, and it makes Guldo the most interesting of the Ginyus, to me.

I think it would become useless once you start getting super saiyans and characters that can move faster than he can inhale.

Also, in the manga, his power was never explicitly shown to be tied to his breath. He just couldn't maintain it for long periods of time.

But I agree. I always wanted to see more of that, but, while Toriyama could come up with people with interesting powers, he never seemed to have any good ideas for how to use them. I'm looking at you, Chaozu. Of course, the same thing could be said for Toei. They have the presence of mind to pair up the two strongest telekinetic characters for battle, and all they can think of to do is have them headbutt each other. What? I... just... don't even... arrrrgh! That's like bringing Julia Child onto your cooking show so she can fix your fucking car!

It seemed to me more like telekinetic stasis than actual time stopping.

This went the way of the Devilmite Beam: it was taken out because it could end fights instantly.

That really got me. I guess Toei matched them up for being the same height and didn't even consider their similar powers.
