He survived? At least it went through him.

...There's no way he should have survived that. :|

...Well then. That was...unexpected. I guess we have to give them that, most predictions seemed to be it'd either hit, or it'd miss outright. Beyond that though...huh.

I think it just scraped his side rather than outright passing through.

Anyway, I'm disappointed. I wanted him to dodge it. Or tank it.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Kuririn is still sitting at 1,500, a blind Zarbon should have the reflexes to dodge this. If only Kuririns potential was unlocked this Kienzan would have more oomph and a better chance of hitting Zarbon.

This skirmish has gone on long enough for Nail to swoop in and save the day. Although having Nail take out both Dodoria and Zarbon seams anticlimactic, Vegeta did the same so not so much really. This is just shorter so it seams like that.
I guess Dprez called it. But yea I was expecting him to dodge it. So I guess Nail should be coming within the next page or two.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I think the first panel is supposed to show us that Zarbon regained his sight and was able to dodge the attack, but the artist didn't do a very good job showing it on the second panel. Or at least that's what I want to believe. If that's not the case, then Krillin really has a bad aim or is just plain dumb aiming at the side.

Dammit Krillin, he was in point blank range! If it was not going to kill him, it should have at least taken an arm.

I can't tell if the first panel is Zarbon seeing the Kienzan and moving aside or his wincing pain from getting hit. If it's the latter then Krillin has terrible aim.

I wonder if Universe 4 will get a special chapter? It won't surprise me in Universe 4 that Buu was hatch as Super Buu instead of Fat Buu after being release from his egg.

I'm guessing what happened was that he saw it coming at the last second (first panel), tried to dodge, but didn't have enough time to get all the way out of its path (it was thrown at fairly close range after all) so instead of getting cut in half he just got his side slashed open. Notice that he's holding his hand over the wound when he goes into monster mode. I'm guessing that's not just a little scrape if there's that much blood and he feels the need to clutch the wound like that.... it's just not enough to kill him on its own, either.

It's sort of like a more severe version of when Nappa got that "just barely" little cut on him from Krillin's Kienzan grazing him as he narrowly dodged it, except Zarbon here didn't have someone yelling "get out of the way you idiot" to let him know that he should've dodged as soon as possible even if he couldn't see where he was dodging to.

Zen Buu beat Goku and Vegeta inside himself so that is most likely the divergence point.

Freeza and Cooler are members of a freakishly resilient species who can apparently survive practically anything that doesn't wipe them out completely. I mean, Cooler was a freaking eyeball!

I seriously doubt that Zarbon is capable of that.

And is there anything that would make Zarbon's race impossible to be more resilient than normal humans?

Not really, but that shouldn't render him any less susceptible to die from a point blank Kienzan. I mean, Zarbon died from having a hole shot through his stomach. I seriously doubt that he could survive being cut in half.

But he isn't cut in half, and it's possible that the Kienzan didn't hit a vital point.

Its probable that even a human could survive that wound if he received medical treatment. Let alone an alien.

I was commenting on DBZGTKOSDH's statement about Freeza and Cooler. Why even bother bringing them up, if he wasn't referring to surviving from a Kienzan in general? Of course someone could survive a minor scrape from one.

Zarbon getting killed off from the Kienzan would be too obvious. I'm kinda glad that he quickly doge it.
