The heat would kill him.

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

Seeing that Dragon Ball is a Japanese series, I doubt the army in the DB universe has nukes going by Japan's nuclear weapons policy. If they had them then they would have used them against Piccolo Diamo or Cell. I think all of the power on Earth could beat normal level Saiyans, but higher level ones like Radditz, Nappa and Vegeta could kill us in one attack. Nappa's two finger black was big enough to be seen in space and the blast looks like the size of Texas. Nuclear radiation could kill them, but we don't know how long it will take.

Vegeta tanked his own Galick Gun followed by a Kaio-Ken X4 Kamehameha from Goku who's power level was 32,000 upon activating it. 300 or so is enough to destroy a moon. Not only that, but he tanked a Spirit Bomb shortly after.

We got nothing that can hurt Vegeta. Maybe if every single explosive on this planet detonated on him, but there goes the planet as well. If Saiyans existed, we would be thoroughly screwed.
i doubth we would even have enough power to turn our earth into aftermath namek after frieza has blasted the core out.yet alone come close to destroying earth, and i mean if we are talking interms of DBZ level, we might make it unhabitable with all the nukes wiping everyone off, but to completely destroy vaporize earth is impossible, it would take too much energy and bankrupt us from electricity for trillion years which is older than the universe itself.

I think all of the army's in our world together can beat anyone below Radditz. Piccolo in early blew up the moon with a simple ki beam unlike Roshi which takes a lot of time for him. Someone like Radditz could fly up in the air and blow up the Earth's surface in one blast.

Yep, heck didn't Freeza think lava would kill Goku, and I know Gohan thought it would kill LSS Broly (but his shield saved him). And there's the radiation too, I would guess that its pretty strong during the explosion. Could also gas or poison them if the chance came up.

It would take days or weeks for a Saiyan to die from radiation poisoning, more than enough time to kill everyone on Earth. Besides, their medical technology might be able to cure that, considering their sci-fi level of technology.

If you're counting the movies, then the ultra-powerful Cooler was killed by being pushed into the sun. If that killed him, the heat of a nuclear bomb exploding would kill any saiyan many times over.

The only canon heat tanking we see in the manga is Freeza surviving Namek's explosion which would've been hotter than any nuke.

Freeza's body is different then any Saiyans. He can survive being cut in half while a Saiyan can't since they would die from blood lost like a human would. Buu would survive a nuke due to his body being made out of magic and we don't know how Cell handle radiation poisoning.

You do realize how powerful nuclear bombs are right...? The bomb dropped on Hiroshima? Only 1.38% of it's Uranium actually fissioned. 1.38% was enough to destroy a city and 80 thousand people. What do you think would happen if 100% of that bomb's Uranium fissioned?

If Saiyans existed in Real Life...

... I would be totally pregnant.

I have no idea. :shifty:

The asteroid that smashed into Earth and killed off the dinosaurs released an explosion 10,000 times more powerful than all the nuclear bombs ever built put together.

Earth was unaffected.

I would hardly say "unaffected". The Gulf of Mexico is pretty big.

Not start a big debate or anything, but I don't think Humans are the only race in the universe have a similar generic structure. It would be funny if AT in his next interview states that Saiyans are humans and that humans have been taught space travel over 10,000 years ago to travel to Planet Vegeta :lol: .
That wouldn't bother me at least, as I've thought of something similar for a long time. :D

If Saiyans existed in real life and had all the powers they had in the show, we would at least have to rethink the conservation of energy/mass laws.

The Gulf of Mexico isn't the impact crater. The crater is long since buried.

I'm aware the Earth would likely still be here. What I'm saying is you could look into your backyard and see Fallout 3.

Or more likely recognize the existence of a new, untapped form of energy.

But they do, assuming you believe in the theory of infinite universes. :D Yes, Ancient a**** theory strikes again. There probably are you know whats in this universe, but considering we're nowhere near as powerful, or lack the 'training' to deal with them, it wouldn't be wise to meet.

Also, Goku was one case of amnesia gone horribly wrong. Most of the time, if someone who's always stood out, and was curious about his past suddenly had the chance to learn about his race, I doubt the first thing he would do is kill his brother who has answers.

I doubt any other saiyan who would come to Earth would be as pleasant as Goku.

That said, I would think their abilities to reproduce with humans is due to the fact that they may have shared a common atomic ancestry. And evolved at the same rate, or, I love this theory, I wish it were true, would make so much sense... The Saiyans were part human, and part giant ape, here's why: You know you hear about abuctions, probings, taking of ovaries, sperms, blabla bla, well, isn't it obvious, these extra terrestrials do experiments on humans. Who's to say that the Saiyans weren't some experiment of a highly advanced race of Extra-Terrestrials that used the dna samples, live human specimens for incubations, and fused them gigantic ape DNA to create Saiyans?

There would have of course been trial and error, and probably, in the end, the saiyans got too powerful for the race, and destroyed them, that's when the refugees in the ship found planet Vegeta!

Isn't that an amazing story?

Maybe in this universe, but what about the next?

Also, Human, could have been meant in the sense 'humanoid' which has a certain set of ligaments, and look. By those standards, piccolo is a human, Pikon is a human, and king kai is a human, so is bubbles.

If they were genetically engineered, which I'm sure, 100%, their creators would have probably reinforced their genes to protect them against cancer, and other auto-immune disorders. Radiation, well, it has the capability to mutate DNA, but just how much of it do you need to affect a saiyan who's been tampered with to withstand environmental crises.

I know one thing for sure, the vaccine for many diseases would come with the introduction of the Saiyan into our eco system. :think:
That time your teacher asked you to draw Cell in biology class.
This man is my hero:
To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

Even if we had use nukes, we would be dead before we can use them. In the filler DBZ episode had Nappa destroying a whole army in a single second.
