Honest question, since I've never read Dr. Slump (it was published once in my country, but it was cancelled):
What would Arale do against Buu? I mean, she may be strong, but he can regenerate.
What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rivals?

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
But since she's from a gag manga then she is immortal too (there's actually a running joke in Dr. Slump about a devil called Chibiru and he tries to kill all the Dr. Slump characters to send them to his boss the devil or something like that, but they never die because they are from a gag manga, so his plans are screwed up). I guess she would probably throw a million poops at Buu until he got grossed out and ran away to a different planet or ended up becoming her friend and poking poops with her instead 
Seriously, Dr. Slump is so awesome.

She can beat him up, like Pure Boo & Beerus did to Mr. Boo. We don't know if Boo can die from this, but he can get KOed. And maybe the N'cha Cannon will be strong enough to erase him completely.Wobbuffet wrote:What would Arale do against Buu? I mean, she may be strong, but he can regenerate.

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
I'm honestly not sure if it's from the manga or not (surely it is though), but Arale does seem to have some kind of energy blast in one of the newer J-Stars videos that showcased her. Maybe that'd be strong enough to obliterate all of Boo's cells.

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
That's the N'cha Canon I mentioned (it's in the manga). It's an energy blast she fires from her mouth (by screaming "N'CHA!").Gyt Kaliba wrote:I'm honestly not sure if it's from the manga or not (surely it is though), but Arale does seem to have some kind of energy blast in one of the newer J-Stars videos that showcased her.

At what point in the manga does she get that? I've still never gotten any volumes past...3, I believe.And wait a minute...why in the world did they not give her that in Tenkaichi 3?! I guess it could be cuz she didn't use it in Dragon Ball, but still...

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
She is a gag character and is as powerfull as she needs to be to make the chapter funny. If you take her power seriously, she is probably equal the the ginyu force. But she has nothing like an official power level.

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
Arale wasn't featured in later portions of Dragon Ball for the same reason that Vegetto never came back. Because it'd just plain be unfair. 
Dragon Ball ended in 1997.

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
First of all, Arale is a gag character as stated here. She always will be strong as she need to be. She will be stronger than everyone else. She would defeat all anime character at the same time with one blast if the plot requires.
In terms of power, she has 0 relevance!!

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
Because the plot required it. If the plot wanted to, she would defeat them all in the next chapter because of same gag reason or because she didn't try her best before or something. Gag manga are like that.

Everything is plot-driven. If the plot required it, Raditz would be weaker than Goku.

Gag Arale is driven by gag plot requirements!!DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Everything is plot-driven. If the plot required it, Raditz would be weaker than Goku.
That's why I don't take Arale in to account!
Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
Obviously, that was not what I was saying at all. I'm sure that you understood clearly enough my point about the plot of a gag manga being completely free, unburden by coherency and even logic, unlike other manga that are not gag manga and aren't nearly as free, so I don't know why you even commented like you didn't understand what I was getting at.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Everything is plot-driven.

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
Arale was beaten fair & square in non-gag fights, and she never defeated any of there opponents, so I see no reason to assume that Arale would beat them the next day, gag manga or not.

Re: What if Arale came into Dragon Ball Z and beat the rival
All I said was that Arale could have beaten them the next day easily since this is gag manga and so any reason would be reason enough to do so. You are just dancing around my point.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Arale was beaten fair & square in non-gag fights, and she never defeated any of there opponents, so I see no reason to assume that Arale would beat them the next day, gag manga or not.
