Neither he nor Popo can go and deal with the problems personally, because they are gods.Sending Goku to kill Piccolo would essentially be suicide, no different than sending Popo.
According to Toriyama through the manga, Piccolo is a mortal problem, even if Kami created him. I guess according to the godly laws of the Dragon World, even if a problem is created by a god, they are still not allowed to interfere.Piccolo isn't a mortal world problem. He's a demon created by Kami himself.
The book says that the giant monkey with BP of 100 has the destructive power of a battleship's main gun, not that everyone with BP of 100 have the destructive power of a battleship's main gun. It talks specifically about that.No, it doesn't. It is a section in the book talking specifically about battle powers. It says that someone with a battle power of 100 has a certain amount of destructive power. Unlike with a few other characters, it doesn't mention ANYTHING about him other than his battle power of 100. Not his size, not his strength, not his biology, just his battle power. In a sentence right after one talking about his battle power, and how this form has a much higher battle power than his base form, it says "his has the destructive power of a battleship's main gun".
It is blindingly obvious that it is referring to BATTLE POWER. Again: if it was talking about anything other than battle power, it would have been mentioned, just like the blurb RIGHT BEFORE this one mentioned that Goku's physical attributes helped him survive bullets.
I don't believe that they would be different in that. If Daimao was a warrior-type, I would agree. But he is a Dragon Clansman, he isn't made to fight.My question to you is "why would they be even remotely similar?". Namekians are not humans. They are from another planet. They are from another galaxy. They have extremely long natural life spans. They survive entirely on water. They are naturally far more powerful.
Which proves that punches & normal ki blasts can't destroy a planet, even if the BP is high enough. For a planet to be destroyed, it seems that the attacks must reach the core of the planet, which by destroying its core, the planet would either be destroyed after a short amount of time, or instantly. The forms of ki blasts that seem to work effectively are big-ball types (like Freeza's or Majin Boo's techniques) or powerful means (like Kamehameha or Gyarik-Ho)....for the same reason every single ki attack thrown by anyone past Vegeta doesn't destroy the planet they're on.
If Toriyama believed that Kuririn & Kame-sennin were tough enough to repel bullets while not fighting, don't you think that he would have shown it through the gag scenes like he does with Goku?Nothing suggests that, except gag scenes. If this were the case, then simply being caught off guard from any attack would be instant death.
Like I said, I don't believe he will survive. It's my opinion, and you are free to disagree, because like you said, we can't know what would have happened, but we can only make our own assumptions.You can't know that.
We have one example that we know that it doesn't mean literally "many times stronger". Maybe he is talking literally, maybe he doesn't. I don't think that Toriyama had BP numbers in his mind when he wrote that statement, and the expression can be used in a metaphorical way.many times stronger doesn't actually mean many times stronger
Not saying that he was suppressed, just not ready to take the explosion, since he was caught off-guard.a grenade nearly killing Tao doesn't mean anything since he suppressed himself mid battle for some reason
It has nothing to do with the numbers BTW. If I agreed with you, I wouldn't find a problem to change them.just to fit your pre-established notions and your numbers
Well, it doesn't sound realistic to me for his power to fall as much as you claim.as well as your preference that Roshi not be much weaker at the 21st than he was at the 22nd because... realism?
Anyway, I will still think about it a little. I will think about it, and maybe I'll change the numbers (depending to what conclusions I'll reach), but after I'm done with the rest of the manga. For now, I'm done with the first part. I'm gonna work on the Freeza arc later.
