It overpowered Semi-Perfect Cell and kept him at bay for a good duration of time, so yes, it is 'a feat of power'. It also did FAR more to Semi-Pefect Cell than Piccolo's Masenko did to Imperfect Cell. Again: Kikoho>Masenko.
Again, nope. It did zero damage, it just pushed him around for ten seconds. It was literally air to Cell. As numerous examples show, simply pushing someone with a shockwave (or even a physical blow) doesn't mean shit. Again, this shitty technique couldn't even kill Nappa or Daimao when Tenshinhan wasn't many times weaker than them. Unless he miraculously improved it be over a thousand times more potent, and then didn't share it with anyone else while lying about its capabilities just to be a dick, it doesn't have the power to do anything to Cell except push him back.
And considering Piccolo=#17, said Masenko logically would have been able to harm #17. So if a weaker attack could have harmed #17, should I believe that he could inextricably tank a more powerful attack? Lol, no.
Then I guess that attack wasn't more powerful.
Mentioning Tenshinhan's feat EXACTLY as it was portrayed in the manga=/='wanking'. Stop projecting.
What, you mean pushing Cell? If that's all his fanboys said he could do, I wouldn't care. But for some reason that gets taken to mean "he totally could have one-shotted all the villains" even though
Ten himself said he couldn't do anything.
No, as flimsy as Dragonball plot is already, the plot would not collapse on itself for the following reasons:
1) Tenshinhan is using his own life force to stop Cell. So much energy is being used and-
2) All it could do is hold Cell back. Is Cell injured? No. And the biggest reasons-
3) He can't do it forever! Tenshinhan may have lasted ten minutes if that! Compared to a ROSAT Saiyan who, I don't know, an hour? Maybe 3 before they get tired?
He'd need to do it exactly once to end every single villain if it was as strong as the wankers say it was.
And second, when has a weaker character ever did more to a stronger character (outside of the Kienzan) besides scuff their bodies? How many times has the ultimate blast been sent and did nothing but pick up dust? That's like a third of the series right there, nothing but beam blast TANKS and everyone flabbergasted that the attack did nothing. But Tenshinhan? He pushed Cell into a crater, and he kept him there! If it was trash or worthless, Cell would have tanked it! He would have have done any number of things including go through the blasts effortlessly and kill Tenshinhan! That did not happen, so damn the Shin Kikoho must have been something, and if it had that ability on Cell, it's damn obvious that more would have happened to the Androids if they were hit with the blast! Someone go get some towels for the plot, that Tenshinhan wank happened and no Saiyan was there to stop it!
70% Freeza sent SS Goku flying into the ocean.
Kaioshin pushed away Majin Buu.
Base Trunks launched Cell out of the city.
There are numerous examples of an attack simply pushing someone back. Ten's feat is nothing new. But no one ever assumes base Trunks can one-shot the androids, or that Kaioshin can one-shot Majin Vegeta. Again, Ten literally said he couldn't do anything to the androids or a weaker form of Cell. This should end all debate about the Kikoho's supposedly awesome power, if the fact that he didn't use it against them wasn't enough, but no, apparently a lot of fans secretly hate the series, because they keep trying to make it look shittier by trying to make the story make even less sense.
Tenshinhan: "Well, I could use my super special awesome mega technique to take out those two androids that just beat up Vegeta, Trunks, and Piccolo. But that'd be boring. Instead, I'm gonna run in and fake being a pathetic weakling so that the androids can kick my ass. Then I'll lie, and tell everyone I'm useless and can't harm the androids. Then, finally, to complete my master plan, I'll wait until someone strong enough to survive this super special awesome mega technique comes around, and then use it on them. I'm so brilliant."
I just don't get it. The people pushing for the Kikoho being super strong are usually Tenshinhan's fans, right? The OP is, anyway. So why do they hate this character so much while at the same time declaring that they like him? They keep trying to demonize him by making him look like an evil retard. Like, he totally could've killed the androids all along, he just chose not to, and instead watched his friends charge off to their potential deaths. Then he charged in himself, apparently having a death wish. He also could have killed Imperfect Cell and saved the world, but instead chose to sit there and watch the seven and a half foot tall bug monster brutally beat 17 and Piccolo to near death while lying about how he couldn't help them. Apparently Tenshinhan is a sadistic asshole, and his "damn, there's nothing I can do" was meant as a bit of mean-spirited mocking.
