Could Tenshinhan's Kikoho or Dodonpa be a planet buster?
At full power. Goku never charges up a full power kamehameha targeting the ground or else it would destroy the Earth. The kamehameha was a technique that was used waaaay back in the dragon ball manga just like Tien's tribeam and dodon ray. What do you think?

If he's strong enough, then logically it would be.
Re: Could Tenshinhan's Tribeam be a planet buster?
Perhaps not to an extent of completely evaporating a planet, but destroying it to bits? He may be able to pull it off. 18,000 Vegeta was going to, wasn't he?
Re: Could Tenshinhan's Tribeam be a planet buster?
Sure. Power a blast strong enough to hit the core, why not?

Re: Could Tenshinhan's Tribeam be a planet buster?
I took him over 20 blasts on Cell to make a sizable hole in the ground. Not only that but he was nearly dead after doing the Kikoho Barrage. Now if he had the stamina to endure the attack's strain until it hit the planets core, perhaps but I dont see him lasting long enough to hit that point.FoolsGil wrote:Sure.

Granted it was powerful enough to stop Imperfect Cell for a small amount of time so maybe if he had Kaio-ken he may be able to do it. But combine that with the strain of his Kikoho and I doubt hed be able to fire off anymore than 3 blasts before passing out and/or dying.

It's a kiai technique, so no.

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Re: Could Tenshinhan's Tribeam be a planet buster?
Yes, because the main characters always make sure their blasts will destroy the planet. Do you really think Vegeta's self-destruct was weaker than Freeza's death ball? One blew up the planet and one blew up less than a city. That's not a really good comparison IMO.KentalSSJ6 wrote:I took him over 20 blasts on Cell to make a sizable hole in the ground.

Re: Could Tenshinhan's Tribeam be a planet buster?
From what we've seen, the attacks that destroy planets are big ball types (like Freeza's & Pure Boo's ki blast) or big ki blasts (like Super Kamehameha & Gyarik-Ho), when they are strong enough, and when they are fired to the core of the planet. A kiai doesn't have the same range, nor the same destructive power to do that (it doesn't explode, it destroys whatever is in its range).dbgtFO wrote:Why, if I may ask?DBZGTKOSDH wrote:It's a kiai technique, so no.
Plus, Tenshinhan fired so many of them, yet nothing happened. Which proves my point.

Re: Could Tenshinhan's Tribeam be a planet buster?
Yeah, but Super Gotenks fired off dozens of ki blasts at the Earth and nothing happened. Unless the characters are intending to destroy the planet, it's hard to gauge what they are actually capable of.DBZGTKOSDH wrote: Plus, Tenshinhan fired so many of them, yet nothing happened.

Plus Cell took the brunt of the blasts anyway.

Big ball types or large ki blasts. All other types don't have the destructive power & range to destroy a planet.dbgtFO wrote:Yeah, but Super Gotenks fired off dozens of ki blasts at the Earth and nothing happened.
The blasts went past Cell, judging from the ground.Plus Cell took the brunt of the blasts anyway.

Its main difference between ki blast-type techniques is that its trajectory cannot be seen. Its destructive power is formidable enough to instantly obliterate the Tenkaichi Budoukai arena. Indeed, it is a technique characteristic of the Tsuru-sen School, whose objective is to mercilessly kill people. Because this technique heavily uses up one's internal energy, it can only be used to decide the match in a single shot. (Daizenshuu 2, p.206 / Daizenshuu 4, p.111)

Re: Could Tenshinhan's Tribeam be a planet buster?
They all have the destructive power, otherwise they wouldn't hurt whoever is being shot with the blast. Also, Pure Buu disagrees with the notion that you need a big beam or ball. The guidebooks explain that the fighters can just compress their powers to only affect a small area. Theoretically, any attack is capable of blowing the planet to bits with enough power behind it, the person firing it just has to want it that way, and choose not to condense it.Big ball types or large ki blasts. All other types don't have the destructive power & range to destroy a planet.

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.

And how does Boo disagree? He created a big ball to destroy Earth.

Re: Could Tenshinhan's Tribeam be a planet buster?
No, the power is still there, it's just in a small area and doesn't cause collateral damage. If those attacks didn't have the power to destroy planets, they wouldn't harm any of the people they were used on.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:If they are compressed, it means that they don't have the destructive power to destroy a planet.RandomGuy96 wrote:They all have the destructive power, otherwise they wouldn't hurt whoever is being shot with the blast.

No, he created a tiny, baseball-sized ki blast to destroy the Earth. He only charged up another one after Vegeta knocked the first one away.

A planet isn't a person. If a ki blast can't destroy a planet, but can kill someone like Freeza or Cell, then it means that the ki blast has the destructive power to kill them, but not to destroy a planet.RandomGuy96 wrote:No, the power is still there, it's just in a small area and doesn't cause collateral damage.

I just remembered Ultimate Gohan's ki blast that went through the Earth (but missed its core). So, it seems that small ki blasts with high concentrated power can also blow up planets, but they have to be at least Pure Boo level from what we know.No, he created a tiny, baseball-sized ki blast to destroy the Earth.
