Did Nappa destroy a city in the manga?
In the anime nappa nuked a city, it's clearly visible . But in the manga it looks like a country sized attack.

Yeah, he destroyed the city he and Vegeta landed in with that finger explosion attack.

But it's never stated on the scans, they even say none of the cities near the earthquake were responding.Super Saiyan Turlast x4 wrote:Yeah, he destroyed the city he and Vegeta landed in with that finger explosion attack.

And if by "scans" you mean "the pages that the manga is printed on and/or the digitally-available manga release"...flashback0180 wrote:But it's never stated on the scans

So basically you want to find out, if Nappa only destroyed that city or an entire country.
I don't think it's labelled as anything other than East City, how big that is compared to a real world country is anyone's guess, but of course countries don't have fixed sizes...

Re: Did Nappa destroy a city in the manga?
Even if it was stated that Nappa's attack 'only' destroyed a city, that particular city certainly appeared to encompass a very large landmass:
So if we assume said blast destroyed everything we see illuminated on the page, then I suppose it could technically be labeled as a 'country-buster' by RL standards. /shrug

Re: Did Nappa destroy a city in the manga?
The digital copies, I have gone through a lot of materials available online, approximately 1/4 translations mention he destroyed the city. While others translation never stated it. Leaving us with a image of a country level blast .VegettoEX wrote:And if by "scans" you mean "the pages that the manga is printed on and/or the digitally-available manga release"...flashback0180 wrote:But it's never stated on the scans
.
More or less, this topic had been bugging me for a long time. Considering piccolo could instantaneously destroy the moon, with some Effort, Nappa doing a country level blast makes sense due to the difference in power .dbgtFO wrote:So basically you want to find out, if Nappa only destroyed that city or an entire country.

Also considering the fact even Deamon king Piccolo destroyed a city with nearly the same effort.

I think you missed my point (which I suppose is my fault for not being direct about it). Please do not bring fan scanlations of legally-and-widely-available material into the conversation.
