Ki

Post by Maker777 » Tue Oct 10, 2006 4:04 am

Would Goku and co. whilst going about there daily what not, sense Ki from all the earthlings and close Planets/Moons inhabitants and be engulfed in such a massive amount of Ki that it would hurt them? Or is there a way to nullify it/turn it off or are the inhabitants of Earth/other Planets have such an insignificant power level they just ignore it?

I'm fairly sure they just ignore it, or are simply used to it. They only notify ki when it's really high.

You have to imagine: sensing ki is like sensing anything else: sight, smell, etc.

You are constantly surrounded by smells, but the majority of the time, it is either ignored or blocked out by the body/ mind. The only time you think about it is when the scent is either particularly strong or different (good, bad, or other).

And of course, you can sniff whenever you want to detects scents with lower scent powers.

Yeah, it's a matter of getting one's attention. Imagine yourself walking through a fairly crowded mall. You're obviously going to see all the people around you, but they're not really drawing your attention. But if someone decided to strip naked and start running through the place screaming like a banshee, that's gonna get your attention. It's the same concept with ki, minus the nudity.

Well I remember in the manga, Gohan had trouble sensing Videl's ki among others before she actually fought. The same was with Goku trying to sense Bulma's ki as well (both in the Buu Arc) I guess it basically works like everyone has a unique coding for people to sense, obviously excluding Cell. Which brings me to the question of: What ki is sensed with Super Buu after he absorbs more people? Do people sense Gohan's ki as well? I remember in the Namek Arc, people made comments like "that's definately namekian ki". I guess races have certain ki too. So is it safe to say when Buu absorbed Piccolo, namekian ki could be sensed?

You can call me Rick because I'm not actually Piccolo.

Well I imagine that someone such as Goku to be so alert to ki and the like, that he would be one with everything around him, but as average humans power level is not very high ( wouldn't go beyond 6 on average) it wouldn't harm them.

Mr. Piccolo. If I remember saying correctly, Goku said that he could still feel absorbed's power levels, though faint. I'd imagine that a Buu feel like a Buu feels, like a Buu.

After absorbtion, it jsut feels like Buu plus everyone.
