Exactly, unlike Hercule, Goku didn't need the assistance of magic to survive a bullet wound.RedRibbonSoldier#42 wrote:Goku didn't need magic. His durability is higher than Mr. Satan's. But since the bullets still did damage, it means that (beginning of series) Goku is not indestructible by normal human means. And ki blast power and martial arts power are two separate things. Roshi could kamehameha the moon to pieces, but he could not destroy the moon with a physical strike. Likewise, even if Mr. Satan can't destroy the moon, his martial art strength could be as great as Roshi'ssupercat wrote:
Do you honestly believe that (the H-word) could destroy the moon, or generate an attack even remotely close to the level of power behind Roshi's Kamehameha? Also, had it not been for Buu, the champ would have eventually succumbed to his bullet wound. I don't recall some magical being having to heal Goku after he got shot.
I hate to bring this topic up again, but the fact that Sorbet's laser was able to pierce through SSGSS Goku shows that the Saiyan does need to leverage ki to enhance his durability.
Last I recall, unless you're a brawny beast like Yajirobe, (which Hercule is clearly not), ki power and strength are basically synonymous in the world of Dragon Ball. The only other beings who probably possess durability uninfluenced by ki are Frieza and the androids.
Other than shattering a few tiles, what striking power has Hercule ever displayed? How exactly would such a feat even be comparable to dishing out considerable damage to beings with super human abilities?
-Jaco one-shots. He was casually able to take on fighters who presumably possess power levels ranging from 500 - 3,000 (or even higher).In Brightest Day wrote:A few fights :
- Chaozu (Saiyan arc) vs. Jaco (DB Minus).
- Bardocks crew (Toma, Seripa, Pambukin, Totepo) vs. Piccolo and 3 Namekian warriors.
- Freeza's henchmen from the beginning of Namek (Raspberry, Appule, etc.) vs. Piccolo, Tenshinhan, Krillin, Yamcha and Son Gohan (Saiyan arc).
- SSJ Vegeta vs. SSJ Future Trunks and Piccolo (Android arc).
-I'm assuming that you're referring to Piccolo from the Saiyan arc, and that Bardock is excluded from this battle. The Namekians would likely take this as they probably have a marginal advantage in strength. Bardock's buddies are probably somewhere around 1,000 on the low end, and 2,500 on the high end of that spectrum. There's really no reason they should be substantially ahead of Raditz.
-The Z-Fighters take this with an exceptional amount of difficulty. However, the proper usage of Shin Kikoho and Makankosappo are probably necessitated.
-If Vegeta goes all out right from the get-go, he may be able to claim victory. With that said, considering how his son was not that far below him, and the Namekian was probably somewhere in the same realm of power as SSJ Trunks (against Frieza), even the slightest bit of playing around would likely get the proud prince killed.
