Only Vegetto can kill gag characters. But Arale would probably get bored or distracted before she worked her way up to him.

Why can Vegetto kill gag characters? Is there proof?

It only looked like so because General Blue is weak, and Gag characters are always 10% stronger than their opponents.

In Vegetto's case, is there a difference beetween infinite and 10% more to it...?

Yea dude, Vegetto is Arale's father. So you know she can't mess with him. Need more evidence? He's Vegetto! Alright, now that that's settled.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Ok people are giving Vegetto the Chuck Norris treatment. "How can he kill gag characters." Please, I don't want the he's Vegetto, The Goddamn Vegetto, or other excuse like that. What actually allows him to kill gag characters.

When was that. In the anime, Boohan was destroying the dimensional wall, which would have lead to the universes destruction. But, Vegetto didn't fix the universe with a punch. He just punched Boohan and stopped him before the dimensional damage became to much and caused a collapse. He didn't just punch the air and *poof* the universe was fixed. Though I haven't seen dbz filler in a while.

Vegetto once took a poop, it turned SSJ3 and slapped Ultimate Gohan into submission.

Seriously now, that would be possible if Vegetto had taken a poop in Penguin Village. :lol:

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.

Vegetto can kill gag character because he IS a "gag character." Only a type of power outside that of the DB Universe's normal laws of nature would allow him to survive, talk, and fight as a piece of candy, and that type of power is what we call "toonforce."

I'd say that since Gotenks pretty much was a gag character and could be defeated by Gohan Buu, and Vegetto could defeat them both, then Vegetto can destroy gag characters. So Arale is screwed.

I guess. Was it stated anywhere he was a gag character. Are we supposed to speculate on this as well.

Good piece of sound logic and reason Kaboom. Vegetto fighting as candy was freaking amazing.

Okay...

21st TB Oozaru Gokuu vs. Giant Piccolo (Vs. Radditz era)

For the sake of the debate, they are both roughly the same size.

Piccolo can't fly nor use any Ki based attacks other than his charged Makankosappo.
