How Many Episodes? (Namek Explosion)

Gabool The Wild · Post by **Gabool The Wild** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 2:55 am

I was wondering... can anyone could answer how many episodes it took for Namek to blow up from when Freeza first stated that it would only take "five minutes" for it to blow?

Thanks.

I think the '5 minutes' line itself is in episode 98, but it may have been 97 (which is when the attack itself was thrown). The planet explodes in episode 106. That's about 8 or 9 episodes.

Ah, thank you very much.

5 minutes turned into 3 hours; which is about 9 episodes.

You know, I'm getting tired of people's insensitivity to Freeza's inability to tell time properly.

You don't see people attacking Chaozu for his lack of math skills!

In-story answer #1: Namek's core is firery lightning, ie, energy. Goku tapped into said energy when he made the genkidama. Freeza, not knowing this, made the estimation on all the energy being there.

In-story answer #2: The amount of actions Goku and Freeza went through in 5 minutes, if played at speeds we normal humans can follow, is equal to 3 hours.

In-story answer #3: The 5 minute warning was a bluff to get Goku to abandon the fight so Freeza could live to fight another day. Said bluff failed.

In-story answer #4: Freeza has a concussion, so he can no longer measure time or energy quantities properly. That's why he thought the planet would have blown up immediately.

In-story answer #5: Freeza, being an alien, uses a different measurement of time than we do. His version of a minute consists of 2160 seconds, not just 60 like ours.

In-story answer #6: There's no night, so Freeza never went to sleep. For over a month. No wonder he's evil; he's just cranky from sleep deprivation!

In-story answer #7: Goku in SSJ is so powerful that the shockwaves of smacking Freeza warped time itself.

In-story answer #8: Goku is stupid, Goku in SSJ is easily distractable. Freeza figured he'd stop mid-fight when five minutes went by to try and figure out how much time was left.

In-story answer #9: Freeza doesn't lie because he's evil, he lies because it's a compulsive disorder.

In-story answer #10: Freeza was using Bibilical numbering, so 5 was a metaphor.

Alternate theory: The scenes of Gohan and everyone one else is happening WHIEL we see the actual fight, the two different events are happening at the same time and they are just showing them seperately to further the show.
