Can Dragon Ball Characters Destroy Stars?
Some things:
-The DBO timeline has Goku and Vegeta causing a Supernova (or multiple, depending the translation).
-An anime based guidebook confirmed that Cell can indeed destroy the solar system.
-An anime only flashback had Pure Buu extinguishing a significant portion of a galaxy's luminescence, heavily implying the destruction of stars.
So, with all that taken into account, particularly the DBO line, wouldn't Gohan, Gotenks, Goku, and any form of Buu be star busters?

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Re: Can Dragon Ball Characters Destroy Stars?
Everything says they can, and nothing says they can't. So, it's possible, but only if the character is at least from Super Perfect Cell's lever & up, and can use a powerful technique for that.

Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. 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.

The Chozenshuu confirmes Beers has been destroying stars since that's his job.
Calcs put Kid Buu's Vanishing Ball at star level because of the way it exploded.

In the first Cooler movie, Cooler was thinking about destroying the Sun and letting them freeze to death.

Re: Can Dragon Ball Characters Destroy Stars?
Yes. Cell could certainly destroy the Sun IMO. It would take someone of Super Buu's level to destroy something like VY Canis Majoris though IMO. Here is what I use for my busting calcs:
Earth: 1 x 16,000 = 16,000
Moon: 0.0123 x 16,000 = 196.8
Pluto: 0.0021 x 16,000 = 33.6
Mercury: 0.0553 x 16,000 = 884.8
Mars: 0.107 x 16,000 = 1,712
Venus: 0.815 x 16,000 = 13,040
Namek: 0.92 x 16,000 = 14,720
Planet Vegeta: 10 x 16,000 = 160,000
Uranus: 14.536 x 16,000 = 232,576
Neptune: 17.147 x 16,000 = 274,352
Saturn: 95.159 x 16,000 = 1,522,544
Jupiter: 317.83 x 16,000 = 5,085,280
Sun: 332,946 x 16,000 = 5,327,136,000
VY Canis Majoris: 9,988,380 x 16,000 = 159,814,080,000
Milky Way Galaxy: 416,182,500,000,000,000 x 16,000 = 6,658,920,000,000,000,000,000

Re: Can Dragon Ball Characters Destroy Stars?
Well not ALL stars but certain stars can easily destroy.
Sun - Mass 332,768 - Power - 3,329,000,000 billion
Gliese 581 - Mass 106,644 - power - 1,066,440,000
I'm sure anyone at least in the Android Arc could destroy these stars. So yes in fact they can destroys stars.

Re: Can Dragon Ball Characters Destroy Stars?
Don't you think it'd be more convenient to just use scientific notation? This is, you know, the standard way of writing very big or very small numbers, and is able to avoid the huge mess that frequently arises in these discussions. Also, there's no need to display several significant figures when said numbers are simply very rough estimates by nature.
Anyway, on-topic, I don't see why not. I've certainly always looked at them as such. From the moment Muten Roshi destroyed the Moon in early Dragon Ball, and bearing in mind the non-stop exponential growth in power that the characters display throughtout the series, I wouldn't find it the least bit surprising.

Re: Can Dragon Ball Characters Destroy Stars?
Seeing that BOG is canon to the manga, I think the later characters could. Destroying the sun takes a lot of power and being stronger then Character A does not mean you can do the same 10X over. #18 is much stronger then Freeza, but I doubt she can destroy anything other then Planets.
I remember it was a small black out in the end. Besides I remember Coola saying that he could destroy the Sun was a Funi dub line.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Wait, wasn't the sun destroyed in the end of the movie?

Re: Can Dragon Ball Characters Destroy Stars?
I believe they can. But I don't believe in Galaxy busting. Though Anime Boohan was a universe disrupter who could destroy it all if given enough time.

Personally, I find the term "galaxy buster" to be kinda dumb.

Cell "I will destroy the Solar System!"

Re: Can Dragon Ball Characters Destroy Stars?
Now ask yourself this. Does Akira Toriyama think that? Most likely. But remember the other 1% is hard to destroy. Lastly it's harder to destroy empty space than filled space.dbzfan7 wrote:Exactly why I think it's ridiculousKamiccolo9 wrote:Personally, I find the term "galaxy buster" to be kinda dumb.
