Goku or Gohan: Who is the TRUE gut shot master?

Post by FrogTrigger » Fri May 02, 2014 8:37 pm

So throughout Dragon Ball, there have been a lot of powerful blows thrown around. Rib shaking kicks, bone breaking punches and senses shattering head-butts. One move comes to mind as something special though: the gut shot. Goku versus Recoome, Gohan when he made Cell's eyes bug out, and a few more examples from these two like Napa and Super Buu. Now, as fellow fans, I'd like to hear your thoughts on who had the best gut shots out of these two and why. If you have a different name to throw up though, then by all means throw it up!

For now I think Gohan giving Cell battle bulimia is my favorite, to read or watch.

Don't think anything beats Cell getting punched so hard that he started spitting out women.

Omg how could I forget Trunks getting his Fatality on, he straight jammed his whole arm up to the elbow in dude. It's every bit the essence of the raw power approach someone who's Vegeta's kid would use

Great pick Kental!

Goku ramming his entire body through Piccolo Daimao was technically a Kamehameha propelled gut punch that he just totally followed through with.

Vegeta. He punched Zarbon so hard he jammed his fist in Zarbon's stomach, then fired a ki blast with his hand still in there.

Just between these two: Goku, definitely Goku. Using himself as a bullet and ramming through Daimao's chest was technically a gut shot, and one of the coolest deaths in the history of fiction.

Counting movies, we also have Goku making Broly and Hildegarn explode with gut punches, kneeing Cooler in the gut (though that was laughed off), Gohan impaling Bojack on his arm, and Gohan punching Freeza hard enough to both impale him AND make him explode.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
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.

I always loved this one

And the way he made Cell vomit out one of the reasons for his existence was always cool. The sound effect is just powerful.

Personally I actually like in the Manga how Gohan causes Cell to spit out 18... he just bashes his skull in... Brain damage I guess?

hey guys! all good picks but man this one gets me

That second where it's gohans fist basically reshaping Frieza's insides before asploding him is the best! It's a mixture of the piercing and the controlled hard hook to the gut

Yes but their blows werent turning points in their fight.

Goku's blow on Freeza made Freeza fall to his knees.

Gohan's caused Cell to vomit 18 and revert to his second form.

Trunks's killed Gokua

Gohan's essentially killed Bojack

Kid Goku's killed Piccolo Daimao


None of the blows during Piccolo's and 17's exchange turned the battle in either of their favor. Dont get me wrong its one of the best fights in the franchise but it didnt turn the fight around or end it.

you have nothing to be sorry for

Gohan gut checked Cell so hard he had a blue screen moment

punched him so hard he had to reboot his life

in that instant Cell's life came apart at the seams

Hmm... maybe, if it wasn't such a poorly drawn episode.

In their first fight #17 defeats Piccolo with such a punch, so that could be a good example.
