Gotenks Speed?

Sypheran · Post by **Sypheran** » Sun May 21, 2006 10:44 pm

Okay, I'm wondering, how fast is Gotenks suppose to be? According to wikipedia he went around the Earth at least 36 times in less then a second... Does this ever happen or has it ever been stated (like in the Daizenshuus) that Gotenks is this fast? Using the evidence from the manga, anime, or official sources, how fast is Gotenks?

Uh, if you're asking as in m.p.h. or this-many x the speed of light... I don't know. But I can confirm that they do show Gotenks fly around the world several times... but it wasn't in a second, it burned up the majority of his fusion time so that when he eventually approached Majin Buu... he was out of time.

Actually, wasn't it explained that most of his fusion time was almost up was because he took a nap while Piccolo looked for him?

And If he went 36 times around the Earth in a second, that means that he was going 4.25 times the speed of light...

Where did it say on Wikipedia that Gotenks flew around the Earth 36 times in 1 second? I just looked all over that page and it made no mention of it.

It's under Goku, in the Super Speed section...

36 times in one second!? I don't believe that one bit.

That's what it says, I wanna know if there's any proff to this... Like, does it actually show him fly around the earth at least 36 times in that scene? And how long is the scene? Can someone post up a link to a vid of the scene?

Okay, I just checked. When Gotenks first turns SSJ, and the get to the part where he goes around the world, I only counted him circling it 9 times (and it took several seconds) at which point he crashes back to the Earth and sits down on a rock to wait for Piccolo.

EDIT: In the interest of preventing further confusion... I removed that sentence from the page... Unless there is some other point at which Gotenks circles the Earth several times, it was just plain not true. Can't always trust wikipedia...

Well... You might want to watch out... If the admin has proff or evidence to show that Gotenks did move that fast, your edit will be deleted and your IP will be either warned or banned from the site...

Jeez, relax... it's just wikipedia... It's not like I put in any additional information, and if there is proof... then one only needs to write in the tiny sentence one more time.

Oh please, VegettoEX changes and edits entries about DB all the time, as well as a few others here.

From the manga, volume 40, page 139: " I circled the globe a few dozen times... and even took a nap." I presume this is where the 36 figure comes from, though based on this, there's no reason to assume an exact count(and Gotenks could be counting 4 or 5 as "a few"), and no mention is given as to how long it took to circle Earth.

Nor is there any indication of how long it took.

Well in the manga there was one panel of the scenary before Piccolo landed but the exact time is anyones guess.

It took almost 30 minutes, since the Fusion breaks up shortly afterwards.

So maybe 36 times in 30 minutes?

Well, 36 times in under thirty minutes is a given.

But he waited for Piccolo to find him, too.

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Mon May 22, 2006 4:37 pm

Yes, there's however long it took Piccolo to find him, but don't forget to include however long it took him to fly to Buu's place, too. He didn't actually defuse until he got there. But if they happened to be (really) close, then that wouldn't be much. Maybe only a minute or two.

But he does say that he even took a nap... According to my encyclopedia a nap is anywhere from a short 20 minute sleep to a full 2 hour sleep (depending if it's a power nap = 20 - 30 minutes, or a childs nap = 1 - 2 hours)...

And in the anime it shows him go around the world 9 times in a second or whatever...

Then there's how long his conversation with Piccolo was and how long it took him to get to Buu's...

And Light can only go around the earth 8 times in a second... So, I think it's safe to say that Gotenks was faster then the speed of light...

Um, that's not how Wikipedia works - almost all the posts are made by anonymous IPs.
And if the one who put "36 times in one minute" had any proof, he should actually use it.

I'm sure the 8 year old consulted the dictionary before bragging about being super-fast

Sypheran wrote:And in the anime it shows him go around the world 9 times in a second or whatever...

Several seconds. Even if it was just 2 seconds instead of one, that would half the speed. If they're going to give any specific time, they better make sure it's accurate.

Sypheran wrote:Then there's how long his conversation with Piccolo was and how long it took him to get to Buu's...

If it took "one second" to traverse the equator "thirty six times" I doubt the distance between there and Kami's palace is even worth mentioning.

Sypheran wrote:And Light can only go around the earth 8 times in a second... So, I think it's safe to say that Gotenks was faster then the speed of light...

If light takes one second to go around the earth eight times, and it takes Gotenks "several seconds" to do the same thing, then Gotenks is SLOWER.

And for God's sake, use a period.
