People with the Self-Destruct Ability.

What exactly triggers that? With the exception of Android 17 and Android 18 who had bombs inside their bodies and could explode via remote control (then again, I think I remember Android 18 threatening to explode herself without that control (?)), how exactly does that technique work for everyone else (like the Saiyans, Namekuseijins, etc)?

The only reasonable explanation I can think of is a sudden "charge overload", if that makes any sense to you. The user charges so fast and so furiously their Ki that causes it to explode.

Do you have your own explanation? I'd like to know your opinion on this.
We help! ... Hmm. Always get Autobots out of messes they get into.

I think it's an universal ability based on expanding all your Ki outwards at the same time.

Anyone can do it. It's basically using all of your ki to make your body into a bomb.

What's more confusing is how Vegeta and 17 were both able to do it and not die.

I assume it's energy replacing matter similar to why the kaioken is risky.
