Akkuman

Post by Snail » Sat Feb 10, 2007 4:04 am

So, we all know who Akkuman is correct? He is the former 'strongest' of the line of fighters Uranai Baba posesses. Akkuman has the ability to take the evil in one's heart and expand it until that being explodes.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that mean Akkuman could've practically been able to destroy every villain known in the history of the entire Dragonball series? Spanning from Dragonball, all the way to GT.

Thoughts?

True, although in the time it takes to generate the attack, any of the DBZ or even late DB villains could kill him.

To keep him from overpowering, I guess he wouldn't be able to use it against really strong guys. Anyway the attack would take too long and people would kill him by the time he finishes materailizing the attack.

You're right, Snail. In the end, he should be the greatest villian (didn't he win tournaments too or was that someone else?). But! I'm pretty sure he was made as a joke and also to show that Goku had a pure heart. I mean look at his clothes..:P

I think they said he won the Tenkaichi Budokai twice.

I believe the point's already been made, but... yeah, most of the later villains after Piccolo could easily just kill him with the flick of a finger before he was .01% into preparing the attack.

If Toriyama can't even remember lunch, how do you expect him to remember a one shot character like that?

His name is a combination of "akuma" and "man" (so basically, devil-man), but I think that was probably a nickname he used or something. I doubt he was really Satan.

This could also be in the same vain as Mr.Satan wasn't truly Satan either.
(He make a pretty bad Satan if you ask me)

I don't think so, because it's a kind of "psychic" attack, and the DBZ characters become strong enough to resist it later, as Chaozu's inability to paralyze the hearts of others later shows. Otherwise Chaozu would be the strongest character in the series. Like Legato from Trigun, except white and short.

Well, did Chaozu try to use his powers on anyone past Goku?
If Akkuman was like, on the team, they could have someone distract the villain while Akkuman did his attack?

I think the last time Chaozu uses his powers in the manga is against Nappa, obviously to no avail.

Actually, in the chapter heading showing everyone training for three years for the cyborgs, it shows Chaozu holding out both hands as if using his psychic powers.

He's obviously holding his hands toward a fire to keep warm. Look at how he's dressed :lol: .
