I admit. I lol'd.

The thing with someone strong using a sword is they have to be careful not to slam it against something like the ground. They could break the sword instead of the ground.

Which begs the question, wouldn't some of the site's better armor, or stronger characters, be stronger than the ground? Heck, Trunks's sword broke when he tried to cut #17 with it.

Depends on the sword. And the character. for instance, both Pan and Darion, both characters in the 100K range were slashed and bleeding by sword attacks in my personal saga.

Pan has a point. 17 was a cyborg with lord knows what enhancements, I'd think the first thin Gero would have done is modify the skin of 17 and 18 in order to diffuse the attack power of their opponents.

On the other hand, Pan and Darion in her storyline were, so far as I recall, both totally organic, and so their skin was still vulnerable to lacerations and whatnot.

I still don't know where any level 2 spears are. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Level 2 Spear

Scroll down to the bottom of the list.

You're forgetting one thing, Bebi.

Vegeta had a Power Level of... well, let's just low ball it and say 40,000,000 in the Buu Saga.

That would be 5,000,000 per stat. By your theory he could've lifted, what, 500,000,000 pounds?

Vegeta weighs maybe 250 lbs, at most, of solid muscle. He could only do about 300x Gravity, and that was the most we ever saw in the show. (I apologize if my numbers are off, but I'm pretty sure they arent).

That's only 75,000 pounds. Leaves plenty of wiggle room for more gravity.



But aside from that point, staffs and weapons in the DBZ-verse are also likely made out of metals we can't even imagine, or just the force (even of a successful blow) would likely shatter any swords used.

Let's not forget the friction would melt virtually any metallic weapon when you're slashing and moving at the speeds some of the characters eventually get to. Or at the very least make them much too hot to comfortably hold.

Remember, by the time Krillin and Goku went to their first tournament they were able to have what should have been lengthy exchanges in combat too quickly for the audience to actually see what they did.

Actually, Vegeta weight 56 kilograms, right around 123 pounds, acccording the the Super Exciting Guide: Character Volume. He's a short li'l dude. ;)

Just throwing this out there, but Goku had quite a bit of trouble lifting 10 tons to each limb without going Super Saiyan. It seems ki is more of the deciding factor than physical strength.

One could argue they use their ki to augment there physical strength. Which was essentially the whole point of Roshi's training. "Your muscles have built in limitations, the goal of this training is to teach you to go past those."

Ki is related to physical strength, though. Much like it (should) be related to speed.

And I have never read one of those handbooks, so thanks for the statistic. I was giving a high-end estimate because I feel like Saiyan muscles are so dense and compact that they probably weigh twice what a human's of the same size would.

Also, I think the aura of the person wielding the sword would probably protect it from a lot of the airborne friction; I think that's why people like Gohan and Goku were able to fly so fast without squinting while Videl had a hard time. Aside from just getting used to it.

Well, that would explain how Goku could do the things he did at his size in Dargonball.

Also... the aura thing... I think that's the explanation they used for why Superman's costume stays together while his cape constantly gets ripped apart. He has a protective aura' extending a few millimeters from his body.
