No. We're shown directly with Krillin vs Vegeta that it doesn't work that way. The Freeza and Cell fights as a whole don't work if it works that way. Spirit Bomb is explained by it not being strong enough.

No

I miss that dude

Non sequitur. Durability scales with your current power (directly shown when Krillin maims Vegeta), and if you're strong enough then you won't take damage. That's all that proves. This is Piccolo taking no damage from an attack, proving nothing except that the attack (possibly after being...

Nappa and Vegeta powering up is like flexing a muscle. Krillin and Gohan etc suppressing their ki is like magically reducing their actual muscle mass.

I used to headcanon a small amp but it looks like the more popular route now is no amp. But I think a small amp makes sense. There must be some advantage to using KHH over, I dunno, an unnamed blast. Daizenshuu 7 probably undersold 50% Freeza because it assumed no amp too. Goku already...

Yes, it is. It doesn't need to be tremendous, it needs to be enough to barely block KHH at the last second. Freeza is not so good at ki control that he can freely use e.g. his full power in bursts like Piccolo can later on (70% might be the most he can manage.) Goku's statement functionally...

Goku commented on how Freeza wasn't bluffing about using 50% after all, there's no good explanation for that if all Freeza did was block at his current level. He had to have powered up there, but he wouldn't necessarily need to stay at that level after because Goku was dead meat. After the...

Nah.

Sure.

Logically he must have because it actually threatened to kill him. No one says anything about it but we can cut them some slack, they weren’t really paying attention.

Yes, it would've been a quick burst like Goku vs the Ginyus.

Goku's still hoping against hope that Freeza's bluffing about holding back, all the way up until he charges up Kaioken x20. If Freeza powers up a little bit to block the KHH, then that confirms he's holding back, and it's most likely by 50% since there's not much reason for Freeza to be honest...

Freeza blocking it somehow confirms that he really was only using half his power.

Haibane Renmei kinda goes hard

People getting shocked at these blasts getting tanked is largely a psychological thing. It's shown many times that it's difficult to comprehend how powerful someone is when they're just leagues ahead of you. Piccolo and co. spectating Goku vs Freeza is a good example of this that comes with a...

right

I started reading it a while back but then stopped. It's pretty cool.

I guess so but it’s sort of arbitrary.

Cell’s KHH improving is such bs btw but I guess Toriyama had a story to progress. It would’ve been cool if Cell could suck extra DNA out of people with his tail and learned how to power his moves up that way.
