King Piccolo Planet Buster?

[p123]

Chapter: 150, P7.2, P8.2-3
Context: after Piccolo attacks the city
King: “A-ah! The c-city, the city’s…been wiped out..!”
Piccolo: “Do you understand? If I felt like it, it wouldn’t be any trouble for me to destroy the entire world…If you still don’t believe me, I could just turn all the scenery you can see from here into wasteland.”

 

[Tapion]

No.

The context is on him destroying regions one by one.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Country or continent level at best.

 

[p123]

He can destroy more than just one city. He is delaying their deaths to torture them.

Yeah, I think he can do country/continent level as well. That's huge. That puts Roshi's feats as accurate imo.

 

[SSJ2]

I honestly can’t see him being more than county level, let alone country or continent. While he was full power, he blasted Goku and the blast looked similar to an atomic bomb. Sure you can say his goal wasn’t mass destruction there, but I think it’s a fair indication of his power. I think e could take out multiple cities at the same time, aka the size of a county. Although I can’t speak for how large the states in Dragon Ball are.

 

[p123]

Big bang attack destructive power was far less

 

[SSJ2]

True, but that seemed to be a much more controlled/concentrated attack than what Piccolo used against Goku.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

It was obviously either hyperbole or as Tapion said, talking about systematic destruction. Piccolo Daimao had no reason to concentrate or limit the range of the Bakurikimaha to just a city, yet that's the maximum radius we saw of his strongest attack.

Also, his destruction of the small city mentioned in the OP alone took enough effort to tense his hand to the extent of making his veins highly visible. No way is he producing a level of energy at least trillions of times greater than that.

 

[p123]

He can destroy everything within eyesight

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Which is irrelevant when not only does that only encompass the city and nearby mountains if taking the page as a reference of what was within eyesight, but he never states that he was referring to a single blast and likely wasn't when it was obvious his best attack did far less than that.

Even assuming he could do that much if he wished, that would still at best be a Large City/Small Island level feat, so I have no idea what relevancy you're placing on that when discussing if Piccolo Daimao is a Planet Buster.

 

[p123]

His best attack wasn't used to cause all that damage. He can destroy the planet

 

[Captain Cadaver]

His best attack wasn't used to cause all that damage.

He still had no reason to hold back its range or power.

He can destroy the planet

His actual feats and needing effort to destroy a very small city with a Ki blast shows he can't.

 

[p123]

That's like saying Fat Buu's Kamehameha cant blow up the Earth.

Piccolo Jr used effort to blow up the moon when we know much weaker people could have.

 

[Tapion]

Kame-sennin blowing up the moon is an obvious outlier.

 

[p123]

I don't know. I don't really have much issue with it.

Roshi is extremely powerful. People forget that he can kill Ozzaru Goku. Do you really think a 10x power up from that won't get you around King Piccolo level? Who states he can blow up the planet?

Piccolo Daimao said this?

 

[p123]

Check the first post of the thread.

 

[SSJ2]

I kinda like what Viz has. Very similar, but I take it to mean that he can systematically destroy the world if he chooses. No doubt that he can destroy the world, but I can’t see him blowing up the planet given the amount of effort he put into destroying that city.

 

[p123]

Roshi used a shit ton of effort to blow up that mountain. If we left it at that, no way would we think he could blow up the moon. King Piccolo says he can destroy the planet, I see no reason not to believe him.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

That's like saying Fat Buu's Kamehameha cant blow up the Earth.

Fat Boo wasn't trying to blow up the Earth though, whereas Daimao had no reserve on how much of it he destroyed when firing the Bakurikimaha. Completely different situations.

Piccolo Jr used effort to blow up the moon when we know much weaker people could have.

The moon in Z is shown to be far larger than the one in DB and Piccolo's feat doesn't have contrary feats to make it an outlier like Roshi's.

Roshi is extremely powerful. People forget that he can kill Ozzaru Goku.

Oozaru Goku's best feats were Large Building Level.

Do you really think a 10x power up from that won't get you around King Piccolo level? Who states he can blow up the planet?

10x Small Building level (which 21st TB Goku is at) wouldn't even make someone a Large Building buster, nevermind City Buster. Battle Power logic and multipliers are also irrelevant when talking about a system based on scouter numbers that obviously can't work at this point in the story.

Roshi used a shit ton of effort to blow up that mountain. If we left it at that, no way would we think he could blow up the moon.

That alone shows that Roshi's moon feat was an outlier, as do speed feats from Ki blasts never reaching the same level of speed until the Saiyan Arc.

King Piccolo says he can destroy the planet, I see no reason not to believe him.

He needed effort to destroy a small city. No reason to believe him.
