Was Goku knocking Jeice and Burter away with a kiai comparable to wind chop feats?

Kiais are super powerful and have this specific kickback effect whereas actually chopping the air yourself seems to be a far greater feat.

70% Freeza sends SSJ Goku flying with a kiai whereas with a physical wind chip, we have no evidence anyone can pull this off without being multi folds the opponent.

This is great you are asking this question it shows you are walking down the logical path further than anyone else.

A kiai is a far more effective technique as P pointed out.

A wind chop is a mere wave of the hand, whereas a kiai clearly has a higher level of force/energy put into it.

@SSJ2

How should we handle the wind chop versus Chichi? Piccolo says it’s a technique. What are you thinking? 2-2.5x gap?

I think it's more accurate to call that a wind punch. Even though Goku held back there was still a lot of force put into it. You can compare how Chi Chi handled it to how Yamcha handled the wind chop to narrow it down:

Chi Chi looks to be sent away with far higher speed and gets sent much further than Yamcha was. Wind punch should be > wind chop.

Yeah, but what about Piccolo saying it’s a demon clansman attack? It’s more than just a punch, no?

It's a wind related technique. Piccolo Daimao used one against Goku as well. This is just an advanced version of it imo.

Because it's more than just wind. It's a shockwave which is why the onlookers couldn't see it (Roshi himself even trouble comprehending it).

It's actually closer to Kiai since it's a shockwave created by striking the air with great force, while Jackie Chun and Daimao merely just waved their hands and caused a gust of wind.

Hmm, yeah I think this is a debatable one.

It’s gotta be a little different than just a regular wind chop.

Also I think Chi-Chi is implied to be far more relevant to Goku than Yamcha was to Jackie. Can we agree on that or no?

So, if a kiai can knock away someone 1.5x stronger than you (70% Freeza vs Goku) and a wind chop can almost knock away someone who's your equal (FP Young Piccolo vs Goku), why do you need a manyfold gap to knock someone away with a wind chop?

The "wind chop" and Kiai are the same thing.

Hard to say who is more relevant since Chi-Chi doesn't scale to Goku at all. Goku could have ended the fight in an instant but didn't because he was confused about who she was.

Goku wasn’t his equal at the time he was greatly inferior

Did Saiyan Saga Vegeta destroy the Saibaman with Kiai or just physical force from his fingers?

Not for the wind chop. He doesn’t declare he even has more power until afterwards
But before that, he provoked Piccolo to go full power, which he wouldn't do if didn't have more power himself. I think the reader at this point is supposed to know Goku has more power too.

We know he hasn’t accessed it though. He’s literally trembling.

Almost koing someone with wind is not something that happens in equal fights,that much is obvious. Daimao was >>>> Goku at that point, this is a pretty cut and dry argument.

Yes brother. He's just probing though, this new law of logic is breaking a lot of people's lists, they are just coming around to the idea.
