So I had a thought:
You know how attacks could have more power than the person using them through the method of raising and lowering your ki?
This pretty much applied only to direct Ki attacks, but how come we never saw melee attacks that used this method either.
So that when throw a physical attack, and the other dude thinks ha! that won't work! and then ends up talking to the blazing energy fist or something like that.
I don't know. I'm probably not thinking it through far enough really. It's mostly just an idea.
One Strip! One Strip!It happens in The Return of Cooler's Revengeance: The Reckoning, I do believe. It's also Vegeta's second unique ki attack in Legacy of Goku II.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Really? When? That's kinda my signature DBZ movie (I've mentioned before that it was the first one I saw) and I don't recall anything like that.
One Strip! One Strip!Pretty sure it's the "punch harder" thing.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Oh yeah.
Well, it needed more glowing fist power.
Let mah boi Yusuke show you what I mean:
Hell, what happened to shit like this in Dragonball:
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Combine it with the stuff they learned later, and we'd have powerful melee attacks wouldn't we?
One Strip! One Strip!Probably because punches are already using ki. It's all using ki.
Just because Yu Yu Hakusho has a technique for putting even more ki into a punch, doesn't mean that such a thing exists in DB. Goku's attack against Daimao was just a last ditch effort punch.
If Frieza defects to another universe, that would actually be a smart move for him. He can't return to Universe 7's Hell if Universe 7 is destroyed, so he'll continue to exist in a state of undeath, immortal unless something "kills" him which would instead erase him so he doesn't have to endure Hell again. He should know Goku has no intention of honoring his request, so it's not like he really had a chance to be revived by staying on their team
The existence of the Ki Sword technique, which everyone used last arc and was an extension of Zamasu's Ki Chop, solidly establishes that physical attacks that are enhanced with Ki are a thing. Not to mention Hit's Ki blasting pressure point strikes.

As an alternative to this idea I had for Launch earlier
, how about her blonde self still exists, but she's also a martial artist herself (and maybe gets some training from Roshi).
It would have both, retained her joke, and given her something resembling an arch (learning to deal with that other part of herself so she could fight in either form or something like that).
One Strip! One Strip!@Handsome:How about I plug the fanfic Break Through the Limit, where Launch's personalities merge into one being who has blue hair with blonde streaks (but to be honest, it's mostly Blonde Launch's personality on display). Then she learns the Kamehameha and Kaioken and briefly becomes the world's strongest human, even if she quickly loses that title to Tien.
@Supersonic Warriors 18: I could not beat her story mode no matter how hard I tried. Since she couldn't charge her ki, she had to build it by using melee attacks. Against Goku, that would lead to a quick death every. Single. Time. No other character had that problem.

Well, yeah.
I'm saying maybe she could have had a bit more character if he'd considered at least something of an arc for her. As it is, it seems like she's literally the only character in the series who was brought in entirely for a joke, as opposed to a joke being one part of their character.
I can't deny that Toriyama dropped the ball so hard with her, it cracked the floor. The only characters who was less important in his introduction was Chiaotzu, who Toriyama has never seemed to have a clue what to do with.
He should have either thought of something for her, or not waited so long to get rid of her.

"I can't deny that Toriyama dropped the ball so hard with her, it cracked the floor."
I can. She wasn't meant to be an important character. Complain about Uranai Baba's ghost attendants not learning Kaio-ken if you're going to go that way.
I like that Toriyama didn't repeat the same joke with her every time, had the blonde Lunch get along with the others further into the series, and wrote her out when he was done with her.
Tertiary characters exist for a reason.
We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.
She never really should have been around as long as she was anyway. Getting rid of her when he was done is all well and good, but since she had zero relevance from the get go, he likely should have been done with her...after her first appearance.
But again, we're likely gonna disagree on this anyway, so there's not much point to going on with this.
...Naturally, I win the argument.
One Strip! One Strip!

More like Butoden... 7 or 8, I can't remember.
