People in Dragon Ball can blow up planets.

A sword < a gun < a tank <<<<<< a missile <<<<<<< Atomic Bomb <<<<<<<< Tsar Bombs <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< a casual ki blast from anyone who matters

This is why weapons don't matter.

But a sword being wielded by anyone with enough Ki to matter = that person.

Eh, not really.

The sword Gohan was supposed to use, for instance.

Swords are not exactly designed to cut rocks, especially magic rocks made of the hardest substance in the universe or whatever.

Gohan is, though.

Well, not cut, but you know what I mean.

We haven't seen anyone break that metal yet either.So points to it.

I mean, if we knew that Gohan could break the Katchin without the sword, you'd have a point.

I thought it was densest.

And besides, Gohan can destroy solar systems with ease, so I'm not sure it would be too difficult for him.

[up] I honestly felt that was rather Dubious, to be honest.

While it was probably simply destroying the sun to cause the solar system to die, the whole solar system going out at once isn't probably till the Buu saga, where casual energy blasts blow holes large enough through the earth that would have taken fully charged attacks from previous arcs to have done.

Katchin was from the Buu saga, too.

Hey, axes and swords worked well enough in Dragon Ball Online for everyone who wasn't a Fat Majin buffing the stats of and or healing random passerby players to use them. The Namek healer class was also pretty popular.

The point I'm refuting is that if you make a Dragon Ball online multiplayer game everyone isn't going to be a hulking super saiyan brawler like Broly because when it actually happened most of the "super saiyans" ended up looking more like Trunks when he fought Freeza and namek was the most popular race overall among people actually invested in the game.(and it's not to hard to understand why. The human/saiyan race was the most familiar but maybe a little two familiar. Kamehameha was used for two of it's classes. Two different versions of it to be fair but Nameks and Majins had all sorts of interesting and or unique abilities for their classes)

Didn't Super Perfect Cell say he could wipe out the solar system? I'm pretty sure he said that.

Yes, he did say that. A lot of people dismiss it it as typical villainous taunting or boasting.

I don't mind believing him, but it's a YMMV thing.

Cell said a lot of things, you can't believe every single one.

It's too buying into his claims.

[up][up] Why? I thought that line was supposed to be taken completely seriously. That's what it sounds like. You know, exposition to remind the audience that the power scale IS higher, despite their explosions being roughly the same size.

I agree with you, as I said. But I've dealt with people downplaying DBZ's power for years and years now. There are some who simply won't accept it.

I wonder if the solar system busting is confirmed in anything official. I wouldn't be surprised.

There are guidebooks that repeat his claim.

Of course it's confirmed in something official. It's confirmed when Cell says he can do it. It's not him bluffing or going "I totally can you guys! I swear!".

Here's the thing: In this instance, we don't really need a shot of him doing it, because he's demonstrably immensely more powerful than the first Planet Buster in the series was when he made the claim of turning Earth into space dust.
