You know, I just thought of something; are Goku and Vegeta actually capable of surviving planet-level attacks now, or can they still be killed by them? I mean, Frieza destroys the core of Namek, and even though he's been cut in half, blasted in the face, and thrown at close to point zero of a planetary detonation, he still manages to survive; come several years later, and when Frieza does the same thing to Earth via Rage Quit, Vegeta, as a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, gets destroyed by the planet detonating in his face, the same exact thing Frieza survived when he was like a million times weaker than him.

I'm pretty sure they can tank a planet blowing up. The thing is, they can't really tank the vacuum of space.

I don't know...Vegeta kind of just disappeared after the explosion; you'd think they'd see his body or something floating around them if it stayed intact.

Obviously the explosion blasted him away at high speed. Or he's so tiny compared to the Earth that you can't see him among the debris. Or he decided life just isn't worth living anymore and flew into the sun, only to find out it's not hot enough to hurt him.

Toriyama wrote the script for Resurrection F though...so he's the one who had Vegeta get killed by planetary detonation.

I was looking a the Tekka/Goku/Goten/Trunks/Pan fusion again, I happened to notice that there seems to be blond hair poking out from inside the vest's shoulder.

Does this new 5-way fusion also have a new SSJ form to go along with it?

After Freeza blows up the Earth, Whis very specifically mentions that Vegeta is dead from the vacuum of space, and that Freeza isn't because he doesn't need to breathe.

Or a planet exploding is disorienting and launches things everywhere and, by the time it was over, Vegeta was miles away from everyone else.

Remember that Frieza's race seems to have the capability to survive what would normally be fatal injuries. Frieza was wished back to life as a mass of chopped up flesh and was still alive.

Yeah, Whis does specifically mention ability to survive in space. That doesn't mean Vegeta didn't go pop, because that's one of the reasons space is so deadly, there's a lot more pressure on you here than you may realize. No more air and...

That doesn't explain why Goku and Beerus fought in space but Dragon Ball is pretty good about that inconsistency isn't it? At this point it was either still the upper atmosphere or all of the surrounding area up to the surface of moon has life friendly properties in Dragon Ball.

When Goku and Beerus fought in space, it's very likely that Goku just held his breath.

What doesn't make sense is that given the speeds the characters should be moving at circa Resurrection, Vegeta should be more than fast enough to find a planet he can breathe on.

He might not have tried to, though, since he'd probably be busy screaming in incoherent rage over Freeza's ragequit. In which case he should have killed Freeza anyway.

Saiyans need to breathe, but they can hold their breath for very long periods of time and they should be tough enough to survive the vacuum of space. The real threat should be asphyxiation.

Dragon Ball's Earth does have breathable atmosphere up to and including the moon. Goku put Boss Rabbit and his minions on the moon with little atmospheric difficulty.

What doesn't make sense is that given the speeds the characters should be moving at circa Resurrection, Vegeta should be more than fast enough to find a planet he can breathe on.

Space is really big and finding planets with breathable atmosphere is like finding a needle in the near-infinite vastness of space.

Still no Super Satan Pan.

Sataiyan? Saiyatan?

Anyway.

So a Saiyan's hair doesn't change from the day they're born, but they still shave their faces, right? And once or twice people have cut Goku and Vegeta's hair slightly during fights. So their hair can still be cut. So I guess if you shaved off all of a Saiyans hair it would, eventually, grow back to the same shape? And their hair has a fixed length after which it stops growing.

You can't really style a Saiyan's hair without cutting it. If you tried to brush it or comb it the hair would probably snap back.

But. There are some hair styles that rely more on cutting than anything. So, like, could a Saiyan get an undercut?

I think their hair grows back almost immediately, It did in a couple frames in the Janemba movie, though that's probably not the best source.

All the times their hair got cut was animation filler.
