Random civilians would run into the breaking like tissue paper problem.

If you can somehow get, say, Whis to consent to being swung around by his ankles, he'd make a great blunt instrument though.

See, now I'm just picturing Nappa trying to bludgeon Goku with a random passerby, watching the person explode into a blood fountain on impact, and bitching about how these stupid fragile humans aren't even suited to being clubs.

I'm really feeling the need for new techniques. Watching Dragon Ball Super I very quickly got tired of Goku using the Kamehameha for the 17th time.

To be fair, it was like that in Z, too.

The main character typically only having one attack move and a bunch of support moves is an annoying problem that tends to come up fairly often in shonen. Yusuke generally only used Spirit Gun, Naruto generally only used Rasengan, Goku generally only uses Kamehameha, etc.

@Tobias and then realizing all that did was make Goku angrier, so literally all Nappa has done is make his own situation worse. It would have been more effective to do literally nothing.

Instead of Vegeta blowing up Nappa after Goku cripples him, Goku uses him as a club against Vegeta.

Well, I'm sold. New canon.

Yusuke generally only used Spirit Gun

Yusuke also used the Shotgun quite often as well.

[up][up]True, but that's basically like how Naruto has the multiple Shadow Clones using Rasengan thing or Goku's Continuous Kamehameha.

They also use that in Heartcatch several times including using them for bowling, but they are not real people so it is ok.

Well, When All You Have Is a Hammer…. If you have one great attack, there's no reason to learn anything else.

Like equipping Tien's Z-Soul.

I miss the episode breakdowns.

Also, be on the lookout for We Are Number One. There are two pieces of audio in the timeline titled WANO.

That explains why Kaiser was free for the entire Dark Souls 3 stream last night.
