Well Krillin punched them numerous times and they didn't break, so I doubt that they can.

Apparently the Dragon Balls are another thing Krillin couldn't hit with his Destructo Disk.

Yeah. And if Krillin's punches can't break it, nothing can. tongue

They're not indestructible, I don't think. Yajirobe was able to bore a hole though one and put a string through it. They do regenerate, though.

Of course, in the TFS verse they're much tougher since Krillin couldn't leave a mark on them.tongue

Wait, if they regenerate, and Yajirobe put a string through it, does that mean it regenerated around the string and now there's a piece of string forever trapped inside the Dragon Ball?

[up]I think the string would leave a larger mark than Krillin though.

No, they regenerate when a wish is made or something. I can't remember exactly what it was.

What's the most painful-looking attack in the series?

Ah, yes, that. That's why you don't swallow your bubblegum.

HAIL Frieza still looks brutal, of course. Especially since Frieza gets 1-ups from doing it.

Really Saiga? Are you sure it's not "this? or this? or this?..."

Not sure what you're referencing.

Frieza impaling Krillin. Remember?

Also, while it's from the movies, S. S. Deadly Hammer (The running series of punches that juggles Goku forward through the air without even letting him hit the ground) looks pretty brutal.

No, was referring to Wander.tongue

And you just reminded me that 13 punches Goku in the groin in that movie. Good times.

#2839: Jan 29th 2013 at 6:23:21 PM

No, that's what wander was referencing.

Krillin: "This is the WORST pain!!"

Frieza: "Really? Sure it isn't THIS? Or THIS? Or THIS?"

And yeah, that punch explains why Goten is so stupid. Good times.

Ohh, yeah.

Because being 6 or 7 wouldn't already explain that?tongue Not everyone can be Gohan.

Sure they can! They just need a Moe Howard haircut.

Regarding very painful looking attacks...

I know we're never ever supposed to mention GT, but OUCH.

One of GT's best moments. Such a brutal attack.

I like how they had to draw Vegeta's shoulder bigger to fit the spike in the middle of it.

#2843: Jan 29th 2013 at 6:28:20 PM

I assumed it was Omega's spike stretching his shoulder out. Which makes it even more painful looking, having your already-pierced flesh being forced to stretch.

Though if you want to talk about lazy animations, look at the way Vegeta just sorta ...fades into existence behind Omega, unmoving as a statue, even while saying "YOU'RE MINE!"

Also I love Omega's face while he's electrocuting him. He looks like a kid opening a birthday present.

How often does TFS come out with new episodes? Do they have a set schedule?

There's no set schedule, but it usually works out to once a month.

Depending on length, really. Towards the end of Namek the episodes were getting close to or over half an hour, this one was only about ten minutes.

Man it's fun watching the silly Imma channels on Youtube. ImmaSeru (Cell) and ImmaGero are probably the funniest, though ImmaVegeta is good too.

Only the last episode was half an hour and that's normal for season finales.

btw about Gohan

in the manga he was a lot more useless against Gotenks Buu. Not even landing a hit once.
