Maybe, but I doubt it would seriously injure Nappa. Even if it wasn't at full power because of Tenshinhan's injuries, it still did literally no damage. At worst I'd say it was at half power, using Gohan's one-handed Kamehameha as an example (and even then, Goku said that the reduced power was because of his mental state).

I probably just means that Tien missed his vital organs.

I have a message from another time...

Are Dead Zone Abridged and World's Strongest Abridged any good? I've heard they're not as good as TFS's work.

debating how strong Super Perfect Cell is, based on the final kamehameha struggle, is another mindbender

Probably a tiny bit weaker than full-strength SSJ 2 Gohan. Cell had a bit of an advantage in that Gohan was weakened for their struggle, but Vegeta's intervention near the end helped Gohan finish him off.

At least, that's what I'm assuming. For all I know he could be much stronger or much weaker or something.

So when they abridge the Buu saga will Vegeta remark on how similar Pui Pui is to Cui, in both role and name?

They should be able to fuse into Cui Pui. Or Pui Cui? And their most powerful technique is to die.

[up]Okay, Nap... I mean Team Four Star, what do we have this time ?

Killing Floor ? Well, it's too damn late here for watching this, but this might be intersting...

@Enlong

Err... what? He didn't miss anything. He hit Nappa's entire body with it, and didn't do any damage.

I figured that was because the Tri-beam runs on life force, and since Tien was so wounded, he didn't have very much life force left to use.

Don't make fun of Piccolo, he was only 5 years old at the time.

He's 4 years older than him. In that scene he would've been 3.

So yeah, Goku violently beat up a 3 year old.

Rewatching a couple episodes tonight. Krillin mentions his life insurance policy in an offhand remark towards the end of episode 15.

Nice work, Team Four Star.

I still ship Bulma/Zarbon.

Come to think of it, why did all of King Piccolo's...eggs come out fully grown, but Piccolo Jr. for some reason was a child that reached adulthood in 3 years?

...Man Namekian lifecycles are weird. Wait a second, why did none of King Piccolo's henchmen look like Namekians too?! Heck, for one of them, he just said he wanted a dragon and out came a dragon.

I'm thinking too much about this, aren't I? I mean, it's not like anyone watched Dragonball (not Z).

There's probably some in-universe answer that Saiga somebody can tell you, but the real reason is that Piccolo being an alien rather than a supernatural being was a retcon, and so there wasn't any coherent life cycle at work at the time.

That, and Piccolo Jr. was a very different beast from Piccolo's other minions, both in and out of universe.

I watched Dragon Ball. I actually think I enjoyed it more than Z, to be honest.

Saiga already answered the question about why all of Piccolo Sr.'s kids looked different I think ... let's see:

The others are also Namekians, but they look the way they do because Senior chose their appearances. You see him planning to make Cymbal resemble a dragon before giving birth to him, since Cymbal's goal was to find the Dragon Balls.

The guidebooks expand on this by saying any Namekian can choose what their offspring will look like.

That's from the Dragon Ball manga thread. Post 1138.

Yeah, that's weird as hell. And slightly hard to reconcile with the way everyone on Namek looks like they're from the same species.
