I think the entire Saiyan species runs on that logic, really.

...I kind of want a call back to Episode of Bardock in the Buu Saga.

Maybe when they think Gohan died. Something along the lines of.

CHICHI: "And I never even got a chance to say goodbye to our son!"

GOKU: "We have one of those? Oh gamikai, we have two of those!"

well it is true that nobody ever thought to destroy a powerball when Vegeta used it.

They always went for the tail.

Once Dende becomes God, I want to see people start using his name for exclamations.

  • VIDEL: Oh, thank God.
  • GOHAN: His name is Dende.
  • VIDEL: What?
  • GOHAN: Nothing.

I just noticed that when Goku switches with Ginyu, he thinks Chichi will hate him being purple and horny.

He says he stopped taking his heart medicine because it was grape flavored.

And apparently grapes make him sweat purple.

When Gohan turns Oozaru, Vegeta notes that he has to cut off the tail because the power ball will still last a few hours.

So they do need it to maintain the transformation, and it doesn't sound easy to destroy.

Maybe it's a Saiyan thing.

Vegeta had a battle power of 18,000. Krillin and Gohan were at 981 and 1,770, respectively. It is entirely possible that they could both have poured every ounce of energy they could possibly muster into destroying Vegeta's power ball and come up entirely fruitless.

Goku might have had more of a chance, but not only did he have the big, angry Oozaru Vegeta on his ass the entire time, his body was trashed from pushing his Kaioken to x4. He was in no condition to try to bring down the power ball either.

And then when Vegeta's turn came around to be the one screwed by the power ball, he'd already tanked a ton of battle damage, the x4 Kamehameha, the loss of his tail, and the Spirit Bomb. He was already running on fumes as it was.

Destroying the power ball may be possible, but it just wasn't viable given the circumstances.

I thought those were Krillin and Gohan's suppressed power levels, which was why Vegeta didn't want to trust those readings. I also base this on the part where Krillin killed three Raditz.

Then again, they did have the shit beaten out of them by this point. But then they had half a Senzu each. But then they had the shit beaten out of them again.

But Gohan would have gotten a Zenkai from having the shit beaten out of him.

Gohan's power level could rise; Vegeta didn't trust the scouters because Raditz had gotten screwed by doing that. And that's Krillin's max power. His 1700+ > 3 guys with 1200.

I thought Krillin was the one at 981 there.

Yeah. If Vegeta was at top shape, he'd probably just take out the power ball. But in the state he was in, blasting it at all would've been too much.

I have a message from another time...

If he was in top shape he'd have just wrecked Gohan's shit and been done with it.

Oh so you guys think you've figured out the powerball thing huh? Well here's a wrinkle for you: In Tree of Might, Turles makes a powerball, then makes Gohan look at it so he transforms, then Turles destroys said powerball, and Gohan doesn't change back. Try to make sense of that!

Wait, so did Turles just shut his eyes so he wouldn't transform?

I hadn't seen that one in a while, but I was considering asking how he knew where to aim when he blew it up.

So Tulles doesn't know how to control himself?

Probably. I think Vegeta was the only one we saw able to control themselves. Even Bardock couldn't control himself until that scenario in Xenoverse.
