Weird that people found Ten's moment "cool". It was pretty funny to me in how ineffectual it was and how anyone could've done what Ten did. The only reason Cell got pushed back was because he ha no solid ground and couldn't get out of the hole in time before the next shockwave hit him. So basically, anyone that could spam ki blasts would've been enough to hold Cell off there. Compare that to Krillin on Namek,where only Krillin could've fulfilled that role and you get something way cooler. Ten's just a loner, idiot ("You know what hasn't ever done anything for me? mountain training! You know what I'm gonna keep doing? Mountain training!) crybaby.
Anyway, Ten's supposedly a descendent of three-eyed aliens, but they're so far back in his lineage that he's considered fully human.
"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."
That's a lot of hate, Kaname.
I don't think anyone could have done it. Isn't there supposed to be something special about the Kikoho? I remember them building it up like crazy the first time he used it, but it's been years since I've watched or read Dragon Ball.
People consider Tien a badass for standing up to Cell, because he knew he was out of his league, but put his life on the line to slow him down anyways. He bought time for Android 18 to get away so he was successful. Krillin has his moments, but he also has a lot more humiliating moments. Part of it is that Krillin has more oppurtunities to fail, because he gets more screen time. Tien also carries himself like a badass. Krillin is an amiable short and noseless guy that likes to tell jokes. Tien is a tall, muscular, stoic, loner.

It uses up his own life's energy which makes it dangerous to use...that would be the only thing special about it.

No.

It is introduced as being special due to the life-drain factor, but Ten uses it for some fairly mundane things like making holes in the ground to hide in. You'd think he could do that without shaving off his life span, but the Kikoho is his signature. Also, the Kikoho is a "kiai" technique, which are good at pushing people much stronger than you. Base Trunks was able to throw Cell out of a city and into the open plains with a generic one.
And saying Ten accomplished nothing isn't hatred.
He achieved something that was made completely meaningless by someone else's action, bravo.
If things had been completely different, he would have been the tiny difference that made things work. You can throw around any number of "but if this happened, he'd matter" and it doesn't change that he ultimately did not matter.
Tien managed to get the unsenseable androids out of Cell's line of sight.
Someone with a brain could have taken advantage of that.
Krillin could have blown 18 up. 18 could have blown herself up. Vegeta or Trunks could have killed Cell. Goku could have teleported 18 somewhere safe.
It's not Tien's fault that his friends suck.
Well, with Piccolo and 16 down, and Goku taking his sweet time, there was really nothing else that could've prevented Cell from taking 18 before Vegeta and Trunks exited the chamber.
Vegeta massively screwed up an opportunity that wouldn't have existed if Tien had stayed at Kame house.
I have a message from another time...I mean, Vegeta and Trunks weren't out of the Time Chamber yet. It took until after Goku had rescued Tien and Piccolo and healed them.
Maybe if he'd become Perfect right away, if Tien hadn't intervened, Cell would have become a bit impatient? I mean, he can sense energy. He could go right to the lookout. Kill Goku. Kill Gohan.
Vegeta and Trunks come out, Cell decides to hold a tournament, there's nobody to teleport to New Namek, and nobody to defeat Cell. Oops.
Maybe Piccolo would finally have died because Goku didn't have to save Tien, and even if they had somehow managed to beat Cell there'd have been nobody to teach Goten and Trunks fusion. Majin Buu would have gotten bored, and without their ace in the hole to be excited and wait for he'd have destroyed the world.
So anyway. Less than 20 days between episode 47 and episode 48. I sorta like this update schedule, not sure how long they can keep it up. I mean, it just has to be absolute hell on poor Kaiser. Hellsing Abridged is coming up soonish. They've probably been working on that all year, but. Still.
I sorta want another abridged movie or special. I like those. As long as they don't take too long. Maybe they could work on them sorta concurrently with the episodes. I'd be into either World's Strongest Abridged or Android 13 abridged. Or both, actually.

I remember that because of Kaiser spamming it so much during that Super Buu fight in their playthrough.
Did anyone watch the entire thing of that? Near the end, they were going crazy. It was hilarious.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!
