Piccolo is in danger because any regeneration takes ki. Fighting also uses up ki.

When Trunks shattered him, he hadn't done any fighting or used up his ki. He was at the top of his regenerative game. Also, a lot stronger than he was previously where lesser injuries would kill him.

[up][up] Huh what what? That didn't work because Cell realized it would kill him and dodged at the last second.

[up][up][up] It's a reference to Old Man Henderson.

[up][up]I thought Vegeta arced it away at the last second and only grazed Cell. A direct hit would have taken the planet with him.

Oh really when?

No, Cell dodged. Vegeta did arc it away from the planet but only after it hit.

Vegeta narrowed the beamwidth mostly

also they really shouldn't try to edit out a character entirely. Kill Ginyu sure, he never showed up in the manga again anyway.

I I thought he tried to dodge, but the ground broke beneath his feet before he could.

Huh? No. If that happened then Cell would have died.

Well either way if Cell had taken that full on he'd have died.

So how is Piccolo ever in danger ever?

The same way Vegeta is. Both characters demonstrate the ability to take a ton of punishment and keep coming back for more, and are absurdly hard to actually kill. When Goku refuses to die, it's because he outsmarted, overpowered, or otherwise defeat the attack you launched at him. When Vegeta and Piccolo do it, it's because they took everything you had right to the face, then dusted themselves off and were like, "Is that all you got?! Come on, I can do this all day!"

Well, yeah. Vegeta is a career punching bag. Naturally, his ability to take a punch would be his best attribute.

They said the thing!

Also, they should have gotten Tien's Z-Soul. The 5-star one that makes you immune to all any and all Kamehamehas.

EDIT: Kaiser likes that people caught that they were foreshadowing nettled!

Does that mean me!? Is Kaiser secretly one of you jerks?

Hi Kaiser! grin

As I brought up last page, in Episode 22 of Xenoverse, Kaiser asks if Lani is nettled, similar to the way Goku and Cell do.

In today's episode of Xenoverse, Kaiser mentions that he liked that a lot of people caught that it was foreshadowed in the Xenoverse LP.

I mean, I don't know when the Xenoverse playthrough videos are recorded, or where Kaiser saw that people caught it, but.
