Goku can sense Bulma. Goku cannot sense 17 and 18.

...I mean, 18 probably had a detectable ki signature when she was pregnant with Marron. It wasn't hers, but.

Goku can sense Bulma from halfway across the universe and cannot sense 17 and 18.

Yep, this one gets my vote. Buu couldn't sense 17 and so he couldn't have fired a shot his way. 17 was going about his business, ranging his park, when suddenly everybody died and then a short while later, the Earth exploded.

You know, I wonder how Gohan is going to react if he bonds with Android 16, only to find out that Android 16 cannot be brought back via Dragon Ball.

If Android 8 can be brought back, 16 can. He's just not a person by Shenron's understanding, so he doesn't get hit by the "Bring back everyone killed by Cell" wish. He's an object and, unlike 8, there wasn't a "Put everything in the world back where it was" wish preceding the mass revival. Gohan would probably have to spend a separate wish on 16 being reconstructed.

[up] Jojo?

I was referring to the band. You know, the guys that named themselves after a steam-powered dildo from Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs. I've never watched Jojo...except that one clip of a guy licking a cherry in a really weird way, but that was because Will Wheaton was mocking it.

Ohhh, right. I forgot that like half of the people in Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure have the names of bands.

Literally one guy in the first season is named Robert Eo Speedwagon.

If 17 and 18 don't need food, just water, then does that mean if they cut their hair it will never grow back? And they can never heal from cuts or scrapes?

There's no organic material with which to build more hair or tissue.

It would also mean that 17 can't have kids because he has no organic material with which to "recharge", so to speak.

If you took it that far wouldn't that mean 18 couldn't conceive a child?

Also would she need to eat when she was pregnant for Marron's sake?

Yeah, 18 would need organic material just to maintain her reproductive cycle, let alone provide for Marron.

They have infinite energy.

Maybe they can convert that energy into matter.

Yes that's bullshit.

So is the concept of infinite energy.

...I mean, for what it's worth, Dende heals people using ki. He doesn't give them any food to replenish themselves with.

Maybe it's not so much "infinite production of energy" as it is extremely efficient photovoltaic cells that never wear out and have a long enough battery charge to not be affected by nightfall? tongue

While it would make an absolutely huge amount of sense (Green skin, plantlike qualities, adapted to a planet with three suns in perpetual daylight), I don't think it was ever confirmed that Namekians photosynthesize, was it?

...I mean.

Bringing up Dende healing.

One time Dende healed a hole in Vegeta's chest.

And a hole in Krillin's.

Like.

Where did the new skin and organs and muscles and blood come from?

When Frieza transforms what happens to his body? Where does he get the mass when he turns into his second form? Where does the mass go in his final form?

In the Grade II and Grade III Super Saiyan transformations and Broly, where do they get the muscle mass?

I guess energy-to-matter conversion is the only logical conclusion.

Which, considering the conversion rate between the two, means Dende's healing ki has the energy potential of like a 20 teraton nuclear bomb. He could heal the Earth to its total annihilation.

Why would Android 13 get bulkier and also turn blue from getting a pair of computer chips and a pair of batteries?

Why is Cell the same size when he drinks people? And when he absorbs 17 and 18?

He spits up 18 later and she doesn't seem any worse for wear. Aside from being covered in goo.

How does Buu shrink people when he absorbs them?

You know those prank cans of peanut brittle that burst into toy snakes when you unscrew the lid? 14 and 15's microchips are like those, but with blue dye instead.

Buu is explicitly magical. Maybe their excess mass is dimensionally displaced for the time they're inside Buu.

...How does the Oozaru transformation work?

How do they grow all that bone and muscle and skin and hair?

...Where does it all go afterwards?

I mean.

How do Roshi's muscles work when he does the full power kamehameha?

Somehow I don't think this series follows the law of conservation of mass. Or energy.

That makes sense.

I mean, Buu has been on Earth for a long time.

Maybe Mr. Brief invented the capsules after he found Buu's pod.

Maybe bits of Buu slipped out over millions of years.
