I mean,a blaster or sword that's actually useable would be kinda cool,but DB is more punchy and lazery.Maybe in XV 3.
Along with the Android race.
If the work doesn't have guns after a certain point...like Dragon Ball.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Ah, but we also know that it's 100% possible for a gun of some sort to hurt Goku or he's not expecting danger, such as that one laser blaster in RF. And bullets have more mass than a laser, so the damage should clearly be even greater in the right conditions.
Get Farmer With A Sniper Rifle out here, and the gods themselves have a problem.
I have a message from another time...He wasn't hurt by them either at that point.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I love the idea that Toyotaro was like "I have no idea how I can make this not stupid so I'm just gonna skip it."
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!More likely it's that he already had to draw the start of the story just a few months prior for the same magazine, so it'd be really weird if they suddenly either put in the first few chapters again or suddenly skip from Battle of Gods to Golden Freeza fighting Goku with no build-up.
That, and I think they wanted him to get ahead of the anime to promote the Champa arc. You know. To tell people that stuff is going to happen in Super outside of movie retellings.
But in his RF manga, Toyotaro kept things pretty much the same. I don't think he would change much even if he could.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!He was hit in the temple with a sniper bullet as a child and it merely stung. Now, I know people would argue that he was prepared for it because he was attacking the RRA base, but that's ridiculous - it took him completely off-guard and the difference in strength between child Goku and SSB Goku is literally more than 100 million times.
That's not why Vegeta was spared and trying to make it about that is asinine. I'll never understand why you get so hung up over Nappa being less of a dick than Vegeta was at that time. He's still an monster to anyone that isn't a Saiyan, and having that small bit of camaraderie doesn't mean he's proportionally more redeemable than Vegeta.
Sure, when you look at the two as villains Nappa looks like he'd have a better chance of redeeming than Vegeta, but you can't look at the redeemed Vegeta and say "well obviously Nappa should be even better if he was redeemed" because that's not how it works. He could have just as easily stayed the lesser evil instead of becoming a good guy, and he showed no signs that he could even be a good guy. No-one's obligated to give Nappa a chance. The narrative isn't about that and the characters don't give a flying fuck.
A few pages ago someone mentioned that Krillin's death by Buu was probably quick, but I've been pondering that. When does a person die after being chocolatified/jawbreakerfied/etceterafied by Buu? Candy isn't exactly the most living thing around, maybe it's instant death when they get zapped. Or when he bites down, given the emphasis they tended to put on that. We also see him digest stuff pretty fast, maybe it's then.
I actually started thinking about this in regards to those people he made into clay for his house (was that in the manga?). He didn't eat them, of course. Were they still alive, screaming with a thousand intermingled voices, until Kid Buu blew up the planet?

Given that Vegitto could taunt and defeat Buu as a piece of candy, being turned into food must be an And I Must Scream situation.
There was an extension scene that had him imply consciousness (he was ranting to someone, can't remember if it was Yamcha or not, about how messed up that particular death was to experience). I imagine the animators were extrapolating from the jawbreaker scene.

I have a message from another time...In the scene where he kills everyone (which is filler, a shame given how good a scene it is. The most recent episode of Super flashes back to it Toei-style, so that's cool), the only time he stops to talk IIRC is right after using the attack on 18 and Marron. And he's more gloating about how good they taste after the fact.
I don't remember him talking to anyone he Candy Beams, except Vegetto.

The Vegetto example proves that it is possible to retain consciousness and motor functions as a candy with a sufficient level of power, but the different in magnitude between Vegetto and Joe Q. Public is so insane that there is no reason at all to believe any of the helpless bystanders were capable of it.
And there's also no reason to assume they would retain consciousness if they didn't retain motor functions. It's not like flying is a candy-exclusive ability. If Cookie Dabura was conscious, I'd imagine he'd be able to use his ki control too.

Nothing wrong with Guns Are Worthless as a trope. Depending on the work there's no reason to get worked up about it.
