The senzu was actually introduced in the red ribbon army saga when goku climbed the Karin tower to defeat taopaipai. The healing aspect though, was introduced in the piccolo saga

[@jessiejoy1703]

Memekage I just left this comment as well. You are right. Cause goku eats it just to get full at first and doesn’t know it heals you

[@SmugPandaStudios]

I was going to leave this same comment, which is funny because he shows the page from that arc of Goku eating the senzu. I think their initial intent was to cancel out Goku's weakness of being weakened by getting hungry. I was hoping Geekdom was going to discuss how their purpose transitioned with the story.

[@jessiejoy1703]

NINTENDO_SONYFAN SOLDIER I realize that, that wasn’t the point of my comment. I’m just stating they were introduced before geekdom says. Which is funny cause he consistently bitches about doing the research yet he didn’t even mention the original senzu scene of dragon ball

[@MajinGaijin]

As a gullible kid in the 90’s I was duped into believing Dragon Ball AF had red senzu called “dragon beans” which were essentially amped up super senzu that not only heal injuries but increase your overall power. Lol what a strange era that was.

Man Geekdom I’ve always loved your channel. Got into it just before super got back on air and followed through the whole series with all of your video reviews. Haven’t been on top of much of your content since super ended. Videos like these tho, always catch my attention and I truly appreciate you’re efforts and hard work putting these videos like this together cause I’ve always wondered Where these ideas come from I honestly agree with about 95% of what you say about dbz so that’s awesome .

[@OwlBeBack25]

Wow I never even knew they kept you full for 10 days. You learn something new every day

[@niroc6018]

Woah, I honestly thought they were introduced earlier in the red ribbon ark when Goku first went to Korins and originally they were used as a food source to keep you full for up to a week and then afterward Korin ate a fish because he hadn't eaten in 100 years (maybe a thousand???). I need to rewatch dragon ball lol

[@NinjaKingAce]

You were right. They were introduced in the Red Ribbon arc, shortly after Goku lost to Mercenary Tao. Geekdom should really fact check his videos

I believe the typo made in the manga is something i wanted to clear up. The senzu couldn't grow back gohan's arm, it is just that with it they could have reattached gohans arm while it was still fresh given the healing ability of the bean. Other then that minor, and truly understandable thing, great video, you are very good at your work sir ^.^

About the Senzu being unable to heal Goku of his heart virus, DBZ Kai explains that, even with the bean's 10 days worth of nutrients, Goku's body was unable to shake off the infection. And though it's never stated in canon, the bean may have actually accelerated the disease.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

So noticed in the intro you said if you were sick a Senzu would fix you up which is false. Senzu only restore your stamina and heal physical injuries, which is why it didn't help Goku when the heart virus started attacking him. also Senzu were introduced during the Red Ribbon saga when Goku first met Korin. That's why he told Yajirobie that he only needed to eat one in the manga panel you showed.

[@MxPotato84]

Last year, i made senzu cookies for fun to pass out, dressed as Bulma during AnimeNYC. Of course i asked if the person has any gluten allergies or other sensitivities. They were a big hit! I just made regular sugar cookies with green food coloring, and put on green icing that has various B vitamins and potassium mixed in to help keep a con-goer and cosplayers going throughout the long day. Despite potassium being well known for having a yucky taste, many people loved them, especially my friends. They don’t heal any wounds but they keep your energy up, so thats good. Funny thing, i ate one first thing in the morning during that con weekend cuz my leg cramped up in the middle of the night, so the potassium helped me and the B vitamins gave me the energy i needed to get ready for the day.

[@lordnul1708]

My hypothesis is that the beans can regrow limbs, but you need to use multiple, hence why in the manga they mentioned growing them instead of having at least one. ...and also why the TFS parody of Super Android 13 said Goku needed "a few" senzu to heal his groin after Super 13 punched him in the groin... So hard in fact, that it temporarily erased Goten from the timeline in said parody. As for sickness, my hypothesis on that is the healing is based on cell division, and a virus infects cells, so it would probably make the sickness worse.

[@AdamTaghavi1]

Yo geekdom, if you see this, hit us with a video on what you think would happen with Beerus vs Meerus.

[@CelticVizard]

My thing is... What's it like when you bite down on one? The Senzu's texture... I always hear a crunch when they eat them. I imagine kinda like cashews or almonds.

I use chocolate covered espresso beans as real life Senzu beans! They don't heal you exactly, but it will give you a boost of energy! 😁

[@JohnnyTightlips2007]

The one thing that is confusing is the Beans ability to regrow a whole limb (If they can or cannot) and from your description it sounds like both. So my guess is if you take a bunch of beans immediately after you lose an arm, they can restore it.

[@heatherg5239]

Yea, thats why future gohan couldn’t regrow his arm because his arm was gone for so long it was a scar

Another effect of the bean is that eating just one made you completely full. Eat just one, you won't need to eat again for ten days. You'd probably die from a ruptured stomach if you tried to eat two or three at once.

[@JauStudioFR]

In France, we have "Feed" (yes, english name lol) that gives you 1/3 of everything your body needs per day in some bars or soup. It's pretty impressive. I wonder if the founder is a DB fan lol.

[@ytw101]

Actually, in super, it is shown that they CAN heal lost limbs. So any physical damage you recieve, the senzu can heal instantly. Its just that in the enitietry of the series, they have never been used on someone who lost a limb in the original series. But In the manga of super, it is shown for the very first time to actually do so. However, keep in mind, only PHYSICAL effects does it work. Diseases or virus are not able to be cured or treated.

[@emanueltorres1739]
