Piccolo vs 17 is one of my favorite anime fights

[@finkfunk1745]

Same

The Ultimate Gohan fight Vs Buu was one of mine

[@LordMalice6d9]

I wish Cell did.not interrupt the fight. A Piccolo and 17 rematch would be fun.

[@Acrosurge]

Seems like Number 17 has taken the technique to a whole new level, being able to project barriers around other people in multiple layers, materialize walls of energy, focus the barrier around a single fist, or even catch other fighters within the barrier itself so they cannot get free.

Would that also be considered?

[@kilam4evur927]

I did love how Jiren could passively emit a barrier, possibly through his ki pressure. With that he was able to block Evolution Vegeta, Kaioken Goku and 17's combined ki assault

Big bull shit. Its not logical from a power scaling standpoint in DBZ, and even less so from a power scaling standpoint in DBS. If anything, a defensive move would make sense if the technique allows you to withstand attacks from opponents that are twice as strong as you. Otherwise if you are already twice as strong as your opponent why do you need a barrier to begin with?

[@bdhuffman42]

Hey Geekdom! Question for you about Cell having infinite energy. Cell is shown to be completely organic, unlike 17 and 18 who have mechanical enhancements inside their bodies. If this is true, he should be unable to have infinite energy (outside of maybe a wish from the dragon balls). Unless I'm mistaken, only 17 and 18 are directly stated several times to have infinite energy. If you say that Cell has it as well, then what would have been the point of giving him a senzu bean? Not for injuries, since he had already regenerated from his fight with Goku. And if the bean was not for injuries or for his energy, then why give him one. It would have done nothing. While logically his absorption of the androids should have given him infinite energy, they do not seem to have written him this way. What is your thoughts? Great content as always.

[@dragonslayer2107]

Here is something strange that I have been thinking about for a while. Most people think of barriers as something that can only be used for defense but if you think about it, what does a barrier do? It keeps things from entering a space or to be more precise it denies them the ability to be there. Or you can say that it cuts/divides areas of space into multiple parts. In theory if it was used by someone powerful who had a great deal of control it could be used to "disassemble" an object or a person's body.

[@marcustuggles8761]

Future Gohan did it too and in Tenkaichi 3 it was called Andriod barrier. you could use it too physically push away opponents

[@DanielGuerra92]

Gohan also used a barrier that I feel was an over looked technique. It was when he fighting Buutenks in a crater. Buutenks launched a ki blast & Gohan used a barrier that reflected his ki blast right back. It didn't do much to Buutenks but I always thought it was a cool technique that never got used after that.

[@fedoraex4773]

From what I understand, and I could be wrong here, the Infinite generator allows for unlimited stamina and unlimited ki production. For example, if 17 and piccolo were equal in max power and shot a ki beam at each other to see who would last the longest 17 would out last him. If someone was stronger like toppo then they could just slap em away. It's like how future trunks was so much stronger it didn't mattered or semi perfect cell.
