The BEST Defensive Technique in Dragon Ball - Barrier Explained

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

I loved how 17 had so many variations of the technique during the Tournament of Power as opposed to JUST being a shield. From creating shields around others, using it for offensive tactics like strengthening his punch to break Aniraza's head gem/radar.

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.

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.

[@cnothegoat23]

Every time I hear the intro song I think of Mystikal “the man right chea”

[@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.

[@CommandLineVulpine]

Great vid. I don't buy the "you have to be twice as strong as the blast to use it" Because if you're already twice as strong in DBZ, that blast wouldn't hurt you anyway. Or you'd have the speed to dodge or deflect it. Super Namekian Piccolo was close to an even match to 17, outside of endurence perhaps.

[@CommandLineVulpine]

It would make more sense if it was like "it can block up to twice as much energy as you put in" That makes it actually useful and matches what we see on screen better.

[@r01d2]

"must emit twice their opponents (attack) Ki" that's neat rule so people wont abuse the barrier, to explain why not all attack just be tanked with barrier, because it taxing more than evading and sometime can't simply overpower incoming attack, if there's no such rule it'll create hole like "using eagles to the Mordor"

[@marcoprieto623]

I love the technique guide intro it's fkn sick 😷

[@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.

What sound you use from the technique guide when your opening (intro) goes. Plus your intro is awsome homie 👌 🙌.

[@SavageEntertainmentYEAH]

I have a theory for non android characters. To protect yourself against a stronger opponent with a barrier they most likely flare their ki up at the point of impact of an attack so it doesn’t constantly eat ki. If you release more ki right when you get hit you should be able to conserve ki more effectively.

[@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.

Also, Super 17 also absorbed Physical Damage, too. The more damage he took, whether it be Physical or Energy, he absorbed both, and got stronger the more he got rekt!

If cell had any form of endless energy from his siblings it would negate the tired senzu bean scene before he fought Gohan. Thus, it's fair to assume he had no access to those "power wells" only to assimilate the max powers 17/18 had to supplement his own. Also this proves that the barrier Vegito used drained the last of their energy directly causing the fusion to end exactly like in the Zamasu ark. They didn't explain it back in the day and did so later, but the acts are the same.

What about when Future Gohan used the "energy shield" to nullify 17 and 18's ki attacks in the History of Trunks? I'm sure that technique is unrelated, but you could argue that Gohan may have seen 17 or 18 use that behind the scenes and might have tried to replicate it to some extent.

I'd like for Goku to use this technique in battle rather than just evading attacks. Like for example if he needs to counter an attack rather than just answering with his own, he could use the barrier ti take it and then immediately counter.

[@hangtownvapers313]

I always believe Cell had to absorb energy to maintain his raised energy level because he didn't have an infinite energy generator like the Androids until he absorbed 1. I always figured if he expended all his energy his energy would only restore to his natural level or just a little above his power level before he started absorbing people. Plus with the way he absorbs people versus the Androids I figured he was literally drinking them like a red bull so not permanent just a temporary boost that once used it's gone and needs to be replaced

[@neosonic199]

I liked the part in the ToP, where 17 uses it to impede Jiren's attack and seemingly sacrifices himself to help Goku and Vegeta escape the blast. There's also in the Broly movie, where Frieza uses it to protect himself from Broly's attack, whilst Paragus got blown away (that was savage lol).

[@aliveandwellinisrael2507]
