All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

I believe so, they can manipulate their souls freely, i still think that ki should receive a type 3 concept, because they are linked to the existence of everything multiverse, including the soul itself, beyond timelines.

I don't know if this makes much difference to the concept.

But ki defines your existence, in addition to each person having their own ki signature, which also defines whether you are good or bad, it also defines whether you are a deity or not.

I saw GOW using this thing about whether you are a god or not to support the concept. Although there is much more there and there is more context about things.

But it's a way of thinking, personally I don't see a type 3 concept in ki, but if you can do it, well, good, I guess.

 

[Nierre]

And the kishimoto who just confirmed that the jutsu Naruto's most powerful weapon doesn't work against Kid Buu (your conversation)

that's not the real Kishimoto

We literally have this on the verse page.

Talking about being someone's life force, their emotions and mindset. In addition to the additional thing that defines whether you are a god or not.

Genki (元気 lit. "Vigor") is the energy/life force that is projected in ki. Genki is present in the grass and trees, people and animals, inanimate objects, the atmosphere and celestial bodies.[3]

Yūki (勇気 lit. "Courage") is implied to be the literal emotion of courage and the energy rush that comes from that, which would mean ki is as much an emotional concept as it is a physical energy to use in battle.[2] Yūki also makes it possible to grant one's power to another person by cheering and encouraging them.[2][4]

Shōki (正気 lit. "Right-mindedness") is implied to be one's mental state, meaning that by maintaining self-control, balance and staying true to yourself, it is possible to increase your capability in battle.[5]

Why doesn't Ki have life manipulation? If the vital force is part of ki?

 

[TheGodOfICE777]

Mm. This does open up a few questions, though.

Spirit Control is, well, control on the Spirit/Ki, which grants strange abilities like separating Ki (Souls) from a Ki (Soul) Stealer, which then does beg the question: Would the principles of Spirit Control being applied to YOUR OWN Ki be Limited Soul ManipulatIon? Kind of the like the unique "Knowledge of your Soul Outline" operates in JJK? In this case, manipulating your Ki (Soul) to amplify it? I'd argue this seems to be the case, as those without SC are said to be "out of touch with their Spirit." (Spirit being Ki/The Soul.) And increasing that Spirit grants greater power as well as the wealth of techniques (which is described as "shifting, splitting, and growing" one's spirit (Soul).

Bros cooking I think that if someone does use Spirit Control it should automatically be Soul Manipulation though.

Ki could be a type 3 concept, but it wouldn't matter since:

1. No character can manipulate, erase, or control ki at conceptual level
2. No character would actually have AE besides maybe IZ, who already has it.

Besides, Gotenks makes ghosts.

I think it would work if ki were a type 3 concept, ki is everywhere, including in: objects that don't have lives, Planets, Stars, Galaxies, Universes, even in separate timelines, even in a realm where ki shouldn't even exist there is ki there (I'm talking about the afterlife) every being that is born has their own ki.

Akira once compared ki to a concept and as if it were the same as one.

Why doesn't Ki have life manipulation? If the vital force is part of ki?

Life Manipulation is the ability to manipulate the life force that courses inside living beings or the very concept of life itself.

Possible Uses​

• Animation: Some life manipulators are able to breathe life into inanimate objects, turning them into living creatures to aid them in combat.
• Plant Manipulation: Life manipulators are frequently associated with plant life, enriching the ground with life energy in order to cause plants to rapidly grow. Some users can control the life energy within the plants for a variety of effects.
• Healing/Regeneration: Many life manipulators are able to use it to heal themselves or others to greatly prolong the time they spend in combat.
• Life Stealing/Instant Death: Some life manipulators are able to steal life energy or simply remove the life energy from an opponent's body to grievously harm or kill the target.
• Statistics Amplification: Many works feature characters that are able to manipulate the life energy within their own body to grant them Superhuman Physical Characteristics or bolster their already great physical prowess.

Ki has none of those. At best, you can argue that abilities with Ki absorption like Genkidama or Moro's absorption do. But again, energy absorption would be a way more proper term in that case

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

that's not the real Kishimoto

Yes, just to make fun

 

[RedReaper616]

I mean, I can see spirit control granting self Soul Manipulation, maybe. But not ki manipulation in general, though.

I agree. Normal Ki Manipulation can't harm Souls. It's merely using life energy to project energy and gain access to esoteric abilities.

 

[Nullflowerblush]

Besides, Gotenks makes ghosts.

He makes Ki in the shape of ghosts.

 

[JustANormalPerson01]

Besides, Gotenks makes ghosts.

Those are not ghosts in the actual sense, though, but ki constructs with the shape of ghosts

 

[Spinoirr]

Question: if a whole power system is basied on a "manifestation of the soul" then wouldn't that grant limited soul manipulation?

Tenshinhan died after expending all his ki, If anyone has no more doubts, what's over ki and you're completely dead

 

[JustANormalPerson01]

Don't know if this could grant anything, but Ki blasts are stated to be chemical projectile weapons

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

Naruto from what i remember won, if I'm not mistaken, and both have almost the same concept as Dragon Ball

 

[RedReaper616]

Bros cooking I think that if someone does use Spirit Control it should automatically be Soul Manipulation though.

If we do propose this, I do want to say we should probably up better define Vegeta's Soul Manipulation, because we learn at the very end of the Moro Arc that Reverse Forced Spirit Fission can work. (With it being very similarly to the Spirit Bomb, but as a dedicated transfer method of Ki.)

 

[Nullflowerblush]

Metaphor.

 

[Phsccarvalho]

It is said that it spits ki in the form of ectoplasm, it seems pretty obvious to me that ki can be used to form ghosts/souls

 

[Nullflowerblush]

It is said that it spits ki in the form of ectoplasm

ectoplasm-shaped ki

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

Metaphor.

Hyperbole

 

[Nullflowerblush]

Hyperbole

Personification.

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

Personification.

That's it, it's been a while since i saw you, i miss you, bro.

 

[Phsccarvalho]

ectoplasm-shaped ki

In ectoplasm form, it is not simply just ki, it is ki in ectoplasm form.

 

[Nullflowerblush]

In ectoplasm form, it is not simply just ki, it is ki in ectoplasm form.

Where are you reading this from?

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

That the fight begins, whenever we touch on something complex there are fights, how i love it.

 

[Accelerated_Evolution]

I got like 10+ scans of Ki being based

Peak

 

[Cass5373]

It amuses me how certain users deny the obvious

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

It amuses me how certain users deny the obvious

That's very funny, every time we try to get something that's right, there will always be endless denial.

 

[FrolzeurX]

Dragon ball small abilities addition

 

[BlackeJan]

Yes

Huh. Isn’t things in Kakarot are like the canon stuff that would appear in the anime if it had time?

 

[RinneItachi]

And the kishimoto who just confirmed that the jutsu Naruto's most powerful weapon doesn't work against Kid Buu (your conversation)

Literally how most Kid Buu "versus battles" go . He ain't like the other DB characters who wait and see what their opponents can do he's just destruction incarnate. Bro got on Earth and the first thing he did was scream and then blow up the planet.

Exactly, Naruto's conversation jutsu would be useless

 

[Jinsama]

tier 0 genkidama

 

[StarShooter80]

I still think this could be important, I still can't see the images

Dragon Ball Feats: CT123 Edition

So I'm guessing Roshis moon buster is now valid? Before his showings weren't validated due to multiple reasons? It was always valid, people just didn’t wanna admit it.

www.fanverse.org

 

[StarShooter80]

Cause it supports speed scaling multiplies beyond just 1048c, also is there anyway to scale Goku to the spirit bomb? likely later on in super

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

I don't understand calculus and multipliers, but it looks good

 

[LuffyRuffy46307]

The Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2024 took place on March 8th in Ikebukuro, Tokyo and Akira Toriyama was selected as one of the award winners in the "Contribution to the Animation Industry" category. The announcement had already been known for a few months.

At the event venue, a space was set up displaying Toriyama's manga and illustrations, as well as panels with a brief biography of the mangaka, who created "characters with a unique charm to drive the world crazy" and treated as "a mangaka who created historical works".

The point is that the organizers of the event were certainly not aware of the author's death, which was announced on the same day that the event began. As a result, Toriyama's comment on the award was leaked. This is perhaps the last recorded message from Akira Toriyama:

To be honest, I've never had a great interest in anime, not even in the past. Even when my works have been adapted into an anime format, I end up being ashamed to admit that I haven't watched them much, so I ask the teams to forgive me.

About ten years ago, in fact, I was asked to revise the script for a Dragon Ball anime movie and, at the time, I ended up drawing the characters' backgrounds and doing some simple designs. It was amazing to discover that this kind of work was rewarding and fun. I realized that I could rely on the team members to take care of the hard parts (laughs).

It's really embarrassing for me to receive an award for contribution to the animation industry from the Tokyo Anime Award Festival. Thank you very much!

Regarding the new Dragon Ball animation, Dragon Ball Daima, Toriyama left the following message

I designed not only the story itself, but also the worldview, the character design and the mechas. I believe it will be a production rich in content, not just intense action. I'd be grateful if you could enjoy watching it.

Toriyama's last living comment ended in the most painful way possible with the following statement:

Due to my lifestyle in my youth, I'm not very confident about my health, so I don't know how much more I can do. However, I will strive to create more interesting works. Please continue to support me in the future!

 

[Serlock_Holmes]

Daima is gonna be hype! Also makes sense for him to know his general condition wasn't the best. Sad for the artists burdening their bodies with the hope of making it big and even after.
