[Death Battle #23] Son Goku Vs. Superman

Fuck......

CAUSE I CAN! Goku can sense Supes via Ki.

Remember Canon only sources for Supes and Goku unless otherwise stated.

Round 1: PC Superman Vs Goku; Goku get's everything that doesn't contradict the Manga.

  • Round 1b: Only manga feats

Round 2: Nu52 Supes Vs Goku Pre BoTG

Round 3: Just so everyone Deathbattle gets their thing. Supes w/ All-star comic Vs GT Goku

Round 4: Strongest person Flutterguy's depiction of Goku can beat.

Round 5: Strongest person Ragegeta's depiction of Goku can beat, this also includes that insane speed calc.

Round 6: Will this battle Ever end?No

Bonus: If you don't want to say who wins, just make a reason why Deathbattle's calcs were wrong.

As per rules of Death Battle, they're both going for the kill

I don't mean to intrude on the debate, just pointing a few things out.

No problem!

To say that he tanked a supernova's worth of energy, he'd practically have to be hugging the source of the blast when it went off.

If we go by that logic, do we have any evidence against the Split-Durability Theory? As in, do we have any evidence they can bust planets with their punches?

Oh yeah, I should probably answer the main question, my bad. Well, the Split-Durability Theory has evidence against it in the form of Ki acting like a physical force, able to push, cut, stab, and slam things. Yes, sometimes it washes over people like some kind of energy, but I suppose you could attribute that to the variety of uses for and forms of Ki. In addition, I can't recall any time that a character at the supposed planet-punching level has actually been damaged by the impact of hitting something, instead of whatever attack hit them into it. If someone's out there who can correct me, then by all means please do, preferably with a few examples.

I've heard since I posted that Buu being destroyed by his own blasts were filler, so there goes that evidence.

I've also heard that, allegedly, Cell missed a full-strength punch and barely dented the ground, but I've seen no clip/scan to prove it.

If the Theory is correct, then the ki transfers minimum physical force, but instead transfers like heat. The Z Fighters would absorb the heat well, but would be hurt by force.

Forgive me if this comment seems sparse. I'd written it better, but I accidentally backspaced off the page once.

Ah, I hate it when that happens. I'm pretty sure that the thing with Goku focusing Ki into his finger to block Trunks focusing Ki into his sword shows that Ki can be focused into physical attacks and defense. Also, how do you make those lines?

Perhaps the ki can only augment the body to a point, as evidenced by Cell's alleged punch.

You put three or more "-"s together in a row, no spaces.

Remember to double-push enter before and after you do it, or else you:

End up with this weird/cool affect.

I read the Cell fight around a month ago, and I don't recall seeing him punch the ground at any point.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Maybe it was filler?

No problem.
