DRAGON BALL Red Ribbon Scans

The Kaioken is my FAVORITE Dragon Ball technique but my second one is the Destructo Diso!

Look at it!

Plus even GOKU has used it from time to time!

DID VEGETA KNOW THE KIENZAN?

No, Vegeta doesn't know the Kienzan. There are just similar types of techniques.

VEGETA HAD AN ATTACK LIKE THE KIENZAN:

THE KAMEHAMEHA WAS LIKE THE GALICK GUN:

What happened is that the Earthlings had began to develop techniques similar to what other aliens had already done years before them. This is why Vegeta & Freeza have similar attacks similar to Krillin's Kienzan, why the Crane School's Dodan Ray is similar to Freeza's Death Beam, & why the Kamehameha that Roshi invented was similar to the Galick Gun that Vegeta used.

Does Krillin's Destructo Disc works on somewhat on a similar principle as Tien's Tri-Beam in that he has to infuse some of his lifeforce into the technique in order for it to be deadly to opponents several times his power level?

It's more that it's a bit like a buzz saw lined with razor blades, honestly. It's a technique that does, at first, take a significant amount of his energy to make, but the thin edges combined with the serrated edge and spinning motion, is used to slice through most anything. There's a paper on how buzz saws work and manage to cut through different kinds of wood if you wanna get into the technicalities of how it could work, but the TL;DR version is basically geometry + sharpness + spin = energy efficiency. So basically, Krillin is secretly a nerd who decided to work smarter with his energy, not harder.

Tumblr has her number blocked so don’t tag her post with her name, use her original name Lazuli.

We need to go back and correct all the comics that had her tagged.

When I was a kid I was in love with naruto and then I watched Dragon Ball and I was like "Woah Kuririn's Kienzan looks and acts like Naruto's RasenShuriken."

See?

They also act a little alike. They are very capable of mass destruction and slice through everything in their way like butter.

So I did a little digging and it turns out that a lot of DB influnced Kishimoto in writing Naruto.

See! Ik I'm not the first person to see the similarities, but I thought it was interesting.
