![]() Videl grew up thinking that sort of thing was just "tricks", according to her father, but clearly that sort of thing ocurred frequently not that long ago in the Dragon Ball world, and it's doubtful that Cell used tricks to blow up a good portion that that city when he appeared on television. The revelation during his fight with Piccolo is a great one, but it wouldn't have lessened it if we saw at least some theoretical speculation about it some time around when Tenshinhan and Chaozu introduced it (come to think of it, isn't Puar using it all the time?).Īs it is, the reader, or in this case, viewer, has to wait until Gohan trains Videl in the art of flying before we get, if a bit abstractly, a lesson in what it means to be a ki manipulator (for lack of better term). ![]() Goku isn't revealed to have known Bukujutsu, the flying technique, until the end of the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai, and doesn't start using it regularly until after training with Kaio. However, it wouldn't have hurt if at some point, maybe when Kamesennin was giving Goku and Kuririn his personal training, or when Goku was training at Kami's, to get some more eleborate discussion on the use of "ki", detecting it, tracking it, using it, flying with it. And from there, those kinds of things are simply built upon to the point where, eventually, giant beams fired out of characters' hands and balls of fire capable of obliterating entire planets just seem like a natural escalation based on the increasing powers of the characters in the story. When we're first introduced to Son Goku, he's already shrugging off bullets like they were bug bites, so him firing a laser out of his hands and destroying a car with it isn't that big of a stretch when you go from there. If you over explain something, if you time out from the narrative and try to give technical details of something adventerous and nebulous like ki techniques, it may come off as being needless, forced exposition that takes you out of the story. That approach, I will admit, has its merits. Frypan (destroying most of the mountain with it) and it's some destructive beam of light that doesn't really get a lot of explanation, and we go from there to other wild techniques that just sort of pop up and exist. Goku learns to use the Kamehameha immediately after seeing Kamesennin use it to put out the flames of Mt. DBZ's fighters have been using all kinds of ki techniques since the beginning, and even in the beginning of Dragon Ball, it's never really given a proper introduction. ![]() That is, the explanation of implementing "ki" (chi, or simply "energy" in Funimation's dubs). What I enjoy about this episode, this part of the manga, and about the same animated, is something that was frankly kind of overdue in the story, but probably very difficult to place. ![]() Videl arrives for training one day with shorter hair, as suggested by Gohan for safety during the tournament. Vegeta is aghast that Trunks can also become a Super Saiyan at his age. Eventually she manages to levitate, while Goten masters flying handily. Both Videl and Goten need to be taught to use Bukujutsu, but first Videl has to be taught how to use her ki. Gohan begins training with Goten, discovering that he can also become a Super Saiyan, but asks him to keep it under wraps when Videl arrives to learn how to fly. Synopsis: After informing Kuririn, Artificial Human 18, and Piccolo about the Budoukai, Gohan tells his mother about his father returning to the living world for a day.
