Actually I think KI is very much like magic, except KI is the direct application of that energy on the body and not the world around you. But as far as people casting spells they still have to manipulate that same energy in order to make go into the state to conjure up these external forces. I like how they portrayed it in Berserk. It’s all visualization and breathing which is what you would do when applying KI in situations.
I tend to think of magic as supernatural. By Dragon Ball’s internal logic, ki seems natural. Everybody has ki. It’s just a matter of how much, and obtaining more is a simple matter of training, like a muscle.
Goku channeling ki into his attakcs is natural. Buu transforming people into chocolate and eating them is supernatural, i.e. magic, because it relies on no apparent consistent laws of nature as they appear in the DB universe.

They’re a homing beam attack that can do a number of things to the target, including teleportation or outright obliteration. A shot usually brings Superman to his knees. They do 9999 damage in a game where your max HP is 200.

if i did have any decent Photoshop skills, maybe i would consider an attempt. somebody is bound to come up with a decent job that could possibly rival a Maxxvatar any day. like Superman. in a bikini.
holy shit, way too much DBZ for me. i think i need to go destroy a planet with over a billion sentient life forms by doing a golf clap right now. and then pig out on some rice dumplings. yummy.

Batman dodged the omega beam but that’s because is over powered and he doesn’t even have powers.
but, but, but Superman has the Cape of Speeding Bullet +1 equipped already… how, why… Batman “dodged” Omega Beams?! did he have Lapis Lazuli of Luck +99 on his person at the time? o.O

Because when Batman appears in stories with characters who outclass him in mind-boggling ways, the only solution is to give him superpowers and keep insisting that he’s just really well-trained.
Not that this is a bad thing. Can you imagine if they put Batman in a Justice League story and didn’t give him de facto superpowers?
Does anybody really want to see Batman cleaning the supertoilets at the Hall of Justice while everybody else is off adventuring? Even Aqua Man?
Too bad Aqua Man is awesome.

Double chocolate cake?
Or are you one of those red velvet scene kids, like DRD?
He would be unstoppable if he had ANY power. Give him the power to make bubbles, and watch all the villains of Gotham cower in fear.
The power to make rainbows.
Wow this is damn truth right here .On on team full of super powerful folks batman is the equivalent to Jarvis the butler.The fuck is batman supposed to do to stop anybody .Like he is a huge non factor .
Write him to be ready for anything and to have no weaknesses even though he gets like 5 minutes of sleep a day.

I don’t understand what I am looking at. All I see is a robot I mistook for Tom and a bunch of wires.
IIRC in one storyline he had ways planned to kill every member of the JLA.
Joshkaz and I are actually in The Council Against AquaMan Discrimination, or TCAAMD for short.
G00dy better watch his back.

i guess you could, that you guys love seamen
That would be funny if you spelled it semen, you know, like, the correct way. If the joke was that good you wouldn’t have had to italicize it.
You bitch.
