At a certain point, the metaphor breaks down, especially with things that aren't techniques but actual transformations. You could say it pushes power out harder, so that the ki hits harder but straightens the hose out - making it harder to bend as you want it to - though that would really be stretching it.
If you want a cool stress ball trick we could try I just trough of a way to make ourself invisible with solar flash. It's a little bit intense and require we became better with divination, but it's a tecknique we would have to mantain for a long time and would help refine our ki control.
Possibly.
Ah, a definite maybe then. Do any of them immediately strike Kakara as impossible, or redundant with normal ki usage etc.?Possibly.
Nah, transformations are changing the material of the hose.
She would have said any of them were impossible, before Jaffur and Tabe.
There's a perfectly adequate explanation for the Ultimate form, which is that as a side-effect of what it does for your power level, it bulks you up and you become physically musclebound, increasing your mass and decreasing your agility
There are a LOT of one-off boosts and transformations, and I think that trying to construct a 'unified field theory' that explains all of them is more trouble than it's worth.
I think we'd need to first figure out how to transmit ANY kind of image other than just an omnidirectional blast of light using the Solar Flare or related techniques first, THEN try to adapt this.
You appear to have quoted me without saying anything to me?
I meant to say something, but got distracted, and you know what, uuggggh.
yeah the shaping is part of the exercise(it would require doing it step by step before we could use it as anything behind a ki manipulation trainer), also solar flare if I understand it correctly is converting ki to light so I think it's possible to make it so the conversion is instantaneus enough to not be sensed (other exercise added to it, make it fast!)
my little Dragon, Frieindship is Ki-Magic
Ki sense already grants us this, as far as I can tell; we don't really need to be looking at things to sense their ki. One of the first things people learn in Dragonball when learning to sense energy is how to sense energy blindfolded.
Ironically, Ki invisibility would only really work against people who can't sense you, or as a combat technique for melee fighting - you can't dodge/block if you can't see where the fist is. If we want a stealth ability, we should look into Ki Stealth - as in, hiding some/all of your PL from detection. This would obviously also be very useful for Masquerade purposes, and probably be pretty useful in combat if we could hide 100%. If we could either guarantee control over the SSJ2 transformation or put up a temporary ward capable of hiding an SSJ2's PL for a moment and KO whoever hits SSJ2 first as a Spirit Saiyan the instant they break through, then we could break into SSJ2 and just never go higher than SSJ levels without hiding the extra power. (Obviously as the only Spirit Saiyan, we'd have to go last and either control it or get beaten down by 3/4 other SSJ2s.)
if we get good enough on light manipulation we could also create illusion probably, witch could help us in combat, but you are right that it is probably impossible to go fast enough in converting ki to light to not be sensed and at the same time suppress our natural ki. Still as I said the thing wasn't a way to create invisibility, but a useful training exercise witch could potentially be partly applicable in combat situation and in creating new techniques on the fly.
It seems a bit involved though - don't get me wrong, Invisibility would be pretty neat, but this seems like something you'd have to dedicate time and actions to training beyond the initial research, instead of just doing it as you do other stuff. And we already have way too many action-sinks as it is
No... that is exactly what it does. It's first used to let goku know where something is that his eyes can't see. Because Mr. Popo moved faster than he could see.
meh I'm okay with it not being this particular training exercise, I only through of invisibility because of a post in witch I mused that we could hide our chibi dragon with ki and because I would love for kakara to became an illusionist (it would even fit her theme since she wouldn't hurt people directly with her illusions).
Isn't divination different from ki vision? I through there was a difference as there is with magic if not I can't understand why nobody but a seer can learn it.
bwahahahaha! That's just adorable!
