The old fork in the eye - Page 2

**LegendarySSJ7** · 09-13-2008

I suppose it would depend upon the speed at which the fork is going and the opening. Remember that lesser combatants have managed to find windows of openings (albeit limited ones) where they can send their superior opponents away and reeling in pain, but it isn't pain so much as it is a brief opening. In Dragonball, sometimes the friction of the attack and the gait of it matters largely, as resulting effects like smoke are rather created from friction instead of heat production. From what I can garner, Goku's eyes aren't invincible (hence why Goku was able to do what he did to Oozaru Vegeta, and Goku was in critical condition in light of that), so I don't think it would be inane to say that a "the old fork in the eye" could work, even if Son Goku doled out bullets at point-blank range in early Dragonball.

Well, if
1. Goku is sleaping in the big area (optional)
2. Someone crazy like vegeta, picolo or krilin wants to do a joke to him
3. The size/weight of rock or silmilar thing is too big, and the throw it to face,

That would hurt

. What next no1 knows...

If SSJ3 Goku's guard is down, it can possibly do a lot of damage to him. Just look at how Krillin in the Freeza saga could blast a hole through Vegeta who fought on on the same level as 1st form Freeza when his guard was down.

Catching the bullets is down to physical speed and strength. He didn't stop them with his skin, he simply stopped them before they touched him.

Chi Chi is able to hurt Goku many times because he lets her, even though that's for comedy-related purposes I'd say it still counts

That's because Chi Chi gets a shit load of power when she's enraged. FACT.

They have to hit his skin for him to catch them.

Of course it would damage him, just like any attack from a weakling will damage an off-guard opponent. Unless these guys are focusing their ki to use in order to absorb attacks, they're just flesh and bone like anyone else.

Of course, once Goku (or whoever) wakes up, you better run for your life. He's bound to be very upset at you.

Ok. The idea of the question is will his eyes be protected from the fork at all times. Do you think if Goku was just standing there and I forked him it would do damage?

If he wasn't using his ki at all, and somehow didn't see you coming (to be able to make himself impervious to your attack), you should damage him.

And again, you will want to run for your life afterward.

Of course, there's also the possibility that the sudden trauma could cause his body to react with a swift powering-up his ki, which would likely destroy anything near him. So you run that risk.

My point was that the bullets wouldn't have chance to pierce their skin because of where the fighters caught the bullets. They catch them using the side of their fingers, rather than anything else.

Guessing Saiyans are like humans when sleeping (their brain is somewhat shutdown just like our) there is no way a knife or a fork could hurt him even in his base. Well Son Goku base (during Majin Buu arc (considering the SSj3 question)) was well above Freeza's power level, when not suppressing it. We all know a knife wouldn't kill Freeza. And I doubt even Son Goku could suppress his power when sleeping.

There is absolutely no way a fork in the eye would hurt Goku even when he was sleeping. Goku is basically like superman and nothing that weak could hurt him at all.
