It changed how martial artists focus energy fl a degree though historically and traditionally the Chinese and Japanese have already depicted such things in art but not the same way whatsoever.

When they say the name to the move it is a Mantra. They are channeling the energy they have practiced thousands of time and consistently doing it the same way to produce the same effect or even greater due to the situations effect as well. Words have power and the louder and bolder they are said the more power they ring with. You could say the entire energy blast is more from their Mantra than the physical motion due to the words being closing to the energy they are working with than the physical which would be the Mudra but it all works together wholistically to produce the most consistent and largest effect outward from the individual.

in GT: i belive they say that they chant their moves names inorder to make the moves more powerful, sort of like chanting a spell before casting it. i know this isnt canon but its my headcanon lol. also i forgot if you mentioned these in the video but some other cool ki facts: Ki gets stronger when training your mind, when increasing your fighting capabilities such as martial arts, and when physically training your body. you can also learn "ki control" to be able to suppress your own power aswell as increase it to "full power" although roshi dosent use ki control to change his power, he infuses his muscles with his ki making them bigger, raising his overall powerlevel as seen versus tien and oozaru goku, i think this may be similar to that bulked up form of ssj1 and as ive understood it, you can put all of your ki into your leg for an incredible kick such as piccolo used versus frieza, and you can take your ki away from your body/aura to put it around things to make them levitate, or you can spread it around the area as an extension of yourself inorder to properly feel out where for example an opponent is, such as when gohan fought lavender.(this is also similar to when meditating as then you have a simpler time senseing your surroundings.) also if you dont have your ki inside of your body, taking a hit will be detrimental compared to when having it filled with ki. seeing as when goku got blasted in the back by friezas minion when in god form and got hurt really bad, but if he wouldve been for example powering up at that moment, the blast wouldve simply bounced off of his aura. some who lack ki, cant even approach someone who has their ki spread around them as it seems like a brick wall!(source; goku first kamehameha versus jiren, and the filler fight of satans wrestling fighter going after cell) yes i am an incredible DB geek

It’s explained that the saying of the move is to help control it. They have to do the certain hand move ya to bring forth the energy. Ka - The user brings his hands forward and aligns the base of the palms. Me - The hands are brought down to the dominant side of the users body by the waist. Ha - The user draws apart their hands and shape them into a form mimicking holding a sphere. Me - The user draws out the ki they have been moving through their body up to this point to materialize it into their palms Ha - The user aims at their target realigns the base of their palms and pulls back their fingers while pushing forward their arms forcing the energy forward. Obviously they can become good enough to not have to say it but chances are in a fight sometimes you need the extra concentration.
@kieran8266

As someone studying Japanese I have to take small objection to your definition of the word Ki. 気 (ki) is an extremely versatile word, most literally meaning "life," or "energy," but also encompassing the meaning of "spirit," and even "air." It's a very nebulous concept, and the word is used to describe multiple things depending on the context (basically all of Japanese is like this), but most accurately it could be referred to as "life force," or "life energy," not really something so specific as a "willingness to fight." This doesn't only apply to living things, everything that exists has Ki; though it might be more correct to say everything that exists _is_ Ki. Ki can also be used as a word for someone's feelings, mood, or intentions, such as the word 気分 (kibun) which literally means mood or feeling. So, Ki itself doesn't innately take on any kind of attribute. You could say "His ki (mood) is filled with fighting spirit," (he looks ready to fight) or "He is overflowing with Ki" (He looks energetic / filled with energy). While the word Ki obviously has its roots in oriental philosophy, in day to day conversation the word Ki is used very casually to describe these everyday concepts. Obviously Dragon Ball uses Ki much more literally in its "life energy" definition, but even then care must be taken to recognize that in and of itself Ki does not have any innate attributes, and even in the manga / anime is used in a very loose and flexible way to describe many concepts -- the ability to sense an opponent's strength, location, the ability to project energy as ki blasts, and even the ability to manipulate objects with your mind like telekinesis. Just as it is used in everyday Japanese life, the word Ki is used in Dragon Ball as a kind of "catch-all" for anything that could be described as energy. It's important to take a moment to focus on that word "energy," too, because even in English one must recognize that energy is not a physical thing, energy does not exist, it's a word to describe the potential that one thing has to affect another. There is kinetic energy, and there is thermal energy, but there is no true "energy" inside either of these things, the word energy is just used to describe how much "work" can be extracted from a given system, like a rotating wheel, or a heating boiler. From Buddhist perspective, though all these things are distinctively different, they are all unified under a single concept -- energy, or Ki. The force that drives all things in the universe.
@kieran8266
4 жыл бұрын
Regarding the differentiation between things like 元気 (genki) and 神の気 (kami no ki, "energy of gods/spirits"), linguistically it would be fair to say these are just attributes of what is otherwise still the same nebulous Ki. In the case of kami no ki it's a little bit more of a blatant storytelling device, since it's literally just saying "Energy that is owned by/comes from the Gods," however genki is an extremely common and I'd venture even more versatile word than Ki itself. Attempting to literally translate genki wouldn't be very helpful, but the translation for how it is most _often_ used would be "health" or liveliness. However it's _literal_ translation is "origin ki," "ki origin," or "origin of energy." It is the root of all energy, in a sense, the absolute most basic form of life and existence, therefore the most basic form of Ki. The thing is that you can be genki in any attribute of life. You could be physically genki but not mentally genki. Genki can be used as a noun or an adjective, and it can even kind of be used like an adverb if you try hard enough. So you can have genki, you can be genki, and you can do things uh.. genki-ly. Though there is a positive aspect associated with the word genki, it should be noted that much like Eastern philosophy, many words to describe things positively in Japanese actually describe them as "normal," "balanced," or "centered." This is why if your Ki is Gen, i.e. your Ki is in it's Origin where it should be, you are in good health and/or spirit. The 元気玉 (genkidama, literally "genki ball") in Dragon Ball is so-called specifically to illustrate that it's drawing from this pure and ubiquitous form of energy. If Ki is simply energy, then Gen Ki is much more specifically energy that comes from living things. There is nothing to imply that the energy drawn from the genki dama is explicitly different from any other Ki, though we know from the series that the genki dama created on earth holds the thoughts and feelings of all those it came from (which relates fluidly back to Ki's encompassing meanings), there is no evidence to imply that all Ki does not technically exhibit these features -- naturally, it would be assumed that Goku's Ki contains his hopes and wishes just as the genki dama contained that of the people on Earth.
@jdreid323

I think ki at its simplest just comes down to physics. Kinetic energy is the exertion of potential energy, and potential energy is the energy you are capable of using. When people exert effort or an object is in motion, they are using kinetic energy because they are now using the energy they possess in action, and dragon ball is just the overexaggerated version of that. Energy has 3 forms in DB such as physical energy (physical strength, ki blast/release, speed, agility, durability, technique), mental energy (ki suppression, controlling and condensing ki, telekinesis, willpower), and spiritual energy (The alignment your energy is more likely to be used for; for good or malicious intent). Even Hakai and UI are just the individualized version of mental and physical energy. Dragon ball isn't that complex when you realize it's just basic functions thrown out of proportion.

The way I always interpreted the whole ‘ki vs god ki’ thing, is that smaller amounts of god ki can equal higher amounts of ki, so basically it’s more concentrated.

It's definitely interesting how most of us zone out and can't catch the different eastern references in the shows. Here's a few: Most of the Z warriors wore clothing very similar to the Shaolin monks, goku was inspired from the character Sun Wukong, and the whole cast (of dragonball) is on a quest to find the dragonballs (which is just like the story "journey to the west" where people go to India for the Buddhist sutras).

I don't know why people hated the midicholorian thing. I always hear people say that the "midichlorians created the force" or "midichlorians are the force". That isn't what was stated in The Phantom Menace or any Star Wars material. The Force is it's own thing, it's an energy field that binds everything together and has a will of its own. Midichlorians are simply the embassadors that allow for communication and connection between living things and the force. They translate the will of the force to people. They are the middle man or medium that allows Jedi and Sith to connect with and use the force. That's all they are.

It wasn't as obvious of a genetic connection. Like Jesus and god. Son of God yeah. But you wouldn't assume it was genetic powers. I'm indifferent to it tho.

@@DSan-kl2yc But there had to be something that determined if someone was force-sensitive or not. Otherwise anyone could be a force-sensitive and then all of a sudden the Jedi and Sith aren't special anymore. It's also important to note that every living creature has midichlorians to some degree. It's just force-sensitives have many more midichlorians compared to the average living being. And who is to say that the force itself doesn't will certain beings to have more midichlorians, to be force-sensitive for reasons we don't understand? There is still a mystical element to it, it's just the midichlorians expand on the relationship between living things and the force. Having a biological or physical aspect to it doesn't take away from the mystical view of the force in my opinion. To use a Biblical example as you did, remember that the Bible teaches that even in Heaven people are given glorified bodies. So the physical/biological side of things, is still presented in many writings as a necessary part of having a complete existence.

It doesn't matter if Toriyama says politely complementary things about them in public; it isn't like he's going to come out and say "Yeah, those supplementary books are all bullshit advertising that I had absolutely nothing to do with, and were written by people I've never spoken to" because that would hurt sales. The amount of obsessive detail given to those books by Dragon Ball fans is ridiculous. Especially the obsessive measuring of "Power Levels" those books just love to compile (mostly because they are meaningless numbers that can be made up by unpaid interns to fill up a lot of pages.) The entire reason why the concept of "Power Levels" was introduced into the story in the first place was to show that other people's claims of your limitations don't mean anything, that having "low numbers" doesn't mean that you should just give up, and that your supposed limitations can be overcome through skill, intelligence, and determination. That was the entire point behind Power Levels, and yet Dragon Ball fans completely missed the point and started obsessing over the big numbers (an awful tendency that was happily fueled by the publication of those trash daizenshuu, which is one reason why I hate them so much.) So many Dragon Ball fans seem to have not understood the basic meaning of the story, and even worse to have taken the *exact opposite* of the intended lessons from the story. Even the characters in the story who were obsessed with power and rank, like Vegeta, soon realized that Power Levels were meaningless, as was shown when Vegeta threw away his damn scouter... because he knew it was worthless against enemies who actually used skill instead of just raw brute force. (The only reason he took it back was for the communications function.) Vegeta realized that the Earthlings relied on skill and determination rather than raw brute force, and therefore the Scouter readings were useless since they only detected raw Ki power, and raw Ki is only a limited measurement of an opponent's ability to fight, not taking into consideration how *skillfully* an opponent can use his Ki (a lesson Vegeta painfully learned by the beating he took from "lower level" opponents on Earth.) When a person's Scouter measurement can fluctuate between 2 and 180,000 just based on their attitude, then it's not a very useful or reliable measurement of anything (maybe Scouters actually just measure blood pressure? That would be hilarious.) The best example may be Krillin, a normal human with relatively weak Ki reserves in comparison to the supernatural aliens all around him* who learned to rely on *skill and cunning* instead of raw force, and developed a technique to focus his limited Ki reserves into one of the most deadly Ki attacks in the entire series, the Kienzan, which is so deadly that it can cut through the defenses of anyone and the only way to defend against it is to dodge it (stupid anime-only filler notwithstanding; that stupid scene of the Kienzan breaking against Cell's neck wasn't in the manga.)

It's interesting that ki itself can Convert to God Ki through Mastery of oneself. It seems they could have done much more to explain God Ki... we know that is easily much much more potent then Normal Ki.. But they could done so much with it. For example those that utilize God Ki have an easier time manipulating time and space due to the Controlled And Calm Nature of God Ki. now I want to The Godly destruction Energy.. This Advancement of God Ki is More Potent.. the user can easily negate Energy and Can Destroy Spirits.. however it cannot destroy Immortals granted by the Super Dragon Balls... the Omni King however can destroy Immortals granted by the Super Dragon Balls. It's been established that mortals can enter a Enter A God of Destruction Mode.... so it's possible that Vegeta can achieve this through training. Goku and Vegeta can utilize this but have no interest in taking beerus Role.. if anything I think beerus will try to put his duties on them. Now on to the transformation called Ultra instinct.. got the technique Ultra Instinct but the form called Ultra instinct. Whiss in eposode where Goku suffered The Backlash of the Complete Ultra instinct described the Form as the Limit breaking Power of the Gods... Beerus Even Know The Form Through Goku's Sliver Hair and Sliver Eyes.

Cool idea: poor execution. It was only used to boost up Anakin and his bloodline at the expense of nearly 99% of the rest of the galaxy, and served no other purpose in the main plot. If they explained it so that the amount in Anakin was just _growing_ at a much higher rate, then it wouldn’t be such a limiting factor. Which is what I think makes people like Ki and hate Midichlorians; one is potential, the other is a birthright.

You have gotta do a video discussing all the similarities between Dragon Ball and Star Wars If I understand this correctly, Palpatines Force Lightning is the same thing as a Ki blast/wave because it's a physical representation of the Force or Ki in this case. Which means someone could use a Ki blade/sword to combat a lightsaber considering both are made of plasma and require the manipulation of the Force/Ki in order to wield. Unless Disney changed the canon on how lightsabers work lol

Great review as always, but not sure if you heard of popular Wuxia Novels/Film Series by Jin Yong 1955-1972. His stories like dragonball and most shounen manga heavily emphasizes on ki control, martial arts, and character development overtime. Personally, I feel he is like the Chinese founder of the Shounen Genre.

Without clearly enunciating the word you are starting your breakdown videos with “Dragon Ball in Death”. I know it’s nit picky and has a negligible impact on the quality of your content but it’s just so irksome.
