Hello and welcome back all my dragon ball theorist there are a lot of ways to get stronger
in Dragon Ball and wanted to start analyzing some of these legendary methods of training,
to increase your power.
To dive deep into how effective these training methods were and debunk some common misconception
along the way.
What better than to start off with the Legendary magical sword itself, the Z
sword.
Many questions surround this item because one thing we like to do in Dragon Ball is
find out how strong our beloved characters are and how do they stack up to other powerful
characters.
So what better than to find out just how incredible a feat of strength it is, to not just be able
to pick up this super heavy sword but to also train with it.
We learn in Dragon Ball Super Manga chapter 16 that the reason Trunks got so strong in
the future is because he also had the opportunity to train with the Z sword in preparation of
stopping Bobbidi from resurrecting Buu.
The one difference is well... the Old Kai was never released from the sword and so Trunks
never got his power unlocked.
However he was able to significantly increase his power and defeat Debura just from his
training with the Z sword on the Kai world.
Gohan had limited time to train with the sword and then it was broken, however Trunks had
far longer to train and actually got to use the Z sword in battle.
So there is more to this sword then just some Old Kai, Since it was long believed he was
the true source of it's power.
In a way yes and no.
He definitely was the magical aspect of it, possessing
magic to unlock fighters hidden potential.
However when Lord Beerus sealed away the Old Kai millions of years ago in a dispute at
a meeting.
He made sure that it was no easy task to break the seal
and you had to possess far more power than the Kai's had to do so.
Which is why the Z sword remained as a sword of Legend stuck into the Z plateu for 75 million
years.
Now lets get into the fun parts.
There are a few important feats of strength going on with the Z sword, which is what brought
you into this video.
The most important one that I want to mention first
since it isn't just heavily overlooked, but it is also one of the most impressive lifting
feats that we have seen in Dragon Ball.
Actually removing the Z sword for the first time breaking it free from
it's resting location for millions of years.
The amount of lifting force to do this is far more than what was needed to pick up the
sword itself.
So we will break down just how impressive it was for
Gohan to accomplish this.
Then why being able to train with it is a feat of strength that many powerful characters
across even other continuities would be impressed with and why it makes you so strong.
Gohan decides to attempt to free the Z sword and it is easy to see why no one was able
to remove it for 75 million years.
With a first attempt down and glowing hands from the pain of trying to remove
it.
Gohan needs to go Super Saiyan and attempt it again with everything he has.
Before we get into this attempt though here is where I want to breakdown how impossible
it was to actually free the Z sword.
Here is where we will have to get into some physics, mass and gravity of this impressive
feat.
Gohan stands at 5'8 and with the best shot of the Z sword next to him for scale places
the length of the sword at around 55 inches.
The problem with removing the sword lies in how most of it is
actually embedded into the ground.
Several angles show that as much of 43 inches of this sword is firmly into this material.
Which now it isn't just the overwhelming weight of the sword that is the
issues but actually removing it from the mass it is stuck in.
This mass then has the force of the gravity on the Kai planet gripping the sword as well
as the force Gohan is using with his feat pushing down at it.
Simply put the harder Gohan pulls the more force that is holding onto the sword, making
it a near impossible lifting feat.
To give the best example in real life of this task since we are trying to understand what
really was being lifted in terms of weight.
If anyone has ever had the unfortunate job of removing fence post
from the ground you will appreciate more what Gohan did.
The issues is physics and a 6 foot pole stuck into the ground only 2 feet exponentially
increases the force needed to remove it.
So a fence post weighing only 25 Kg requires a
forces 100 of pounds greater.
Then the farther it is into the ground and how dense that ground is makes this sharply
go up into 1000's of pounds of force.
This is why you see people digging around the post, you have to free it from the mass
holding onto them.
The deeper the object is into the earth the more mass and gravity that is holding it.
It's the only way unless you have heavy machinery or
your a really strong Saiyan.
Now imagine being on the Kai planet and removing the same 25 Kg fence post with most of it
stuck into an unknown material far denser the that of Earth, with 10 times the Earth
gravity.
A lot of variables there and the 10 times gravity isn't
specifically stated just what is assumed.
However this 25 Kg earth object now requires 100's of tons of lifting force to remove it.
We can't calculate it as like I said the density of the material
holding it is unknown but this material itself holds up to Super Saiyan Gohan pulling with
all his might for awhile until enough friction is created to
eventually destroy the ground.
Making a simple 25 Kg object that every human can lift require 1,000's if not 10,000's of
tons of force to accomplish this feat.
With that said we all know the Z sword weighs far more than 25 Kg.
Which is why this feat of strength is so heavily overlooked and why most Super Heroes would
never be worthy of even coming close to freeing the Z sword.
Saiyans are really strong everyone.
Stronger than you can possibly imagine.
As when you scale up to the weight of the Z sword Gohan is actually now moving weight
that is into the millions of tons, the force being lifted is incalculable
at this time.
Now if anyone in the comments wants to expand on my napkin math used to explain these feats
better with numbers, I encourage it!
Just wanted to give an analogy and simple explanation
to get this first point across.
Gohan is relieved once the Z sword is freed and even flying with it after he breaks it
free because it weighs far less then the force needed to accomplish this insane feat.
So how much does this sword weigh?
To begin to figure this out we need Goku, Thanks Goku!
We need him because he has done tons of weight training and need to compare him lifting the
Z sword with his other feats of strength.
When Gohan hands the Z sword to Goku it comes crashing down to the ground demonstrating
the sheer weight of it.
Here we are going to go into one of my favorite debated lifting feats of Goku training
with weight on other-world.
Where somehow it was thought that Goku can only lift 40 tons in his base form, which
is incredibly inaccurate.
The South Kai increases the weight to 40 tons total as we
see 10 tons on each limb.
Except Goku doesn't come crashing to the ground, it's like people forgot about gravity.
While the weight is very heavy on each limb and it is difficult to do his martial
arts with this weight, he is still flying.
If this weight was to heavy he wouldn't be flying and would of crashed into the planet
unable to lift it.
However he can easily lift this weight as he is
able to fly with it.
Then we come to the part where it's unrealistic to think this is Earth's gravity.
While the specific gravity isn't stated this part of other-world where fighters are training
is extremely similar to the Kai planet.
If it obeys the same laws of 10 times Earth's gravity than obviously Goku is flying with
400 tons.
Not just lifting it.
Which brings us to the fact that since this weight is attached
to his arms it is incredible that he can even eventually punch with it.
If you are a power lifter it isn't that hard to lift 400 or 500 of pounds off the ground
but even trying to punch with 30 pounds on your arms is near impossible because of
gravity and motion.
Newton's 3 laws of Motion states, Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in
that state of motion unless an external force acts on it, Force equals mass times acceleration.
Simply put when Goku only has 20 tons on each arm before
it was increased to 100 tons.
When he is punching Goku is accelerating 20 tons to incredible speeds then has to exert
a force equal to stopping 20 tons moving at these speeds.
Remember its 20 tons times the speed.
To give you an idea 20 tons times 100 mph equals yea... you are starting to get the
picture.
So the faster Goku punches increases the weight exponentially to stop the forward momentum
of the 20 tons.
Obviously Goku is punching much faster than 100 mph.
This is why when large asteroids hit Earth they cause catastrophic disasters.
In other words if Goku punched the Earth with this weight he would cause and extinction
level event.
That is how much force is being used and hopefully this eliminates any nay sayers to Goku can
only lift 40 tons.
Saiyans are a lot stronger than you think.
So how much does the Z sword weigh?
I can't come up with an exact number we can only make a direct comparison with Goku training
with weights on his arms as it is directly close to being handed the
Z sword from Gohan.
Weight at the end of his arms vs Z sword in his outreached arms.
Since Goku is training with 40 tons combined from both arms the Z sword is well beyond
that weight.
It wasn't until the weight was increased to 200 tons
total in his arms that he couldn't lift them but still was able to fly with now 400 tons.
Goku shocked by the weight of the sword it crashed into the ground
and it wasn't until he puts all of his body weight behind it, he actually can lift it
and start swinging the sword.
He isn't flying with this thing either.
He is on the ground trying to get a handle of it's impressive weight.
If Goku can fly with 400 tons and he is struggling to swing the Z sword on the ground I think
you know where this is going.
Yes the Z sword is incredibly heavy.
It is a weight that can only be estimated at this time where with what was said previously
at least being over 400 tons.
Unfortunately the math and physics get to numbers that I need Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson
to figure out.
Also we don't have all the information.
However most of these examples are just to point out that our Saiyans can indeed lift
millions of tons when needed in their transformations.
Now we realize just how impressive it is to train in these methods with these weights.
Remember swinging a sword that weighs 100's of tons requires far more
strength to also control the speed at which you are swinging it.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
This is why training with the Z sword is so effective to increasing your power.
Kibito who is shocked at Goku using the Z sword for the first time states that he does
this without any training but little did he know that Goku has done this
training before.
The first time Goku went to King Kai's planet part of his basic training was being able
to hit the elusive Gregory with a Super Heavy Weapon.
This type of weight training under heavy gravity has been used time and time again to push
our Saiyans to new heights.
So in the future timeline while Trunks was able to master use of the Z sword his power
increased dramatically allowing him to defeat Debura which was a challenge for Gohan.
This is why Future Trunks got so strong.
Even without help from the Old Kai this type of training would be beneficial for anyone
that is strong enough to do it.
This is why King Kai uses this method.
This is why the Z sword training is so incredibly powerful.
Also why Whis continues to use weight training as a foundation to help Goku and Vegeta ascend
to the world beyond.
Now let me know what are your thoughts of our beloved Saiyans, Did you realize how strong
they really are?
Or were Saiyans Stronger than you think?
Hope everyone has an amazing rest of the weekend.
