I don't think Goku is capable of holding more than a single thought at a time. So of course there won't be any negative ones floating around in there.

2025-09-09 19:26:52 +0000 UTC18:32 The detail of "nobody having ever gotten past Bandages the Mummy" is something that's only in the anime, so he wasn't necessarily meant to be the "strongest" of Baba's fighters. Though I suppose one could argue Baba would save Spike the Devilman for last because his Devilmite Beam is just that dangerous.

2025-09-09 19:17:42 +0000 UTCBTW that whole bit with Goku being restrained by Bandages' .... well, bandages, was all padding lol. In the manga Goku just gets right back up and one shots the mummy. Same with the part where Goku's dangling on the bridge during his fight with Devilman.

2025-09-09 19:01:10 +0000 UTCIn DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Spike the Devilman is a playable character and his ultimate move is his Devilmite Beam, and it’s one of the most elaborate moves in the game. The devs made it so that the Devilmite Beam deals damage proportionate to how “malicious” a character is. Pure heart characters such as Goku, Chi Chi, Arale, Android 8, Goten, and Nam will take no damage at all. Pure evil characters such as Janemba, Hirudegarn, Pure Evil Buu, and Spike the Devilman himself will take very severe damage. But what makes this detail truly interesting is the characters who fall in the “gray area” of the scale. To give a few examples: - Any Saiyans who are in the Super Saiyan form will end up taking more damage from the Devilmite Beam than their base forms, and that includes Goku. - Kid Gohan takes minor damage while Kid Goku doesn’t. Perhaps a reference to Gohan’s explosive anger, or maybe because Gohan was a bit more spoiled than Kid Goku. - Great Saiyaman 1 and 2 take less damage from the Devilmite Beam than Adult Gohan and Videl. Implying that they just happen to be feeling less “malicious” when they’re putting on their personas. If ya want to observe just how the entire roster measures, someone took the courtesy of testing it out here: https://youtu.be/NN0RH6pJYD8?si=Fm1zjJxjLenjCgmF I’m fully expecting DB Sparking Zero to receive an OGDB DLC pack at some point, but I’m highly doubtful that Devilman is gonna make it in. I just couldn’t imagine the devs wanting to undertake the same level of detail for an even bigger roster. I guess they could narrow things down by just making the Devilmite Beam take off a fixed percentage of HP for characters who would be considered impure.

2025-09-09 19:00:56 +0000 UTCSpike the Devil Man (aka Devilman in the sub and simply “Devil” in the manga) is one of the most underrated fighters within the franchise. Like Monster Carrot and his “carrot touch”, he’s not the most impressive in terms of raw power, but his Devilmite Beam is a technique that would theoretically defeat the likes of some of the most powerful characters under the right conditions. You know damn well it would be able to obliterate Frieza, Cell, Buu, and Zamasu. It might even be able to take out powerhouses such as Jiren or Beerus if it lands when they’re having “impure” thoughts.
