    It seems pretty clear that Piccolo was being exhausted faster than he could deal sufficient damage. Though he definitely had a better chance of winning against 17 than Vegeta did against 18.

      Stamina isn't consistent in DB. For all we know Piccolo could have had enough gas to handle both androids. Look at Goku vs. Frieza, then compare it to basically any fight afterward where sometimes the fighters go for minutes before gassing out or hours for the next.

    Aside from the fight between Piccolo and 17, it almost started to seem like they were becoming rivals instead of enemies. In fact, I actually like how Piccolo and 17 call a sort of truce after Cell shows up. Piccolo even alters his plan outright and instead just tells 17 to run for it. And after Piccolo uses his Light Grenade on Cell, 18 actually seems happy with the result. Also, in the anime, when Cell nearly kills Piccolo, 17 actually says "Piccolo...no!", as though he were sorry to see him go.
    I don't know, it just seemed to me like Piccolo was quickly earning the respect of the androids up until Cell showed up. MAYBE THEY COULD HAVE BEEN BROS

    If the fight had dragged on, 17 would have outlasted Piccolo and eventually finished him off. However, Piccolo is smarter than that and if he would have found a way to hit 17 with the Light Grenade it would have definitely obliterated the android, even if 18 stepped in. As you said though, it's likely that 16 would have done something to save them. Really great analysis for one of the top 5 best fights in the series. 👍

      Dude yea, it's soooo epic. That white flame aura around Piccolo with his back turned is one of the most badass panels in Dragon Ball. He was stronger than every Saiyan at that point. If only he would've challenged 18 instead, then Cell would've been screwed, Piccolo was quite a bit above 17 but not a lot, he was way over 18. She mentioned stepping in to finish the job if 17 couldn't so it's hard to say if even the androids themselves knew who was stronger, they didn't have scanners like 16.

    Piccolo statement about 17's lack of power and his amazing speed seemed to me it was just to make clear about how focused on speed 17 was, while Piccolo was more on the raw power and technique side.
    I don't know if light grenade could kill 17, first because it seems to take some time to charge it up, second cuz 17 is kinda fast, third because I don't know if that could break the barrier and 17 natural defense all together.

    Prewatch: I think piccolo would have done major damage to 17 with light grenade, but I think 17 would survive and outlast him, 9-10, high diff
    Edit: I think the androids cannot compress ki/energy. They can mould it into different shapes for attacks and barriers, but they cannot compress it into higher levels of strength.
    Ex. If both of them have a power output of 10 at base, then 17 cannot output more than 10 even though he can infinitely output that 10. Piccolo could use a technique which compresses the ki in a unique way that increases its output. Let's say special beam cannon compresses the ki 2x. Then his max output is 20 while 17 is stuck at 10. Although techniques are much more draining as compressing ki seems to be more difficult than just moulding ki. That would be why so many people use the Kamehameha, as it has a specific pattern for them to follow for compressing the ki

    Piccolo would have won, agreed. The light grenade would have vaporized 17, barrier shield or not, the end result would have been the same. This is made clear when Piccolo launches the attack and we see 17 running away from it + 18 surprised by the brute force of that special move. In fact, without his bubble, I am pretty sure Piccolo's hellzone grenade would have nuked 17 in that very moment. This scenario is also without considering the fact that a powered up special beam canon = would pretty much single shot 17, hands down, but only if Piccolo can actually hit his target.

Also doubt either 18 or 16 would step in to save 17. 16 only step in to fight Cell because he knew if Cell fused he would destroy everything, and 16 appreciated the world despite being a robot. 16 fought to prevent the world from being destroyed, not to exactly save 17 and 18.

    So, not exactly on the topic of the video, but I’ve been watching the Android saga again, and I noticed a bit of proof of something you’ve talked about, how their auras serve a defensive purpose. During the fight between SSJ Vegeta and 18, Vegeta chases her down a highway and for a moment stands in the road to track her next move. A car is coming, and you get a nice side shot of Vegeta expanding his aura in preparation to fly after her, and it’s clearly animated that the car hits his aura and explodes well before it comes anywhere near his body. I thought that was pretty nicely illustrated there. Poor dude in the car probably didn’t get wished back on the Dragon Balls though, lol.

    Since #18 can't sense energy, I don't think she'd step in either until the last moment when it'd be too late. #16 could and probably would save him but I think he's fair enough to convince #17 afterward that he lost as that attack would've killed him, they should acknowledge Piccolo as the winner, and leave to find Goku the long way.

    I personally believe that if Piccolo had used the Special Beam Cannon with a full charge (as seen in Super during his battle with Frost) the beam would be penetrated 17's Barrier and killed him on the spot, as for The Light Grenade... if 17 had been hit by that then and only then would 16 and 18 be jumping into the fight to save 17 if he was still alive following the blast.

    @StareachValcin Před rokem +1

    Piccolo versus Android 17 is one of the most even fights in the series. Even before the fight, Android 16 states that Piccolo fusing with Kami is on par with Android 17, when detecting Piccolo's first fight with Cell, but 17 just refuses to believe it. When 17 is about to fight Piccolo again he underestimates him because of how easily he beat Piccolo in their first fight. Underestimating Piccolo led to 17 having a bad start in their rematch. After taking the fight seriously, both Piccolo and 17 are shown to be evenly matched. However, when it comes to the androids, the best way to beat them is to be significantly stronger than them, and the fight with Piccolo and 17 best showcases that. I would argue that Piccolo was the better fighter, but because Piccolo has roughly the same level of power as 17, stamina is an important factor in the fight, and Piccolo is already aware that he can't waste too much energy when fighting androids like 17. While the light grenade was shown to be a powerful attack, I am not sure Piccolo would have used that technique unless it was a last resort because he can't afford to waste energy. I honestly think that had Cell not interfered, 17 might have been able to defeat Piccolo if the fight dragged on too long.

    Piccolo would change his strategy and try to hit him with a Light Grenade. He could use the Zanzoken like he did against Frost recently to buy time and confuse him. Knowing how stupid and confident 17 was back then he would fall into the trap or simply try to take it just as Perfect Cell did against Vegeta's Final Flash.

    I've already seen this video a while back but I've watched it again. This definitely one of the best fights of the show hands down, because at this point in the series we don't know that much about 17 as much as Piccolo, being one of the protagonists at this point, although he still had that anti-hero personality of his in the arc, before his that Kami fusion balanced out when they reunited. We got to see Piccolo finally bust out all these moves and blasts that he's never really had to use seeing as Goku was the earth's hero and Piccolo only shows up to help defend it (and protect Gohan) a common trope of his even in the movies. Piccolo gets the W here.

    Yeah. Exactly what I was thinking. Well, I thought the Light Grenade would only work as long as 17 didn't put up his barrier, but perhaps even with that, the Light Grenade would've vaporized 17. That, or the Special Beam Cannon. Only issue is that both of those attacks take a significant amount of time to dodge and it would be very difficult for Piccolo to find an opening before he tired out since he and 17 are even in strength. So it's a tough call, but Piccolo's pretty smart, he could probably figure something out.

  • @lethaltalon2493
    @lethaltalon2493 Před rokem +1

    Piccolo wins, but just barley.
    Although 17 has infinite energy, that doesn't protect him from the damage he takes. If damage is in abundance then it renders 17 helpless. This is proven by Cell (when he beats 17 before he absorbs him) and Future Trunks (beating the androids).
    Piccolo being slightly stronger makes the difference, and after being burnt out, he still had the power output to destroy 17 with the Light grenade.
    If I had to guess, Piccolo wanted to inflict as much damage as possible to 17 and to force him to use any "ace in the holes" w/o revealing his.
    With that in consideration he would take an opening that 17 gave him. If 17 presents that opportunity is the problem; however, Piccolo has two moves that raise his power level significantly to destroy 17 or to cause great damage immobilizing 17 to do a killing blow.
    The drawback is they take a bit to charge which is why Piccolo needs 17 to make a mistake in order to get the full effect of the techniques.

    I don't think the stamina question is that clear cut. 17 won't ever get tired, but Piccolo has the advantage of being able to regenerate any injuries suffered during the fight.
