I had the start of some sort of Cold when I recorded my audio for this so apologies that the narration is a bit scuffed and less expressive than usual, hope you all still enjoy :)

The fact that Characters can be imprisoned in, of all things, a rice cooker (no joke) alone, is a testament to the magical shenanigans of Dragon Ball

Making Gohan a magic user to defend the Earth would have been a nice work around to the whole Pacifist and bookworm aspects

Mr. Popo is such an enigma when you think about it. What even is he? He's not a former mortal like Beerus, and has likely been around for longer than Kami and his predecessors. He has absurd magical abilities. Mr. Popo might be some sort of primordial being.

This is why Piccolo should have been a magic user. A long time ago they had him acknowledge that he could never keep up with the saiyans in terms of ki(even though this has now been retconned) so why not give him something else? Make him specialize in magic and take him back to his roots by making him the Demon King again.

I’d say Metamoran and Potara Fusion could also be considered magical in nature. Though, I’d consider Potara as more magical as it is naturally a divine power and may provide unique abilities to the user beyond an insane power boost. Vegito was able to keep his power and mind after being turned into a piece of candy by Buu (a thing with no organs, brain, eyes, nose, mouth or flesh and bones in general; it’s not a living thing, but Vegito acted like nothing major happened at all, he could still see, communicate and fight Buu with little to no effort). Some would say that because he was just insanely stronger than Buu, it didn’t work as planned, but it’s stated that it was unique to him (Vegito being the first mortal Potara Fusion in the series, so there wasn’t anyone like him to make such a comparison beyond Elder Kai or Fused Supreme Kai) and it may have less to do with his power and more to do with his nature as a being formed by magical divine earrings. Since the divine would be magical in nature and therefore unnatural to us, using logic for Vegito’s feat isn’t really possible beyond saying, “It’s just a unique ability he has mortals don’t possess”.

8:10 This also explains why the Mafuba in particular is VERY deadly for a weaker soul to use (ex: Classic DB Roshi). It wasn't built with mortal bodies in mind and thus, it has no power output cap.

This entire video is exactly what i was thinking. Also it might explain the "i can't make shenron do this because it surpasses the creators power", because many people assume they are talking about their battle power when disscusin this when in reality they're taking about another different type of power that namekians posses.

When you think about it magic in db is done really well because no matter the power levels magic still has the obscurity and aura of defeating things that conventional means wouldn’t

[QuintonDale-wdro]

I love that someone is finally pointing out how busted and overpowered all godly or sealing techniques are and that not just raw power can make it through all of dragon ball

[gokan]

Your narration, writing and explanations is too good and top tier my guy

Shadow dragon's negative energy seems to be the negative version of magic. Also yurin and Fortuneteller baba use witch magic. Yurin directly learned her's from a witch. Also we have seen characters resist magic with their ki (Vegeta does it in the Buu saga.).

[johnsmith]

Here's something to ponder. Why does Earth have a god system?
Earth is seen by most in space as a mostly worthless back water planet.
Yet it's among the few to have someone appointed and blessed with divine ki to become a guardian. It has beings born from the other world that come to act as gods. Korin the cat who can somehow grow beans that seem to exist bo where else that instantly heal the worst injuries.
Popo who can do some wild magical acts. The Devil man who can kill a fighter with the slightest impurity in the heart. Earth having it's own personal hell. Baba who can view the future, is immortal and can freely pass into the realm of the dead then revive someone for one day with help from Yama, magical eternal flames summoned by a wizard.
What makes this insignificant planet so different from the rest?

Toryama will watch this and be like "Wow, im learning so much about Dragonball!"

[Vashkey]

16:40 not a great plan seeing as absorbtion has shown to change Buu's temperment and allegiance. He could just as easily turn on universe 7 as a result not to mention theres no guarantee that after the tournament he'd willingly eject those he absorbed after the resulting personality shift

[Ben-mtjy]

Honestly banger video, seems like it'd have a huge budget but I was genuinely surprised when I saw the view count, this channel needs more attention

Time manipulation is a bit of a weird one because we have seen it being done by magical means and technological means and within the magical means that’s even subdivided into multi-types. You have the magic rings that allow for both backwards and forward movement in time with seemingly no limit while also having the Angels magic that is a limited time reversal of only a few minutes. But then you have someone like Goldo who can stop time by holding his breath. I recall that he was described as having strong psychic powers but was that just magic? It is limited to his ability to hold his breath so it’s hard to say.

[slipperynickels]

interesting roshi theory, but in early dragonball he just outright states he drank from the fountain of youth to achieve (near-)imperviousness to aging. still magic, but it’s explained. he also opines about no longer being that strong. the ToP was just… unearned, to say the least.

Your hindu ideology is more refined then other hindus here kudos for bring this up and it really fits well with dragon ball lore 🙌💯🤌
