Senzu Beans are WEIRD

So how do Senzu beans actually work in Dragon Ball Z?

The idea of Future Gohan suddenly gaining an arm back again like how Piccolo does is really funny

[MsSarcasticity]

Yajirobe started crossbreeding the beans with his weed and improved the powers

And the "limited" stock is only when the plot demands it.

The weirdest part about them is that there's a whole plant of them, Karin has barrels filled with Senzu, even Yamcha and Krillin bring a bag full of these to the World Tournament, but then when they actually need one there seems to be a sudden, punctual and completely convenient shortage of them

It’s probably the same logic with zuko’s scar.
Healing water can’t heal it because it’s technically not a wound anymore. It’s more of a disfigurement than a wound.

[lol_vevo]

The fact that it can fully replenish the energy of any fighter even if they're way past god of destruction levels implies one senzu has enough energy to destroy a universe

[saladbruh]

I still can't forget how Yajirobe ate a whole pot of Sensu Beans once, enough to keep the gang healed for the whole DBZ series lol

[skaffatar]

I never understood why Bulma didn't make a mechanical arm for him. That would be so fucking cool

[ivanbluecool]

The food aspect to it is perfect to keep a saiyan filled long enough to train.

The arm growing back lile yamchas body would be interesting to see more often

A scar means the wound is already healed, by your own body. So a senzu won't register it as "needs healing"

[J-Editing]

Basically, it does what the writers want, lol.

[NPixel]

The idea that Senzu beans can regrow entire limbs but cant cure fatal illnesses is hilarious.

[megasean]

Maybe there was merit to Ocean dub’s Tien yelling “You just wait ‘til it grows back!” after Nappa punched his arm off.

[my_goodman]

I remember wondering why the fighters couldn't just take a bag of senzu beans with them to a fight and keep popping them until their enemy was worn out...

When u never place limits on a narrative device when initially establishing it, u can push it as far as u want in the future. I see what u did there Toriyama

[thecrazycapn]

Yajirobe is the biggest villain in Dragon Ball, as he moved into the tower and ate all the senzu beans.

[Iateyourpizza-pqft]

When you really know how senzu works, they would be so helpful in real life situations 😅

[theultimatebob]

Toriyama has way too many random convenient plot devices lol

[prxnce]

What an incredibly nostalgic sound track
