Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Z #42

Last time, on Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Z! You faced Salza of Cooler's Armored Squadron, then helped the new Super Saiyan, Trunks, in his fight against Cooler. Upon noticing a sudden increase in the Frost Demon's power, you and Lapis teleport to the source, Towa, but find yourselves pinned down and helpless against her. With a lucky escape, you next head to Capsule Corp to try and your foes from heading off with their true objective: the Mighty Smoothie. After finding it in the hands of Artificial Human #15, you make a desperate gamble to try and recover it, ending back at Capsule Corp with the Smoothie in hand.

But the battle is far from over at this point...

You work to heal Bulma's injuries, apologizing for heading off immediately. She smiles. "Hey, you got the drink from them, was worth it. Still, I'm going catch up with Gato, I'd rather not get in the line of fire again."

Lapis looks in the opposite direction of the battle with King Cold. Freeza and Vegeta's fight, but they aren't the only ones there now. Seems like there's another presence around, and whoever it is, they're almost as strong as Trunks. That should be good news, but as Lapis notes, "Things are going to get even more difficult. Call it a gut feeling. Towa's not going to like it when she finds out they only have porno mags."

"That was a great idea, by the way, Bulma." you ass with a laugh, helping her up.

"Figured it would work better than filling the Gravity Chamber with yachts. I kinda had to take them from my dad." she admits, then looks away with a slight blush on her face, finger twirling her purple hair. "...and my mom."

Lapis does a double-take as it seems like ANOTHER giant battle starts to take hold, away from Cold and Freeza, and with powers that far surpass both. If anything, the strength of the fighters involved in this new fight seems to eclipse even Towa's power.

Well... shit.

>A. Lapis, let's head back to everyone
>B. We should see what's going on over at the fight with Freeza
>C. That new battle is suspicious, gonna try and see what's going on there
>D. We should figure out how to pass around the Mighty Smoothie...
>E. Something else?

No more 20 only dcs

Scry each battle and decide on which one to intervene on. Then we can use foresight for the best people to boost.

>D. We should figure out how to pass around the Mighty Smoothie

>you ass with a laugh

More 20 DCs, I need at least ONE thing to fap to in this ques-
very good

>D. We should figure out how to pass around the Mighty Smoothie...
Break out the shot glasses and pass around the double power levels to our ten strongest fighters, including Trunks. I assume it comes with a sensu bean effect as well.

>D. We should figure out how to pass around the Mighty Smoothie...

>E. Go fuse with Chi-Chi, then drink some of the smoothie to see what happens

>E. What was that about your- Oh FINE, we'll go and repel the invaders, sheesh!

If this one goes as well as we'd hope, us and Chi-Chi would each get a power boost with only needing to drink one half as much.

I doubt we'd get the full effect, the fusion is more than the sum of its parts anyway right? A doubling when fused should be a 50 percent increase for each.

Would doubling Trip's power be helpful in her support skills?

Depends on how merciful Kato's feeling today with creative thinking.

Shit man, I don't know, that's never really been made clear.

Probably, but I doubt it'd be worth it.

If the fusion is more than the sum of its parts, then that means there's plenty of smoothie power for the both of us left over.

I *think* her best powers aren't really ki based

Nah, the reverse is that the division is less than its total. I don't think we can cheat it that way.

Or maybe something weird would happen, like the fusion getting a superior boost but that doesn't pass much down to our core power levels.

Whoever these massive power levels are, let's figure out which is on our side and give them a smoothie shot.

Okay, let's look at it this way:
e = Energy
M = Maple
C = Chi

e = MC^2
2e = 2(MC^2)
2e/2C^2 = 2M

We will each have twice the amount of Ki from drinking one smoothie when separated again.

>>D. We should figure out how to pass around the Mighty Smoothie...

Do you have a response to ?

You blink at Bulma. "...your mom has a-" You shake your head. No. Focus, Maple. "Well... let me check out what's all going on here, because this could be a good thing or a bad one..."

You focus on the battle with King Cold first. Everyone seems like they've taken a beating, might be down to one or two Senzus. Trunks and Acer seem to have a plan figured out. Goku... he seems like he's struggled more than he ever has in his life, but there seems to be excitement in his mind over this.

youtube.com/watch?v=NxrlpCZSFGc

You next focus on the battle with Freeza. There's Vegeta, and looks like Nappa transformed, but he's out cold. Mark seems to be fighting someone as Spike is chased by two fighters. But... wait, who the hell? It's... a girl, wearing a Capsule Corp jacket like Trunks, looks like she even has the same kind of sword he does, and if that spiky blonde hair is any indication...

Last but definitely not least... well, that's obvious. The blue guy with Towa. Mira. But this presence facing him. You've felt it before, just never so... intensely. That pink woman who's shown up time and again. Buula. Gods, was she really hiding this kind of strength the whole time? Well, she's at least not on Towa's side, and she's not alone in fighting Mira.

If you wanted, you might be able to pass around the smoothie to all your friends for the smaller but overall better boost, or you could have people chug some of it...

"Got a plan, Maple?" Lapis questions.

>A. Bulma, get some shot glasses out, we're gonna give as many people a boost as we can offer
>B. Lapis, try to bring our friends back here
>C. I'm gonna investigate more on whoever is helping Vegeta
>D. I'm contacting Buula
>E. Drink some of the smoothie yourself
>F. Something else?

It wouldn't boost them significantly, but it might be a good idea.

>A. Bulma, get some shot glasses out, we're gonna give as many people a boost as we can offer
Everyone is nearly holding their own. Doubling that should be plenty.

Now then, we must list our ten.

>F. See if these "twins" are going to accidentally hit on each other

>C. I'm gonna investigate more on whoever is helping Vegeta

>A. Bulma, get some shot glasses out, we're gonna give as many people a boost as we can offer
>E. Drink some of the smoothie yourself

Can we have a doubleshot and take Vegetas share?

Well, anyone who can fuse should take the smoothie while fused if they can, since the formula in ensures they'll keep the power when unfused.

You're funny.

Does this mean that Einstein was a tuffle?

Why would it not work that way?

>A. Bulma, get some shot glasses out, we're gonna give as many people a boost as we can offer

We can figure out how to apportion the smoothie, as well as how much Maple should drink.

When has dragonball anything ever been tethered to logic?

youtu.be/tIZGSXjco8g?t=472

...

Eh, a better punchline to this would be you going out of your way to screw us over on actually finding a loophole to the smoothie thing for no reason at all, can't wait to see it from you.

...

Because you don't make a decent fission bomb out of Carbon isotopes.

Okay folks, pick 10 fighters out of:
>Maple
>Goku
>Acer
>Chi-chi
>Yamcha
>Lapis
>Lazuli
>Chuu Lee
>Trunks
>Vegeta
>Nappa
>Hercule
>Spike
>The girl from the future
>Peppa
>Gohan
>Izzy
>Pantea
>Videl
>Trip

No, we have not decided if we wish to do 10 yet.

>Because you don't make a decent fission bomb out of Carbon isotopes.
We are not a fission bomb as Machi, we're a river, and if you spike the river, it will split off into two equally spiked rivers.

>Yamcha
>Vegeta
>Hercule
>Maple
>Goku
>Acer
>Chi-chi
>Lapis
>Lazuli

>>Maple
>>Goku
>>Acer
>>Chi-chi
>>Yamcha
>>Lapis
>>Lazuli
>>Chuu Lee
>>Trip
>>Maple again

Maple
Acer
Chi-Chi
Yamcha
Lapis
Lazuli
Trunks
Trip
Chun Lee

>Machi for now, get the others to fuse if they are able and reevaluate from there.

As far as I see it, the fruit of the tree of might and all products from it shouldn't GIVE a variable increase, but rather a set increase. The fruit only has so much energy to increase someone with.
Let's say the fruit is worth a powerlevel of 20,000. Mr. thompson, of pl 10, stumbles across the fruit and eats it. His powerlevel should now be 20,010.

Similarly, autistic training monkey of powerlevel 1,000,000,000 eats one. The autist should now have 1,000,020,000.

The fruit only has so much to give, and its clearly an ideal way of bumping up inferior beings by a massive amount. It's going to do very little for the already mighty.

What about Raditz?

>Get Goku and Raditz to fuse THEN give them some of the smoothie.

Fuck! Sorry!

Raditz is an option too.

Kato, please stop being difficult over this. We found a way to game the system, so please allow us do it?

Maple
Trip
Chichi
Acer
Yamcha
Lapis
Lazuli
Raditz
Spike
Mr. Roshi

>Maple
>Goku
>Acer
>Chi-chi
>Yamcha
>Chuu Lee

>Chuu Lee
>Trunks
>Vegeta
>Bra

Kato's in the right. Don't whine.

You do realize it would only be 1.5x boost rather than 2x boost right?

Kato is not in the right by any logic, two river joining together is the concept of fusion that's been explained to us, if the smoothie enters that river, the river's twice as powerful, and then the river will split off into two twice as powerful rivers from one smoothie.

Show your work, please?

The river is split back in two though, smoothie is dilluted.

Get your assblasted ass less blasted or get your ass out

Repeat after me: power levels are BULLSHIT

This user is right.
Multiplying makes no sense.
Set increases do.

Well, that's a point, are the rivers that split off smaller, or the same size?

That doesn't really challenge the argument being made and is therefore a waste of time to bother with.

They may be bullshit, but I believe in them.

To follow your analogy.

The two rivers joining together would be twice the size of a 'normal river'. The smoothie enters that river and diffuses twice as thin as it would in a normal river. The large river does not become twice as powerful

Well, it's a bit late for that, as post facto an argument as the guy who started bitching about Raio-ken like 50 threads after it was introduced, so let's focus on how much we'll get out of the multiplier effect.

Raditz
Goku
Maple
Acer
Chichi
Trunks
Vegeta
Bra
Chu Lee
Hercule

It's one vessel as large as any other, but splits off into two smaller ones. With this logic, we would each be 4 times stronger unfused from a dose that would make fusion 2 times stronger.

We are dealing with a dilution formula, not a simple multiplication formula. This is like an antifreeze problem.

>Only I voted for spike
Poor spike. He's never going to experience the most delectable drink in the multiverse. Kai and makai really love the fruit, probably.

>Maple
>Goku
>Acer
>Chi-chi
>Yamcha
>Raditz
>Vegeta
>Trunks
>Bra
>Chuu Lee

I don't even know who the hell spike is.

Your dilution formula is using a vessel that is the same size as a normal vessel, which splits off two ways. If the two ways are equal in size to the vessel, they would dilute, yes, but if they are smaller, then they would keep the power.

Spike the devilman.
He has a technique that can instantly kill creatures with negative thoughts.

>Maple
>Acer
>Maple
>Acer
>Maple
>Acer
>Maple
>Acer
>Maple
>Acer

The issue is that Machi's power level is 3,725,000
while Chi chi's and Maple's Power level is 1,490,000.
It's not a simple matter of 2x power.

>Maple
>Goku
>Acer
>Chi-chi
>Yamcha
>Chuu Lee
>Trunks
>Vegeta
>The girl from the future
>extra vote against all the joke suggestions. Bra, roshi, seriously?

Raditz
Goku
Maple
Acer
Chichi
Trunks
Bra
Chuu Lee
Vegeta
Yamcha

>Trunks
>The girl from the future
Their mother is the one who made it.

This is a good point, even if it isn't actually "their" mom.

>Implying roshi is a joke suggestion
Did you SEE at nigga in resurrection F?
Roshi with a smoothie could annihilate the mooks in a heartbeat.

I remember in Space Monkeys this one time where a Metamoran drank beer to get drunk before splitting apart, and then split apart into two drunk guys.

I don't think it's canon here. In any case, he isn't fighting here and now, which is the whole point of this.

>Roshi being a badass isn't canon here

Supporting, whoever drinks the smoothie from our time will feel like they cheaped out on their power increase comparatively.

>Trunks
>Bra
This is a good way to use up the smoothie without buffing someone else over us next tournament season.

I think we shouldn't offer it to vegeta, he'd probably just be insulted and blast it away

>13 different lists or 'I support this list' posts
>only 10 posters in thread besides Kato
>gee whiz guys I wonder if people are voting twice

I wasn't going to offer it to Vegeta anyway, he's a huge liability to us and ours.

What's weird about submitting lists and supporting others?

Voting closed.

>Maple
>Maple again
>Maple once more
>Maple yet another time
>Maple keepin' on at it
>Maple not stoppin' 'til the last drop
>Maple hittin' the bottle
>Maple gulping it down
>Acer takes one to cool off
>Maple shakes the last of it down her gullet

I wonder how good Acer's moustache has gotten over the years?

Probably makes his face worthy of sitting on.

If I'm reading this right, choices are:

>Maple
>Goku
>Acer
>Raditz
>Chi-chi
>Yamcha
>Chuu Lee
>Trunks
>Vegeta
>The girl from the future

Writing...

Can we vote on who to eliminate from this line-up, cuz I choose
>Maple
>Chuu Lee
>Vegeta
>Goku
>Raditz
seeing as how they've all already had a fruit.

Pardon me, I also excluded Vegeta because I don't trust him in the least.

>Vegeta made the list

*groaning intensifies*

I say we give it to him purely to be the better person. Vegeta's salt needs to be washed down with something.

If vegeta refuses (he might) save it for trip

strawpoll.me/10810024

I say we don't give it to him because we still have a family to raise and we don't need convicts coming after our head who are also stronger than us.
