It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

OK, in the DBZ Manga when Piccolo launches an attack at Cell that levels half the island (this occurs right before #17 is absorbed) Cell comes out of the water unphased and hits Piccolo in the head so hard he breaks his neck, he then shoots a large ki wave through him basically putting a hole through him then tosses him off in the water. Later Piccolo is seen holding onto the side of the shore... how is this possible with a broken neck? He was tossed at least 5 meters from the shore and even if he did somehow float into it how did he pull himself up? If your neck is broke you can't do that.

Seriously, what happened here? Uh oh Akira!

I'm not sure, but, the nameks don't need their head to regenerate either, right? So maybe they don't need to use their head to other things too. So a broken neck would be like a broken arm or something.

It's a cartoon...you know, people can't actually fly or shoot out energy blasts either. ;)

But seriously, does it say he breaks his neck? I don't read the manga so I wouldn't know.

Tenshinhan stated Cell broke Piccolo's neck.

Uh... I'm not a member of the staff or anything but like shouldn't this be in the manga section? Anyway, I'm not sure. All I know is like the Z Fighters need more than a broken neck just to be down and out. Buuut yeah, a broken neck would disable them. Well how high is the shore? If it's just like sand on the beach I wouldn't be surprised. But if it's like twenty feet from the water then that would be confusing.

The shore is a few feet high, like you needing to pull yourself up out of your pool, it's not sand. Yet his arms are up on it, even though his neck was broke and he was tossed far out.

Eh, it's more of a question anyway, it just happens to involve manga dialog. If someone posted an anime question it doesn't need to be moved to the Dragonball/Z section.

He probably healed himself.

He couldn't even move once Cell slowly walked over to him, that would have been a good time to heal himself. Plus he needs to concentrate to do it as you've noticed he loses chi, how can you do that with a hole in you and underwater? The hole is probably stinging from the water going through it plus you're drowning and your neck is broke as well so how does that work?

It's just a mistake. He can't heal broken bones, not really, evidence of this is when Cell absorbed everything in his arm including his bones so it was like tissue, he had to rip it off to get it back, he simply couldn't regrow his bones and tissue inside.

There wasn't anything to heal from. He was physically fine, but he had started to lose ki from his fight from #17 when Cell arrived. He was basically in the same shape after his small fight with Cell. Albeit a little more banged up, but nothing to heal from. The only time we ever see Piccolo heal is when the wound required limb regeneration.

Piccolo has been able to regenerate both his arms and legs in seconds, as well as make new clothes and not seem to lose enough ki he had to pass out about it. (Boo Arc, when Trunks knocked over the "Piccolo statue".) I would consider that about as bad, if not a little worse than this.

We know practically nothing about the Namekian body. We do know that all they require to live is water. Maybe being under water had something to do with the situation? Maybe not. Maybe Namekians can breathe under water since that's all they require? Again, maybe not. But I think what's apparent is Piccolo did live. And if you look at the panel as we see Piccolo up on the shore, and Goku's about to pull him out, I believe you too will see his side wound is gone, as it would be just slightly above his sash, but nearly up to the top of where the ribs should be.

Last time I checked, it was never stated Namekians have bones. Tenshinhan just said Piccolo's neck was broke, but when Cell punched Piccolo, there wasn't a "Snap" sound. You'll have to look up what the sound was, because my manga aren't beside me at the moment.

Cell also stated he was draining people of their "life forces", or "ki", if you will, as they are the same thing. Well, when he drained the fat, rich man of Ginger Town, didn't that man basically dissolve? Same thing for Piccolo’s arm, but Piccolo got away. Cell was trying to get into Piccolo’s chest area anyway, as that would give him access to the entire body’s ki. In my opinion, I believe ki holds the body together in the Dragonball Universe. If someone's ki is slowly removed like the man's was, they'll dissolve. If your ki is rapidly removed, you'll turn to stone, like Majin Vegeta. That's my opinion, anyway.
