What about when cell learned instant transmission after seeing goku use it once? KHH is literally in his DNA you're telling me he can't master it in a short time but he learned instant transmission with no knowledge and seeing it once?

I didn't say he doesn't know how to use it, just that he can't use it efficiently.

I don't think anyone can explain that one properly. Cell saw Goku use it a couple of times. When he recreated himself, he must've absorbed some of Goku's remnant DNA fragments. That's my best guess.

So when piccolo said cell got his KHH from saiyan saga goku was it because goku had never amped his KHH to that point before and gero used that one or is it because goku got better and better with the KHH and could charge/amp it for longer? I'm more inclined to go with the latter

I would agree with that notion.
A rough list would be something like this

Raditz Kamehameha: 2.22x
Broly Kamehameha: 2.5x-3x
Warp Kamehameha: 5x?

This list assumes that it doesn't scale linearly
Personally I would have the Broly KHH and the instant KHH pretty close. In the manga Goku doesn't really charge it for as long as the anime made it seem like. Granted, it was probably still longer than 10 seconds.

Raditz: 2.22x
Broly: 4x
Cell: 5x
Yes, but Toei makes the anime and the Broly movie and as such, we can use the anime as a benchmark this time

I prefer the vague but reasonable answer of, "it can vary wildly," depending on things like charging time, the user's current condition, whether or not they're using ki for other things at the same time (like flying), and so forth.

I am neither for or against the whole 'amp' thing, but from my understanding of amp is that the user concentrates all or most his Ki into a Ki attack. Normal Ki attacks that are randomly and quickly fired are completely different to amp attacks. Its like when Cell fired a Kamehameha Ki Blast at Goku, which had enough destructive power to destroy the Earth. Goku warned Cell whilst he was charging and channeling his power that he shouldn't concentrate that much Ki into a single Kamehameha blast. 'He's concentrating all his Ki into something' Its similar to Vegeta's final flash against Cell that blew half his body into oblivion. A normal final flash or Galic gun wouldn't have worked on Cell as he was too powerful for any normal Ki attacks hence why Vegeta charged his attack and concentrated all his Ki into it, giving it an amp. I think it was stated somewhere the Vegeta's FF would have actually destroyed the planet had he not moved the blast slight up at the last minute hence why the blast skimmed the the surface of the Earth the way it did. Goku, during the warm up, fired a Kamehameha blast when he was flying up to which Cell deflected with ease. Then we later see later see him blow half of Cell's body off; so I guess this indicates that there is indeed an amp.

I like to think the amps got smaller as the power levels got overwhelmingly large.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

The amp really depends on the user and that user's condition, but we see about a 2.3x amp (give or take) when Raditz scales Goku's power when he's charging his Kamehameha.

However, I do believe that the attack itself has a limit to the level of amp it can produce, and I believe that this is true for all attacks. The composition of the attack itself doesn't allow you to go over a certain amp, and there's no evidence of you actually being able to focus all of your ki into a tight area to amp it to ridiculous levels like you do with the Kikoho.

How about something along the lines of the following:

Numbers are examples only and may or may not applicable.

Obviously, in general, a user's condition and the attacks charge time must be taken into account but for the sake of this example, I will ignore this.


Normal Kamehameha: 1.5x
Mastered Kamehameha: 2.5x

Goku learns the Kamehameha. It starts out a little "low": 1.5x

After having various battles and training time, Goku faces off against Piccolo Jr with his "Super Kamehameha": 2.5x

During the battle with Vegeta, Goku must attempt to amp his own overall Ki and amp his attack's Ki to it's fullest: 1.5x (or 0x if you're silly enough to believe that)

Although he's had a bit of time, it hasn't been long.. so during the battle with Freeza he's in the same spot: 1.5x

During the 4 years post-Namek, Goku remasters his Kamehameha, unleashing it's full potential even while transformed: 2.5x

Cell hasn't mastered the stacking method, and ends up using a 1.5x vs Piccolo.



...or something like that.

Cell's Kamehameha amp had enough power in it to destroy the the earth.

Cell's Kamehameha amp had enough power in it to destroy the the earth.
Vegeta's Galic Gun in the Saiyan Arc had enough power to destroy the Earth.

What's your point?

My point is that it'd need more than 2.5x to blow up the earth

So, you think that Cell is more than 2.5x weaker than Saiyan Arc Vegeta's Galic Gun?
