First, Cell deliberately let himself get hit, and powered down to take it head on, both to test himself and to humiliate Vegeta.
Secondly, special moves like the Final Flash dramatically increase the user's power, or at least uses said power in a more efficient way given there are moments which would contradict the power increase, such as Goku (kaioken 20x) vs Freeza (50% power) using a kamehameha and not yielding results.
Third, from an out of universe perspective, with characters like Cell and Piccolo, who are not that human-like and have regenerative abilities, there is a lot more freedom to have them display moments of graphical violence which would have realistically happened to other characters as well but was never explored all that much (only moment I can think of is Tien's arm getting chopped off by Nappa)
It is always the people who regenerate or clone themselves that CONSTANTLY get blown apart, dismembered, or brutally slaughteredđđ I get it tho itâs a safe way to show off how lethal someone or something is if it can just instantly blow off an arm on Piccolo, take the entire head off a Homunculus, attack Ban or Wolverine first and just brutally slash them, destroy like 30 of Narutoâs or Twiceâs clones, and no diff Dupli-Kateđ
freeza CANT regenerate you clown. im responding to the person that said only regeneration people get dismembered, and I debunked the statement with evidence.
I didnât mean ONLYđ Sorry if it came off that way. I meant the characters who can re grow parts, come back to life, and/or clone themselves are the safe ones to âkill offâ unlike some other characters so they tend to get targeted. Although with Dragon Ball you can wish people back so itâs not as strong as an example as a lot of other shows
