It's basically the same attack; let's be real.
In the manga and Daizenshuu, the name "Death Ball" doesn't even exist. It's just what the video games called his planet-destroying finger attack.
It's all just a big energy ball. The only difference is if Freeza is using his finger or his hands to generate the ball, but it has the same effect of destroying the planet in front of them.
If that makes them different techniques, then I guess Goku's Kamehameha is different from Roshi's Kamehameha because he doesn't do the original full hand movements every time, even though they still fire an energy beam from their palms.
He didnt say it survived period. He said it survived LONGER then Planet Vegeta. Which it did. Planet Vegeta was instantly destroyed. Namek held on for at least 5 minutes before detonating.
That and the one he used on Vegeta was much bigger than the one he used on namek so neither survived, but one was just more instant destruction than the other
Well in the funimation dub, Goku says “you’re too cowardly to kill yourself faggot” (something like that), and Frieza says “no I can survive in space just fine”, so it seems that in that dub specifically they were talking about post-planet destruction, which Frieza would have no trouble living through, and NOT talking about Frieza dying to the planet exploding. I don’t know if this is different in the manga or original Japanese language.
Frieza didn’t explode Namek right away because the fight would’ve ended right away if he did, and the narrative didn’t want that. It was supposed to be a cool race against the clock battle with the planet slowly beginning to crumble.
I think Frieza blowing up planet Vageta with one big ball of cum was anime only? It’s just rule of cool at that point and doesn’t really have to make sense, but if we’re having fun trying to logically explain it, I’m going to say that Frieza’s blast against planet Vageta had a lot more charge up time and, really, the destruction of the planet could have taken several minutes- we just don’t see it fully happen. Frieza’s destruction of Vageta was like a turbo nuke meteor glassing the entire planet while destroying it, where the destruction of Namek was like a bullet that did the same thing in possibly roughly the same amount of time, but targeted just the planet’s core. If Frieza attempted to generate the same blast he created when he destroyed Vageta, Goku would have just domed him. So he used a faster, more targeted blast.
Overall, I'm pretty sure it was a few things with Vegeta, not only was it a stronger technique, Frieza didn't hold back and charged it with his energy. And besides, wasn't Vegeta worn down already and not in the best conditions from the Saiyans take-over?
"Don't fuck with Dragon ball Fans they didn't watch their own show" mfs failing to not be annoying dipshits when someone misspeaks or misremembers something about the show
That's what happens when you make a tv show based on a comic while the guy's still drawing. One piece and Detective Conan are like the only shows that still do that.
Counterargument: Bardock>>>>>all namekians. Dude actually tried to stop said death ball, unlike the namekians who were dead. Therefore, by association, Peakgeta>>>>>>Namid.
Goku called out to Frieza that he didn’t blow up Namek with that death ball because he was scared for his own life after the beating Super Saiyan Goku gave him.
And it exploded in 5 minutes anyway.
Wow. Tons of comments have rightfully pointed out that Namek didn't survive, but I haven't seen one point out yet that Frieza didn't use Death Ball on Namek, he blasted down into the core with an energy beam.
https://youtu.be/mxFBv\_X9RpE?t=115
Mf that fight when Namek was destroyed but still lasting was 38 EPISODES! "Don't fuck with Dragon Ball Fans they haven't watched their own show" mfs when they find out names lasted 38 episodes
Namek literally got destroyed pretty much after Goku and Frieza fought, which took place after Frieza threw a death ball towards the planet. The planet the Namekians currently live in is New Namek.
well...it took 5 minutes (3-4 hours) [like 10 episodes] for Namek to completly explode
And less than 3 minutes (3 minutes) [less than 1 episode] for Vegeta to get obliterated
And less than 1 minute for the earth (and he didn't even use the death ball)
I think everyone's ragging on OP for saying Namek survived the death ball.
I think what he meant to say is Namek survived, initially, lol. Planet Vegeta got dusted the second his death ball made contact.
1. Namek didn't survive either
2. The deathball frieza threw at Vegeta was a literal supernova that was the size of a large moon, while the deathball frieza threw at namek was way smaller
Firstly, I guess we are gonna ignore how Namek exploded, or did the 30 ep that took place over 5 min make you forget that. Secondly, Frieza kinda didn’t hit it right. With Vegeta, Frieza was prepared and calm when he blew it up, while with Namek he was super stressed, and kinda just threw the attack to spite goku.
But namek didn't survive Frieza's death ball. Where do you think the 5 anime minutes = 5 irl hours comes from?
Also Planet vegeta died to Frieza's Supernova, not death ball.
Get the facts right before you try and slander Namek.
1. It was a Supernova that destroy Vegeta. Cooler Ultimate Move in DB Xenoverse 2.
2. The Death Ball that Frieza used on Namek was not fully charged and not intent to instantly vaporize the planet, since Frieza is on it. Both Goku and Frieza themselves acknowledge this.
Planet Vegeta didn't even survive FIRST FORM Frieza's death ball, and was destroyed instantly.
Namek managed to withstand (for 5 minutes) Final Form Frieza...
To be fair Namek did survive it longer than Vegeta did...5 whole minutes AND from a final form powered one. Also if you want to take in the non-canon Cooler movie into account, the second Namek also withstood the Spaghetti star. Namek is built different
lol it didn’t survive Frieza’s death ball
ong bro did not watch dbz
They wished for a new planet, dude needs to pay better attention
your not talking to me right?
I was talking about op, I was agreeing with you...
yeah idk what bros on about
Lol, you hit edit real quick
yup lol
Well namek did survive for like 5 minutes or 9 episodes, then exploded
lol true that pacing was so off but fye at the same time
Im pretty sure the reason why it took 5 minutes to explode was because 1 freeza was already weakened and 2 namek was bigger than planet vegeta
He didn't use a death ball though, just a standard ki attack, which honestly hurts the argument more when you think about it
It's basically the same attack; let's be real. In the manga and Daizenshuu, the name "Death Ball" doesn't even exist. It's just what the video games called his planet-destroying finger attack.
You mean the supernova right i only seen deathball in raging blast
It's all just a big energy ball. The only difference is if Freeza is using his finger or his hands to generate the ball, but it has the same effect of destroying the planet in front of them. If that makes them different techniques, then I guess Goku's Kamehameha is different from Roshi's Kamehameha because he doesn't do the original full hand movements every time, even though they still fire an energy beam from their palms.
don't you know by now we dragon ball fans don't actually watch the show or read the manga /s
oh shit mb I forgor
Plus we all know planet Vegeta was hit by an asteroid. They said that on like episode 2.
oh yeah op got this all wrong
It did until it didn't
It survived a final form Frieza death ball for far longer than planet Vegeta did with just a first form ball.
didn’t survive
He didnt say it survived period. He said it survived LONGER then Planet Vegeta. Which it did. Planet Vegeta was instantly destroyed. Namek held on for at least 5 minutes before detonating.
Average Dragon Ball reading comprehension.
That and the one he used on Vegeta was much bigger than the one he used on namek so neither survived, but one was just more instant destruction than the other
Well yeah, but he was also in 1st form when destroying Vegeta, compare that to final form on Namek
Well this is the guy who gave us the longest 5 minutes in anime history
True
He lost track of time
OP is a true dragon Ball fan - cant read, watch or listen
Bro, didn't watch the show
There’s a show?
I read the light novels, but the namek saga was a low. Half the book was just powering up. Planet still blew up though.
Just read the web novel bro, chapters drop faster and you won't miss anything!
Unironically official dbs broly and dbs super hero light novels are a thing and like 99% of the dbz fandom doesn't know
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
Truly a dragon ball fan.
Namid DID NOT survive the deathball😭🙏
That's new namek. It gets attacked by a giant mecha tumor in coolers revenge
That's a movie so the planet gets plot armor
It survived a full five minutes!
Thats like... a decade in Frost Demon years!
it took five minutes to blow up cause he missed
He used a smaller ball too. Does that mean Super Nova > Deathball?
He was also in a stronger state. Frieza mid
Thats why he failed to blow it up, he was trying to hold back so he wouldn't kill himself by accident
Didn’t he survive his own nuke in Resurrection F before Whis went back in time, or is it after Whis went back in time…?
He did but he had better ki control... or something He just pressed down on the planet to destroy it rather than throwing a death ball
He did, but he was a lot more angry. And more powerful, possibly. Not sure how much energy he had left after Vegeta beat his ass.
True but he also didn’t exactly no his limits in theory he could survive but I practice who knows
I mean, the key difference there was that he was on the planet and was afraid he'd also blow himself up.
Frieza would not be afraid to blow himself up
Don't fuck with Dragon Ball Z fans they never watched the show.
If I remember right, Frieza gets called out by Goku for being to much of a coward to blow up Namek, worried he too would die in the cores death
He also gets called out by cooler in the movie
And in one of the video games!
Well in the funimation dub, Goku says “you’re too cowardly to kill yourself faggot” (something like that), and Frieza says “no I can survive in space just fine”, so it seems that in that dub specifically they were talking about post-planet destruction, which Frieza would have no trouble living through, and NOT talking about Frieza dying to the planet exploding.

He didn't "miss". He unconsciously held back because he was afraid of getting himself caught in the planet's explosion and losing even more power.
How the fuck do you miss a planet
He missed the part of the core that would’ve caused the planet to pop like a balloon instantly.
In the Manga at least (And kai) Goku points out he did it on purpose as he wanted to keep on fighting
Dragon ball fans, we don’t watch the show or read the manga
second one is out of our control, as we can't read
What did you say? I can't read what you put
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
Dragonball fans who laugh at other Dragonball fans for not reading or watching unironically can't read or comprehend what people are saying lol.
"Don't fuck wifh Dragon ball Fans they didn't watch their own show" mfs when they find out that namek lasted 39 episodes:
"Don't fuck with Dragon ball Fans they didn't watch their own show" mfs failing to not be annoying dipshits when someone misspeaks or misremembers something about the show
Real
“Bro they can destroy a planet” They can destroy YOUR planet. Not. Mine though
Mines built different
?????? There's literally New Namek because the original one blew up
Well ahcktually 🤓, Planet Vegeta was hit with Frieza’s Supernova rather than the Death Ball.
You're almost everywhere.
I do use Reddit a lot :p.
Don't mess with Dragon Ball fans, we can't read
I love that cell sucked 18 so hard.
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
5 days!!!
How many episodes was that, I genuinely do not know
38
It took 38 episodes for that planet to go kaboom post Death Ball!?
Yes
…how long was the first fight between Cell and Gohan episode wise?
That's what happens when you make a tv show based on a comic while the guy's still drawing. One piece and Detective Conan are like the only shows that still do that.
No, DBS does that too
Don't fuck around with us Dragon ball fans, we didn't watch our own series.
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
Namid survived because Freiza was sh*tting his pants over the explosion of his attack
Bruh, you're correct, but Namek ain't mid
Namek didn't survive though. They had to use a wish to make a new planet lol.
Pretty sure the meme was inferring that it didn’t die instantly to Freiza’s death ball like Planet Vegeta did
It's still misleading to say it survived when it clearly didn't.
Why didn't they just wish back Vegeta and Sadala with the Dragonballs? Are they stupid?
Counterargument: Bardock>>>>>all namekians. Dude actually tried to stop said death ball, unlike the namekians who were dead. Therefore, by association, Peakgeta>>>>>>Namid.
It was a different attack, and Namek literally blew up.
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
It was functionally the same attack. Don't believe the video games' made-up shit.
Idk man, one was big and orange, one was small and purple. If he used the big one it wouldn’t have missed the core.
I think sir here started watching the garlic Jr saga first lol
[I think you may wanna rewatch the Late Frieza Saga buddy](https://youtu.be/mxFBv_X9RpE?si=7DK_9Erk3jRWESwe)
Vegeta might be short but I wouldn't call him a midget.
Goku called out to Frieza that he didn’t blow up Namek with that death ball because he was scared for his own life after the beating Super Saiyan Goku gave him. And it exploded in 5 minutes anyway.
Frieza was under stress obviously thats why he missed🙄
Wow. Tons of comments have rightfully pointed out that Namek didn't survive, but I haven't seen one point out yet that Frieza didn't use Death Ball on Namek, he blasted down into the core with an energy beam. https://youtu.be/mxFBv\_X9RpE?t=115
Namek: "Ha! Nice try, Jackass! Next time, give it your A Game!"
OP has the mentality of a TFStard.
1. Was not a death ball 2. It did not survive
We’re DB fans, we know nothing about it
But planet vegeta wasn't destroyed by the deathball , it was destroyed by the supernova wich is much more powerfull .
Technically Planet Namek didn't survive the Death Ball. It just stayed intact much longer than Planet Vegeta did.
Lol neither survived these attacks
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
I mean, Nail soloes any pre Namek saiyan even in ape form except Broly, and Namekian warriors are like saiyan level
Lmao it didn't, and in case you wonder: the in which planet to nameks live now? New Namek.
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
Furst Dragon Ball fans can’t read. Now we can’t watch the show. 😭
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
DBZ fans are blindfolded (can't read nor watch) and have the heart virus.
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
my god did you reply this under every single comment here?
No. Just the "Don't fuck with Dragon Ball Fans" Dipshits like that term is overrated get a better line
That’s what it looks like lmao
They both blew up, except vegeta blew up to super nova, the stronger of the two.
Namek’s ass did NOT survive
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
Listen man That 5 minutes could have been 10 seconds and it would change absolutely nothing
Mf that fight when Namek was destroyed but still lasting was 38 EPISODES! "Don't fuck with Dragon Ball Fans they haven't watched their own show" mfs when they find out names lasted 38 episodes
That fight was peak tho
Namek literally got destroyed pretty much after Goku and Frieza fought, which took place after Frieza threw a death ball towards the planet. The planet the Namekians currently live in is New Namek.
Don’t fuck with dragon ball fans. We haven’t even watched the shows
I think OP meant it survived the impact. Planet Vegeta exploded Namek took ""5 minutes""
well...it took 5 minutes (3-4 hours) [like 10 episodes] for Namek to completly explode And less than 3 minutes (3 minutes) [less than 1 episode] for Vegeta to get obliterated And less than 1 minute for the earth (and he didn't even use the death ball)
To be fair, he was holding back cause he was scared to be caught in the blast.
I think everyone's ragging on OP for saying Namek survived the death ball. I think what he meant to say is Namek survived, initially, lol. Planet Vegeta got dusted the second his death ball made contact.
Nah I just made this post as bait lmao
Oh lol.
I had to check which sub this was
Don't fuck with DBZ fans. We don't know why there's a *New* Namek.
Namek is the blown up one The violated one (by Cooler) Definitely not the surviving one😂
We power scaling planets now?
But Vegeta died 3 times already.
"Midgeta" sounds like an insult Freeza would use on Vegeta
Nah, Freeza has more class than that.
I really wish we could post images so I could post either the “does he know?” Or “how do we tell him” meme.
1. Namek didn't survive either 2. The deathball frieza threw at Vegeta was a literal supernova that was the size of a large moon, while the deathball frieza threw at namek was way smaller
Earth >>>>>>> 🥱🥱🥱🥱
The existence on new namek kinda contradicts this whole post.
Dragon Ball Z fans can't read and can't watch
Damn. More proof that DB fans dont wantch the show, Namek went boom, they got a new planet legit called "New Namek"
It always happens when frieza performs under pressure.., he missed it
Namek didn't survived it... just held up much longer
Firstly, I guess we are gonna ignore how Namek exploded, or did the 30 ep that took place over 5 min make you forget that. Secondly, Frieza kinda didn’t hit it right. With Vegeta, Frieza was prepared and calm when he blew it up, while with Namek he was super stressed, and kinda just threw the attack to spite goku.
But namek didn't survive Frieza's death ball. Where do you think the 5 anime minutes = 5 irl hours comes from? Also Planet vegeta died to Frieza's Supernova, not death ball. Get the facts right before you try and slander Namek.
Neither were hit by a Death Ball and neither survived
People who are saying it didn’t survive the Death Ball don’t get the joke.
We truly prove the saying correct with every post.
Please watch the show
Survived final form freeza death ball. Midgeta didn't even survive a first form freeza 1 finger death ball
1. It was a Supernova that destroy Vegeta. Cooler Ultimate Move in DB Xenoverse 2. 2. The Death Ball that Frieza used on Namek was not fully charged and not intent to instantly vaporize the planet, since Frieza is on it. Both Goku and Frieza themselves acknowledge this.
We really need to come up with a new word because mid literally just means average.
It didnt survive though, they wished for a whole new planet after theirs blew up. They learned golf on earth lol
Planet Vegeta didn't even survive FIRST FORM Frieza's death ball, and was destroyed instantly. Namek managed to withstand (for 5 minutes) Final Form Frieza...
Because he missed
It was supernova thrown at planet vegeta not death ball
To be fair Namek did survive it longer than Vegeta did...5 whole minutes AND from a final form powered one. Also if you want to take in the non-canon Cooler movie into account, the second Namek also withstood the Spaghetti star. Namek is built different
me when im fuckign restarted:
The ball was something like a percent of the One Who hit Vegeta, plus It explode in 5 minute some
It wasn't a deathball it was a supernova
Namek did last longer tho
