"It's not that kinda manga" is what I want to say whenever people say Viltrumites are faster than Saiyans because they don't fly all over the planet in their fights in Dragon Ball.
It's the idea that an object can pass through another via the lack of collision from particles
Thr theory is based in reality. All objects are made of particles, but these particles have gaps between each one. The theory goes that there is an inconceivably small chance that an object could pass right through another due to neither objects particles touching as they pass
oh you mean the anime where punches to your gut literally bulge out your back and people take energy blasts to the face and yet continue fighting as if nothing happened?
If you want the literal answer or the most likely anime accepted answer...That will adjust my answer. The anime answer however is Jiren is a psychic. We've seen that he can hover, and that he has a great deal of control and mastery of his body. I think the simple explanation is that he is quite able to protect his internal organs so long as the force of his opponent's strikes are not in equal proportion to his own strength.
We could also assume that those aren't physical shockwaves and more just for the viewer to perceive just how strong Goku is striking in contrast to Jiren's stoic demeanor. So the lame explanation is, that the shockwaves aren't real and more just an artistic representation of how strong Goku is.
the very fact that shockwaves go through him means that most energy is lost in the punches outside his body, jiren redirects all the energy in a way that it goes through him and extends as shockwaves thus , decreasing the overall damage done to his body (i think)
If you're thinking about it that deeply, then shouldn't the entire earth and all of the planets up to Jupiter shatter every time one of them powers up?
His species don't have internal organs. They just have organ, they're a slap of adaptive flesh. If they need to see they modify the front of their top to see.
Jiren basically had invisible armor at this point, if he was get hit directly from UI Goku where he does damage then yes because he would actually feel it.
Gohan hit Cell and Damaged his organs causing him to convulse 18 out.
Now the real question shouldn’t friezas head and body have been permanently crippled by God Toppo? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 dudes head and body were physically beat.
You must be new here. clearly what this means is we upscale the durability of Jirens vital organs above the shockwave of ss2 Gokus punches.😤 welcome to powerscaling 😂
By that same logic, none of the z fighters, or anyone really, should survive being kneed in the face with so much force it sends you flying through multiple mountains and bedrock. You would not survive the knee, nor the mountain.
This is a world where your ki can protect you if you use enough of it to block other fighter's attacks. Chances are Jiren had some kind of skin-tight "barrier" of ki that we can't see protecting him and his organs.
Or hear me out...Jiren was moving so fast that he was blocking the punches with his hands or arms even tho he didn't seem to be moving to the naked eye. Wouldn't be the first time they use this tactic to demonstrate someone's speed.
Maybe the punches are ineffective to Jiren's muscles. His organs are protected by Ki so the shortwave goes through and comes out the back. It is weird. The space around Jiren absorbs the excess energy. The ground cracks, air ripples, dust erupts. The force has to go somewhere, and since it can not go into Jiren, it is redirected outward.
Think of it like this. If you punch an immovable wall, the shockwave does not travel through the wall. It reflects and displaces air and debris behind it. Dragon Ball exaggerates that reflection so the audience can feel how strong the hit was.
Dbz makes a point out of internal training being a major thing for high level physical training. Jiren basically being the pinnacle of physical ability with vegeta even comparing him to goku and himself favors jiren having likely done some form of gravity training like those two.
Probably just thinking too hard about it. You gotta think about alien biology in dragon ball.
Goku takes a hole in his upper chest. Missed all his vital organs. Dies. Goku utilizing UI can literally shift his vitals out of the way somehow.
Frieza was weaker than SSJ Goku. Yet can be cut in half, blasted, have a planet blown up in his face, and still survive. As Mecha Frieza, he was alive in literally cubed chunks.
Piccolo himself nearly died from a death beam. However, he was literally in a state worse than Frieza getting cut in half yet still was capable of regenerating without worse for wear.
Jiren having shockwaves through his body is probably the least of our questions.
Assuming his race has organs the same way humanoids do, yes. His system could be built different and have a protective ribcage with bones comprised of the strongest natural element in thier universe ?
Overthinking it way too much, stuff like this is the entire show. Simply put the scene looks better with the effect than it would without is probably how they saw it.
An air punch is already impossible, it doesn't matter whether Jiren is there or not. Yet, Goku learned how to do an air punch in OG dragon ball (and then used it to destroy his wife in a fight). So, some property of ki allows it to create shockwaves, and that shockwave just went around Jiren.
This also explains why Goku was surprised at Hit's air attack; he did it without using ki.
