Given how weak Tien is in comparison to cell at this point, if he was able to hold in off with the tri beam. Even if somebody like Goku or vegeta decided to use it, the power would be absurd.
Humans like Tien have the unique ability to shoot out attacks far more powerful than their actual power level I believe, so no Goku and Vegeta using it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. I'm pretty sure that was actually the reason why Human-Saiyan hybrids are so ridiculously powerful in DB, the combination of the raw power level that Saiyans have with the power amplification quirk exclusive to Humans make for an unimaginably powerful warrior
@@noctisluciscaelum211 This is why I say Toriyama should’ve never made Goku an alien. It takes away all the progress from his achievements in the original Dragon Ball
This is the first time Tenshinhan uses ki ko hi at his fullest power At the martial arts tournament against kid goku, he used enough to remove the ring Against Nappa, he had his arm severed when he used it So even Cell was light years ahead from Tenshinhan in power, The Ki koho power was still able to force and stun cell movements
@Celestial_Wing Tien's energy was actually very low to the vicious beating Nappa gave him. He used his remaining ki plus his life force for that single-armed Kikoho. Tien also used up a ton of energy with his fight against Goku in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai. With Cell, he was 100% fresh and ready for battle. Even though Tien is far too weak to do any harm to Cell, the sheer force of the Shin Kikoho was able to push him back.
@@timbaktuu9845 The Z fighters can still learn Kaioken and stuff. And not to mention Tien's true power of enlightenment is still sealed. (They must have forgot about Tien)
Tien totally caught Cell off guard here great moment, it was like being in og DB again Tien doing something cool vs one of the toughest fighters ever. Sad that in Z Tien, Piccolo and even Krillin etc got disrespected and Tien is a total joke in Super. The androids were so dumb standing there when Tien was dealing with Cell.
That's why I don't watch super but imagine a movie focused on Tien krillin yamcha and like Master roshi with some sort of storyline where they're the only survivors or they're Earth's only hope. Maybe they have to protect Earth from some sort of threat while the stronger fighters are fighting in the world tournament
GT didn't do him dirty but damn there was near to ZERO screen time. At least, it had Goten, Trunks and Uub. On the other hand, they did the villains absolutely dirty. They put Dragon Ball humor on Frieza and Cell and Nappa didn't even get a single voice line. Came and died.
Not gonna lie. Tiens been my favorites since Dragonball and I loved this moment. But it did make me hate krillin. I know it all worked out with 18 becoming his wife but I was pissed how he just made Tiens awesome moment pointless by letting her get absorbed by cell anyways.
For the first time in 20 years I just realized that they could have deactivated 18, killed cell, and then reactivated her. Krillin is an absolute tool.
Convenience on the part of the creators. In the original DB they made it a square so he could blast off the Tenkaichi Budoukai stage. I don’t think the name has anything to do with triangles in the original Japanese but for some reason it does in the English dub.
Semi-Perfect Cell: Oh my god, it's Tenshinhan! What, was Krillin busy? (Tenshinhan angrily claps both hands together) Come on, buddy! You can't be serious... With your power level!? You're no Android! You're no Namekian! And you're certainly no Super Saiyan! You're just human... Tenshinhan: Yeah, well, you know what?! F**k power levels! F**k Super Saiyans! AND F**K YOU! SHIN!

All i have to say is massive W tien, and where is this Goku nowadays. Genuine concern and fear in his voice that his friend is going to sacrifice himself. Taking something seriously.
@@robavignone9084 for the most part, but i do have to acknowledge the moments Super had that were pretty good. Just not nearly as often as it should have been.
ok I know this is Tien's big moment but can we take a moment praise Sean Schemmel at the point he's trying to convince Tien to stop, amazing voice acting
I love how with this detail, in DB New Hope, Krillin with the Kio-ken and using a Kikohou, was able to defeat a perfect Cell at the time he surpassed his power.
Why didn't Goku IT to Tien, grab the Androids and then IT somewhere else? I know it's DBZ but I think this question has evaded a lot of people. The hell yo?...
Tien had no chance to keep up anymore. But unlike Kuririn, Vegeta and Gohan he didnt mess shit up but came in clutch to do what needed to be done. Him, future Trunks and Piccolo were the ones with the right mindset. Without a stupid desire to participate in a pissing contest that puts their homeworld at risk or falling in love with a killer robot.
Yet Goku could instant transmission to android 18, 19, and Tien and transport them out of there. Instead he yells from the lookout. Also someone who is as strong as android 18 should be able to pickup android 19 even if he can’t fly.
@@ronaldomontero3624 16 and 18 weren’t really villains by this point. After watching 17 get absorbed, I’m sure they would’ve let Goku instant transmission them to safety. Use a bit of critical thinking lil bro.
Tien and Krillin had their most badass moment in the Imperfect and Semi Perfect Saga Krillin was able to hold his own against Imperfect Cell Tien was able to hold back Semi-Perfect Cell
Tien was a true man, fighting against all odds regardless of certain death. But just like in reality, the cowardly comrades won't come in time to take advantage of the situation. People are weak.
i wish they could have wrote in some rubbish to make him relevant again like i dont know have him enlightened by some spacial meditation or something basically did that with gohan anyway
The fact that the tri beam multiplies the users ki to i think about 100 times which in the dragon ball encyclopedia i believe it states that tien's power was multiplied up to base super saiyan level
wait a minute .... goku instant transmits to save tein and its clear cell cant catch up .... why the fuck did goku not just instant transmit the androids to another planet 😂
Give the guy a break at least he is at it training and getting stronger while noobies like yamcha have already given up he even gave his all against cell despite his odds being pretty low
its a shame they never let tien fight more. his VA has some pretty badass screams
I know his VA is part of why he’s one of my favorite characters. That and this moment right here

I really like Tien. He’s buff, got mad drip, awesome techniques and he’s training humans on how to use Ki.

It always irritated me that the androids just stood there like sitting ducks while Tien was giving it all just so they could escape.

Everyone already stole the Solar Flare, seems a waste not to steal the Shin Kikoho too.
They would have to get that 3rd eye to be able to do it
Isn't it because tri beam canon is fueled by the power of soul which I'm assuming is much more powerful than any ki based attacks

Anyone who's played a video game comprehends the astronomical amount of annoyance Cell is feeling here
Uhh… most of us have played DBZ games but different concept 😅
we were so nettled
That moment when Tien does better against Semi Perfect Cell than pre time chamber Goku ever would’ve did
I guess that would explain why goku didnt immediately teleport. He would be far outclassed. Heck even post time chamber Goku seems to be underpowered.
@@Ka-Ping Are you joking? Post time chamber goku oneshots semi-perfect cell 💀
Uuum did Goku ever fight cell before going in the time chamber?

Against Nappa, he had his arm severed when he used it
So even Cell was light years ahead from Tenshinhan in power, The Ki koho power was still able to force and stun cell movements
Againt Nappa he used it at full power that's why he died afterward.
Nappa literally punched Tien's arm off, that wasn't because of the Ki koho. He later died using a full power version against Nappa.
@Celestial_Wing Tien's energy was actually very low to the vicious beating Nappa gave him. He used his remaining ki plus his life force for that single-armed Kikoho.
