Really, it makes sense. If he'd killed the gunman, then the guy who wanted him dead would've just hired somebody else. He just went for wiping out the cause, rather than the symptom.
@@gurvmlk yeah, but if you get both, then it scares off everyone. Now, others might think they have free range to attack because he will let them live.
@@gurvmlk looks like the bullet went through the one guy's hat, and then to the other guy. Could have gotten both of them if he aimed lower. Or, he could have done it another way.
Cool part also is the dude that the dude with the gun was a flunkie, the guy who died was the one who wanted Tao dead. Not only did he do that shoe-shit, he knew which guy to aim the deflected bullet at!
Additionally badassery… the bullet couldn’t have it the boss if it had only gone straight through… the flunky stepped out into the street from the side, and when he turns back after the shot, his reaction of panic is before he can turn a full 180 degrees… Mercenary Tao was able to curve the trajectory of the bullet using the flunky’s turban.
As a professional mercenary, he probably does not hold himself or other mercenaries responsible for the actions they are paid to take, in the same way a gun is not to blame for shooting someone, but instead the wielder, and in this case, the Person who hired the mercenary and told them to do the thing in question.
*In hell* Raditz: "No being has ever dodged a bullet more cooler than me. I can dodge it with just my hand and throw it back like a true saiyan!" Tao: "How original..."
You don't know what dodging is, do you? Tao deflect the bullet, and Raditz just caught it. Dodging involves avoiding whatever's coming at you entirely.

@@Dark_Jaguar tbf thats the world of Dragon ball. The red ribbon army "controll the world" was led by a dwarf whose main goal in life was to become taller while controlling the world was but an after thought
@@Dark_Jaguar It was probably out of revenge, so you want to see it happen. And it is not like anyone is going to mind if you killed the most notorious assassin in the world.
We gonna talk about how the timing is physically impossible, because the depleted uranium shoe would've had to move over 4000 ft/second, and was instead depicted as if it only had enough energy to reach the target position?
Remember, this is the guy who not only killed Hercule's master (this giving him a crippling fear of Ki users), but also is the one responsible for training Tien. It royally sucks that when he finally reappeared in the Cell saga, he wimped out when he encountered Gohan, just because he was Goku's son. Androids 17 and 18 weren't professional martial artists or assassins. They were just random kids Gero grabbed off the street, and made them strong enough to humiliate super saiyans with ease. Cyborg Tao could have been a legitimate threat, possibly even a DBZ movie villain, instead of a canon fodder filler episode.
@@julianwilliams9088 It's not in an episode. There's other sources of dragon ball lore that extends outside the main anime and manga. For example, Vegeta's brother, Tarble. Jaco also started out as a spin off series that takes place within the Dragon Ball universe, which reveals that Bulma has a sister, and explains how the Briefs family is so familiar with Jaco.
He might’ve avoided that bullet but he took at least two whole steps on the outdoor ground with his bare sock, I would be hard pressed to call that victory
Amazing how he could do this with a bullet, only to get blown up by a slow moving grenade later. Dragonball has never been consistent with character feats.
@@wdma87 I don't think you understand what i mean. Tao deflects a sniper bullet with his slipper yet Goku black, a god. Got shot by a sniper. Which is what makes is hard to take super seriously. Hopefully that's clearer.
Super has a lot of things that are laughable. Kids turning into Super sayan after 30 s of training. 2 Super sayans made Goku transform to God form, while Goku's base form takes on freeza. Makes a lot of sense, Vegeta and Goku spend all of their time training in base form with Wis so that their base can be stronger well guess not. A fusion of 2 super sayans being stronger than Goku blue GOD form. The power levels in Super are a bad joke.
My sight on DB is quite unpopular but my favorite part of db is first season of 1986, cause it was unique, had seriousness because deathes were permanent and way more common, and even humor were way better and sometimes mature. DBZ and on are good but tbh enemies from 1st season were much more colorful and cool
Tao deflected a sniper shot behind back with a slipper and that same slipper fall back to his feet after the deed of deflecting the bullet back to the snipers bandana on the head without killing the sniper but killing the guy who issued the order to kill Tao, all that and all he did was walk and lift a leg
This is why OG Dragon Ball was superior. Being badass was about more than just muscle and raw power-being a badass meant being able to style on the weak.
Lol I remember in the future trunks episode a bullet bounced off of 17’s face, but he was caught off guard! I wonder why the androids couldn’t react faster than one of the superior humans in dragon ball even thought they’re far stronger than super saiyans
@@crowx5818 thats not a power levels moment the androids are teenagers that got powered up by cybernetics there not trained fighters. Given they were completely unhurt by the bullet it's pretty clear there powerlevels make perfect sense.
@@chronic-joker It is a power level moment since power level affects reaction time, the fact that the cyborg reacted slower than a superior human despite being vastly above that level shows why power levels are bs.
It was very cool of the Red Ribbon army to make an assassin a general. Almost like someone wasn't paying attention when translating or based it off that Mystic Adventure special, but that's crazy talk.
i like that the bullet got deflected through the first guys hat in a way that made it questionable whether he got shot or not, but it turns out fine only for the last fucking frame of the video to be a dude who is totally just Fucking Dead.
No some bullets are subsonic, though not by much. And he might have been watching him from the corner of his eye or something. Actually the most unrealistic part is that he kicked his shoe up after the bullet was already on its way from just a few feet away and it fell back to the ground at the end. He would have had to kick the shoe up into the air at a speed comparable to the speed of the bullet in order to reach it in time, in which case it would have gone high up into the sky.
One of Blue's men was shot for picking his nose. Red was killed by a bullet to the head. In the manga 17 shoots and kills an old guy with a gun in Trunks' future. Oh and let's not forget the Farmer who got killed by his own bullet when Raditz threw it back at him.
But planets in the dragonball franchise ARE apparently made out of high explosives. Fun fact, to blow up the Earth, you'd need 4 times 10 to the 33rd power joules of energy, or the same energy released from 20 trillion tons of antimatter annihilating with 20 trillion tons of matter. And we're supposed to believe they produce this kind of energy from their 100 kilogram bodies.
Man, feels like a whole other show than mid-to-late Z. Feels more mystical and like a Martial Arts flick. I'm sure that's why it was called "Dragon" ball, in vogue of these movies always having dragon in their title.
@@LogoDev Nah, do some history research. He was a fan of martial arts movies, so he put "Dragon" in the vogue of how they were named back then. Fucking idiot.
oh yes early dragon ball, when we were still fighting over a tournament rank, guns were lethal and in a good ol' 90s style a lot sexism and panty peeking

He would have had to kick the shoe up into the air at a speed comparable to the speed of the bullet in order to reach it in time, in which case it would have gone high up into the sky.
That gun shoots whole ass cartridges. 😂
Tao mastered the Ultrakill deflecting mechanics before it was even a thing.
He's not a general. He's assassin.
Ironically for me this is more badass than characters blowing up a planet.
Exactly, lol. Technically, humans can already do that with nuclear weapons. But we can’t do this.
This is probably one of the biggest anime flexes ever and it belongs to Tao
Everyone is talking about how badass this is, but no one is talking about the guy in the final few seconds
My friend who never heard of Dragon Ball legit thought it was a high school girl in the thumbnail. Thanks, Tao's skirt and socks
its bs like that wich makes the original series my favorite
His shoes are bulletproof.
Breaking News: Bullets in the Dragonball Franchise are in fact NOT made of sponge.
Must be the only person to die to a bullet in the entire DBU
One of Blue's men was shot for picking his nose. Red was killed by a bullet to the head. In the manga 17 shoots and kills an old guy with a gun in Trunks' future.
Oh and let's not forget the Farmer who got killed by his own bullet when Raditz threw it back at him.
But planets in the dragonball franchise ARE apparently made out of high explosives. Fun fact, to blow up the Earth, you'd need 4 times 10 to the 33rd power joules of energy, or the same energy released from 20 trillion tons of antimatter annihilating with 20 trillion tons of matter. And we're supposed to believe they produce this kind of energy from their 100 kilogram bodies.
The real hero is whoever made that god level bulletproof slippers
Tao truly was a badass lol.
I remember when he was introduced and killed the previous main villain with just his tongue. That's how you introduce a threat lol
Man, feels like a whole other show than mid-to-late Z. Feels more mystical and like a Martial Arts flick. I'm sure that's why it was called "Dragon" ball, in vogue of these movies always having dragon in their title.
it was called dragon ball... because of the dragon balls
@@LogoDev Nah, do some history research. He was a fan of martial arts movies, so he put "Dragon" in the vogue of how they were named back then. Fucking idiot.
@@JagoShogun Why are you so mad? Go outside loser.
you can see in interviews he named it due to the "dragon" motif in old kung fu movies, smartass.@@LogoDev
@@JagoShogun pulling interviews out ur ass lmao
oh yes early dragon ball, when we were still fighting over a tournament rank, guns were lethal and in a good ol' 90s style a lot sexism and panty peeking
Wasn't dragonball in the 80s, not the 90s?
Thank god the bullet didn't get repelled through 25 episodes...
