Not only did he kick his shoe fast enough to deflect a bullet and not interrupt his stride, but he also aimed it thru the assassins turban to kill the person that hired him
Sadly, if you listen closely, you can hear very faint noises coming from the second man. Maybe he is silent in the japanese dub, but in english, he is still portrayed alive.
can't we just agree that the classics and the modern stuff has gems littered throughout the decades of animation. There's really no reason not to be able to enjoy anime made in recent years. There's awesome stuff in there too.
Part of me wants to cry foul that a merciless villain like Tao would let some one who tried to kill him live... but then again he is an ASSASSIN and nobody paid him to kill these two so it arguably makes him look all the more professional. Besides He's clearly so hyper aware that his life was never in any actual danger, and by letting these two live to tell the tale his own reputation grows.
@@aaroniic hmm... maybe I always thought the bullet only went through there hats. The hole is lower on the second though so maybe he's dead. Either way though Tao didn't kill the first, the one who actually fired the gun, which was what surprised me most.
I hate people who say this. There's no physics breaking law here. It's 100% POSSIBLE to change the direction of a bullet. It ricochets off things all the time.
I love Tao's instinctual flinch at the moment the gunshot sounds. He was the first TRUE supervillian. Having watch DB thru DBZ through DB Super since I was a child, I'd have to say Its the subtleties of the db universe that make you know you're in for a hell of a fight. From Tao alllllll the way to Jiren. Dragonball is the SHIT
My favorite villian has always been Freeza, but I agree that Tao Pai Pai is highly underrated. A cool little piece of backstory to the character that many fans might not be aware of is that it was Tao who murdered Mr. Satan's master at a bar. It was the witnessing of his master's murder that made Mr. Satan into the cowardly figure he is portrayed in DBZ. All of that information is official, stated by Akira Toriyama in an interview.
If you watched db super as a child then you're still a kid, so I have to wonder why you watched any of it because it's basically all before your time. I was watching that shit when I was in high school and I'm getting close to 50 now. I would have thought dbs would miss every possible target demographic, everyone would be either too old to care (especially since it's really bad) or too young to have seen the original series.
I kinda miss when Dragon Ball was a WORLD with different type of people, now it's just a generic town and when places get blown up the impact isn't as grave. It was just cool seeing new places and peoples.
That was dragon ball, Dragon ball z was an intergalactic battle Royale where trying to place to place and seeing all of these different types of people wasn’t the main focus as much anymore compared to the original dragon ball.
@@silence6813 Tao probably spared him as a fellow hitman's courtesy. After all, he was just hired to kill Tao. The guy who put out the contract deserved to get dealt.
He probably didn't hear it, because yeah, bullet is usually much faster than sound, but he really noticed that tiny bit of change in his surroundings. At least, that's the way I see it. He's not a normal human like us, after all
Oh, MAKE. I thought for a moment you were saying you would riot if they made him into a female. That wouldn't be without precedent considering what they did to Dr. Who and the toilet drain western comics are circling down after all.
@@NightmareZzK*Says in a non jerky way* WDYM? I’m talking about the whole deflecting the bullet with his shoe/slipper it wasn’t in the Manga it was anime Filler therefore it’s not Canon Simple
I believe this culture is made-up and mixed, like Namek. Buildings in desert, guy wearing sunglasses in desert with sniper instead of sword, camel and trucks, weird bay trees(?)...
0:55 He deflected a bullet and continues walking like nothing happened. No wonder he's a living legend assassin in Dragon Ball. (Seriously, what does the Soles of his shoes made of? Pure Flexible Steel?)
tidusmi2 It does not matter. It was worn by Tao. Thats enaugh XD. Give a guy a dead butterfly and he will break concrete wall with it. He can split tank in half by pissing on it. Its just Tao.
@@angelvillegas9604Bora (whom Mercenary Tao EASILY killed) was seen TANKING massive amounts of bullets with his stomach and chest. So no, you’re wrong… It wouldn’t effect him.
Imagine if he was in the Tournament of Power. I mean yeah they were literally all stronger than him, but obviously I mean if they went back in time, let him train, and he didn't kill
He either missed or just felt like sparing the guy for whatever reason. Maybe cause he not only did he take the job to kill him but tried it just a few feet away.
Definitely Tao as I do believe mercenary Tao could hold his own or maybe even beat neferpitou considering his insane speed feats and strength feats but that's just my opinion.
You know it makes me wonder why didn't they just pick Tao instead of Roshi he was way younger & way more capable man literally had an arm cannon finisher.
@@thepirateking4823 I mean honestly even knowing that i don't see why anyone would be disappointed or even care really. Just because this scene isn't "cannon" doesn't make it any less badass nor does it take from his character.
The guy gets around by throwing pillars/trees and surfing on them.

Very smart of Tao to kill the guy whp put out the hit, and not the hitman himself.

This dude has mad skillz that not even god goku, jiren or even whis could ever attempt to do.
Sometimes it's not all about power level

I'm sad that they don't show the Dragon Ball characters in DBZ and the newer stuff that much
Me too, I was hoping for some characters from the first DB.

You're forgetting that Tao has PTSD of Goku.
@@matt13r1 well that’s not gonna happen since he’s gonna be in U7 with goku
even if we assume Tao trained and had powered up enough to join ToP... there is still a problem, Tao likes killing, and killing is not allowed in ToP.

Lesson?
...He should had used an Silencer.

1) I'd like to meet his cobbler. 2) Would it make sense to keep bringing him back as a recurring villain?

Guns only works on people who's not superpower.
