Since Saiyans get way stronger whenever they're injured to near death then brought back, why didn't they just keep injuring each other then have Dende or somebody heal them back to full again instead of training for the Cell Games?

Is there a limit on how powerful you'll get just by that method or something?

For the same reason Ash didn't just use Pidgeotto/Noctowl/Swellow/Staraptor to destroy Team Rocket's balloon every time they tried to escape and instead used complicated plans involving the potential for failure.

Or they could just keep eating senzu beans (sp?) afterwards.

And why didn't Gandalf and Frodo just fly the eagles into Mordor?

You have no time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball.

Isn't there an actual reason for that one?

Didn't Vegeta take advantage of this boost, though?

Nazgul would wreck their ****. If Sauron knew where they were they'd all be dead.

Well uhhhhh

Frieza did blow Namek, it just took a while to actually explode, and Cell and Buu didn't want to destroy Earth, that was never their goal.

Well yeah, but their actual goal wasn't to destroy Earth, I think, that was just a byproduct. Wasn't Cell's goal just to test himself and Buu's to find strong people to fight? And by "destroy Earth," we both mean the physical world Earth, and not all of the people on it, right?

Vegeta literally had Krillin blast a hole in his chest so he could fight on even terms with Freeza.


You probably know how that one worked <_<

Because you are playing with fire, you succeed, your best and strongest fighter gets a power boost, you fail, you just lost your best and strongest fighter.

maybe the powerboosts stopped scaling with their level?
or the boost provided by their SSJ form outweighs any boost they can get from training like that
..
why did I miss talking like this

Cell wanted to destroy the Universe'

So yeah, they wanted to destroy Earth

But in the short term, didn't both of them want just want to fight a lot? I recall Super Buu trying to wait patiently while Gohan and Trunks (or whoever) trained in the super fast time room.

It's not like healers or senzu beans are growing on trees. Limited supply and if it's going to take time to recover, you might as well just train. The boost may not be as much (I'm not sure how it compares to the near-death boost) but you still get stronger.

I remember reading somewhere that the power boost is not a percentage but a fixed amount. That would mean it lost its use after they reached a certain (high) power level.

That could've been an inane comment on some forum, so take that thought with a grain of salt.

Why doesn't Plankton just buy a Krabby Patty / have someone buy it for him?

Cell wanted to fight, Buu didn't care so much. He vaguely remembered Goku promising him a strong fighter, and the only reason he waited to fight Gotenks at all was because of Videl.
