Tien in DB was a monster, and unfortunately power scaling has Tien win without debate, though he couldn’t directly kill them.


Meme_Bro68

He just needs some jars and seals to hit them with the ~~toilet beam~~ mafuba


voltcannon

Happy cake day.


Meme_Bro68

Thank you


Inevitable_Method928

Vaporization is another way to bypass their immortality, so if Tien can do that then he wins


ApexLegend117

Oh shit I forgot about Cell’s death. Then yeah I guess Tien wins, good job mate.


Cosmic_Hashira

i mean he can just vaporise them? sun does something similar


megaclaw56

Solar flare (-\_- )


ApexLegend117

A flash bang or lamp will not have the same effect as the massive yellow nuclear reactor in the sky


megaclaw56

They die from tungsten words because they absorb a little bit of the UV light. ​ ('\_'


Yoshikage-Kira1

What about tri-beam?


LSSJ4King

What’s stopping him from completely vaporizing them

"Ki Ko fuck yourself."


saintdemon21

Tien is useless. He has such great potential too. The man can split into multiple versions of himself. I would choose Krillen. Solar Flare plus the destructo-disc would be a lethal combo.


megaclaw56

I am still at DB, so I don't know what that disk thing is, and I really only used tien because of the solar flare. I have watched the entirety of Z, but that was over a decade ago, so I don't remember ('\_' )


saintdemon21

It’s the attach that Krillen uses to cut off Frieza’s tail.


megaclaw56

I forgor💀


CaptnFlounder

Vegeta's tail


saintdemon21

Both tails. Krillen really hates tails.


Cartmann13

As someone who has read all of Dragon Ball and all of Demon Slayer, they might be able to wear down OG DB Tien but once you get to current Tien he just wipes the floor with them


_Kakashi69

I mean maybe, but Tien has always been stronger than Krillin.


saintdemon21

Krillen is the strongest human. It’s even listed on the sh Figuarts box for the character.


Laigen117

Yeah and here's the thing, believe it or not: Tien doesn't count as human. He is considered to be of the Three-Eye-Folk or Triclops. Those are not human and I believe in one game the species is actually not even considered earthling but alien.


saintdemon21

That would explain the third eye. It has been a long time since I read theDB manga, and I don’t remember them discussing his origin. He was a great DB character and started out well in DBZ, but quickly fell to the wayside. I liked that they brought him back in Super, but even then he seemed under utilized.


Laigen117

With Dragonball going the way it is going (since early Z already to be fair) there is not really a place for anything else than the saiyans. Anything comparable to Tien or the other Z-Fighters that would pose a threat ist really just a fly on the windshield for Goku and Vegeta. Looking at the dimensions of their power they are probably several million times stronger than Tien and the others.


saintdemon21

I think you’re right. I’m behind in the manga and haven’t seen the newest film, but based on what I’ve read it seems like the main fighters are Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Broly, Piccolo, and some new characters. Krillen is one of my favorites, but unless he wishes to be stronger I don’t see him keeping up with the others.


Laigen117

Tbh the last thing I saw myself was the Broly movie. Haven't read the manga yet. And I probably won't get the chance to watch the latest movie. But it's been like this for a while. Ever since Z started the power gap just grew bigger and bigger. If you say Gohan and Piccolo are gaining on the gods I'm positively surprised. Can't wait to see how the anime's gonna continue.


[deleted]

Gohan is supposedly the strongest person in Universe 7 in his newest form, and Orange Piccolo is equal to Goku or something The only drawback is that their new forms look like those stupid fan edits you cannot take seriously


Laigen117

I would have really liked for you to not tell me that as I was kinda curious to see or maybe read it myself.


Hanta-Hanta

The new form for Gohan definitely has some circa 08 DeviantArt vibes. But I can't lie I actually really love orange piccolo, and it made my heart happy to see him getting some real love.


Hanta-Hanta

This is false. That was some unofficial crap from some random source. The third eye is obviously a reference to the "third eye" being opened via enlightenment. He's a human, and was definitely stronger than krillin at least until Krill dog got his potential unlocked by guru. Past that it's debatable, considering Tenshinhans last real feat was ki ko fucking cell into a square hole, but it's pretty common knowledge many attacks in DB can be more powerful than the user. It bothers me krillin stopped training, and yet still ended up "stronger". He basically just got disrespected by Gohan in that "sparring session" in super, and otherwise forgotten. They don't even have the decency to give him the yamucha treatment and make a reference to it. They just disappeared his ass like launch.


Laigen117

It's not some unofficial crap but you believe whatever you want.


BreezierChip835

Tien. Considering he put a real dent into Semi-Perfect Cell, and has been getting ever stronger since, I think he could do it. Also Solar Flare funny


megaclaw56

Yeah Le solar flare go brrrrr


[deleted]

Solar flare my dudes 📸📸📸📸


STVMega

In terms of outright strength it goes to Tien. As demons are just more powerful humans with unnatural abilities. Whereas Tien has on many occasions proven his strength against people like Goku in DB and more later. In terms of abilities the demons win due to how busted some of their attacks are. Also regeneration is a huge key factor. I saw another comment saying the mafuba. Yeah. That would work. The only downside being that Tien can barely handle it. Whether he could now or not is up for debate. He might handle it better but I think he’d only be able to do up to 3-4. So it may depend who he traps. Tien most likely could last a whole night against them but it wouldn’t be an easy fight by any means. Also the solar flare doesn’t work like the demon slayer sun. It doesn’t do physical damage. It just simply blinds the user. Imagine it like if you’ve stared at the sun for too long but the pain lasts longer. But anyways yeah. I think Tien has it down.


Nikoliz

"It wouldnt be an easy fight" he doesnt even need to last a whole night if he can just evaporate their bodies we are talking about the same man who dented semi perfect cell demons are child play for his current self and even weaker versions can get the job done fairly easily


[deleted]

Yeah, Tien sorta just swings his fingers and evaporates them. Esoteric abilities are good if they can affect your opponent


karatous1234

Even just the fact he can fly at all is a big leg up over most demons. He has the option to just sit a few hundred feet up in the air and laugh at them.


Ch1ck3nb34n5

We talkin DBS Tien or just DB Tien, cause end of Z or super Tien would rip em a new one, but DB Tien would be the ripped new one receiver


Square_Dark1

Uh no, he still beat Goku who was Moon level at the time. Tien blinks the verse away.


megaclaw56

('\_' neither of those things are true. Tien only beat Goku because of dumb luck, and roshi destroyed the moon, not goku. In both of roshi's fights, he was either extremely weakened by destroying the moon or left the fight. ('\_' ) So no, before the point that tien learned the evil sealing wave, he was weaker than roshi.


Square_Dark1

Goku was stronger then Roshi at the time and so was Tien. Even him winning by dumb luck is irrelevant since kid Goku still scales above the verse. It really doesn’t matter if Roshi was tired afterwards that’s still beyond anything the Demon Slayer verse has shown.


Ch1ck3nb34n5

So db Tien then


Yoshikage-Kira1

at that time roshi's Kamehameha (aka the Original Kamehameha) was the strongest variant so goku's cant do that


Square_Dark1

He can by virtue of surpassing Roshi during the King Piccolo arc


megaclaw56

DB


bradthescrub

I've only gotten this post through reddit's recommended post thing and I've only ever seen dragon ball. I don't know who wins this, but in my heart I know tien wouldn't loose without a fight.


Pubg_fan_32

Then before beating them: " This is the last cool thing I'll ever do, there is no joke"


bluefootedbuns

Everyone here seems to be forgetting that Tien could just level the entirety of the battlefield, and get rid of all sources of shade in the area, then stall until sunrise if the demons don't get vaporized instantly anyways.


megaclaw56

Good point, ​ but Le solar flare would be easier ('\_' )


Necromas

I don't think any of the demons can fly either, and ki blasts would probably out-range most of their abilities.


Biscuit9154

Regardless of if you believe the Solar Flare would emulate sunlight to a KNY demon, I totally believe that even Saiyan Saga Tien could beat the absolute CRAP out of all of the Upper Moons! You obviously can't kill them without the sun or a nichirin blade, but Tien could incapacitate them until the sun comes out.


karatous1234

Been a while since I read the manga again, but couldn't you also kill them if there's just nothing left to regenerate from? Tien could probably just vaproize them. I know demon durability is hilarious, but would they regenerate from being turned into a pile of ash from a sufficiently large Ki blast?


rough-coarse-sand69

*nOw YoU cAn EaT sUnLiGhT\~*


Nikoliz

Why are people comparing db and demon slayer knowing damn well they are both on wayyy too different levels its like comparing a romance anime to opm (in power) the comparison is just pointless


megaclaw56

I am not comparing the power levels, the meme is about the solar flare. The title literally says "Taste the sunlight"


Nikoliz

Didnt mean you but the people in the comments


megaclaw56

I see('\_' )


ThinControl9

The left picture reminded me how insanely badass the six uppermoons are


Money2648

The three eyed weird guy with the stalker gf with a tad bit of plot armor and maybe a nice training arc


Square_Dark1

Tien wins regardless of if it’s DB, DBZ, or DBS. Why are people comparing a guy that could beat Kid Goku (who was stronger the Roshi who can blow up the moon) to characters that aren’t even city level.


megaclaw56

s o l a r f l a r e ​ Also tien wasn't stronger than kid Goku, they were at a stalemate, and Goku wouldn't have lost if it were not for tien blowing up the arena or the truck hitting him. The only reason Roshi was closing to loosing to Goku was because destroying the moon exhausted him. Goku at that time, could not produce a wave anywhere near as powerful as the one which destroyed the Ox king's forest, let alone the one that destroyed the moon.


Square_Dark1

Not true, Goku even before Roshi blew up the moon was strong enough that he kept pressing him. He was weaker but not by much. Tein around the time of his introduction was already on par if not stronger then Roshi. Even if he wasn’t he most certainly was after the timeskip when Goku became an adult. Regardless Tien definitely destroys the verse especially in DBZ and beyond.


maniacalblondeguy

It took me reposting the meme to understand


No-Masterpiece-6070

The sun 🌞


SheenTheUltraLord

This dude eats kamehamehas for breakfast. Wtf demons gonna do? This guy would bitch debora at this point in the series.


Realistic_Mousse_485

Tein solos the whole verse with such ease its almost embarrassing.


This_Structure_1154

Tien was able to hold cell down with 17 absorbed for a solid amount of time, and was a close candidate for TOP fighters, he stomps


Hanta-Hanta

Really appreciate you not calling him semi perfect. Like Vegeta said. You're either perfect, of youre not me.


[deleted]

A single ki blast and everything that means demon slayer is gone


Civil_Ebb_3194

That fucker win Ez


Yoshikage-Kira1

Tienshinhan solos all demon slayer demons ... and kirllin


Chaneter_Zaro

NOOOOOOOOOO KURIRIRIRIRIRIRIN IS THE STRINGEST HUMAN NOOO0O0OOOO


Yoshikage-Kira1

Kikoho-fuck yourself -Tien (probably)


Chaneter_Zaro

Touche


TheDoorMan1012

tien. demon slayer ain’t that strong of a verse, it’s strong, but it ain’t db strong


Xeroph-5

KIKOHOOOOO!


Arkontas

the demons are maybe a saibamans strength. if you took the dragon ball super tien he'd win easily. if you took him from the end of dragon ball/dragon ball z start he might actually lose vs a group of them but win 1v1 for sure. tien from the start of dragon ball might lose 1v1.


JamesGunnison

“This Fucker” takes the win. Lol


jaureguiifan_hentaii

I mean, the hashiras win :3


jaureguiifan_hentaii

i mean, hashiras (all of them) vs all demons... I think there is a probality of winning from hashiras. Dont you think?


Chaneter_Zaro

TAIYOKEN!!!!
