Dragon Ball: Saga Of The Strongest Human 15 Thoughts On Meditation

´That really hit the spot. Unbelievable, how good this tasted´, he thought with a satisfied smile.

He looked at his stomach and patted it three times. Then a small burp came out.

"That really was good. Thanks for the treat.", he said to Bulma.

Bulma, on the other hand, could still not believe how much he ate. Where in the world did that food go to? A bottomless abyss?

"You are eating a lot, huh?", she said a little bit wondering if all boys were such ravenous eaters.

Darc looked at her and grinned. "Nah, it was just too tasty that I had to grab as much as I could get. Who knows when I will get something like this again? If I would eat like this every time I would get fat pretty fast just like anybody else."

Bulma stayed silent. He had a point on that she thought.

"Come to think of it, it is pretty amazing that you are still so lean with all that.", said Bulma at him to underline her thoughts.

She shook her head and continued. "Alright, I will show you your room where you can stay later. Just come by my room when you are finished doing whatever you want to do. I doubt you want to go to sleep so soon. I myself am gonna go and also finish some things up."

"Thanks, I will just do that.", said Darc with a nod to her.

Then Bulma stood up and went away. The direction she went seemed to be her room.

Darc himself also slowly parted ways with his chair and went around the house. It was still weird that he couldn't see Dr. Briefs anywhere and that no one really bothered about that he was walking around in this house.

After looking at his watch at some point. He noticed he still had a lot of time until Dr. Briefs was finished and he couldn't just wander around for eternity. So he decided since he couldn't do much else, he would train his meditation state.

Going around punching stuff to train his body would get him into trouble for sure. So meditation it is.

Back when he was 4 he never really could enter meditation but now it was a completely different matter.

Meditation was in a way a method to train and control the movement of one's ki inside the body. And he did not have any ki to use at that time. But he does now and he also learned some concept of the energies. To move them he had to feel them.

So he sat down cross-legged on the ground near a wall so he wasn't in the way and put both his hands in front of his abdomen. He closed his eyes slowly and started meditation.

Through closing one's senses to the outer world one could perceive the changes of the inner body very clearly. Controlling and guiding the inner energies into different paths and parts of the body made for different results.

In his case, Darc uses the energy in form of ki. But mana would pretty much be the same. The one ist just primarily trained through the body and the other with one's mind.

Coming back to the different usages. Enlarging one's meridians, for example, is one such usage of the energies.

The meridians are points and little paths that run through the whole body. Its where the energies are flowing through. You could imagine them as hundreds of little coffee machines placed at various places in the body and they all start to work when kir tries to go through them to make coffee. That coffee is the energy one uses later for power. Just like that the ki trickles through all those little points and ca.n.a.ls.

So putting large amounts of ki inside and letting them rampage inside the meridians could result in a temporary boost of one's strength but because the amount of ki inside the meridians rages on and basically just slowly damages them, it makes it pretty exhausting to keep the stamina up to remain and such a state. When worse becomes worst. You could permanently damage them and would lose the ability to make the best use of the energies.

Another mention is the muscles become really rigid at that state and you lose a lot of your flexibility. It would become a disadvantage in actual fights more than one way.

The legendary Super Saiyan, for example, is someone that had inborn large amounts of ki with reasons yet unknown. Darc´s theory, for now, was that Broly was born with un.o.bstructed meridians. Those are pretty rare since they don't stop the flow of your energies at all and still manage to get the most out of your juice. Basically, the pure undulated power of all your energies can explode without hindrance.

Those large amounts of energies rampage inside of the meridians of Broly. And that without mercy. So without strenuous training to control these energies, it would naturally end up giving birth to the legend of an unstoppable force. Rampant and berserk just like Broly was in the end. Coupled with the Saiyan body const.i.tution it was just that. A legendary state.

That's probably what made him so fierce. Darc couldn't explain it to himself any other way.

Darc´s own meridians were pretty narrow and only let a little bit of his actual power out. Everything else was just used up in pushing that power outside. Even after training his body and mind for a few years he only managed to widen them up in marginal amounts.

And do take note every single meridian takes time on its own. To Unlock all his meridians completely he would probably still takes years but it definitely would be worth it.

Anyways, that is where the importance of meditation comes into play.

Unlike with exercising the body and strengthen the meridians with pure force. Meditation can be used to refine the inner energies, making them many times purer.

Since the meridians are connected together and are small ca.n.a.ls, once one could filter ones own energy to the extreme, the purer energies would then affect the meridians as well.

The purer energies would grow with every circulation through the body. They widen and strengthen the meridians even further. Basically unlocking them completely. Not only that but also do take effect on one's body in a whole as well. That is because the meridians are basically the body itself. The purer the meridians in ones body the stronger and purer the body itself becomes.

The amount of ki becomes also higher. Resulting in higher battle powers.

Darc thinks Saiyans basically use their Zenkai boost to do the same and force the refinements of their energies after pushing themselves to the limit. The thing is they also have a robust body to accompany them in those acts and make it really look easy to make fast breakthroughs.

The Saiyans probably just have an inborn talent to communicate with energies. Darc thought that this also probably was the reason they have so many transformations with different colors of hair. It really wasn't just a coincidence that these colors weirdly enough represent the seven colors of the main chakra gates.

Red = Saiyan G.o.d

Yellow = Super Saiyan

Green = Legendary Super Saiyan

Light Blue = Super Saiyan G.o.d

Deeb blue = Ascended Super Saiyan G.o.d

Rose/Violet = Supreme Deity

White/Silver = All chakra gates open / True G.o.d / YingYang / Ultra Instinct

The only one he couldn't see yet was the sacral charka of orange. Every other color was shown in the hair color of Sayans. It was like a mirror of their current state.

And that meant everybody strong enough could reach these states on their own. Or there basically wouldn't be any G.o.ds of destruction in this world if that wasn't true.

It also would explain why Jiren had a fiery red aura. He was someone who pushed his root chakra energies with his meditation.

----

Darc noticed all these facts after falling into deep meditation and thinking about the reasons why Saiyan are so superior?

No wonder Piccolo did pretty much keep up in power at the start of the z saga and came pretty much close to the Super Sayan 2 degree in strength. Sadly, he never really seemed to find out its real importance and didn't push on.

He could have still become an important fighter later on. That at least was what Darc thought.

But all this only were Darc his theories. What it will really bring him will be seen in the future.

But he does have to note one thing though. It takes a lot of time to refine said energies. It's like watching a trickling hourgla.s.s that is as big as Mount Everest. Slowly but surely. But with every breakthrough one came closer to perfection and one's lifespan would probably also increase.

Or why else does Beerus live so long? It's definitely not only because of his t.i.tle. He didn't believe that. Beerus seemed to push for the next G.o.d of Destruction after all and plans to retire. He wouldn't really risk his life for that.

----

Some time pa.s.sed after he fell into deep meditation. If one could feel energies it would be obvious to see that around Darc a thin layer of white fluid like energy was sitting and slowly floating upwards.

Out of the sudden that energy was interrupted and he was thrown out of deep state meditation because he heard a yell that was directed at him.

"Darc!", yelled Bulma to him again. She was talking to him but he looked like a statue.

"Hmmm....", let Darc out and opened his eyes. "What is it!? Didn't you see I was in meditation?", he said annoyed.

Bulma heard his words and felt wronged again. She got angry after noticing he thought she was a nuisance "Well sorry that I disturbed you being a statue.", she said grumbling. "Do that in your room and not here. Come, I will show you"

She didn't wait for him started marching off.

Darc sighed and stood up to follow her. He felt actually tired anyway. So it was good to go to sleep early today.

After reaching a room, Bulma pointed to it and immediately left after that.

Darc actually smiled bitterly. He thought about it a little. Bulma actually came by to see if everything was alright and he flared up at her after she woke him up from meditation. Guess he deserves that cold treatment from her now.

He entered the room and lay down on the bed after stripping some of his clothes and soon after fell asleep.

-----

The next morning Darc woke up very early. He slept well.

After stretching a little he took out some new clothes from his capsule, dressed up and left the room.

He came back at the living room and already saw Dr. Briefs sitting and smoking a cigarette on the couch.

´Dont tell me he is already finished?´, Darc thought and came closer.

"Good morning, Dr. Briefs.", he greeted him.

Dr. Briefs looked at him. "Well, good morning to you too, Darc." Then he took out two dragon b.a.l.l.s and the dragon ball radar from his lab coat pockets and placed them on the table. He smiled "The radar you wanted me to make is finished and look, there was actually a Dragonball in our warehouse. So the radar does work."

Darc his eyes glittered. He took the Dragon radar and pressed its b.u.t.ton a few times.

Just like he expected with more than one activation one could see different ranges of scans.

But what actually was more convenient was that another ball was already found so fast.

He wondered though if that would deviate the canon too much? Well, he didn't mind for now. It's not like they can't find them later on or anything. He just needs to make sure if the other b.a.l.l.s are around the other canon places that he at least puts some of them back to their origin like the 4-star ball.

"Thank you Dr. Briefs! This will help a lot. And now I only need to find 5 more.", Darc said with a grin to him.
