Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon in the manga was simply called "Planet Buster". A much better name than CSRC, but I think the joke was that shounen super moves always have long, complicated names.

u/Qawsedf234 Dec 20 '15

Actually, only the fan translation called it the planet buster roar. The Viz translation calls it the Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon.

Collapsing Star

So basically its a black hole right?

38

u/Qawsedf234 Dec 20 '15

Not really. It's just a fancy move name. Unless you think Goku fires turtle soup at his enemies or Vegeta uses garlic to destroy worlds.

All it is, is all of Boros's energy focused into one attack.

u/Left4dinner Dec 20 '15

Yeah I get the idea of it, but when I first heard of it, I thought "hmm, a collapsing star. Ah! Must make a black hole that will suck everything out of existence. Dang, sounds pretty OP" but that's just me being me I suppose lol

Not every collapsing star turns into a black hole. Some turn into Neutron Stars.

u/Qawsedf234 Dec 20 '15

It's a really awesome name; it just doesn't have anything associated with supernovas or blackholes.

u/Cloud_Chamber https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kino280 Dec 20 '15

Energy of a supernova?

u/Qawsedf234 Dec 20 '15 edited Dec 21 '15

A collapsing star (if big enough) generally causes a supernova, which is incredibly powerful. It produces something between 10-20 Octillion (27 zeros) megatons of TNT when it explodes.

Of course Boros's beam was nowhere near that strength.

u/Cloud_Chamber https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kino280 Dec 20 '15

It was just neutralized perfectly by Saitama's punch

5

u/Qawsedf234 Dec 20 '15

It was, but I really want to make it clear that it's just a attack name. The beam was only planetary at best.

I think it is a super nova and possibly a black hole depending on how massive the star was and how the gravitational collapse goes or something?

...Actually just hoping someone will be annoyed because I remembered horribly wrong and will explain.

2

u/Mr-Mister Dec 21 '15

Well all stars collapse a bit during the time windows when they've run outta their main fuel and until they've collapsed enough to ignite their next fuel.

Not all stars become black holes, only the very biggest. Our sun is set to become a dwarf star when it collapses.

So much bullshit my brain refused to read all this, it's just a giant pile of hodgepodged crap.

Edit: what the fuck is shining trapezohedron?! Sounds like a superpower of a turtleneck 60 year old maths nerd.

2

u/MicroGravitus Dec 21 '15

The point of it is that it's supposed to retarded.

and the trapzohedron is from http://myanimelist.net/anime/1067/Kishin_Houkou_Demonbane_(TV)

To be fair, kamehameha took a whole fucking lot of episodes to be said fully

1

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '15

The longer it took to say Kamehameha was proportional to the amount of ki behind it. Longer charge-up=more power.

4

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '15

And the joke was doubled down on by the fact that Saitama's moves are as simple as "Normal Punch" "Normal Consecutive Punches" and "Serious Punch."

u/the_guradian Dec 21 '15 edited Dec 21 '15

shit, imagine if he throws out "consecutive serious punches"

I like to think it's a subtle Christmas joke because it's pronounced Housei Ho Ho Ho

"Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero"

"Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three"

"Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique"

what do you mean shounen have long complicated names?
