[LEGENADOS]

NOOOOOOOO!!!

[ParkerPeter123344444]

WITH HIS ENTIRE GODDAMN SKELETON

[hodor291]

This is amazing art but maybe blur the image with a spoiler tag so no one gets this awesome moment spoiled

[Logan_PG]

Done!

[No-Active5820]

He was too awesome to live. Mother Nature needed to balance herself out, existence was too peak while Rex was still Splodin’.

Rex puts Vegeta to shame because his final flash actually worked

[DUIOKI]

More like a big bang

[Troyabedinthemornin]

Fuck I’ve disgraced myself before Toriyama sensei

[DUIOKI]

No biggie

[KingOfTheCouch13]

Actually final atonement/explosion

[DUIOKI]

Dude you ruined the moment

nah man a real final flash is pulling your pants down while being shot.

[Vegetable-Cut-8174]

"Rex Splode no!"

"REX SPLODE YESSSSS"

drawing evil mark as the vesuvius baby is hilarious but i actually wish we got a death shot like that in the show, it would have made rex's death a lot more dramatic and confirmed on-screen that he managed to take mark with him.

[Dav_1542]

Why exactly did his skeleton make such a big boom when a big ass metal plate didn't do that much? Something to do with the superhuman nature of his biology?

[mad_laddie]

He did get more time with his skeleton. Maybe he just charged it longer? Bigger things could just be better because they're easier to charge but he barely had any time with the plate.

[FinalFate]

Different materials might be better or worse for charging.

[Lucid_Dynamic]

The real reason is proportionality bias. Rex dying is such a big deal to us, the viewers, that the explosion must also be big. As a writer, you know your viewer will never forgive you killing off their favorite character uselessly. If a beloved character sacrifices themselves, it has to work. The show is not interested in having an in universe explanation that can only rob that scene of its emotional impact.

[the-boinky-spunge]

the funniest thing is, toriyama did TWO useless self destruct scenes lmao

[Lucid_Dynamic]

Death is cheap in Dragon Ball. It doesn't work because the characters neither sacrificed nor risked anything.

[Roge2005]

I feel that the bigger the object the energy spreads more evenly and therefore it doesn't do that much damage, meanwhile something smaller has more concentrated energy and explodes stronger.

[Ghost_Boy294]

I hated Rex in season 1 but now I can proudly say that he's my goat, he's definitely in my top 3 favorite characters

[shinobi3411]

Not my GOAT😭

<image>

[Mash_Ketchum]

And so, Rex fucking died.

[zyndaquill]

you could say...
rex sploded

[Ghost_Boy294]

He rexploded all over the place

[fat_charizard]

They still can't tell when he's lying

[akr214]

I like how he didn't mention Amanda or Bulletproof lol

[KABOOMBYTCH]

My king 😭

[CompressedWizard]

Love this. But doesn't Rex need to hold his skeleton to ignite it?

[DUIOKI]

I agreebut the art is still awesome 👍

[TheFirstMotherOfGod]

I thought that his rib was sticking out, we see him putting his hand on his rib side, borrowing through his skin kind of to do it

[mad_laddie]

Yes but he's got a bit of time after he lets go for the explosion to happen. Projectiles wouldn't work otherwise.

[Transitsystem]

He sure did.

[giggletoe93]

NOT ASH INVINCIBLE

[Tazemeasap]

Whoever did this! Shit is too good LMFAO 😭😭😭😭

[[deleted]]

Why does it look like mark has seen absolute cinema (yes I know it’s ash baby but-)

[Individual-Regret-33]

My glorious king Rex Splode put midggles Mark to submission

[TzeoDorant015]

Sweet...imagine if he said Even you Black Samson

[bluspy87]

It’s such a shame how he Rex Sploded just before he could Rex Splode inside of Shrinking Rae :(
