A gag assassination sounds unlikely to result in actual death.

Considering the fact that Goku was almost killed by a similar attack and their freaked out response to it I think it's kinda safe to assume a hit would have worked.

The fact that Goku is vulnerable to assassination is one of the funniest things Super has established. For all you can argue about Goku vs Superman apparently Hawkeye could take his rear end out if he got a chance.

i mean he would have to have a laser or energy arrow or something, goku is pretty impervious to hard rounds.

Superman is also vulnerable to assassination

you just need some kryptonite right

everyone with kryptonite is super incompetent with it though. It's like with Spiderman and guns.. I don't care how hard his spidersense is generically telling him something is going on, a few thugs with guns would wreck him if he didn't have impeneterable plot armor

youre not faster than a BULLET YOU FRAUD YOU CANT DODGE THOSE

goku can, though

Spider-man is faster than bullets he can dodge them long after they've been shot. He's about as fast as Roshi was initially shown to be when he was catching machine gun bullets out of the air.

Spiderman has spidy sense, that works as limited precognition. He is not ultra fast, he can react to things before they happen.

Spider-Man is both ultra-fast and has limited precognition which stack. There are versions of Spider-Man without spider sense (most recently the Scarlet Spider) who none the less are capable of out-dodging bullets just on response time.

How long before did Goku die in that timeline again? And how much longer before that was the last time the Pilaf gang actually had any contact with Goku in the first place?

I'd probably forget after all that time too.

If he was faster than a bullet then he'd be super overpowered and we never see that kind of ultraspeed anywhere else

I feel like one or two good snipers could do the job, with enough distance.

I still wish Mai shooting the earring would have paid off somehow. It felt like that was such an obvious out--have the earring crack and that becomes the excuse for the Double Zamasu fusion going bonkers. Like, it's right there, it's so easy, but no.

If we're gonna give context, let's give context. Those were bullshit homing bullets that he'd already dodged numerous times. He didn't up and decide to catch 'em for funsies. Second, that's from a story called The Other which is literally about him Zenkaing into a new form, so he's way more like Goku than you give him credit for.

Spot on about Mai though. The Black Goku arc had a ton of cool moments that all seem like they should connect thematically, but most of the time they don't. The Mafuba and fusions are good payoffs, but they don't matter at the conclusion.

Yeah, but that's true for most Dragonball Z arcs. Hell, look how long it too for the Spirit Bomb to actually work on someone, or how basically worthless Piccolo fusing with Kami was. Or Ultimate Gohan.

Yeah, it's real. He messed up on grabbing one so when he closed his hands, one bullet went through one of them.

But as stated, Spider-man does not just have Spider-sense, he's absurdedly fast and can move way faster than a regular person to the point of being able to dodge bullets after they've been shot. As I said before, he's like "Master Roshi catches machine gun fast" in a general sense, to the point where when he goes "all out" other absurdedly fast people like Captain America or Wolverine can't see him move. He's basically a lot like Vash the Stampede with spider-sense subbing for ultra mental caculations.

Comic just have one billion writers as opposed to manga, so one guy will come in and have a regular thug punch him in the face because his spider-sense is off or something, forgetting that they'd still be moving in slow motion to him.

Even the -movies- showed that when he's zoned in, he sees everything else in slow motion:
