(There's something to be said about Dante's confidence...whether it says good or bad things has yet to be decided, but it certainly says things. That smirk of his doesn't seem to help much, either. As the massive energy wave approaches, he stretches his arms and cracks his neck, bracing himself...

...There is most certainly an explosion upon impact and as is the case with most DBZ explosions, it takes close to forever a few minutes for the dust to clear, but once it does, there's a very visible Dante standing exactly where he's been the entire time. He's noticeably charred and smoking, though.)

(He starts dusting himself off.)

You burned my coat a little...guess I got to give you credit for that.
