Persuasion

Persuasion is a technique used by several members of the Dragon Team.Daizenshuu 7, 1996 Mr. Satan is a master of this technique due to his ability to con the general population of Earth.
==Overview==
A user of persuasion is incredibly persuasive and are able to bring anyone to understand and feel for their viewpoint and can convince others of virtually anything. Users of persuasion usually use this ability in attempts to have other people give their energy to a Spirit Bomb.
==Usage==
Mr. Satan uses this ability throughout the Cell Games to save face in front of Jimmy Firecracker, his cameraman, Miss Piiza, and his students by claiming the abilities utilized by the Z Fighters and Cell were tricks and/or staged using things like wires and explosives. He also utilized it as part of his Miracle Kneel where he pretends to be unable to fight due to a stomachache (which he uses often enough that the general public view it as a chronic condition). After Gohan defeated Cell, Mr. Satan used it to convince the people of Earth that he defeated Cell, leading him to be hailed as the Savior of Earth. 
However, his ability to deceive others doesn't work on members of the Dragon Team and Cell as they recognize that his strength pales in comparison to their own. Additionally, his daughter Videl is only partially fooled and reveals to Gohan that she suspected her father didn't actually defeat Cell given his personality after she stated to realize he was the boy that fought Cell. 
In the anime, when Goku was trying to gather energy for the Super Spirit Bomb to defeat Kid Buu, Goten, Gohan, Trunks, and Piccolo headed to different places around Earth to try and convince people to give their energy to Goku. However, they failed. However, Mr. Satan succeeds where they failed due to his ability to convince the people of Earth, they were sending their energy to him (which they readily believed as they considered him Earth's savior) after admonishing them for refusing to give their energy earlier.
