Roshi further explained, "it amplified any dark thought (anger, malice, aggression) and caused it to expand until his opponent's heart, LITERALLY EXPLODED!", as this was warrior's fate, as told by Roshi, "It was the death of a great hero, and birth of an even greater evil". At the time, it seemed that Goku would become its next victim, however Devilman (and Goku's friends) were in for a surprise. Devilman attempted to use this attack ("twice") to destroy Goku, but it failed ("both times"), as Goku had no negative thoughts to exploit (as Goku is pure of heart).
