12 Eyes (Aka Shishin no Ken or the Multiple Images)
This technique is used by Tenshinhan to split himself into four
different parts. Each Tenshinhan created is not just an image
like that created with the Zanzoken, but can fight and be
attacked. The only problem with the 12 Eyes move is that each
Tenshinhan only has a quarter of the power and the speed than if
there was only one.
Used by: Tenshinhan, Cell
Bakuhatsuha
By raising two fingers, the user of this attack can create a
large explosion that will totally decimate the surrounding area
or the ground under an opponent.
Used by: Napa, Vegeta
Barrier
This purely defensive technique forms a Ki-shield around the
body that protects the user from Ki or similar attacks. There
are two forms of this maneuver. One is a spherical shield that
surrounds the body, the other is more of a coating of the body.
Used by: Freeza, #17, Cell, Vegeta
Big Bang Attack
One of the first techniques Vejiita developed as Super Saiya-jin,
the Big Bang attack is a huge ki bolt of incredible destructive
power. Vejiita holds one flat palm forward towards his enemy and
launches the bolt. The attack that took out #19.
Used by: Vegeta
Body Change
This technique is used by the leader of the Ginyu-tokusentai,
Ginyu. Ginyu spreads his limbs out, shouts "Change!"
and shoots out a bolt of energy, and if it hits its target,
Ginyu changes bodies with that person. Ginyu then gains the
strength and speed of his target, but not his special techniques
or ki. After changing bodies, Ginyu can still do a Body Change.
Ginyu will change bodies with the first person to hit his change
beam, and thus if someone gets in the way of his intended
target, Ginyu will change bodies with that person instead.
Used by: Ginyu
Bukujutsu
Not exactly a fighting technique, this is the ability to fly
with one's ki. Since almost all of the fights in the second
series occurred at least partially in the air, this technique is
used all the time during fights, as well as being used to go
from place to place. The only characters in the first series
that could use it since their first appearances were Tenshinhan,
Chaozu, and Piccolo. (and maybe Pooalu?) Almost every one of the
other characters learn to fly eventually, and by the time DBZ
comes around, every major character could.
Used by: Anyone who fights in DBZ except Yajirobe and Mister
Satan.
Burning Attack
Future Trunks' trademark ki attack, this is a powerful energy
blast shot from both hands. Trunks holds both hands forward,
does some strange arm moves, and then puts both hands forward
again, index fingers and thumbs touching. Then he releases the
blast.
Used by: Future Trunks
Chaozu's Chonoryoku
A very unique technique, Chaozu puts both hands, or a single
hand forward and can manipulate the bodily movements of his
opponent to an extent, providing his opponent is not too
powerful. He can stop someone's movements or cause internal pain
with this technique.
Used by: Chaozu
Chobakuretsumaha
This is Piccolo's ultimate Ki blast. He powers up the blast
between the palms of his hands in front of his chest, then
releases the blast. Very very powerful. This blast is known as
"Gekiretsukodan" in the DBZ video games.
Used by: Piccolo
Crasher Ball
A lot like the Genki-dama that Gokuu gave to Kurilin, the
Crasher Ball is a ki-ball that is produced from the palm of the
hand. I don't think one ever actually connected during the
series though, it was just used as a diversion.
Used by: Jace
Daichiretsuzan
This is a very powerful attack that Freeza uses. With a swipe of
his hand with two fingers extended, he creates an invisible
cutting beam that goes a long way. Its name comes from the fact
that it slices a huge cut in the earth when he uses it.
Used by: Freeza
Death Ball
This is a small ball of energy which Freeza can create from
either the tip of his finger or with both hands. While small, it
is very powerful, and can even destroy planets.
Used by: Freeza
Dodonpa
One of the major techniques of the Tsurusennin, this is a blast
shot from one finger, which explodes upon impact. The most basic
Dodonpa is more powerful than the most basic Kamehameha, but the
Kamehameha can become more powerful. After being defeated by
Gokuu, Taopaipai develops this technique into the Super Dodonpa.
I don't think this technique was ever used after the first
series.
Used by: Chaozu, Tenshinhan
Double Tsuihikidan
This is a move that Kurilin developed for use during the 23rd
Tenkaichi-Budoukai. He shoots a Kamehameha-like blast from each
hand, then can guide the blasts toward his enemy.
Used by: Krillin
Dynamite Kick
Mister Satan's trademark attack. A charging kick. Being one of
Mister Satan's attacks, this one is pretty much useless. Gotenks
used it once too, (whether or not he was copying Satan is
debatable) and it was likewise useless.
Used by: Mister Satan, Gotenks
Enemy transformation
By shooting an energy field from his head-appendage, Majin-Buu
can change the form of his enemy into something else, normally
candy or some other form of food, by saying "[insert item
here] ni natchae!" (Fat Buu) or "[insert item here] ni
nare," (Super Buu) literally meaning, "become a
[insert item here]" This is without a doubt Buu's most
common attack.
Used by: Majin-Buu
Energy Kyushu
The trademark technique of #19 and #20. The Artificial Humans
can absorb energy, either from people's bodies or their ki
blasts, through the holes in the palms of their hands. However,
without their hands, they cannot perform this technique.
Used by: #19, #20
Eraser Cannon
This is one of the most powerful techniques of Racoom, one of
the members of the Ginyu-tokusentai. It is a large, powerful Ki
blast shot from the mouth, and can destroy in a very large
radius from where it hits.
Used by: Racoom
Eye Beam
Not a particularly interesting technique, but was used enough
during the DB/DBZ series that it deserves to be put here. It is
basically a double ki blast shot from the eyes. While the blast
itself is small, it explodes on impact to do a fair amount of
damage, and can also be used to stop other ki blasts.
Used by: Piccolo, Freeza, #20
Freeza Beam
This is Freeza's trademark technique. It is a lot like the
Dodonpa, being a beam of energy shot from one finger, but
differs in that it does not explode on impact. Instead it is a
piercing attack which continues through its target and can also
be used to slice.
Used by: Freeza, Cell.
Fusion
This technique is used to fuse two people into a single person,
and give the fused person a huge power boost. Anyone can do the
Fusion, but you have the same power as whoever you fuse with,
and you must learn the correct pose and form. It's easy to make
a mistake and fuse into something far weaker though. The Fusion
lasts for 30 minutes before the fused person becomes two again.
15-Dai Kaioshin has a special set of Potara (earrings) which
allow people to fuse without the pose, and that lasts forever.
Son Goku and Piccolo know how to do it without the Potara but
never actually did the move.
Used by: Goku and Vegeta, Goten and Trunks
Fusenko
This is a move used by Kurilin during the 22nd
Tenkaichi-Budoukai. Kurilin draws in his breath while falling
down, puffing himself up and slowing his fall. Can be used to
gain a good defensive advantage.
Used by: Kurilin
Galactica Donut
This is a ki attack used by Gotenks used to trap enemies. It is
a ring of ki energy that Gotenks can control to change size of
the diameter of the donut. The Donut can be used to surround the
enemy and trap him by holding his limbs with the donut. Super
Saiya-jin 3 Gotenks can use an adaptation of this attack, the
Renzoku Super Donuts.
Used by: Gotenks
Galick-Ho
The Galick-Ho is Vejeta's answer to the Kamehameha. He powers
up the blast like the Kamehameha, but when he releases the
blast, his hands are both palm-forward.
Used by: Vegeta
Gekitotsu Buu Volleyball
A unique attack used once, by Gotenks and Piccolo. After
trapping Buu in a ball with Renzoku Super Donuts, Gotenks and
Piccolo beat the ball around a bit before spiking it really hard
into the earth.
Used by: Gotenks and Piccolo
Genki-dama (Spirit Bomb)
One of Gokuu's most powerful techniques, the Genki-dama is a
large ball of energy gathered from nature, humans, etc., which
lend him their energy. However, it takes time to gather a
Genki-dama, and has to stick his arms up in the air, during
which time Gokuu is open to attack. This attack is used
sparingly because of the amount of energy need to make it.
Used by: Goku
Gotenks' Ultra Kicks, Punches,
Headbutts, etc.
These attacks are not particularly special, just punches and
kicks that Gotenks made up names for on the spur of the moment.
Their names are: Rolling Thunder Punch, Inoshishi (Wild Boar)
Attack, Power Tackle, Great Kick Special, Magnum Sundae, Ultra
Missile Parfait, and Hyper Plasma Shortcake. None of them are
particularly useful, at least not in the fight in which they
were used.
Used by: Gotenks
Haikyuken
A technique used against Gokuu by Tenshinhan in the 22nd
Tenkaichi-Budoukai. Tenshinhan treats his opponent like a
volleyball and hits him around volleyball style. (Note: See the
episode with this technique if you get a chance. Tenshinhan's
falsetto is a riot!)
Used by: Tenshinhan
Hankokubikkurisho
This is a fairly strong ki attack used by Jacky Chun (Mutenroshi)
He shoots the blast forward using both hands and traps his
victim in a shocking field of energy from which his opponent
cannot escape (normally.) This technique was only used in the
21st Tenkaichi-Budoukai.
Used by: Master roshi
Haretsu no Maho
This is the magic spell used by Babi-di to make people explode.
It only works on weak people though; on tougher fighters like
the Z fighters it is ineffective.
Used by: Babi-di
Hasshuken
Inspired by Tenshinhan's Shiyoken, and Chapa-oo's move of the
same name, Gokuu moves his arms fast enough so there are like
eight, and he attacks with all eight at once.
Used by: Son Gokuu, Chapa-oo
Hell's Flash
In order to fire a blast with the most power, #16 takes off his
hands, tucks them under his arms, and fires a powerful blast
from the cannons under his wrists.
Used by: #16
Honoo
Not a particularly important technique, but this is one of
Dabura's more powerful blasts. It's just what it says, a
powerful breath of fire.
Used by: Dabura
"Invisible" Jumping
First used against Kurilin in the second Tenkaichi-Budoukai that
we see, Gokuu uses this attack to become "invisible."
He jumps back and forth so fast that you cannot see him, then he
stops jumping for a surprise attack.
Used by: Son Gokuu, and probably Kurilin, since Gokuu said
he would teach him
Jan-Ken Punch
"Jan-ken-pon" is a Japanese game identical to that of
"Rock, Paper, Scissors." Gokuu then has three
different types of Jan-Ken Punches:
· Jan-Ken-Gu: Corresponding to "Rock," "Gu"
is a strong punch to the face.
· Jan-Ken-Choki: Corresponding to "Scissors," "Choki"
is an eye-stab with two fingers.
· Jan-Ken-Pa: Corresponding to "Paper,"
"Pa" is an open-handed slap to the face.
Used by: Goku
Jinruizetsumetsukogeki
Literally "Genocide Attack," this is not an attack
that can be used in the heat of battle but is probably one of
the single most devastating attacks ever used in the DB/DBZ
series. It is a series of ki blasts shot into the air, which
seek their targets upon being fired. After looking down on the
Earth from the Tenkai, Majin-Buu used this technique to kill
every human on Earth.
Used by: Majin-Buu
Kaioken
Taught to him by Kaio-sama, this is primarily a power-up move.
When Gokuu uses this technique, he flares up and gains a large
boost to his speed and power. Gokuu can also use multiplied
power to his Kaioken. At first, he shouldn't have been able to
go past 2 x Kaioken without seriously endangering himself, but
eventually can increase the power of the Kaioken to around a 20
x Kaioken. Note that except in the TV series, Gokuu doesn't use
his Kaioken as a Super Saiyajin.
Used by: Goku
Kakusandan
This technique was used by Kurilin during the fight with Nappa
and Vejiita, and is actually somewhat of an adaptation of an
attack he used against Piccolo in the Tenkaichi-Budoukai. What
he does is shoot a blast from each hand. Then he controls the
blasts so that they merge and then directs it above the heads of
his enemies. Thereupon he splits the blast again into many
smaller ki bolts which rain down upon his enemies. A very
effective technique which wiped out virtually all of the
Saibaimen.
Used by: Kurilin
Kakusanyudokodan
A potentially devastating maneuver, the user of this attack
fires many ki bolts a la Renzoku Energy Dan around his opponent,
surrounding them, then controls the bolts so they all shoot
toward their target.
Used by: Piccolo
Kamehameha
Quite possibly the most commonly used special technique in all
of the DB/DBZ series, the Kamehameha is a technique created by
Mutenroshi. It is a ki blast, which to start is charged up held
behind the firer in cupped hands, then brought forward to
release a large blast of energy. Gokuu later develops to ability
to control the direction of the blast, shoot one from his feet,
or with a single hand. Also, he later develops a Cho-Kamehameha
with even more power than the standard fare. Goten can use it as
well, but misprounounces it as "Kamekameha" when he
uses it.
Used by: Master roshi, Goku, Gohan, Yamcha, Kurilin,
Tenshinhan, Cell, Cell Junior, Goten, Majin-Buu
The Generic Ki Blast
This technique is not particularly special, but is used so much
in the Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z world that it at least needs to
be mentioned. The Generic Ki Blast is shot from the hands, and
explodes on impact for a lot of damage. This is by far the most
used technique in the DB/DBZ series, next to standard punches
and kicks.
Used by: Practically everybody!
Kiai
This technique is used simply by yelling really loud; it
disperses weaker ki attacks.
Used by: Tenshinhan
Kiaiho
An invisible force attack that knocks one's opponent back. It
can be shot either from an open palm or from the eyes.
Used by: Goku, Freeza
Kienzan (distructo disc)
This is another attack that is used quite frequently during the
second series. It is a flat, disc-shaped Ki blast, which can be
used to slice through its target with deadly accuracy. The
Kienzon can also be controlled by the firer.
Used by: Krillin, Vegeta, Freeza, Cell, #18
Kikoho
This is Tenshinhan's strongest Ki blast. Tenshinhan puts the
tips of his fingers of both hands together, forming kind of an
"O" between his fingers and his thumbs. Then he shoots
a very powerful Ki blast through the "O" at his
opponent. While this attack is very powerful, it is also
extremely damaging to Tenshinhan, and can kill him if he uses it
too much. Later on Tenshinhan develops this technique to become
the Shinkikoho, which is even more powerful.
Used by: Tenshinhan, Cell, Cell Junior
Ki no Tsurugi
Literally "Sword of Ki." This is a ki beam that shoots
out somewhat as an extention of the hand and can be swung and
stabbed to cut or pierce enemies. The length of the beam can be
controlled by the user.
Used by: Vejeta
Kintoun
While not really an attack, Kintoun was used a lot by Goku in
earlier battles to get him out of tight situations. Kintoun is a
magic cloud created by Karin-sama. If you have a pure heart, you
can ride the cloud and fly by controlling it mentally. If your
heart is impure, you just fall right through it.
Used by: Anyone with a pure heart
Koshoku
Coming from the planet of darkness, Yakon can "eat"
light using this technique. In fact, he caused Gokuu to go from
Super Saiya-jin to normal by "eating" his light.
However, if he eats too much...
Used by: Yakon
Kyodaika
This is a technique used by Piccolo during the 23rd
Tenkaichi-Budoukai. With this technique Piccolo can grow his
body to a huge size, making the range and strength of his blows
much more effective. Of course, this makes him a larger target
as well.
Used by: Piccolo
Kyoken
This attack's name is kind of a pun; it technically is "Mad
attack," but also can mean "Mad dog" when spelled
with a different Kanji. Gokuu acts like a mad dog, barking and
charging at his enemy to scare him, then jumps over him and
kicks his surprised enemy from behind.
Used by: Goku
Mafuba
This is a special Ki blast that is used to imprison demons. It
is a swirling blast of energy shot at the intended demon. Once
caught in the blast, the blast is directed into a jar, bottle,
or other imprisonment container, thus imprisoning the said
demon. However, if the container is opened, whoever is trapped
inside will be freed. This technique is also extremely draining;
it is very easy to kill oneself by overexertion using this
attack. The originator of this technique is Mutaito,
Mutenroshi's master.
Used by: Mutaito, Master roshi, Tenshinhan, Kami-sama
Makankosappo (Special Beam
Cannon or Drilling Attack)
One of Piccolo's most powerful techniques, this is a penatrating
blast shot from two fingers. It is actually two blasts, one
going straight ahead and the other coiling around the first for
drilling power. This attack drills through everything it hits,
and eventually blows up when it hits something big enough.
Used by: Piccolo, Cell, Cell Junior
Makosen
This is a Ki blast that is used by Piccolo-Daimao. Piccolo
gathers ki into both his arms, then fires a blast from each, one
after the other. Not a particularly powerful attack when
compared to some of the later moves, but it almost killed Gokuu
once.
Used by: Piccolo-Daimao
Masenko
This is Gohan's trademark energy blast, and is fairly powerful.
Gohan powers up a blast over his head with both his hands, one
palm behind the other, then brings his hands down in front of
him to fire the blast. Gohan used this blast fairly often during
the second series, especially during the Freeza saga.
Used by: Son Gohan
Metamorphosis
This is not really an attack, but a body transformation. You
think of something (or someone) you want to turn in to and then
yell: "Transformation!!" (I don’t know how it is
said in Chinese) and it with a lot of concentration you turn in
to it. Depending on how hard you train for this technique is the
time you’ll have the power for turning into the thing you want
to.
Used by: Oolong (only 5 minutes!), Puar
Mystic Attack
This is an attack first used by Piccolo during the
Tenkaichi-Budoukai. Using the Namek ability to extend their
arms, he extends his arm at his enemy from a distance, thus
surprising them. Once Piccolo grabs his opponent, he draws him
back for an attack like a punch or a kick.
Used by: Any Namekian
Nyoibo
Not exactly a technique, but Gokuu uses his Nyoibo a lot in the
first DB series. The Nyoibo is a magic staff that has the power
to extend up to 380,000 kilometers upon command. At first Goku
said "Bo yo, nobiro!" (Hey, staff, extend!) but later
changed to "Nobiro, nyoibo!" (Extend, Nyoibo!), Goku
stopped using it when it was needed to hold up either Korin's
tower or Kami's lookout(i forgot which one).
Used by: Probably anybody, but only Goku uses it
Papparapar
This is a magic spell that Babi-di can use to teleport people in
his spaceship. Actually, he teleports the entire room, with the
people in it, to another place.
Used by: Babi-di
Pi
This isn't an energy blast or anything, but a stream of air that
moves so quickly that it just bores through just about anything
that it hits.
Used by: Freeza, Cell
Rogafufuken
This attack is Yamcha's trademark technique; after preparing
himself in a special stance, attacks with many
"claw-like" punches and kicks, finishing off with a
double-fisted "claw-punch." After training with
Mutenroshi, Yamcha improves on this technique to become the
Shin-(new)Rogafufuken.
Used by: Yamcha
Rolling Satan Punch
Satan curls up into a ball, rolls along the ground, then punches
his opponent. Being one of Satan's attacks, this one is pretty
much useless in a "real" Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z
fight.
Used by: Mister Satan
Renzoku Energy Dan
While many characters can use this technique, the undisputed
master of this technique is Vegeta. The user of this technique
can shoot ki bolts continuously from his hands, resulting in
somewhat of a "machine-gun ki blast" effect. While the
indivual blasts are not particulary powerful, the effect of
hundreds together can be devastating.
Used by: Vegeta, Goku, Son Gohan, Piccolo.
Renzoku Shine, Shine Missile
This is Gotenks' adaptation of the Renzoku Energy Dan technique.
Basically the same, but a whole lot more powerful.
Used by: Gotenks
Racoom Kick
A charging knee blow used by Racoom of the Ginyu-tokusentai.
Rather powerful.
Used by: Racoom
Racoom Mahha Attack
The punch equivalent of his Kick, the Rikum Mahha Attack is a
charging punch.
Used by: Racoom
Saiko no Kogeki
Literally "Ultimate Attack," this is the Ki blast that
Nappa shoots out of his mouth. Very powerful.
Used by: Napa
Saimin no Jutsu
This is a technique that Jacky Chun can use to hypnotize someone and affect his
or her mind. He used it agains Otoko-ookami during the 22nd Tenkaichi-Budoukai.
Who can use: Master roshi
Saruken
Much like Mutenroshi's "Suiken," this is primarily a "distract
and avoid" technique; Gokuu acts like a monkey, using monkey-like attacks
(scratching, bouncing, etc.) and taunting his opponent at the same time.
Who can use: Goku
Satan Special Ultra Super Megaton Punch
Mister Satan's "Ultimate" attack. Really just a normal punch. Mister
Satan forgot the name of this attack almost as soon as he had made it. Used
against #18 in the 37th Tenkaichi-Budoukai.
Who can use: Mister Satan
Sekikatsuba
This is one of Dabura's powerful attacks. Dabura's saliva will turn whatever
it hits to stone, be it alive or not. The only way to reverse the petrification
is to kill Darbura.
Who can use: Darbura
Shiyoken
This is a technique used by Tenshinhan to sprout an extra set of arms from his
shoulders. Therefore he can both attack and block with all four arms, significantly
increasing his attack and defense power.
Who can use: Tenshinhan
Shogekiha
This is almost exactly like the Kiaiho. It is an invisible blast shot from the
eyes, hand, but is a little more versatile, and can be shot from any part of
the body. Piccolo (Jr) can adapt this attack to radiate from his entire body.
Who can use: Piccolo, Kaiou-shin, Majin-Buu
Shunkanido
Not a fighting technique, but often used to gain a tactical advantage in a fight.
The Shunkanido is a teleport. The user places two fingers on his forehead, searches
for a ki he wants to go to, then when he finds it, can teleport there. It is
not a technique that one can use to teleport wherever he pleases; there must
be a person there to teleport to.
Who can use: Son Gokuu, Cell
Sokidan
This is a round energy ball shot from the palm of the hand. What is really special
about this attack is that it is guided, probably the most easily guided energy
attack in the first series. I think it was only used once, during the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budoukai.
Who can use: Yamcha
Spinning Cyclone
Gokuu only used this technique once during the first Tenkaichi-Budoukai in the
series. He spins around at a very fast speed, at which point he turns into somewhat
of a cyclone and knocks into his enemies. It didn't work too well because he
got too dizzy. I guess that's why he never used it again.
Who can use: Goku
Suiken
This technique is used by Mutenroshi; he acts drunk and wobbles around. Thereby,
he confuses his opponent, and hits them when they are off guard.
Who can use: Master roshi
Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack
One of Gotenks' strongest techniques, he spits out a ghost-like form closely
resembling himself. The ghostlike form has a mind of its own, and when it hits
anything, it explodes, severely damaging whatever is caught in the blast.
Who can use: Gotenks
Taiyoken (Solar Flare)
This technique is originally Tienshinhan's. The user puts his hands in front
of his face, says "Solar Flare," and lights up very bright, so much
that he blinds his opponent. This technique was used a lot througout Dragon
Ball Z.
Who can use: Tenshinhan, Gokuu, Krillin, Cell
Tenkubekejiken
The user of this technique jumps high in the air, then on the way down, face
forward with his arms in an "X" position, landing on his opponent
with the arm "X." A very powerful technique when use on upon those
without any special fighting powers.
Who can use: Namu
Time Freeze
This is an attack used by Guldo, the smallest member of the Ginyu-tokusentai.
When he uses it, he freezes time for his opponents so that they are frozen in
whatever position they were in. However, he needs to keep his attention on his
victims in order to keep them frozen. Guldo also has the power to stop time
completely, but for only a moment, and he can't do it for too many times without
tiring himself out.
Who can use: Guldo
Tsuihidan
This is another technique used by Piccolo during the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budoukai.
It is a ki blast, and it tracks its enemy much like Kurilin's Double Tsuihikidan.
Who can use: Piccolo
Udebunrikogeki
The user of this technique pulls a piece off of his body and controls it to
attack his opponent in some way. Naturally, only Majin-Buu can use this technique.
Who can use: Majin-Buu
Yoikominminken
This was a technique used by Jacky Chun during the 21st Tenkaichi-Budoukai.
It is a hypnosis technique used to put people into a deep sleep, by using a
strange voice and hand motions.
Who can use: Master roshi
Yokaieki
This is a technique used by the Saibaimen. They split their head in two and
shoot a stream of acid from it, which is very dangerous if it hits its target.
Who can use: Saibaimen
Zanzoken
Another technique created by Mutenroshi, with this technique, the user can move
so fast he leaves an after-image, while attacking from another standpoint. Gokuu
can also leave multiple images, I think the maximum he used was around 7 or
8 in Karin's tower. Later Mutenroshi learns to make large numbers of images
as well.
Who can use: Goku, Master roshi, Krillin, Tenshinha
