Cell
Fusion: This is used to fuse two people into one person, giving that
fused person a great power boost. Anyone can do it, but you have the same power
as who you fuse with, and there is a proper pose and form. It is easy to make a
mistake and fuse into something far weaker than expected. It will last for one
half hour before the fused person will once again split into two people.
15-dai-mae Kaioshin has a special pair of earrings that allow people to fuse
without the pose, but it lasts forever. Son Goku and Piccolo can do it without
the earrings, but never attempted.
Who can use this technique: Son Goku,
Piccolo, Goten, Trunks
Fusenko: This is a move Krillin used in the 22nd
Tenkaichi Budokai. He sucks in a breath as he falls, puffing up and slowing the

Krillin
Galactica Donut: An attack Gotenks uses to trap enemies. It is a

Renzoku Super Donuts, Gotenks and Piccolo play volleyball for a while before
spiking it into the ground.

Piccolo
Genkidama (Spirit Bomb): This is one of Goku's most powerful
techniques. It is a ball of energy Goku gathers from all things on Earth;
humans, animals, plants, even rocks lend their energy to Goku to from the
Genkidama. But to form one, he must raise his hands in the air and hold them
there for a period of time, leaving him open to attack.
Who uses this
technique: Goku
Gotenks' Special Kicks, Punches, and Tackles: These are
moves that Gotenks named for no particular reason: Rolling Thunder Punch, Wild
Boar Attack, Power Tackle, Great Kick Special, Magnum Sundae, Ultra Missile
Parfait, and Hyper Plasma Shortcake. Despite the extravagant names, none proved
very useful in battle.
Who uses this technique: Gotenks
Guruguru Gum:
A technique used by Giran in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai, Giran spits a sticky
gumlike substance at his opponent. The gum wraps around the opponent, making it
much harder to move.

Tenshinhan used against Goku in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai. He treats his
opponent like a volleyball, hitting him around volleyball style.
Who uses
this technique: Tenshinhan
Hankokubikkurisho: A fairly strong technique
in which Mutenroshi shoots a blast forward using both his hands, trapping the

escape. This technique was only used in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai.
Who uses
this technique: Mutenroshi

is appears there are eight, and they attack with all eight.
Who uses this
technique: Goku, Chapa-oo

most power, Artificial Human #16 takes off his hands, tucks them under his arms,
and fires a powerful blast from the cannons under his wrists.
Who uses this
technique: Artifical Human #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.
Who uses this technique: Dabura
"Invisible" Jumping*: First used against Kulilin in the second
Tenkaichi-Budokai, Goku 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.
Who uses this technique: Son Goku, and probably Kulilin, since Goku
said he would teach him.
Jan-Ken Punch: "Jan-ken-pon" is a Japanese game
identical to that of "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Goku 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.
Who uses this technique: Son
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.
Who uses this technique: Majin-Buu
Kaioken:
Taught to him by Kaio, this is primarily a power-up move. When Goku uses this
technique, he flares up and gains a large boost to his speed and power. Goku 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, Goku doesn't use his Kaioken as a Super Saiyajin.
Who uses
this technique: Son Goku
Kakusandan This technique was used by Kulilin
during the fight with Nappa and Vegita, and is actually somewhat of an
adaptation of an attack he used against Piccolo in the Tenkaichi-Budokai. 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.
Who uses this technique: Kulilin
Kakusanyudokodan: A
potentially devastating maneuver, the user of this attack firer many ki bolts a
la Renzoku Energy Dan around his opponent, surrounding them, then controls the
bolts so they all shoot toward their target.
Who uses this technique:
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. Goku
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
Who uses this technique:
Mutenroshi, Son Goku, (Old) Son Gohan, Yamucha, Kulilin, Tenshinhan, (Young) Son
Gohan, Cell, Cell Junior, Son 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.
Who uses this technique: Practically everybody!
Kiai:
This technique is used simply by yelling really loud; it disperses weaker ki
attacks.
Who uses this technique: 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.
Who uses this technique: Son Goku, Freezer
Kienzan: 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 Kienzan can also be controlled by
the firer.
Who uses this technique: Kulilin, Vegita, Freezer, Cell,
Artificial Human #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.
Who uses this technique: Tenshinhan, Cell (anime only),
Cell Junior (anime only)
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.
Who uses this technique: Vegitt
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.
Who uses this
technique: Anyone with a pure heart
Koshoku: Coming from the planet of
darkness, Yakon can "eat" light using this technique. In fact, he caused Goku to
go from Super Saiyajin to normal be "eating" his light. However, if he eats too
much...
Who uses this technique: Yakon
Kyodaika: This is a technique
used by Piccolo during the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai. 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.
Who
uses this technique: 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. Goku 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.
Who uses this technique: Son 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 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.
Who uses this technique: Mutaito, Mutenroshi,
Tenshinhan, Kami-sama
Makankosappo: 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.
Who uses this technique:
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 Goku once.
Who uses this
technique: 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 Freezer saga.
Who uses this technique: Son Gohan
Mystic Attack: This is an attack first used by Piccolo during the
Tenkaichi-Budokai. Using the Nameck 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.
Who uses
this technique: Any Nameck-seijin
Nyoibo: Not exactly a technique, but
Goku 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!)
Who uses this technique: Probably anybody, but
only Goku uses it.
Papparapar: This is a magic spell that Babidi can use
to teleport people in his spaceship. Actually, he teleports the entire room,
with the people in it, to another place.
Who uses this technique: Babidi
Rogafufuken: This attack is Yamucha'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, Yamucha improves on this technique to become the
Shin-(new)Rogafufuken.
Who uses this technique: Yamucha
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.
Who uses this technique: Mister
Satan
Renzoku Energy Dan: While many characters can use this technique,
the undisputed master of this technique is Vegita. 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.
Who uses this
technique: Vegita, Son 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.
Who uses this technique:
Gotenks.
Rikum Kick: A charging knee blow used by Rikum of the
Ginyu-tokusentai. Rather powerful.
Who uses this technique: Rikum
Rikum Mahha Attack: The punch equivalent of his Kick, the Rikum Mahha
Attack is a charging punch.
Who uses this technique: Rikum
Saiko no
Kogeki: Literally "Ultimate Attack," this is the Ki blast that Nappa shoots out
of his mouth. Very powerful.
Who uses this technique: Nappa
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-Budokai. Who can use: Mutenroshi Saruken: Much like Mutenroshi's
"Suiken," this is primarily a "distract and avoid" technique; Goku acts like a
monkey, using monkey-like attacks (scratching, bouncing, etc.) and taunting his
opponent at the same time.
Who uses this technique: Son 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 25th Tenkaichi-Budokai.
Who uses this
technique: Mister Satan
Sekikatsuba: This is one of Dabura's powerful
attacks. Dabura's saliva will tun whatever it hits to stone, be it alive or not.
The only way to reverse the petrification is to kill Dabura.
Who uses this
technique: Dabura
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 uses this technique: 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 uses this
technique: Piccolo, Kaioshin, 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 uses this technique: Son Goku, 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-Budokai.
Who uses this technique: Yamucha
Spinning Cyclone*: Goku only used this technique once during the first
Tenkaichi-Budokai 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 uses this technique: Son Goku
Suiken: This is 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 uses this
technique: Mutenroshi
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 uses this
technique: Gotenks
Taiyoken: This technique is originally Tenshinhan's.
The user puts his hands in front of his face, says "Taiyoken," and lights up
very bright, so much that he blinds his opponent. This technique was used a lot
througout Dragon Ball Z.
Who uses this technique: Tenshinhan, Son Goku,
Kulilin, 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 used
upon those without any special fighting powers.
Who uses this technique:
Namu
Time stop: This is an attack used by Guld, 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. Guld 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 uses this technique: Guldo
Tsuihidan: This is another technique used by Piccolo during the 23rd
Tenkaichi-Budokai. It is a ki blast, and it tracks its enemy much like Kulilin's
Double Tsuihikidan.
Who uses this technique: 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 uses this technique: Majin-Buu
Yoikominminken: This
was a technique used by Jacky Chun during the 21st Tenkaichi-Budokai. It is a
hypnosis technique used to put people into a deep sleep, by using a strange
voice and hand motions.
Who uses this technique: Mutenroshi
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 uses this technique: Saibaiman
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. Goku
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 uses this technique: Son Goku, Mutenroshi, Kulilin,
Tenshinhan
