No Love For Attacks

Post by Kikoha Hater » Thu Oct 25, 2007 6:08 pm

Since the later part of the Dragon Ball series, many unique technique have been litter within the use of generic “ki blast” attacks, however there were some techniques that were more subtle in presentation then the name shouting kamehamehas and endless ki slinging. After looking back at the ultimate dbz page attack list I found a few attacks that didn’t even deserve a name for example “Kuuchyu Teishi-A move used by Gokou. When an opponent punches him, he disappears and appears directly above them ready to attack”. So why don't you all give some insights on some techniques that were special enough in either functionality or appearance that you felt should have been given a proper official name but never did.

Here's my list.

Kuririn
Kienzan- This varition as far as I know appeared only in the anime (correct me if I'm wrong :oops:). After Kuririn unleashed a barrage of kienzans (aptly named Renzoku Kienzan) at Freeza, he fired one last disk which divided up into several disk as it approached Freeza.

Majin Buu (Good)
Hurricane Dash- Buu dashes through the entire city leaving a trail of ki behind him destroying everything in his path. While was given a name in the video games (Budokai and Super) it was never acknowledged by any official sources (manga, daiszenshuu, ect).

Majin Buu (Junsui)

Absorption Kikoha- Another attack that appears only in the anime, It first made it's debut when Buu two times first when fighting Yamucha and Kuririn in the Afterlife and lastly against the Super Saiyan 2 Goku. While generic in appearance it has little quirk to it as it’s able to absorbs incoming ki blasts and increase in power.

#18
Electric Wave- This attack also appeared in a filler scene, after a confrontation with a biker she gets angry and shoots electricity to the ground scaring the biker gang away.

#17
Water Blast- While Piccolo and 17 fought underwater, 17 powered shot a massive water-based attack at Piccolo.

Kishime
Electric Whip- While Ebifurya and Misokatsun attacks were given names, Kishime was left to dry. He spouts gel-like whips from his body that conducts electricity.

Neiz
Electric Blast- Niez charges electricity in his hands fires it at Piccolo. It not only shocks him put seeming stuns add to that it's seems long lasting.

#14 and #15
Kikoha Combined-14 and 15 combined their energy into giant ball of energy.

I dislike all of the instances where an attack was randomly changed, like Final Flash in the Buu Saga, along with Big Bang Attack.

Originally, Big Bang Attack was a blue orb, but Vegetto fires it as a blue beam, like a one handed Kamehameha.

And while Majin Vegeta and Goku are fighting, Vegeta uses a Final Flash, but he fires a giant orb instead of a giant golden beam.

Well, I don't really think it matters with Final Flash, since all it is is a violent surge of almost all of the user's ki. In the Cell Games, a Cell Jr. "catches" a Final Flash and it turns into a giant mass of energy that just floated around.
