2nd Most Used Attack

Post by TheLastSaiyan » Sat Jun 26, 2010 9:13 pm

Ignoring generic Ki blasts and such, does anyone know the second most frequently used attack behind the Kamehameha (I assume this is first)? My initial guess is the Masenko since it is used by at least two characters, but again I'm not entirely sure. Any suggestions?

The Kienzan? It was used by 4 characters that I can recall.

Of course, that depends on if all disc-shaped ki attacks count as a Kienzan.

There's also the Taiyo-ken. That one's specifically used quite often by many different characters, all of whom had some access to its creator.

-Tenshinan used it against Jackie Chun
-Tenshinan used it against Goku
-Goku used it against Tenshinan
-Goku used it against Vegeta
-Krillin used it against Dodoria
-Krillin used it against Freeza
-Cell used it against Piccolo
-Cell used it against Trunks

I'm not sure on this list but if its right I'd say its a good choice for second used move.

If we can include the movies, the Genki Dama for sure would be up there.

The Masenko's only used once in the manga. Not sure how often it pops up in the anime.

I could've swore Piccolo used it against Freeza.

Guess not.

Bukujutsu is number one most used, so I'd say Kamehameha.

Piccolo in the 23rd budokai and Radditz would say otherwise. :P

But I see your point. In that case, it's the Kikoha, albeit mainly because of when it was used against Cell.

The Genki Dama was used a lot too

Main Story

2.Vegeta
3.Freeza
4.Buu

Movies
1.Dr.Wheelo
2.Tullece
3.Slug
4.13

GT
1.Baby uses it on a worn and torn Goku
2.Baby uses it again but this time Goku is SSJ4
3.Goku uses it on Yi Shenlong

I'm not sure if Oozaru Baby used it, but I do remember that he had the move as a finisher in BT3.

Baby's "Revenge Death Ball" is NOT a Genki Dama. It's a similar concept, yes, but it's not the same thing at all. Hell, it's not even the same color.

Baby has never used a Genki Dama. He's used the Revenge Death Ball, and Flaming Death Ball, which are sorta kinda similar to the Genki Dama.

The same reasons why you guys say it isn't a Genki Dama is the exact reasons why I considered it to be at least a form, or evil version if you will, of the move.

Also, Krillin used the Kienzan on Oozaru Vegeta. Poor Krillin, I keep forgetting about him. :lol:
