"Ki Manipulation Techniques" (気功技; kikō-waza) are attacks that utilize the secret energy that lies hidden within one's body (ki). By utilizing this materialized energy converted from energy inside one's body, one can produce formidable special attacks. Ki is said to be possessed by everyone, although it is seen that not many are able to control it at will. Martial artists in the world of Dragon Ball frequently use many ki manipulated techniques with different names and forms. However, ordinary people have a low degree of familiarity with ki manipulation techniques, and Mister Satan interpreted the ki manipulation techniques that Son Goku used as being mere tricks.
By simultaneously firing energy blasts from point-blank range, the users' attacks increase in power several times past their ordinary levels. Ultimately, this attack is ineffective against the immortal Garlic Jr.[1]
Goten fires this technique against Trunks' energy wave during the 25th Tenka'ichi Budōkai. This technique is identical to the Kamehameha used by Goku and the others, with its only difference being in name (a simple misunderstanding or slip-up on Goten's part). Because Goten is not yet very skilled at controlling his energy waves during his match with Trunks, this technique destroys a part of the shrine on the tournament grounds.[2]
A technique for controlling one's ki devised by Kame-sen'nin, where the user condenses their ki in a single spot and fires it. Its power varies according to the strength of its user's ki, and by mastering the technique, the user can control its power. Goku is able to immediately learn this technique thanks to his ki training with his grandfather, Son Gohan, and his advantageous Saiyan characteristics. Since Tenshinhan is so easily able to imitate this technique, it can be said that so long as anyone is able to control their ki, they can perform the Kamehameha.[2]
By concentrating energy in their right hand and releasing it through the fingertips, the user can use their hand like a sword. With its red-colored energy, this technique is able to chop through anything. This technique is used against Piccolo in Dragon Ball Z Movie 5.[3]
This technique instantaneously amplifies the ki within the user's body, multiplying all their abilities such as power, speed, defensive power, etc. Because it is able to multiply the user's battle power many times over, it is extraordinarily effective when facing up against a formidable opponent. However, it's dangerous to go beyond doubling the technique, or to attempt Kaiō-Ken in high frequency, as this can destroy the user's body. If the user's battle power is 8,000, their limit is doubling the technique, and even with a battle power of 3 million, a multiplier of ten is the limit. However, when the combat is severe, Goku is forced to repeatedly push Kaiō-Ken beyond that. Although the technique was invented by North Kaiō, Goku is the first to be able to master it. The technique's first movie appearance is in Dragon Ball Z Movie 2 against Dr. Uiro, and Goku challenges Tullece with the Kaiō-Ken x10 in Dragon Ball Z Movie 3. The later movies do not specify a multiplier.[4]
During the Afterlife Tournament, Goku unveils this technique against Paikuhan. With this variation of Kaiō-Ken, the user's inner ki is amplified in an instant, drawing out their abilities even further. While in the Super Saiyan state, Goku holds the power to blow away attacks and corners Paikuhan with undetectable movement. Before he attains Super Saiyan 2, Goku uses this combined technique only once.[4]

Variations of Ki Manipulation Techniques
The use of ki is not simply used for the purpose of attacking, but can take various shapes based on the person using it. It can be used as a method of movement or to support various attack techniques. Just like the attack-based techniques, these methods of use are also rich with variation.
