| The Basics Before we get into the techniques, we must define several basics that are a necessity in most of the techniques listed here. Not all techniques require these basics, but it is necessary to understand when reading them. KI or CHI: KI is a word that frequently is mentioned in the world of Dragonball. It is the personal life energy within an individual and plays a very large role in most of the attacks used in Dragonball. Characters use it to fly, as a source to channel large energy attacks, to "sense" other characters around them and determine their power level, where they are, their intentions, and if they are hurt or are going to die (this is performed by sensing other warrior's KI "signatures.") Characters can suppress and increase KI to their capacity (all of the Z warriors are accustomed to fighting in various KI levels, thus masking their true abilities) and can increase the power of an attack by simply "KI"ing up (increasing KI power at will) or charging up an attack (the Kamehameha is a good example of this). Most of the attacks you will see are KI attacks, not physical attacks. Flying (Bukujutsu): In the beginning of Dragonball, hardly anyone could fly. In fact Goku used Kinton to soar in the air and get to other places. It was not until DBZ that characters began to normally fly with ease. Almost every character in Dragonball Z was able to do this. As Son Gohan would put it: "Bukujutsu," the Japanese term, means the art of flying. Flying is accomplished by using KI energy to levitate and move around the earth. It is a small ingredient in many of the techniques used in battle. Now that you know the basics we can go on to the actual techniques. |
