Gekitotsu
Buu Buu Volleyball:
A unique attack used once, by Gotenks and Piccolo. After trapping
Buu in a ball with Renzoku Super Donuts, Gotenks and Piccolo beat
the ball around a bit before spiking it really hard into the
earth.
Who can use: Gotenks, Piccolo
 |
Genkidama:
"Life Force Sphere", better known as the "Spirit Bomb" One of Goku's most powerful techniques, taught to him by King Kaio (Kaito-Kaiohsama), the Genkidama is a large ball of energy gathered from nature, humans, etc., which lend him their energy. However, it takes time to gather a Genkidama, and has to stick his arms up in the air, during which time Goku is open to attack. Who can use: Son Goku |
Gotenks'
Ultra Kicks, Punches, Headbutts, etc.:
These attacks are not particularly special, just punches and
kicks that Gotenks made up names for on the spur of the moment.
Their names range from the ethically acceptable, like: Rolling
Thunder Punch, Inoshishi (Wild Boar) Attack, Power Tackle and
Great Kick Special, to the utterly ridiculous, like: Magnum
Sundae, Ultra Missile Parfait, and Hyper Plasma Shortcake. None
of them are particularly useful, at least not in the fight in
which they were used.
Who can use: Gotenks
Guruguru
Gum:
This technique is used by Giran in the 21st Tenkaichi-Budokai; he
spits up a strange sticky substance at his opponent. The Gum then
wraps around the victim, inhibiting his movement.
Who can use: Giran
Haikyuken:
A technique used against Goku by Tenshinhan in the 22nd
Tenkaichi-Budokai. Tenshinhan treats his opponent like a
volleyball and hits him around volleyball style.
Who can use: Tenshinhan
Hankokubikkurisho:
This is a fairly strong ki attack used by Jacky Chun (Mutenroshi)
He shoots the blast forward using both hands and traps his victim
in a shocking field of energy from which his opponent cannot
escape (normally.) This techinque was only used in the 21st
Tenkaichi-Budokai.
Who can use: Mutenroshi
Haretsu
no Maho:
This is the magic spell used by Babidi to make people explode. It
only works on weak people though; on tougher fighters like the Z
fighters it is ineffective.
Who can use: Babidi
Hasshuken:
Inspired by Tenshinhan's Shiyoken, and Chapa-oo's move of the
same name, Goku moves his arms fast enough so there are like
eight, and he attacks with all eight at once.
Who can use: Son Goku, Chapa-oo.
| Hell's
Flash: In order to fire a blast with the 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 can use: Artifical Human #16 |
 |
 |
Honoo: "Fire Breath" 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 can use: 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 can use: Son Goku, and probably Krilin, 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.
Who can use: Son Goku
Jinruizetsumetsukogeki:
"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 can use: 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 can use: Son Goku |
Kakusandan:
This technique was used by Kulilin during the fight with Nappa
and Vegeta, 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 can use: Kulilin
Kakusanyudokodan:
A potentially devastating maneuver, the user of this attack fires
many ki bolts a la Renzoku Energy Dan around his opponent,
surrounding him, then controls the bolts so they all shoot toward
their target.
Who can use: Piccolo
Kamehameha:
"(Kame=Turtle
/ Hame=School, Sect / Ha= scream emited to free stored ki) Turtle
School/Sect Wave Attack"
 |
Quite possibly the most commonly used special technique in all of the DB/DBZ series after the Generic Ki Blast. The Kamehameha needs no introduction, but what the hell. It was created by Mutenroshi 50 years before Goku appeared, and Goku learned to do it just by looking at it at the age of 10. (By the way, no matter what people say, I think the best Kamehameha ever shot was the one Master Roshi used to destroy Mt. Frypan.) It was the first ki technique used in the series, even though according to the series' chronology, the Kikoho is older |
| It's charged up
held behind the firer in cupped hands, then brought
forward to release a large blast of energy, just like the
Hadouken in SFII. Goku later develops the ability to
control the direction of the blast, shoot one from his
feet, or with a single hand, shoot several from the same
blast and leave'em ecstatic in one place to activiate'em
at distance. Also, he later develops a Cho-Kamehameha
with even more power than the standard fare. The
Kamehameha is one of the most versatile techniques ever
created, and can become incredibly strong. Goten can use
it as well, but misprounounces it as
"Kamekameha" when he uses it. Kamehameha is
also the name of the first hawaiian emperor, but I'm not
sure if there's any link with the technique... Who can use: Mutenroshi, Goku, (Old) Son Gohan, Yamucha, Krilin, 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 can use: Practically everybody! |
 |
Kiai:
This technique is used simply by yelling really loud; it
disperses weaker ki attacks.
Who can use: Tenshinhan, Goku.
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 can use: Son Goku, Freeza
