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 krillin during the fight with Nappa and Vegita, 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: krillin
Kakusanyudokodan: A potentially devastating maneuver, the user of this attack firer many ki bolts
a la Renzoku Energy Dan around his opponent, surrounding them, then controls the bolts so they
all shoot toward their target.
Who can use: Piccolo
Kamehameha: Quite possibly the most commonly used special technique in all of the DB/DBZ
series, the Kamehameha is a technique created by Mutenroshi. It is a ki blast, which to start is
charged up held behind the firer in cupped hands, then brought forward to release a large blast of
energy. Goku later develops to ability to control the direction of the blast, shoot one from his feet,
or with a single hand. Also, he later develops a Cho-Kamehameha with even more power than the
standard fare. Goten can use it as well, but misprounounces it as "Kamekameha" when he uses it
Who can use: Mutenroshi, Son Goku, (Old) Son Gohan, Yamucha, krillin, 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
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, Freezer
Kienzan: This is another attack that is used quite frequently during the second series. It is a flat,
disc-shaped Ki blast, which can be used to slice through its target with deadly accuracy. The
Kienzan can also be controlled by the firer.
Who can use: krillin, Vegita, Freezer, Cell, Artificial Human #18.
Kikoho: This is Tenshinhan's strongest Ki blast. Tenshinhan puts the tips of his fingers of both
hands together, forming kind of an "O" between his fingers and his thumbs. Then he shoots a very
powerful Ki blast through the "O" at his opponent. While this attack is very powerful, it is also
extremely damaging to Tenshinhan, and can kill him if he uses it too much. Later on Tenshinhan
develops this technique to become the Shinkikoho, which is even more powerful.
Who can use: Tenshinhan, Cell (anime only), Cell Junior (anime only)
Ki no Tsurugi: Literally "Sword of Ki." This is a ki beam that shoots out somewhat as an extention
of the hand and can be swung and stabbed to cut or pierce enemies. The length of the beam can
be controlled by the user.
Who can use: Vegitt
Who can use: Anyone with a pure heart
Koshoku: Coming from the planet of darkness, Yakon can "eat" light using this technique. In fact,
he caused Goku to go from Super Saiyajin to normal be "eating" his light. However, if he eats too
much...
Who can use: Yakon
Kyodaika: This is a technique used by Piccolo during the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai. With this
technique Piccolo can grow his body to a huge size, making the range and strength of his blows
much more effective. Of course, this makes him a larger target as well.
Who can use: Piccolo
Kyoken: This attack's name is kind of a pun; it technically is "Mad attack," but also can mean "Mad
dog" when spelled with a different Kanji. Goku acts like a mad dog, barking and charging at his
enemy to scare him, then jumps over him and kicks his surprised enemy from behind.
Who can use: Son Goku
Mafuba: This is a special Ki blast that is used to imprison demons. It is a swirling blast of energy
shot at the intended demon. Once caught in the blast, the blast is directed into a jar, bottle, or other
imprisonment container, thus imprisoning said demon. However, if the container is opened,
whoever is trapped inside will be freed. This technique is also extremely draining; it is very easy to
kill oneself by overexertion using this attack. The originator of this technique is Mutaito,
Mutenroshi's master.
Who can use: Mutaito, Mutenroshi, Tenshinhan, Kami-sama
Makankosappo: One of Piccolo's most powerful techniques, this is a penatrating blast shot from
two fingers. It is actually two blasts, one going straight ahead and the other coiling around the first
for drilling power. This attack drills through everything it hits, and eventually blows up when it hits
something big enough.
Who can use: Piccolo, Cell, Cell Junior
Makosen: This is a Ki blast that is used by Piccolo-Daimao. Piccolo gathers ki into both his arms,
then fires a blast from each, one after the other. Not a particularly powerful attack when compared
to some of the later moves, but it almost killed Goku once.
Who can use: Piccolo-Daimao
Masenko: This is Gohan's trademark energy blast, and is fairly powerful. Gohan powers up a blast
over his head with both his hands, one palm behind the other, then brings his hands down in front
of him to fire the blast. Gohan used this blast fairly often during the second series, especially
during the Freezer saga.
Who can use: Son Gohan
Who can use: Any Nameck-seijin
Nyoibo: Not exactly a technique, but Goku uses his Nyoibo a lot in the first DB series. The Nyoibo
is a magic staff that has the power to extend up to 380,000 kilometers upon command. At first Goku
said "Bo yo, nobiro!" (Hey, staff, extend!) but later changed to "Nobiro, nyoibo!" (Extend, Nyoibo!)
Who can use: Probably anybody, but only Goku uses it.
Papparapar: This is a magic spell that Babidi can use to teleport people in his spaceship. Actually,
he teleports the entire room, with the people in it, to another place.
Who can use: Babidi
Rogafufuken: This attack is Yamucha's trademark technique; after preparing himself in a special
stance, attacks with many "claw-like" punches and kicks, finishing off with a double-fisted
"claw-punch." After training with Mutenroshi, Yamucha improves on this technique to become the
Shin-(new)Rogafufuken.
Who can use: Yamucha
Rolling Satan Punch: Satan curls up into a ball, rolls along the ground, then punches his
opponent. Being one of Satan's attacks, this one is pretty much useless in a "real" Dragon
Ball/Dragon Ball Z fight.
Who can use: Mister Satan
Renzoku Energy Dan: While many characters can use this technique, the undisputed master of
this technique is Vegita. The user of this technique can shoot ki bolts continuously from his hands,
resulting in somewhat of a "machine-gun ki blast" effect. While the indivual blasts are not
particulary powerful, the effect of hundreds together can be devastating.
Who can use: Vegita, Son Goku, Son Gohan, Piccolo.
Renzoku Shine, Shine Missile: This is Gotenks' adaptation of the Renzoku Energy Dan technique.
Basically the same, but a whole lot more powerful.
Who can use: Gotenks.
Rikum Kick: A charging knee blow used by Rikum of the Ginyu-tokusentai. Rather powerful.
Who can use: Rikum
Rikum Mahha Attack: The punch equivalent of his Kick, the Rikum Mahha Attack is a charging
punch.
Who can use: Rikum
Saiko no Kogeki: Literally "Ultimate Attack," this is the Ki blast that Nappa shoots out of his mouth.
Very powerful.
Who can use: Nappa
Saimin no Jutsu: This is a technique that Jacky Chun can use to hypnotize someone and affect his
or her mind. He used it agains Otoko-ookami during the 22nd Tenkaichi-Budokai.
Who can use: Mutenroshi
Saruken: Much like Mutenroshi's "Suiken," this is primarily a "distract and avoid" technique; Goku
acts like a monkey, using monkey-like attacks (scratching, bouncing, etc.) and taunting his
opponent at the same time.
Who can use: Son Goku
Satan Special Ultra Super Megaton Punch: Mister Satan's "Ultimate" attack. Really just a normal
punch. Mister Satan forgot the name of this attack almost as soon as he had made it. Used against
#18 in the 25th Tenkaichi-Budokai.
Who can use: Mister Satan
Sekikatsuba: This is one of Dabura's powerful attacks. Dabura's saliva will tun whatever it hits to
stone, be it alive or not. The only way to reverse the petrification is to kill Dabura.
Who can use: Dabura
Shiyoken: This is a technique used by Tenshinhan to sprout an extra set of arms from his
shoulders. Therefore he can both attack and block with all four arms, significantly increasing his
attack and defense power.
Who can use: Tenshinhan
Shogekiha: This is almost exactly like the Kiaiho. It is an invisible blast shot from the eyes, hand,
but is a little more versatile, and can be shot from any part of the body. Piccolo (Jr) can adapt this
attack to radiate from his entire body.
Who can use: Piccolo, Kaioshin, Majin-Buu.
Shunkanido: Not a fighting technique, but often used to gain a tactical advantage in a fight. The
Shunkanido is a teleport. The user places two fingers on his forehead, searches for a ki he wants
to go to, then when he finds it, can teleport there. It is not a technique that one can use to teleport
wherever he pleases; there must be a person there to teleport to.
Who can use: Son Goku, Cell
Sokidan: This is a round energy ball shot from the palm of the hand. What is really special about
this attack is that it is guided, probably the most easily guided energy attack in the first series. I
think it was only used once, during the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai.
Who can use: Yamucha
Spinning Cyclone*: Goku only used this technique once during the first Tenkaichi-Budokai in the
series. He spins around at a very fast speed, at which point he turns into somewhat of a cyclone
and knocks into his enemies. It didn't work too well because he got too dizzy. I guess that's why he
never used it again.
Who can use: Son Goku
Suiken: This is technique is used by Mutenroshi; he acts drunk and wobbles around. Thereby, he
confuses his opponent, and hits them when they are off guard.
Who can use: Mutenroshi
Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack: One of Gotenks' strongest techniques, he spits out a ghost-like
form closely resembling himself. The ghostlike form has a mind of its own, and when it hits
anything, it explodes, severely damaging whatever is caught in the blast.
Who can use: Gotenks
Taiyoken: This technique is originally Tenshinhan's. The user puts his hands in front of his face,
says "Taiyoken," and lights up very bright, so much that he blinds his opponent. This technique
was used a lot througout Dragon Ball Z.
Who can use: Tenshinhan, Son Goku, krillin, Cell
Tenkubekejiken: The user of this technique jumps high in the air, then on the way down, face
forward with his arms in an "X" position, landing on his opponent with the arm "X." A very
powerful technique when used upon those without any special fighting powers.
Who can use: Namu
Time stop: This is an attack used by Guld, the smallest member of the Ginyu-tokusentai. When he
uses it, he freezes time for his opponents so that they are frozen in whatever position they were in.
However, he needs to keep his attention on his victims in order to keep them frozen. Guld also has
the power to stop time completely, but for only a moment, and he can't do it for too many times
without tiring himself out.
Who can use: Guld
Tsuihidan: This is another technique used by Piccolo during the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai. It is a ki
blast, and it tracks its enemy much like krillin's Double Tsuihikidan.
Who can use: Piccolo
Udebunrikogeki: The user of this technique pulls a piece off of his body and controls it to attack
his opponent in some way. Naturally, only Majin-Buu can use this technique.
Who can use: Majin-Buu
Yoikominminken: This was a technique used by Jacky Chun during the 21st Tenkaichi-Budokai. It
is a hypnosis technique used to put people into a deep sleep, by using a strange voice and hand
motions.
Who can use: Mutenroshi
Yokaieki: This is a technique used by the Saibaimen. They split their head in two and shoot a
stream of acid from it, which is very dangerous if it hits its target.
Who can use: Saibaiman
Zanzoken: Another technique created by Mutenroshi, with this technique, the user can move so
fast he leaves an after-image, while attacking from another standpoint. Goku can also leave
multiple images, I think the maximum he used was around 7 or 8 in Karin's tower. Later Mutenroshi
learns to make large numbers of images as well.
Who can use: Son Goku, Mutenroshi, krillin, Tenshinhan
